NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2019

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (“the Company” or “Cryo-Cell”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 11, 1989 and is headquartered in Oldsmar, Florida. The Company is organized in three reportable segments, cellular processing and cryogenic cellular storage, with a current focus on the collection and preservation of umbilical cord blood stem cells for family use, the manufacture of PrepaCyte CB units, the processing technology used to process umbilical cord blood stem cells and cellular processing and cryogenic storage of umbilical cord blood stem cells for public use. Revenues recognized for the cellular processing and cryogenic cellular storage represent sales of the umbilical cord blood stem cells program to customers and income from licensees selling the umbilical cord blood stem cells program to customers outside the United States. Revenues recognized for the manufacture of PrepaCyte CB units represent sales of the PrepaCyte CB units to customers. Revenue recognized for the cryogenic storage of umbilical cord blood stem cells for public use is generated from the sale of the cord blood units to the National Marrow Donor Program (“NMDP”), which distributes the cord blood units to transplant centers located in the United States and around the world. The Company’s headquarters facility in Oldsmar, Florida handles all aspects of its U.S.-based business operations including the processing and storage of specimens, including specimens obtained from certain of its licensees’ customers. The specimens are stored in commercially available cryogenic storage equipment.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements including the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 28, 2019, the related Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Deficit for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018 have been prepared by Cryo-Cell International, Inc. and its subsidiaries pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Certain financial information and note disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s November 30, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any interim period in the future or the entire year ending November 30, 2019.

Revenue Recognition

Effective December 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new revenue standard to all contracts with customers that were not completed as of December 1, 2018 as an adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders’ deficit at the beginning of fiscal year 2019. The reported results for 2019 reflect the application of ASC 606 guidance while the reported results for 2018 were prepared under the guidance of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). ASC 606 applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. ASC 606 also impacts certain other areas, such as the accounting for costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASC 606 also requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the amount of reported revenues with respect to the Company’s product or service revenues. In connection with the adoption of ASC 606, the Company is required to capitalize certain contract acquisition costs consisting primarily of commissions paid when contracts are signed and amortize these costs on a systematic basis, consistent with the pattern of transfer of the storage services provided over time for which the asset relates. As of December 1, 2018, the Company capitalized in deposits and other assets, net, $329,231 in incremental contract acquisition costs related to sales commissions on prepaid storage contracts and reversed $18,408 of its variable consideration that the Company determined to be fully constrained, with a corresponding change in the opening balance of stockholders’ deficit of $253,447, net of tax, of $94,192.

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised services are transferred to the customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring services to a customer (“transaction price”).

At contract inception, if the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company evaluates its contracts with customers using the five-step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company evaluates its contracts for legal enforceability at contract inception and subsequently throughout the Company’s relationship with its customers. If legal enforceability with regards to the rights and obligations exist for both the Company and the customer, then the Company has an enforceable contract and revenue recognition is permitted subject to the satisfaction of the other criteria. If, at the outset of an arrangement, the Company determines that a contract with enforceable rights and obligations does not exist, revenues are deferred until all criteria for an enforceable contract are met. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that collection of the consideration that the Company is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services being transferred to the customer, will occur.

Contract modifications exist when the modification either creates new or changes in the existing enforceable rights and obligations. The Company’s contracts are occasionally modified to account for changes in contract terms and conditions, which the Company refers to as an upgrade or downgrade. An upgrade occurs when a customer wants to pay for additional years of storage. A downgrade occurs when a customer originally entered into a long-term contract (such as twenty-one year or life-time plan) but would like to change the term to a one-year contract. Upgrade modifications qualify for treatment as a separate contract as the additional services are distinct and the increase in contract price reflects the Company’s stand-alone selling price for the additional services and will be accounted for on a prospective basis. Downgrade modifications do not qualify for treatment as a separate contract as there is no increase in price over the original contract, thus failing the separate contract criteria. As such, the Company separately considers downgrade modifications to determine if these should be accounted for as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract (prospective method) or as part of the existing contract (cumulative catch-up adjustment). ASC 606 requires that an entity account for the contract modification as if it were a termination of the existing contract, and the creation of a new contract, if the remaining goods or services are distinct from the goods or services transferred on or before the date of the contract modification. As the services after the modification were previously determined to be distinct, the Company concluded that downgrade modifications qualify under this method and will be accounted for on a prospective basis. Although contract modifications do occur, they are infrequent.

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company determined that the following distinct goods and services represent separate performance obligations involving the sale of its umbilical cord blood product:

•

Collection and processing services

•

Storage services

•

Public cord blood banking

•

License and royalties

•

Sale of PrepaCyte CB product

a)	Processing and Storage Fees

Processing and storage fees include the Company providing umbilical cord blood and tissue cellular processing and cryogenic cellular storage for private use. Revenues recognized for the cellular processing and cryogenic cellular storage represent sales of the umbilical cord blood stem cells program to customers and income from licensees who are selling the umbilical cord blood stem cells program to customers outside the United States.

The Company recognizes revenue from processing fees at the point in time of the successful completion of processing and recognizes storage fees over time, which is ratably over the contractual storage period as well as other income from royalties paid by licensees related to long-term storage contracts which the Company has under license agreements. Contracted storage periods are annual, twenty-one years and life-time. The life-time storage plan is based on a life expectancy of 81 years, which is the current estimate by the Center for Disease Control for United States women’s life expectancy and concluded that additional data analysis would result in an immaterial difference in revenue. Deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes the portion of the annual, the twenty-one-year and the life-time storage fees that are being recognized over the contractual storage period as well as royalties received from foreign licensees relating to long-term storage contracts for which the Company has future obligations under the license agreement. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current if the Company expects to recognize the related revenue over the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.

Significant financing

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. For all plans being annual, twenty-one years and life-time, the storage fee is paid at the beginning of the storage period (prepaid plans). Alternatively, the Company offers payment plans (including a stated service fee) for customers to pay over time for a period of one to twenty-four plus months. The one-time plan includes the collection kit, processing and testing, return medical courier service and twenty-one years of pre-paid storage fees. The life-time plan includes the collection kit, processing and testing, return medical courier service and pre-paid storage fees for the life of the customer. The Company concluded that a significant financing component is not present within either the prepaid or overtime payment plans. The Company has determined that the twenty-one year and life-time prepayment options do not include a significant financing component as the payment terms were structured primarily for reasons other than the provision of financing and to maximize profitability.

The Company has determined that the majority of plans that are paid over time are paid in less than a year. When considered over a twenty-four-month payment plan, the difference between the cash selling price and the consideration paid is nominal. As such, the Company believes that its payment plans do not include significant financing components as they are not significant in the aggregate when considered in the context of all contracts entered into nor significant at the individual contract level.

The Company elected to apply the practical expedient where the Company does not need to assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when it performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less.

As of February 28, 2019, the total aggregate transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations was recorded as deferred revenue amounting to $29,392,197, which will be recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the contractual period of which $8,267,997 will be recognized over the next twelve months.

Variable consideration

In December 2005, the Company began providing its customers that enrolled after December 2005 a payment warranty under which the Company agrees to pay $50,000 to its client if the umbilical cord blood product retrieved is used for a stem cell transplant for the donor or an immediate family member and fails to engraft, subject to various restrictions. Effective February 1, 2012, the Company increased the $50,000 payment warranty to a $75,000 payment warranty to all of its new clients. Effective June 1, 2017, the Company increased the payment warranty to $100,000 to all new clients who choose the premium processing method, Prepacyte CB. Additionally, under the Cryo-Cell CaresTM program, the Company will pay $10,000 to the client to offset personal expenses if the umbilical cord blood product is used for bone marrow reconstitution in a myeloblative transplant procedure. The product warranty and the Cryo-Cell Cares program are available to clients who enroll under this structure for as long as the specimen is stored with the Company. In the processing and storage agreements, the Company provides limited rights which are offered to customers automatically upon contract execution. The Company has determined that the payment warranty represents variable consideration payable to the customer.

Based on the Company’s historical experience to date, the Company has determined the payment warranty to be fully constrained under the most likely amount method. Consequently, the transaction price does not currently reflect any expectation of service level credits. At the end of each reporting period, the Company will update the estimated transaction price related to the payment warranty including updating its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period.

Allocation of transaction price

As the Company’s processing and storage agreements contain multiple performance obligations, ASC 606 requires an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised services underlying each performance obligation. The Company has selected an adjusted market assessment approach to estimate the stand-alone selling prices of the processing services and storage services and concluded that the published list price is the price that a customer in that market would be willing to pay for those goods or services. The Company also considered the fact that all customers are charged the list prices current at the time of their enrollment where the Company has separately stated list prices for processing and storage.

Costs to Obtain a Contract

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company expensed in the period, all commissions paid to its internal and external sales representatives the Company employs and to its customers for generating new contracts. With the adoption of ASC 606 as of December 1, 2018, the Company capitalizes commissions that are incremental in obtaining customer contracts and the costs incurred to fulfill a customer contract if those costs are not within the scope of another topic within the accounting literature and meet the specified criteria. These costs are deferred in other current or long-term assets and are expensed to selling, general and administrative expenses as the Company satisfies the performance obligations by transferring the service to the customer. These assets will be periodically assessed for impairment. As a practical expedient, the Company elected to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining its annual contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the asset recognized would have been one year.

The Company has determined that payments under the Company’s refer-a-friend program (“RAF program”) are incremental costs of obtaining a contract as they provide an incentive for existing customers to refer new customers to the Company and is referred to as commission. The amount paid under the RAF program (either through issuance of credits to customers or check payments) which exceeds the typical commission payment to a sales representative is recorded as a reduction to revenue under ASC 606. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company has recorded $6,643 commission payments to customers under the RAF program as a reduction to revenue. As of December 1, 2018, the Company capitalized $329,231 in incremental contract acquisition costs related to contracts that were not completed, net of the cumulative amortization expense of $66,533 through the adoption date. The Company did not record any impairment losses in relation to costs capitalized. For the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company capitalized additional contract acquisition costs of $20,954, net of amortization expense.

b)	Public banking revenue

The Company sells and provides units not likely to be of therapeutic use for research to qualified organizations and companies operating under Institutional Review Board approval. Control is transferred at the point in time when the shipment has occurred, at which time, the Company records revenue.

c)	Licensee and royalty income

Licensee and royalty income consist of royalty income earned on the processing and storage of cord blood stem cell specimens by an affiliate where the Company has a License and Royalty Agreement. The Company records revenue from processing and storage of specimens and pursuant to agreements with licensees. The Company records the royalty revenue in same period that the related processing and storage is being completed by the affiliate.

d)	Product Revenue

The Company records revenue from the sale of the PrepaCyte CB product line upon shipment of the product to the Company’s customers.

e)	Shipping and handling

The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to account for shipping and handling activities performed after the control of a good has been transferred to the customer as a fulfillment cost. Shipping and handling costs that the Company incurs are therefore expensed and included in cost of sales.

The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the timing of revenue recognition for any of the Company’s revenue streams.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by products and services:


	Three months ended

The following table provides information about assets and liabilities from contracts with customers:


	February 28, 2019		At Adoption
Contract assets (sales commissions)	$	345,757	$	329,231
Accounts receivables	$	5,694,162	$	5,867,335
Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)	$	8,266,997	$	8,365,284
Long-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)	$	21,124,200	$	20,317,231

The Company, in general, requires the customer to pay for processing and storage services at the time of processing. Contract assets include deferred contract acquisition costs, which will be amortized along with the associated revenue. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are realized with the associated revenue recognized under the contract. Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from clients that have enrolled and processed in the umbilical cord blood stem cell processing and storage programs related to renewals of annual plans and amounts due from license affiliates, and sublicensee territories. The Company did not have asset impairment charges related to contract assets in the three months ended February 28, 2019.

The following table presents changes in the Company’s contract assets and liabilities during the three months ended February 28, 2019:


	Balance at December 1, 2018		Additions		Deductions			Balance at February 28, 2019
Contract assets (sales commissions)	$	329,231	$	20,954	$	(4,428	)	$	345,757
Accounts receivables		5,867,335		9,017,603		(9,190,776	)		5,694,162
Contract liabilities (deferred revenue)		28,682,515		4,467,979		(3,759,297	)		29,391,197

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of uncollateralized amounts due from clients that have enrolled and processed in the umbilical cord blood stem cell processing and storage programs and amounts due from license affiliates, and sublicensee territories. Accounts receivable are due within 30 days and are stated at amounts net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, and the client’s current ability to pay its obligations. Therefore, if the financial condition of the Company’s clients were to deteriorate beyond the estimates, the Company may have to increase the allowance for doubtful accounts which could have a negative impact on earnings. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, (see Note 2), the Company has an agreement with Duke University (“Duke”) expiring on January 31, 2020 for Duke to receive, process, and store cord blood units for the Public Cord Blood Bank (“Duke Services”). As of February 28, 2019, the Company had 5,974 cord blood units in inventory. These units are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs include the cost of collecting, transporting, processing and storing the unit. Costs charged by Duke for their Duke Services are based on a monthly fixed fee for storing 12 blood units per month. The Company computes the cost per unit for these Duke Services and capitalizes the unit cost on all blood units shipped and stored in a year at Duke. If the Company ships and stores less than 144 blood units with Duke in a one-year period, a portion of these fixed costs are expensed and included in facility operating costs. Certain costs of collection incurred, such as the cost of collection staff and transportation costs incurred to ship Public Bank units from hospitals to the stem cell laboratory are allocated to banked units based on an average cost method. Costs incurred related to cord blood units that cannot be sold are expensed in the period incurred and are included in facility operating costs in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company records a reserve against inventory for units which have been processed and frozen but may not ultimately become distributable (see Note 4).

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $1,634,000 and $1,634,000 as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively, as the Company does not believe it is “more likely than not” that all future income tax benefits will be realized. When the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred income tax assets that can be realized, the valuation allowance is adjusted with a corresponding impact to income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. The ultimate realization of the Company’s deferred income tax assets depends upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the tax attributes. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company projects future levels of taxable income. This assessment requires significant judgment. The Company examines the evidence related to the recent history of losses, the economic conditions in which the Company operates and forecasts and projections to make that determination.

The Company recorded U.S. income taxes of approximately $105,000 and $3,203,000 during the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, respectively. Included in the $3,203,000 tax expense for the three months ended February 28, 2018 is approximately $2,985,000 of expense related to the reduction of the federal tax rate to 21% as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The decrease in the federal tax rate caused a decrease in the Company’s deferred tax asset which resulted in an increase in the income tax expense.

The Company records foreign income taxes withheld from installment payments of non-refundable up-front license fees and royalty income earned on the processing and storage of cord blood stem cell specimens in geographic areas where the Company has license agreements. The Company recognized approximately $0 and $0 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, respectively, of foreign income tax expense. Foreign income tax expense is included in income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Increases or decreases to the unrecognized tax benefits could result from management’s belief that a position can or cannot be sustained upon examination based on subsequent information or potential lapse of the applicable statute of limitation for certain tax positions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. For the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, the Company had no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the realizability of its long-lived assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment, such as reductions in demand or when significant economic slowdowns are present. Reviews are performed to determine whether the carrying value of an asset is impaired, based on comparisons to undiscounted expected future cash flows. If this comparison indicates that there is impairment and carrying value is in excess of fair value, the impaired asset is written down to fair value, which is typically calculated using: (i) quoted market prices or (ii) discounted expected future cash flows utilizing a discount rate. The Company did not note any impairment for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the assets acquired from Cord:Use (Note 2) over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable assets acquired. The annual assessment of the reporting unit is performed as of September 1st, and an assessment is performed at other times if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value. Step one of the impairment assessment compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value and if the fair value exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value exceeds the carrying value then goodwill is not impaired; otherwise, an impairment loss would be recorded by the amount the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value. As of February 28, 2019, and November 30, 2018, goodwill, is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at $1,941,411 and $1,941,411.

Stock Compensation

As of February 28, 2018, the Company has two stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s stock-based employee compensation plan that became effective December 1, 2011 was approved by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting. The Company recognized approximately $139,000 and $556,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the related awards. Under the fair value recognition guidance of stock-based compensation accounting rules, stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of service-based vesting condition and performance-based vesting condition stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For stock option awards with only service-based vesting conditions and graded vesting features, the Company recognizes stock compensation expense based on the graded-vesting method. To value awards with market-based vesting conditions the Company uses a binomial valuation model. The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards with market-based vesting conditions on a graded-vesting basis over the derived service period calculated by the binomial valuation model. The use of these valuation models involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period.

The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment and to the extent that actual results or updated estimates differ from current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period they become known. The Company considered many factors when estimating forfeitures, including the recipient groups and historical experience. Actual results and future changes in estimates may differ substantially from current estimates.

The Company issues performance-based equity awards which vest upon the achievement of certain financial performance goals, including revenue and income targets. Determining the appropriate amount to expense based on the anticipated achievement of the stated goals requires judgment, including forecasting future financial results. The estimate of the timing of the expense recognition is revised periodically based on the probability of achieving the required performance targets and adjustments are made as appropriate. The cumulative impact of any revision is reflected in the period of the change. If the financial performance goals are not met, the award does not vest, so no compensation cost is recognized and any previously stock-recognized stock-based compensation expense is reversed.

The Company issues equity awards with market-based vesting conditions which vest upon the achievement of certain stock price targets. If the awards are forfeited prior to the completion of the derived service period, any recognized compensation is reversed. If the awards are forfeited after the completion of the derived service period, the compensation cost is not reversed, even if the awards never vest.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management uses a fair value hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of financial instruments is estimated based on market trading information, where available. Absent published market values for an instrument or other assets, management uses observable market data to arrive at its estimates of fair value. Management believes that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company believes that the fair value of its Revenue Sharing Agreements (”RSA”) liability recorded on the balance sheet is between the recorded book value and up to the Company’s previous settlement experience, due to the various terms and conditions associated with each RSA.

The Company uses an accounting standard that defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount 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. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:


Level 1		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2		Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy:

Total	$	4,282,975	$	—		—	$	4,282,975

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these items, as well as the general classification of such items pursuant to the fair value hierarchy:

Trading Securities – Fair values for these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For trading securities, there was ($34,000) in unrealized holding losses recorded in other income and expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended February 28, 2018.

Available-for-sale securities - These investments are classified as available for sale and consist of marketable equity securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time. Investments are stated at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains or losses on disposition of investments are computed using the first in, first out (FIFO) method and reported as income or loss in the period of disposition in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). For available-for-sale securities, there was approximately $119,000 in unrealized holding gains, net of tax, reported as comprehensive gain on the accompanying statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended February 28, 2018.

Marketable securities - Effective December 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, which requires equity securities with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized through net income. Such securities are no longer reflected as trading or available-for-sale but are noted as marketable securities. As a result of this accounting change, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of approximately $341,000 in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit as of the date of adoption. Prior periods have not been restated for the impact of this accounting change. There was ($67,000) in unrealized holding losses recorded in other income and expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended February 28, 2019.

Contingent consideration - The contingent consideration is the earnout that Cord:Use is entitled to from the Company’s sale of the public cord blood inventory from and after closing. See Note 2. The estimated fair value of the contingent earnout was determined using a monte carlo analysis examining the frequency and mean value of the resulting earnout payments. The resulting value captures the risk associated with the form of the payout structure. The risk-neutral method is applied, resulting in a value that captures the risk associated with the form of the payout structure and the projection risk. The carrying amount of the liability may fluctuate significantly and actual amounts paid may be materially different from the estimated value of the liability.

Product Warranty and Cryo-Cell Cares^TM Program

In December 2005, the Company began providing its customers that enrolled after December 2005 a payment warranty under which the Company agrees to pay $50,000 to its client if the umbilical cord blood product retrieved is used for a stem cell transplant for the donor or an immediate family member and fails to engraft, subject to various restrictions. Effective February 1, 2012, the Company increased the $50,000 payment warranty to a $75,000 payment warranty to all of its new clients. Effective June 1, 2017, the Company increased the payment warranty to $100,000 to all new clients who choose the premium processing method, Prepacyte CB. Additionally, under the Cryo-Cell CaresTM program, the Company will pay $10,000 to the client to offset personal expenses if the umbilical cord blood product is used for bone marrow reconstitution in a myeloblative transplant procedure. The product warranty and the Cryo-Cell Cares program are available to clients who enroll under this structure for as long as the specimen is stored with the Company. The Company has not experienced any claims under the warranty program nor has it incurred costs related to these warranties.

As discussed above, the Company has determined that the payment warranty represents variable consideration payable to the customer. Upon the adoption of ASC 606, the Company has concluded the payment warranty be fully constrained under the most likely amount method, therefore, the transaction price does not reflect any expectation of service level credits at February 28, 2019. At the end of each reporting period, the Company shall update the estimated transaction price related to the payment wuarantee including updating its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This update addresses how a customer should account for the costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement (also referred to as a “hosting arrangement”). Entities should account for costs associated with implementing a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract in the same way as accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain software for internal use using the guidance in Topic 350-40. The amendments address when costs should be capitalized rather than expensed, the term to use when amortizing capitalized costs, and how to evaluate the unamortized portion of these capitalized implementation costs for impairment. The ASU also includes guidance on how to present implementation costs in the financial statements and creates additional disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update relates to the impacts of the tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The guidance permits the reclassification of certain income tax effects of the Act from Other Comprehensive Income to Retained Earnings (stranded tax effects). The guidance also requires certain new disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may adopt the guidance using one of two transition methods; retrospective to each period (or periods) in which the income tax effects of the Act related to the items remaining in Other Comprehensive Income are recognized or at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizations that lease assets with lease terms of more than 12 months to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on their balance sheets. It also requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This update requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, and eliminates the requirement for public entities to disclose

the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for the accounting guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option. The impact of the new standard for the Company will be that equity securities with a readily determinable fair value will no longer be classified as available for sale securities. The changes in fair value of these securities will be included in income from operations rather than comprehensive income on the Company’s financial statements. Effective December 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of approximately $341,000 in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit for the net of tax impact of the unrealized gain on equity securities as of the date of adoption and recognized a loss of $45,000 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the change in fair value on equity securities since adoption.

Note 2 – Acquisition

On June 11, 2018, Cryo-Cell completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets (the “Cord Purchase”) of Cord:Use Cord Blood Bank, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Cord:Use”), in accordance with the definitive Asset Purchase Agreement between Cryo-Cell and Cord:Use (the “Purchase Agreement”), including without limitation Cord:Use’s inventory of public cord blood units existing as of the closing date (the “Public Cord Blood Inventory”) and Cord:Use’s shares of common stock of Tianhe Stem Cell Biotechnologies, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Tianhe Capital Stock”). Cord:Use was in the business of public and private cord blood and tissue, collection, processing, storage and banking.

The aggregate consideration payable at closing under the Purchase Agreement was $14,000,000, with $10,500,000 paid in cash and the balance paid through the delivery to Seller of 465,426 shares of Cryo-Cell’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at $7.52 per share. In addition, Cryo-Cell assumed certain limited liabilities incurred by Cord:Use in connection with its business that were unpaid as of the closing date and that directly relate to the services to be provided after closing by Cryo-Cell. Cryo-Cell also assumed certain of Cord:Use’s contracts and the obligations arising therefrom after the closing.

Additionally, Cord:Use is entitled to an earnout from Cryo-Cell’s sale of the public cord blood inventory from and after closing. Each calendar year after the closing, Cryo-Cell will pay to Cord:Use 75% of all gross revenues, net of any returns, received from the sale of public cord blood inventory in excess of $500,000. Such payments will be made quarterly, within 30 days of the end of the last month of each calendar quarter, until the public cord blood inventory is exhausted. In addition, each calendar year after closing, until the public cord blood inventory is exhausted, for every $500,000 of retained gross revenues, net of any returns, received and retained by Cryo-Cell in excess of the initial $500,000 retained by Cryo-Cell during such year, Cryo-Cell will deliver $200,000 worth of Cryo-Cell Common stock to Cord:Use, up to an aggregate value of $5,000,000. Cord:Use is also entitled to a portion of the gross profits generated, or deemed to have been generated, by Cryo-Cell from its ownership of the Tianhe Capital Stock.

The Company incurred $580,000 in costs associated with the acquisition of Cord:Use.

The following summarizes the fair value of the consideration of the Acquisition as of the purchase date:

The Company has not completed its assignment of goodwill to the segment reporting units. Goodwill includes the fair value of the assembled workforce. The fair value of the assembled workforce was estimated by applying a cost approach, representing a level 2 measurement. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The property and equipment are stated at an estimate of fair value.

The Tiahne capital stock is an investment that is valued based on fair value. Cord:Use had a supply and equity participation agreement with Tiahne who is engaged in medical and life science research that involves the use of stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood units in clinical trials for humans.

The fair value of the company brand and customer relationships were estimated by applying an income approach, representing a level 3 measurement. The fair value estimates are based on (1) an assumed discount rate of 19%, (2) long-term sustainable growth rate of 3%, (3) market royalty rate of 1% and (4) one and thirty-year lives for the brand and customer relationships, respectively.

The fair values of the assets acquired includes public cord blood banking inventory of $16,037,957 which the Company expects to sell to outside customers. The Company also acquired accounts receivable of $188,019 and prepaid expenses of $68,867.

The fair values of the customer relationships reflect the anticipated cash flows over their expected lives.

The fair value of deferred revenue is valued based on the cost method. Deferred revenues are pre-payment fees for future storage of umbilical cord blood and/or cord tissue specimens. The short- and long-term deferred revenue is $330,508 and $1,074,898, respectively.

The valuations are not final and are subject to revision for a period not to exceed one-year after the acquisition date as information relative to the acquisition date fair values become available.

Note 3 – Segment Reporting

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company purchased the assets and assumed contracts that Cord:Use used in the operation of its cord blood business (See Note 2). The Company evaluated and determined that this acquisition qualifies as a separate segment.

The Company is organized in three reportable segments:

The cellular processing and cryogenic storage of umbilical cord blood and cord tissue stem cells for family use. Revenue is generated from the initial processing and testing fees and the annual storage fees charged each year for storage (the “Umbilical cord blood and cord tissue stem cell service”).

The manufacture of Prepacyte® CB units, the processing technology used to process umbilical cord blood stem cells. Revenue is generated from the sales of the Prepacyte® CB units (the “Prepacyte®-CB”).

The cellular processing and cryogenic storage of umbilical cord blood stem cells for public use. Revenue is generated from the sale of the cord blood units to the National Marrow Donor Program (“NMDP”) , which distributes the cord blood units to transplant centers located in the United States, and around the world.

The following table shows, by segment: net revenue, cost of sales, depreciation and amortization, operating profit, interest expense, and income tax (expense) benefit for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018:

Note 5 – Intangible Assets

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent and trademark applications. If a future economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or trademark or an alternate future use is available to the Company, such costs are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the patent or trademark. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit involves considerable management judgment. A different conclusion could result in the reduction of the carrying value of these assets.

Intangible assets were as follows as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018:


	Useful lives	February 28, 2019			November 30, 2018

For the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company excluded the effect of 51,636 outstanding stock options from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of potentially dilutive shares from the outstanding stock options would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended February 28, 2018, the Company excluded the effect of all outstanding stock options from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of potentially dilutive shares from the outstanding stock options would be anti-dilutive.

Note 8 – Stockholder’s Equity

The Company maintains the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) under which it has reserved 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, stock-appreciation rights (commonly referred to as “SARs”) and stock awards (i.e. performance options to purchase shares and performance units). As of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, there were 372,500 and 380,000 options issued, but not yet exercised, under the 2006 Plan, respectively. As of February 28, 2019, there were 0 shares available for future issuance under the 2006 Plan.

The Company maintains the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) which became effective December 1, 2011 as approved by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting on July 10, 2012. The 2012 Plan originally reserved 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, SARs, and other stock awards (i.e. performance shares and performance units). In May 2012, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2012 Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance to 2,500,000 shares. As of February 28, 2019, there were 621,365 service-based options issued, 129,729 service-based restricted common shares granted, 823,415 performance-based and 116,240 market-based restricted common shares granted under the 2012 Plan. As of February 28, 2019, there were 0 shares available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan. In March 2018, the Company received notice that shares of the Company’s common stock issued to certain executive officers pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan had purportedly been issued in excess of the shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. The Company has established an independent committee of the Board of Directors to review this issue.

Service-based vesting condition options

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the most recent period commensurate with the expected life of the Company’s stock options. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected term of options granted to employees is calculated, in accordance with the “simplified method” for “plain vanilla” stock options allowed under GAAP. Expected dividends are based on the historical trend of the Company not issuing dividends.

There were no options granted during the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, respectively.

Stock option activity for the three months ended February 28, 2019, was as follows:


				Weighted		Weighted Average
				Average		Remaining		Aggregate
	Options			Exercise Price		Contractual Life (Years)		Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at November 30, 2018		1,001,365		$	2.77		3.97	$	4,580,967

Outstanding at February 28, 2019		993,865		$	2.78		3.75	$	3,827,501

Exercisable at February 28, 2019		970,821		$	2.68		3.73	$	3,813,041

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total value of the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on either February 28, 2019 or November 30, 2018, as applicable. The intrinsic value of the Company’s stock options changes based on the closing price of the Company’s stock.

For the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company issued 2,500 common shares to an option holder who exercised options for $5,700.

For the three months ended February 28, 2018, the Company issued 1,250 common shares to option holders who exercised options for $2,250.

The Company believes the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and it intends to contest the action vigorously. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to estimate the loss or the range of possible loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome, as the ultimate resolution of the complaint is uncertain at this time. No amounts have been accrued as of February 28, 2019.

In addition, from time to time the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, contract disputes and other claims in the normal course of its business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of current matters should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position or results of operations. It is possible, however, that there could be an unfavorable ultimate outcome for or resolution which could be material to the Company’s results of operations for a particular quarterly reporting period. Litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail. The Company does not include an estimate of legal fees and other related defense costs in its estimate of loss contingencies.

Overview

The Company is engaged in cellular processing and cryogenic storage, with a current focus on the collection and preservation of umbilical cord blood stem cells for family use. The Company’s principal sources of revenues are service fees for cord blood processing and preservation for new customers and recurring annual storage fees. Effective April 2016, the Company offers two pricing models, a standard plan and premium plan. The Company charges fees of $1,675 for the standard plan and $2,025 for the premium plan to new clients for the collection kit, processing, testing and return medical courier service, with discounts in the case of multiple children from the same family and in other circumstances. The Company charges an annual storage fee of $175 for new clients that enroll in the standard and premium plans; storage fees for existing customers depend on the contracts with such customers. The Company continues to offer a one-time payment plan for 21 years of storage and a life-time payment plan, pursuant to which the client is charged $4,580 for the standard plan and $4,930 for the premium plan and $5,595 for the standard plan and $6,595 for the premium plan, respectively, less discounts in the case of multiple children from the same family and in other circumstances. The one-time plan includes the collection kit, processing and testing, return medical courier service and 21 years of pre-paid storage fees. The life-time plan includes the collection kit, processing and testing, return medical courier service and pre-paid storage fees for the life of the client. The Company also receives other income from licensing fees and royalties from global affiliates.

Biotechnologies, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Tianhe Capital Stock”). Cord:Use was in the business of public and private cord blood and tissue, collection, processing, storage and banking. The aggregate consideration payable at closing under the Purchase Agreement was $14,000,000, with $10,500,000 paid in cash and the balance paid through the delivery to Seller of 465,426 shares of Cryo-Cell’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at $7.52 per share. In addition, Cryo-Cell assumed certain limited liabilities incurred by Cord:Use in connection with its business that were unpaid as of the closing date and that directly relate to the services to be provided after closing by Cryo-Cell. Cryo-Cell also assumed certain of Cord:Use’s contracts and the obligations arising therefrom after the closing. Additionally, Cord:Use is entitled to an earnout from Cryo-Cell’s sale of the Public Cord Blood Inventory from and after closing. Each calendar year after the closing, Cryo-Cell is required to pay to Cord:Use 75% of all gross revenues, net of any returns, received from the sale of public cord blood inventory in excess of $500,000. Such payments are to be made quarterly, within 30 days of the end of the last month of each calendar quarter, until the public cord blood inventory is exhausted. In addition, each calendar year after closing, until the public cord blood inventory is exhausted, for every $500,000 of retained gross revenues, net of any returns, received and retained by Cryo-Cell in excess of the initial $500,000 retained by Cryo-Cell during such year, Cryo-Cell is to deliver $200,000 worth of Cryo-Cell Common stock to Cord:Use, up to an aggregate value of $5,000,000. Cord:Use is also entitled to a portion of the gross profits generated, or deemed to have been generated, by Cryo-Cell from its ownership of the Tianhe Capital Stock.

During the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company’s revenues increased 20% as compared to the same period in 2018. The Company reported net income of $276,000 or $0.04 per basic common share for the three months ended February 28, 2019 compared to a net loss of approximately ($2,500,000), or ($0.36) per basic common share for the three months ended February 28, 2018. Net income for the three months ended February 28, 2019 resulted in a 20% increase in revenue offset by a 54% increase in cost of sales and a 4% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2018 principally resulted from an 8% increase in revenue offset by a 6% increase in cost of sales, a 16% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, and approximately $2,985,000 of income tax expense related to the reduction of the federal tax rate to 21% as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The decrease in the federal tax rate caused a decrease in the Company’s deferred tax asset which resulted in an increase in the income tax expense.

At February 29, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,075,691. The Company’s cash increased by $1,036,000 during the first three months of fiscal 2019. Cash provided by operations was approximately $1,787,000 which was offset by approximately $775,000 used to repay the note payable. On May 20, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (“Agreement”) with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“TCB”) for a term loan of $8.0 million in senior credit facilities. The proceeds of the term loan were used by the Company to fund repurchases of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, on May 20, 2016, TCB advanced the Company $100.00. On July 1, 2016, TCB advanced the remaining principal amount of $7,999,900 per a promissory note dated May 20, 2016 between the Company and TCB.

On August 26, 2016, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement with TCB. Pursuant to terms of the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, on August 26, 2016, TCB made an additional advance to the Company in principal amount of $2,133,433 per an Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated August 26, 2016 between the Company and TCB. The proceeds of the term loan were used by the Company to fund the extinguishment of some of the revenue sharing agreements.

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with TCB. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, TCB made an additional advance to the Company in principal amount of $9,000,000 per an Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated June 11, 2018 between the Company and TCB in the principal amount of $15,500,000. The proceeds were used to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Cord:Use purchase. See Note 2.

Consistent with its fiduciary duties, the board of directors and management has reviewed and will continue to review strategic options and opportunities for the Company, in order to maximize shareholder value. These options may include, but are not limited to, strategic mergers or acquisitions, investments in other public and/or private companies, repurchases of RSA interests, a deregistration of the Company’s common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or a going-private transaction. These options may or may not be related to the Company’s current business. In order to undertake any of the aforementioned activities, the Company may take on substantial debt or equity capital which could increase the risk of investment in the Company.

Results of Operations

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2019 were $7,495,112 compared to $6,228,118 for the same period in 2018, a 20% increase. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an 18% increase in processing and storage fees.

Processing and Storage Fees. The increase in processing and storage fee revenue is attributable to an 18% increase in recurring annual storage fee revenue and a 27% increase in the number of new domestic cord blood specimens processed in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 versus the same period in 2018.

Public Banking Revenue. For the three months ended February 28, 2019, revenue from public banking was $134,365 compared to $0 for the three months ended February 28, 2018.

Product Revenue. For the three months ended February 28, 2019, revenue from the PrepaCyte CB product sales was $25,720 compared to $28,051 for the three months ended February 28, 2018.

Licensee Income. Licensee income for the three months ended February 28, 2019, was $0 as compared to $0 for the 2018 period.

Per the License and Royalty Agreement with Lifecell, there is a $1,000,000 cap on the amount of royalties due to the Company per year and a $10,000,000 cap on the amount of royalties due to the Company for the term of the License and Royalty Agreement. The cap(s) are calculated based on Lifecell’s fiscal year end, March 31^st. Since inception of the License and Royalty Agreement, the Company has recorded $7,000,000 in royalty income due under the terms of the License and Royalty Agreement, of which, Lifecell has paid the Company $6,600,000 as of February 28, 2019. The balance of $400,000 is reflected as Accounts Receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $2,466,227 as compared to $1,601,508 for the same period in 2018, representing a 54% increase. Cost of sales includes wages and supplies associated with process enhancements to the existing production procedures and quality systems in the processing of cord blood specimens at the Company’s facility in Oldsmar, Florida and depreciation expense of approximately $48,000 and $24,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, respectively. Also included in Cost of Sales is $160,006 and $46,185 related to the costs associated with production of the Prepacyte®-CB processing and storage system for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, respectively. Also included in Cost of Sales is $267,605 and $0 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2017, respectively, related to the public banking due to the Purchase Agreement with Cord:Use. The increase in cost of sales for the three months ended February 28, 2019 versus February 28, 2018 is due to the increased costs due to the public cord blood bank and the increased costs associated with the 27% increase in the number of new domestic cord blood specimens processed for the three months ended February 28, 2019 versus February 28, 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2019 were $3,745,302 as compared to $3,589,519 for the 2018 period, representing a 4% increase. These expenses are primarily comprised of expenses for consumer advertising, salaries and wages for personnel and professional fees. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due in part to an increase in selling and marketing expenses of $145,000 or 10% and a $171,000 increase in bad debt expense.

Research, Development and Related Engineering Expenses. Research, development and related engineering expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2019 were $5,884 as compared to $13,409 for the three months ended February 28, 2018.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and Amortization (not included in Cost of Sales) for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $56,980 compared to $36,545 for the 2018 period.

Change in the Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. Change in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $367,057 compared to $0 for the 2018 period. The contingent consideration is the earnout that Cord:Use is entitled to from the Company’s sale of the public cord blood inventory from and after closing, described above. The contingent consideration was remeasured to fair value as of February 28, 2019. The estimated fair value of the contingent earnout was determined using a monte carlo analysis examining the frequency and mean value of the resulting earnout payments. The resulting value captures the risk associated with the form of the payout structure. The risk-neutral method is applied, resulting in a value that captures the risk associated with the form of the payout structure and the projection risk. The carrying amount of the liability may fluctuate significantly and actual amounts paid may be materially different from the estimated value of the liability.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $406,925 compared to $280,997 for the three months ended February 28, 2018, of which, $210,138 and $120,529, respectively, related to the credit and subordination agreements with Texas Capital Bank, National Association as described in Note 4. The remaining interest expense is mainly comprised of amounts due to the parties to the Company’s revenue sharing agreements (“RSAs”) based on the Company’s storage revenue collected.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $104,667 compared to $3,202,667 for the three months ended February 28, 2018. Included in the $3,203,667 tax expense for the three months ended February 28, 2018 is approximately $2,985,000 of expense related to the reduction of the federal tax rate to 21% as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The decrease in the federal tax rate caused a decrease in the Company’s deferred tax asset which resulted in an increase in the income tax expense.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future taxable income prior to the expiration of the tax attributes. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we must project future levels of taxable income. This assessment requires significant judgment. We examine the evidence related to the recent history of tax losses, the economic conditions in which we operate and our forecasts and projections to make that determination.

The Company records foreign income taxes withheld from installment payments of non-refundable up-front license fees and royalty income earned on the processing and storage of cord blood stem cell specimens in geographic areas where the Company has license agreements. The Company recorded $0 and $0 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, respectively, of foreign income tax expense, which is included in income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 26, 2016, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement with TCB. Pursuant to terms of the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, on August 26, 2016, TCB made an additional advance to the Company in principal amount of $2,133,433 per an Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated August 26, 2016 between the Company and TCB. The additional proceeds of the term loan were used by the Company to fund the extinguishment of revenue sharing agreements.

Prior to the loans, the Company’s principal source of cash has been from sales of its umbilical cord blood program to customers and royalties from licensees.

At February 28, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,075,691 as compared to $6,040,033 at November 30, 2018. The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended February 28, 2019 was primarily attributable to the following:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $1,786,863 which was primarily attributable to the Company’s operating results and an increase in the Company’s new clients choosing the prepaid storage plans versus the annual storage fee plan.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended February 28, 2018 was $1,691,863 which was primarily attributable to the Company’s operating results and an increase in the Company’s new clients choosing the prepaid storage plans versus the annual storage fee plan.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $18,094, which was primarily attributable to sales and purchases of marketable securities and other investments in the amount of $67,179 offset by the purchases of property and equipment of $49,085.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2018 was $481,866, which was primarily attributable to the purchases of property, equipment and intangibles of $453,704 and by the sales and purchases of marketable securities and other investments in the amount of $28,162.

Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $769,299 which was primarily attributable to the payments of $774,999 to repay the note payable described above offset by the receipt of $5,700 from the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2018 was $497,750 which was primarily attributable to the payments of $500,000 to repay the note payable described above offset by the receipt of $2,250 from the exercise of stock options.

The Company does not have a line of credit.

The Company anticipates making discretionary capital expenditures of approximately $500,000 over the next twelve months for software enhancements and purchases of property and equipment. The Company anticipates funding future property and equipment purchases with cash-on-hand and cash flows from future operations.

The Company anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to fund its known cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Cash flows from operations will depend primarily upon increasing revenues from sales of its umbilical cord blood and cord tissue cellular storage services and managing discretionary expenses. If expected increases in revenues are not realized, or if expenses are higher than anticipated, the Company may be required to reduce or defer cash expenditures or otherwise manage its cash resources during the next 12 months so that they are sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs for that period. In addition, the Company may consider seeking equity or debt financing if deemed appropriate for its plan of operations, and if such financing can be obtained on acceptable terms. There is no assurance that any reductions in expenditures, if necessary, will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s business operations, including sales activities and the development of new services and technology.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. For a full discussion of our accounting policies please refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates include: recognition of revenue and the related allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, income taxes and license and revenue sharing agreements. We continually evaluate our judgments, estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on the terms of underlying agreements, historical experience and other factors that we believe are reasonable based on the circumstances, the results of which form our management’s basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their most recent review, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to ensure that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. In March 2018, the Company received notice that shares of the Company’s common stock issued to certain executive officers pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan had purportedly been issued in excess of the shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. The Company has established an independent committee of the Board of Directors to review this issue. As part of this research, management is reviewing the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s 10-K filed February 28, 2019, the Company’s principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were not effective, due to a material weakness surrounding the Company’s identification and application of the appropriate accounting treatment for deferred discounts related to prepaid storage for customer contracts. The Company’s control over the process was not conducive to identify the timeliness of recording the discounts. Management has undertaken steps to design and implement more effective internal controls, including the implementation of a more comprehensive review process of discount amortization procedures. Management will address in the Company’s second quarter Form 10-Q.

The Company has not made an amended 8-K filing with respect to the Current Reports on Form 8-K that was filed on July 16, 2015 to announce the acquisition of Prepacyte. Accordingly, the Company is not deemed a timely filer. Management intends to subsequently make this amended 8-K filing to include the required pre-acquisition financial statements of Prepacyte as well as the required pro forma financial information.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described in the previous paragraph were implemented during the quarter ended November 30, 2018 and continued to be remediated during the quarter ended February 28, 2019.

Other than as disclosed in “Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures” above with the respect to the matters reviewed subsequent to the balance sheet date, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended February 28, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Beginning December 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We are in the process of implementing changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, new training, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our co-CEOs and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On December 3, 2015, a complaint styled Gary T. Brotherson, M.D., et al. v. Cryo-Cell International, Inc., Case No. 15-007461-CI, Circuit Court, Sixth Judicial Circuit, Pinellas County, Florida, was served on the Company, naming it as defendant and alleging, among other things, that the Company breached certain agreements with plaintiffs and seeking damages in excess of $15,000, the jurisdictional amount of the court in which the action is pending. On January 12, 2016, the Company served its answer, affirmative defenses, and counterclaim against the plaintiffs. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and it intends to contest the action vigorously. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to estimate the loss or the range of possible loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome, as the ultimate resolution of the complaint is uncertain at this time. No amounts have been accrued as of February 28, 2019.
