Cryoport, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Management’s Representation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Cryoport, Inc. (the “Company”, “Cryoport”, “our” or “we”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

On May 12, 2015, our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split by a ratio of 1-for-12.  The reverse stock split was effective on May 19, 2015.  All share and per share data in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split of our common stock.

Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto other than as disclosed in the accompanying notes.

Note 2. Nature of the Business

Cryoport is the premier provider of cryogenic logistics solutions to the life sciences industry through its purpose-built proprietary packaging, information technology and specialized cold chain logistics expertise. The Company provides leading edge logistics solutions for biologic materials, such as immunotherapies, stem cells, CAR-T cells and reproductive cells for clients worldwide. Leading global companies, such as FedEx, UPS and DHL have each separately selected Cryoport as the preferred cryogenic logistics provider for time- and temperature-sensitive biological material.  Cryoport actively supports points-of-care, contract research organizations, central laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, contract manufacturers and university researchers.

The Company is a Nevada corporation and its common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market exchange under the ticker symbol “CYRX.”

Going Concern

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have sustained operating losses since our inception and have used substantial amounts of working capital in our operations. At December 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $109.4 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, we used cash in operations of $4.3 million and had a net loss of $7.1 million.

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses from costs related to the commercialization and expansion of our Cryoport Express^® Solutions and do not expect that revenues from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements in the near term. We believe that our cash resources at December 31, 2015, together with the revenues generated from our services will be sufficient to sustain our planned operations into the second quarter of fiscal year 2017; however, we must obtain additional capital to fund operations thereafter and for the achievement of sustained profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently working on funding alternatives in order to secure sufficient operating capital to allow us to continue to operate as a going concern.

The level of future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the success of our commercialization efforts and the level of customer adoption of our Cryoport Express^® Solutions as well as our ability to establish additional collaborative arrangements. We cannot make any assurances that the sales ramp will lead to achievement of sustained profitable operations or that any additional financing will be completed on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or at all. Management’s inability to successfully achieve significant revenue increases or to complete any other financing will adversely impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cryoport, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cryoport Systems, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts. The Company’s significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets, allowance for inventory obsolescence, deferred taxes and their accompanying valuations, and valuation of equity instruments and conversion features.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, related-party notes payable, notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying value for all such instruments approximates fair value at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 due to their short-term nature. The difference between the fair value and recorded values of the related-party notes payable is not significant.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Customers

The Company grants commercial trade credit to customers under established terms and conditions within the U.S. and to a limited number of international customers and does not require collateral. Revenues from international customers are generally secured by advance payments except for a limited number of established foreign customers. The Company generally requires advance or credit card payments for initial revenues from new customers, who have not received credit approval. The Company’s ability to collect receivables is affected by customer circumstances, economic fluctuations in the respective geographic areas and the industries served by the Company. Reserves for uncollectible amounts are provided based on past experience and a specific analysis of the respective accounts, which management believes is sufficient. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 are net of reserves for doubtful accounts of $40,600 and $12,200, respectively. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts.

The majority of the Company’s customers are in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, animal health and life science industries. Consequently, there is a concentration of accounts receivable within these industries, which is subject to normal credit risk. At December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, there was one customer that accounted for 10.4% and 14.6%, respectively, of net accounts receivable. No other single customer owed us more than 10% of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015.

The Company has revenue from foreign customers primarily in the Europe, Japan, Canada, India and Australia regions. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had revenues from foreign customers of approximately $631,400 and $418,800, respectively, which constituted approximately 14.6% and 15.3% of total revenues, respectively.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was one customer that accounted for 14.5% and 25.0% of total revenues, respectively.

7

Inventories

The Company’s inventories consist of packaging materials and accessories sold to customers. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or current estimated market value. Cost is determined using the standard cost method which approximates the first-in, first-to-expire method. Inventories are reviewed periodically for slow-moving or obsolete status. The Company writes down the carrying value of its inventories to reflect situations in which the cost of inventories is not expected to be recovered. Once established, write-downs of inventories are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the obsolete or excess inventories. Raw materials and finished goods include material costs less reserves for obsolete or excess inventories. The Company evaluates the current level of inventories considering historical trends and other factors, and based on such evaluation, records adjustments to reflect inventories at its net realizable value. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand, competition or other relevant factors differ from expectations. These estimates require us to make assessments about future demand for the Company’s products in order to categorize the status of such inventory items as slow-moving, obsolete or in excess-of-need. These estimates are subject to the ongoing accuracy of the Company’s forecasts of market conditions, industry trends, competition and other factors.

Property and Equipment

The Company provides shipping packaging (“shipper”) to its customers and charges a fee in exchange for the use of the shipper. The Company’s arrangements are similar to the accounting standard for leases since they convey the right to use the container over a period of time. The Company retains the title to the shippers and provides its customers the use of the shipper for a specific shipping cycle. At the culmination of the customer’s shipping cycle, the shipper is returned to the Company. As a result, the Company classifies the shippers as property and equipment for the per-use shipper program.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Cryogenic shippers are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three years. Software, equipment and furniture are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (generally three to seven years) and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Equipment acquired under capital leases is amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets or term of the lease, whichever is shorter and included in depreciation and amortization expense.

Betterments, renewals and extraordinary repairs that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition is recognized in current operations.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of patents and trademarks and software development costs. The Company capitalizes costs of obtaining patents and trademarks, which are amortized, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of five years once the patent or trademark has been issued. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the Company wrote off patents aggregating $98,100 to research and development expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to software developed for internal use. Software development costs incurred during the preliminary or maintenance project stages are expensed as incurred, while costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is five years. Capitalized costs include purchased materials and costs of services including the valuation of warrants issued to consultants.

Long-lived Assets

If indicators of impairment exist, we assess the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows. If impairment is indicated, we measure the amount of such impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value. We believe the future cash flows to be received from the long-lived assets will exceed the assets’ carrying value, and accordingly, we have not recognized any impairment losses through December 31, 2015.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes payable and equity financings. Deferred financing costs related to the issuance of debt are being amortized over the term of the financing instrument using the effective interest method while offering costs from equity financings are netted against the gross proceeds received from the equity financings.

8

Conversion Features

If a conversion feature of convertible debt is not accounted for as a derivative instrument and provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount. The convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method.

Preferred stock is convertible to common stock at a rate of conversion that is below market value and, therefore, this feature is characterized as a BCF. The Company records this BCF as a discount to the preferred stock and accretes the discount to retained earnings as a deemed dividend through the earliest conversion date or upon issuance if the preferred stock can be immediately converted.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provision of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, or ASC 740. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, there were no unrecognized tax benefits included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rates.

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 in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. Based on the weight of available evidence, the Company’s management has determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. The Company’s income tax provision consists of state minimum taxes.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years before 2011 and for California franchise and income tax examinations for years before 2010. However, to the extent allowed by law, the taxing authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss carry forward amount. The Company is not currently under examination by U.S. federal or state jurisdictions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company provides shipping containers to its customers and charges a fee in exchange for the use of the shipper. The Company’s arrangements are similar to the accounting standard for leases since they convey the right to use the shippers over a period of time. The Company retains title to the shipper and provides its customers the use of the shipper for a specified shipping cycle. At the culmination of the customer’s shipping cycle, the shipper is returned to the Company.

The Company recognizes revenue for the use of the shipper once the shipper has been delivered to the end user of the enclosed materials, and at the time that collectability of the related fees is reasonably certain. Revenue is recorded net of discounts and allowances.

The Company also provides logistics support and management services to some customers, which may include onsite logistics personnel. Revenue is recognized for these services as services are rendered and at the time that collectability is reasonably certain.

Accounting for Shipping and Handling Revenue, Fees and Costs

The Company classifies amounts billed for shipping and handling as revenue. Shipping and handling fees and costs are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development Expenses

Expenditures relating to research and development are expensed in the period incurred.

9

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees and directors in accordance with stock-based payment accounting guidance which requires all stock-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options and warrants, to be recognized based upon their fair values. The fair value of stock-based awards is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The determination of fair value using Black-Scholes is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.

Since stock-based compensation is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest, the Company has applied an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates will be revised, if necessary, in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. The estimated forfeiture rates at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 were zero as the Company has not had a significant history of forfeitures and does not expect significant forfeitures in the future.

Cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options or warrants are classified as financing cash flows. Due to the Company’s loss position, there were no such tax benefits during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are discussed further in Note 8.

Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

Issuances of the Company’s common stock for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

We calculate basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented, and adjust the amount of net income (loss) used in this calculation for deemed preferred stock dividends and cumulative preferred stock dividends, whether they are earned or not during the period. In periods of a net loss position, basic and diluted weighted average shares are the same. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to include dilutive stock options, warrants and shares associated with the conversion of convertible debt and convertible preferred stock outstanding during the periods. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company had cumulative, undeclared, dividends that have not been accrued related to its preferred stock of $992,600 and $305,300, respectively. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, undeclared dividends totaling $239,400 and $687,300 and $95,300 and $194,900, respectively, were added to the net loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations in order to calculate net loss per share attributable to common stockholders.

The following shows the amounts used in computing net loss per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Segment Reporting

We currently operate in one reportable segment.

Fair Value Measurements

We measure fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include the following:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.

We have no assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015.

Foreign Currency Translation

We record foreign currency transactions at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction with resultant gains and losses being included in results of operations. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been significant for any of the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date by one year for public entities and others. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Management has not selected a transition method and is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The amendments in this update apply to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. They do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. Other than the change in the subsequent measurement guidance from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value for inventory within the scope of this update, there are no other substantive changes to the guidance on measurement of inventory. The amendments in this update more closely align the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-11 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early application is permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. Current GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update will align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities with IFRS and are effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-17 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company had aggregate principal balances of $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in outstanding unsecured indebtedness owed to five related parties, including four former members of the Board of Directors, representing working capital advances made to the Company from February 2001 through March 2005.

Related-Party Notes Payable

In March 2015, we entered into definitive agreements relating to the exchange or amendment of the notes evidencing such working capital advances. Three of the notes issued to Patrick Mullins, M.D., Maryl Petreccia and Jeffrey Dell, M.D., which as of December 31, 2015 had outstanding principal balances of $448,200, $266,700 and $208,900, respectively, were amended and restated, and the holders received warrants to purchase 37,347, 22,224, and 17,412 shares, respectively, of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, exercisable on March 2, 2015 and expiring on March 1, 2020, and warrants to purchase 834, 417, and 417 shares, respectively, of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, exercisable on March 2, 2015 and expiring on March 1, 2020, to reimburse the three note holders for any fees or other expenses incurred in connection with this transaction. The notes, as amended and restated, require interest payments on a calendar quarterly basis and payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the maturity date, which is the earlier to occur of (i) March 1, 2016, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or (iii) the merger, consolidation or other similar reorganization of the Company or an affiliate of our Company with another entity. Under the terms of such notes, upon the closing of the public offering in July 2015 (see Note 7), the holder had the option to convert into the securities issued in such offering at a twenty percent (20%) discount to the price per unit issued by the Company in such offering. The holders elected not to convert into such securities issued by the Company.

12

One note issued to Raymond Takahashi, M.D., was exchanged for (i) a new promissory note with an original principal amount equal to the outstanding principal and interest of the original note, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 1,490 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, exercisable on February 20, 2015 and expiring on February 19, 2018. The new note, which as of December 31, 2015 had an outstanding principal balance of $35,800, requires interest payments on a calendar quarterly basis and payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the maturity date, which is March 1, 2016. Under the terms of such note, upon the closing of the public offering in July 2015 (see Note 7) the holder had the option to convert into the securities issued in such offering at a twenty percent (20%) discount to the price per unit issued by the Company in such offering. The holder elected not to convert into such securities issued by the Company.

The conversion feature of the related-party notes payable at a 20% discount resulted in a BCF. The fair value of the BCF of $521,100 was recorded as a debt discount upon the resolution of the contingency and it was amortized to interest expense over the conversion term which ended on September 29, 2015.

The relative fair value of the related-party warrants of $280,400 was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method which approximated the effective interest method over the term of the convertible notes. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company amortized $195,600 and $0, respectively, of the debt discount to interest expense for these convertible notes.

 Related-party interest expense under these notes was $43,400 and $23,600 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accrued interest, which is included in related-party notes payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, amounted to $0 and $4,600 as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

One note issued to Marc Grossman, M.D., which as of December 31, 2015 had an outstanding principal balance of $86,500, as amended, now provides for interest at a rate of 6% per annum commencing on March 13, 2015; however, no interest payments will be due if no event of default occurs and if the Company (i) complies with its regular payment obligations, (ii) reimburses the payee for attorneys’ fees in connection with the negotiation of the note amendment, up to a maximum amount of $1,000, on the later of (A) March 13, 2015, or (B) three (3) days after receiving written notice from the payee of the amount of attorneys’ fees incurred by payee, and (iii) the Company immediately pays all unpaid amounts due and payable in full before the earlier of May 1, 2016 or at the same time that payee(s) of any other promissory note(s) with the Company that were issued in 2005 are paid in full before May 1, 2016, other than (Y) notes that are satisfied upon conversion into common stock, warrants or any other equity of the Company, or (Z) notes that have been paid in full before March 2, 2015. All principal and interest under the original note, as amended by the note amendment, will be due and shall be paid on May 1, 2016. The note requires monthly payments of $20,000, except for the month of June 2015, where the monthly payment was $72,000.

Class B Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 2015, the spouse of the board member Mr. Richard Berman, participated in the Class B convertible preferred stock offering and the Company issued 1,667 shares of Class B convertible preferred stock for total proceeds of $20,000.

Note 5. Notes Payable

From December 2014 through February 2015, the Company issued to certain accredited investors 2014 Series Secured Promissory Notes (the “7% Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate original principal amount of $915,000. The 7% Bridge Notes accrued interest at a rate of 7% per annum. All principal and interest under the 7% Bridge Notes were due on July 1, 2015. In January and March 2015, the Company repaid an aggregate of $173,600 of the original principal balance outstanding, representing 25% of the net proceeds received from the Class A and Class B convertible preferred stock offering through February 28, 2015. All remaining principal and accrued interest was repaid in April 2015.

In connection with the issuance of the 7% Bridge Notes, the Company issued the note holders warrants to purchase 190,625 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The warrants were exercisable on May 31, 2015 and expire on November 30, 2021. The relative fair value of the warrants of $458,900 was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the notes.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the Company amortized $221,400 of the debt discount to interest expense for these notes.

13

The Company did not pay any discounts or commissions with respect to the issuance of the 7% Bridge Notes or the warrants.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Facility and Equipment Leases

On October 21, 2015, we entered into a new operating lease for 27,600 square foot corporate, research and development, and warehouse facility in Irvine, California under an operating lease which commences on the substantial completion of the improvements thereon which we expect to be completed in February 2016 and expires seven years after such date, subject to our option to extend the lease for two additional five-year periods. The initial base rent will be approximately $24,700 per month. This lease agreement contains certain scheduled annual rent increases which will be accounted for on a straight-line basis. We also lease certain office equipment which expires in March 2018.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our officers under which payment and benefits would become payable in the event of termination by us for any reason other than cause, or upon a change in control of our Company, or by the employee for good reason.

Consulting and Engineering Services

On September 16, 2015, the Company entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), by and between KLATU Networks, LLC (“KLATU”) and the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company purchased from KLATU certain intellectual property and intellectual property rights related to the Company’s Cryoportal^TM logistics management platform (the “Developed Technology”), which KLATU previously developed for and licensed to the Company pursuant to the Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement, by and between KLATU and the Company, dated October 9, 2007 (as amended, the “Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement”). As full compensation for the sale and assignment of the Developed Technology from KLATU to the Company, the Company paid KLATU an aggregate amount of $400,000 in two equal installments of $200,000.

Concurrently with entering into the Purchase and Sale Agreement, on September 16, 2015, the Company and KLATU entered into the Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement”) to amend and restate the Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement. The Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement provides a framework for KLATU to perform certain consulting, software and hardware engineering development services as mutually agreed upon and further set forth in one or more Statements of Work (as defined in the Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement). To ensure the availability of KLATU personnel to perform services pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement, the Company agreed to pay KLATU a minimum of $25,000 per month for services fees, which may be carried forward as advance payment for future services under certain conditions. The initial term of the agreement is until December 31, 2017 and will thereafter automatically renew for subsequent one year terms, unless notice of termination is given.

Consulting fees for services provided by KLATU were $75,000 and $95,600 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $215,500 and $257,500 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Litigation

The Company may become a party to product litigation in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for open claims based on its historical experience and available insurance coverage. In the opinion of management, there are no legal matters involving the Company that would have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Indemnities and Guarantees

The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain actions or transactions. Certain of these guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the agreement. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

14

In addition, the Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the States of California and Nevada.

Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized Stock

The Company has 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share which were increased in November 2015 upon approval from our stockholders from 20,833,333 authorized shares. In September 2011, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to authorize a class of undesignated or “blank check” preferred stock, consisting of 2,500,000 shares at $0.001 par value per share. Shares of preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, with such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions to be fixed by the Board of Directors. In May 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation which designated 800,000 shares of the Company’s previously authorized preferred stock, par value $0.001, as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock. In February 2015, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation which designated 400,000 shares of the Company’s previously authorized preferred stock, par value $0.001, as Class B Convertible Preferred Stock. In April 2015, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada an Amendment to the Certificate of Designation to increase the number shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock from 400,000 shares to 585,000 shares.

On October 1, 2015, the Company issued 55,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $150,200 to a consultant for investor relation services under a consulting agreement that expires on April 1, 2016. At December 31, 2015, $75,100 is included in other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Class A Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 2014, the Company entered into definitive agreements for a private placement of its securities to certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Class A Investors”) pursuant to certain subscription agreements and elections to convert between the Company and the Class A Investors. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, 454,750 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and 303,167 of the related warrants were outstanding for Class A Investors and 106,432 warrants were outstanding for Emergent Financial, Inc.

Class B Convertible Preferred Stock

In February 2015, the Company entered into definitive agreements for a private placement of its securities to certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Class B Investors”) pursuant to certain subscription agreements and elections to convert between the Company and the Class B Investors. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, aggregate gross cash proceeds of $4.5 million (approximately $3.9 million after offering costs) were collected in exchange for the issuance of 372,862 shares of our Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, and warrants, which were immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time on or before May 31, 2020, to purchase up to a total of 248,575 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The shares and warrants were issued as a unit consisting of (i) one share of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) one warrant to purchase 0.67 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible preferred stock issuance and the relative fair value of the warrants issued, aggregated $4.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The amount of $4.5 million was accreted to accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Emergent served as the Company’s placement agent in this transaction and received, with respect to the gross proceeds received from Class B Investors, a commission of 10% and a non-accountable finance fee of 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from such Class B Investors, plus reimbursement of legal expenses of up to $5,000. Emergent was issued a warrant to purchase 0.25 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share for each Unit issued in this transaction. The offering of units to new Class B Investors concluded on June 9, 2015.

In May 2015, the spouse of the board member Mr. Richard Berman, participated in the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock offering and the Company issued 1,667 shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock for proceeds of $20,000.

15

As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, 534,571 and 161,709 shares, respectively, of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, and 356,381 and 107,806, respectively, of the related warrants were outstanding for Class B Investors and 130,914 and 38,115 warrants, respectively, were outstanding for Emergent in connection with the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock offering.

No dividends have been declared as of December 31, 2015; however, a cumulative preferred stock dividend of $362,200 and $3,800 is included in the liquidation preference at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Emergent received total cash consideration of $1.3 million and was issued warrants to purchase 237,345 shares of common stock with respect to the gross proceeds the Company received from the Class A and Class B offerings.

All shares of Class A and Class B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted to units of common stock in January 2016 (See Note 9).

Public Equity Offering

On July 29, 2015, the Company completed the sale of common stock and warrants (the “Units”) under a registered public offering. The gross proceeds to Cryoport from the offering, including the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, were approximately $6.8 million, before underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (approximately $6.2 million after underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses).

The public offering price per Unit was $3.25. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock. Under the terms of the offering, Cryoport issued 2,090,750 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,090,750 shares of common stock, inclusive of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $3.57, are exercisable immediately and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

In connection with this offering, the Company issued to Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), the underwriters’ representative in the offering, a warrant to purchase up to 80,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and Aegis received a total cash consideration, including the reimbursement of public offering-related expenses, of $0.6 million. If such warrant is exercised, each share of common stock may be purchased at $4.47 per share (137.5% of the price of the units sold in the offering), commencing on July 23, 2016 and expiring July 23, 2020.

In connection with this offering, the Company incurred $266,100 in offering costs that have been offset against the proceeds from this offering.

(1) Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the warrant and the closing market price of our common stock on December 31, 2015, which was $2.02 per share.

The fair value of each warrant issued was estimated on the date of issuance using Black-Scholes with the following assumptions:

Expected life (years)	5.0 – 5.2
Risk-free interest rate	1.33% – 1.73%
Volatility	98.6% – 121.3%
Dividend yield	0%

Stock Options

We have four stock incentive plans: the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”), the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan” and, collectively, the “Plans”). The 2002 Plan, the 2009 Plan, and the 2011 Plan (the “Prior Plans”) have been superseded by the 2015 Plan. In October 2015, the stockholders approved the 2015 Plan for 5,000,000 shares. The Prior Plans will remain in effect until all awards granted under such Prior Plans have been exercised, forfeited, cancelled, or have otherwise expired or terminated in accordance with the terms of such awards, but no awards will be made pursuant to the Prior Plans after the effectiveness of the 2015 Plan. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had 3,091,600 shares available for future awards under the 2015 Plan.

In May 2015, the Company granted employees and members of the board of directors options to purchase 465,633 and 20,835 shares of common stock, respectively, with an exercise price of $7.80 per share, of which 355,001 shares were issued outside of a plan. The exercise price for the shares of common stock pursuant to the option is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

We granted stock options at exercise prices equal to or greater than the quoted market price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using Black-Scholes with the following assumptions:

Expected life (years)	5.2 to 6.4
Risk-free interest rate	1.7% to 1.9%
Volatility	115.9% to 122.3%
Dividend yield	0%

The expected option life assumption is estimated based on the simplified method. Accordingly, the Company has utilized the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all options to calculate the expected option term. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of our employee stock options. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock commensurate with the expected life of the stock-based award. We do not anticipate paying dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.

We recognize stock-based compensation cost over the vesting period using the straight-line single option method. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. An estimated forfeiture rate has been applied to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. The estimated forfeiture rate of 0% per year is based on the historical forfeiture activity of unvested stock options. These estimates are revised, if necessary, in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

A summary of stock option activity is as follows:  

	Number of Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price/Share		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)
Outstanding — March 31, 2015		1,793,745		$	4.56
Granted (weighted-average fair value of $2.94 per share)		2,394,868			4.02
Exercised		(4,601	)		2.47
Forfeited		(181,113	)		4.33
Outstanding — December 31, 2015		4,002,899		$	4.23		8.7	$	—
Vested (exercisable) — December 31, 2015		1,144,928		$	4.57		7.3	$	—
Unvested (unexercisable) — December 31, 2015		2,857,971		$	4.10		3.2	$	—

(1) Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the option and the closing market price of our common stock on December 31, 2015, which was $2.02 per share.

As of December 31, 2015, there was unrecognized compensation expense of $8.8 million related to unvested stock options, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 3.2 years.

Note 9. Subsequent Events

Preferred Stock Conversion

On January 30, 2016 (the “Mandatory Exchange Time”), the Company caused the mandatory exchange (the “Mandatory Exchange”) of all its outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (together, the “Preferred Stock”), consisting of 454,750 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and 534,571 shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, into (i) an aggregate of 4,977,038 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company and (ii) an aggregate of 4,977,038  warrants, each warrant representing the right to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”).

The Mandatory Exchange was effected in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (together, as amended to date, the “Certificates of Designation”).  In accordance with each of the Certificates of Designation, a mandatory exchange of the Preferred Stock is triggered upon a Qualified Offering (as defined in the Certificates of Designation).  The Mandatory Exchange occurs on the day that is six months and one day after the closing of such Qualified Offering.  On July 29, 2015, the Company completed its public offering of 2,090,750 units (consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant) at the public offering price of $3.25 per unit, which constituted a Qualified Offering (see Note 7).  As a result, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock were automatically exchanged at the Mandatory Exchange Time for such units sold in the Qualified Offering (consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant) at an exchange rate determined by:

1)   multiplying the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged by the Class A Original Issue Price or Class B Original Issue Price (as defined in the Certificates of Designation), or $12.00 per share;

2)   adding to the result all dividends then accrued but unpaid on such shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged of $1,068,100; then

3)   dividing the result by $2.60 (which is eighty percent (80%) of the price per unit issued in the Qualified Offering).

The issuance of the Securities in connection with the Mandatory Exchange was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

General Overview

We provide cryogenic logistics solutions to the life sciences industry through a combination of purpose-built proprietary packaging, information technology and specialized cold chain logistics knowhow. We view our solutions as disruptive to the “older technologies” of dry ice and liquid nitrogen, in that our solutions are comprehensive and combine our competencies in configurations that are customized to our client’s requirements. We provide comprehensive, reliable, economic alternatives to all existing logistics solutions and services utilized for frozen shipping in the life sciences industry (e.g., personalized medicine, cell therapies, stem cells, cell lines, vaccines, diagnostic materials, semen, eggs, embryos, cord blood, bio-pharmaceuticals, infectious substances, and other commodities that require continuous exposure to cryogenic or frozen temperatures). As part of our services, we provide the ability to monitor, record and archive crucial information for each shipment that can be used for scientific and regulatory purposes.

Our Cryoport Express^® Solutions include a sophisticated cloud-based logistics operating platform, which is branded as the Cryoportal™. The Cryoportal™ supports the management of the entire shipment and logistics process through a single interface, including initial order input, document preparation, customs clearance, courier management, shipment tracking, issue resolution, and delivery. In addition, it provides unique and incisive information dashboards and validation documentation for every shipment. The Cryoportal™ records and retains a fully documented “chain-of-custody” and, at the client’s option, “chain-of-condition” for every shipment, helping ensure that quality, safety, efficacy, and stability of shipped commodities are maintained throughout the process. This recorded and archived information allows our clients to meet exacting requirements necessary for scientific work and for proof of regulatory compliance during the logistics phase.

The branded packaging for our Cryoport Express^® Solutions includes our liquid nitrogen dry vapor shippers, the Cryoport Express^® Shippers. The Cryoport Express^® Shippers are cost-effective and reusable cryogenic transport shippers (our standard shipper is a patented vacuum flask) utilizing an innovative application of “dry vapor” liquid nitrogen technology. Cryoport Express^® Shippers are International Air Transport Association certified and validated to maintain stable temperatures of minus 150° Celsius and below for a 10-day dynamic shipment period. The Company currently features three Cryoport Express^® Shippers: the Standard Dry Shipper (holding up to 75 2.0 ml vials), the High Volume Dry Shipper (holding up to 500 2.0 ml vials) and the Cryoport Express^® CXVC1 Shipper (holding up to 1,500 2.0 ml vials). In addition, we assist clients with internal secondary packaging as well (e.g., vials, canes, straws, plates, etc.).

19

Our most used solution is the “turnkey” solution, which can be accessed directly through our cloud-based Cryoportal™ or by contacting Cryoport Client Care for order entry. Once an order is placed and cleared, we ship a fully charged Cryoport Express^® Shipper to the client who conveniently loads its frozen commodity into the inner chamber of the Cryoport Express^® Shipper.  The customer then closes the shipper package and reseals the shipping box displaying the next recipient’s address (“Flap A”) for pre-arranged carrier pick up.  Cryoport arranges for the pick-up of the parcel by a shipping service provider, which is designated by the client or chosen by Cryoport, for delivery to the client’s intended recipient.  The recipient simply opens the shipper package and removes the frozen commodity that has been shipped.  The recipient then reseals the package, displaying the nearest Cryoport Operations Center address (“Flap B”), making it ready for pre-arranged carrier pick-up. When the Cryoport Operations Center receives the Cryoport Express^® Shipper, it is cleaned, put through quality assurance testing, and returned to inventory for reuse.

In late 2012, we shifted our focus to become a comprehensive cryogenic logistics solutions provider. Recognizing that clients in the life sciences industry have varying requirements, we unbundled our technologies, establishing customer facing solutions and taking a consultative approach to the market. Today, in addition to our standard turnkey solution, described above, we also provide the following customer facing, value-added solutions to address our various clients’ needs:

· “Customer Staged Solution,” designed for clients making 50 or more shipments per month. Under this solution, we supply an inventory of our Cryoport Express^® Shippers to our customer, in an uncharged state, enabling our customer (after training/certification) to charge them with liquid nitrogen and use our Cryoportal™ to enter orders with shipping and delivery service providers for the transportation of the package. Once the order is released, our customer service professionals monitor the shipment and the return of the shipper to us for cleaning, quality assurance testing and reuse.

· “Customer Managed Solution,” a limited customer implemented solution whereby we supply our Cryoport Express^® Shippers to clients in a fully charged state, but leaving it to the client to manage the shipping, including the selection of the shipping and delivery service provider and the return of the shipper to us.

· “powered by Cryoport^SM,” available to providers of shipping and delivery services who seek to offer a “branded” cryogenic logistics solution as part of their service offerings, with “powered by Cryoport^SM” appearing prominently on the offering software interface and packaging. This solution can also be private labeled upon meeting certain requirements, such as minimum required shipping volumes.

· “Integrated Solution,” which is our outsource solution. It is our most comprehensive solution and involves our management of the entire cryogenic logistics process for our client, including Cryoport employees at the client’s site to manage the client’s cryogenic logistics function in total.

· “Regenerative Medicine Point-of-Care Repository Solution,” designed for allogeneic therapies. Under this solution we supply our Cryoport Express^® Shipper to ship and store cryogenically preserved life science products for up to 6 days (or longer periods with supplementary shippers) at a point-of-care site, with the Cryoport Express^® Shipper serving as a temporary freezer/repository enabling the efficient and effective distribution of temperature sensitive allogeneic cell-based therapies without the expense, inconvenience, and potential costly failure of an on-site, cryopreservation device. Our customer service professionals monitor each shipment throughout the predetermined process including the return of the shipper to us. When the Cryoport Operations Center receives the Cryoport Express^® Shipper package it is cleaned, put through quality assurance testing, and returned to inventory for reuse.

· “Personalized Medicine and Cell-based Immunotherapy Solution,” designed for autologous therapies. Under this solution our Cryoport Express^® Shipper serves as an enabling technology for the safe transportation of manufactured autologous cellular-based immunotherapies by providing a comprehensive logistics solution for the verified chain of custody and condition transport from, (a) the collection of the patient’s cells in a hospital setting, to (b) a central processing facility where they are manufactured into a personalized medicine, to (c) the safe, cryogenically preserved return of these irreplaceable cells to a point-of-care treatment facility.  If required, the Cryoport Express^® Shipper can then serve as a temporary freezer/repository to allow the efficient distribution of this personalized medicine to the patient when and where the medical provider needs it most without the expense, inconvenience, and potential costly failure of an on-site, cryopreservation device. Our customer service professionals monitor each shipment throughout the predetermined process, including the return of the shipper to us. When the Cryoport Operations Center receives the Cryoport Express^® Shipper package it is cleaned, put through quality assurance testing, and returned to inventory for reuse.

Strategic Logistics Alliances

We have sought to establish strategic alliances as a long-term method of marketing our solutions providing minus 150° Celsius shipping conditions to the life sciences industry. We have focused our efforts on leading companies in the logistics services industry as well as participants in the life sciences industry. In connection with our alliances with providers of shipping services, we refer to their respective offerings as “powered by Cryoport^SM” to reflect our solutions being integrated into our alliance partner’s services.

Cryoport now serves and supports the three largest integrators in the world, responsible for over 85% of worldwide airfreight, with its advanced cryogenic logistics solutions for life sciences. We operate with each independently and confidentially in support of their respective market and sales strategies. These agreements with the three largest integrators in the world represent a significant validation of our solutions and the way we conduct our business.

FedEx. In January 2013, we entered into a master agreement with Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx”) (the “FedEx Agreement”) renewing these services and providing FedEx with a non-exclusive license and right to use a customized version of our Cryoportal^TM for the management of shipments made by FedEx customers. The FedEx Agreement became effective on January 1, 2013 and was amended in December 2015 to extend the initial term for an additional three years, expiring on December 31, 2018. FedEx has the right to terminate this agreement at any time for convenience upon 180 days’ notice.

Under our FedEx Agreement, we provide frozen shipping logistics services through the combination of our purpose-built proprietary technologies and turnkey management processes. FedEx markets and sells Cryoport’s services for frozen temperature-controlled cold chain transportation as its FedEx^® Deep Frozen Shipping Solution on a non-exclusive basis and at its sole expense. As part of the solution, Cryoport has developed a FedEx-branded version of the Cryoportal^TM software platform, which is “powered by Cryoport^SM” for use by FedEx and its customers giving them access to the full capabilities of our cloud-based logistics management software platform.

DHL. In June 2014, we entered into a master agreement with LifeConEx, a part of DHL Global Forwarding (“DHL”). This relationship with DHL is a further implementation of the Company’s expansion of distribution partnerships under the “powered by Cryoport^SM” model described above, allowing us to expand our sales and marketing reach through our partners and build awareness of the benefits of our validated cryogenic solution offerings. DHL enhanced its cold chain logistics offerings to its life sciences and healthcare customers with Cryoport’s validated cryogenic solutions. DHL’s network offers Cryoport’s cryogenic solutions under the DHL brands as “powered by Cryoport^SM”. In addition, DHL’s customers will be able to have direct access to our cloud-based order entry and tracking portal to order Cryoport Express^® Solutions and receive preferred DHL shipping rates and discounts. Our proprietary logistics management operating platform, the Cryoportal^TM, is integrated with DHL’s tracking and billing systems to provide DHL life sciences and healthcare customers with a seamless way of accessing critical information regarding shipments of biological material worldwide.

UPS. In October 2014, we added United Parcel Services, Inc. (“UPS”) as our third major distributor by entering into an agreement with UPS Oasis Supply Corporation, a part of UPS, whereby UPS will offer our validated and comprehensive cryogenic solutions to its life sciences and healthcare customers on a global basis. This relationship with UPS is a further implementation of the Company’s expansion of distributors under the “powered by Cryoport^SM” model described above, allowing us to further expand our sales and marketing reach through our partners and build awareness of the benefits of our validated cryogenic solution offerings through UPS.

As a result of our new relationship with UPS, UPS customers will have direct access to our cloud-based order entry and tracking portal to order Cryoport Express^® Solutions and gain access to UPS’s broad array of domestic and international shipping and logistics solutions at competitive prices. Our proprietary logistics management operating platform, the Cryoportal^TM, is integrated with UPS’s tracking and billing systems to provide UPS life sciences and healthcare customers with a seamless way of accessing critical information regarding shipments of biological material worldwide.

Life Sciences Agreements

Zoetis. In December 2012, we signed an agreement with Pfizer Inc. relating to Zoetis Inc. (formerly the animal health business unit of Pfizer Inc.) pursuant to which we were engaged to manage frozen shipments of a key poultry vaccine. Under this arrangement, Cryoport provides on-site logistics personnel and its logistics management operating platform, the Cryoportal^TM to manage shipments from the Zoetis manufacturing site in the United States to domestic customers as well as various international distribution centers. As part of our logistics management services, Cryoport is constantly analyzing logistics data and processes to further introduce economies and reliability throughout the network, ensuring products arrive at their destinations in specified conditions, on-time and with the optimum utilization of resources. The Company manages Zoetis’ total fleet of dewar flask shippers used for this purpose, including liquid nitrogen shippers. In July 2013 the agreement was amended to expand Cryoport’s scope to manage all logistics of Zoetis’ key frozen poultry vaccine to all Zoetis’ international distribution centers as well as all domestic shipments. In October 2013, the agreement was further amended to expand Cryoport’s role to include the logistics management for a second poultry vaccine. In September 2015, the agreement was further amended and extended through September 2018, subject to certain termination and extension provisions.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to three months ended December 31, 2014:

The following table summarizes certain information derived from our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

	Three Months Ended December 31,

Net loss	$	(2,760	)	$	(1,408	)	$	(1,352	)		96.1	%

Revenues. We generated revenues from customers in all of our target life sciences markets, such as biopharma, reproductive medicine and animal health. Revenues increased $483,400 or 49.6% to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $975,200 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily driven by an overall increase in the number of customers utilizing our services compared to the prior year. Revenues in the biopharma market, which includes biotech and diagnostic companies, pharmaceutical companies, central laboratories, contract research organizations and research institutions grew by 80.0% compared to the prior year quarter. During the quarter we started supporting 8 additional new clinical trials and are now supporting 59 clinical trials in aggregate. Revenues in the reproductive medicine market increased by 35.9% over the prior year to $306,300 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, led by a 53.3% increase in the U.S. market, which was partially offset by a slower revenue ramp of 20.3% internationally. While revenue in the reproductive medicine market continues to be driven by our targeted sales and marketing campaigns and an increased awareness of our cryogenic logistics solutions in this market, our international revenue was impacted by the closure of reproductive tourism in three countries during the quarter. Our revenues from the animal health market were $176,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, representing a 15.1% decrease over the same period in the prior year as a result of a temporary reduction in production volume from one of our clients.

Gross margin and cost of revenues. Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was 26.3% of revenues, as compared to 24.1% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the increase in revenues combined with a reduction in freight charges as a percentage of revenues and a decrease of fixed manufacturing costs. Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was 73.7% of revenues, as compared to 75.9% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Our cost of revenues are primarily comprised of freight charges, payroll and related expenses for our operations center in California, third-party charges for our European and Asian operations centers in the Netherlands and Singapore, depreciation expenses of our Cryoport Express^® Shippers and supplies and consumables used for our solutions. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to freight charges from the growth in shipments and inventory transfers between operations centers, freight pricing increases and the expansion of the shipping team in anticipation of increased shipping volume.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 or 89.9% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily due to equity-based compensation charges, salaries and associated employee costs, including recruiting fees, incurred to expand our sales force, the engagement of a marketing firm, increased attendance at trade shows and public company related expenses, including legal fees and costs to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Markets exchange.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased $128,700 or 129.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to a write off of previously capitalized costs in the amount of $98,100 resulting from the abandonment of a method of shipment patent application and the salary and associated employee costs related to the addition of a research and development engineer. Our research and development efforts are focused on continually improving the features of the Cryoport Express^® Solutions including the Company’s cloud-based logistics management platform, the Cryoportal^TM, the Cryoport Express^® Shippers and development of additional accessories to facilitate the efficient shipment of life science commodities using our solution. We use an outside software development company and other third parties to provide some of these services. These efforts are expected to lead to the introduction of additional shipper designs to meet market requirements, constructed of lower cost materials and utilizing high volume manufacturing methods. In addition, research and development effort has been directed towards developing an advanced condition monitoring system, Smart Pak II, which is currently in beta testing and is scheduled to be launched during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

23

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $31,300 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 included amortization of the debt discount on the related-party notes payable of $65,400 and the related interest expense of $14,500. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2014 included accrued interest on our related-party notes payable of $7,500, amortization of the debt discount on the 7% Bridge Notes of $38,100 and related interest expense of $3,000.

Revenues. We generated revenues from customers in all of our target life sciences markets, such as biopharma, reproductive medicine and animal health. Revenues increased $1.6 million or 58.1% to $4.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $2.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily driven by an overall increase in the number of customers utilizing our services compared to the prior year. Revenues in the biopharma market, which includes biotech and diagnostic companies, pharmaceutical companies, central laboratories, contract research organizations and research institutions grew by 91.3% compared to the prior year period and we are now supporting 59 clinical trials, of which ten are in phase III of their respective clinical trials. Revenues in the reproductive medicine market increased by 58.4% over the prior year to $997,800 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. While revenue in the reproductive medicine market continues to be driven by our targeted sales and marketing campaigns and an increased awareness of our cryogenic logistics solutions in this market, our international revenue was impacted by the closure of reproductive tourism in three countries during our third fiscal quarter. driven by continued success of our targeted sales and marketing campaigns and an increased awareness of our cryogenic logistics solutions in this market. Our revenues from the animal health market were $656,400 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, representing a 7.6% decrease over the same period in the prior year as a result of a temporary reduction in production volume from one of our clients.

Gross margin and cost of revenues. Gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was 30.2% of revenues, as compared to 29.2% of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was 69.8% of revenues, as compared to 70.8% of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. Our cost of revenues are primarily comprised of freight charges, payroll and related expenses for our operations center in California, third-party charges for our European and Asian operations centers in the Netherlands and Singapore, depreciation expenses of our Cryoport Express^® Shippers and supplies and consumables used for our solutions. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to freight charges from the growth in shipments and inventory transfers between operations centers, freight pricing increases and the expansion of the shipping team in anticipation of increased shipping volume.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 or 58.4% as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily due to equity-based compensation charges, salaries and associated employee costs incurred to expand our sales force, the engagement of a marketing firm, increased attendance at trade shows, public company related expenses, including legal fees and costs to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market exchange and travel expenses associated with the public equity offering completed in July 2015.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased $138,200 or 51.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to a write off of previously capitalized costs in the amount of $98,100 resulting from the abandonment of method of shipment patent application and the salary and associated employee costs related to the addition of a research and development engineer. Our research and development efforts are focused on continually improving the features of the Cryoport Express^® Solutions including the Company’s cloud-based logistics management platform, the Cryoportal^TM, the Cryoport Express^® Shippers and development of additional accessories to facilitate the efficient shipment of life science commodities using our solution. We use an outside software development company and other third parties to provide some of these services. These efforts are expected to lead to the introduction of additional shipper designs to meet market requirements, constructed of lower cost materials and utilizing high volume manufacturing methods. In addition, research and development effort has been directed towards developing an advanced condition monitoring system, Smart Pak II, which is currently in beta testing and is scheduled to be launched during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $200,600 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2014. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 included amortization of the debt discount on the related-party notes payable of $195,600, the related interest expense of $43,400, the amortization of the debt discount on the notes payable of $221,400, related interest expense of $3,300 as well as the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the related-party notes payable of $521,100. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 included amortization of the debt discount and deferred financing fees of approximately $1.1 million, of which $826,900 related to the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the 5% Bridge Notes that was triggered by the convertible preferred stock offering, interest expense on our 5% Bridge Notes of approximately $10,600 and accrued interest on our related party notes payable of approximately $23,600, amortization of the debt discount on the 7% Bridge Notes of $38,100 and related interest expense of $3,000.

Other expense, net. The other expense, net for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 is primarily due to administrative charges and foreign exchange losses on accounts receivable and payable invoices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.2 million and working capital of $3.7 million. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our debt and equity securities.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, we used $4.3 million of cash for operations primarily as a result of the net loss of $7.1 million offset by non-cash expenses of $3.3 million primarily comprised of amortization of debt discounts, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and loss on the write-off of patents. Also contributing to the cash impact of our net operating loss (excluding non-cash items) was an increase in accounts receivable of $63,100 due to increased revenues, increase in other current assets for prepaid amounts of $116,600 and an increase in deposits and other assets of $363,400 related to security deposits for the new facility lease in Irvine.  

Net cash used in investing activities of $714,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to the purchase from KLATU of certain intellectual property and intellectual property rights related to the Company’s Cryoportal^TM logistics management platform, which KLATU previously developed for and licensed to the Company. In addition, we purchased additional liquid nitrogen dry vapor shippers and data loggers for our condition monitoring system aggregating $310,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $8.9 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2015, and resulted from net proceeds from the public equity offering of $5.9 million, issuance of convertible preferred stock of $3.9 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $10,900, partially offset by the repayment of notes payable of $741,400 and the repayment of related-party notes payable of $212,000.

The Company received gross proceeds of $4.5 million (approximately $3.9 million after offering costs) in exchange for the issuance of 372,862 shares of convertible preferred stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 which is further described in Note 7 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The funds raised are being used for working capital purposes and to continue our sales efforts to advance the Company’s commercialization of the Cryoport Express^® Solutions.

25

In July 2015, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock and warrants under a registered public offering to provide working capital, support the Company’s anticipated operations and development plans and meet the eligibility requirement to list its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The gross proceeds to Cryoport from this offering, including the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, were approximately $6.8 million.

As discussed in Note 2 of the accompanying condensed financial statements, there exists substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management recognizes that the Company will need to obtain additional capital to fund its operations until sustained profitable operations are achieved. Management is currently working on such funding alternatives in order to secure sufficient operating capital through the end of fiscal year 2017. In addition, management will continue to review its operations for efficiencies to extend the time the Company can operate with its current cash on hand and to utilize third parties for services such as its international recycling and refurbishment centers to provide for greater flexibility in aligning operational expenses with the changes in sales volumes. Additional funding plans may include obtaining additional capital through equity and/or debt funding sources; however, no assurance can be given that additional capital, if needed, will be available when required or upon terms acceptable to the Company.
