General Overview

We are a provider of an innovative cold chain frozen shipping system dedicated to providing superior, affordable cryogenic shipping solutions that ensure the safety, status and temperature, of high value, temperature sensitive materials. We have developed cost effective reusable cryogenic transport containers (referred to as "shippers") capable of transporting biological, environmental and other temperature sensitive materials at temperatures below minus 150° Celsius. These dry vapor shippers are one of the first significant alternatives to dry ice shipping and achieve 10-plus day holding times compared to one to two day holding times with dry ice.


Our value proposition comes from providing both safe transportation and an environmentally friendly, long lasting shipper, and through our value added services that offer a simple, hassle-free solution for our customers. These value-added services include an internet-based web portal that enables the customer to initiate scheduling, shipping and tracking of the progress and status of a shipment, and provides in-transit temperature and custody transfer monitoring services of the shipper. The CryoPort service also provides a fully ready charged shipper containing all freight bills, customs documents and regulatory paperwork for the entire journey of the shipper to our customers at their pick up location.

Our principal focus has been the further development and commercial launch of CryoPort Express® Portal, an innovative IT solution for shipping and tracking high-value specimens through overnight shipping companies, and our CryoPort Express ® Shipper, a dry vapor cryogenic shipper for the transport of biological and pharmaceutical materials. A dry vapor cryogenic shipper is a container that uses liquid nitrogen in dry vapor form, which is suspended inside a vacuum insulated bottle as a refrigerant, to provide storage temperatures below minus 150° Celsius. The dry vapor shipper is designed using innovative, proprietary, and patented technology which prevents spillage of liquid nitrogen and pressure build up as the liquid nitrogen evaporates. A proprietary foam retention system is employed to ensure that liquid nitrogen stays inside the vacuum container, even when placed upside-down or on its side, as is often the case when in the custody of a shipping company. Biological specimens are stored in a specimen chamber, referred to as a "well," inside the container and refrigeration is provided by harmless cold nitrogen gas evolving from the liquid nitrogen entrapped within the foam retention system surrounding the well. Biological specimens transported using our cryogenic shipper can include clinical samples, diagnostics, live cell pharmaceutical products (such as cancer vaccines, semen and embryos, infectious substances) and other items that require and/or are protected through continuous exposure to frozen or cryogenic temperatures.

We offer our solution to companies in the life sciences industry. These companies operate within a heavily regulated environment and as such, changing vendors and distribution practices typically require a number of steps which may include the audit of our facilities, review of our procedures, qualifying us as a vendor, and performing test shipments. This process can take several months or longer to complete prior to a company fully adopting the Cryoport Express solution.

During our early years, our limited revenue was derived from the sale of our reusable product line. Our current business plan focuses on per-use leasing of the shipping container and added-value services that will be used by us to provide an end-to-end and cost-optimized shipping solution to life science companies moving pharmaceutical and biological samples in clinical trials and pharmaceutical distribution.

We have incurred losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $58,259,616 through December 31, 2011.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to three months ended December 31, 2010:

Net revenues. Net revenues were $144,254 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $99,569 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The $44,685 or 44.9% increase is primarily driven by an increase in the number of customers utilizing our services compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenue also overcame a decrease in revenue derived from one customer in the prior year (3% in the current period as compared to 17% in the same period in the prior year). One of this customer's products was converted from a frozen shipping product to one that did not require frozen shipping.

Gross loss and cost of revenues. Gross loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 139% of net revenues, or $200,448, as compared to 158% of net revenues, or $156,954, for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in gross loss in absolute dollars is primarily due to increase in net revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 239% of net revenues, or $344,702, as compared to 258% of net revenues, or $256,523, for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The cost of revenues exceeded net revenues due to fixed manufacturing costs and plant underutilization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,740,324 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1,080,768 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The $659,556 increase reflects the addition of twelve new employees (ten in the sales and marketing department), recruiting fees for these new hires, and consulting costs for promotional activities. The increase in headcount, in particular in the sales in marketing department, reflects the Company's focus on promoting the use of its CryoPort Express® System and expanding its customer base through a direct inside and field sales team.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $120,702 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $105,020 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Our research and development efforts are focused on continually improving the features of the CryoPort Express ® System including the web-based customer service portal and the CryoPort Express ® Shippers.


Interest expense. Interest expense was $78,974 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $151,428 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of approximately $12,000, amortization of the debt discount of $42,000 and interest expense on our convertible debentures of $25,000. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of $14,114 and amortization of the debt discount of $135,271.

Interest income. Interest income was $698 for the three month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $3,547 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to decrease in average cash balance during the current quarter.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $60,185 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a gain of $33,987 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The gain of $60,185 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was the result of a decrease in the value of our warrant derivatives, due primarily to a decrease in our stock price.

Net loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased by $622,929 to $2,079,565 or ($0.07) per share compared to a net loss of $1,456,636 or ($0.11) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared to nine months ended December 31, 2010:

Net revenues. Net revenues were $378,718 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $375,438 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. While the number of customers ordering during the period compared to the same period in the prior year increased by 79.3%, year-to-date revenues remained relatively flat compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenue attributable to the increase in new customers was significantly offset by a decrease in revenue derived from one customer ( 3% in the current period as compared to 44% in the same period in the prior year), as one of this customer's products no longer required the cryogenic shipping method during the current period.

Gross loss and cost of revenues. Gross loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was 181% of net revenues, or $683,814, as compared to 174% of net revenues, or $653,837, for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in gross loss in absolute dollars is primarily due to increase in net revenues. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was 281% of net revenues, or $1,062,532 as compared to 274% of net revenues, or $1,029,275, for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The cost of revenues exceeded net revenues due to fixed manufacturing costs and plant underutilization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,933,102 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $3,138,337 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The $1,794,765 increase reflects the addition of twelve new employees (ten in the sales and marketing department), recruiting fees for these new hires, and consulting costs for promotional activities. The increase in headcount, in particular in the sales, marketing and client services department, reflects the Company's focus on promoting the use of its CryoPort Express® System and expanding its customer base through a direct inside and field sales team.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $346,637 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $341,655 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Our research and development efforts are focused on continually improving the features of the CryoPort Express ® System including the web based customer service portal and the CryoPort Express ® Shippers.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $320,042 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $447,588 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of $36,582 amortization of the debt discount of $170,544, and interest expense on our convertible debentures of $110,248. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of $43,712 and amortization of the debt discount of $385,752.


Interest income. Interest income was $12,513 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $10,896 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2010. Current interest income included the impact of increased cash balances related to the funds received in connection with the February 2011 private placement offering.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $109,153 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a gain of $276,860 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The gain of $109,153 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was the result of a decrease in the value of our warrant derivatives, due primarily to a decrease in our stock price.

Net loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased by $1,868,268 to $6,163,529 or ($0.22) per share compared to a net loss of $4,295,261 or ($0.40) per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,796,089 and working capital of $846,356. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9,278,443 and working capital of $6,759,755. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our debt and equity securities. From March 2005 through December 2011, we have received net proceeds of approximately $28.1 million from sales of our common stock and the issuance of promissory notes, warrants and debt.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we used $4,673,462 of cash for operations primarily as a result of the net loss of $6,163,529 including non-cash expenses of $527,981 for the fair value of stock options and warrants. Net operating losses increased as a result of an increase in headcount and overall commercial activity. Offsetting the cash impact of our net operating loss (excluding non-cash items) was a decrease in total other assets of $155,937 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $338,475 due primarily to increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $369,070 during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and was attributable to the purchase of property and equipment of $243,857 and the purchase of intangible assets of $125,213.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $1,439,822 during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and resulted primarily from payment of deferred financing costs of $158,270 and repayment of convertible debt of $1,776,628. This was partially offset by the gross proceeds from exercises of warrants of $571,633.

Historically, we have funded our operations and the development and commercial launch of our CryoPort Express® solution through debt and equity financing arrangements. Future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the success of our commercialization efforts and the level of customer adoption of our CryoPort Express® System as well as our ability to establish additional collaborative arrangements.

We continue to assess our needs for additional capital to ensure sufficient financial resources are available to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other cash requirements. We believe that our access to additional capital, together with existing cash resources and the expected increase in sales revenue will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months. If, however, we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations will be significantly affected.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance on alignment of disclosures for GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, by updating Topic 820 entitled "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS", relating to presentation of fair value measurements reported in financial statements. The updated guidance requires companies to align fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and IFRS. The updated guidance is effective beginning in our fiscal 2012 year and earlier adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
