NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Cord Blood America, Inc. ("CBAI" or the “Company”), formerly D&A Lending, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Florida on October 12, 1999. In October, 2009, CBAI re-located its headquarters from Los Angeles, California to Las Vegas, Nevada. CBAI's wholly-owned subsidiaries include Cord Partners, Inc., CorCell Companies, Inc., CorCell, Ltd., (Cord Partners, Inc., CorCell Companies, Inc. and CorCell, Ltd. are sometimes referred to herein collectively as “Cord”), CBA Properties, Inc. ("Properties"), and Career Channel, Inc. formerly D/B/A Rainmakers International ("Rain"). In September 2010, CBAI purchased a majority interest in Biocordcell Argentina S.A. (“Bio”). CBAI and its subsidiaries engage in the following business activities:
● | CBAI and Cord specialize in providing private cord blood and cord tissue stem cell storage services to families throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. |
● | Biocordcell Argentina S.A. specializes in providing private cord blood stem cell storage to families in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. See Note 5. Discontinued Operations |
● | Properties was formed to hold corporate trademarks and other intellectual property. |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary in the event CBAI cannot continue as a going concern.
7
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements of CBAI and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has experienced recurring net losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $53.46 million as of September 30, 2014. In addition, CBAI has notes and loans payable of approximately $1.49 million as of September, 2014. The Company has no available common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2014, and as such, the Company may not be able to issue common stock to retire debt until such time as the shareholders approve an increase in the number of shares authorized. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about CBAI's ability to continue as a going concern.
Since inception, the Company has financed cash flow requirements through the issuance of common stock and warrants for cash, services and loans. However, over the past nine quarters, the Company has reduced operating expenses, ended investment in its unconsolidated affiliates and Stellacure, and received no additional funding from outside sources for working capital. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014 the Company had positive cash flow from operations of $0.96 million. The Company plans to continue to operate on its cash flows from operations by aligning its expenses with its revenues. If cash flows from operations are significantly less than projected, then the Company would need to either cut back on its budgeted spending, look to outside sources for additional funding or a combination of the two. The Company currently does not have any financing agreements in place for additional funding. If the Company is unable to access sufficient funds when needed, obtain additional external funding or generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our products, it could be forced to curtail or possibly cease operations.
In view of these conditions, CBAI's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to meet its financing requirements, and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event CBAI cannot continue as a going concern.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CBAI and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, Cord and Biocordcell Argentina S.A. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments for enrollment in the program and processing of umbilical cord blood and cord tissue by customers whose samples have not yet been collected, as well as the pro-rata share of annual storage fees for customers whose samples were stored during the year.
Valuation of Derivative Instruments
ASC 815-40 (formerly SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities"), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 (formerly EITF 00-19 "Accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company's own stock") to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. At September 30, 2014, the Company adjusted its derivative liability to its fair value, and reflected the change in fair value, in its consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
8
Revenue Recognition
CBAI recognizes revenue under the provisions of ASC 605-25 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 “Revenue Recognition”). CBAI provides a combination of products and services to customers. This combination arrangement is evaluated under ASC 605-25-25 (previously Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables"). ASC 605-25-25 addresses certain aspects of accounting for arrangements under multiple revenue generating activities.
Cord and Bio recognize revenue from both enrollment fees and processing fees upon the completion of processing while revenue from storage fees are recognized ratably over the contractual storage period.
Franchise revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 952-605-3, according to requirements for recognizing franchise revenues after “franchise agreement” services are completed and substantially performed. Further, in accordance with ASC 952-605-25-7, the installment or cost recovery accounting method is used to account for franchise fee revenue only in those exceptional cases when revenue is collectible over an extended period and no reasonable basis exists for estimated collectability. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not recognize any franchise revenues.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances are more likely than not to reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount.
Equity Investments
Cord has a minority equity investment in China Stem Cells, Ltd., a Cayman Islands Company, a privately held company organized to conduct a stem cell storage business in China. In 2011, Cord acquired a minority equity investment in VidaPlus, an umbilical cord processing and storage company headquartered in Madrid, Spain. The Company utilizes the cost method of accounting as it owns less than 20% of the outstanding common stock and only has the ability to exercise nominal, not significant, influence over these companies. The cost of this investment was $204,062 and represents approximately 9.24% equity in Vidaplus. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $204,062 on the Vidaplus investments and notes receivable.
9
Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair value. Level inputs, as defined by ASC 820-10, are as follows:
● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. |
● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date. |
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at September 30, 2014 of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 699,433 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 699,433 | ||||||||
Derivative liability | $ | — | $ | — | $ | (338,647 | ) | $ | (338,647 | ) |
Derivative liability was valued under the Black-Scholes model, consistent with last year, with the following assumptions:
Risk free interest rate | 0 to 0.13 % | ||
Expected life | 0 to 1 years | ||
Dividend Yield | 0% | ||
Volatility | 0% to 108% |
The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability:
Value at December 31, 2013 | $ | 359,407 | ||
Change in value of derivative | $ | (20,760 | ) | |
Value at September 30, 2014 | $ | 338,647 |
For certain parts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and deferred revenues, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s notes receivable and notes payable approximates fair value based on the prevailing interest rates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on revenue recognition that will be applied to all contracts with customers. The update requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance will be required to be applied on a retrospective basis, using one of two methodologies, and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application not being permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Note 4: Loans Receivable
Banco Vida
Effective August 1, 2014, the Company entered into a secured promissory note with Banco Vida, whereby the Company provided a loan to Banco Vida in the amount of $75,000.
The note carries an interest rate of 8% per annum. Banco Vida is obligated to make interest-only, monthly payments for the first twelve months, commencing thirty days from the effective date, and thereafter shall repay the entirety of the principal and accrued interest pursuant to a standard 18 month amortization schedule, with the final payment being due on or before February 1, 2017.

BioCells
On September 29, 2014, the Company closed a transaction whereby it sold its ownership stake in BioCells, amounting to 50.004% of the outstanding shares of BioCells to Diego Rissola, who is the current President and Chairman of the Board of BioCells and a shareholder prior to the transaction.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
St. George Investments
On March 10, 2011, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with St. George Investments, LLC, (“St. George”) an Illinois limited liability company (the "Investor") whereby the Company issued and sold, and the Investor purchased: (i) Secured Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company in the principal amount of $1,105,500 (the "Company Note") and (ii) a Warrant to purchase common stock of the Company (the "Warrant"). The Investor paid $250,000 in cash as an initial payment to the Company and executed and delivered six separate “Secured Buyer Notes” (the “Buyer Notes”), as consideration in full for the issuance and sale of the Company Note and Warrants.
The principal amount of the Company Note is $1,105,500 ("Maturity Amount") and the Company Note is due 48 months from the issuance date of March 10, 2011. The Company Note has an interest rate of 6.0%, which would increase to a rate of 12.0% on the happening of certain Trigger Events, including but not limited to: a decline in the 10-day trailing average daily dollar volume of the common shares in the Company’s primary market to less than $30,000 of volume per day at any time; the failure by the Company or its transfer agent to deliver Conversion Shares (defined in the Company Note) within 5 days of Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (defined in the Company Note). Due to a triggering event occurring, the current interest rate is 12%. The total amount funded (in cash and notes) was $1,000,000, representing the Maturity Amount less an original issue discount of $100,500 and the payment of $5,000 to the Investor to cover its fees, with payment consisting of $250,000 advanced at closing and $750,000 in a series of six secured convertible Buyer Notes of $125,000 each, with interest rates of 5.0%. To date, St. George has paid the total amount due.
The Buyer Notes are secured by an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit (“Letter of Credit”). The warrant also contains a net exercise /cashless exercise provision. St. George may elect to convert all or part of the principal and any accrued unpaid interest on the Company Note on or before the aforementioned maturity date, subject to certain limitations. The conversion price under the Company Note is eighty percent (80%) of the average of the closing bid prices for the three (3) Trading Days (defined in the Purchase Agreement) with the lowest closing bids over the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (defined in the Company Note), subject to adjustments as set forth in the Company Note. Due to adjustments, St. George’s current conversion ratio inserts fifty-five percent (55%) in the aforementioned formula, in place of eighty percent (80%).
The Investor has also received a five year warrant entitling it to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price determined under the terms of the Warrant. The warrant also contains a net exercise /cashless exercise provision.
As of September 30, 2014 the balance due to St. George Investments was $259,530 in principal and $43,279 in accrued interest.
The Company Note, Warrant and related documentation, including any amounts owed by the Company to St. George based thereon, are in dispute and are the subject of litigation, as described more fully in Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Tonaquint, Inc.
In a transaction that closed on June 29, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Tonaquint, Inc. (“Tonaquint”) a Utah corporation whereby the Company issued and sold, and Tonaquint purchased a Secured Convertible Promissory Note of the Company in the principal amount of $1,252,000 (the "Company Note").
The Company Note was issued June 27, 2012 and is due 20 calendar months after the issuance date. The Company Note has an interest rate of 6.0%, which would increase to a rate of 18.0% on the happening of certain Events of Default (defined in the Company Note), including but not limited to: failure to pay and the failure by the Company or its transfer agent to deliver Conversion Shares (defined in the Company Note) within 3 Trading Days of the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (defined in the Company Note). Tonaquint has claimed an interest rate of 18%, which is being disputed by the Company. The total amount funded in cash at closing was $1,120,000, representing the principal amount less an original issue discount of $112,000 and the payment of $20,000 to Tonaquint to cover its fees.
13
Tonaquint has the right to convert, subject to restrictions described in the Company Note, all or a portion of the outstanding amount of the Company Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.03. So long as Tonaquint has not extinguished the Company Note in its entirety pursuant to such conversions, the Company shall make monthly payments to Tonaquint on the Company Note, through either the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock or by payment in cash, at the election of the Company. Payments commence six months from the date of issuance of the Company Note and continue until the Company Note has been paid in full. The amount of the monthly payments is the greater of (i) $100,000, plus the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest as of the applicable Installment Date (defined in the Company Note) and accrued and unpaid Late Charges (defined in the Company Note), if any, under the Company Note as of the applicable Installment Date (defined in the Company Note), and any other amounts accruing or owing to Investor under the Company Note as of such Installment Date, or (ii) the then-outstanding balance of the Company Note divided by the number of Installment Dates remaining prior to the Maturity Date.
In the event the Company is unable to make payments in cash or otherwise elects not to make a payment or payments in cash, the number of common shares delivered to the Investor upon conversion will be calculated by dividing the amount of the Company Note that is being converted by the market price of the common stock, which is defined as 80% of the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of the Company’s common stock during the twenty three (23) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date as of which such price determination is required (such as the effective date of a conversion).
As of September 30, 2014, the amount owed to Tonaquint was $1,252,000 of principal and $553,771 in accrued interest in accordance with Tonaquint’s claim which is being disputed by the Company.
The Company Note, Purchase Agreement and other related documents, including any amounts owed by the Company to Tonaquint based thereon, are in dispute and are the subject of litigation, as described more fully in Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
VidaPlus
On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire up to 51% of the capital stock in VidaPlus, an umbilical cord processing and storage company headquartered in Madrid, Spain. The Agreement is organized into three tranches; the first executed at closing with an initial investment of approximately $204,000 (150,000 Euro) for an amount equivalent to 7% as follows; 1% of share capital in initial equity or approximately $30,000 and 6% or an estimated $174,000 as a loan convertible into equity within 12 months of closing. The initial investment was secured by a Pledge Agreement on 270 VidaPlus samples that are incurring annual storage fees. The second tranche provides the opportunity for an additional 28% in share capital through monthly investments based on the number of samples processed in that month (up to a maximum of 550,000 EUR). In connection with Tranche 2, the Company has loaned VidaPlus $246,525 to date. Converting the investment from a loan into equity will take place within 24 months of the date the amount of shares due to the Company pursuant to the second tranche is calculated. The third tranche follows a similar loan to equity agreement as tranche two but for an additional 16% equity at the option of the Company (up to a maximum of 550,000 EUR). VidaPlus contracts through Stellacure and their relationship with the German Red Cross for their processing and storage.
In connection with the VidaPlus Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on January 24, 2011, the Company is obligated to make monthly loans to VidaPlus based on the number of new samples processed and up to a maximum of 550,000 Euro for each of Tranche 2 and 3 of the Agreement. Tranche 2 did contain provisions that provided the Company an option to discontinue funding if certain performance targets were not met.
In January 2012, the Company exercised its right to convert its Tranche 1 loan into 6% of the outstanding shares of VidaPlus, and as a result, the Company owned a total of 7% of the outstanding shares. At the time of the equity conversion, the Company no longer maintained its Pledge on the 270 VidaPlus samples associated with Tranche 1; however, the Company maintained a liquidation preference in VidaPlus over the money invested by the Company in VidaPlus. Additionally, the Company declined to make any further investment (loan or otherwise) to VidaPlus under whether Tranche 2, Tranche 3 or otherwise. CBAI holds a pledge over the umbilical cord blood maintenance and storage contracts between VidaPlus and certain of its customers, and all rights contained therein, including but not limited to the rights to administer those contracts and the rights to collect the revenues derived from those contracts, for 328 samples. CBAI holds that pledge until such time as it converts the monies paid to VidaPlus under Tranche 2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement into equity into Vidaplus, in accordance with the formulas set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. CBAI must make that conversion within two years of when the calculation was made as to the amount of shares to which CBAI is entitled pursuant to Tranche 2, which means that such conversion shall take place around or before February 2014. CBAI also holds a liquidation preference in VidaPlus for the money the Company invested in VidaPlus. On February 14, 2014, CBAI delivered to VidaPlus its election to convert its loan under Tranche 2 into shares of stock in VidaPlus, including Anti-Dilution shares. The Company is entitled to an additional ownership stake of approximately 2.24% in connection with the forgoing, bringing its total ownership percentage to approximately 9.24%

Patent License Agreement
PharmaStem Therapeutics claims to hold certain patents relating to the storage, expansion and use of hematopoietic stem cells. In the past several years, PharmaStem has commenced suit against numerous companies involved in cord blood collection and preservation alleging infringement of its patents. In October 2003, after a jury trial, judgment was entered against certain of our competitors and in favor of PharmaStem in one of those suits. In February 2004, PharmaStem commenced suit against Cord Partners and certain of its competitors alleging infringement of its patents. Management of Cord Partners determined to settle, rather than to litigate, this matter. As a result, PharmaStem and Cord Partners entered into a Patent License Agreement in March 2004. Pursuant to the Patent License Agreement, Cord Partners could, on a non-exclusive basis, collect, process and store cord blood utilizing PharmaStem’s claimed technology and processes allegedly covered by its patents for so long as the patents may remain in effect. Most of the patents at issue expired in 2010. PharmaStem could claim, arguendo, Cord Partners is obligated under the Patent License Agreement to pay royalties to PharmaStem of 15% of all revenues generated by Cord Partners from the collection and storage of cord blood on and after January 1, 2004. Other than, potentially royalties, which would be disputed by Cord, no amount is payable by Cord Partners to PharmaStem. All litigation between the parties was dismissed and all prior claims were released. As of 2008, Cord ceased paying all royalties to PharmaStem. The patents have been declared void under a final decision on appeal, and as such, there is no pending litigation in this matter. As of September 30, 2014, the Company included approximately $226,000 in accounts payable and $120,000 included in accrued expenses to account for this liability since 2008, though the Company disputes that it owes any royalties to Pharmastem.

Summary and Outlook of the Business
CBAI is primarily an umbilical cord blood and cord tissue stem cell processing and storage company with a particular focus on the acquisition of customers in need of family based products and services.
Cord
Services Provided By Cord
Cord’s operations provide umbilical cord blood banking and cord tissue services to expectant parents throughout all 50 United States and Puerto Rico. The Company’s corporate headquarters re-located to Las Vegas, NV from Los Angeles, CA in October 2009. Cord earns revenue through a one-time enrollment and processing fee, and through an annually recurring storage and maintenance fee. Cord processes and stores cord blood and cord tissue in its own facility. Cord provides the following services to each customer.
● | Collection Materials. A medical kit that contains all of the materials and instructions necessary for collecting the newborn’s umbilical cord blood and cord tissue at birth and packaging the unit for transportation. The kit also provides for collecting a maternal blood sample for infectious disease testing. |
● | Physician And Customer Support. 24-hour consulting services to customers as well as to physicians and labor and delivery personnel, providing any instruction necessary for the successful collection, packaging, and transportation of the cord blood and cord tissue and maternal blood samples. |
● | Transportation. Manage all logistics for transporting the cord blood and cord tissue unit to the Company’s centralized facility immediately following birth. This procedure ensures chain-of-custody control during transportation for maximum security. |
● | Comprehensive Testing. The cord blood sample is tested for stem cell concentration levels and blood type. The maternal samples are tested for infectious diseases. Cord reports these results to the newborn’s mother. |
● | Cord Blood Storage. After processing and testing, the cord blood and cord tissue unit is cryogenically frozen in a controlled manner and stored in liquid nitrogen for potential future use. Data indicates that cord blood retains viability and function for at least twenty five years when stored in this manner and theoretically could be maintained at least as long as the normal life span of an individual. |
23
Going forward, management will continue to assess business opportunities, and plans to pursue customer acquisition, primarily through organic growth.
Results of Operations for the Three-Months Ended September 30, 2014
All results from operation for the three months ended September 30, 2014 should be compared to the prior period with Note 5. Discontinued Operations referenced and the impact of the sale of Bio on such reported results.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, total revenue decreased to approximately $1.20 million from $1.49 million over the same period of 2013 related to the sale of Bio. Revenues are generated primarily from new enrollment/processing fees, recurring storage fees and tissue related product sales. For Cord, there was an increase in its total revenues from $0.96 million to $1.20 million, or a 25% increase over the prior comparative three month period. Processing fees, recurring storage fees and tissue related product sales increased 5%, 5% and 187% respectively over the prior comparative three month period. The Company remains focused on strategic organic growth which management hopes will provide sustainable operating cash flows, and, positive operating and net income.
Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 35% for the period ended September 30, 2014 compared to 32% over the same prior period of 2013. The cost of services include transportation of the umbilical cord blood and cord tissue from the hospital to the lab, direct material plus labor costs for processing and cryogenic storage, and allocated rent, utility and general administrative expenses. Gross profit decreased by approximately $0.24 million to $0.77 million for the period ending September 30, 2014 from the prior three month period of 2013. For Cord, gross profit increased from $0.68 million to $0.78 million, or 14%, for the comparative three month period. The Company anticipates that through the growth and expansion of its Cord business, tighter cost controls and continuing efficiencies in its own facilities, direct costs should decrease and gross profits should improve.
Administrative and selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $0.75 million as compared to $1.27 million for the comparative period of 2013. These expenses are primarily related to marketing/advertising, professional services, allocated facility related expenses and wages for personnel. The Company continues to evaluate its expenses and their relationship to revenues for alignment. For Cord, administrative and selling expenses increased in the three month comparative period primarily related to the ongoing legal costs associated with the Company’s litigation as described more fully in Item 1. Legal Proceedings. Depreciation and amortization are included as an administrative expense. For the three month period, depreciation and amortization was $0.13 million versus $0.19 million for the prior comparative period of 2013.
The Company's net income from operations was $0.54 million versus an operating loss of $0.59 million for the comparative three month period. The Company's net income was $1.51 million for the period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three month period net loss of $0.59 million. This increase in net income was related to a one time gain from discontinued operations associated with the BioCells sale of $966,712.
Results of Operations for the Nine-Months Ended September 30, 2014
All results from operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 should be compared to the prior period with Note 5. Discontinued Operations referenced and the impact of the sale of Bio on such reported results.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company's total revenue decreased to approximately $3.13 million from $4.43 million over the same period of 2013 due to the sale of Bio. Revenues are generated primarily from new enrollment/processing fees, recurring storage fees and tissue related product sales. For Cord, there was an increase in its total revenues from $2.82 million to $3.14 or a 10% increase over the prior comparative nine month period. Processing fees decreased less than 1% while recurring storage fees increased 7% and tissue related product sales increased 61% over the prior comparative nine month period. The Company remains focused on strategic organic growth which management hopes will provide sustainable operating cash flows, and, positive operating and net income.
24
Cost of services as a percentage of revenue remained consistent for the nine month period ending September 30, 2014 compared to the same prior period of 2013 at 31%. The cost of services includes transportation of the umbilical cord blood and cord tissue from the hospital to the lab, direct material plus labor costs for processing and cryogenic storage, and allocated rent, utility and general administrative expenses. Gross profit decreased by approximately $0.83 million to $2.15 million from the prior comparative nine month period. For Cord, gross profit increased from $2.08 million to $2.15 million, or 4%, for the comparative nine month period. The Company anticipates that through the growth and expansion of its Cord business, tighter cost controls and continuing efficiencies in its own facilities, direct costs should decrease and gross profits should improve.
Administrative and selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $2.41 million as compared to $3.54 million for the comparative period of 2013. These expenses are primarily related to marketing/advertising, professional services, allocated facility, including utilities, expenses, and wages for personnel. For Cord, administrative and selling expenses increased in the nine month comparative period primarily related to the ongoing legal costs associated with the Company’s litigation as described more fully in Item 1. Legal Proceedings. The Company continues to evaluate its expenses and their relationship to revenues for alignment. Depreciation and amortization are included as an administrative expense. For the nine month period, depreciation and amortization was $0.40 million versus $0.54 million for the prior comparative period of 2013.
The Company's loss from operations was $0.55 million versus an operating loss of $1.69 million for the comparative nine month period. The Company's net income was $0.22 million for the period ended September 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $1.41 million for period ended September 30, 2013. This increase in net income was related to a one time gain from discontinued operations associated with the BioCells sale of $766,995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total assets at September 30, 2014 were $3.96 million compared to $6.10 million at December 31, 2013 with the differential largely attributed to the sale of Bio. Total liabilities at September 30, 2013 were $4.67 million consisting primarily of Promissory Notes, Accounts Payable and Deferred Revenue of $1.49 million, $0.46 million and $1.53 million respectively. At December 31, 2013, total liabilities were $6.45 million consisting primarily of Promissory Notes, Accounts Payable and Deferred Revenue of $1.44 million, $0.59 million and $2.61 million respectively.
For the period ending September 30, 2014, the company had $0.70 million in cash, and $0.71 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of 1%. The Company currently collects cash receipts from operations through Cord. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 there was no increase in notes payable for purposes of working capital or investment in affiliate companies. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ending September 30, 2014 was $0.96 million, versus net cash provided by operating activities of $0.33 million from the prior comparative period of 2013, an improvement of $0.62 million or 187%. Part of this increase was due to the sale of Bio which provided a net gain in the Company’s consolidated net income for the nine month period ending September 30, 2014. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $0.19 million. The Company did not have any financing activities during the nine month period ending September 30, 2014, and cash flow from operations continue to be sufficient to fund operations.
Since inception, the Company has financed cash flow requirements through the issuance of common stock and warrants for cash, services and loans. Over the past seven consecutive quarters, the Company has reduced operating expenses, ended investment in its foreign affiliates and received no additional funding from outside sources for working capital. The Company plans to continue to operate on its cash flows from operations by aligning its expenses with its revenues. If cash flows from operations are significantly less than projected, then the company would need to either cut back on its budgeted spending, look to outside sources for additional funding or a combination of the two. The Company currently does not have any financing agreements in place for additional funding. If the Company is unable to access sufficient funds when needed, obtain additional external funding or generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our products, we could be forced to curtail or possibly cease operations.
Inflation
In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on the Company’s operations in the immediate future with the sale of Bio. Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on the Company's business and operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Disclosure not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
It is management's responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Company’s management, including its president and chief financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014. Following this review and evaluation, management collectively determined that its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including its president, vice president, and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The deficiency in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures is related to a lack of segregation of duties due to the size of the accounting department and the lack of experienced accountants due to the limited financial resources of the Company. The Company continues to actively develop the controls and resources necessary in order to be in position to remediate this lack of segregation of duties.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
26
On August 30, 2013, Cord Blood America, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Complaint (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division against Tonaquint, Inc. (“Tonaquint”) and St. George Investments, LLC (“St. George”) (collectively ”Defendants”), along with summonses in connection therewith, case number 2:13-cv-00806-PMW (the “Action”). The Company brought the Action against the Defendants alleging causes of action for Fraud in the Inducement, Breach of Agreement, Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing and Unjust Enrichment. In particular, among other things, the Complaint alleges that Defendants have fraudulently induced the Company to enter into the June 27, 2012 Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Tonaquint Note”), Securities Purchase Agreement (“Tonaquint Purchase Agreement”) and related documentation through misrepresentations including but by no means limited to: (i) representing that the Tonaquint Note would be consecutively amortized with the March 10, 2011 Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued to St. George by the Company (“St. George Note”), and that these would not become due and owing simultaneously, and (ii) that the St. George Note would be replaced by an amended note to be paid off according to a set amortization schedule.
The Company seeks relief in the form of rescission or reformation of the Tonaquint Note, St. George Note, the Warrant issued to St. George as part of the March 10, 2011 transaction, as well as related agreements and documents, an order enjoining Defendants from foreclosing on the Notes or selling the Company’s assets, punitive and other damages in an unspecified amount, costs, attorneys’ fees, interest and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Subsequently, on September 25, 2013, Defendants each filed their Answer and Counterclaim in the Action. In their Counterclaims, Defendants allege causes of action against the Company for Breach of the March 10, 2011 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement between St. George and the Company (“SGI Purchase Agreement”), Breach of the Tonaquint Purchase Agreement and Tonaquint Note, Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, and Unjust Enrichment. Defendants claim that the Company purportedly breached the SGI Purchase Agreement, Tonaquint Purchase Agreement, and Tonaquint Convertible Note, by, among other things, failing to maintain a share reserve, failing to increase the number of authorized shares, failing to call or hold a meeting to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company, and failing to make installment payments under the Tonaquint Convertible Note. Defendants seek relief in the form of damages in an unspecified amount and an order from the Court requiring the Company to establish and maintain a share reserve for the benefit of the Defendants, along with costs, attorneys’ fees and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Also on September 25, 2013, the Company received from Tonaquint a Notice of Disposition of Collateral advising of Tonaquint’s intent to sell all assets of the Company at a public auction on November 4, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. PST at 1857 Helm Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89119. On October 18, 2013, the Company received from Tonaquint a Notification of Cancellation, which provided notice that the aforementioned auction to sell the Company’s assets was cancelled.
On March 22, 2014, Defendants filed an Amended Counterclaim. The Amended Counterclaim added a claim for declaratory judgment, wherein Defendants seek that the Court declare the Security Agreement entered into by the Company and Tonaquint secured repayment for the Company’s purported obligations to both Tonaquint and St. George.
On May 7, 2014, the Company filed its First Amended Complaint and Jury Demand, amending its Complaint to add an additional claim for breach of contract, as well as a claim for promissory estoppel.
On February 20, 2014, Defendants filed a Motion to Strike Plaintiff’s Jury Demand, which the Company later opposed, and on July 7, 2014, the Court issued an Order granting in part, and denying in part Defendants’ Motion.
The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims and defend itself against Defendants' counterclaims, and will continue to take legal action to protect the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS.
A description of the Company’s risk factors can be found in “ Risk Factors” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no material changes to those risk factors during the three months ended September 30, 2014.
In the instances described under this sub-heading, the Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing securities. The Company’s reliance was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by the Company which did not involve a public offering; (b) there were only a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by the Company; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the securities took place directly between the offeree and the Company.
St. George Investments, LLC
On March 10, 2011, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with St. George Investments, LLC, (“St. George”) an Illinois limited liability company (the "Investor") whereby the Company issued and sold, and the Investor purchased: (i) Secured Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company in the principal amount of $1,105,500 (the "Company Note") and (ii) a Warrant to purchase common stock of the Company (the "Warrant"). The Investor paid $250,000 in cash as an initial payment to the Company and executed and delivered six separate “Secured Buyer Notes” (the “Buyer Notes”), as consideration in full for the issuance and sale of the Company Note and Warrants.
The principal amount of the Company Note is $1,105,500 ("Maturity Amount") and the Company Note is due 48 months from the issuance date of March 10, 2011. The Company Note has an interest rate of 6.0%, which would increase to a rate of 12.0% on the happening of certain Trigger Events, including but not limited to: a decline in the 10-day trailing average daily dollar volume of the common shares in the Company’s primary market to less than $30,000 of volume per day at any time; the failure by the Company or its transfer agent to deliver Conversion Shares (defined in the Company Note) within 5 days of Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (defined in the Company Note). The total amount funded (in cash and notes) at closing was $1,000,000, representing the Maturity Amount less an original issue discount of $100,500 and the payment of $5,000 to the Investor to cover its fees, with payment consisting of $250,000 advanced at closing and $750,000 in a series of six secured convertible Buyer Notes of $125,000 each, with interest rates of 5.0%. To date, St. George has paid the total amount due.
The Buyer Notes are secured by an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit (“Letter of Credit”). The Investor has also received a five year warrant entitling it to purchase 1,392,354 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.179. The warrant also contains a net exercise /cashless exercise provision. St. George may elect to convert all or part of the principal and any accrued unpaid interest on the Company Note on or before the aforementioned maturity date, subject to certain limitations. The conversion price under the Company Note is eighty percent (80%) of the average of the closing bid prices for the three (3) Trading Days (defined in the Purchase Agreement) with the lowest closing bids over the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (defined in the Company Note), subject to adjustments as set forth in the Company Note. Due to adjustments, St. George’s current conversion ratio inserts fifty-five percent (55%) in the aforementioned formula, in place of eighty percent (80%). Pursuant to conversions made by St. George under the above-described notes in 2013, the Company issued 397,657,686 total shares to St. George to retire $776,502 of principal and interest in convertible debt which had a fair market value of $1,350,130. The principal balance due on the Note was $ 259,530 as of September 30, 2014.
28
Repurchase of Shares
The Company did not repurchase any of our shares during the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Tonaquint, Inc. claims events of default on the Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated June 27, 2012 issued to the Company. The alleged events of default include a purported failure of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares and an alleged failure of the Company to deliver pre-installment conversion shares. The Company disputes Tonaquint's claims of default, which are the subject of litigation, as described more fully in Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
