Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of
CBR Holdco, LLC (Successor Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013
and for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors and Management
of CBR Holdco, LLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CBR Holdco, LLC and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, of members’ equity and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the period from July 13, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CBR Holdco, LLC and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the period from July 13, 2012 through December 31, 2012, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CBR Holdco, LLC
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013
1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
CBR Holdco, LLC (“Holdco”) was formed in July, 2012. Holdco, a Delaware limited liability company, is the parent of CBR Acquisition Holdings Corp (“Holdings”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary and the parent of Cbr Systems, Inc. (“CBR”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, “the Company”). In September 2012, Holdco, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Holdings, acquired all outstanding capital stock of CBR. The financial results of CBR are included starting from September 19, 2012, the closing date of the acquisition.
The consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 reflects the financial results of the Company.
CBR provides services for: 1) the collection and processing of newborn stem cells from umbilical cord blood and the cryogenic storage of the cells; and 2) the collection of umbilical cord tissue and the cryogenic storage of the tissue. Umbilical cord blood and tissue are rich and diverse sources of stem cells that can be collected without ethical concerns in a ten-minute window immediately after birth. CBR believes that stem cells, which are precursors of the specialized cells that comprise the body’s immune and blood systems, are beneficial in the treatment of various cancers, immune system disorders, and genetic defects. Additionally, this population of stem cells is an increasingly sought after source for clinical research in regenerative medicine because these cells have demonstrated embryonic-like capabilities to proliferate and develop into all of the major cell types in the body, without tumor or immune response issues.
The Company is headquartered in San Bruno, California with business operations in Tucson, Arizona.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets, valuation of goodwill and purchased intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets, inventory valuation, and stock-based compensation.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdco, Holdings, and CBR. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original purchase maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank checking accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuations
7
CBR Holdco, LLC
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013
techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;
Level 3 Inputs that are unobservable.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. See Note 12 for more information.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial conditions, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Company reviews its allowance for uncollectible accounts monthly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring a deposit or collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as needed. Although the Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with major financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Inventories
Inventories consist of cord blood collection kits and processing bags. The Company values inventories at lower of cost or market using the specific-identification method. The Company analyzes inventory levels monthly and expired inventory is disposed of and the related costs are written off. Inventory consisted of the following at December 31:
| | 2014 | | 2013 | |
| | | | | |
Raw materials | | $ | 4,397,743 | | $ | 6,345,674 | |
Finished goods | | 758,636 | | 1,120,523 | |
Total | | $ | 5,156,379 | | $ | 7,466,197 | |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of land, building and improvements, computer equipment and software, laboratory equipment, office furniture and equipment, leasehold improvements, and construction in progress. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
| | Useful Life |
Building and improvements | | 33 - 40 Years |
Comuter equipment and software | | 3 - 5 Years |
Laboratory equipment | | 3 - 7 Years |
Office furniture and equipment | | 3 - 5 Years |
Leasehold improvements | | Lesser of Lease or Asset Life |
Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Internally Developed Software
The Company capitalizes the cost of software developed for internal use in accordance with ASC Topic 350 (Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1), Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Capitalization of the costs of software developed or obtained for internal use begins at the application development phase of the project and totaled $2,443,106 and $379,395 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization of the costs of software developed for internal use begins when the assets are placed in productive use. Software currently in development is included in construction in progress.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash at December 31, 2014 and 2013 consists of cash in money market accounts related to providing certain employees of CBR additional compensation for continuing to work for CBR, and funding a portion of the retained amount. The balance in restricted cash at December 31, 2014 totaled $30,918,827, comprising $28,459,036 related to the Retained Account, and $2,459,791 relating to the Employee Retention Account (Note 8).
Goodwill
Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. For the purpose of testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has determined that it has one reporting unit. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever an event occurs or circumstances changes that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. If the Company determines that a quantitative analysis is necessary, the impairment test for goodwill is a two-step process. Step one consists of a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit against its carrying amount, including the goodwill allocated to each reporting unit. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit based on a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows of the reporting units and the market approach is based on a market multiple calculated for each business unit based on market data of other companies engaged in similar business. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, step two requires the comparison of the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill against the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Any excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied
9
CBR Holdco, LLC
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013
fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is recorded as an impairment loss. There was no impairment of goodwill identified through December 31, 2014.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. There have not been any impairments of long-lived assets through December 31, 2014.
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration is re-measured to its estimated fair value for each year and with the change in fair value recognized as income or expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, any changes in the fair value will impact the Company’s results of operations in such reporting period thereby resulting in potential variability in the Company’s results until contingencies are resolved. The change in fair value for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was ($264,306) and $651,726, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. For multiple-element arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to all deliverables based on their relative selling prices.
The Company determines the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables as follows: (i) vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“ESP”). VSOE generally exists only when the Company sells the deliverable separately and it is the price actually charged by the Company for that deliverable. Any discounts given to the customer are allocated by applying the relative selling price method.
The Company has identified two deliverables generally contained in the arrangements involving the sale of its umbilical cord blood and/or cord tissue products. The first deliverable is associated with enrollment, including the provision of a collection kit and processing. Revenue for this deliverable is recognized after the collection and successful processing of a cord blood/cord tissue unit. The second deliverable is either the annual storage of a specimen for 18 year or lifetime storage (“prepaid storage”) of a specimen. The time period for the lifetime prepaid storage is assessed annually by the Company based on the average duration of life per actuarial tables for males and females. Revenue for this deliverable is recognized ratably over the length of the payment service period. The Company has allocated revenue between these deliverables using the relative selling price method. The selling price for the enrollment, collection kit and processing deliverable and the prepaid storage option are determined based on ESP because the Company does not have VSOE or TPE for these elements. The selling price for the annual storage option is determined based on VSOE as the Company has standalone renewals to support the selling price.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013
Deferred revenue includes: (1) amounts collected in advance of unit processing and (2) amounts associated with unearned storage fees collected at the beginning of the storage contract term, net of allocated discounts. Amounts not expected to be recognized within the next year are classified as long-term deferred revenue.
Shipping and Handling
The Company bills its customers a fee for the shipping of the collection kits. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, these revenues were $6,267,050 and $5,955,710, respectively, and are recorded in net revenues. The costs associated with the shipping of the collection kit are recorded in cost of services. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, these costs were $4,584,508 and $4,714,247, respectively.
Rental Revenue and Expenses
The Company owns a building in Tucson, Arizona and leases 10,000 square feet to one tenant. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease agreement which was renewed in 2013 and expires December 31, 2015. Rental revenue is recorded in other revenue. Future minimum lease payments to be received total $172,124 for the year ending December 31, 2015.
Operating expenses related to the building consist of utilities, maintenance, depreciation, and building management fees.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013
disclosure in the consolidated financial statements of any uncertain tax positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Change recognition or measurement is reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. No liabilities related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. No penalties or interest have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Management Incentive Units
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (SFAS No. 123R), Compensation — Stock Compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 provided guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosures around going concern. The new standard provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Other amendments to GAAP have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Correction of errors
The Company recorded out of period adjustments relating to errors in the 2012 and 2013 financial statements, the effect of which was to record an increase in goodwill of $1,770,037, an increase in deferred taxes of $2,203,799, an increase in other receivables of $1,097,955, an increase in sales, general and administrative expenses of $38,310, and a corresponding increase in Retained Liability of $5,110,101. In the opinion of management, the impact of these errors is not material to the current and prior periods.

11. Members’ Equity
Under the CBR Holdco Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) dated September 19, 2012, the Company is authorized as the Board determines from time to time, to issue common units, which includes incentive units under the Company’s Incentive Unit Plan.
Incentive Unit Plan
CBR’s parent, Holdco has agreements with certain employees and board members whereby those employees and board members have been granted management incentive units. The incentive units granted are subject to a participation threshold at the grant date, based on the $10 stated value of the common units of Holdco, which increase by 8% per annum. The granted awards contain service criteria, performance criteria, or a combination thereof for vesting. Incentive units with a service condition generally vests over 5 years with 20% vesting each year. Incentive units with a performance condition vest when the annual internal rate of return exceeds 25%, and when cash outflows to investors exceeds cash inflows from investors by a multiple of 3 times.
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, a total of 423,319 (of which 323,319 included a vesting performance criteria) and 1,229,750 (including 282,000 vested immediately and 947,750 included a vesting performance criteria) incentive units were granted, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, 842,896 and 973,174 additional units are available for grant, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,329,385 and $2,008,367, respectively.
The fair value of the 392,241 incentive units granted with vesting performance criteria totaled $1,583,866. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not believe the vesting performance criteria were probable and therefore no stock-based compensation has been recorded. Once vesting performance criteria becomes probable, the amortization of the fair value will commence and be recorded as stock-based compensation.

| | Incentive Units | | Weighted Average Grant | |
| | Outstanding | | Date Fair Value | |
Balance | | 2,367,965 | | $ | 10,452,485 | |
Units granted | | 1,229,750 | | 4,402,505 | |
Units forfeited | | (105,200 | ) | (376,616 | ) |
Balance | | 3,492,515 | | $ | 14,478,374 | |
The grant date fair value of all the incentive units was $14,991,156. The fair value of the incentive units was estimated using the Option-Pricing Method (“OPM”). To apply the OPM, the Company calculated the various equity values, at which the sharing percentages would change among the Company’s securities.
The Company estimated volatility based on the historical volatility of similar public companies’ stock price over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of the incentive units. The Company estimated the expected term of the incentive units considering the timing and probabilities of a liquidity event. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the incentive units is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
Total future compensation cost of incentive units (without vesting performance criteria) is $7,279,590, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 5 years.
Distributions
The Board may in its discretion make distributions from time to time pursuant to the distribution priorities as set in the LLC Agreement. No incentive unit shall receive distributions until each common unit that is not an incentive unit has received an amount equal to a hypothetical yield on the aggregate unreturned capital contributions of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly. No portion of any distribution shall be made with respect to any unit that has not been issued or unvested incentive units.
Holdco shall use its reasonable best efforts to distribute to the unitholders within 15 days after the end of fiscal quarter an aggregate amount of cash to approximate the unitholders U.S federal, state and local estimated tax liability for the fiscal quarter. Holdco is required to distribute to unitholders net cash proceeds received from a public offering or a sale of the company within terms as described in the agreement.

Allocations
Net profit or net losses for any calendar year shall be allocated among the unitholders in such a manner that, as of the end of such calendar year, the sum of each unitholder’s capital account, share of minimum gain and partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain shall be equal to the respective net amounts, which would be distributed to them as if Holdco were to liquidate the assets of Holdco for an amount equal to their book value and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation. Special allocations to the unitholders’ capital accounts are made in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2.
Repurchases
In the event of an employee separation, the co-invest units and the vested incentive units will be subject to repurchase at the Company’s option. The purchase price for each co-invest unit and vested incentive unit will be the fair market value of such unit provided, however, if such separation results from employee’s resignation without good reason or from the Company’s termination of employment with cause (as defined in the employment agreement), the purchase price for each co-invest unit will be the lesser of the employee’s original cost for such unit and fair market value of such unit, and the purchase price for each vested incentive unit will be $0.00.
The Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the co-invest units and vested incentive units by delivering written notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) to the holder of such securities within twelve months after the separation. For the year ended December 31, 2014, 1,400 vested incentive units were repurchased for $224.
Transfer by Unitholders
No unitholder is allowed to transfer, offer or agree to transfer all or any parts of any interest in such units without the prior written consent of the Board. All Board approved unit transfers are subject to compliance with the terms of the Agreement. The transferee becomes a substitute unitholder on the date of such transfer. Consent to units transfer is not required for purchasers and investors as specified in the agreement. No transfer of any unit or economic interest is permitted if such a transfer would cause Holdco to have more than 100 partners and would create a risk that Holdco would be treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code. An additional person may be admitted as a unitholder based on Board’s discretion.
Dissolution and Liquidation
Holdco shall dissolve upon the earlier of: (i) approval of the Board or the holders of the required interest or (ii) judicial dissolution or administrative dissolution of Holdco. On dissolution of Holdco, the Board shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more representative or unitholders as liquidator. The liquidator shall sell any portion of Holdco’s assets and make final distributions.

a. Term Loans and Notes Payable
Term loans and notes payable are carried at the outstanding principal balances, net of issue discounts. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s term loans and notes payable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:
| | 2014 | | 2013 | |
| | | | Estimated | | | | Estimated | |
| | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | |
Term Loans | | $ | 197,366,528 | | $ | 165,964,273 | | $ | 142,048,785 | | $ | 130,010,574 | |
Notes Payable | | 81,002,723 | | 88,116,129 | | 62,221,353 | | 71,985,551 | |
Totals | | $ | 278,369,251 | | $ | 254,080,402 | | $ | 204,270,138 | | $ | 201,996,125 | |
The estimated fair values of the term loans and notes payable were based on the then-current rates available to the Company for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities and also took into consideration default and credit risk. The Company determined the estimated fair value amount by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. The fair value of the long-term debt was categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
b. Assets/Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In the tables below, the Company has segregated all assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

c. Class Action
In January 2012, a class action lawsuit was commenced, naming CBR as the defendant. The plaintiffs allege that CBR breached the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act as a result of medical records being stolen from an employee’s vehicle. In February 2013, Holdco presented their preliminary settlement to the court, which includes two years of credit monitoring and identity theft insurance for each class member. In February 2013, class members were also notified of the terms of the settlement. Class members were required to enroll online for credit monitoring and identity theft insurance by May 2013 and November 2013, respectively. As a result of these terms, Holdco also entered into a contract with a credit monitoring company to cover a minimum of $600,000 in credit monitoring services. Holdco believes the retained amount established at the close of acquisition of CBR will be sufficient to cover any losses that may result from this matter and thus will not have a material impact on its business or the consolidated financial statements.
