Our Business

About American CryoStem Corporation

American CryoStem Corporation; (CRYO) founded in 2008, has evolved to become a biotechnology pioneer, standardizing adipose tissue derived technologies (Adult Stem Cells) for the fields of Regenerative and Personalized Medicine. The Company operates a state-of-art, FDA-registered laboratory in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey and licensed laboratories in Hong Kong, China and Thailand which operate on our proprietary platform, dedicated to the collection, processing, bio-banking of adipose tissue (fat) and culturing and differentiation of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) for current or future use in regenerative medicine. CRYO maintains a strategic portfolio of intellectual property (IP) that surrounds our technology which supports a growing pipeline of stem cell applications and biologic products. We are leveraging our platform and a developed product portfolio to create a domestic and global footprint of licensed laboratory affiliates, physicians networks, patients and research organizations who purchase tissue collection, processing and storage consumables from our Company. Our laboratory stem cell products foundation are characterized adult human Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC’s) derived from adipose tissue that work in conjunction with our patented (non-animal) medium lines. The Company’s R&D efforts are focused on university and private collaborations to discover, develop and commercialize ADSC and laboratory products combined with synergistic technologies to create regenerative medicine applications and new intellectual property.

The Company believes the reproducibility of scientific studies has become a substantial issue in life science research from drug discovery and development through trials as researchers throughout the world continue to use different protocols for processes associated with sample preparation, cryopreservation and cold chain management. We believe the scientific community is becoming more aware of factors that affect sample integrity and experimental variability. By standardizing handling, storage, and transportation protocols we can substantially improve the quality and reproducibility of adipose tissue and cell collection, processing, storage and retrieval which will help to accelerate the transition from lab research to therapy development and market launch. To this end, we have licensed affiliates operating on our cellular collection-processing and storage platform in Thailand, Hong Kong, and China.

Significant to our efforts to advance our technology and business methods, the Company filed its first Investigational New Drug Application (IND) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for our ATCELL cellular therapy product. The IND filing is titled “ATCell™ Expanded Autologous Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells deployed via Intravenous Infusion for the Treatment of Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) in Retired Athletes and Military Personnel” File number 19089 was approved by the FDA on September 17, 2020. In advance of the filing the Company built and validated a new cGMP clean room processing and manufacturing area at our facility in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, implemented and validated new Standard Operating Procedures and installed a new Quality Management System.

Our proprietary, patented processing platform allows for the collection, preparation and cryo-preservation of adipose tissue without manipulation, bio-generation or the addition of animal-derived products or other chemical materials which require removal from the tissue sample upon retrieval or prior to use. Management believes this core process makes each tissue sample suitable for use in cosmetic grafting procedures or for further processing to adult stem cells for stem cell therapies. Currently, we believe there are numerous therapeutic and orthopedic applications for adipose tissue and adult stem cell treatments in use globally.

Products and Services

American CryoStem is focused on multiple high margin business lines capable of generating sustainable, recurring revenue streams from each of our developed products and services. The Company incorporates its proprietary and patented or patent pending laboratory products, such as our ACSelerate™ cell culture media, into our processing product production and contract manufacturing services. Additionally, the Company requires licensee’s of our tissue and cell processing technologies to purchase consumable products required in the collection, processing and storage of tissue/stem cells as part of the licensing agreement including our CELLECT^®Collection, Transportation, and Storage System and ACSelerate^™Cell Culture Media Products.

To date, we have generated minimal revenue; however, subject to, among other factors, obtaining the requisite financing, management believes that we are well positioned to utilize our developed products and services as the foundation for domestic and international distribution through licensees of our technologies, and a host of Regenerative Medicine application uses and future therapy products. In the US we operate an FDA registered facility that generates revenue from; the processing and storage of adipose tissue (ATGRAFT), the processing of adipose tissue into its cellular components for future use (ATCELL) and the production and sale of our CELLECT^®tissue collection boxes, and patented media products.

CELLECT^®Collection, Transportation, and Storage System – An unbreakable “chain of custody” solution for physicians to collect and deliver tissue samples utilizing proprietary and patent pending methods and materials. The CELLECT^®service is monitored in real-time and assures the highest cell viability upon laboratory receipt. The CELLECT^®system incorporates our ACSelerate–TR^™ transport medium into all collection bags which supports the health of the tissue during transport. The CELLECT^® kit is an integral part of our ATGRAFT^™ and ATCELL^™ technology to be used by all licensees of our technologies. The CELLECT^® service is included in our granted patent “Business Method for Collection, Processing, Cryogenic Storage and Distribution of a Biologic Sample Material” US Patent Number 10,014,079, issued July 3, 2018.

American CryoStem is the first tissue bank to globally incorporate through its CELLECT^® service the International Blood Banking identification, labeling and product identification coding system. The coding was developed in conjunction with the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), the American Red Cross and the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT). These groups form the International Council for Commonality in Blood Banking Automation (ICCBBA) and developed the ISBT 128 Standard for machine readable labeling. This labeling system is an acceptable machine readable labeling standard, product description, and bar coding system for FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research under 21 CFR 606.12(c) 13. American CryoStem conforms to this standard in its laboratory facility and all cellular and tissue products produced at the facility carry our W3750 ICCBBA facility identifier allowing any hospital, clinic, laboratory and regulator worldwide to identify the origin and obtain additional information on any sample produced at an American CryoStem laboratory facility. The Company will promote this standard in all laboratories that license or utilize our technology.

ATGRAFT^™Adipose Tissue Storage Service –An adipose tissue (fat) collection, processing and storage solution allowing physicians to provide their patients with multiple tissue products and cell storage options. The ATGRAFT^™service, through one liposuction procedure allows individuals to prepare for multiple future cosmetic or regenerative procedures by using their own stored adipose tissue as natural biocompatible filler, or the components for multiple cellular therapy application without the trauma of further liposuctions. ATGRAFT^™procedures may include breast reconstruction, layered augmentation, buttocks enhancement or volume corrections of the hands, feet, face and neck areas that experience significant adipose tissue (fat) volume reduction as we age. ATGRAFT^™is processed and stored utilizing our standards so that any stored fat tissue sample may be retrieved in the future and re-processed to create stem cells, “ATCELL”^™, for use in Regenerative Medicine applications. The ATGRAFT^™service is included in our granted patent “Business Method for Collection, Processing, Cryogenic Storage and Distribution of a Biologic Sample Material” US Patent Number 10,014,079, issued July 3, 2018.

The Company’s charges standardized fees for ATGRAFT^™ tissue processing and minimum annual storage fees depending on the volume of tissue processed. These processing and storage fees may be paid by the collecting/treating physician or the consumer. The Company earns additional fees upon sample retrieval, for the thawing, packaging and shipment of the stored samples to the physician, clinic or “point-of-care” for immediate use upon receipt. Additionally, physicians may request that any stored ATGRAFT^™tissue sample of 25ml or greater be reprocessed utilizing the Company’s ATCELL^™and Autokine-CM^™processing to create therapy or cosmetic products, on-demand.

The Company believes the ATGRAFT^™ service creates patient retention and significant revenue opportunities for the participating physician. The ATGRAFT^™service lowers physician overall costs related to tissue transfer services and multiple therapy applications by eliminating the cost of additional liposuction(s) procedures for each scheduled fat transfer or therapy procedure. Physician cost savings may include: materials, supplies, equipment, and the expenses of utilizing a surgical center, hospital operating room or an in-office aseptic procedure room. The ATGRAFT^™ service is designed to operate under the minimally manipulated regulations contained in both 21 CFR 1271.10 and PHS 361.

ATCELL^™Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) –Processed and characterized adipose derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) created using the Company’s proprietary Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and ACSelerate^™patented cell culture media. ATCELL^™ is the Company’s trademarked name for its ADRCs and differentiated cell products and processing methodology. The Company maintains for research purposes multiple master and differentiated cell lines and labels them according to their characterization, i.e. ATCELL^™ (adipose derived stem cells), ATCELL-SVF^™(stromal vascular fraction), ATCELL – CH^™ (differentiated chondrocytes), etc. Cell lines may be custom created for patients desiring to store their cells for their own future use in Regenerative Medicine procedures. The Company charges its customers a fee to reprocess previously stored ATGRAFT^™ (pure fat) samples and for newly collected client tissue samples to be processed into cellular samples. Customer samples are processed utilizing the CELLECT^® collection system and ACSelerate^™mediums to conform to our internal SOPs and quality control standards.

Additionally, the Company believes it will earn additional fees based upon the proposed storage configuration of the final ATCELL^™sample, and for future product creation by culturing additional samples in the ACSelerate^™ cell culture and differentiation media. Cell culturing and differentiation can be performed upon receipt of the raw tissue sample or at any time on a previously processed and cryopreserved ATGRAFT^™ or ATCELL^™sample. ATCELL^™has shown that it is ideally suited for expansion and differentiation into additional cell types utilizing the ACSelerate^™line of culture and differentiation mediums. The ATCELL^™processing, products and services are incorporated into our granted patent “Systems and Methods for the Digestion of Adipose Tissue Samples Obtained from a Client for Cryopreservation” US 10,154,664 issued December 18, 2018, and “Business Method for Collection, Processing, Cryogenic Storage and Distribution of a Biologic Sample Material” US Patent Number 10,014,079, issued July 3, 2018. The ACSelerate Medium products are incorporated into our granted patents “Cell Culture Media, Kits and Methods of Use”; US Patent No. 7,989,205 issued August 2, 2011 with additional claims granted in US Patent No. 9,487,755 granted November 8, 2016.

The Company’s ATCELL^™ cell lines are processed and cultured in our patented ACSelerate^™cell culture media. All CRYO processed samples; tissue, cells, and research materials made available for therapies, tissue transfer or sale to research institutions are tested for sterility, disease, lifespan, and population doubling rate (PDL). Additionally, we believe ATCELL^™cells are suited for any type of cellular therapy or regenerative medicine research. Cell morphology is confirmed by (i) flow cytometry and (ii) differentiation analysis using ACSelerate^™ differentiation media. Each ATCELL^™ line can be further cultured and differentiated allowing the Company to provide genetically matched cell types. We believe this research methodology may provide opportunities for the Company’s ATCELL^™ and ACSelerate^™ products to become the building blocks of final developed commercial applications.

The Company intends to support its cell therapy application research, development and collaborative efforts by making ATCELL^™and ATGRAFT^™ samples available for research and product development purposes through joint ventures, and university and commercial collaborations. These adipose tissue and cell line samples, we believe will be sought after by private researchers and universities for use in pre-clinical trial studies and in-vitro research due to our processing methodology, donor sample data, the ability to create multiple cell types that have identical genetic profiles, and achieving repeatable results. We believe the processing methods, data collection and testing of our ATCELL^™ and the ability to make multiple cell types from the same donor line allows research teams the ability to focus on application development and avoid bench to commercialization delays. The Company is prepared to distribute research samples of its ATCELL^™cell products to users of its ACSelerate^™ cell culture media for application development.

The Company received approval of its first Investigational New Drug Application (IND) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the ATCELL cellular therapy product. The IND filing is titled “ATCell™ Expanded Autologous Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells deployed via Intravenous Infusion for the Treatment of Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) in Retired Athletes and Military Personnel”, File number 19089, on September 17, 2020.

ACSelerate^™Cell Culture Media Products – Manufactured patented cell culture media products for growing human stromal cells (including all cells found in human skin, fat and other connective tissue). Certain of the Company’s ACSelerate^™cell culture media lines are available in animal serum free, which may be suitable for human and therapeutic uses or available in a low serum version for application development and research purposes. The patented ACSelerate^™cell culture media line(s) was specifically developed to address increasing industry demand for animal serum-free cell culture products and for the acceleration of products from the laboratory to the patient.

The Company entered into a licensing and manufacturing agreement with PeproTech (April 4, 2016) a life sciences company formed in 1988. PeproTech is the trusted source for the development and manufacturing of high quality cytokine products for the life-science and cell therapy markets. PeproTech has grown into a global enterprise with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in the US, and offices around the world. With over 2,000 products PeproTech has developed and refined innovative protocols to ensure quality, reliability and consistency. The licensed medium is marketed under both PeproTech’s PeproGrow and the Company’s ACSelerate MAX brands.

On August 2, 2011, the Company was issued US patent number 7,989,205 for “Cell Culture Media, Kits and Methods of Use.” The granted claims include media variations for cellular differentiation of ADSCs into osteoblasts (bone), chondrocytes (cartilage), adipocytes (fat), neural cells, and smooth muscles cells in both HSA medium grade and FBS (research) grade. This patent covers both non-GMP research grades and GMP grades suitable for cell culture of adipose-derived stem cells. Additionally, on November 8, 2016 the Company was granted additional claims from the continuation U.S. Serial No. 13/194,900 issued as a new Patent Serial No. 9,487,755. Prior to the issuance the Company filed a continuation in part (CIP) containing additional claims related to our ongoing media development.

The use of FBS and other animal products in cellular therapy application development and manufacture raises concerns and generates debates within the scientific and regulatory community relating to potential human/animal cross-contamination. These same concerns may lead to additional expensive and expansive testing and documentation requirements with the FDA during the application and approval process for new cellular therapies manufactured with or containing animal or animal derived products. FDA concerns are evidenced in their Guidance’s and Guidelines regarding cellular therapy involving human cells, tissues and products (HCT/Ps) published and maintained by the FDA. Management believes that eliminating or greatly reducing FBS in cellular manufacturing, applications and products can eliminate or ease these scientific and regulatory concerns and may prove to be a winning strategy for cellular therapy application developers seeking FDA approval.

The Company supports its marketing efforts by making ATCELL^™samples available for research purposes and for internal product development through our research programs. We believe these cell lines may be sought after by private researchers and universities for use in pre-clinical trial studies and in-vitro research. We also believe that the Company’s ability to provide these materials for these research and development collaborators, partners and other third parties extends the Company’s ability to become a primary source of grade materials and services necessary to support approved applications and treatments.

The Company has created several versions of its ACSelerate^™cell culture media including:

ACSelerate-MAX^™-xeno serum free cell culture media,

ACSelerate-SFM^™- animal serum free cell culture media,

ACSelerate-LSM^™- low FBS (0.05%) cell culture media,

ACSelerate-CY^™- for differentiation of ATCELL^™ into chondrocytes (ATCELL-CY^™),

ACSelerate-OB^™- for differentiation of ATCELL^™ into osteoblasts (ATCELL-OB^™)

ACSelerate-AD^™- for differentiation of ATCELL^™ into adipocytes (ATCELL-AD^™)

ACSelerate-MY^™- for differentiation of ATCELL^™into myocytes (ATCELL-MY^™)

ACSelerate-CP^™- non-DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) cellular cryopreservation media

ACSelerate-TR^™- sterile transportation medium designed to maintain the viability of the tissue during the shipment of adipose tissue to our processing facility.

The Company continues to optimize additional versions of ACSelerate^™media through further research that may be necessary for use in future applications. Many of these applications may not be currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. On December 31, 2014 the Company filed a patent application for an advanced medium formulation titled Human Albumin Serum for Cell Culture Medium for Growth of Human Adipose Stromal Cells. (US Serial No. 62/098799) representing the most recent results of this ongoing optimization program. On December 31, 2015, the Company converted the provisional patent application to an international PCT filing (PCT/US/68350) under the title Human Serum for Cell Culture for Growth of Human Adipose Stromal Cells. To date the patent has also been filed in the following additional countries: China and Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Brazil, the European Union, US, Japan, Thailand, Brazil, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.

Contract Manufacturing, Autokine-CM^®Anti-Aging, Autologous Skin Care Product Line– Under agreement with Personal Cell Sciences Corp. (PCS), we manufacture the key ingredient Autokine-CM^® (autologous adipose derived stem cell conditioned medium) for PCS’ U-Autologous™ anti-aging topical formulation. Every product is genetically unique to the patient and custom blended, deriving its key ingredients from the individual client’s own adipose derived stem cells. The Company provides its CELLECT^®Tissue Collection service to collect the required tissue to manufacture the U-Autologous^™ product and processes it under the same Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) that it developed for the ATGRAFT^™ and ATCELL^™ cell processing services utilizing ACSelerate^™ cell culture media. The Company receives collection, processing and long term storage fees and earns a royalty on all U-Autologous product sales. The utilization of the Company’s core services in its contract manufacturing relationships provides opportunities for the Company to promote ATGRAFT^™ and ATCELL^™products.

CRYO’s contract manufacturing services can be extended to develop custom and/or white label products and services for both local and global cosmetic and regenerative medicine companies, physicians, wellness clinics and medical spas. The Company intends to expand its relationships and contract manufacturing regionally through its physician networks and globally through its International Licensing Program.

International Licensing Program – The Company believes that, many jurisdictions outside the US currently permit cellular therapies and regenerative medicine applications. The Company has received numerous international inquiries concerning the sale or licensing of our SOPs, products and services in the Regenerative Medicine and Medical Tourism Markets. The Company believes that the inquiries to date are a result of the global boom in Medical Tourism, Regenerative and Personalized Medicine and the slow pace of approval of cellular therapies and regenerative medicine applications in the US. To address the Company’s sales, marketing and branding opportunities globally, the Company has created its international licensing program. To date we have licensed our technologies in Hong Kong, China, and Thailand.

The Company believes it can take advantage of the significant growth of the global cellular therapy market through its international licensing and marketing efforts. A recently published study by Transparency Market Research predicts the global market for stem cells is expected to register a healthy CAGR of 13.8% during the period from 2017 to 2025 to become worth US$270.5 bn by 2025.

Product Development

Our strategic approach to product development is to design, develop and launch new products and services that utilize our core processing technology, existing products and services, i.e. the use of the CELLECT^® collection materials by contracted companies to collect fresh tissue for their product. Management believes that allowing other biotech companies to utilize portions of our platform will provide the Company with additional opportunities to produce near term cash flow, strong recurring revenue streams, strong international licensing partners and complementary scientific data. We focus on developing products, services and applications that require tissue collection and processing as the initial requirement to produce cellular therapies and products. These products and services may include adipose tissue and stem cell sample processing and storage as a form of personal “bio-insurance”, adipose tissue (fat) storage for cosmetic fat engraftment procedures, and the creation of topical applications and ingredients used by other companies in the wound care and cosmetic industries as well as cellular applications and bio-materials development.

We focus our efforts on expanding our product and services pipelines based upon our intellectual property portfolio, collaborative development relationships, product sales and distribution, and international licensing and partnering opportunities. Our current activities include supporting collaborations by providing our products and services (ACSelerate^™ and ATCELL^™) with the expectation that our products and services become the basis for new adipose tissue and stem cell based Regenerative Medicine and cellular therapy applications.

The Company filed its first Investigational New Drug Application (IND) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the ATCELL cellular therapy product. The IND filing is titled “ATCell^™ Expanded Autologous Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells deployed via Intravenous Infusion for the Treatment of Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) in Retired Athletes and Military Personnel”, File number 19089, which was approved by the FDA on September 17, 2020. The Company intends to invite additional developers of cellular therapies to initiate additional arms of the clinical study focused on the use of ATCELL for use in systemic inflammatory response relief for patient suffering from systemic diseases. A number of these additional study targets have been identified and ongoing discussions support the Company’s belief that additional investigations can be developed and rapidly added upon completion of the new study protocol and outcome assessment methodologies. The Company is currently developing additional studies for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy with RACEMD, osteoarthritis and post COVID-19 complications with an expectation that these additional studies will be filed in fiscal 2021.

Collaboration / Partnering Opportunities / Acquisitions

PeproTech, Inc.

On April 4, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement with PeproTech, Inc of Rocky Hill, NJ. Under the Agreement PeproTech manufactures, markets and distributes the Company’s ACSelerate – Max cell growth medium. The Company and PeproTech completed the optimization and scale up manufacturing studies and the licensed medium is marketed under both PeproTech’s, PeproGrow and the Company’s ACSelerate MAX brands.

The Company is in ongoing discussion with PeproTech related to increasing the visibility and sales of the medium and the optimization of additional medium products focused on the differentiation of adult stem cells that are synergistic to the cell culture medium.

BioLife Customer and Physician Acquisition

In February 2015, the Company entered into a binding asset purchase agreement with BioLife Cell Bank Dallas, LLC and BioLife Cell Bank Management, LLC (collectively “BioLife”), to purchase all of BioLife’s current adipose tissue, stem cell storage clients samples, and physician network. The transaction was concluded in March of 2015. Transfer of the adipose tissue samples was completed on April 24, 2015. The Company initiated annual storage fee billing to the acquired storage clients in June of 2015. Management believes that, with the acquisition of BioLife, the Company became one of the largest commercial adipose storage facilities in the United States. Additionally the Company acquired the physician customer list of approximately 60 cosmetic and plastic surgeons, and began marketing its services to all physician users of the BioLife services.

Cells on Ice:

In August 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement with Cells On Ice, Inc. (COI) located in Los Angeles, California to process adipose tissue and adipose derived cellular samples to study future use in Regenerative Medicine. COI is a physician network interested in the development and use of adipose tissue and adipose derived cellular samples in regenerative therapies and cellular medicine. The Company has agreed to distribute its Cellect collection boxes and provide its ATGRAFT^™ and ATCELL^™processing services under the COI brand for collection, processing and storage of tissue samples at its NJ facility. Under the agreement, COI will pay the Company for the processing and storage of each sample generated by COI network physicians. COI plans to seek regulatory approval for use of the stored samples in studies and trials utilizing adipose tissue processed into Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) and ultimately expanded adipose derived mesenchymal adult stem cells. The Company is incorporating its existing protocols into COI’s studies and may provide processing and other data to COI in support of their ongoing efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approval of its cellular therapies. The company believes that COI has initiated several IRB approved studies. This initial work will become the basis for Investigational New Drug and Investigational Device Exemption filings with the FDA. In January 2018 the Company ceased shipping all ATCELL products in response to a warning letter issued to the Company by the FDA. (See Regulatory Information below).

Additional Collaborations

The Company recognizes the benefits of collaborations with industry and university partners and continues to seek these relationships. These relationships are generally covered by Confidential Non-Disclosure Agreements and include Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) under which the Company will supply ATCELL^™and/or ACSelerate^™ medium products for evaluation, testing, and the development of new cellular therapy applications.

The Company has entered into Non-Disclosure and Material Transfer Agreements with a number of potential collaborators. No assurance can be given that these efforts or relationships will ultimately result in new technology for future commercialization.

Regulatory Information

On January 3, 2018, the Company received a warning letter from the U.S. FDA concerning its contract manufacturing services at its Monmouth Junction, New Jersey facility. The FDA informed the Company that the Agency has determined that its autologous adipose derived cell product, ATCELL^™ is a drug under current FDA regulations and guidance. In response to the letter the Company ceased shipment of its ATCELL product within the United States and is currently in discussions with the FDA concerning the filing of an Investigational New Drug (IND). Since the Company’s initial response to the Warning letter it has spent considerable time and effort to comply with the concerns and observations highlighted in the letter. Specifically the Company designed and filed it first Investigation New Drug Application with FDA which was accepted for review on October 22, 2019. Additionally, the Company has implemented, qualified and validated as appropriate its completely redesigned its manufacturing SOPs and Quality Management program and new clean manufacturing space in its facility in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey. The Company filed its final responses to FDA regarding the Warning Letter which we expect to file in early January of 2020. Based upon the Company’s IND approval, the final dispensation of the Warning Letter has been placed on hold by the FDA Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) pending completion of the study and the filing by the Company of the formal Biologics License Application.

In its ongoing efforts to address the concerns contained in the Warning Letter, the Company expanded its existing facilities and undertook a complete remediation of its laboratory operations in expectation of the (IND) filing with the FDA for the use of autologous adipose derived cells for the relief of inflammation associated with certain conditions resulting from trauma. The Company also leased additional space and, certified and validated a new Clean Room designed specifically for cellular expansion, medium filling and tissue processing. In addition, the Company retained consultants to assist its personnel in the review and re-validation of its operating procedures, equipment and processing methods as well as designing new procedures for upgraded and newly acquired laboratory operating and testing equipment. The Company has completed the IND application process and necessary documentation and received approval on September 17, 2020.

The Company’s New Jersey laboratory facility is registered with the FDA (FEI 3008307548) as a processing and storage facility for Human Cells, Tissues and Cellular and Tissue Based Products (HCT/Ps) since 2010. In 2013, we registered the facility with the State of New York (CP169TP136) and the State of California (CNC80948) the only states in the U.S. requiring registration. We have discussed our operations with the State of New Jersey Health Department and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to ascertain any special regulations to which we may be subject. Based upon these discussions, and our use of a registered medical waste disposal company, we do not at this time have any special registrations or regulations for compliance with the State of New Jersey.

Our SOPs are the key to properly operating our tissue processing facility. In 2018 the Company hired a cGMP consultant to assist it with the update of all SOP’s, data collection forms, Quality Control Program and laboratory operations to conform with cGMP in response to the observations made by FDA. To ensure delivery of the highest quality services, we incorporate these SOPs, which are designed to provide a basis for accreditation by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) and the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT-JACIE).

We have consistently endeavored to ensure that our processes, methodologies and procedures remain among the highest standards in the global tissue collection, processing and storage market. To this end, we have equipped ourselves with state-of-the-art quality processing and testing equipment, which we believe helps to ensure that every sample collected and processed is sterile (free from adventitious agents), viable and capable of significant cellular growth and expansion.

Quality Management

The Company’s quality management program attempts to ensure that during processing and testing of each adipose tissue, or cellular sample, the appropriate quality management tests and processing methodologies are performed and the data is collected, recorded and reviewed by the laboratory management team. In 2018, the Company hired a Quality Control consultant to assist the Company in updating its Quality Control Program, laboratory processes, Sops, data collection, and laboratory, product and materials validation programs. The new system was completed, qualified and validated in 2019 and has been implemented in the new clean processing facility the Company qualified in 2019.

Chain of Custody Control

Central to the individual sample testing is an unbroken chain of custody and tracking. Sample tracking begins with the creation of each collection box. All samples, processing, quality management, batch, and storage documents and records, are coded with this unique number. All records and testing samples are cross referenced and verified as required by the standard operating procedures.

Testing Design and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Testing methods are standardized and operate under a complete set of SOPs and Quality Management (QM) processes. All SOPs are designed to be in compliance with the US Food and Drug Administration’s regulations and guidance for aseptic processing. Strict QM is enforced to avoid and/or record any process deviations. In 2018 in response to the Letter received by the Company from the FDA, the Company undertook a major reorganization and upgrade of all of its methods, SOPs, processes and facility to upgrade its facility from a registered tissue bank to a Biologic Drug Manufacturer. This update was completed concurrently with the validation and qualification of the Company’s new quality management system that was completed, validated and qualified in 2019.

Intellectual Property

From the Company’s formation, our strategy has been to invest time and capital in intellectual property protection. This strategy is intended to strengthen our Company’s foundation in any defensive or offensive legal challenge. In addition, we are developing our IP portfolio to ensure and enhance our business flexibility and allow us to gain favorable terms in potential future collaborative partnerships with third parties.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

To date we have generated only minimal operating revenues. Our recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and as a result, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 with respect to this uncertainty which is included in the 2020 10-K. Substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may create negative reactions to the price of our Common Stock and we may have a more difficult time obtaining financing.

We expect to incur increased operating expenses for the foreseeable future. The amount of net losses and the time required for us to reach and sustain profitability are uncertain. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered in connection with a development stage business, including, but not limited to, uncertainty as to development and the time required for our planned services to become available in the marketplace. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate sufficient revenues or achieve profitability at all or on any substantial basis. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cease or curtail our development activities, it is highly likely that you would lose your entire investment in our Company.

We will require substantial additional capital to pursue our business plan.

We have incurred negative cash flows since inception from our developmental activities, and at this time as well as for the foreseeable future will finance (until we can generate sufficient revenues, if ever, to cover expenses) our activities and overhead expenses from any revenues we generate and through the issue and sale of debt and/or equity securities. The recoverability of the costs incurred by us to date is highly uncertain and is dependent upon, among other items, achieving commercial production and sales of our services, of which no assurances can be given. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties which are frequently encountered by companies in the development stage in the emerging Regenerative Medicine industry that we hope to commence operations in.

We have financed our development activities and expenses since inception through the sale of our debt and equity securities. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the cost of developing our business and marketing activities, the efficacy and effectiveness of our proposed services, costs (whether or not foreseen), the length of time required to collect accounts receivable we may in the future generate, competing technological and market developments and acceptance. Changes in our proposed business or business plan could materially increase our capital requirements. We cannot assure you that our proposed plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of our capital resources more rapidly than currently anticipated.

Even if we obtain funding, we still will need to obtain substantial additional financing to, among other things, fund the future development of any services we attempt to undertake and for general working capital purposes. Any additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to stockholders and any such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of the holders of shares of our Common Stock. Debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve our granting security interests on our assets and restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility.

Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, our capital structure, our development stage, the lack of an active market for shares of our Common Stock, and our lack of profitability, all of which would impact the availability or cost of future financings. We cannot assure prospective investors that we will be able to obtain requisite financing in a timely fashion or at all and, if obtained, on acceptable terms. Our inability to obtain needed financing on acceptable terms would have a material adverse effect on the implementation of our proposed business plan.

Statements concerning our future plans and operations are dependent on our ability to secure adequate funding and the absence of unexpected delays or adverse developments. We may not be able to secure required funding.

The statements concerning future events or developments or our future activities, such as current or planned research and development activities, anticipated products and services, anticipated commercial introduction of products and services, and other statements concerning our future operations and activities, are forward-looking statements that in each instance assume that we are able to obtain sufficient funding in the near term and thereafter to support such activities and continue our operations and planned activities in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that this will be the case. Also, such statements assume that there are no significant unexpected developments or events that delay or prevent such activities from occurring. Failure to timely obtain sufficient funding, or unexpected development or events, could delay the occurrence of such events or prevent the events described in any such statements from occurring which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have significant payment obligations under certain Notes due through 2021. Any non-payment of the Notes when due in the absence of an extension of the maturity date would constitute event of default under the Notes, and our financial condition may be adversely affected.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had issued and outstanding: $226,500 aggregate principal amount of Bridge Notes, which matured, between January through July 2015 and bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum; $83,500 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes which matured in September 2014, convertible into shares of Common Stock and the rate of one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.35 of principal amount and/or interest so converted; $45,000 of 8% convertible notes which matured in September of 2016, convertible into shares of Common Stock and the rate of one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.30 of principal amount and/or interest so converted; $150,000 of 5% convertible notes which mature in Fiscal 2021, convertible into shares of Common Stock at the rate of one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.33 of principal amount and/or interest so converted; $155,000 of 8% convertible notes which matured on January 31, 2018, convertible into shares of Common Stock at the rate of one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.20 of principal amount and/or interest so converted; $40,000 of 8% convertible notes which matured in January 31, 2018 convertible into shares of Common Stock and the rate of one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.15 of principal amount and/or interest so converted; and $100,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes which matured in Fiscal 2020, convertible into shares of Common Stock and the rate of one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.40 of principal amount and/or interest so converted. No assurances can be given that the Company will have sufficient funds to repay the principal and/or interest on such Bridge Notes when due or on the Convertible Notes; such Convertible Notes are converted into Common Stock prior to maturity. In such event, we might be subject to, among other things, non-payment claims of the Note holders, and our financial condition may be adversely affected.

Our limited operating history may make it difficult to evaluate our business and our future viability.

We are in the relatively early stage of operations and have only a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Even if we successfully obtain additional funding, we are subject to the risks associated with development stage companies with a limited operating history, including: the need for additional financing; the uncertainty of research and development efforts; successful commercialization of our products and services; market and customer acceptance of our products and services; unexpected issues with federal or state regulatory authorities; competition from larger organizations; dependence on key personnel; uncertain patent or other intellectual property protection; fluctuations in expenses; and dependence on corporate partners and collaborators. Any failure to successfully address these risks and uncertainties could seriously harm our business and prospects. We may not succeed given the technological, marketing, strategic and competitive challenges we will face. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties, complications, problems and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a new business, the continuing development of new drug technology, and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate or may choose to operate in the future.

Many of our products, services and technologies are in early stages of development.

Processing and cryogenic storage of adipose tissue and stem cells, and application development is in the early stages of development, and there can be no assurance that our business will be successful. Further, potential products based upon individuals’ stem cells will require extensive additional research and development before any commercial introduction. There can be no assurance that any future research and development will result in viable products or meet efficacy or regulatory standards.

Cell therapy is a developing field and a significant market for our services has yet to emerge in the US.

Cell therapy and regenerative medicine is a developing field, which we believe few cell therapy products or services approved for and/or commercial use. We are wholly dependent on the acceptance of cell therapy (and specifically stem cells) to develop into a large and profitable industry. We hope to develop services related to the collection, processing, storage of stem cells and application development. We believe the market for stem cell and tissue-based therapies is in its infancy, substantially research oriented and financially speculative and has yet to achieve substantial commercial success. Stem cell products and services may in general be susceptible to various risks, including undesirable and unintended side effects, unintended immune system responses, inadequate therapeutic efficacy, lack of acceptance by physicians, hospital and consumers, or other characteristics that may prevent or limit their approval or commercial use. Management believes that the demand for tissue processing and stem cell processing and the number of people who may use cell or tissue-based therapies is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast. Our success is dependent on, among other items, the establishment of a market for our proposed services and our ability to capture a share of this market.

Our proposed services may not attain commercial acceptance absent endorsement by physicians.

Our proposed services will compete against individual adipose tissue and cellular samples derived from alternate sources, such as bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and perhaps embryos. We believe that physicians and hospitals are historically slow to adopt new technologies like ours, whatever the merits, when older technologies continue to be supported by established providers. Overcoming such inertia often requires very significant marketing expenditures or definitive product performance and/or pricing superiority. Management currently believes physicians’ and hospitals’ inertia and skepticism to be a significant barrier as we attempt to gain market penetration with our proposed services. Failure to achieve market acceptance of our proposed services would have a material adverse effect on our future prospects.

If we should in the future become required to obtain regulatory approval to market and sell our proposed services we will not be able to generate any revenues until such approval is received.

The medical industry is subject to stringent regulation by a wide range of authorities. We are required to have licenses in certain states to market and support our services as well as annual registration with the FDA as a tissue bank. While we believe that, given our proposed business, we are not presently required to obtain additional state and federal regulatory approval to market our services we cannot predict whether regulatory clearance will be required in the future and, if so, whether such clearance will at such time be obtained, whether for the stem cells and/or any other services that we are developing or may attempt to develop. Should such regulatory approval in the future be required, our services may be suspended or may not be able to be marketed and sold in the United States until we have completed the regulatory clearance process as and if implemented by the FDA. Satisfaction of regulatory requirements typically takes many years, is dependent upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product or service and would require the expenditure of substantial resources.

If regulatory clearance of a service we propose to provide is granted, this clearance may be limited to those particular states and conditions for which the service is demonstrated to be safe and effective, which would limit our ability to generate revenue.

We cannot ensure that any service developed by us will meet all of the applicable regulatory requirements needed to receive marketing clearance. Failure to obtain regulatory approval will prevent commercialization of our services where such clearance is necessary. There can be no assurance we will obtain regulatory approval of our proposed services that may require it.

Our facilities may require compliance with PHS and FDA regulations and there is no assurance we are in and/or in the future will be in compliance with these protocols or that the PHS or FDA may find deficiencies upon inspection of our facility.

The Company believes that its processing methodologies, and its Monmouth Junction, New Jersey laboratory facilities to be in compliance with all current applicable regulations and guidelines as defined by the United States Public Health Service Act (“PHS” or the “PHS Act”) and the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulations and guidance as they relate to the operation of a tissue processing and storage facility.

On January 3, 2018, the Company received a warning letter from the US. FDA concerning its contract manufacturing services provided to Cells on Ice. The FDA has informed the Company through the letter that the FDA has determined that its autologous adipose derived cell product ATCELL is a drug under current FDA regulations and guidance. In response to the letter the Company ceased shipment of its ATCELL product within the United States. Since receiving the Warning Letter from the FDA the Company undertook a complete reorganization and remediation of its laboratory facility and operations and an expansion of its existing facility. The Company believes that its effort, new clean room laboratory facility, SOP and Quality Management system upgrades, and filing the IND application (No. 19089) on October 22, 2019 and approved by FDA on September 17, 2020, will satisfy the FDA’s concerns; no assurance can be given that we are in fact in compliance and/or in the future will be in compliance with these regulations or that upon inspection by PHS and/or FDA that we will not be required to amend our procedures or limit our operations based upon the finding of the inspection. Based upon discussions with the FDA Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA), the disposition of the warning letter is deferred, per current FDA policy, until the completion of the clinical studies and the submission of a Biologics License Application filing by the Company.

As and if we evolve from a company primarily involved in the research and development of our technology into one that is also involved in the commercialization of our technology, we may have difficulty managing our growth and expanding our operations.

As and if our business grows, we will in all likelihood need to add employees and enhance our management, systems and procedures. We may need to successfully integrate our internal operations with the operations of various third party service providers to produce and market commercially viable products. We may also need to manage additional relationships with various collaborative partners, suppliers and other organizations. Expanding our business may place a significant burden on our management and operations. We may not be able to implement improvements to our management information and control systems in an efficient and timely manner and we may discover deficiencies in our existing systems and controls. Our failure to effectively respond to such changes may make it difficult for us to manage our growth and expand our operations.

We currently are wholly dependent on John Arnone and Anthony Dudzinski; Conflicts of Interest.

We currently are wholly dependent on John Arnone and Anthony Dudzinski, our only executive officers and directors. Our future performance will depend on the continued services of such persons and our ability to retain such persons and to hire additional qualified persons. The loss of either of Mr. Arnone or Mr. Dudzinski, or both, would materially and adversely affect our proposed business. There are no assurances they will continue to do so. The employment agreements among other terms permit each of Mr. Arnone and Mr. Dudzinski to conduct other business activities outside of their employment with us. Each such employment agreement has been extended to 2023. We have not obtained any “key-man” life insurance policies nor do we presently plan to obtain or maintain any such policies on Mr. Arnone, Mr. Dudzinski or any other of our employees.

Mr. Arnone and Mr. Dudzinski collectively beneficially own in excess of 50.1% of our issued and outstanding voting stock and as a result have the ability to directly and/or indirectly make all decisions for us.

Mr. Arnone owns the majority of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Personal Cell Sciences Corporation, a Florida corporation (“PCS”). PCS is in the cosmetic business and has entered into a contract manufacturing and royalty agreement with us to manufacture conditioned medium. We also receive a royalty of 10% of the gross sales of any autologous products sold by PCS containing the conditioned medium that we manufacture. Mr. Arnone is also the CEO of Regenerative BioTherapy Corp. Regenerative BioTherapy Corp, a Florida corporation which entered into a licensing Agreement with the Company in September of 2014. The licensing agreement Permits Regenerative BioTherapy the use of the Company’s Standard Operating Procedures, Quality Management and General Operations procedures and process for the Company’s product lines and IP; to construct and operate a laboratory and treatment facility in the Caribbean. We may in the future seek to expand our business relationship with, and/or acquire PCS and/or Regenerative BioTherapy Corp. Management cannot assure you that any such business relationship or acquisition, if consummated, would be on terms favorable to us.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property from infringement by third parties, and third parties may claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property, either of which could materially and adversely affect us.

We intend to rely on patent protection, trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing technological innovation to protect our intellectual property, and we expect to require any employees, consultants and advisors that we may hire or engage in the future to execute confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements in connection with their employment, consulting or advisory relationships. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will not be breached or that we will have adequate remedies for any such breach.

Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our intellectual property or may develop intellectual property competitive with ours. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology or otherwise duplicate our proposed processes or services. As a result, we may have to litigate to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights to determine their scope, validity or enforceability. Intellectual property litigation is particularly expensive, time-consuming, diverts the attention of management and technical personnel and could result in substantial cost and uncertainty regarding our future viability. The loss of intellectual property protection or the inability to secure or enforce intellectual property protection would limit our ability to produce and/or market our services in the future and would likely have an adverse effect on any revenues we may in the future be able to generate by the sale or license of such intellectual property.

We may be subject to costly litigation in the event our future services or technology infringe upon another party’s proprietary rights. Third parties may have, or may eventually be issued, patents that would be infringed by our technology. Any of these third parties could make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our technology. We may also be subject to claims by third parties for breach of copyright, trademark or license usage rights. Any such claims and any resulting litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages or injunctions precluding us from utilizing our technology or services or marketing or selling any products or services under the same. An adverse determination in any litigation of this type could require us to design around a third party’s patent, license alternative technology from another party or otherwise result in limitations in our ability to use the intellectual property subject to such claims.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, the issuance of which could, among other things, reduce the proportionate ownership interests of current shareholders.

We are authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. As of September 30, 2020, there were 59,570,666 shares of Common Stock issued, (excluding 6,736,500 shares issuable upon exercise of all issued and outstanding stock options and warrants, and 2,134,784 shares issuable on the conversion of all outstanding Convertible Notes). No shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2020. Our board of directors has the ability, without seeking shareholder approval, to issue additional shares of Common Stock and/or to designate, establish the terms and conditions of, and issue shares of preferred stock for such consideration, if any, as the board of directors may determine. Any such shares of preferred stock could have dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of shares of Common Stock. In the event of such issuance, the preferred stock could, among other items, be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company, which could have the effect of discouraging bids for our Company and thereby prevent security-holders from receiving the maximum value for their shares of our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC pink sheets and is subject to additional trading restrictions as a “penny stock,” which could adversely affect the liquidity and price of such stock. If our Common Stock remains subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

Our Common Stock currently trades on the OTC pink sheets. The OTC pink sheets may be viewed by investors as a less desirable, and less liquid, marketplace. As a result, an investors may find it more difficult to purchase, dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the value of our Common Stock.

Because our Common Stock is not listed on any national securities exchange, such shares will also be subject to the regulations regarding trading in “penny stocks,” which are those securities trading for less than $5.00 per share, and that are not otherwise exempted from the definition of a penny stock under other exemptions provided for in the applicable regulations. The following is a list of the general restrictions on the sale of penny stocks:

Before the sale of penny stock by a broker-dealer to a new purchaser, the broker-dealer must determine whether the purchaser is suitable to invest in penny stocks. To make that determination, a broker-dealer must obtain, from a prospective investor, information regarding the purchaser’s financial condition and investment experience and objectives. Subsequently, the broker-dealer must deliver to the purchaser a written statement setting forth the basis of the suitability finding and obtain the purchaser’s signature on such statement.

A broker-dealer must obtain from the purchaser an agreement to purchase the securities. This agreement must be obtained for every purchase until the purchaser becomes an “established customer.”

The Exchange Act requires that before effecting any transaction in any penny stock, a broker-dealer must provide the purchaser with a “risk disclosure document” that contains, among other things, a description of the penny stock market and how it functions and the risks associated with such investment. These disclosure rules are applicable to both purchases and sales by investors.

A dealer that sells penny stock must send to the purchaser, within 10 days after the end of each calendar month, a written account statement including prescribed information relating to the security.

These requirements can severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because fewer brokers or dealers are likely to be willing to undertake these compliance activities. As a result of our Common Stock not being listed on a national securities exchange and the rules and restrictions regarding penny stock transactions, an investor’s ability to sell to a third party and our ability to raise additional capital may be limited. We make no guarantee that market-makers will make a market in our Common Stock, or that any market for our Common Stock will continue.

Our two (2) principal stockholders control us, and your interests as a stockholder may conflict with the interests of those persons.

Based on the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock held by our stockholders as of September 30, 2020, our two (2) directors/executive officers and their respective affiliates beneficially owned in excess of 50.1% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, those stockholders have the ability to control, among other items, the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. The interests of these persons may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership could harm the market price of our Common Stock by (i) delaying, deferring or preventing a change in corporate control, (ii) impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, and/or (iii) discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain acquire us. The control held over us by such 2 persons may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock due to investor’s awareness of conflicts of interest.

Our stockholders may experience significant dilution as a result of any additional financing using our securities.

We will need to raise significant additional capital in order to maintain and continue our operations. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or securities convertible into or exercisable for equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution and we may issue securities with better terms than those offered hereby.

We have not paid dividends on our Common Stock in the past and do not expect to pay dividends on our Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock.

No cash dividends have been paid on our Common Stock, and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on a stockholder’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

A sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline and may impair our ability to raise capital in the future.

Our Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC pink sheets, and there have been and may continue to be periods when it could be considered “thinly-traded,” meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our Common Stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. Finance transactions resulting in a large amount of newly issued shares that become readily tradable or other events that cause stockholders to sell shares, could place downward pressure on the trading price of our stock. In addition, the lack of a robust resale market may require a stockholder who desires to sell a large number of shares of Common Stock to sell the shares in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of our stock. If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, the market price of our Common Stock could decline. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

The Company may not have complied with various state securities laws in connection with prior issuances/sales of its securities.

Since April 2011, the date of the closing of the Asset Purchase, through September 30, 2020, the Company sold approximately $5,288,127 gross amount of its equity and debt securities. In connection with such sales, the Company may have violated various state securities laws. If the Company was determined by a court, FINRA or regulatory body with the required jurisdiction to have violated such laws, any such violation could result in the Company being required to offer rescission rights to each such prior purchase from the Company to rescind such purchases and pay to the prior purchaser an amount of funds equal to the purchase price paid by such prior investors plus interest from the date of any such purchase. No assurances can be given the Company will, if it is required to offer such purchasers rescission right, have sufficient funds to pay the prior purchasers the amount required. In addition, if the Company violated one or more securities laws of a state in connection with prior offers and/or sales of its securities, each such state could bring an enforcement, regulatory and/or other legal action against the Company which, among other things, could result in the Company having to pay substantial fines, not being able to sell securities in such states in the future and/or having a determination made by any such states against the Company that the Company failed to comply with such states’ securities laws, which could result in the Company, among other untoward effects including those set forth above, not being able to have its Common Stock be eligible for continued quotation on the OTC pink sheets and/or other trading markets and/or mediums that the Common Stock is then trading and/or eligible for quotation on and/or in the future seeks to be quoted or traded on.

As a “thinly-traded” stock, large sales can place downward pressure on our stock price.

Our stock experiences periods when it could be considered “thinly traded.” Financing transactions resulting in a large number of newly issued shares that become readily tradable, or other events that cause current shareholders to sell shares, could place further downward pressure on the trading price of our stock. In addition, the lack of a robust resale market may require a shareholder who desires to sell a large number of shares to sell the shares in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of our stock.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market for our Common Stock.

As of September 30, 2020, we had 6,736,500 of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants, and, 2,134,784 shares issuable on the conversion of outstanding Convertible Notes. If and when these securities are exercised or converted into shares of our Common Stock, the number of our shares of Common Stock outstanding will increase. Such increase in our outstanding shares, and any sales of such shares into the public market, could have a material adverse effect on the market for our Common Stock and the market price of our Common Stock.

In addition, from time to time, certain of our shareholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, after satisfying a six month holding period: (i) affiliated shareholders (or shareholders whose shares are aggregated) may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock and (ii) non-affiliated shareholders may sell without such limitations, provided we are current in our public reporting obligations. Rule 144 also permits the sale of securities by non-affiliates that have satisfied a one year holding period without any limitation or restriction. Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed by American CryoStem Corporation (the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the this Annual Report on Form 10-K., relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Background

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 13, 2009. On April 20, 2011, we acquired, through our wholly owned subsidiary American CryoStem Acquisition Corporation, substantially all of the assets from, and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of, ACS Global, Inc. (“ACS”) in exchange for our issuance of 21,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to ACS (the “Asset Purchase”). We filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2011 disclosing the Asset Purchase and certain related matters including, but not limited to, the appointment of our present officers and directors as well as the resignation by the former chief executive officer and sole director. Our fiscal year ends September 30 of each calendar year.

Overview

American CryoStem Corporation, which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our” and “our Company,” is a developer, marketer and global licensor of patented adipose tissue-based cellular technologies and related proprietary services with a focus on processing, commercial bio-banking and application development for adipose (fat) tissue and autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs). We maintain a strategic portfolio of intellectual property and patent applications that form our Adipose Tissue Processing Platform, which supports and promotes a growing pipeline of biologic products and processes, services and international licensing opportunities. Through our ACS Laboratories division, we operate an FDA registered, human tissue processing, cryopreservation, and cell culture and differentiation media development facility in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey.

Our growth strategy is centered on expanding our research and development through scientific collaborations to fully capitalize on (1) scientific breakthroughs that have been rapidly shaping the fast growing Regenerative and Personalized Medicine industries; (2) to provide these growth industries with a standardized cell processing platform and, (3) to enhance the delivery of healthcare through cellular-based therapies and applications which address disease treatment, wound and burn healing, joint repair and management, and personalized health and beauty care.

Through our ACS Laboratories division, our Company operates its FDA registered, human tissue processing, cryopreservation and cell culture and differentiation media development facility in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey. On a mission to fulfill the pressing need to set a global gold standard for end-to-end collection, processing, tracking and storage, American CryoStem has spent nearly years designing and constructing the necessary framework capable of replicating its protocols in markets around the world.

American CryoStem continues to focus on expanding and securing additional licensing arrangements with qualified partners around the world to institute and operate its turnkey laboratories that are properly equipped for processing and storing adipose tissue and ADSCs for use in Regenerative and Personalized Medicine applications.

Cash Requirements

We will require additional capital to fund marketing, operational expansion, processing staff training, as well as for working capital. We are attempting to raise sufficient funds would enable us to satisfy our cash requirements for a period of the next 12 to 24 months. In order to finance further market development with the associated expansion of operational capabilities for the time period discussed above, we will need to raise additional working capital. However, we cannot assure you we can attract sufficient capital to enable us to fully fund our anticipated cash requirements during this period. In addition, we cannot assure you that the requisite financing, whether over the short or long term, will be raised within the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Should we be unable to raise sufficient funds we may be required to curtail our operating plans if not cease them entirely. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future.

In order to move our Company through its next critical growth phase of development and commercialization and to ensure we are in position to support our research collaborations and market penetration strategies, Management continues to seek new investment into the Company from existing and new investors with particular emphasis on identifying the best deal structure to attract and retain meaningful capital sponsorship from both the retail and institutional investing communities, while limiting dilution to our current shareholders. Management also focuses its efforts on increasing sales and licensing revenue and reducing expenses.

Fiscal 2020 Operations

In Fiscal 2020, the Company’s Total Revenue increased to $557,903 from $321,647 in Fiscal 2019, due to a discontinuation of the moratorium on billing of fees to Baoxin. Accounts Receivable increased to $500,000 in Fiscal 2020 from $330,154 in Fiscal 2019 due to increased fees receivable from International Licensees. In Fiscal 2020 Consulting Fees, Licensing Fees and Royalties increased to $523,333 from $269,757 in Fiscal 2019. Short term liabilities decreased to $1,049,634 in Fiscal 2020 from $1,292,206 in Fiscal 2019 due to reduction of liabilities to contractors, consultants and professionals. Long term debt decreased to $848,414 in 2020 from $1,239,716 in 2019; due to movement of convertible debt from long term to current, payment of accrued salary and pay down of debt to the parent company. Cost of Sales increased to $43,837 in Fiscal 2020 from $31,876 in Fiscal 2019. Research and Development decreased to $19,176 in 2020 from $224,792 in 2019, since the company reduced its labor force and research and development contractors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Laboratory Expense was reduced to $74,093 in Fiscal 2020 from $156,512, due to reduction in activity, staffing and facilities required. Stock Compensation increased to $417,542 in Fiscal 2020 from $125,403, primarily due to stock options granted. Bad Debt Expense increased to $326,650 in Fiscal 2020 from $10,935 in Fiscal 2019. Management increased its allowance for Bad Debt by $326,650. The majority of the increase in Bad Debt Allowance was caused by Management’s concern for its International Partner, Baoxin’s ability to pay caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. General and Administrative Expenses were reduced to $439,577 in Fiscal 2020 from $587,791 in Fiscal 2019, since the company reduced payroll and consultants costs.

Going Concern

As of the date of this annual report, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our proposed business.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations since our inception. In addition, we have yet to generate an internal cash flow from our business operations or successfully raised the financing required to expand our business. As a result of these and other factors, our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to generate capital financing. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

Our plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: (i) obtaining funding from new investors to alleviate our working capital deficiency, and (ii) implementing a plan to generate sales of our proposed products. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to resolve our liquidity problems and achieve profitability in our current business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $41,760 and accounts receivable of $500,000. Our sources of funds in 2020 were tissue processing and storage fees, international product sales, consulting and licensing fees, and financing activities. In Fiscal 2020, we used $514,648 of net cash for Operations, and $12,731 for investment activities, including Patent Development, and the purchase of computer equipment at the corporate office. Additionally, the Company generated $545,339 from financing activities, which included option exercises, issuance of convertible notes, issuance of common stock and proceeds from the PPP Loan. The Company also paid down a portion of its Finance Lease and debt to its parent company.

The Company will continue to focus on its financing and investment activities but should we be unable to raise sufficient funds, we will be required to curtail our operating plans if not cease them entirely. We cannot assure you that we will generate the necessary funding to operate or develop our business. Please see “Cash Requirements” above for our existing plans with respect to raising the capital we believe will be required. In the event that we are able to obtain the necessary financing to move forward with our business plan, we expect that our expenses will increase significantly as we attempt to grow our business. Accordingly, the above estimates for the financing required may not be accurate and must be considered in light these circumstances.

There was no significant impact on the Company’s operations as a result of inflation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. See Note 1 and Note 3 of the Financial Statements for additional information.

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, whereby revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses when incurred.

Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Long-Lived Assets

We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the assets’ carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their estimated useful lives. If the carrying amounts are greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the fair values of those assets are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values are recorded as impairments in that fiscal period.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments (i.e., investments which, when purchased, have original maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the recorded amounts because of the liquidity and short-term nature of these items.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The new guidance provides better representation about expected credit losses on financial instruments. This Update requires the use of a methodology that reflects expected losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportive information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The company is studying the impact of adopting the ASU in fiscal year 2024, and what effect it could have. The Company believes the accounting change would not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months; and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 and additional ASUs are now codified as Accounting Standards Codification Standard (“ASC”) 842 - Leases (“ASC 842”). The Company adopted ASC 842 on October 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective transition approach and did not restate its comparative periods. As of the date of implementation on October 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a Finance Lease Right-of-Use-Asset and an Operating Lease Right-of-use-Asset and corresponding Lease Liability Obligations on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company elected to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

As the Right of use asset and the corresponding Lease Liability obligation were the same upon adoption of ASC 842, there was no cumulative effect impact on the Company’s accumulated deficit. Since the Equipment Asset related to the Capital Lease and the Finance Lease Asset established had different values, the Company recorded a cumulative effect modification on October 31, 2019 by a reducing equity (increasing the accumulated deficit) by $41,804.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. This new ASU applies to companies that have collaborative arrangements, or agreements that involve two parties that actively participate in a joint operating activity. We believe our contract with Baoxin falls under the collaborative arrangements guidance in (ASC 808). ASU 2018-18 is effective for public companies for years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company plans to implement ASU 2018-18 in Fiscal 2021 and is currently assessing the impact on its contracts.

Related Party Transactions.

At September 30, 2020, the Company was indebted to a company that is majority owned by the Company’s two chief executive officers for $99,125.

The advances are due on demand, are unsecured, and carry no interest rate.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

Item 8. Financial Statements

Our financial statements are contained in pages F-1 through F-20 which appear at the end of this Annual Report.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

The Company’s Accountants (Fruci & Associates) are unchanged for Fiscal 2020. There were no disagreements with our Accountants on Accounting or Financial Disclosure for Fiscal 2020.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure (i) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020, and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as a whole.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance of such reliability and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has conducted, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2020. Management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting used the criteria set forth in SEC Release 33-8810 based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies (2013). Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2020, based on these criteria.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

¹Beneficial ownership is calculated based on 59,570,666 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2020 together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock within sixty (60) days of the date hereof for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Commission. The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person includes shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of securities and subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently convertible or exercisable or convertible or exercisable within sixty (60) days of the date hereof. The shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to those convertible securities, options or warrants are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such convertible securities, options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The above calculations include an adjustment as required to include all vested options granted to John Arnone and Anthony Dudzinski.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

On April 20, 2011, we acquired, through our wholly owned subsidiary American CryoStem Acquisition Corporation, substantially all of the assets from, and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of, ACS Global, Inc. (formerly known as American CryoStem Corporation) a Nevada corporation (“ACS Global”), in exchange for 21,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. At the time of the acquisition, John Arnone, our Chairman of the Board, CEO and President was a director and the secretary of ACS Global and Anthony Dudzinski, one of our directors and our Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer and Secretary was a director, president and secretary of ACS Global. In addition, Mr. Arnone owns 18,250,000 shares of Common Stock of ACS Global and has the right to receive an additional 12,000,000 such shares upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock of ACS Global owned by him and Mr. Dudzinski owns 6,020,000 shares of ACS Global Common Stock and has the right to receive an additional 12,000,000 such shares upon the conversion of ACS Global preferred stock owned by him. As a result, assuming the conversion of such preferred stock, Mr. Arnone and Mr. Dudzinski would have been deemed to be the beneficial owners of approximately 37.27% and 22.20% of the Common Stock of ACS Global, respectively. Further, Mr. Arnone and Mr. Dudzinski, as control persons of ACS Global may be deemed to beneficially own the 21,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issued to ACS Global in the acquisition. Each of Mr. Arnone and Mr. Dudzinski disclaim such beneficial ownership.

On September 15, 2020, the Company reached an Agreement with ACS Global, Inc. to issue to ACS Global, Inc., 1,000,000 restricted common shares as payment of $100,000 of the outstanding loan and on October 1, 2020 the Company executed a note with ACS Global for a principal amount of $99,125.00 representing the outstanding balance (following the September payment) due to ACS Global, Inc. The Note matures on October 1, 2023 and carries an interest rate of 10% per annum which may be paid in cash or stock. The note may be prepaid at any time by the Company.

On September 15, 2020, the Company reached an agreement with Mr. Arnone and Mr. Dudzinski to reduce its indebtedness to them of $200,000 each in exchange for the exercise of certain options held by them resulting in the issuance of 1,000,000 restricted common shares each to Mr. Arnone and to Mr. Dudzinski.

Mr. Arnone remains a Director and Secretary of ACS Global and Mr. Dudzinski remains as a Director, President and Treasurer of ACS Global. Mr. Arnone is also the Chairman and CEO of Personal Cell Sciences, Inc.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of American CryoStem Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American CryoStem Corporation and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred significant net losses since inception. This factor raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

American CryoStem Corporation

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2020 and 2019

NOTE 1. Organization of the Company and Significant Accounting Policies

American CryoStem Corporation (the “Company”) is a publicly held corporation formed on March 13, 2009 in the state of Nevada as R&A Productions Inc. (R&A).

In April 2011, R&A purchased substantially all the assets and liabilities of American CryoStem Corporation (ACS) a company formed in 1987, for 21 million shares of common stock. ACS was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. At the date of the purchase, the former operations of R&A were discontinued and the name of the Company was changed to American CryoStem Corporation.

The Company is in the business of collecting adipose tissue, processing it to separate the adult stem cells, and preparing such stem cells for long-term storage. The process allows individuals to preserve their stem cells for future personal use in cellular therapy. The adipose derived stem cells are prepared and stored in their raw form without manipulation, bio-generation or the addition of biomarkers or other materials, making them suitable for use in cellular treatments and therapies offered by existing and planned treatment centers worldwide. Individualized collection and storage of adult stem cells provides personalized medicine solutions by making the patient’s own preserved stem cells available for future cellular therapies.

The Company has devoted a significant amount of its time and resources to develop its technologies and intellectual property. These efforts have resulted in the development of cell lines, cell culture medium and other laboratory products which the Company believes are suitable for licensing and distribution by third parties. Additionally the Company has initiated a licensing program to license its technologies to laboratories currently processing other types of biologic materials including cord blood and general blood banks. The Company closed its first licensing agreement in 2014 and intends to pursue additional licensing partners in the future.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American CryoStem Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries are APAC CryoStem Limited, a Hong Kong company and APAC CryoStem (Shenzhen) Ltd. which were established to support its licensing agreement and operations, and collect the licensing fees in Hong Kong and China. Currently Mr. Arnone and Mr. Dudzinski serve as management and directors of both companies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Management believes all amounts have been adjusted properly.

Accounting policies refer to specific accounting principles and the methods of applying those principles to present fairly the company’s financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies discussed below include those that management has determined to be the most appropriate in preparing the company’s financial statements.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) uniformly applied requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the financial statements and for the period they include. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash - For the purpose of calculating changes in cash flows, cash includes all cash balances and highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Occasionally, the Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits.

Accounting for Investments - The Company accounts for investments based upon the type and nature of the investment and the availability of current information to determine its value. Investments in marketable securities in which there is a trading market will be valued at market value on the nearest trading date relative to the Company’s financial reporting requirements. Investments which there is no trading market from which to obtain recent pricing and trading data for valuation purposes will be valued based upon management’s review of available financial information, disclosures related to the investment and recent valuations related to the investment’s fundraising efforts.

Research and Development - Research and development expenses include both external and internal expenses. External expenses primarily include costs of intellectual property development, clinical trial development, fees paid for third party testing services, clinical supply and manufacturing expenses, regulatory filing fees, consulting and professional fees as well as other general costs related to the execution of research and development activities. Internal expenses primarily include compensation of employees engaged in research and development activities. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Manufacturing costs are generally expensed as incurred.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2020 and 2019

NOTE 1. Organization of the Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition - Effective October 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective transition method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the periods presented. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, certain collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. ASC 606 also impacts certain other areas, such as the accounting for costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The standard 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. See Note 3 “Revenue Recognition” for additional information.

Advertising - Advertising Costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising Costs were $0 for Fiscal 2020 and $998 for Fiscal 2019, which is in Sales and Marketing Expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Bad Debt Expense - The Company provides, through charges to income or loss, a charge for bad debt expense, which is based upon management’s evaluation of numerous factors. These factors include economic conditions prevailing, a predictive analysis of the outcome of the current portfolio by client, and prior credit loss experience of each client. The Company uses the information from this analysis to develop an estimate of bad debt reserve based upon the amount of accounts receivable by client at the balance sheet date. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $337,515 at September 30, 2020 and $10,865 at September 30, 2019.

Inventory - Inventory is valued at lower of cost or market using the first in, first out method. Inventory consists of the disposables and materials used to create production kits, for processing of adipose tissue and cellular samples, the manufacture of Medias used to prepare the samples and cryoprotectant for the storage of the samples.

Inventory was composed of Raw Materials and Finished Goods, which was valued at $20,401 at September 30, 2020 and $25,855 at September 30, 2019.

Long Lived Assets - The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.

Fixed Assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is estimated as follows:

Office Equipment	5 years
Lab Equipment & Furniture	7 years
Lab Software	5 years
Leasehold Improvements	15 years

Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable income or deductible expenses in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period adjusted for the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740, Income Taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. All tax returns from fiscal years 2014 to 2019 are subject to IRS and State of New Jersey audit.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

NOTE 2. Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., which assume the continuity of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has made this assessment for the period one year from date of the issuance of this report. Management’s plans with regard to this matter are to continue to fund its operations through fundraising activities in fiscal 2021 for future operations and business expansion.

NOTE 3. Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps:

a. Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

b. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

c. Determine the transaction price;

d. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

e. Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

We only apply the five step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, if the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract, determine those that are performance obligations, and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2020 and 2019

NOTE 3. Revenue Recognition (continued)

Our major sources of revenue during the reporting periods were 1. Tissue Collection, Processing and Storage revenue from various customers; 2. Annual Storage Fees for our ATGRAFT and ATCELL products, from customers who have had stored in our laboratory facility, along with former Bio-Life and Cytori storage customers purchased by American CryoStem; 3. Licensing and other fees from Baoxin, Cell Source, CryoViva, Pepro-Tech and Personal Cell Sciences; and 4. Products sales revenues from Baoxin and CryoViva.

The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the pattern or timing of recognition of our Tissue Processing, Storage Fees or Product Sales Revenue, since:

Tissue Collection, Processing & Storage Revenue is recognized on the date the process is completed and stored in our facility.

Storage Fees are charged annually.

Licensing and other Fees - This is based on the passage of time and as the customer has access to the license. The Company reviewed and analyzed the contract with Baoxin. Management’s judgments are:

Baoxin qualifies as a customer since American CryoStem does not take significant risks or receive significant gains from the agreement.

The right to use the license does not have significant standalone functionality because consulting is required by American CryoStem in order for the customer to be able to use the license.

The Company has determined as of the date of this report not to make an allowance upon recognition of the Baoxin revenue based upon review of Baoxin’s most recent audited financial statements, documentation provided by Baoxin concerning the completion of their new 100,000 sq. ft facility during the pandemic and the ongoing uncertainties regarding the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in China.

The majority of our Product Sales Revenue continues to be recognized when the customer takes control of the product.

Revenue and Allowances

The following table provides information about Fees and Product Sales Revenue for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

	Years Ended September 30,
	2020		2019
Licensing & Other Fees
Baoxin	$	500,000	$	225,000
Cell Source		23,333		43,333
Personal Cell Sciences		—		1,424
Total	$	523,333	$	269,757

Baoxin	$	11,680	$	19,683
CryoViva	$	10,060		5,840
Science Diagnostics Materials, LTD	$	930		—
Total	$	22,670	$	25,523

Tissue Processing and Storage was not included in the table since this revenue was provided by customers who were individuals rather than corporate partners.

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in our contracts and identify the performance obligations for each promise to transfer to the customer goods or to provide the customer with a service that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the goods and services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are specifically stated or are implied by customary business practices. We determined that the following distinct goods or services represent separate performance obligations:

ATGRAFT and ATCELL Customer Tissue Processing Fees

ATGRAFT and ATCELL Customer Storage Fees

Licensing and other Fees

Supply of our Tissue Collection, Processing and Storage Products to Baoxin and CryoViva

NOTE 3. Revenue Recognition (continued)

We principally sell our products to end users, who have agreements with us to utilize our processing and storage technology. We provide processing and storage services to individual customers. We charge various fees for consulting services or licensing of our technologies; which includes processing and storage agreements, arrangements with biotechnology processing facilities for the provision of our services within a limited geographic area.

For the customers that purchase our Tissue Collection, Processing and Storage Products we transfer control at the point in time when the goods are shipped from our facility, shipping costs are paid by the customer and these costs are not accrued when the related revenue is recognized.

Variable Consideration

Under ASC 606, we are required to make estimates of the net sales price, including estimates of variable consideration (such as rebates and discounts) and recognize the estimated amount as revenue when we transfer control of the product or provide the service to our customers. Variable Consideration must be determined using either an “expected value” or a “most likely amount” method. At the current time the Company does not offer rebates or discounts on our provision of ATGRAFT and ATCELL customer processing and storage fees; Licensing and other Fees; and offer Tissue Collection, Processing and Storage products; therefore we have not made any provisions for variable consideration related to discounts or rebates.

Product Returns

We only offer product returns in the event a delivered product is found to be defective for which we offer replacement only. The Company has not had any product returned based upon a defective product claim however return experience may change over time.

NOTE 4. Loss per Share

The Company applies ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” to calculate loss per share. In accordance with ASC 260, basic and fully diluted net loss per share has been computed based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the years. The dilutive effects of the convertible notes and the options outstanding are not included in the calculation of loss per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The Company had 6,736,500 and 8,761,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants for Fiscal Years 2020 and 2019, respectively; and 2,134,784 and 2,134,784 shares issuable on the conversion of outstanding Convertible Notes for Fiscal Years 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Net Loss per share for the Fiscal Years is computed below:

	September 30, 2020			September 30, 2019
Net Income (Loss)	$	(1,179,285	)	$	(1,082,217	)
Basic & Fully Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share:	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.02	)
Weighted Average of Common Shares Outstanding - Basic & fully diluted		51,659,523			48,915,644

NOTE 5. Fixed Assets

The fixed assets accounts of the Company are comprised as follows:

	September 30, 2020			September 30, 2019
Laboratory Equipment	$	257,905		$	386,579
Laboratory Leasehold Improvements		110,286			110,286

NOTE 10. Option Issuances

The Company applies ASC 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to account for its option issues. Accordingly, all options granted are recorded at fair value using a generally accepted option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Company uses the Black-Sholes option pricing model to measure the fair values of its option grants. For purposes of determining the option values at issuance, the fair value of each option granted is measured at the date of the grant by the option pricing model using the parameters of the volatility of the Company’s share prices and the risk free interest rate. The intrinsic value of the shares underlying the options is zero.

The Company normally issues options to its key personnel and consultants at the end of each fiscal year or as may be included in retainer or employment agreements. The Company prepares an option agreement for each option grant that includes the date of the grant, the vesting schedule, the expiration date and other terms of the granted options. The Company’s option plan calls for the immediate expiration and cancellation of the granted options in the event of the termination of employment or the contract associated with the original option grant except for certain circumstances including retirement or disability. The Company’s method for exercising options is to require delivery of the executed option agreement with the payment of the option price to the Company by the option holder. Upon receipt and confirmation of payment of the exercise price by Company management, the Company prepares board minutes and instructs the transfer agent to issue the requisite number of shares underlying the option exercise.

Using the Black-Sholes valuation method the company issued options and recorded compensation of $320,042 for Fiscal 2020. The Company did not issue any options for Fiscal Year 2019. The fair value of the options issued in Fiscal 2020 was calculated using the following assumptions:

Dividend yield		0.00	%
Risk free interest rate		0.125	%
Volatility		146.37	%
Share Price	$	0.20
Term		5 years

NOTE 11. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements under generally accepted accounting principles clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

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

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company valued Accounts Receivable, Bridge Notes and Convertible Notes at cost. Financial instruments’ carrying value approximates fair value. Stock Options are valued using level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 12. Leases

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, one of the Company’s leases does not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate which is based on the interest rate of similar debt outstanding. Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provision of ASC 842 Leases.

NOTE 12. Leases (continued)

The lease expense for Fiscal 2020 was $31,800, which consisted of amortization expense of $29,394 and interest expense of $2,406. The cash paid under the operating lease for Fiscal 2020 was $31,800. At September 30, 2020, the remaining lease term was 0.58 years (7 months) and the discount rate was 8%.

The Company leases a laboratory facility, in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, from Princeton Corporate Plaza LLC for $2,389 per month. The lease expired on September 30, 2020 and the Company can has a renewal option for an additional 6 months. Since the lease obligation is less than twelve months, the Company does not report a lease related asset or liability for this lease. Laboratory Rent paid in Fiscal 2020 was $28,668 and $126,247 in Fiscal 2019.

NOTE 13. Concentration of Credit

The Company received approximately 92% in Fiscal 2020; and approximately 72% in Fiscal 2019 of its revenue from one client. The Company had accounts receivable from Baoxin of $825,000 at September 30, 2020 and $328,154 at September 30, 2019.

The Company regularly reviews all receivables and determines the amount of allowances if any on a quarterly basis. Due to difficulties and uncertainties caused by COVID and going concern considerations management has decided to make an allowance of $325,000 for the Baoxin receivable, representing the amount due that is more than one year old.

The Company made this determination following review of Baoxin’s most recent audited financial statements, receipt of their accounts receivable confirmation, and the completion of their new facility in Shenzhen.

Since Baoxin has restarted its revenue-producing operations which includes product purchases from CRYO and the receivable is “collateralized” by the licenses granted by CRYO; which CRYO could cancel the agreement due to nonpayment, and information from financial statements; we believe that Baoxin has sufficient assets to cover the amount billed in Fiscal 2020.

The Company’s accounts receivable from non-US countries was approximately 98% for Fiscal 2020 and 96% for Fiscal 2019. The Company received approximately 98% of its revenues in Fiscal 2020 and 86% of its revenues in Fiscal 2019 from non-US countries.

NOTE 14. Investments

During fiscal year 2014, the Company invested $1,000 in a joint venture. The joint venture is called Autogenesis Corporation and was incorporated in the state of Florida. The Company and its two chief executives own 50% of Autogenesis. Autogenesis was formed for the purpose of developing a wound healing protocol. The Company has no further obligations to Autogenesis and the joint venture is responsible for its own funding. Autogenesis has no material business operations since its inception. In Fiscal 2019 the Company had written off its investment in Autogenesis.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company invested $300,000 in Baoxin Ltd., a Chinese company that is involved in tissue storage and processing in Baoxin, China. Baoxin is not a publicly traded corporation and the investment is carried at cost at September 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company annually reviews its investments for impairment. After reviewing the status of Baoxin’s Financial Condition, as stated above in Note 13, the Company has determined that no impairment of its investment is necessary for Fiscal 2020.

The Company reviewed information provided by Baoxin including its most recent audited financial statements and information regarding the completion of its new facility in Shenzhen, China and the effects on Baoxin of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company determined not to make adjustment downward or upward at the time of this report. The Company will continue to closely monitor the situation as it assists Baoxin with bringing their new facility online.

Considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on Baoxin there is no assurance concerning the timing and processing volume or near term utilization or future processing volumes of the Baoxin’s new facility.

The timing of Baoxin’s opening of its new facility in light of the pandemic, and its ability to continue to fund itself though investments until it can return to normal operations will be closely monitored by American CryoStem Management to determine if any further adjustment needs to be made. The timing of any future adjustments, short or long term cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

Baoxin will develop, own and operate multiple laboratory/treatment/training facilities in China using the American CryoStem’s intellectual property. American CryoStem has received an upfront fee of $200,000 USD and a 5 year minimum annual guarantee of $500,000 USD per year from Baoxin. Additionally, as part of the transaction American CryoStem has invested $300,000 into Baoxin to obtain a 5% minority equity in Baoxin (China) and an option to acquire up to a 20% equity ownership interest in its Regenerative Medicine Center in Hong Kong (HK). The short term goals are to set up two additional GMP grade adipose tissue processing and storage facilities in Beijing and Shanghai to cover the need of the whole China region, and a proper education facility in China to promote the use of ATGRAFT as a more natural dermal filler over artificial fillers.

NOTE 18. Subsequent Events

The Company has made a review of material subsequent events from September 30, 2020 through the date of issuance of this report and has determined to include the following subsequent events:

On December 3, 2020, the Company entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), the nation’s largest and most renowned joint military medical center serving the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines located in Bethesda, Maryland.

A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is a written agreement between a government agency and a non-federal entity that allows the federal government and its non-federal partners to optimize and maximize use of their resources, exchange technical expertise in a protected fashion, share intellectual property resulting from collaborative effort, and speed commercialization of federally developed technology. The Company has committed to provide materials including ATCell samples and Umbilical Cord stem cells, ACSelerate Max Growth and differentiation mediums testing and other processing supplies, processing and testing methods. The Company’s total in-kind and financial commitments are limited to $120,000 in supplies and expense reimbursement during the life of the Agreement.

The Company maintains the rights to commercialize all technology developed under this CRADA Agreement. The technology is centered on creating in vitro (test tube) assays to standardize and commercialize new treatment protocols; optimizing quality control measures; and developing standardized protocol potency assays for precise therapy dosing.

Management believes that these new assays can be commercialized to generate substantial sales and licensing revenues and create value for the Company’s stakeholders.

Through the Collaboration entitled “Stem Cells for Regeneration and Medical Innovation, a multi-faceted and multi-staged research project with WRNMMC Biomedical Laboratories, the Company plans to develop, validate and standardize baseline and assay metrics to identify mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) characteristics and quantities across various cell biomarkers and exosome expressions data sets for its ATCell™ product for biologics developers’ use worldwide. The focus of the Collaboration is to enable the creation of predictive and prescriptive cellular models which will further enhance American CryoStem’s mission as a premier biologics’ manufacturer and developer and be highly valuable to the medical community, biotech developers, and the public at large.

WRNMMC is part of The Military Health System (MHS) which is the enterprise within the United States Department of Defense that provides health care to active duty, Reserve component and retired U.S. Military personnel and their dependents

The missions of the MHS are complex and interrelated: To ensure America’s 1.4 million active duty and 331,000 reserve-component personnel are healthy so they can complete their national security missions.

To ensure that all active and reserve medical personnel in uniform are trained and ready to provide medical care in support of operational forces around the world.

To provide a medical benefit commensurate with the service and sacrifice of more than 9.5 million active duty personnel, military retirees and their families.

The MHS also provides health care, through the TRICARE health plan, to:

active duty service members and their families,

retired service members and their families,

Reserve component members and their families,

surviving family members,

Medal of Honor recipients and their families

some former spouses, and

Others identified as eligible in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System.

The MHS has a $50+ billion budget and serves approximately 9.5 million beneficiaries. The MHS employs more than 144,217 in 51 hospitals, 424 clinics, 248 dental clinics and 251 veterinary facilities across the nation and around the world, as well as in contingency and combat-theater operations worldwide.

The Company’s long term research is focused on further developing standardized cellular processing models to support FDA, IND treatment protocol approvals by further identifying, and validating certain mechanisms and characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells related to regulating modulation of immune response(s) and promoting tissue regeneration and stability (homeostasis) for the treatment of traumatic injuries, inflammation, auto-immune diseases, and brain and organ damage associated with viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), including, the expanding group of people dealing with the chronic and debilitating symptoms of what is commonly termed “Long Haul COVID” or “Long COVID.”
