PROSPECTUS

CORD BLOOD AMERICA, INC.

47,562,096 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relates to the resale of 47,562,096 shares of our common stock, par value of $0.0001, by certain individuals and entities who beneficially own shares of our common stock.  We are not selling any shares of our common stock in this offering and therefore we will not receive any proceeds from this offering. However, the Company will receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was entered into between the Company and Tangiers Investors, LP, (“Tangiers”), the selling stockholder. We agreed to allow Tangiers to retain 10% of the proceeds raised under the Securities Purchase Agreement, which is more fully described below.

The Company filed a registration statement to register the 47,562,096 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on November 4, 2008. On January 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No.1 to Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers (the “Amendment”).  The Amendment removed the Floor Price under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was previously set at $0.01, which meant that if our stock price fell below $0.01 we could not sell our stock to Tangiers in order to receive cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. By removing this limitation we can now sell shares of our common stock to Tangiers if the stock price falls below $0.01.  This registration statement must be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to us being able to issue those shares to Tangiers so that we may obtain cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Amendment also revised the “Maximum Advance Amount” under the Securities Purchase Agreement so that the maximum amount of each advance that the Company could draw under the Securities Purchase Agreement would be limited to the average daily trading volume in dollar amount during the 10 trading days preceding the advance date. No advance will be made in an amount lower than the $10,000 or higher than $250,000. Finally, the Amendment eliminated the Company’s right to terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement with 45 days written notice in the event the Company’s stock price remained at an amount equal to 50% of the floor price of $0.01 and remained there for a period of at least 90 days.

The shares of our common stock are being offered for sale by the selling stockholder at prices established on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during the term of this offering, at prices different than prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. On November 21, 2008, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.0035 per share. Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “CBAI.OB.” These prices will fluctuate based on the demand for the shares of our common stock. Tangiers is a selling stockholder under this registration statement and intends to sell shares that we will issue to them pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement so that we may receive financing pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.   As of January 5, 2009 the   number of shares that we are registering for sale under this Form S-1, Amendment No. 2, upon issuance would equal approximately 13.6% of our outstanding common stock. 

With the exception of Tangiers, who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, no other underwriter or person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering. This offering will terminate twenty-four months after the accompanying registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. None of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders will be placed in escrow, trust or any similar account.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 8 TO READ ABOUT FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OF ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY BE CHANGED. WE MAY NOT SELL THESE SECURITIES UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IS EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL THESE SECURITIES AND IT IS NOT SOLICITING AN OFFER TO BUY THESE SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE THE OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED.

The date of this Prospectus is January __, 2009

GENERAL

As used in this Prospectus, references to “the Company,” “Cord” “we”, “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Cord Blood America, Inc., unless otherwise indicated. In addition, any references to our “financial statements” are to our consolidated financial statements except as the context otherwise requires.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock. You should carefully read the entire Prospectus, including “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial Statements, before making an investment decision.

Corporate Background and Our Business

We are engaged in the business of collecting, testing, processing and preserving umbilical cord blood, thereby allowing families to preserve cord blood at the birth of a child for potential use in future stem cell therapy. We are primarily a holding company whose subsidiaries include Cord Partners, Inc., CorCell Co. Inc., CorCell Ltd., (“Cord”), CBA Professional Services, Inc. D/B/A BodyCells, Inc. (“BodyCells”), CBA Properties, Inc. (“Properties”), and Career Channel Inc, D/B/A Rainmakers International (“Rain”)/ BodyCells is in development stage and is in the business of collecting, processing and preserving peripheral blood and adipose tissue stem cells allowing individuals to privately preserve their stem cells for potential use in stem cell therapy. Properties was formed to hold the corporate trademarks and any other intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries. Rain was acquired in February 2005 and is engaged in the business of advertising. Rain specializes in delivering leads to corporate customers through national television and radio campaigns.

Our headquarters are located at 501 Santa Monica Blvd., Ste. 700, Santa Monica, CA 90401. Our website is located at www.cordblood-america.com. Our telephone number is 310-432-4090.

Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring net losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.4 million as of September 30, 2008. In addition, we have a working capital deficit of approximately $12.7 million as of September 30, 2008. We had net losses of $5,994,004, an accumulated deficit of approximately $18,000,000 and a working capital deficit of $9,395,262 as of December 31, 2007. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses and the growth of the business, through private placements of its common stock, the issuance of debt and proceeds from the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Shelter Securities Purchase Agreement and the Enable Securities Purchase Agreement. We are continuing to attempt to increase revenues within its core businesses. In addition, we are exploring alternate ways of generating revenues through acquiring other businesses in the stem cell industry.  In June, 2008, the Company announced the signing of a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers Investors, LP, whereby Tangiers may purchase up to $4 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed a registration statement to register certain shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective on November 4, 2008. On January 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No.1 to Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers (the “Amendment”). The removed the Floor Price under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was previously set at $0.01, which meant that if our stock price fell below $0.01 we could not sell our stock to Tangiers in order to receive cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. By removing this limitation we can now sell shares of our common stock to Tangiers if the stock price falls below $0.01. The Amendment also revised the “Maximum Advance Amount” under the Securities Purchase Agreement so that the maximum amount of each advance that the Company could draw under the Securities Purchase Agreement would be limited to the average daily trading volume in dollar amount during the 10 trading days preceding the advance date. No advance will be made in an amount lower than the $10,000 or higher than $250,000. Finally, the Amendment eliminated the Company’s right to terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement with 45 days written notice in the event the Company’s stock price remained at an amount equal to 50% of the floor price of $0.01 and remained there for a period of at least 90 days.

This registration statement must be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to us being able to issue those shares to Tangiers so that we may obtain cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. As well, the Company has taken steps to reduce its overall spending through the reduction of headcount and cuts in sales and administrative expenses. The ongoing execution of our business plan is expected to result in operating losses over the next twelve months. There are no assurances that we will be successful in achieving its goals of increasing revenues and reaching profitability.

In view of these conditions, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to meet its financing requirements, and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event we cannot continue as a going concern.

RISK FACTORS

The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling security holder are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks related to our Securities Purchase Agreement

Existing stockholders will experience significant dilution from our sale of shares under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The sale of shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly as we sell shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In addition, for any particular advance, we will need to issue a greater number of shares of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement as our stock price declines. If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.

The investor under the Securities Purchase Agreement will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock

The common stock to be issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement will be issued at 90% of the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date we send an advance notice to the investor and is subject to further reduction provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement. These discounted sales could also cause the price of our common stock to decline.

The sale of our stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the further decline of our stock price.

The significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock caused by the sale of material amounts of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement could encourage short sales by third parties. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

We may not be able to access sufficient funds under the Securities Purchase Agreement when needed.

The commitment amount of the Securities Purchase Agreement is $4,000,000. After estimated fees and offering costs, we will receive net proceeds of approximately $3,550,000. Our share price is currently trading above $0.003 per share.  We will need to register 1,481,481,481 shares of our common stock in order to obtain the full $4,000,000 available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The total amount of 47,562,096 shares of our common stock will be issued to Tangiers in order to obtain the funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement.  Which means we will be required to file another registration statement if we intend to obtain the full amount of funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. If we issue to Tangiers all 47,562,096 shares of our common stock we will only be able to receive approximately $128,418 in net proceeds.

Our ability to raise funds under the Securities Purchase Agreement is also limited by a number of factors, including the fact that the maximum advance amount is capped at $250,000 as well as the fact that we are not permitted to submit any request for an advance within 10 trading days of a prior request. Also the Company may only draw an amount equal to the average daily trading volume in dollar amount during the 10 trading days preceding the advance date. As such, although sufficient funds are made available to the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement, such funds may not be readily available when needed by the Company.

We may be limited in the amount we can raise under the Securities Purchase Agreement because of concerns about selling more shares into the market than the market can absorb without a significant price adjustment.

The Company intends to exert its best efforts to avoid a significant downward pressure on the price of its common stock by refraining from placing more shares into the market than the market can absorb. This potential adverse impact on the stock price may limit our willingness to use the Securities Purchase Agreement. Until there is a greater trading volume, it seems unlikely that we will be able to access the maximum amount we can draw without an adverse impact on the stock price

We will not be able to use the Securities Purchase Agreement if the shares to be issued in connection with an advance would result in Tangiers owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we may not request advances if the shares to be issued in connection with such advances would result in Tangiers and its affiliates owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock. We are permitted under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement to make limited draws on the Securities Purchase Agreement so long as Tangiers beneficial ownership of our common stock remains lower than 9.9%. A possibility exists that Tangiers and its affiliates may own more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock (whether through open market purchases, retention of shares issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement, or otherwise) at a time when we would otherwise plan to obtain an advance under the Securities Purchase Agreement.  As such, by operation of the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may be prohibited from procuring additional funding when necessary due to these provisions discussed above.

The Securities Purchase Agreement will restrict our ability to engage in alternative financings.

The structure of transactions under the Securities Purchase Agreement will result in the Company being deemed to be involved in a near continuous indirect primary public offering of our securities. As long as we are deemed to be engaged in a public offering, our ability to engage in a private placement will be limited because of integration concerns and therefore limits our ability to obtain additional funding if necessary. If we do not obtain the necessary funds required to maintain the operations of the business and to settle our liabilities on a timely manner, the business will inevitable suffer.

Risks Related To Our Business

We Have Been The Subject Of A Going Concern Opinion By Our Independent Auditors Who Have Raised Substantial Doubt As To Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring net losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.4 million as of September 30, 2008. In addition, we have a working capital deficit of approximately $12.7 million as of September 30, 2008. We had net losses of $5,994,004, an accumulated deficit of approximately $18,000,000 and a working capital deficit of $9,395,262 as of December 31, 2007. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Assurances cannot be given that adequate financing can be obtained to meet our capital needs. If we are unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing to meet our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing, and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur, we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

We May Not Be Able To Increase Sales Or Otherwise Successfully Operate Our Business, Which Could Have A Significant Negative Impact On Our Financial Condition

We believe that the key to our success is to increase sales of our cord blood preservation services as well as our advertising services and thereby increase our revenues and available cash. Our success with regard to cord blood preservation services will depend in large part on widespread market acceptance of cryo-preservation of cord blood and our efforts to educate potential customers and sell our services. Broad use and acceptance of our service requires marketing expenditures and education and awareness of consumers and medical practitioners. We may not have the resources required to promote our services and their potential benefits. Successful commercialization of our services  will also require that we satisfactorily address the needs of various medical practitioners that constitute a target market to reach consumers of our services and to address potential resistance to recommendations for our services. If we are unable to gain market acceptance of our services, we will not be able to generate enough revenue to achieve and maintain profitability or to continue our operations.

Our efforts to increase our sales and revenues of advertising and direct response marketing services could be adversely impacted by the need for direct to consumer advertising services and the strength of the United States economy, especially for the small to mid-sized businesses that comprise the majority of our client base. Since downturns in the economy have generally had a more severe effect upon smaller companies, especially single-product companies, any changes or anticipated changes in the economy which cause these companies to reduce their advertising, marketing and promotion budget could negatively impact our advertising and direct response marketing business.

Because of our dependence on a limited number of customers, our failure to attract new clients for our advertising business could impair our ability to continue successful operations. The absence of a significant client base may impair our ability to attract new clients. Our failure to develop and sustain long-term relationships with our clients would impair our ability to continue our direct response marketing business, as a significant number of our agreements for advertising are for short-term or single project engagements. If our clients do not continue to use our services, and if we are unable to replace departing clients or generate new business in a timely or effective manner our business could be significantly and adversely affected.

We may not be able to increase our sales or effectively operate our business. To the extent we are unable to achieve sales growth, we may continue to incur losses. We may not be successful or make progress in the growth and operation of our business. Our current and future expense levels are based on operating plans and estimates of future sales and revenues and are subject to increase as strategies are implemented. Even if our sales grow, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.

Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues would likely have an immediate material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Further, if we substantially increase our operating expenses to increase sales and marketing, and such expenses are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, our operating performance and results would be adversely affected and, if sustained, could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent we implement cost reduction efforts to align our costs with revenue, our sales could be adversely affected.

We May Be Unable To Manage Growth, Which May Impact Our Potential Profitability.

Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:

·

Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives

·

Maintain a system of management controls

·

Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as, develop, train and manage management-level and other employees

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.

We Are Dependent Upon External Financing To Fund Our Ongoing Operations And Implement Our Business Plan.

Currently, we are dependent upon external financing to fund our operations. It is imperative that we receive this external financing to implement our business plan and to finance ongoing operations. New capital may not be available and adequate funds may not be sufficient for our operations, and may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to our management. Our failure to obtain adequate additional financing may require us to delay, curtail or scale back some or all of our operations and may hinder our ability to expand or continue our business.

We Are Dependent Upon A Third Party Facility For The Storage Of Umbilical Cord Blood; If Our Storage Arrangements Terminate Or The Facility Fails For Any Reason, We May Not Be Able To Provide Cord Blood Banking Services For Some Period Of Time.

We do not own or operate a storage facility for umbilical cord blood. On August 1, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (“PCT”) for testing, processing and storage of cord blood samples, and terminated an agreement with Bergen Community Regional Blood Center (“Bergen”). If our agreement with PCT were to terminate for any reason, we believe that comparable services could be secured from another provider at comparable cost within the contractual notice period. However, we may not be able to secure such terms or secure such terms within such time frame. In such event, we may not be able to continue to provide our cord blood banking services for some period of time or our expenses of storage may increase, or both. This would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

All cord blood collected from our customers is stored in Paramus, New Jersey. If our storage arrangements with the facility terminate for any reason, we may not be able to continue to provide our cord blood banking services for some period of time. Even if we are able to negotiate an extension of our existing agreement or enter into one or more new agreements, we may not be able to obtain favorable terms.

Any material disruption in the ability to maintain continued, uninterrupted storage systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, break-ins, tornadoes and similar events for which we may not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur.

We Are Dependent Upon A Patent License Agreement For Certain Technology And Processes Utilized To Collect, Process And Store Umbilical Cord Blood; If Our Licensing Arrangement Terminates For Any Reason, We May Not Be Able To Collect, Process Or Store Umbilical Cord Blood For Some Period Of Time.

Pursuant to the Patent License Agreement, we may, on a non-exclusive basis, collect, process and store cord blood utilizing PharmaStem technology and processes covered by its patents for so long as the patents remain in effect. If our licensing arrangement with PharmaStem terminates for any reason, then we may not be able to provide our cord blood banking services for some period of time, if at all. Even if we are able to negotiate a new agreement with PharmaStem, we may not be able to obtain favorable terms.

If We Do Not Obtain And Maintain Necessary Domestic Regulatory Registrations, Approvals And Comply With Ongoing Regulations, We May Not Be Able To Market Our Cord Blood Banking Services.

The cord blood banking services that we provide are currently subject to FDA regulations requiring infectious disease testing. The cord blood facility we use has registered with the FDA as a cord blood banking service, listed its products with the FDA, and will be subject to FDA inspection. In addition, the FDA has proposed new good tissue practice regulations that would establish a comprehensive regulatory program for human cellular and tissue-based products as well as proposed rules for donor suitability. Consistent with industry practice, our cord blood collection kits have not been cleared as a medical device. The FDA has announced that it will implement more regulatory procedures for cord blood banking in 2006. This new regulation may require medical device pre-market notification clearance or approval for the collection kits. Securing any necessary medical device clearance or approval for the cord blood collection kits may involve the submission of a substantial volume of data and may require a lengthy substantive review. This would increase costs and could reduce profitability. The FDA could also require that we cease using the collection kit and require medical device pre-market notification clearance or approval prior to further use of the kits. This could cause us to cease operations for some period of time.

We may not be able to comply with any future regulatory requirements, including product standards that may be developed after the date hereof. Moreover, the cost of compliance with government regulations may adversely affect revenue and profitability.

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, injunctions, operating restrictions, and civil fines and criminal prosecution. Delays or failure to obtain registrations could have a material adverse effect on the marketing and sales of services and impair the ability to operate profitably in the future.

Of the states in which we provide cord blood banking services, only New Jersey and New York currently require that cord blood banks be licensed. We maintain the required procurement service licenses of both the states of New York and New Jersey. If other states adopt requirements for the licensing of cord blood banking services, either the cord blood storage facility, or we may have to obtain licenses to continue providing services in those states.

Because Our Industry Is Subject To Rapid Technological And Therapeutic Changes And New Developments, Our Future Success Will Depend On The Continued Viability Of The Use Of Stem Cells And Our Ability To Respond To The Changes.

The use of stem cells in the treatment of disease is a relatively new technology and is subject to potentially revolutionary technological, medical and therapeutic changes. Future technological and medical developments could render the use of stem cells obsolete. In addition, there may be significant advances in other treatment methods, such as genetics, or in disease prevention techniques, which could significantly reduce the need for the services we provide. Therefore, changes in technology could affect the market for our services and necessitate changes to those services. We believe that our future success will depend largely on our ability to anticipate or adapt to such changes, to offer on a timely basis, services that meet these evolving standards and demand of our customers. Expectant parents may not use our services and our services may not provide competitive advantages with current or future technologies. Failure to achieve increased market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Markets Are Increasingly Competitive And, In The Event We Are Unable To Compete Against Larger Competitors, Our Business Could Be Adversely Affected.

Cord blood banking and stem cell preservation is becoming an increasingly competitive business. Our business faces competition from other operators of cord blood and stem cell preservation businesses and providers of cord blood and stem cell storage services. Competitors with greater access to financial resources may enter our markets and compete with us. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer relationships with clients, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources than we do. Established competitors, who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than us, are able to engage in more substantial advertising and promotion and attract a greater number of customers and business than we currently attract. While this competition is already intense, if it increases, it could have an even greater adverse impact on our revenues and profitability. In the event that we are not able to compete successfully, our business will be adversely affected and competition may make it more difficult for us to grow our revenue and maintain our existing business.

The advertising and direct marketing service industry is highly competitive. We compete with major national and international advertising and marketing companies and with major providers of creative or media services. The client’s perception of the quality of our creative product, our reputation and our ability to serve clients are, to a large extent, factors in determining our ability to generate and maintain advertising business. Our size and our lack of significant revenue may affect the way that potential clients view us.

Our Information Systems Are Critical To Our Business And A Failure Of Those Systems Could Materially Harm Us.

We depend on our ability to store, retrieve, process and manage a significant amount of information. If our information systems fail to perform as expected, or if we suffer an interruption, malfunction or loss of information processing capabilities, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel, Which Could Be Detrimental To Our Operations.

Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of our Chief Executive Officer, Matthew L. Schissler. The loss of his services could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to find his successor. Such a loss would also divert management’s attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain key-man life insurance policies on our Chief Executive Officer. We also have other key employees who manage our operations and if we were to lose their services, senior management would be required to expend time and energy to find and train their replacements. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources, we may not be able to attract sufficient number and quality of staff.

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form

prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

THE OFFERING

This offering relates to the sale of our common stock by selling stockholders, who intend to sell up to 47,562,096 shares of our common stock which are subject to issuance under the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 27, 2008. The Company filed a registration statement to register the 47,562,096 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on November 4, 2008. On January 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No.1 to Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers. Amendment No.1 removed the Floor Price under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was previously set at $0.01, which meant that if our stock price fell below $0.01 we could not sell our stock to Tangiers in order to receive cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. By removing this limitation we can now sell shares of our common stock to Tangiers if the stock price falls below $0.01. This registration statement must be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to us being able to issue those shares to Tangiers so that we may obtain cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The commitment amount of the Securities Purchase Agreement is $4,000,000. After estimated fees and offering costs, we will receive net proceeds of approximately $3,550,000 provided we are able to continue to maintain a sufficient number of shares authorized for issuance under the Securities Purchase Agreement and are able to register those shares for issuance to Tangiers. We will need to register 1,481,481,481 shares of our common stock in order to obtain the full $4,000,000 available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Under this registration statement we are registering 47,562,096 shares of our common stock which we will be issue to Tangiers in order to obtain the funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Which means we will be required to file another registration statement if we intend to obtain the full amount of funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. If we issue to Tangiers all 47,562,096 shares of our common stock we will only be able to receive approximately $128,418.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically issue and sell to Tangiers shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $4,000,000. The amount of each advance is subject to a maximum advance amount of $250,000, and we may not submit any advance within 10 trading days of a prior advance. The Company may only draw under an amount equal to the average daily trading volume in dollar amount during the 10 trading days preceding the advance date. Subject to various conditions specified therein, Tangiers is required to purchase any and all shares that the Company seeks to sell to it under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Tangiers intends to sell any shares purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement at the then prevailing market price. Tangiers may sell shares of our common stock that are subject to a particular advance before it actually receives those shares. These sales of our common stock in the public market could lower the market price of our common stock. In the event that the market price of our common stock decreases, we would not be able to draw down the remaining balance available under the Securities Purchase Agreement with the number of shares being registered in the accompanying registration statement.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers is prohibited from engaging in short sales of our stock. Short selling is the act of borrowing a security from a broker and selling it, with the understanding that it must later be bought back (hopefully at a lower price) and returned to the broker. Short selling is a technique used by investors who try to profit from the falling price of a stock. Among other things, this Prospectus relates to the shares of our common stock to be issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement. There are substantial risks to investors as a result of the issuance of shares of our common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement. These risks include dilution of our shareholders, significant declines in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed.

There is an inverse relationship between our stock price and the number of shares to be issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement. That is, as our stock price declines, we would be required to issue a greater number of shares under the Securities Purchase Agreement for a given advance.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This Prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. There will be no proceeds to us from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering. The selling stockholders will receive all such proceeds.

However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to Tangiers under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Tangiers will purchase our shares of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement at a 10% discount to the current market price. The purchase price of the shares purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement will be equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately following the notice date.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we cannot draw more than $250,000 every five trading days.

For illustrative purposes only, we have set forth below our intended use of proceeds for the range of net proceeds indicated below to be received under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The table assumes estimated offering expenses of $50,000, plus 10% payable to Tangiers under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The figures below are estimates only, and may be changed due to various factors, including the timing of the receipt of the proceeds.

The Securities Purchase Agreement limits our use of proceeds to general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the payment of loans incurred by us. In no event can we use the net proceeds from the Securities Purchase Agreement for the payment (or loan to any such person for the payment) of any judgment, or other liability incurred by any executive officer, officer, director or employee of ours, except for any liability owed to such person for services rendered, or if any judgment or other liability is incurred by such person originating from services rendered to us, or we have indemnified such person from liability.

We have chosen to pursue the Securities Purchase Agreement funding because it will make a large amount of cash available to us with the advantage of allowing us to decide when, and how much, we will draw from this financing. We will be in control of the draw down amounts and hope to be able to draw down from the Securities Purchase Agreement whenever the Company deems that such funds are needed. Our objective will be to draw down on the Securities Purchase Agreement funding during periods of positive results for us and during stages when our stock price is rising, in order to control and minimize, as much as possible, the potential dilution for our current and future stockholders. It may not be possible for us to always meet our objective; therefore, we will continue to identify alternative sources of financing, as we always have, including additional private placements of our stock.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The shares of our common stock are being offered for sale by the selling stockholders at prices established on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during the term of this offering, at prices different than prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.

DILUTION

The issuance of the 47,562,096 shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. For any particular advance, we will need to issue a greater number of shares of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement which would expose our existing stockholders to greater dilution.

Shares Acquired In Financing Transactions with Cord Blood

Tangiers. Tangiers is the investor under the Securities Purchase Agreement. All investment decisions of, and control of, Tangiers are held by Robert Papiri and Edward Liceaga its managing partners. Tangiers Capital, LLC, makes the investment decisions on behalf of and controls Tangiers. Tangiers acquired all shares being registered in this offering in a financing transaction with us. This transaction is explained below:

Securities Purchase Agreement. On June 27, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to Tangiers shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of up to $4,000,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, for each share of our common stock purchased thereunder, Tangiers will pay us 90% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which our common stock is traded for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately following an advance notice date. In addition, Tangiers received 17,021,277 shares of our common stock. On January 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No.1 to Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers (the “Amendment”). The Amendment removed the Floor Price under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was previously set at $0.01, which meant that if our stock price fell below $0.01 we could not sell our stock to Tangiers in order to receive cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. By removing this limitation we can now sell shares of our common stock to Tangiers if the stock price falls below $0.01. The Amendment also revised the “Maximum Advance Amount” under the Securities Purchase Agreement so that the maximum amount of each advance that the Company could draw under the Securities Purchase Agreement would be limited to the average daily trading volume in dollar amount during the 10 trading days preceding the advance date. No advance will be made in an amount lower than the $10,000 or higher than $250,000. Finally, the Amendment eliminated the Company’s right to terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement with 45 days written notice in the event the Company’s stock price remained at an amount equal to 50% of the floor price of $0.01 and remained there for a period of at least 90 days.

There are certain risks related to sales by Tangiers, including:

·

The outstanding shares will be issued based on a discount to the market rate. As a result, the lower the stock price is around the time Tangiers is issued shares, the greater chance that Tangiers gets more shares. This could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of common stock.



10



  


·

To the extent Tangiers sells our common stock, our common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow Tangiers to sell greater amounts of common stock, the sales of which would further depress the stock price.

·

The significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as Tangiers sells material amounts of our common stock could encourage short sales by Tangiers or others. This could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of our common stock owned by the selling stockholders may be sold or transferred directly to purchasers by the selling stockholders as principals or through one or more underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise than on the over-the-counter market. Any of such transactions may be effected at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling stockholders or by agreement between the selling stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, or purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling their shares of common stock to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).

Tangiers is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Tangiers will pay us 90% of, or a 10% discount to, the volume weighted average price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal trading market on which our common stock is traded for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately following the advance date. In addition, Tangiers received 17,021,277 shares of our common stock. Tangiers’ obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement are not transferable.

The commitment amount of the Securities Purchase Agreement is $4,000,000. After estimated fees and offering costs, we will may receive net proceeds of approximately $3,550,000. We will need to register approximately 1,481,481,481 shares of our common stock in order to obtain the total amount of the funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. On January 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No.1 to Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers. Amendment No.1 removed the Floor Price under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was previously set at $0.01, which meant that if our stock price fell below $0.01 we could not sell our stock to Tangiers in order to receive cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. By removing this limitation we can now sell shares of our common stock to Tangiers if the stock price falls below $0.01.

The issuance of 1,481,481,481 shares could cause significant dilution and put significant pressure on the price of our stock. Of the 47,562,096 shares of our common stock that we are registering under this registration statement will be issued to Tangiers in order to obtain the funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Which means we will be required to file another registration statement if we intend to obtain the full amount of funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. If we issue to Tangiers all 47,562,096 shares of our common stock we will only be able to receive approximately $128,418 in net proceeds. The dollar amount of the equity line was based on a number of considerations which include (i) the Company’s capital requirements; (ii) the Company’s then share price and then number of shares outstanding; and (iii) Tangiers’ ability to purchase shares in an amount required to provide capital to the Company.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement Tangiers contractually agrees not to engage in any short sales of our stock and to our knowledge Tangiers has not engaged in any short sales or any other hedging activities related to our stock.

Tangiers was formed is a Delaware limited partnership. Tangiers is a domestic hedge fund in the business of investing in and financing public companies. Tangiers does not intend to make a market in our stock or to otherwise engage in stabilizing or other transactions intended to help support the stock price. Prospective investors should take these factors into consideration before purchasing our common stock.

Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of our common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling stockholders are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain states the shares of our common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares of our common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. If any of these other expenses exists, we expect the selling stockholders to pay these expenses. We have agreed to indemnify Tangiers and its controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $50,000, as well as retention of 10% of the net proceeds received under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The offering expenses are estimated as follows: a SEC registration fee of $27.12, accounting fees of $5,000 and legal fees of $35,000. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling



11



  


stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The selling stockholders are subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its regulations, including, Regulation M. Under Registration M, the selling stockholders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such selling stockholders are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S-K and as stated in Part II of this Registration Statement, the Company must file a post-effective amendment to the accompanying Registration Statement once informed of a material change from the information set forth with respect to the Plan of Distribution.

OTC Bulletin Board Considerations

The OTC Bulletin Board is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Although the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards, the OTC Bulletin Board has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. The FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a company. The only requirement for inclusion in the OTC Bulletin Board is that the issuer be current in its reporting requirements with the SEC.

Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade OTC Bulletin Board securities. Investors do not have direct access to the bulletin board service. For bulletin board securities, there only has to be one market maker.

Bulletin board transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the bulletin board, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders – an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price – it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and getting execution.

Because bulletin board stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

General

The following description of our capital stock and the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, each as amended, is only a summary.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 950,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share.  As of November 25, 2008, there were 301,982,188 outstanding shares of common stock.  We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock but to date we have not issued any shares of preferred stock.  Set forth below is a description of certain provisions relating to our capital stock.

Common Stock

Each outstanding share of common stock has one vote on all matters requiring a vote of the stockholders.  There is no right to cumulative voting; thus, the holder of fifty percent or more of the shares outstanding can, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors.  In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, all stockholders are entitled to a pro rata distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.  The holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights with respect to future offerings of shares of common stock.  Holders of common stock are entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by the Board out of the funds legally available therefore.  It is our present intention to retain earnings, if any, for use in its business.  The payment of dividends on the common stock are, therefore, unlikely in the foreseeable future.

Preferred Stock

We have 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, issuable in such series and bearing such voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation and other rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine.  As of November 25, 2008, none of our preferred shares were outstanding.

Dividend Policy

We currently intend to retain any earnings for use in our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future

Anti-Takeover Effects Of Provisions Of The Articles Of Incorporation Authorized And Unissued Stock

The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock are available for future issuance without our stockholders’ approval.  These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes including but not limited to future public or direct offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee incentive plans.  The issuance of such shares may also be used to deter a potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a stockholder that will vote in accordance with the Company’s Board of Directors’ desires.  A takeover may be beneficial to stockholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer stockholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price.

The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of preferred stock may enable the Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management which would render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management.

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES

ACT LIABILITIES

Our Articles of Incorporation include an indemnification provision under which we have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers of from and against certain claims arising from or related to future acts or omissions as a director or officer of the Company.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Cord Blood America, Inc. in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered) we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

Cord Blood America, Inc. is a Florida corporation, which was formed in 1999.  We did not commence business operations until we acquired Cord Partners, Inc., (“Cord Partners”), a Florida corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary, as of March 31, 2004. We are primarily a holding company whose subsidiaries include Cord Partners, CorCell Co. Inc., CorCell Ltd., (“Cord”), CBA Professional Services, Inc. D/B/A BodyCells, Inc. ("BodyCells"), CBA Properties, Inc. ("Properties"), and Career Channel Inc, D/B/A Rainmakers International ("Rain"). We engage in the following business activities:

Cord specializes in providing private cord blood stem cell preservation services to families.

BodyCells is a developmental stage company and intends to be in the business of collecting, processing and preserving peripheral blood and adipose tissue stem cells allowing individuals to privately preserve their stem cells for potential future use in stem cell therapy.

Properties was formed to hold the corporate trademarks and other intellectual property .

Rain specializes in creating direct response television and radio advertising campaigns, including media placement and commercial production.

An additional subsidiary, Family Marketing, Inc. (“Family Marketing”) was sold on September 5, 2006 in a Stock Purchase Agreement with Noah Anderson, the President of Family Marketing and is no longer owned by the Company.

We intend to continue our organic growth through continued improvement of internal processes, expanded print, direct response and internet marketing efforts to facilitate increased prospective customer contact.  Additionally, we will be concentrating our efforts on building additional sales channels through obstetrics and gynecological practices and other healthcare professionals, hospitals and other health care influencers.  We also hope to leverage our growth through mergers and/or acquisitions of other stem cell preservation companies.  We negotiated two acquisitions in 2006, the first, Cyrobank for Oncologic and Reproductive Donors (”Cryobank”) which closed on January 24, 2006 and the second, Corcell’s operating entity on October 13, 2006, and which closed on February 28, 2007.  On August 20, 2007, we completed the acquisition of specific assets from CureSource, Inc. We are currently exploring various acquisition opportunities and will continue to do so.  We intend to continue fund mergers and acquisitions from monies received from debt placements and/or private placements.

In addition to our current plans related to cord blood banking, we will continue to implement various growth strategies at Rain which continues to post increasing profitability.  We will focus on increasing revenues while keeping operating expenses to a minimum.

Industry Background of Cord

Stem cells. The human body is comprised of many types of cells with individual characteristics and specific functions. Cells with a defined or specialized function are referred to as differentiated. Examples of differentiated cells include nerve cells, red blood cells and skin cells. Differentiated cells are replaced and renewed over time from a population of rare, undifferentiated cells known as stem cells. As stem cells grow and proliferate, they are capable of producing both additional stem cells as well as cells that have differentiated to perform a specific function. Stem cell differentiation is prompted by specific cell-to-cell interactions or other molecular signals. These signals trigger a change in the cell’s genetic profile, causing specific genes to become active and others to become inactive. As a result, the cell develops specialized structures, features and functions representative of its differentiated cell type.

There are many types of stem cells in the human body. These stem cells are found in different concentrations and in different locations in the body during a person’s lifetime. Current thinking suggests that each organ and tissue in the body is founded, maintained and possibly rejuvenated to different degrees, on a more or less continual basis, by specific stem cell populations naturally present in the body. Types of stem cells include:

Hematopoietic stem cells.  Hematopoietic, or blood, stem cells reside in the bone marrow, umbilical cord and placenta. They can also be found in an infant’s umbilical cord as well as circulating in very small numbers in the blood. Hematopoietic stem cells generate all other blood and immune system cells in the body.



17



  


Neural stem cells. Neural stem cells can be found in the brain and spinal cord and are capable of differentiating into nerve and brain tissue.

Mesenchymal stem cells.  Mesenchymal stem cells can be found in bone marrow and differentiate into bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, tendon and other connective tissues.

Pancreatic islet stem cells. Pancreatic islet stem cells can be found in the pancreas and differentiate into specialized cells of the pancreas including cells that secrete insulin.

The ability of a stem cell to differentiate into multiple types of cells of a certain tissue is referred to as pluripotency. For example, a hematopoietic stem cell has the ability to differentiate into many types of blood and immune system cells. However, stem cells of one tissue type may also generate specialized cells of another tissue type, a characteristic referred to as plasticity. For example, under specific conditions, hematopoietic stem cells have been shown to generate specialized cells of other systems, including neural, endocrine, skeletal, respiratory and cardiac systems. These characteristics make stem cells highly flexible and very useful for a number of applications, including the potential use as therapeutics.

Cell therapy. Cell therapy is the use of live cells as therapeutic agents to treat disease. This therapy involves the introduction of cells to replace or initiate the production of other cells that are missing or damaged due to disease. Currently, the most common forms of cell therapy include blood and platelet transfusions and bone marrow transplants.

Bone marrow transplantation is a medical procedure in which hematopoietic stem cells are introduced into the body in order to regenerate healthy, functioning bone marrow. In this procedure, stem cells are obtained from a donor through a surgical procedure to remove approximately one liter of bone marrow. The donated bone marrow, including any “captured” stem cells, is then transfused into the patient. Stem cells for transplantation may also be obtained from peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood donations. Sometimes the stem cells used in the procedure are obtained from the patient’s own bone marrow or blood.

Bone marrow transplantation has been successfully employed in the treatment of a variety of cancers and other serious diseases since the 1960s. According to the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry, over 45,000 bone marrow and other hematopoietic (blood) stem cell transplant procedures were performed worldwide in 2002.

The flexibility and plasticity of stem cells has led many researchers to believe that stem cells have tremendous promise in the treatment of diseases other than those currently addressed by stem cell procedures. Researchers have reported progress in the development of new therapies utilizing stem cells for the treatment of cancer, neurological, immunological, genetic, cardiac, pancreatic, liver and degenerative diseases.

Umbilical Cord Blood Banking

The success of current and emerging cell therapies is dependent on the presence of a rich and abundant source of stem cells. Umbilical cord blood has been emerging as an ideal source for these cells. As information about the potential therapeutic value of stem cells has entered the mainstream, and following the first successful cord blood transplant performed in 1988, cord blood collection has grown. In the past decade, several public and private cord blood banks have been established to provide for the collection and preservation of these cells. Public cord blood banks collect and store umbilical cord blood donated by women at the birth of the child. This blood is preserved and made available for a significant fee to anyone who needs it in the future. We do not currently collect or store donated cord blood units. Private, or family, cord blood banks such as Cord, collect and store umbilical cord blood on a fee-for-service basis for families. This blood is preserved and made available to the family in the event the family needs stem cells for a transplant. Stem cells have been successfully recovered from cord blood after at least fifteen years of storage in liquid nitrogen. However, these cells may be able to retain their usefulness at least as long as the normal life span of an individual.

CORD

Services Provided By Cord

Cord’s customers are typically expectant parents who choose to collect and store umbilical cord blood at the birth of their child for potential use in a stem cell transplant at a later date for that child or for another family member.  Through partnering with Bergen Community Regional Blood Center, Cord Partners is able to provide services to collect, test, process and preserve umbilical cord blood.

Private cord blood banking has been growing in acceptance by the medical community and has become increasingly popular with families. For an initial fee of approximately $1,695 and an annual storage fee of approximately $125 for each year thereafter, Cord Partners provides the following services to each customer:

Collection. We provide a kit that contains all of the materials necessary for collecting the newborn’s umbilical cord blood at birth and packaging the unit for transportation. The kit also provides for collecting a maternal blood sample for later testing.

Full-Time Physician and Customer Support. We provide 24-hour consulting services to customers as well as to physicians and labor and delivery personnel, providing any instruction necessary on the collection of the cord blood.



18



  


Transportation.  We manage all logistics for transporting the cord blood unit to our centralized facility immediately following birth. This procedure ensures chain-of-custody control during transportation for maximum security.

Comprehensive Testing. At the laboratory, the cord blood sample is tested for stem cell concentration levels and blood type. The cord blood sample and the maternal blood sample are also tested for infectious diseases. We report these results to both the mother and her doctor.

Cord Blood Preservation. After processing and testing, the cord blood unit is cryogenically frozen in a controlled manner and stored in liquid nitrogen for potential future use. Data indicates that cord blood retains viability and function for at least fifteen years when stored in this manner and theoretically could be maintained at least as long as the normal life span of an individual.

At present, all of our cord blood units are tested, processed and stored at, Bergen Community Regional Blood Center in Paramus, New Jersey.

Explanation of Material Agreements

Blood Bank Service Agreement

Pursuant to our Service Agreement with Bergen Community Regional Blood Center (“Bergen”), the blood center would test all cord blood received from Cord Blood and stores the cord blood in computerized, temperature monitored liquid nitrogen vapor tanks or other suitable storage units. Individual cord blood samples can be retrieved upon request. Bergen would be compensated for its services based upon the number of umbilical cord blood units stored with it by Cord each month.

On August 1, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (“PCT”) for testing, processing and storage of cord blood samples.  Accordingly, the agreement with Berger was terminated. The Company believes this transition from Bergen to PCT will provide additional leverage to operating costs and efficiencies while maintaining the highest of quality standards. Several other blood centers also provide the services currently provided to us by PCT. If our agreement with PCT were to terminate for any reason, we believe that comparable services could be secured from another provider at comparable cost within the contractual notice period. However, we may not be able to secure such terms or secure such terms within such time frame. In such event, we may not be able to continue to provide our cord blood banking services for some period of time or our expenses of storage may increase, or both. This would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Patent License Agreement

PharmaStem Therapeutics holds certain patents relating to the storage, expansion and use of hematopoietic stem cells. In the past two years, PharmaStem has commenced suit against numerous companies involved in cord blood collection and preservation alleging infringement of its patents. In October 2003, after a jury trial, judgment was entered against certain of our competitors and in favor of PharmaStem in one of those suits. In February 2004, PharmaStem commenced suit against Cord Partners and certain of its competitors alleging infringement of its patents. Management of Cord Partners determined to settle, rather than to litigate, this matter. As a result, PharmaStem and Cord Partners entered into a Patent License Agreement in March 2004. Pursuant to the Patent License Agreement, Cord Partners may, on a non-exclusive basis, collect, process and store cord blood utilizing PharmaStem technology and processes covered by its patents for so long as the patents may remain in effect. All of the patents are scheduled to expire in 2010. Cord Partners is obligated under the Patent License Agreement to pay royalties to PharmaStem of 15% of all revenues generated by Cord Partners from the collection and storage of cord blood on and after January 1, 2004. Other than royalties, no amount is payable by Cord Partners to PharmaStem. All litigation between the parties was dismissed and all prior claims were released.

Corcell Acquisition

On October 13, 2006, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Vita34 for the assets of CorCell, Inc., to begin the process of acquiring the business of collection, processing and storage of blood taken from umbilical cord after a child is born. On February 28, 2007, we completed the acquisition. The acquisition related to all rights to possession and custody of all acquired samples owned by CorCell, Inc. and associated with the operations of CorCell, Inc. which is predominantly the current customer base and revenues. The deal also included the purchase of cryogenic freezers and other fixed assets used in this umbilical cord blood samples business. Corcell is not PharmaStem licensed.

In March 2005, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Equity Agreement") with Cornell Capital Partners L.P. ("Cornell") whereby we could sell up to $5,000,000 of our common stock to Cornell at our discretion over a 24-month period. The Equity Agreement and the respective rights and obligations was terminated on December 26, 2005. Prior to termination, the Equity Agreement allowed the Company to sell shares of common stock to the investor group in incremental advances not to exceed $250,000. The shares of common stock issued at each advance were calculated based on 98% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock for the five day period after the request for an advance was received. The investment company also received a 5% fee for each advance. The Equity Agreement called for the issuance of 1,239,029 shares of common stock as a one time commitment fee. Prior to any advances, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a registration statement registering the resale of our securities in accordance with the Equity Agreement.

In connection with the Equity Agreement, weI entered into a placement agency agreement (the "Agent Agreement") with a registered broker-dealer to act as the placement agent for the Company. The Agent Agreement called for a placement agent fee of $10,000 paid by the issuance of 51,626 shares of our common stock.

On April 27, 2005, we issued a promissory note to Cornell in the amount of $350,000. The promissory note accrued interest at a rate of 12% per annum and was due and payable nine months from the date of issuance. On April 28, 2005, $175,000 of the $350,000 loan was funded by Cornell. Pursuant to the terms of the note we issued Cornell a detachable warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The estimated relative fair value of the warrants of approximately $163,000 was recorded as interest expense. In July 2005, Cornell exercised its right to purchase 1,000,000 shares at $0.20 per share.

On June 21, 2005, we issued an Amended and Restated Promissory Note to Cornell in the amount of $600,000 which replaced the Promissory Note dated April 27, 2005 and received $300,000 towards this amended and restated Promissory Note. The Promissory Note accrued interest at 12% per annum. These promissory notes were re-paid with the proceeds of a stock issuance in 2005.

On July 13, 2005 Cornell was issued a promissory note in the amount of $500,000. The principal amount of $500,000 was funded to the Company on July 14, 2005. The promissory note was non-interest bearing unless an event of default occurred. The note was due and payable on or before August 1, 2005. Full payment was made on July 25, 2005 from the proceeds of a stock issuance.

On September 9, 2005, we re-paid $1,360,553 in interest and principal on an outstanding loan with Cornell through the proceeds of issuing 3,568,734 shares of common stock. At December 31, 2005, all of the loans relating to the Equity Agreement had been paid.

On December 26, 2005, we and Cornell amended and restated the $3,500,000 Debentures dated September 9, 2005 and funded the $1,500,000 Debentures pursuant to the Second Closing on December 28, 2005. The securities purchase agreement ("SP Agreement") and the registration rights agreement dated September 9, 2005 were also amended. The amended agreement stated that Cornell would purchase $5,000,000 of secured convertible debentures, which were convertible into shares of our common stock. $3,500,000 was funded as of September 9, 2005, and $1,500,000 was funded on December 28, 2005. The interest rate remains unchanged at 10% per annum and the principal together with accrued but unpaid interest is due on or before December 23, 2008.

The SP Agreement was amended to state that we shall pay Cornell or its designees a non refundable commitment fee of $375,000 (equal to 7.5% of the $5,000,000 Purchase Price), all of which has been paid. It also states we agree to take any and all appropriate action necessary to increase its authorized common stock from 100 million to at least 200 million shares by March 1, 2006. This was approved by the Company's shareholders at its annual meeting on August 31, 2006.

The Investment Registration Rights Agreement that was entered into by the Company and Cornell concurrently with the SP Agreement was amended to state the number of shares to be registered on the initial registration statement to be filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement, is to be 60,000,000 shares underlying the Debentures. The initial registration statement was filed on February 13, 2006. The number of shares to be registered on the second registration statement, to be filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement, to be filed no later than thirty (30) days after we have increased its authorized common stock to at least 200 million shares, are as follows:

Such number of shares of common stock equal to five (5) times the total principal balance of the Convertible Debentures remaining at the time the second registration statement is filed divided by the conversion price in effect at the time the second registration statement is filed.

·

7,000,000 shares underlying the Warrant dated 9/9/05

·

7,285,000 shares underlying the Warrant dated 9/9/05

·

8,285,000 shares underlying the Warrant dated 9/9/05

On June 27, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Cornell. The agreement amends certain terms of the SP Agreement, the registration rights agreement and the pledge and escrow agreement entered into on September 9, 2005. Pursuant to the agreement, the following changes were agreed to by both parties. First, the time for us to increase its authorized common stock to 200 million was postponed to August 18, 2006. Second, the deadline for us to have the second registration statement declared effective by the SEC was postponed to September 30, 2006. Third, we waived the conversion restriction which restricts Cornell from converting any amounts of the outstanding principal of the Debentures at the market conversion price prior to September 9, 2006. Fourth, in the event that we do not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to issue conversion shares upon a conversion of the Debentures, we are authorized to issue to Cornell such number of shares otherwise reserved as pledge shares to Cornell and reduce the number of pledged shares by the amount of such issuance. The number of shares included in the amended registration statement has been reduced to 55,840,448.

On October 13, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Cornell. The agreement adjusts certain terms as a result of such issuances by the Company described below: Secured Convertible Debenture issued on September 9, 2005; Secured Convertible Debenture issued on December 23, 2005; Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued September 9, 2005; Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued September 9, 2005; Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued September 9, 2005; Pursuant to the agreement, the following changes have been agreed to by both parties: The conversion price and the warrant exercise price were reduced to

$0.101 per share.  In addition, Cornell converted $25,000 of its Note in exchange for the Company issuing 299,043 common shares from treasury at a share price of $0.084.

On December 8, 2006, Cornell converted a further $50,000 of its note in exchange for the Company issuing 519,751 common shares from treasury at a share price of $0.0962.

On November 26, 2007, Cornell transferred 60% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest to Enable Growth Partners LP, consisting of $2,337,300 in principal and $544,000 in interest. The $544,000 in accrued and unpaid interest was converted into a portion of newly issued convertible notes (see discussion of Enable Transaction below).

Strategic Working Capital Fund Transaction

On August 2, 2006, we entered into a subscription agreement with Strategic Working Capital Fund, L.P. ("Strategic"). Pursuant to the subscription agreement, we (i) issued to Strategic a Promissory Note bearing interest at the rate of 8% with an aggregate principal amount of $285,000 and (ii) delivered 500,000 unregistered shares of its Common Stock (the "Shares") to Strategic. The Promissory Note is due one year from the date of issuance, unless redeemed prior by Strategic but in any event no earlier than the third month following issuance of the note. The Promissory Note also is subject to acceleration upon an event of default. Pursuant to the subscription agreement, Strategic was granted registration rights for the Shares in the event that the Company  proposes to register any other shares of its common stock.

On December 5, 2006, we issued 1,239,000 restricted common shares in exchange for Strategic providing a three month extension on the promissory note. As of December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance on the note including accrued and unpaid interest was $317,232.

Collections Factoring

On September 5, 2006, we received a $93,000 advance on future credit card sales. Repayment terms on this advance call for the 20% capture of certain credit card sales until the sum of $130,200 has been paid. At December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal balance was $3,050.

Enable Transaction

On November 26, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of $1,931,106.20 principal amount of 0% Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”)to accredited investors in a private placement. The Notes were sold at a 20% discount. A portion of the principal amount of the Notes in the amount of $680,000 was paid by the purchasers by converting $544,000 in interest owed by the Company on outstanding notes. We received gross proceeds of approximately $1,000,000, of which we used $155,000 for financing costs.  As part of the transaction, the Purchasers were also issued warrants (the “Purchaser Warrants”) to purchase 48,277,655 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at the exercise price of $0.037 per share.

The 0% Senior Convertible Notes

The Notes are due on November 26, 2009.  So long as the registration statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement entered into in connection therewith (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) (the “Registration Statement”), is effective, the Company will have the right to prepay, prior to the second year anniversary of the issuance of the Notes, in cash all or a portion of the Notes at 120% of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest to the date of the prepayment.  Beginning on May 26, 2008, and continuing on the same date of each successive month thereafter, the Company shall repay 1/18th of the original principal amount of the Notes either in cash or in Common Stock, at the Company’s option.  If the Company elects to repay the Notes in common stock, the number of shares issued will be based on the lesser of (i) 10% discount onto the weighted average price of the 10 trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the applicable repayment date or (ii) the then conversion price, as adjusted.

The initial conversion price of the Notes is $0.03 per share.  With certain exceptions set forth in the Notes, if the Company issues common stock at a price lower than the conversion price of the Notes, or issues convertible securities with a conversion price lower than the conversion price of the Notes , then the conversion price of the Notes will be reduced to such price.  As a result of the reduction of the Purchase Warrants, the conversion price of the Notes has been reduced to $0.0086, pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Notes.

The Notes contain certain covenants of the Company which the Company must adhere to while the Notes are outstanding, including that:

·

all payments due under the Notes (i) shall rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the issuance date, (ii) shall rank pari passu with all other convertible notes and (iii) shall rank senior to all indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries incurred after the issuance date;

·

the Company and its subsidiaries shall not incur any indebtedness if such indebtedness (including the issuance of debt securities) will result in the ratio at the time of such event(s) to fall below the lesser of (i) 1.0 and (ii) the ratio existing as of the issuance date;

·

the Company shall not enter or incur any liens and shall not permit any subsidiary to incur indebtedness other than permitted indebtedness;



21



  


·

the Company and its subsidiaries shall not make any restricted payments, except for subordinated debt or subsidiaries of the Company may make restricted payments to the Company; and

·

and the Company shall not pay dividends.

·

Defaults under the Notes include the following:

·

If the Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective and such effectiveness lapses;

·

If the Company’s common stock is suspended from trading on its principal trading market;

·

A default under any notes executed by the Company;

·

If the Company fails to pay interest or liquidated damages when due; and

·

If the Company fails to perform any covenant.

If an event of default occurs, the holders of the Notes may require the Company to (i) redeem all or any portion of the Notes (ii) convert any portion of the Notes then held by the holders into shares of common stock, equal to a number of shares of common stock equal to the principal amount outstanding on the Notes divided by 96% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the date of such conversion.  Each portion of the Notes subject to redemption by the Company shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the conversion amount to be redeemed.  During the continuance of an event of default, the Notes shall accrue interest on any unpaid principal amount at an annual rate equal to 12%.

The holders of the Notes shall not have the right to convert the Notes, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

As previously mentioned, we issued the Purchasers warrants to purchase 48,277,655 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.037 per share, which were subsequently reduced to $0.0086.  The Purchaser Warrants may be exercised any time until November 31, 2012.  

The Purchaser Warrant holders may not exercise the Purchaser Warrants for a number of shares of common stock in excess of that number of shares which upon giving effect to such exercise would cause the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by the holder to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock following such exercise, except within 60 days of the expiration of the Warrants.    

In connection with this transaction, we executed a security agreement pursuant to which we granted a security interest and lien on substantially all of our assets.  The lien shall terminate immediately when the Notes and all amounts due in connection with the Notes are satisfied.

In connection with the transaction, the Company paid placement agent fees in the amount of $90,000.   In addition, we issued the placement agents, including their employees and affiliates, an aggregate of 5,833,332 warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) to purchase the Company’s Common Stock. The Broker Warrants have the same terms as the Purchaser Warrants, except that, 2,916,666 of the Broker Warrants have an exercise price of $0.03.   

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we must file a registration statement to register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Purchaser Warrants and conversion of the Notes.  The initial registration statement must be filed by December 28, 2007 and declared effective by January 17, 2008.

·

A Put Option Agreement; and

·

A Subordination Agreement

In the event the Company draws down on the line of credit, it will issue the Debenture, which matures on May 26, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”).  Annual interest on the Debenture is the greater of (i) the sum of 4.00% plus the Prime Rate on such date or (ii) 11.75%.  Interest on the Debenture is payable in arrears (x) prior to the Maturity Date, on the last trading day of the second month immediately succeeding the month in which the first advance is made and on the last trading day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date, (y) in full on the Maturity Date and (z) on demand after the Maturity Date.

In addition, Corcell, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Subordination Agreement in which the Purchasers under the Enable transaction subordinated to Shelter Island any security interest or lien that Purchasers may have in the collateral of Corcell. The security interest of Shelter Island shall at all times be senior to the security interest of the Purchasers.

Family Marketing

Family Marketing specializes in delivering leads generated through various forms of internet advertising to corporate customers in the business of family based products and services. In the summer of 2006, Company management decided to sell this business and to redeploy resources to other areas.  As a result, on September 5, 2006, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Noah Anderson, the President of Family Marketing and at the time the Chief Technology Officer of the Company.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold all assets including customers, websites and related software and trademarks along with liabilities of Family Marketing to Mr. Anderson, in exchange for a credit of $82,500 against receivables that Cord Partners owed Family Marketing and the cancellation of $32,500 in severance compensation to Mr. Anderson (the “Sale”).

Competition

The marketing communications business is highly competitive, with agencies of all sizes and disciplines competing primarily on the basis of reputation and quality of service to attract and retain clients and personnel. Companies such as Integrated Media, Last Second Media, Media Associates, RevShare, Mercury Media, ChoicePoint Precision Marketing and E&M Advertising generally serve large corporations.  We intend to seek a market niche by providing a full level of service quality that users of direct marketing services may not receive from our larger competitors.  Most of our advertising clients are smaller companies that would not typically be sought by the major advertising and marketing companies.

Our customers compete with products of many large and small companies, including well-known global competitors.  We market our customers with advertising, promotions and other vehicles to build awareness of their brands in conjunction with an extensive sales force including direct response advertising.  We believe this combination provides the most efficient method of marketing for these types of products.  We believe that we gain a certain level of competitive advantage by utilizing cost savings from our direct response advertising sector for multiple customers.

Government Regulation

The Federal Trade Commission establishes and enforces various regulations put in place to ensure fair advertising. Because we are not marketing our own products, and only buying media for other customer products, our liabilities under such practices are decreased and we protect against advertising any product that does not meet the highest standards of the FTC guidelines.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

Currently Rain is dependent on a few large customers, including Tax, Inc., Debt Relief USA, Merit Financial and Mobile Sidewalk.

Employees

As of November 25, 2008, we have thirteen employees, all of whom are full time.  Our full time employees include our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and customer service and sales personnel.  We believe our relations with all of our employees are good.

Reports to Security Holders

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, we file annual, quarterly and other reports and information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may read and copy these reports, statements, or other information we file at the SEC's public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington D.C. 20549.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following information should be read in conjunction with our September 30, 2008 consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in the quarterly report and with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the related "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in our annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. We also urge you to review and consider our disclosures describing various risks that may affect our business, which are set forth under the heading "Risk Factors Related to our Business" in our annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Summary and Outlook of the Business

We are an umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation company with a particular focus on the acquisition of customers in need of family based products and services. We also provide television, radio and internet advertising services to businesses that sell family based products and services.

We operate two core businesses. Cord operates the umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation operations, and

Career Channel, Inc. D/B/A Rainmakers International ("Rain") operates the television and radio advertising operations.

Cord

The umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation operations provide umbilical cord blood banking services to expectant parents throughout all 50 United States. Our corporate headquarters are located in Los Angeles, CA. Cord also maintains offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which were the former offices of the CorCell operations and are leased from CorCell, Inc. Cord earns revenue through a one-time enrollment and processing fee, and through an annually recurring storage and maintenance fee. Cord blood testing, processing, and storage is conducted by our outsourced laboratory partner, formerly Bergen Community Regional Blood Services, located in Paramus, New Jersey. On August 1, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, (PCT) for testing, processing and storage of cord blood samples.  The Company believes this transition from Bergen to PCT will provide additional leverage to operating costs and efficiencies while maintaining the highest of quality standards. We provide the following services to each customer. In addition, some storage services are provided by ThermoFisher of Rockville, Maryland.

Rain

Rain, the television, radio, on-hold and motor sports advertising operations, are located in the corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, CA. The offices were relocated from Carlsbad, CA in September 2006. Rain provides advertising and direct marketing customers a range of services.  A majority of Rain's revenues are earned via direct response media buys and per inquiry campaigns.

BodyCells

We are continuing to pursue other growth opportunities by acquisition or internal growth. The development of BodyCells, which is anticipated to facilitate the collecting, processing and preserving of peripheral blood and adipose tissue stem cells allowing individuals to privately preserve their stem cells for potential future use in stem cell therapy, is currently suspended pending the identification of an alternative lab to partner.

Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring net losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.4 million as of September 30, 2008. In addition, we have a working capital deficit of approximately $12.7 million as of September 30, 2008. We had net losses of $5,994,004, an accumulated deficit of approximately $18,000,000 and a working capital deficit of $9,395,262 as of December 31, 2007. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses and the growth of the business, through private placements of its common stock, the issuance of debt and proceeds from the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Shelter Securities Purchase Agreement and the Enable Securities Purchase Agreement. We are continuing to attempt to increase revenues within its core businesses. In addition, we are exploring alternate ways of generating revenues through acquiring other businesses in the stem cell industry.  In June, 2008, the Company announced the signing of a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers Investors, LP, whereby Tangiers may purchase up to $4 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed a registration statement to register certain shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective on November 4, 2008. On January 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No.1 to Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers (the “Amendment”). The removed the Floor Price under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was previously set at $0.01, which meant that if our stock price fell below $0.01 we could not sell our stock to Tangiers in order to receive cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. By removing this limitation we can now sell shares of our common stock to Tangiers if the stock price falls below $0.01. The Amendment also revised the “Maximum Advance Amount” under the Securities Purchase Agreement so that the maximum amount of each advance that the Company could draw under the Securities Purchase Agreement would be limited to the average daily trading volume in dollar amount during the 10 trading days preceding the advance date. No advance will be made in an amount lower



25



  


than the $10,000 or higher than $250,000. Finally, the Amendment eliminated the Company’s right to terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement with 45 days written notice in the event the Company’s stock price remained at an amount equal to 50% of the floor price of $0.01 and remained there for a period of at least 90 days.

This registration statement must be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to us being able to issue those shares to Tangiers so that we may obtain cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. As well, the Company has taken steps to reduce its overall spending through the reduction of headcount and cuts in sales and administrative expenses. The ongoing execution of our business plan is expected to result in operating losses over the next twelve months. There are no assurances that we will be successful in achieving its goals of increasing revenues and reaching profitability.

In view of these conditions, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to meet its financing requirements, and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event we cannot continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

We define critical accounting policies as those that are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require estimates and assumptions based on our judgment of changing market conditions and the performance of our assets and liabilities at any given time. In determining which accounting policies meet this definition, we considered our policies with respect to the valuation of our assets and liabilities and estimates and assumptions used in determining those valuations. We believe the most critical accounting issues that require the most complex and difficult judgments and that are particularly susceptible to significant change to our financial condition and results of operations include the following:

·

determination of the level of allowance for bad debt;

·

deferred revenue; and

·

revenue recognition

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue for Cord consists of payments for enrollment in the program and processing of umbilical cord blood by customers whose samples have not yet been collected, as well as the pro-rata share of annual storage fees for customers whose samples were stored during the year. For Cord customers who have enrolled in the Annual Payment Option, revenue is recognized in the amount of each payment, as received. Deferred revenue for Rain consists of payments for per inquiry leads that have not yet been delivered or media buys that have not yet been placed.

Revenue Recognition

We recognizes revenue under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 104 "Revenue Recognition". Cord provides a combination of products and services to customers. This combination arrangement is evaluated under Emerging Issues Task Force (Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables," ("EITF 00-21"). EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of accounting for arrangements under multiple revenue generating activities. CBAI elected early adoption of EITF 00-21.

We recognize revenue from both enrollment fees and processing fees upon the completion of processing. Storage fees are recognized ratably over the contractual storage period, unless the customer enrolls in the Annual Payment Option.

Rain generates revenue from packaged advertising services, including media buying, marketing and advertising production services. Rain's advertising service revenue is recognized when the media ad space is sold and the advertising occurs. Rain's advertising production service revenue is derived through the production of an advertising campaign including, but not limited to, audio and video production, establishment of a target market and the development of an advertising campaign. Rain recognizes revenue generated from packaged advertising services provided to our clients using the "Gross" basis of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent" (EITF 99-19).

Rain's revenue recognition policy involves significant judgments and estimates about the ability to collect. We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history and/or the creditworthiness of our clients' customers, which is based on current published credit ratings, current events and circumstances regarding the business of our client's customer and other factors that we believe are relevant. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we defer revenue recognition until such time as collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. Rain recognizes revenue generated through per inquiry advertising as the inquiry leads are delivered to the customer.

Cost of Services

Costs for Cord are incurred as umbilical cord blood is collected. These costs include the transport of the umbilical cord blood from the hospital to the lab, the labs processing fees, and royalties. Cord expenses costs in the period incurred and does not defer any costs of sales. Costs for Rain include commercial productions costs, lead generation costs and media buys.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding of 232,263,129 and 88,278,103 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Outstanding options to acquire common stock and warrants are not included in the computation of net loss per common share because the effects of inclusion are anti-dilutive.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Cryobank

On January 24, 2006, we completed the acquisition of certain assets from Cryobank for Oncologic and Reproductive Donors, Inc., a New York corporation, for the purchase price of $120,000 in cash and $140,000, or 703,518, unregistered shares of our common stock. The acquisition related to our collecting, testing, processing and preserving umbilical cord blood and included the assets and liabilities associated with approximately 750 umbilical cord blood samples, as well as three cryogenic freezers used for the storage of such umbilical cord blood samples.

CorCell

On February 28, 2007, we completed the acquisition of specific assets from Corcell for the aggregate purchase price of $5,653,707 in cash and restricted common stock of the Company and the assumption of liabilities. The acquisition related to existing customer samples owned by Corcell and the associated operations of Corcell, which predominantly is the current customer base and its related revenues.

On February 28, 2007, and related to this transaction, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with CorCell whereby, the Company (i) issued to CorCell a Promissory Note bearing interest at the rate of 10.5% with an aggregate principal amount of $250,000, due 4 months from the date of issuance, unless redeemed prior thereto by CorCell.  The Promissory Note is subject to acceleration upon an event of default, as defined in the Promissory Note. CorCell was also granted 1,666,667 shares of restricted common stock of the Company as collateral.

On February 28, 2007, and related to this transaction, the Company entered into a Convertible Note with CorCell. Pursuant to the Convertible Note, the Company (i) issued to CorCell a Convertible Note bearing interest at the rate of 9% with an aggregate principal amount of $212,959, due 6 months from the date of issuance, unless redeemed prior by CorCell. The Convertible Note also is subject to acceleration upon an event of default, as defined in the Convertible Note. At the option of CorCell, the Convertible Note may be converted into restricted common stock at $0.101 per share, with possible adjustment.  

CureSource

On Aug 20, 2007, we completed the acquisition of specific assets from CureSource, Inc., for the aggregate purchase price of $106,500  in cash and $10,000 value paid in common restricted shares of the company, for a total purchase price of $116,500. The asset purchase related to the existing customer samples owned by CureSource, Inc. and associated with the operations of CureSource, Inc., which predominantly is the current customer base and revenues.

Results of Operations for the Nine-Months Ended September 30, 2008

Revenue

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our total revenue decreased approximately $2.4 million, or 42% to $3.3 million. Rain’s revenues decreased approximately $1.9 million, or 73%, due to a change in the business model.  Rain is focused on creating an annuity base business with high volume advertising.  Historically, Rain was reliant on a few large advertising contracts, and the risks associated with those.  Understanding that it would be difficult to value a few contracts, Rain made a decision in December of 2007 to focus on low cost, high volume, annuity based advertising.  The result in this change for the first nine months was a loss in revenue.  Cord’s revenues decreased $0.5 million or 15%, to $2.6 million, because of significant cutbacks in marketing and advertising.  Cord remains focused on strategic organic growth and accretive acquisition strategies, which will limit the losses and negative cash flow.  

Cost of Services

Cost of services decreased 43% or by $1.1 million as a result of lower revenues, but Gross Profit increased from 35% of revenues to 54% due to a significantly higher proportion of revenues coming from the higher margin Cord business. The Company anticipates that through the continued growth and expansion of its Cord business, they will increasingly benefit from economies of scale in that business segment.

Administrative and Selling Expenses

Administrative and selling expenses decreased by approximately $0.8 million or 23% from the prior comparative period to $2.8 million. The Company reduced its expenses across the board, due to cash restrictions.  The Company has had to raise additional debt to finance both its acquisitions as well as its operating losses. In addition, these financings resulted in a change in the Company’s derivative liabilities. Consequently, interest, financing costs and changes in derivative liabilities increased from $2.9 million to $4.3 million. All interest charges during the period have been accrued.

Our net loss increased by $1.1 million, or 28% from the prior comparative period.



27



  


Results of Operations for the Three-Months Ended September 30, 2008

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, our total revenue decreased approximately $0.7 million, or 44% to approximately $0.9 million. Rain’s revenues decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 84%, due to a change in the business model.  Rain is focused on creating an annuity base business with high volume advertising.  Historically, Rain was reliant on a few large advertising contracts, and the risks associated with those.  Understanding that it would be difficult to value a few contracts, Rain made a decision in December of 2007 to focus on low cost, high volume, annuity based advertising.  The result in this change for this three-month period was a loss in revenue.  Cord’s revenues decreased $0.4 million, or 30%, to approximately $0.8 million, because of significant cutbacks in marketing and advertising.  Cord remains focused on strategic organic growth and accretive acquisition strategies, which will limit the losses and negative cash flow.  

Cost of Services

Cost of services decreased 32 % or by $0.2 million as a result of the lower revenues. The Company anticipates that through the continued growth and expansion of its Cord business, they will increasingly benefit from economies of scale in that business segment.

Administrative and Selling Expenses

Administrative and selling expenses decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 11% from the prior comparative period to approximately $1.0 million.  The Company has had to raise additional debt to finance both its acquisitions as well as its operating losses. In addition, these financings resulted in a change in the Company’s derivative liabilities. Consequently, interest, financing costs and changes in derivative liabilities increased from $1.0 million to $1.1 million. All interest charges during the period have been accrued.

Our net loss increased by $0.5 million, or 45 % from the prior comparative period

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2006

Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2007, our total revenue increased $2.5 million or 74% to $5.8 million due to two factors: Rain's revenues increased from approximately $2.2 million in 2006 to approximately $2.6 million in 2007, or 20%, as a result of additional marketing and exposure for our Radio and Television Advertising services, which resulted in the addition to our customer base and increased revenue from existing customers. Cord's revenues increased $2.1million or 180% to $3.2 million, primarily due to the Company's acquisition of more umbilical cord samples along with customer lists.

Cost of Services

Cost of services increased by approximately $791,000 as a result of substantially higher revenues, but Gross Profit increased from 8.5% of revenues to 34.0% as economies of scale, especially for the Company's Cord division, start impacting the Company's results. The Company anticipates that through the continued growth and expansion of its Cord business, they will increasingly benefit from economies of scale in that business segment.

Administrative and Selling Expenses

Administrative and selling expenses increased by approximately $2.1 million or 54.2% from the prior comparative period to $5.9 million. With the acquisition of CorCell, the Company has temporarily increased some of its administrative expenses, until it completes its integration plans. These include an increase in capital raising expenses and financial consulting charges and fees of $793,000, loan discounts expensed of $218,000, office, rent and related expenses of $150,000 and increases of $502,000 in depreciation and amortization, a consequence of the acquisition of additional equipment and customer lists. The Company also entered into a consulting arrangement whereby it issued shares in exchange for negotiating credit terms with its trade suppliers. The Company expensed fully these charges, totaling approximately $1.4 million. On the other hand, the cost-cutting measures implemented in 2006 are now being felt for the entire period. These include a decrease in total labor costs of $222,000, a reduction in marketing costs of $339,000,. The Company has had to raise additional debt to finance both its acquisitions as well as its operating losses. Interest costs remained approximately the same, going from $2,113,000 in the year ended December 31, 2006 to $2,083,000 in 2007. All interest charges during the year have been accrued.

Our net loss from continuing operations increased slightly from the comparative period, increasing 5.4% to $5,994,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have experienced net losses of $5.4 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At September 30, 2008, we had $56,599 in cash. We currently collect cash receipts from operations through both of our subsidiaries: Cord and Rain. Cord's cash flows from operations are not currently sufficient to fund operations in combination with its corporate expenses. Because of this shortfall, we have had to obtain additional capital through other sources as discussed in Note 4, Notes and Loans Payable.



28



  


Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through the issuance of common stock and warrants for cash, services and loans. As we expand our operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations and we will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through equity offerings and borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. Financing may not be available, and, if available, it may not be available on acceptable terms. Should we secure such financing, it could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our shareholders. The sale of debt would, among other things, adversely impact our balance sheet, increase our expenses and increase our cash flow requirements. The sale of equity would, among other things, result in dilution to our shareholders. If our cash flows from operations are significantly less than projected, then we would either need to cut back on our budgeted spending, look to outside sources for additional funding or a combination of the two. If we are unable to access sufficient funds when needed, obtain additional external funding or generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our products, we could be forced to curtail or possibly cease operations. On June 27, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers Investors, LP whereby Tangiers may purchase up to $4 million of the Company’s common stock. We have filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register a portion of the shares issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was declared effective on November 4, 2008. On January 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No.1 to Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers (the “Amendment”). The Amendment removed the Floor Price under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was previously set at $0.01, which meant that if our stock price fell below $0.01 we could not sell our stock to Tangiers in order to receive cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement. By removing this limitation we can now sell shares of our common stock to Tangiers if the stock price falls below $0.01. The Amendment also revised the “Maximum Advance Amount” under the Securities Purchase Agreement so that the maximum amount of each advance that the Company could draw under the Securities Purchase Agreement would be limited to the average daily trading volume in dollar amount during the 10 trading days preceding the advance date. No advance will be made in an amount lower than the $10,000 or higher than $250,000. Finally, the Amendment eliminated the Company’s right to terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement with 45 days written notice in the event the Company’s stock price remained at an amount equal to 50% of the floor price of $0.01 and remained there for a period of at least 90 days.

This registration statement must be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to us being able to issue those shares to Tangiers so that we may obtain cash advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 2007

As of December 31, 2007, total assets increased 821% to $6,733,000, compared to $731,000 as of December 31, 2006. Items of significance include an increase in Customer Lists and Customer Contracts of over $4.6 million as a consequence of  the Company's acquisitions, and an increase of approximately $1.2 million of deferred financing costs resulting from the recording of deferred financing costs resulting from the issuance of warrants and convertible debentures on the financing of its acquisition of CorCell

As of December 31, 2007, total liabilities increased 43% to approximately $9.9 million as compared to approximately $6.9 million as of December 31, 2006. Significant items include increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately 109%, to approximately $2.8 million, which is primarily attributable to the Company's purchase of the liabilities of CorCell. There was also an 11% increase in promissory notes payable and related derivative liability, or approximately $566,000 which is primarily as a result of this same acquisition, along with re-financing of its existing debt, new debt of $1,162,000, and issuance of derivative liability for $5,435,000, offset by a reduction in value of $6,885,000.

At December 31, 2007, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $8,942,298. We will continue to carry a deficit until such time, if ever, that we can increase our assets and reduce our significant liabilities which are currently composed of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. While reducing the working capital deficit is our long-term goal, we do not foresee this occurring in the near future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-1, which amended SFAS No. 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under Statement 13. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except those items recognized at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.



29



  


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards (“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for non-vested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities (“EITF 07-3”), which requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities be deferred and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability. EITF 07-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”) and a revision to SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 160 modifies the accounting for non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 141R establishes the measurements in a business combination of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Both of these related statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Currently, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 (“SAB 110”), which expresses the views of the Staff regarding use of a “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB 107, in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R. SAB 110 will allow, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007 when a Company is unable to rely on the historical exercise data.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends SFAS No. 133. The statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Currently, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “ Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets .”  The Position is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and only applies prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. Accounting Principles Board 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement ) (“FSP No. APB 14-1”).  FSP No. APB 14-1 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects an issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.  FSP No. APB 14-1 is effective for us as of January 1, 2009.  Currently, the Company does not expect the adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

The following is a discussion of our program for compensating our named executive officers and directors. Currently, we do not have a compensation committee, and as such, our board of directors is responsible for determining the compensation of our named executive officers.

Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy

The primary goals of our policy of executive compensation are to attract and retain the most talented and dedicated executives possible, to assure that our executives are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with our strategy and competitive practice and to align executives compensation with the achievement of our short- and long-term business objectives.

The board of directors considers a variety of factors in determining compensation of executives, including their particular background and circumstances, such as their training and prior relevant work experience, their success in attracting and retaining savvy and technically proficient managers and employees, increasing our revenues, broadening our product line offerings, managing our costs and otherwise helping to lead our Company through a period of rapid growth.

In the near future, we expect that our board of directors will form a compensation committee charged with the oversight of executive compensation plans, policies and programs of our Company and with the full authority to determine and approve the compensation of our chief executive officer and make recommendations with respect to the compensation of our other executive officers. We expect that our compensation committee will continue to follow the general approach to executive compensation that we have followed to date, rewarding superior individual and company performance with commensurate cash compensation.

Elements of Compensation

Our compensation program for the named executive officers consists primarily of base salary. There is no bonus plan, retirement plan, long-term incentive plan or other such plans.  The Company is a development stage company with limited revenue.  As such we have not yet obtained a consistent revenue stream with which to fund employee salaries and bonus plans.  The base salary we provide is intended to equitably compensate the named executive officers based upon their level of responsibility, complexity and importance of role, leadership and growth potential, and experience.

Base Salary

Our named executive officers receive base salaries commensurate with their roles and responsibilities. Base salaries and subsequent adjustments, if any, are reviewed and approved by our board of directors annually, based on an informal review of relevant market data and each executive’s performance for the prior year, as well as each executive’s experience, expertise and position. The base salaries paid to our named executive officers in 2007 are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Stock-Based Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan  

We provide equity awards as a component of compensation, and we presently.  Our Stock Option Plan permits the granting of stock options to its employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors for up to eight million shares of our common stock. We believe that such awards encourage employees to remain employed by the Company and also to attract persons of exceptional ability to become employees of the Company.

Employment Agreements

On July 16, 2008, CBAI entered into a one-year employment agreement with Matthew L. Schissler (the "Executive Agreement"). Pursuant to his Executive Agreement, Mr. Schissler serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CBAI at an annual salary of $165,000 through July 14, 2009. The Executive Agreement entitles Mr. Schissler to receive a performance bonus of up to 30% of his salary, as well as certain other benefits, including stock options. Mr. Schissler is subject to non-competition and confidentiality requirements. This agreement will automatically be renewed for a period of two years, with an increase in base

salary of 5%. CBAI also entered into a one-year employment agreement with Mr. Joe Vicente. Pursuant to his Agreement, Mr. Vicente serves as Vice President of CBAI at an annual salary of $115,000 through July 14, 2009. The Executive Agreement entitles Mr. Vicente to receive a performance bonus of up to 25% of his salary, as well as certain other benefits, including stock options. Mr. Vicente is subject to non-competition and confidentiality requirements. This agreement will automatically be renewed for a period of two years, with an increase in base salary of 5%.

Retirement Benefits

Currently, we do not provide any company sponsored retirement benefits to any employee, including the named executive officers.

Perquisites

Historically, we have not  provided our named executive officers with any perquisites and other personal benefits. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of our compensation structure, but do believe that perquisites can be useful in attracting, motivating and retaining the executive talent for which we compete. It is expected that our historical practices regarding perquisites will continue and will be subject to periodic review by our by our board of directors.

Compensation of Our Board of Directors

On January 26, 2006 the Company’s board of directors approved a board compensation plan through 2008. Shares issued as compensation for one year of service in 2007 and 2006 are based on the closing stock price of the last business day of 2007 and on the closing stock price on January 25, 2006, respectively, divided by $10,000. Shares issued as compensation for one year of service in 2008 will be based on the closing stock price of the last business day of 2007, divided by $10,000.

Summary Compensation Table

The information included in these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations contained in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CBAI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cord, CorCell Co, CorCell Ltd., BodyCells, Properties and Rain. Significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue for Cord consists of payments for enrollment in the program and processing of umbilical cord blood by customers whose samples have not yet been collected, as well as the pro-rata share of annual storage fees for customers whose samples were stored during the year. Deferred revenue for Rain consists of payments for per inquiry leads that have not yet been delivered or media buys that have not yet been placed.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. At September 30, 2008, the Company adjusted its derivative liability to its fair value, and reflected the decrease in fair value, in its statement of operations, as a reduction of interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

CBAI recognizes revenue under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 104 "Revenue Recognition". Cord provides a combination of products and services to customers. This combination arrangement is evaluated under Emerging Issues Task



41



  


Force (Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables," ("EITF 00-21"). EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of accounting for arrangements under multiple revenue generating activities. CBAI elected early adoption of EITF 00-21.

Cord Blood recognizes revenue from both enrollment fees and processing fees upon the completion of processing. Storage fees are recognized ratably over the contractual storage period, unless the customer enrolls in the Annual Payment Option.

Rain generates revenue from packaged advertising services, including media buying, marketing and advertising production services. Rain's advertising service revenue is recognized when the media ad space is sold and the advertising occurs. Rain's advertising production service revenue is derived through the production of an advertising campaign including, but not limited to, audio and video production, establishment of a target market and the development of an advertising campaign. Rain recognizes revenue generated from packaged advertising services provided to our clients using the "Gross" basis of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent" (EITF 99-19).

Rain's revenue recognition policy involves significant judgments and estimates about the ability to collect. We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history and/or the creditworthiness of our clients' customers, which is based on current published credit ratings, current events and circumstances regarding the business of our client's customer and other factors that we believe are relevant. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we defer revenue recognition until such time as collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. Rain recognizes revenue generated through per inquiry advertising as the inquiry leads are delivered to the customer.

Cost of Services

Costs for Cord are incurred as umbilical cord blood is collected. These costs include the transport of the umbilical cord blood from the hospital to the lab, the labs processing fees, and royalties. Cord expenses costs in the period incurred and does not defer any costs of sales. Costs for Rain include commercial productions costs, lead generation costs and media buys.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding of 232,263,129 and 88,278,103 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Outstanding options to acquire common stock and warrants are not included in the computation of net loss per common share because the effects of inclusion are anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-1, which amended SFAS No. 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under Statement 13. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except those items recognized at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3, to clarify the application of SFAS No. 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards (“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for non-vested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities (“EITF 07-3”), which requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities be deferred and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability. EITF 07-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.



42



  


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”) and a revision to SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 160 modifies the accounting for non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 141R establishes the measurements in a business combination of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Both of these related statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Currently, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 (“SAB 110”), which expresses the views of the Staff regarding use of a “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB 107, in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R. SAB 110 will allow, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007 when a Company is unable to rely on the historical exercise data.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends SFAS No. 133. The statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Currently, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  The Position is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and only applies prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. Accounting Principles Board 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP No. APB 14-1”).  FSP No. APB 14-1 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects an issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.  FSP No. APB 14-1 is effective for us as of January 1, 2009.  The Company is evaluating the impact this change will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Going Concern

CBAI's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. CBAI has experienced recurring net losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.4 million as of September 30, 2008. In addition, CBAI has a working capital deficit of approximately $12.7 million as of September 30, 2008. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about CBAI's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses and the growth of the business, through private placements of its common stock, the issuance of debt and proceeds from the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Shelter Securities Purchase Agreement and the Enable Securities Purchase Agreement. CBAI is continuing to attempt to increase revenues within its core businesses. In addition, CBAI is exploring alternate ways of generating revenues through acquiring other businesses in the stem cell industry.  In June, 2008, the Company announced the signing of a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers Investors, LP, whereby Tangiers may purchase up to $4 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed a registration statement to register certain shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective on November 4, 2008. As well, the Company has taken steps to reduce its overall spending through the reduction of headcount and cuts in sales and administrative expenses. The ongoing execution of CBAI's business plan is expected to result in operating losses over the next twelve months. There are no assurances that CBAI will be successful in achieving its goals of increasing revenues and reaching profitability.

In view of these conditions, CBAI's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to meet its financing requirements, and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event CBAI cannot continue as a going concern.

Reclassification of Expenses

The Company has re-classed some of its expenses in the comparative Consolidated Statement of Operations to conform to the current presentation.

Note  4. Notes and Loans Payable

Shelter Island Opportunity Fund

In February 2007, the company contracted a note payable in the amount of $2,300,000. In connection with the agreement, the note holder was issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company at $0.037 per share. In March 2008, the Company  reduced the conversion price to $0.0086 per share, provided the warrant was exercised in March, 2008. This offer was extended through the end of July, 2008. In May, 2008, Shelter exercised 20,270,270 warrants and received 2,837,238 shares on a cashless basis.

Enable Capital

In November 2007, the Company contracted a 0% convertible debenture with Enable Capital for a face amount of $1,931,106, and net proceeds of $1,369,000. The note is convertible at $0.03 per share or 96% of market price as defined. The Company used $544,000 of the proceeds to pay down its accrued interest to Cornell. In connection with this convertible note, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 48,277,655 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.037 per share. In March 2008, the Company offered the warrant holders to reduce the conversion price to $0.0086 per share, if exercised in March, 2008. This offer was extended through the end of July, 2008. Warrant holders exercised warrants and purchased 30,370,553 shares at $0.0086. This was treated as an inducement to exercise, and it resulted in a gain of $150,007, as the value of the related derivative liability was higher than the value of the modified warrants at the date of exercise. On May 30, 2008, due to anti-dilution provisions, the Company issued warrants to Enable Capital to purchase 9,655,531 Common Shares at $0.0086 per share, leaving Enable with a balance of 27,562,663 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at September 30, 2008.

Stock Option Plan

The Company's Stock Option Plan permits the granting of stock options to its employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors for up to 20.0 million shares of its common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Cord Blood America, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cord Blood America, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cord Blood America, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained recurring operating losses, continues to consume cash in operating activities, and has insufficient working capital and an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2007.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CORD BLOOD AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2007

Note 1.

Organization and Description of Business

Cord Blood America, Inc. ("CBAI"), formerly D&A Lending, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Florida on October 12, 1999. CBAI's headquarters are located in Los Angeles, California. CBAI is primarily a holding company whose subsidiaries include Cord Partners, Inc. (“Cord”), CorCell Co. Inc., CorCell Ltd., CBA Professional Services, Inc. D/B/A BodyCells, Inc. ("BodyCells"), CBA Properties, Inc. ("Properties"), Career Channel Inc, D/B/A Rainmakers International ("Rain"), and Family Marketing, Inc. ("Family"). CBAI and its subsidiaries engage in the following business activities:

·

Cord specializes in providing private cord blood stem cell preservation services to families.

·

BodyCells is a developmental stage company and intends to be in the business of collecting, processing and preserving peripheral blood and adipose tissue stem cells allowing individuals to privately preserve their stem cells for potential future use in stem cell therapy.

·

Properties was formed to hold the corporate trademarks and other intellectual property of CBAI.

·

Rain specializes in creating direct response television, radio, on-hold and motor sports advertising campaigns, including media placement and commercial production.

·

Family specialized in delivering leads through internet based lead generation to corporate customers in the business of family based products and services. Family was disposed of through a sale, which was completed in the third quarter of 2006. (see Note 14, Discontinued Operations)

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary in the event CBAI cannot continue as a going concern. CBAI continues to search for additional capital to allow it to focus on successfully reaching its objectives and being profitable.

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements of Cord Blood America, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. CBAI has experienced recurring net losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $18 million as of December 31, 2007. In addition, CBAI has consumed cash in its operating activities of approximately $1,262,377 for the year ending December 31, 2007 and has a working capital deficit of $8,942,298 as of December 31, 2007. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about CBAI's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses and the growth of the business, through private placements of its common stock, the issuance of debt and proceeds from the Equity Distribution Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement, and expects to continue to raise funds through debt and equity instruments. CBAI is continuing to attempt to increase revenues within its core businesses. In addition, CBAI is exploring alternate ways of generating revenues through acquiring other businesses in the stem cell industry. In addition, the Company has taken steps to reduce its overall spending through the reduction of headcount. The ongoing execution of CBAI's business plan is expected to result in operating losses over the next twelve months. There are no assurances that CBAI will be successful in achieving its goals of increasing revenues and reaching profitability.

In view of these conditions, CBAI's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to meet its financing requirements, and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event CBAI cannot continue as a going concern.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CBAI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cord, BodyCells, Properties, Rain and Family. Significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.



55



  


Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of the amounts due for the processing and storage of umbilical cord blood, advertising, commercial production and internet lead generation. Accounts receivable relating to deferred revenues are netted against deferred revenues for presentation purposes. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based upon historical experience. The allowance is reviewed periodically and adjusted for accounts deemed uncollectible by management. Amounts are written off when all collection efforts have failed.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while major replacement and improvements are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the related asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with any gain or loss credited or charged to income upon disposition.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include primarily customer contracts and relationships as part of the acquisition of the CorCell and CureSource assets in 2007 (Note 3). Intangible assets are stated at cost. Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the sum of the years’ digits method, over an estimated useful life of 18 years. Estimated amortization expense for the next five years is as follows: 2008:$439,000; 2009: $413,000; 2010: $387,000; 2011: $361,000; 2012: $335,000.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue for Cord consists of payments for enrollment in the program and processing of umbilical cord blood by customers whose samples have not yet been collected, as well as the pro-rata share of annual storage fees for customers whose samples were stored during the year. Deferred revenue for Rain consists of payments for per inquiry leads that have not yet been delivered or media buys that have not yet been placed.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measure at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. At December 31, 2007, the Company adjusted its derivative liability to its fair value, and reflected the increase in fair value of $4,663,638 in its statement of operations, as a reduction of interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

CBAI recognizes revenue under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 104 "Revenue Recognition". Cord provides a combination of products and services to customers. This combination arrangement is evaluated under Emerging Issues Task Force (Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables," ("EITF 00-21"). EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of accounting for arrangements under multiple revenue generating activities.

Cord recognizes revenue from both enrollment fees and processing fees upon the completion of processing while storage fees are recognized ratably over the contractual storage period.

Rain generates revenue from packaged advertising services, including media buying, on-hold and motor sports advertising campaigns, marketing and advertising production services. Rain's advertising service revenue is recognized when the media ad space is sold and the advertising occurs. Rain's advertising production service revenue is derived through the production of an advertising campaign including, but not limited to, audio and video production, establishment of a target market and the development of an advertising campaign. Rain recognizes revenue generated from packaged advertising services provided to our clients using the "Gross" basis of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent", (“EITF 99-19”).

Rain's revenue recognition policy involves significant judgments and estimates about the ability to collect. We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history and/or the creditworthiness of our clients'



56



  


customers, which is based on current published credit ratings, current events and circumstances regarding the business of our client's customer and other factors that we believe are relevant. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we defer revenue recognition until such time as collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. Rain recognizes revenue generated through per inquiry advertising as the per inquiry leads are delivered to the customer.

Cost of Services

Costs for Cord are incurred as umbilical cord blood is collected. These costs include the transportation of the umbilical cord blood from the hospital to the lab, the labs’ processing fees, and royalties. Cord expenses costs in the period incurred and does not defer any costs of sales. Costs for Rain include commercial productions costs, lead generation costs and media buys.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expense totaled approximately $425,000 and $756,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the portion of tax benefits that more likely than not will not be realized. There was a valuation allowance equal to 100% of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007.

Accounting for Stock Option Plan

The Company’s share-based employee compensation plans are described in Note 10. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (Revised 2004)” (“123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, including employee stock options. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under APB 25 and SFAS 123, for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB 107 relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding of 141,940,070 and 41,469,655 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Outstanding options to acquire common stock and warrants are not included in the computation of net loss per common share because the effects of inclusion are anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Risk

Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of customers or counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet their contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions described below.

Relationships and agreements which could potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of the use of one source for the processing and storage of all umbilical cord blood and one source for the development and maintenance of a website. The Company believes that alternative sources are available for each of these concentrations.

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk could consist of cash balances maintained in excess of federal depositary insurance limits. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. To date, the Company has not experienced any such losses, and believes it is not exposed to any credit risk related to such balances.

Reclassification

Certain numbers in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Note 3.

Acquisitions

Acquisition of CorCell

On October 13, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with CorCell, Inc. under which CBAI started the process of acquiring the CorCell Business of collection, processing and storage of blood taken from umbilical cord after a child is born .

Following are the significant terms of the above notes and loans payable:

Cornell

On June 27, 2006, CBAI entered into an agreement with Cornell. The agreement amends certain terms of the SP Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Pledge and Escrow Agreement entered into on September 9, 2005. Pursuant to the agreement, the following changes were agreed to by both parties. First, the time for CBAI to increase its authorized common stock to 200 million was extended to August 18, 2006. Second, the deadline for CBAI to have the second Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC was extended to September 30, 2006. Third, CBAI waived the Conversion Restriction which restricts Cornell from converting any amounts of the outstanding principal of the Debentures at the Market Conversion Price prior to September 9, 2006. Fourth, in the event that CBAI does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to issue Conversion Shares upon a conversion of the Debentures, CBAI is thereby authorized to issue to Cornell such number of shares otherwise reserved as Pledge Shares to Cornell and reduce the number of Pledged Shares by the amount of such issuance. The number of shares included in the amended registration statement has been reduced to 55,840,448.

On October 13, 2006, CBAI entered into an agreement with Cornell. The agreement adjusts certain terms as a result of such issuances by the company described below: Secured Convertible Debenture issued on September 9, 2005; Secured Convertible Debenture issued on December 23, 2005; Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued September 9, 2005; Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued September 9, 2005; Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued September 9, 2005; Pursuant to the agreement, the following changes have been agreed to by both parties: The Conversion Price (as defined in the Convertible Debentures) shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3(c)(iv) of the convertible debentures such that the Conversion Price in effect from this date forward shall be equal to $0.101 per share. The conversion price calculated as a 4% discount based on the stock price remained unchanged. The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (each as defined in the warrants) shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Warrant such that the Warrant Exercise Price in effect from this date forward shall be equal to $0.101 per share. All other terms and conditions of the referenced agreements remain unchanged. In addition, Cornell converted $25,000 of its Note in exchange for CBAI issuing 299,043 common shares from treasury at a share price of $0.084.

On December 8, 2006, Cornell converted a further $50,000 of its Note in exchange for CBAI issuing 519,751 common shares from treasury at a share price of $0.0962. At December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on the Note payable to Cornell was $4,925,000.

During 2007, Cornell converted $822,916 of its debt into 13,339,629 shares of common stock of the Company, and was repaid $250,000 in shares of common stock..

Liquidated damages in the amount of $1,227,300 have been accrued for an event of default under the terms of this note, and are recorded as accrued expenses at December 31, 2007.

The conversion feature of these debentures is recorded as a derivative liability under EITF 00-19.  The Black Scholes value of the conversion feature was $284,340 at December 31, 2007.



59



  


Warrants issued in connection with these debentures were also considered derivative liabilities, but with the issuance of  FSP 00-19-2, and the sequencing of awards under paragraph 11 of EITF 00-19, these warrants no longer qualified as derivative liabilities, and were reclassified to retained earnings at January 1, 2007.

Strategic

On August 2, 2006, CBAI entered into a Subscription Agreement with Strategic Working Capital Fund, L.P. ("Strategic"). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, CBAI (i) issued to Strategic a Promissory Note bearing interest at the rate of 8% with an aggregate principal amount of $285,000 and (ii) delivered 500,000 unregistered shares of its Common Stock (the "Shares") to Strategic. The Promissory Note is due one year from the date of issuance, unless redeemed prior by Strategic but in any event no earlier than the third month following issuance of the note. The Promissory Note also is subject to acceleration upon an event of default, as defined in the Note. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Strategic was granted registration rights for the Shares in the event that CBAI proposes to register any other shares of its common stock.

On December 5, 2006, CBAI issued 1,239,000 restricted common shares in exchange for Strategic providing a three month extension on the promissory note.  As of December 31, 2007 the outstanding balance on the note including accrued and unpaid interest was $317,232.

Advance on Credit Card Sales

On September 5, 2006, Cord received a $93,000 advance on future credit card sales. Repayment terms on this advance call for the 20% capture of certain credit card sales until the sum of $130,200 has been paid. At December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal balance was $3,050.

Convertible Note Payable – Enable

In November 2007, the Company contracted a 0% convertible debenture with Enable Capital for a face amount of $1,931,106, and net proceeds of $1,369,000.  The note is convertible at $0.03 per share or 96% of market price as defined. The Company used $544,000 of the proceeds to pay down its accrued interest to Cornell.  In connection with this convertible note, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 48,277,655 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.037 per share.  The Company performed an analysis under EITF 00-19, and found that the conversion feature and the related warrants do not qualify as derivative liabilities.  Therefore, the Company applied the provisions of APB 14, EITF 98-5 and 00-27.  $602,361 of the proceeds was allocated to the debt, while $830,717 was allocated to the warrants.    The value of the warrants was established using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 5 years; stock volatility of 163%, risk-free interest rate of 3.23%, and no dividend.  With the consideration of the loan discount of $1,328,745, the interest rate is 72%.  In connection with this financing, warrants to purchase 5,833,334 shares of stock were issued to Midtown Partners.  These warrants were valued at $219,175, and were recorded as deferred financing costs.

Note 10.

Stock Option Plan

The Company's Stock Option Plan permits the granting of stock options to its employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors for up to 8.0 million shares of its common stock. The Company believes that such awards encourage employees to remain employed by the Company and also to attract persons of exceptional ability to become employees of the Company.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and non-employee directors.

The fair value of stock options granted in 2007 was $8,275, based on the following assumptions:

  

 

2007

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

 

4.68

%

Expected life

 

6 years

 

Dividend yield

 

 

0.00

%

Volatility

 

 

276.80

%


The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on the historical daily volatility of its publicly traded stock. For option grants issued during the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company used a calculated volatility for each grant. The Company’s computation of expected life were estimated using the simplified method provided for under Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (“SAB 107”), which averages the contractual term of the Company’s options of ten years with the average vesting term of three years for an average of six years. In December 2007, Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 (“SAB 110”) was released which permits the continued use of the simplified method when a Company is unable to rely on the historical exercise data. Since the Company is still in its relatively early stages, it will continue with the simplified method. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and presently has no intention of paying cash dividends. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is equal to the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of the grant for instruments with a similar expected life.



62



  


The estimated fair value of our stock-based awards, less expected forfeitures, is amortized over the awards’ vesting period. Options granted since 2005 are either vested immediately or had a one year vesting period.

The Notes are due on November 26, 2009. The initial conversion price of the Notes is $0.03 per share.  

In connection with the transaction, the Company paid placement agent fees in the amount of $90,000.   In addition, we issued the placement agents, including their employees and affiliates, 5,833,332 warrants to purchase our common stock. The Broker Warrants have the same terms as the warrants described above, except that, 2,916,667 of the Broker Warrants have an exercise price of $0.03.   

On November 26, 2007 we  issued Shelter Island  warrants to purchase 20,270,270 shares of the company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.037 per share.  The Shelter Island warrants may be exercised any time until November 31, 2012.   This was for a $1 million debt line we signed with them on the same date.

The Company has also granted Shelter Island a put option to which Shelter Island can sell the shares issued to Shelter Island back to the Company for the product of (i) the aggregate of all advances made (whether or not they are then outstanding) by Shelter Island to Corcell under the Debenture, and (ii) 60.00% (or, on a per put share basis, such product divided by the total number of put shares) at any time during the earlier to occur of the following put option exercise periods: (a) the ten business day period commencing on the first anniversary of the closing date, or (b) the ten business day period commencing on the date which is nine months after the date that the registration statement for the registration of the issued shares is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2006

On August 2, 2006, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with Strategic Working Capital Fund, L.P. ("Strategic"). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, CBAI (i) issued to Strategic a Promissory Note bearing interest at the rate of 8% with an aggregate principal amount of $285,000 and (ii) delivered 500,000 unregistered shares of its Common Stock (the "Shares") to Strategic. The Promissory Note is due one year from the date of issuance, unless redeemed prior by Strategic but in any event no earlier than the third month following issuance of the note. The Promissory Note also is subject to acceleration upon an event of default, as defined in the Note. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Strategic was granted registration rights for the Shares in the event that CBAI proposes to register any other shares of its common stock.

On December 5, 2006, we issued 1,239,000 restricted common shares in exchange for Strategic providing a three month extension on the promissory note.  As of December 31, 2007 the outstanding balance on the note including accrued and unpaid interest was $317,232.

In instances described above where we issued securities in reliance upon Regulation D, we relied upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. These stockholders who received the securities in such instances made representations that (a) the stockholder is acquiring the securities for his, her or its own account for investment and not for the account of any other person and not with a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (b) the stockholder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (c) the stockholder has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in us, (d) the stockholder had access to all of our documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment and was provided the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers regarding the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which we possessed or were able to acquire without unreasonable effort and expense, and (e) the stockholder has no need for the liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the complete loss of such investment. Management made the determination that the investors in instances where we relied on Regulation D are accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D) based upon management’s inquiry into their sophistication and net worth. In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for securities issued in reliance upon Regulation D.



66



  


In instances described above where we indicate that we relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing securities, our reliance was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there were only a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by us; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the stock took place directly between the offeree and us.

Item 17.

Undertakings

(A)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment of the Registration Statement) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to the purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(B)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
