PART I
 
 
As used in this annual report, "we", "us", "our", "CBMG", "Company" or "our company" refers to Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc. and, unless the context otherwise requires, all of its subsidiaries.
 
Overview
 
As of the first quarter of 2013, our principal line of business is in the field of biomedicine. Specifically, through our wholly owned subsidiary Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. (BVI), we are involved in the development of new treatments for cancerous and degenerative diseases utilizing proprietary cell technologies, which include, without limitation, (i) TC-DC (tumor cell specific dendritic cells) for treatment of a broad range of cancers, (ii) haMPC (human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells) for treatment of joint disease, (iii) huMPC (human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells), and (iv) MNP (human embryo-derived motor neuron precursor cells) and NP (human embryo-derived neuronal precursor cells) for treatment of central nervous system diseases. Leading up to our recent change of control, we were primarily engaged in financial consulting. We continue to operate our financial consulting business under a wholly owned subsidiary, as discussed in further detail below.
 
 
Corporate History
 
Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as EastBridge Investment Group Corporation), was originally incorporated in the State of Arizona on June 25, 2001. The Company's principal activity through June 30, 2005 was to manufacture mobile entertainment products.
 
In 2005, the Company decided to exit the mobile entertainment market and dedicate its activities to providing investment related services in Asia, with a strong focus on high GDP growth countries, such as China. The Company concentrated its efforts in the Far East (Hong Kong, mainland China, Australia) and in the United States. We have and continue (as a subsidiary of CBMG) to provide consulting services necessary for small to medium-size companies to obtain capital to grow their business. The Company assists its clients in locating investment banking, financial advisory and other financial services necessary to become public companies in the United States or find joint venture partners or raise capital to expand their businesses. The Company locates consultants which assist with marketing, sales and strategic planning services for its clients to prepare them to enter the United States capital market.
 
Merger with Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd.
 
On November 13, 2012, EastBridge Investment Group Corporation (“EastBridge” or “Parent”) and CBMG Acquisition Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and among EastBridge, Merger Sub and Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“CBMG BVI”), as amended on January 15, 2013, January 31, 2013 and February 6, 2013, pursuant to which the parties agreed that Merger Sub shall merge with and into CBMG BVI, with CBMG BVI as the surviving entity. The transactions under the Merger Agreement as amended are referred to as the “Merger”. The Merger was subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, (a) approval by the shareholders of CBMG BVI, (b) resignations of the departing directors and officers of EastBridge, Merger Sub and CBMG BVI, and (c) execution of certain ancillary agreements, including, but not limited to, executive employment agreements with EastBridge, compliance certificates, lock up agreement and opinions of counsel, as referenced in Article VII of the Merger Agreement.
 
On December 20, 2012 CBMG BVI obtained shareholder approval by holding an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, in which holders of a majority of its capital stock approved the merger pursuant to British Virgin Islands law. Since the Merger was structured as a triangular merger in which a wholly owned merger subsidiary of EastBridge merged with CBMG BVI, no shareholder approval on the part of the EastBridge shareholders was required under Delaware law.  We note that although EastBridge issued in excess of 20% of its shares in the merger, since its shares are not listed on a national exchange, no shareholder approval requirement applied to this transaction under any exchange rules.”

Subsequent Events
 
On February 5, 2013, the registrant formed a new Delaware subsidiary named EastBridge Investment Corp. (“EastBridge Sub”). Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement by and between the registrant and EastBridge Sub dated February 5, 2013 (the “Contribution Agreement”), the registrant contributed all assets and liabilities related to its consulting services business, to its newly formed subsidiary, EastBridge Investment Corp., from and after which it continued to conduct the consulting services business and operations of EastBridge at the subsidiary level. A copy of the Contribution Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 of the Original Filing made on February 12, 2013.
 
On February 6, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), the Parties executed all documents and filed the Plan of Merger with the registrar of the British Virgin Islands. Upon consummation of the Merger on the Effective Date, CBMG BVI shareholders were issued 3,638,932 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of EastBridge (the “EastBridge Common Stock”) constituting approximately 70% of the outstanding stock of EastBridge on a fully-diluted basis and the current EastBridge shareholders will retain 30% of the Company on a fully-diluted basis. Specifically, each of CBMG BVI’s ordinary shares (“CBMG Ordinary Shares”) was converted into the right to receive 0.020019 of a share of EastBridge Common Stock.
 
A copy of the plan of acquisition, consisting of the Merger Agreement dated November 13, 2012 and Amendments 1, 2 and 3 thereto, are included as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 to the Original Filing made on February 12, 2013.
 
As a result of the Merger, the Company now has two operating subsidiaries: EastBridge Sub and CBMG (BVI) (which in turn has its own subsidiaries).
 
In connection with the Merger, effective on March 5, 2013, the Company (formerly named “EastBridge Investment Group Corporation”) changed its name to “Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc.” In addition in March 2013 we changed our corporate headquarters to 530 University Avenue, #17 in Palo Alto, California.
 
 
Reorganization and Share Exchange
 
Effective January 18, 2013, the Company completed its reincorporation from the State of Arizona to the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). In connection with the Reincorporation, the Company exchanged every 100 shares of the Arizona entity for 1 share of the successor Delaware entity, with the same effect as a 1:100 reverse stock split, which became effective on January 31, 2013. Please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by the Company on January 25, 2013. All share and per share information in this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, reflects this reverse split.

Variable Interest Entity (VIE) Agreements
 
Through our wholly foreign-owned entity and 100% subsidiary, Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. (Wuxi) (“WFOE”) we control and have ownership rights by means of a series of agreements with Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. (Shanghai) (“CBMG Shanghai”).  The following is a description of each of these VIE agreements:
 
Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement.   Through the WFOE we are a party to an exclusive business cooperation agreement dated September 17, 2012 with CBMG Shanghai, which provides that (i) the WFOE shall exclusively provide CBMG Shanghai with complete technical support, business support and related consulting services; (ii) without prior written consent of the WFOE, CBMG Shanghai may not accept the same or similar consultancy and/or services from any third party, nor establish any similar cooperation relationship with any third party regarding same matters during the term of the agreement; (iii) CBMG Shanghai shall pay the WFOE service fees as calculated based on the time of service rendered by the WFOE multiplying the corresponding rate, plus an adjusted amount decided by the board of the WFOE; and (iv) CBMG Shanghai grants to the WFOE an irrevocable and exclusive option to purchase, at its sole discretion, any or all of CBMG Shanghai’s assets at the lowest purchase price permissible under PRC laws.  The term of the agreement is 10 years, provided however the agreement may extended at the option of the WFOE. Since this agreement permits the WFOE to determine the service fee at its sole discretion, the agreement in effect provides the WFOE with rights to all earnings of the VIE.
 
Loan Agreement.  Through the WFOE we are a party to a loan agreement with CBMG Shanghai, Cao Wei and Chen Mingzhe dated September 17, 2012, in accordance with which the WFOE agreed to provide an interest-free loan to CBMG Shanghai.  The term of the loan is 10 years, which may be extended upon written consent of the parties.  The method of repayment of CBMG Shanghai shall be at the sole discretion of the WFOE, including but not limited to an acquisition of CBMG Shanghai in satisfaction of loan obligations.
 
 
Exclusive Option Agreement with Cao Wei.  Through the WFOE, we are a party to an option agreement with CBMG Shanghai and Cao Wei dated May 28, 2012, in accordance with which: (i) Cao Wei irrevocably grants the WFOE an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, or designate other person to purchase the entire equity interest in CBMG Shanghai as then held by him, at an aggregate purchase price to be determined; and (ii) any proceeds obtained by Cao Wei through the above equity transfer in CBMG Shanghai shall be used for the payment of the loan provided by the WFOE under the aforementioned Loan Agreement.
 
Exclusive Option Agreement with Chen Mingzhe.  Through the WFOE, we are a party to an exclusive option agreement with CBMG Shanghai and Chen Mingzhe dated May 28, 2012, under which: (i) Chen Mingzhe irrevocably grants the WFOE an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, or designate other person to purchase the entire equity interest in CBMG Shanghai for an aggregate purchase price to be determined; and (ii) any proceeds obtained by Chen Mingzhe through the above equity transfer in CBMG Shanghai shall be used for the payment of the loan provided by the WFOE under the aforementioned Loan Agreement.
 
Power of Attorney from Cao Wei.  Through the WFOE we are the recipient of a power of attorney executed by Cao Wei on October 10, 2012, in accordance with which Cao Wei authorizes the WFOE to act on behalf of him as his exclusive agent with respect to all matters concerning his equity interest in CBMG Shanghai, including without limitation to attending the shareholders meetings of CBMG Shanghai, exercising voting rights and designating and appointing senior executives of CBMG Shanghai.
 
Power of Attorney from Chen Mingzhe.  Through the WFOE we are the recipient of a power of attorney executed by Chen Mingzhe on September 17, 2012, in accordance with which Chen Mingzhe authorizes the WFOE to act on behalf of him as his exclusive agent with respect to all matters concerning his equity interest in CBMG Shanghai, including without limitation to attending the shareholders meetings of CBMG Shanghai, exercising voting rights and designating and appointing senior executives of CBMG Shanghai.
 
Equity Interest Pledge Agreement with Cao Wei.  Through the WFOE we are a party to an equity interest pledge agreement with CBMG Shanghai and Cao Wei dated May 28, 2012, in accordance with which: (i) Cao Wei pledged to the WFOE the entire equity interest he holds in CBMG Shanghai as security for payment of the consulting and service fees by CBMG Shanghai under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement; (ii) Cao Wei and CBMG Shanghai submitted all necessary documents to ensure the registration of the Pledge of the Equity Interest with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”), and the pledge became effective on January 24, 2013; (iii) on the occurrence of any event of default, unless it has been successfully resolved within 20 days after the delivery of a rectification notice by the WFOE, the WFOE may exercise its pledge rights at any time by a written notice to Cao Wei.
 
Equity Interest Pledge Agreement with Chen Mingzhe.   Through the WFOE we are a party to an equity interest pledge agreement with CBMG Shanghai and Chen Mingzhe dated May 28, 2012, in accordance with which: (i) Chen Mingzhe pledges to the WFOE the entire equity interest he holds in CBMG Shanghai as security for payment of the consulting and service fees by CBMG Shanghai under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement; (ii) Chen Mingzhe and CBMG Shanghai submitted all necessary documents to ensure the registration of the Pledge of the Equity Interest with SAIC, and the pledge became effective on January 24, 2013; (iii) on the occurrence of any event of default, unless it has been successfully resolved within 20 days after the delivery of a rectification notice by the WFOE, the WFOE may exercise its pledge rights at any time by a written notice to Chen Mingzhe.

Our relationship to our controlled VIE entity, Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. (Shanghai), through the VIE agreements, is subject to various operational and legal risks.  Management believes the Mr. Chen and Mr. Cao as record holders of the VIE’s registered capital have no interest in acting contrary to the VIE agreements.  However, if Mr. Chen and Cao as shareholders of the VIE were to reduce or eliminate their ownership of the registered capital of the VIE, or if Mr. Cao ceases to serve as a director and/or officer of the other CBMG entities, their interests may diverge from that of CBMG and they may seek to act in a manner contrary to the VIE agreements (for example by controlling the VIE in such a way that is inconsistent with the directives of CBMG management and the board; or causing non-payment by the VIE of services fees).  If such circumstances were to occur the WFOE would have to assert control rights through the powers of attorney and other VIE agreements, which would require legal action through the PRC judicial system.  While we believe the VIE agreements are legally enforceable in the PRC, there is a risk that enforcement of these agreements may involve more extensive procedures and costs to enforce, in comparison to direct equity ownership of the VIE entity.  We believe based on the advice of local counsel that the VIE agreements are valid and in compliance with PRC laws presently in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable PRC laws were to change or are interpreted by authorities in the future in a manner which challenges or renders the VIE agreements ineffective, the WFOE’s ability to control and obtain all benefits (economic or otherwise) of ownership of the VIE could be impaired or eliminated.   In the event of such future changes or new interpretations of PRC law, in an effort to substantially preserve our rights we may have to either amend our VIE agreements or enter into alternative arrangements which comply with PRC laws as interpreted and then in effect.

For further discussion of risks associated with the above, please see the section below titled “Risks Related to Our Structure” beginning on page 34.
 

BIOMEDICINE BUSINESS

Our biomedicine business was founded in 2009 as a newly formed specialty biomedicine company by a team of seasoned Chinese-American executives, scientists and doctors. In 2010 we established a GMP facility in Wuxi, and in 2012 we established a U.S. FDA GMP standard protocol-compliant manufacturing facility in Shanghai. Our focus has been to monetize the rapidly growing health care market in China by marketing and commercializing stem cell and immune cell therapeutics, related tools and products from our patent-protected homegrown cell technology developed by our research and development team, as well as by utilizing exclusively in-licensed intellectual properties.
 
Our treatment focal points are cancer, neurodegenerative and other degenerative diseases comprised of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and stroke. Our in-licensed product candidate Tumor Cell Targeted Dendritic Cell (TC-DC) has successfully completed a U.S. FDA Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Under internationally accustomed drug administration reciprocity we are utilizing this proven data in a synergistic, analogous China-based SFDA Phase I/II Clinical Trial for the treatment of liver cancer, and a Phase II/III Clinical Trial for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. We use the patient’s own proliferating, self-renewing cancer cells and immune cells to provide a clean source of tumor antigens, without contamination from extraneous cells. We are confident that we are able to utilize the skin cancer data for other potential cancer treatments. In addition, we are planning to start allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MsC) preclinical studies in lupus and diabetes. We have also exclusively in-licensed Motor Neuron Precursor Cell and Neuronal Cell technology and plan to launch trials for the treatment of ALS, SMA, and stroke. As the cancers which our technology targets all have relatively low survival rates, annual incidence (number of new cases) is roughly equivalent to existing served available market. If a disease span is long, the number of patients will be accumulative and larger than new cases per year. There are 300,000 new cases of liver cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) per year in China. There are 80,000 new cases of metastatic melanoma, with those diagnosed to be Stage IV having a median survival time of 18 months. Additionally, there are 15 million people aged 60 or older with KOA in China. For spinal muscular atrophy Type I (SMA-I), there are about 1,000 newborns with SMA-I disease in China annually. The median life span of these children is less than 6 months. Adult incidence is approximately 2 million in China.

Our plan calls for 120, 60 and 30 patients respectively in clinical trials for the treatment of each of the cancers, KOA, and SMA. We have employed a multinational Contract Research Organization (CRO) to manage trial design and to minimize errors and delays. The first safety/efficacy milestone report for the Cancer and KOA clinical trials are scheduled in the third quarter of 2013. The first revenue-generating patients relating to these trials are expected to be scheduled for first half of 2014.
 

We have a long term joint venture with an affiliate of California Stem Cell Inc. (CSC). Under our joint venture arrangement we are collaborating with CSC to develop and market Cancer (TC-DC), Motor Neuron Precursor Cells (MNP) and Neuronal Precursor Cells (NP) in greater China and Taiwan. These methodologies enable us to conduct certain clinical trials and commercialization. Our TC-DC therapy utilizes dendritic cells that have been taught the unique "signature" of the patient's cancer, in order to trigger an effective immune response against cancer stem cells, the root cause of cancer metastasis and recurrence. We have a process to develop MNP and NP cells with high purity levels, validated by synapse formation, and have shown functional innervation with human muscle cells. These products enable us to conduct certain clinical trials and pursue commercialization for TC-DC, and explore the development of new therapies for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases.

The four unique lines of TC-DC, adult adipose-derived, umbilical cells, and neural stem cells enable us to create multiple cell formulations in treating specific medical conditions and diseases, as well as applying single cell types in a specific treatment protocol. Management believes that our adult adipose-derived line will become commercially viable and market-ready within a year. Our facilities are certified to meet the international standards NSF/ANSI 49, ISO-14644, ANSI/NCSL Z-540-1 and 10CFR21, as well as Chinese SFDA standards CNAS L0221. In addition to standard protocols, we use proprietary processes and procedures for manufacturing our cell lines, comprised of:

 Banking processes that insure cell preservation and viability

 DNA identification for stem cell ownership

 Bio-safety testing at independently certified laboratories.
 
Regenerative Medicine and Cell Therapy

Regenerative medicine is the “process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function”. Cell therapy as applied to regenerative medicine holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by rejuvenating damaged tissue and by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to heal previously irreparable tissues and organs. Medical cell therapies are classified into two types: allogeneic (cells from a third-party donor) or autologous (cells from one’s own body), with each offering its own distinct advantages. Allogeneic cells are beneficial when the patient’s own cells, whether due to disease or degeneration, are not as viable as those from a healthy donor. Similarly, in cases such as cancer, where the disease is so unique to the individual, autologous cells can offer true personalized medicine.
 

Regenerative medicine can be categorized into major subfields as follows:

Cell Therapy. Cell therapy involves the use of cells, whether derived from adults, children or embryos, third party donors or patients, from various parts of the body, for the treatment of diseases or injuries. Therapeutic applications may include cancer vaccines, cell based immune-therapy, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, vision impairments, orthopedic diseases and brain or spinal cord injuries. This subfield also includes the development of growth factors and serums and natural reagents that promote and guide cell development.
 
Tissue Engineering. This subfield involves using a combination of cells with biomaterials (also called “scaffolds”) to generate partially or fully functional tissues and organs, or using a mixture of technology in a bioprinting process. Some natural materials, like collagen, can be used as biomaterial, but advances in materials science have resulted in a variety of synthetic polymers with attributes that would make them uniquely attractive for certain applications. Therapeutic applications may include heart patch, bone re-growth, wound repair, replacement neo-urinary conduits, saphenous arterial grafts, inter-vertebral disc and spinal cord repair.

Diagnostics and Lab Services. This subfield involves the production and derivation of cell lines that may be used for the development of drugs and treatments for diseases or genetic defects. This sector also includes companies developing devices that are designed and optimized for regenerative medicine techniques, such as specialized catheters for the delivery of cells, tools for the extraction of stem cells and cell-based diagnostic tools.

All living complex organisms start as a single cell that replicates, differentiates (matures) and perpetuates in an adult through its lifetime. Cell therapy is aimed at tapping into the power of cells to prevent and treat disease, regenerate damaged or aged tissue and provide cosmetic applications. The most common type of cell therapy has been the replacement of mature, functioning cells such as through blood and platelet transfusions. Since the 1970s, bone marrow and then blood and umbilical cord-derived stem cells have been used to restore bone marrow and blood and immune system cells damaged by chemotherapy and radiation used to treat many cancers. These types of cell therapies have been approved for use world-wide and are typically reimbursed by insurance.

Over the past number of years, cell therapies have been in clinical development to attempt to treat an array of human diseases. The use of autologous (self-derived) cells to create vaccines directed against tumor cells in the body has been demonstrated to be effective and safe in clinical trials. Dendreon Corporation’s Provenge therapy for prostate cancer received FDA approval in early 2010. Researchers around the globe are evaluating the effectiveness of cell therapy as a form of replacement or regeneration of cells for the treatment of numerous organ diseases or injuries, including those of the brain and spinal cord. Cell therapies are also being evaluated for safety and effectiveness to treat heart disease, autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and bone diseases. While no assurances can be given regarding future medical developments, we believe that the field of cell therapy is a subset of biotechnology that holds promise to improve human health, help eliminate disease and minimize or ameliorate the pain and suffering from many common degenerative diseases relating to aging.

Cord Blood and Regenerative Medicine

Because a person’s own (autologous) cord blood stem cells can be safely infused back into that individual without being rejected by the body’s immune system, and because they have unique characteristics compared to other sources of progenitor cells, they are an increasing focus of regenerative medicine research.

Current estimates indicate that approximately 30% of the world population could benefit from regenerative medicine. With autologous cells, there is no risk of rejection from the immune system, so physicians and researchers are only performing these potential cord blood therapies on children who have their own stem cells available.

Researchers are exploring the use of cord blood stem cells in regenerative medicine applications including Type 1 diabetes, cardiovascular repair, treatment of brain injury (such as cerebral palsy), and wound repair, and preclinical research is being conducted for treatments of stroke and hearing loss.
 

Market for Cell-Based Therapies

Cell-based therapies utilizing progenitor cells now represent a market of approximately $50 billion with an expected growth rate of 15% compounded annually, projected to reach an estimated $88 billion by 2014. We believe that an increasing portion of healthcare spending both in China and worldwide will be directed to cell and tissue based therapies, driven by an aging population, and because cell therapy treatments could become the safest, most effective, and cost-effective method for treating chronic disease for millions of patients.

Chronic and degenerative diseases such as cerebral palsy, Autism, cardiovascular diseases, spinal cord injury, autoimmune diseases, cartilage loss, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and many others are major threats to public health and the solvency of health systems worldwide. Current treatments for these diseases cannot meet medical needs. Cell therapy is a new technology that has the potential to alleviate much of the burden of these chronic and degenerative diseases in a cost-effective manner.

China accounts for about 40% of liver cancer deaths globally and about 300,000 new cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; 90% of liver cancer are HCC) per year. Aggressive surgical resection of tumors is one of the primary treatment options for patients with HCC. However, post-surgery 2-year recurrence rate of HCC is still over 51%. In 2009, the market for cell-based cancer therapies reached $2.7 billion, and is expected to reach $7.5 billion in 2014.

Approved cell therapies have been appearing on the market in recent years. In 2011, however, the industry was dealt two setbacks when Geron Corporation discontinued its embryonic program, and when Sanofi-Aventis acquired Genzyme Corporation and did not acquire the product rights relating to the allogeneic cell technology of Osiris Therapeutics, Inc., a partner of Genzyme and a leader in the field. In both cases there were difficulties navigating the U.S. regulatory requirements for product approval. Inadequate trial designs were cited in the executive summary of the 2012 New York Stem Cell Summit Report as contributing to these failures.

The number of cell therapy companies that are currently in Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials has been gathering momentum, and we anticipate that new cellular therapy products will appear on the market within the next several years.

Cell Therapy Development for Chronic Diseases

Stem cells are very primitive and undifferentiated cells that have the unique ability to transform into many different cells, such as white blood cells, nerve cells or heart muscle cells. Adult stem cells are found in the bone marrow, in peripheral blood umbilical cord blood and other body organs. For over 40 years, physicians have been using adult stem cells to treat various blood cancers, and only recently has the promise of using adult stem cells to treat a myriad of other diseases begun to be realized.

Within the adult stem cell classification, the use of cells is either autologous (meaning donor and recipient/patient are the same) or allogeneic (donor and recipient are different people). The use of allogeneic stem cells will be appropriate for certain disease conditions while autologous will have its advantages depending on the indication and therapeutic goal.

OUR STRATEGY

Our biomedicine business is in the development stage. Currently we do not have any products or therapies that have been approved for marketing to the general public or for clinical application.
 

We are developing our business in cell therapeutics and capitalizing on the increasing importance and promise that adult stem cells have in regenerative medicine. Our most advanced candidate involves adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to treat knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Based on current estimates we expect our biomedicine business to generate revenues primarily from the development of therapies for the treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis within the next two years and Hepatocellular Carcinoma within the next three to five years.
 
Our strategy is to commercialize both home grown and partnered cellular medicine technologies in a safe and efficient manner, and achieve a leading position in the China specialty pharmaceutical market for cell therapeutics. Our near term objective is to pursue successful clinical trials in China for our KOA application. By applying U.S. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and protocols and following authorized treatment plans in China we are differentiated with a first mover’s advantage and a fortified barrier to entry from competitors.

Additionally, CBMG participates in the formulation of stem cell policy in China as a member of the Class III Medical Technology Approval Committee within the Chinese Doctor’s association, an advisory body for the State Food & Drug Administration (SFDA) and Ministry of Health (MOH) on stem cell policy and regulatory affairs. We believe that few competitors in China are as well-equipped as we are in the clinical trial development, diversified U.S. FDA protocol compliant manufacturing facilities, regulatory compliance and policy making participation, as well as a long-term presence in the U.S. with U.S.-based management and investor base.

We intend to continue our business development effort by adding other proven domestic and international biotechnology partners to monetize the China health care market.

CBMG’s Cellular Biomedicine Technology Platforms

In order to expedite fulfillment of patient treatment CBMG has been actively developing technologies and products with a strong IP fortification, including human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (haMPC) for Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) and other indications, and human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (huMPC) for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and other indications. CBMG has also been actively engaging with world leading scientists and companies, to develop tumor cell specific dendritic cells (TC-DC) therapy for the treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (Liver Cancer).

CBMG's proprietary and patent-protected production processes and clinical protocols enable us to produce raw material, manufacture cells, and conduct cell banking and distribution. Our proprietary cell lines (haMPC, huMPC, TC-DC, MNP, as further discussed below) provide us with the ability to customize specialize formulations to address complex diseases and debilitating conditions.

CBMG has been developing disease-specific clinical treatment protocols. These protocols are designed for each of these proprietary cell lines (haMPC, huMPC, TC-DC, MNP) to address patient-specific medical conditions. These protocols include medical assessment to qualify each patient for treatment, evaluation of each patient before and after a specific therapy, cell transplantation methodologies including dosage, frequency and the use of adjunct therapies, potential adverse effects and their proper management.
 

The protocols of haMPC therapy for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and TC-DC therapy for hepatic cellular carcinoma (liver cancer) have been approved by the Institutional Review Board of qualified hospitals for clinical trials. Once the trials are completed, the clinical data will be analyzed by a qualified third party statistician and reports will be filed by the hospitals to regulatory agencies for approval for use in treating patients.

CBMG has two cGMP facilities in Shanghai and Wuxi, China that meet international standards and have been certified by the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA). In any precision setting, it is vital that all controlled-environment equipment meet certain design standards. To achieve this goal, our Shanghai cleanroom facility undergoes a top-to-bottom yearly calibration and validation from ENV Services, Inc., an ISO-accredited, US-based testing and certification company, and has received and maintained an ISO-14644 cleanroom certification. Additionally, our facilities have been certified to meet the ISO-9001 Quality Management standard by SGS Group, and accredited by the American National Bureau of Accreditation (ANBA). These cGMP facilities make CBMG the only company in China with facilities that have been certified by US- and European-based, FDA authorized ISO accreditation institutions.

In total, our cGMP facilities have over 13,000 sq. ft. of cleanroom space with the capacity for eight independent cell production lines and a manufacturing capability for over 5,000 patients for autologous cell therapies per year. In addition, CBMG has two cell banks located in Shanghai and Wuxi facilities with a storage capacity to host more than 200,000 individual cell sources. There is also a 400 sq. ft. SFDA-standard products quality control center and an 800 sq. ft. laboratory with state of the art equipment. Our cell banking services include collection, processing and storage of cells from patients. This enables healthy individuals to donate and store their stem cells for future personal therapeutic use.

Most importantly, CBMG has a manufacturing and technology team with more than 30 years of relevant experience in China, England, and the USA. All of these factors make CBMG a high quality cell products manufacturer in China.

Adipose Derived SC Therapies

Adult mesenchymal stem cells can currently be isolated from a variety of adult human sources, such as liver, bone marrow, and adipose (fat) tissue. The advantages in using adipose tissue are that it is a one of the richest sources of pluripotent cells in the body, the easy and repeatable access to fat via liposuction, and the simple cell isolation procedures that can begin to take place even on-site with minor equipment needs.

These very cells have the capability to differentiate into bone, cartilage, tendon, skeletal muscle, and fat under the right conditions. As such, human adipose-derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells (haMPC’s) are an attractive focus for medical research and clinical development. Importantly, we believe both allogenic and autologously sourced haMPC’s may be used in the treatment of disease. Numerous studies have provided preclinical data that support the safety and efficacy of allogenic and autologously derived haMPC, offering a choice for those where factors such as donor age and health are an issue.

Additionally, certain disease treatment plans call for an initial infusion of these cells in the form of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), an initial form of cell isolation that can be completed and injected within ninety minutes of receiving lipoaspirate. The therapeutic potential conferred by the cocktail of ingredients present in the SVF is also evident, as it is a rich source for preadipocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, T regulatory cells and anti-inflammatory macrophages.
 

Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA)

We are currently conducting a Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Enrollment of patients is ongoing, and is expected to be completed by May 2013. The treatment period for each patient is three months. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the joints. KOA is one of the most common types of OA. Pathological manifestation of OA is primarily local inflammation caused by immune response and subsequent damage of joints. Restoration of immune response and joint tissues are the objective of therapies.

Fifty-three percent of KOA patients will degenerate to the point of disability. Conventional treatment usually involves invasive surgery with painful recovery and physical therapy. Currently, patients suffering from osteoarthritis in China number approximately 40 million people. Of these, approximately 70% suffer from knee osteoarthritis (KOA). As drug-based methods of management are ineffective, some 1.5 million patients with this disability will degenerate to the point of requiring artificial joint replacement surgery every year. However, only forty thousand will actually be able to undergo replacement surgery, leaving the majority of patients to suffer from a life-long disability due to lack of effective treatment.

Human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (haMPC’s) are currently being considered as a new and effective treatment for osteoarthritis, with a huge potential market. In 2009, the worldwide market for orthopedic, tissue repair and cell therapy related products reached $3.6 billion, and sales are expected to reach $5.5 billion in 2014.

In order to bring haMPC-based KOA therapy to market, our market strategy is to: (a) establish regional laboratories that comply with cGMP standards in Shanghai and Beijing that meet Chinese Ministry of Health (MOH) approval; and (b) file joint applications with Class AAA hospitals near our laboratories to use haMPC’s to treat knee osteoarthritis in a clinical trial setting.

With CBMG’s KOA therapy, a mere 50ml of adipose tissue is obtained via liposuction from the patient. Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) is prepared using 25 millimeters of adipose tissue for immediate injection into the knee area, with the remaining tissue to be further processed to purify, expand and banked haMPCs for additional injections 1 and 3 months later.

CBMG’s proprietary SVF purification method and subsequent haMPC proliferation and processing knowhow enable haMPC therapy to be a low cost, safe, and effective treatment for KOA. Additionally, banked haMPCs can continue to be stored for additional use in the future.

CBMG entered into a services agreement with Renji Hospital in affiliation with Shanghai Jiaotong University on January 28, 2013 to begin a Phase I/II clinical trial using haMPC’s to apply to KOA indications in accordance with Chinese regulatory requirements. Under the clinical trial agreement Renji Hospital is required to obtain and maintain the necessary qualifications for conducting clinical trials, select cases and organize the implementation of the clinical trials and ensure that the clinical trials are in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

The objective of this clinical trial is evaluate the efficacy and safety of this therapy, with results primarily measured by the WOMAC score (developed in 1982 by at Western Ontario and McMaster Universities), a set of standardized metrics used by health professionals to evaluate the condition of patients with osteoarthritis. Upon the completion of Phase II of the clinical trial, CBMG in accordance with the terms of the services agreement will retain the intellectual property rights to all confidential information and other information, including but not limited to invention, patent and technical know-how. CMBG expects to use such information and then be free to work with other Class AAA hospitals and apply for MOH approval in the use of haMPC’s in KOA therapy. CBMG intends to offer haMPC therapies through hospitals, subject to obtaining required licenses.
 

In order to expand our KOA therapy, new Class AAA hospitals will need to successfully complete a confirmatory clinical trial (post-market study) involving a total of 10-20 patients, in order to jointly apply to MOH for a license to carry out haMPC-based KOA therapy. In this manner, CBMG will be able to build a network of Class-AAA hospitals for clinical applications.

Independent research and development work can be done with CBMG’s haMPC isolation and culture kit, as well as standardizing technical training and the clinical treatment program. This will ensure the quality of KOA cell therapy technology and act as an accelerated marketing tool.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus, commonly known as lupus, is an incurable disease that turns the body’s immune system against itself, eating away at skin, kidneys, nervous system and joints. The current standard of treatment in more severe cases of lupus involves the use of immunosuppressive drugs to control the disease, but often leads to many negative side-effects making this treatment option difficult for the patient by affecting quality of life, as immunosuppressant therapy is often life-long.

Recent studies have shown that human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (haMPC’s) have the capability to modulate and suppress the immune response in tissue where inflammation is occurring. As haMPC’s have also been proved to have little to no threat of rejection from the host’s immune system, these cells have the potential to become the basis of a new therapy for lupus patients.

Twelve patents applications have been filed and to date five have been granted. Our IP attorney’s analysis report shows CBMG’s IP portfolio has no infringement of other patents in the China market.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

CBMG is in the process of negotiating exclusive rights to market tumor cell-dendritic cell (TC-DC) therapy for late stage HCC in greater China. We are co-developing HCC therapy candidates in collaboration with CSC and its affiliate.

In January 2013, we commenced a Phase I clinical trial with PLA 85 hospital in Shanghai, for HCC therapy. Enrollment of patients is ongoing, and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2013. The treatment period in this trial is six months. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of an autologous immune cell therapy in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients following resection (surgical tumor removal) and Transarterial Chemo Embolization (TACE) Therapy, a type of localized chemotherapy technique.

Recent scientific findings indicate that tumors contain specialized cells that allow for the generation of new tumors. Named cancer stem cells, these cells are responsible for both tumor metastases and recurrence. The central concept behind CBMG’s technology is to immunize against these cancer stem cells.

A number of our competitors are developing cancer treatment therapies, such as Promethera Biosciences of Belgium, and Beike. However unlike our competitors, the therapies we are researching utilize the liver cancer stem cells as an antigen – these proliferating, self-renewing liver cancer stem cells provide a clean source of tumor antigens, without contamination from extraneous cells. The patient’s immune cells are isolated and trained to recognize, attack and eliminate the cancer cells.

Tumor stem cell specific dendritic cell (TC-DC) therapy was developed by Dr. Robert Dillman through more than 20 years of clinical research at the Hoag Cancer Center, California. The core idea of the TC-DC technique is to activate a patient’s immune system by exposure of cancer stem cell antigens to the key antigen presenting cells, dendritic cells (DC). In order to expose cancer stem cell antigens effectively, cancer tissue from patients is digested and its cancer stem cell is expanded and co-cultured with the patient’s own DCs in vitro. Together with GM-CSF the patient’s DCs are loaded with fixed cancer stem cells and are administered back to the patient in order to boost the patient’s immune system to recognize cancer stem cell antigens and then effectively eliminate them.

According to existing laws in the PRC, this technology is considered a Category III medical technology and is managed and approved by the Ministry of Health. The current market strategy is for CBMG to partner with Class-AAA hospitals to set up either on-site or localized cGMP standard cell biology laboratories, and apply to MOH for Phase I/II clinical trials to use TC-DC therapy for liver cancer. Upon completion of these clinical trials, partnered Class-AAA hospitals will jointly file applications to MOH for a license to treat liver cancer using TC-DC technology. For hospitals that have received a license, CBMG will provide liver cancer targeted DC cells, with the hospital charging appropriate cell therapy fees to the patient as determined by local government guidelines. We expect to derive revenues from services fee to hospitals.

One of the primary difficulties in administering effective cancer therapy is in the uniqueness of the disease – no two cancers are the same. Importantly, CBMG sources both immune and cancer cells directly from the patient, and our completely autologous approach to cancer therapy means that each dose is specific to each individual.

Using a proprietary cell production platform, CBMG has the ability to process, prepare and produce cancer stem cells directly from patient tissue. These cells are then purified and irradiated, and combined with specialized immune cells to destroy the cancer stem cells from which tumors arise. This therapy is delivered to the patient in the form of a minimally invasive subcutaneous injection.

After receiving resected tumor tissue at our lab, the first step is to perform an enzyme digest that breaks down the solid tumor into individual cells. These cells then enter a process and purification stage, where contaminating cells are eliminated. The next step is to establish a cell line in the expansion phase, which typically takes 6 weeks, depending on the quality and proliferation rate of the sample. Also during this stage, the patient undergoes a leukapheresis procedure in which circulating white blood cells are extracted, and further processed into dendritic cells in the lab. In the last step, the patient’s dendritic cells are combined with irradiated cancer stem cells and thus learn the particular cancer’s “signature”, and finally these dendritic cells are delivered over a series of subcutaneous injections.
 

Other Technologies

Cellular Biomedicine Group has licensed and transferred technology from California Stem Cell to produce clinical-quality motor neuron and neuronal progenitor cells from human embryonic stem cells (hESC’s). These stem cell-derived motor neurons have potential applications in treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), a condition caused by a loss of both spinal and upper motor neurons, and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), where neurons simply waste away and die. Both of these diseases have no known cure, and are extremely debilitating.

CBMG has developed a stem cell line called human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (huMPC). These huMPCs have a tremendous capacity for self-renewal whilst also maintaining their multipotent ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes as well as myocytes and neurons.

The youngest, most potent huMPCs are obtained from umbilical cord tissue, called Wharton’s jelly, which is normally discarded as medical waste after the birth of a newborn. This tissue, called Wharton’s jelly, contains a much higher concentration of huMPC’s compared to cord blood. Researchers have shown that allogeneic huMPCs have therapeutic effects in cerebral palsy, Autism, cardiovascular diseases, spinal cord injury, autoimmune diseases, cartilage damage, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and many other degenerative diseases. CBMG has built a huMPC line with a high safety profile and preliminary evidence suggests therapeutic use in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cerebral palsy (CP).

Patents and Other Intellectual Property

We have built a substantial intellectual property portfolio to fortify our freedom of operation within our specialties in the cellular biomedicine field. Our portfolio contains patents, trade secrets, and know-how. Our technology can be grouped based on origin of progenitor or stem cells into adipose, umbilical cord, bone marrow and embryo.

Joint Venture with California Stem Cell, Inc.

With CSC’s affiliate, CBMG has created a joint venture named China Cell Technology Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation (CCT), the purpose of which is to conduct clinical trials with hospitals in China, and develop and market therapies within Greater China.  Presently, activities under the joint venture relate to clinical trials and joint development of therapies based upon the use of motor neuron cells (MNP/NP).   The term of the joint venture runs for an initial term of ten years until September 8, 2021, and automatically renews for successive additional five year terms unless either party notifies the other party that it declines to renew no less than three months prior to the end of the current term.  Under our joint venture arrangement, we are obligated to pay a 2% royalty to CSC for sales derived from CSC in-licensed technology, and 5% of the post-listing net proceeds from the JV’s first public listing in the event that the JV itself conducts an initial public offering.

In the third quarter of 2012 we paid CSC’s affiliate a $1 million milestone payment for an exclusive license to MNP/NP technology within Greater China for the development of treatments and/or use of products in research, clinical trials, distribution, marketing and treatment of diseases and applications including dermatology and wound healing, neurological diseases, ophthalmology, inflammation and cardiovascular disease.  The license runs for an initial term of three years until July 9, 2015, and automatically renews for successive additional two year terms, unless either party notifies the other party that it declines to renew no less than three months prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal term.

In addition to the above, CBMG is collaborating with California Stem Cell Inc. (CSC) to develop cancer immunotherapy treatments based on TC-DC technology, initially for the development of therapies to treat HCC. This technology involves harvesting the patient’s dendritic cells, which are trained to trigger an effective immune response against cancer stem cells derived from the patient’s tumor.

CBMG plans to coordinate with CSC’s study and be ready to contribute investment in services, facilities and equipment, as required. We intend to formalize and clarify each respective party’s rights and responsibilities in the ongoing collaboration with CSC on these cancer programs, in the near future.

Additionally CBMG will seek to collaborate with other potential research partners in the development of other therapy candidates for different applications, or based on different technologies within the same applications. 
 
In addition to support from CSC’s California-based team of scientists and medical professionals, we have built an experienced team capable of refining methodologies and protocols used in clinical applications, which includes R&D and manufacturing experts to maintain quality control and achieve rapid time to market.
 
Research and Development
 
Together with the technology underlying our six in-licensed U.S. patents and twenty-four trade secret clinical protocols we have an intellectual property (IP) platform containing what we believe includes the elements necessary to apply for and commercialize our product candidates in China, other than with respect to HCC.  We currently intend to formalize our ongoing collaborative arrangement with CSC and its affiliate with regard to co-development of HCC technology, which may involve our acquisition of additional license rights originating from CSC.  Our intellectual property counsel, Xu & Partners based in Shanghai, has reviewed our intellectual property portfolio and in June 2013 issued an unqualified legal opinion that we have freedom of operation with regard to certain proposed products or therapies.  We believe that to date we have built a well-developed IP platform, and going forward the work ahead involves continuing to narrowly develop application-specific IP.  Although we own substantial intellectual property, our greater focus is on commercialization, marketing and in-licensing.  Accordingly we believe that our R&D budget will be a relatively small component of our overall capital expenditures. 
 
Employees

Our biomedicine business has 32 full time employees in China and is in the process of adding more clinical trial and medical specialists. 63% of these employees are holders of medical, technical or scientific credentials and qualifications, and 56% of these employees hold advanced degrees.
 
CONSULTING SERVICES BUSINESS
 
Our consulting business is conducted through EastBridge Investment Corp. (“EastBridge Sub”), our wholly owned subsidiary.
 
Our business plan for our consulting services division aims to provide financial structure planning and guidance for capital raising transactions, whether in the form of public offerings, joint ventures, or financial advisory services, to small-to-medium-sized businesses in Asia and the United States. Through our EastBridge Sub, we manage our clients’ investor relations services, public relations services, and render advice on marketing, sales, and strategic planning. EastBridge Sub provides clients with valuable information about various U.S. stock markets, and their general entry requirements, as well as information about U.S. investors before clients become reporting companies. Through EastBridge Sub, we also serve as consultants and advisors to these companies to obtain loans, find business partners, find merger candidates or assist with feasibility studies.
 
 
The target clients for our consulting services are mostly in the Chinese territories and other Asian countries as well as the United States. We search for companies our management believes have viable business strategies which have potential for raising capital in U.S. markets. Though we focus on opportunities that management believes will create value for both our shareholders and clients, we cannot provide any assurance that such opportunities will create value for our shareholders, or otherwise increase the value of their investment in the Company.
 
Our income for the consulting business sector is derived from the following:
 
 
Cash fees and stock equities received as compensation from clients for our listing service;

 
Revenues from operating joint ventures with operating companies generating cash flows; and

 
Fees earned in providing bridge loans to small companies through U.S. lending sources.
 
Competition-Consulting Services
 
At this time, our management is unaware of any other companies that offer similar services to smaller companies with the same focus in Asia or in the United States but we are aware that this service is presently provided by individuals on a piecemeal basis. We believe that large investment firms cannot obtain the fees from smaller companies they are capable of generating from the larger Asian or American companies. Smaller consulting or investment companies may lack the resources to penetrate the barriers to raising capital because of geographical, political, linguistic, cultural, or economy-of-scale reasons. However, the major brokerage and financial service companies, as well as some smaller companies, have advertising and marketing capabilities which may be accessed by smaller Asian and American companies.
 
As higher returns on investment in Asia and in the United States become available, these returns will most likely attract new competitors.
 
Government Approval and Regulation-Consulting Services
 
We face risks posed by any adverse laws and regulations affecting our consulting business or our clients and future treaties or regulations that may be enacted by the U.S. or foreign governments. In order to conduct its business, EastBridge Sub is required to obtain some or all of the following licenses, approvals and/or concessions from each country it is in: business registration, tax certificate, right to conduct business certificate, employment approval, residency approval, asset appraisal, acquisition approval, import/export license and foreign remission approval. There is no assurance that EastBridge Sub will obtain or maintain any of the approvals and licenses when it is required to do so.
 
EastBridge Sub is also subject to potential U.S. regulations concerning the consulting services that it provides. Neither the Company nor EastBridge Sub is registered as an investment adviser, an investment company or banking institution, or a registered broker-dealer. In the event EastBridge Sub is required to obtain any such registrations, it could prevent EastBridge Sub from conducting its business. However, in anticipation of our business development, we are considering to have EastBridge Sub become a broker-dealer and obtain the necessary licenses and government approvals to operate as a broker-dealer. However, there is no assurance if the aforesaid plan will be carried out, or if so, will be successful.
 
The Company had undergone an audit by the Internal Revenue Service related to employment tax liability for the 2006-2008 tax years, and depending on the outcome of the audit, we may be subject to additional taxes. An assessment of additional taxes plus penalties and interest have been recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2012.
 
 
Strategies for Our Consulting Services Business
 
The primary business strategy of EastBridge Sub for the consulting services business is to use its extensive network of Chinese and U.S. contacts to locate investment and merchant banking companies, business consultants, marketing firms, investor and public relations firms, appropriate exchanges, markets and market makers, attorneys and accountants capable of helping emerging growth Asian and American companies develop the infrastructure and expertise to (i) obtain access to private and public U.S. capital markets; (ii) expand their businesses in both their native Asian market and the U.S. market (if viable for export); and (iii) develop capital through capital raising and expansion. Target clients are mostly located in China, Hong Kong, Australia and in the United States, where the focus is on high growth companies where the expected return can be realized within a one to two year period and the potential gain is substantial for us and our clients. We generally seek transactions in which substantial opportunities exist for business growth. Keith Wong (President and Chief Executive Officer of EastBridge Sub) and Norman Klein (Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Investor Relations Officer of EastBridge Sub) each have over twenty years of experience in the industrial, sales and financial industries. Mr. Wong is fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese and is able to overcome cultural barriers as a result of having lived and worked for many years in both China and the U.S. Our management has the background to understand a client's business quickly and is able to take fast and decisive actions to achieve business opportunities for our clients due to our smaller size. We offer U.S. companies the opportunity to expand into the Chinese market. EastBridge Sub’s Beijing office will assist U.S. companies to execute distribution and/or manufacturing agreements or other joint venture partnerships to distribute and/or manufacture products and/or provide services in China.
 
EastBridge Sub currently has twelve (12) clients that we are assisting with becoming listed on a U.S. stock exchange or over-the-counter (OTC) market and/or obtaining a joint venture partner in the Far East and/or introducing the client to a broker/dealer or investment banker which helps them raise working capital for business expansion. For the clients that aim to become listed in the U.S., EastBridge Sub provides assistance to clients and their investment bankers, attorneys and accountants with the auditing and legal processes to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and help locate broker dealers to begin trading their stock on a United States stock market or exchange. EastBridge Sub clients often become public companies in the U.S. by conducting a direct registration process with the SEC. However, some find a U.S. “shell’ company and conduct a reverse merger. Once a client is registered as a public company and its stock begins trading in the U.S., the value of the stock in that client is recorded as revenue for that quarter and as an asset on our balance sheet. EastBridge Sub typically receives a 10% to 20% equity position in a client as consideration for consulting services along with cash consulting fees.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

We have a limited operating history and expect significant operating losses for the next few years.
 
We are a company with a limited operating history and have incurred substantial losses and negative cash flow from operations in periods leading up to the second half of 2012. Although in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, on a consolidated basis we earned net income of approximately $5.2 million primarily due to the realization of proceeds from investment securities received as compensation, our cash flow from operations may not be consistent from period to period, our biomedicine business has not yet generated any revenue, and we may incur losses and negative cash flow in future periods, particularly within the next several years.

Our biomedicine product development programs are based on novel technologies and are inherently risky.
 
We are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of products based on new biomedical technologies. The novel nature of these cell-based therapies creates significant challenges in regard to product development and optimization, manufacturing, government regulation, third party reimbursement, and market acceptance. For example, the pathway to regulatory approval for cell-based therapies may be more complex than the pathway for conventional pharmaceuticals or other medical technologies, or may require more time than we anticipate. These challenges may prevent us from developing and commercializing products on a timely or profitable basis or at all.
 
We may be unable able to obtain or maintain patent protection for our products and product candidates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our commercial success will depend, in part, on obtaining and maintaining patent protection for new technologies, product candidates, products and processes and successfully defending such patents against third party challenges. To that end, we file patent applications, and have been issued patents, that are intended to cover certain methods and uses relating to stem cells including our four cellular technology platforms (haMPC, huMPC, TC-DC and MNP/NP).

The patent positions of biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions and recent court decisions have introduced significant uncertainty regarding the strength of patents in the industry. Moreover, the legal systems of some countries do not favor the aggressive enforcement of patents and may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as they would, for instance, under the laws of the United States. Any of the issued patents we own or license may be challenged by third parties and held to be invalid, unenforceable or with a narrower or different scope of coverage that what we currently believe, effectively reducing or eliminating protection we believed we had against competitors with similar products or technologies. If we ultimately engage in and lose any such patent disputes, we could be subject to competition and/or significant liabilities, we could be required to enter into third party licenses or we could be required to cease using the disputed technology or product. In addition, even if such licenses are available, the terms of any license requested by a third party could be unacceptable to us.

The claims of any current or future patents that may issue or be licensed to us may not contain claims that are sufficiently broad to prevent others from utilizing the covered technologies and thus may provide us with little commercial protection against competing products. Consequently, our competitors may independently develop competing products that do not infringe our patents or other intellectual property. To the extent a competitor can develop similar products using a different chemistry, our patents and patent applications may not prevent others from directly competing with us. Product development and approval timelines for certain products and therapies in our industry can require a significant amount of time (i.e. many years). As such, it is possible that any patents that may cover an approved product or therapy may have expired at the time of commercialization or only have a short remaining period of exclusivity, thereby reducing the commercial advantages of the patent. In such case, we would then rely solely on other forms of exclusivity which may provide less protection to our competitive position.

Litigation relating to intellectual property is expensive, time consuming and uncertain, and we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to protect against infringement by third parties or defend ourselves against claims of infringement.

To protect our intellectual property, we may initiate litigation or other proceedings. In general, intellectual property litigation is costly, time-consuming, diverts the attention of management and technical personnel and could result in substantial uncertainty regarding our future viability, even if we ultimately prevail.  Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or other proceedings more effectively than can we because of their substantially greater financial resources. The loss or narrowing of our intellectual property protection, the inability to secure or enforce our intellectual property rights or a finding that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of a third party could limit our ability to develop or market our products and services in the future or adversely affect our revenues. Furthermore, any public announcements related to such litigation or regulatory proceedings could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Third parties may allege that the research, development and commercialization activities we conduct infringe patents or other proprietary rights owned by such parties. This may turn out to be the case even though we have conducted a search and analysis of third-party patent rights and have determined that certain aspects of our research and development and proposed products activities apparently do not infringe on any third-party Chinese patent rights. If we are found to have infringed the patents of a third party, we may be required to pay substantial damages; we also may be required to seek from such party a license, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, to continue our activities. A judicial finding or infringement or the failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from commercializing our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

If we are unable to maintain our licenses, patents or other intellectual property we could lose important protections that are material to continuing our operations and our future prospects.

To obtain and maintain patent protection and licensing rights that are required in order for us to conduct and pursue our business plans, we must, among other things, ensure the timely payment of all applicable filing and maintenance fees, pay applicable license fees to our licensor(s), renew the term of certain licenses which are not perpetual, or expand the scope of the intellectual property under our license agreements.  In order to renew the term of any license or expand its scope, we may be required to pay additional licensing fees to our licensor(s).  Any failure to take the above actions or make payments which we are obligated to make, could result in the loss of some or all of our rights to proprietary technology or the inability to secure or enforce intellectual property protection.  Additionally, our license agreements require us to meet certain diligence obligations in the development of the licensed products. Our failure to meet these diligence obligations could result in the loss of some or all of our rights, which could materially and adversely affect our business and future prospects.

 
 
If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of trade secrets, our competitive position could be impaired.

A significant amount of our technology, particularly with respect to our proprietary manufacturing processes, is unpatented and is held in the form of trade secrets.  We expend significant efforts to protect these trade secrets, including the use of confidentiality and proprietary information agreement, and knowledge segmentation among our staff. Even so, improper use or disclosure of our confidential information could occur and in such cases adequate remedies may not exist. The inadvertent disclosure of our trade secrets could impair our competitive position.
 
Our technologies are at early stages of discovery and development, and we may fail to develop any commercially acceptable or profitable products.
 
We have yet to develop any therapeutic products that have been approved for marketing, and we do not expect to become profitable within the next several years, but rather expect our biomedicine business to incur additional and increasing operating losses. Before commercializing any therapeutic product in China, we may be required to obtain regulatory approval from the Ministry of Health (“MOH”), PRC’s State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”), local regulatory authorities, and/or individual hospitals, and outside China from equivalent foreign agencies after conducting extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials that demonstrate that the product candidate is safe and effective.
 
We may elect to delay or discontinue studies or clinical trials based on unfavorable results. Any product developed from, or based on, cell technologies may fail to:
 
 
 
survive and persist in the desired location;
 
 
 
 
 
 
provide the intended therapeutic benefit;
 
 
 
 
 
 
engraft or integrate into existing tissue in the desired manner; or
 
 
 
 
 
 
achieve therapeutic benefits equal to, or better than, the standard of treatment at the time of testing.
 
In addition, our therapeutic products may cause undesirable side effects. Results of preclinical research in animals may not be indicative of future clinical results in humans.
 
Ultimately if regulatory authorities do not approve our products or if we fail to maintain regulatory compliance, we would be unable to commercialize our products, and our business and results of operations would be harmed. Even if we do succeed in developing products, we will face many potential obstacles such as the need to develop or obtain manufacturing, marketing and distribution capabilities. Furthermore, because transplantation of cells is a new form of therapy, the marketplace may not accept any products we may develop.
 
Presently, a moratorium declared by the PRC government on commercialization of cell therapies is in effect, pending release of new regulations.  No assurances can be made regarding when the moratorium will be lifted, or regarding the substance of the new regulations. If the moratorium continues longer than expected, or if new regulations are not favorable to our development plans, our business could be adversely affected.

While we believe the PRC government is highly supportive of stem cell research and related potential advances in medical treatment, presently a moratorium is in effect in China (that we believe is temporary) which prevents any company from actually marketing and implementing cell therapies, while the central government considers and constructs a new set of rules and determines lines of authority among government agencies to regulate this new industry. We note however, that the moratorium appears to apply to cell therapeutics, and not immunotherapy, which may not necessarily affect the development of our HCC liver cancer therapy candidate. We also note that the moratorium bars marketing and implementation of products, treatments and therapies, but does not prevent the advancement of research, studies or development of potential products, treatments or therapies. Accordingly, we interpret the moratorium as a bar on marketing and use, but not a prohibition on conducting clinical trials, although we believe the practical effect of the moratorium has been to temporarily slow or halt applications for new clinical trials based on stem cell technology. The central government has declared stem cell technology to be a part of China’s national long-term scientific and technological development plan from 2006 to 2020. The government has also announced its intention to release new laws to regulate our industry, which are soon anticipated to be codified into law. Although we believe there is a high probability that laws adopted and codified in the PRC will ultimately be supportive of our development plans and consistent with the government’s prior policy pronouncements, there can be no assurance that these laws, once released and when applied, will be favorable to our interests. If the government fails to enact laws and lift the moratorium in the expected time frame, or if its laws when released and enacted are burdensome to our development, our plans could be delayed or thwarted, and our business would be materially and adversely affected. In March 2013, the PRC central government released proposed regulations of the Ministry of Health and the SFDA relating to the conduct of cell therapy pre-clinical and clinical trials in China. While management believes this is an indication that final rules may soon be adopted, we cannot provide any assurances as to the likely content of the final rules nor when they will become effective.
 
Most potential applications of our technology are pre-commercialization, which subjects us to development and marketing risks.
 
We are in a relatively early stage on the path to commercialization with many of our products. Successful development and market acceptance of our products is subject to developmental risks, including failure to achieve innovative solutions to problems during development, ineffectiveness, lack of safety, unreliability, failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances or approvals, approval by hospital ethics committees and other governing bodies, high commercial cost, preclusion or obsolescence resulting from third parties’ proprietary rights or superior or equivalent products, competition, and general economic conditions affecting purchasing patterns. There is no assurance that we or our partners will successfully develop and commercialize our products, or that our competitors will not develop competing products, treatments or technologies that are less expensive or superior. Failure to successfully develop and market our products would have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
 
Market acceptance of new technology such as ours can be difficult to obtain.
 
New and emerging cell therapy and cell banking technologies may have difficulty or encounter significant delays in obtaining market acceptance in some or all countries around the world due to the novelty of our cell therapy and cell banking technologies. Therefore, the market adoption of our cell therapy and cell banking technologies may be slow and lengthy with no assurances that the technology will be successfully adopted. The lack of market adoption or reduced or minimal market adoption of cell therapy and cell banking technologies may have a significant impact on our ability to successfully sell our future product(s) or therapies within China or in other countries. Our strategy depends in part on the adoption of the therapies we may develop by state-owned hospital systems in China, and the allocation of resources to new technologies and treatment methods is largely dependent upon ethics committees and governing bodies within the hospitals. Even if our clinical trials are successful, there can be no assurance that hospitals in China will adopt our technology and therapies as readily as we may anticipate.
 
Future clinical trial results may differ significantly from our expectations.
 
While we have proceeded incrementally with our clinical trials in an effort to gauge the risks of proceeding with larger and more expensive trials, we cannot guarantee that we will not experience negative results with larger and much more expensive clinical trials than we have conducted to date. Poor results in our clinical trials could result in substantial delays in commercialization, substantial negative effects on the perception of our products, and substantial additional costs. These risks are increased by our reliance on third parties in the performance of many of the clinical trial functions, including the clinical investigators, hospitals, and other third party service providers.
 
We face risks relating to the cell therapy industry, clinical development and commercialization.
 
Cell therapy is still a developing field and a significant global market for our services has yet to emerge. Our cellular therapy candidates are based on novel cell technologies that are inherently risky and may not be understood or accepted by the marketplace. The current market principally consists of providing manufacturing of cell and tissue-based therapeutic products for clinical trials and processing of stem cell products for therapeutic programs.
 
The degree of market acceptance of any future product candidates will depend on a number of factors, including:
 
 
the clinical safety and effectiveness of the product candidates, the availability of alternative treatments and the perceived advantages of the particular product candidates over alternative treatments;
 
 
 
 
the relative convenience and ease of administration of the product candidates;
 
 
 
 
our ability to separate the product candidates from the ethical controversies and political barriers associated with stem cell product candidates derived from human embryonic or fetal tissue;
 
 
 
 
ethical concerns that may arise regarding our commercial use of stem cells, including adult stem cells, in the manufacture of the product candidates;
 
 
 
 
the frequency and severity of adverse events or other undesirable side effects involving the product candidates or the products or product candidates of others that are cell-based; and
 
 
 
 
the cost of the products, the reimbursement policies of government and third-party payors and our ability to obtain sufficient third-party coverage or reimbursement.
 
 
If clinical trials of our technology fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the relevant regulatory authorities, including the PRC’s State Food and Drug Administration and the Ministry of Health, or do not otherwise produce positive results, we may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of such product candidates.
 
Currently, a regulatory structure has not been established to standardize the approval process for products or therapies based on the technology that exists or that is being developed in our field. Therefore we must conduct, at our own expense, extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the product candidates in humans, and then archive our results until such time as a new regulatory regime is put in place. If and when this new regulatory regime is adopted it may be easier or more difficult to navigate than CBMG may anticipate, with the following potential barriers:
 
 
regulators or institutional review boards may not authorize us or our investigators to commence clinical trials or conduct clinical trials at a prospective trial site;
 
 
 
 
clinical trials of product candidates may produce negative or inconclusive results, and we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs that we expect to be pursuing;
 
 
 
 
the number of patients required for clinical trials of product candidates may be larger than we anticipate, enrollment in these clinical trials may be slower than we anticipate, or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;
 
 
 
 
third party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;
 
 
 
 
we might have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidates for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;
 
 
 
 
regulators or institutional review boards may require that we or our investigators suspend or terminate clinical research for various reasons, including noncompliance with regulatory requirements;
 
 
 
 
the cost of clinical trials of our product candidates may be greater than anticipated;
 
 
 
 
we may be subject to a more complex regulatory process, since cell-based therapies are relatively new and regulatory agencies have less experience with them as compared to traditional pharmaceutical products;
 
 
 
 
the supply or quality of our product candidates or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of these product candidates may be insufficient or inadequate; and
 
 
 
 
our product candidates may have undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics, causing us or our investigators to halt or terminate the trials.

The results of preclinical studies may not correlate with the results of human clinical trials. In addition, early stage clinical trial results do not ensure success in later stage clinical trials, and interim trial results are not necessarily predictive of final trial results.
 
To date, we have not completed the development of any products through regulatory approval. The results of preclinical studies in animals may not be predictive of results in a clinical trial. Likewise, the outcomes of early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials. There can be no assurances that the clinical trials of any future product candidate will ultimately be successful. New information regarding the safety and efficacy of such product candidates may be less favorable than the data observed to date.
 
 
We may experience delays in enrolling patients in our clinical trials, which could delay or prevent the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.
 
We may not be able to continue extensive clinical trials if we are unable to enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in the clinical trials required by the applicable regulatory authorities.
 
Additional factors that may affect our ability to enroll patients in clinical trials include:
 
 
patients’ willingness to receive a placebo or other inactive control on the control arm of a clinical study;
 
 
 
 
the distance between patients and clinical test sites; and
 
 
 
 
the eligibility criteria for the trial.
 
Even if we are successful in developing therapeutic applications using our cell technologies, we still may be unsuccessful in creating a commercially viable and profitable business.
 
The commercial viability of our stem cell technologies may depend on, among other things, our ability to successfully isolate and expand the number of stem cells collected through adult stem cell collection processes in order to achieve a therapeutically-viable dose.
 
Laws and the regulatory infrastructure governing the stem cell industry in China are relatively new and less established in comparison to the U.S. and other countries; accordingly regulation may be less stable and predictable than desired, and regulatory changes may disrupt our commercialization process.

Regulation of the medical field in China including pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, and medical practice, is relatively new and less established compared to the U.S. and in many other countries. In addition the practice of and research relating to cell therapeutics has emerged in China very recently, and the government has not yet decided how the industry shall be regulated. Accordingly we expect that the regulatory environment in China will be comparatively less predictable, and if the government changes any of its policies relating to our industry, or changes in the manner in which rules are applied or interpreted, our commercialization process may be disrupted or delayed, which would adversely affect our results and prospects.
 
Technological and medical developments or improvements in conventional therapies could render the use of cell therapy and our services and planned products obsolete.
 
Advances in other treatment methods or in disease prevention techniques could significantly reduce or entirely eliminate the need for our cell therapy services, planned products and therapeutic efforts. There is no assurance that cell therapies will achieve the degree of success envisioned by us in the treatment of disease. Nor is there any assurance that new technological improvements or techniques will not render obsolete the processes currently used by us, the need for our services or our planned products. Additionally, technological or medical developments may materially alter the commercial viability of our technology or services, and require us to incur significant costs to replace or modify equipment in which we have a substantial investment. We are focused on cell therapy, and if this field is substantially unsuccessful, this could jeopardize our success or future results. The occurrence of any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
 
There is a scarcity of experienced professionals in the field of cell therapy and we may not be able to retain key officers or employees or hire new key officers or employees needed to implement our business strategy and develop our products. If we are unable to retain or hire key officers or employees, we may be unable to grow our biomedicine business or implement our business strategy, and the Company may be materially and adversely affected.
 
Given the specialized nature of cell therapy and the fact that it is a young field, there is an inherent scarcity of experienced personnel in the field. The Company is substantially dependent on the skills and efforts of current senior management for their management and operations, as well as for the implementation of their business strategy. As a result of the difficulty in locating qualified new management, the loss or incapacity of existing members of management or unavailability of qualified management or as replacements for management who resign or are terminated could adversely affect the Company’s operations. The future success of the Company also depends upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel (including medical, scientific, technical, commercial, business and administrative personnel) necessary to support our anticipated growth, develop our business, perform our contractual obligations to third parties and maintain appropriate licensure, on acceptable terms. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting or retaining personnel required by us to continue to grow our operations. The loss of a key employee, the failure of a key employee to perform in his or her current position or our inability to attract and retain skilled employees, as needed, could result in our inability to grow our biomedicine business or implement our business strategy, or may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
 
Failure to obtain regulatory approval in international jurisdictions would prevent us from market or license our products abroad.
 
We may in the future seek to market or license our products or product candidates outside of China. In order to market such product candidates outside of China, we must submit clinical data concerning our product candidates and obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing. The time required to obtain approval from foreign regulators may require a substantial amount of time. We may not be able to file for regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize any products in any market and therefore may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to support our business.
 
We, our strategic partners and our customers conduct business in a heavily regulated industry. If we or one or more of our strategic partners or customers fail to comply with applicable current and future laws and government regulations, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.
 
The healthcare industry is one of the most highly regulated industries. Federal governments, individual state and local governments and private accreditation organizations may oversee and monitor all the activities of individuals and businesses engaged in the delivery of health care products and services. Therefore, current laws, rules and regulations could directly or indirectly negatively affect our ability and the ability of our strategic partners and customers to operate each of their businesses.
 
 
In addition, as we expand into other parts of the world, we will need to comply with the applicable laws and regulations in such foreign jurisdictions. We have not yet thoroughly explored the requirements or feasibility of such compliance. It is possible that we may not be permitted to expand our business into one or more foreign jurisdictions.
 
Although we intend to conduct our business in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the laws and regulations affecting our business and relationships are complex, and many aspects of such relationships have not been the subject of judicial or regulatory interpretation. Furthermore, the cell therapy industry is the topic of significant government interest, and thus the laws and regulations applicable to us and our strategic partners and customers and to their business are subject to frequent change and/or reinterpretation and there can be no assurance that the laws and regulations applicable to us and our strategic partners and customers will not be amended or interpreted in a manner that adversely affects our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
 
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures.
 
If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal controls over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
 
In connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover "material weaknesses" in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines "significant deficiency" as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
 
In the event a material weakness is identified, we will attempt to employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that we will have the resources to be able to take steps to attempt to remedy any future material weaknesses or that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.

Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual management reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
 
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR STRUCTURE
 
The laws and regulations governing the therapeutic use of stem cells in China are evolving. New PRC laws and regulations may impose conditions or requirements which could materially and adversely affect our business.

As the cell therapy industry is at an early stage of development in China, new laws and regulations may be adopted in the future to address new issues that arise from time to time. As a result, substantial uncertainties exist regarding the interpretation and implementation of current and any future PRC laws and regulations applicable to the cell therapy industry. There is no way to predict the content or scope of future Chinese regulation. There can be no assurance that the PRC government authorities will not issue new laws or regulations that impose conditions or requirements with which we cannot comply. Noncompliance could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.  On December 16, 2011, China’s Ministry of Health announced its intention to more tightly regulate clinical trials and cell therapeutic treatments in the PRC.  The Ministry of Health ordered an immediate halt to “unapproved stem cell clinical trials and applications,” and put applications for new stem cell trials on hold until July 1, 2012, and the lifting of this moratorium has been delayed. For those clinical trials for stem cell products already approved by the SFDA, the Clinical Trial Approval Instructions and the Good Clinical Practice, or GCP, shall be strictly followed, with unwarranted changes to the approved clinical trial protocol and profit seeking activities strictly forbidden. As of the date of this current report, the foregoing moratorium has not been lifted.

China’s State Food and Drug Administration’s regulations may limit our ability to develop, license, manufacture and market our products, therapies and/or services.

Some or all of our operations in China will be subject to oversight and regulation by the SFDA and MOH. Government regulations, among other things, cover the inspection of and controls over testing, manufacturing, safety and environmental considerations, efficacy, labeling, advertising, promotion, record keeping and sale and distribution of pharmaceutical products. Such government regulations may increase our costs and prevent or delay the licensing, manufacturing and marketing of any of our products or services. In the event we seek to license, manufacture, sell or distribute new products or services, we likely will need approvals from certain government agencies such as the SFDA. The future growth and profitability of any operations in China would be contingent on obtaining the requisite approvals. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such approvals. In 2004, the SFDA implemented new guidelines for the licensing of pharmaceutical products. All existing manufacturers with licenses were required to apply for the Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, certifications. According to Good Manufacturing Practices for Pharmaceutical Products (revised edition 2010), or the New GMP Rules promulgated by the Ministry of Health of the PRC on January 17, 2011 which became effective on March 1, 2011, all the newly constructed manufacturing facilities of drug manufacture enterprises in China shall comply with the requirements of the New GMP Rules, which are stricter than the original GMP standards. In addition, delays, product recalls or failures to receive approval may be encountered based upon additional government regulation, legislative changes, administrative action or changes in governmental policy and interpretation applicable to the Chinese pharmaceutical industry. Our pharmaceutical activities also may subject us to government regulations with respect to product prices and other marketing and promotional related activities. Government regulations may substantially increase our costs for developing, licensing, manufacturing and marketing any products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The SFDA and other regulatory authorities in China have implemented a series of new punitive and stringent measures regarding the pharmaceuticals industry to redress certain past misconducts in the industry and certain deficiencies in public health reform policies. Given the nature and extent of such new enforcement measures, the aggressive manner in which such enforcement is being conducted and the fact that newly-constituted local level branches are encouraged to issue such punishments and fines, there is the possibility of large scale and significant penalties being levied on manufacturers. These new measures may include fines, restriction and suspension of operations and marketing and other unspecified penalties. This new regulatory environment has added significantly to the risks of our businesses in China and may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our operations are subject to risks associated with emerging markets.
 
The Chinese economy is not well established and is only recently emerging and growing as a significant market for consumer goods and services. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the market will continue to grow. Perceived risks associated with investing in China, or a general disruption in the development of China’s markets could materially and adversely affect the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company.
 
A substantial portion of our assets are currently located in the PRC, and investors may not be able to enforce federal securities laws or their other legal rights.
 
A substantial portion of our assets are located in the PRC. As a result, it may be difficult for investors in the U.S. to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon certain of our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties against any of our directors and officers located outside of the U.S.
 
The PRC government has the ability to exercise significant influence and control over our operations in China.
 
In recent years, the PRC government has implemented measures for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of corporate governance practices in business enterprises. However, many productive assets in China are still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the government continues to play a significant role in regulating industrial development by imposing business regulations. It also exercises significant control over the country’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.
 
There can be no assurance that China’s economic, political or legal systems will not develop in a way that becomes detrimental to our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our activities may be materially and adversely affected by changes in China’s economic and social conditions and by changes in the policies of the government, such as measures to control inflation, changes in the rates or method of taxation and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion.
 
 
Additional factors that we may experience in connection with having operations in China that may adversely affect our business and results of operations include:
 
 
our inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any material agreements;
 
 
 
 
PRC restrictions on foreign investment that could impair our ability to conduct our business or acquire or contract with other entities in the future;
 
 
 
 
restrictions on currency exchange that may limit our ability to use cash flow most effectively or to repatriate our investment;
 
 
 
 
fluctuations in currency values;
 
 
 
 
cultural, language and managerial differences that may reduce our overall performance; and
 
 
 
 
political instability in China.
 
Cultural, language and managerial differences may adversely affect our overall performance.
 
We have experienced difficulties in assimilating cultural, language and managerial differences with our subsidiaries in China. Personnel issues have developed in consolidating management teams from different cultural backgrounds. In addition, language translation issues from time to time have caused miscommunications. These factors make the management of our operations in China more difficult. Difficulties in coordinating the efforts of our U.S.-based management team with our China-based management team may cause our business, operating results and financial condition to be materially and adversely affected.
 
We may not be able to enforce our rights in China.
 
China’s legal and judicial system may negatively impact foreign investors. The legal system in China is evolving rapidly, and enforcement of laws is inconsistent. It may be impossible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of laws or enforcement of the judgment of one court by a court of another jurisdiction. China’s legal system is based on civil law or written statutes and a decision by one judge does not set a legal precedent that must be followed by judges in other cases. In addition, the interpretation of Chinese laws may vary to reflect domestic political changes.
 
Since a portion of our operations are presently based in China, service of process on our business and officers may be difficult to effect within the United States. Also, some of our assets are located outside the United States and any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable outside the United States.
 
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application to our business of PRC laws and regulations, since many of the rules and regulations that companies face in China are not made public. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that apply to future businesses may be applied retroactively to existing businesses. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.
 
The laws of China are likely to govern many of our material agreements, including, without limitation the Joint Venture Agreement dated September 9, 2011 with China Stem Cell, Inc., as ameded. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enforce our interests or our material agreements or that expected remedies will be available. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements may have a material adverse impact on our operations.
 
Our operations in China are subject to government regulation that limit or prohibit direct foreign investment, which may limit our ability to control operations based in China.
 
The PRC government has imposed regulations in various industries, including medical research and the stem cell industry, that limit foreign investors’ equity ownership or prohibit foreign investments altogether in companies that operate in such industries. We are currently structured as a U.S. corporation (Delaware) with subsidiaries and controlled entities in China. As a result of these regulations and the manner in which they may be applied or enforced, our ability to control our existing operations based in China may be limited or restricted.
 
If the relevant Chinese authorities find us or any business combination to be in violation of any laws or regulations, they would have broad discretion in dealing with such violation, including, without limitation: (i) levying fines; (ii) revoking our business and other licenses; (iii) requiring that we restructure our ownership or operations; and (iv) requiring that we discontinue any portion or all of our business.
 
We may suffer losses if we cannot utilize our assets in China.
 
The Company’s Shanghai and Wuxi laboratory facilities were originally intended for stem cell research and development, but has been equipped to provide comprehensive cell manufacturing, collection, processing and storage capabilities to provide cells for clinical trials. The lease for this facility expires in 2014 and the Company is considering its options with respect to extending this lease to allow for manufacturing for clinical trials in Asia. If the Company does not determine to renew the lease due to limitations on its utility under the new regulatory initiatives in China or otherwise, the Company may incur certain expenses in connection with returning the premises to the landlord. Management believes it will be able to renew all leases without difficulty.
 
 
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our cash flow effectively.
 
Our interests in China will be subject to China’s rules and regulations on currency conversion. In particular, the initial capitalization and operating expenses of the VIE (Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. (Shanghai)) are funded by our WFOE, Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. (Wuxi). In China, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, regulates the conversion of the Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and the conversion of foreign currencies into Chinese Renminbi. Currently, foreign investment enterprises are required to apply to the SAFE for Foreign Exchange Registration Certificates, or IC Cards of Enterprises with Foreign Investment. Foreign investment enterprises holding such registration certificates, which must be renewed annually, are allowed to open foreign currency accounts including a “basic account” and “capital account.” Currency translation within the scope of the “basic account,” such as remittance of foreign currencies for payment of dividends, can be effected without requiring the approval of the SAFE. However, conversion of currency in the “capital account,” including capital items such as direct investments, loans, and securities, require approval of the SAFE. According to the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises promulgated on August 29, 2008, or the SAFE Notice 142, to apply to a bank for settlement of foreign currency capital, a foreign invested enterprise shall submit the documents certifying the uses of the RMB funds from the settlement of foreign currency capital and a detailed checklist on use of the RMB funds from the last settlement of foreign currency capital. It is stipulated that only if the funds for the settlement of foreign currency capital are of an amount not more than US$50,000 and are to be used for enterprise reserve, the above documents may be exempted by the bank. This SAFE Notice 142, along with the recent practice of Chinese banks of restricting foreign currency conversion for fear of “hot money” going into China, limits and may continue to limit our ability to channel funds to the VIE entities for their operation. There can be no assurance that the PRC regulatory authorities will not impose further restrictions on the convertibility of the Chinese currency. Future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use our cash flow for the distribution of dividends to our stockholders or to fund operations we may have outside of China, which could materially adversely affect our business and operating results.
 
Fluctuations in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar could affect our operating results.
 
We prepare our financial statements in U.S. dollars, while our underlying businesses operate in two currencies, U.S. dollars and Chinese Renminbi. It is anticipated that our Chinese operations will conduct their operations primarily in Renminbi and our U.S. operations will conduct their operations in dollars. At the present time, we do not expect to have significant cross currency transactions that will be at risk to foreign currency exchange rates. Nevertheless, the conversion of financial information using a functional currency of Renminbi will be subject to risks related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions and supply and demand in local markets. As we have significant operations in China, and will rely principally on revenues earned in China, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi could materially and adversely affect our financial results. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
Beginning in July of 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the value of the Renminbi has fluctuated within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. However, the Chinese government has come under increasing U.S. and international pressure to revalue the Renminbi or to permit it to trade in a wider band, which many observers believe would lead to substantial appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies. There can be no assurance that Renminbi will be stable against the U.S. dollar. On June 19, 2010 the central bank of China announced that it will gradually modify its monetary policy and make the Renminbi’s exchange rate more flexible and allow the Renminbi to appreciate in value in line with its economic strength.
 
China’s State Food and Drug Administration’s regulations may limit our ability to develop, license, manufacture and market our products and services.
 
Some or all of our operations in China will be subject to oversight and regulation by the SFDA and MOH. Government regulations, among other things, cover the inspection of and controls over testing, manufacturing, safety and environmental considerations, efficacy, labeling, advertising, promotion, record keeping and sale and distribution of pharmaceutical products. Such government regulations may increase our costs and prevent or delay the licensing, manufacturing and marketing of any of our products or services. In the event we seek to license, manufacture, sell or distribute new products or services, we likely will need approvals from certain government agencies such as the SFDA. The future growth and profitability of any operations in China would be contingent on obtaining the requisite approvals. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such approvals.
 
In 2004, the SFDA implemented new guidelines for the licensing of pharmaceutical products. All existing manufacturers with licenses were required to apply for the Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, certifications.
 
According to Good Manufacturing Practices for Pharmaceutical Products (revised edition 2010), or the New GMP Rules promulgated by the Ministry of Health of the PRC on January 17, 2011 which became effective on March 1, 2011, all the newly constructed manufacturing facilities of drug manufacture enterprises in China shall comply with the requirements of the New GMP Rules, which are stricter than the original GMP standards.
 
In addition, delays, product recalls or failures to receive approval may be encountered based upon additional government regulation, legislative changes, administrative action or changes in governmental policy and interpretation applicable to the Chinese pharmaceutical industry. Our pharmaceutical activities also may subject us to government regulations with respect to product prices and other marketing and promotional related activities. Government regulations may substantially increase our costs for developing, licensing, manufacturing and marketing any products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
The SFDA and other regulatory authorities in China have implemented a series of new punitive and stringent measures regarding the pharmaceuticals industry to redress certain past misconducts in the industry and certain deficiencies in public health reform policies. Given the nature and extent of such new enforcement measures, the aggressive manner in which such enforcement is being conducted and the fact that newly-constituted local level branches are encouraged to issue such punishments and fines, there is the possibility of large scale and significant penalties being levied on manufacturers. These new measures may include fines, restriction and suspension of operations and marketing and other unspecified penalties. This new regulatory environment has added significantly to the risks of our businesses in China and may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
 
Some of the laws and regulations governing our business in China are vague and subject to risks of interpretation.
 
Some of the PRC laws and regulations governing our business operations in China are vague and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. These include, but are not limited to, laws and regulations governing our business and the enforcement and performance of our contractual arrangements in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings. Despite their uncertainty, we will be required to comply.
 
New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed businesses may be applied retroactively. Accordingly, the effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may not be clear. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.
 
In addition, pursuant to China’s Administrative Measures on the Foreign Investment in Commercial Sector, foreign enterprises are permitted to establish or invest in wholly foreign-owned enterprises or joint ventures that engage in wholesale or retail sales of pharmaceuticals in China subject to the implementation of relevant regulations. However, no specific regulations in this regard have been promulgated to date, which creates uncertainty. If specific regulations are not promulgated, or if any promulgated regulations contain clauses that cause an adverse impact to our operations in China, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
 
The laws and regulations governing the therapeutic use of stem cells in China are evolving. New PRC laws and regulations may impose conditions or requirements which could materially and adversely affect our business.
 
As the cell therapy industry is at an early stage of development in China, new laws and regulations may be adopted in the future to address new issues that arise from time to time. As a result, substantial uncertainties exist regarding the interpretation and implementation of current and any future PRC laws and regulations applicable to the cell therapy industry. There is no way to predict the content or scope of future Chinese regulation. There can be no assurance that the PRC government authorities will not issue new laws or regulations that impose conditions or requirements with which we cannot comply. Noncompliance could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
On December 16, 2011, China’s Ministry of Health announced its intention to more tightly regulate clinical trials and stem cell therapeutic treatments in the PRC. The Ministry of Health ordered an immediate halt to “unapproved stem cell clinical trials and applications,” and put applications for new clinical trials on hold until July 1, 2012, which moratorium has been extended. For those clinical trials for stem cell products already approved by the SFDA, the Clinical Trial Approval Instructions and the Good Clinical Practice, or GCP, shall be strictly followed, with unwarranted changes to the approved clinical trial protocol and profit-seeking activities strictly forbidden. As of the date of this annual report, the foregoing moratorium has not been lifted.
 
The PRC government does not permit direct foreign investment in stem cell research and development businesses. Accordingly, we operate these businesses through local companies with which we have contractual relationships but in which we do not have direct equity ownership.
 
PRC regulations prevent foreign companies from directly engaging in stem cell-related research, development and commercial applications in China. Therefore, to perform these activities, we conduct much of our biomedicine business operations in China through a domestic variable interest entity, or VIE, a Chinese domestic company controlled by the Chinese employees of the Company. Our contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership. For example, the VIE could fail to take actions required for our business or fail to conduct business in the manner we desire despite their contractual obligation to do so. These companies are able to transact business with parties not affiliated with us. If these companies fail to perform under their agreements with us, we may have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law, which may not be effective. In addition, we cannot be certain that the individual equity owners of the VIE would always act in our best interests, especially if they have no other relationship with us.
 
 
Although other foreign companies have used VIE structures similar to ours and such arrangements are not uncommon in connection with business operations of foreign companies in China in industry sectors in which foreign direct investments are limited or prohibited, recently there has been greater scrutiny by the business community of the VIE structure and, additionally, the application of a VIE structure to control companies in a sector in which foreign direct investment is specifically prohibited carries increased risks.
 
In addition, the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOFCOM, promulgated the Rules of Ministry of Commerce on Implementation of Security Review System of Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors in August 2011, or the MOFCOM Security Review Rules, to implement the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Establishing the Security Review System for Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated on February 3, 2011, or Circular No. 6. The MOFCOM Security Review Rules came into effect on September 1, 2011 and replaced the Interim Provisions of the Ministry of Commerce on Matters Relating to the Implementation of the Security Review System for Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated by MOFCOM in March 2011. According to these circulars and rules, a security review is required for mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors having “national defense and security” concerns and mergers and acquisitions by which foreign investors may acquire the “de facto control” of domestic enterprises having “national security” concerns. In addition, when deciding whether a specific merger or acquisition of a domestic enterprise by foreign investors is subject to the security review, the MOFCOM will look into the substance and actual impact of the transaction. The MOFCOM Security Review Rules further prohibit foreign investors from bypassing the security review requirement by structuring transactions through proxies, trusts, indirect investments, leases, loans, control through contractual arrangements or offshore transactions. There is no explicit provision or official interpretation stating that our business falls into the scope subject to the security review, and there is no requirement for foreign investors in those mergers and acquisitions transactions already completed prior to the promulgation of Circular No. 6 to submit such transactions to MOFCOM for security review. The enactment of the MOFCOM National Security Review Rules specifically prohibits circumvention of the rules through VIE arrangement in the area of foreign investment in business of national security concern. Although we believe that our business, judging from its scale, should not cause any concern for national security review at its current state, there is no assurance that MOFCOM would not apply the same concept of anti-circumvention in the future to foreign investment in prohibited areas through VIE structure, the same way that our investment in China was structured.
 
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
 
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC. There can be no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we make equity compensation grants to persons who are PRC citizens, they may be required to register with SAFE. We may also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt equity compensation plans for our directors and employees and other parties under PRC laws.

On April 6, 2007, State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China (the “SAFE”) issued the “Operating Procedures for Administration of Domestic Individuals Participating in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan or Stock Option Plan of An Overseas Listed Company, also known as “Circular 78.” It is not clear whether Circular 78 covers all forms of equity compensation plans or only those which provide for the granting of stock options. For any plans which are so covered and are adopted by a non-PRC listed company, such as our company, after April 6, 2007, Circular 78 requires all participants who are PRC citizens to register with and obtain approvals from SAFE prior to their participation in the plan. In addition, Circular 78 also requires PRC citizens to register with SAFE and make the necessary applications and filings if they participated in an overseas listed company’s covered equity compensation plan prior to April 6, 2007. We believe that the registration and approval requirements contemplated in Circular 78 will be burdensome and time consuming.
 

If it is determined that any of our equity compensation plans are subject to Circular 78, failure to comply with such provisions may subject us and participants of our equity incentive plan who are PRC citizens to fines and legal sanctions and may possibly prevent us from being able to grant equity compensation to our PRC employees. In that case, our ability to compensate our employees and directors through equity compensation would be hindered and our business operations may be adversely affected.
 
The labor contract law and its implementation regulations may increase our operating expenses and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As the PRC Labor Contract Law, or Labor Contract Law, and the Implementation Regulation for the PRC Labor Contract Law, or Implementation Regulation, have been enforced for only a relatively short period of time, substantial uncertainty remains as to its potential impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The implementation of the Labor Contract Law and the Implementation Regulation may increase our operating expenses, in particular our human resources costs and our administrative expenses. In addition, as the interpretation and implementation of these regulations are still evolving, we cannot assure you that our employment practices will at all times be deemed to be in full compliance with the law. In the event that we decide to significantly modify our employment or labor policy or practice, or reduce the number of our sales professionals, the labor contract law may limit our ability to effectuate the modifications or changes in the manner that we believe to be most cost-efficient or otherwise desirable, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are subject to severe penalties or incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.  In the event that we decide to significantly modify our employment or labor policy or practice, or reduce our professional staff, the labor contract law may limit our ability to effectuate the modifications or changes in the manner that we believe to be most cost-efficient or otherwise desirable, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
If relations between the United States and China worsen, our stock price may decrease and we may have difficulty accessing the U.S. capital markets.
 
At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over trade, economic and other policy issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our and our clients' ability to access U.S. capital markets.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR CONSULTING SERVICES BUSINESS

We are subject to constraints under U.S. regulations with respect to the consulting services we provide through EastBridge Sub.
 
Even though our consulting services business does not involve raising capital for clients, the consulting services provided through EastBridge Sub may be viewed as providing investment services. Investment businesses generally are comprehensively and intensively regulated under state and federal securities laws and regulations. Any investigation, litigation or other proceeding undertaken by the SEC or other federal or state regulatory agencies or private parties could necessitate the expenditure of material amounts of funds for legal and other costs and could have other materially adverse consequences for the Company, particularly if EastBridge is subject to fines and penalties for failure to obtain the required licenses or approvals.
 
Neither the Company nor is EastBridge Sub registered as a broker or dealer under the Exchange Act or any other securities law. EastBridge Sub management believes that it is not required to be registered as a broker or dealer, but if the SEC, FINRA or the securities administrator of any state were to assert that such registration is required, EastBridge Sub would bear the resulting increased expenses and its activities would be restricted, which could materially and adversely affect the Company's business. EastBridge Sub or its officers and directors could also be subject to fines, penalties and other expenses as well as restrictions on its future business activities as a result of prior activities.
 
Neither the Company nor EastBridge Sub has, and is not expected to, register as an investment adviser or an investment company under the federal Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, the federal Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or under the laws of any state. EastBridge Sub management does not believe that any law requires such a registration. However, particularly with respect to the method it has established of forming wholly owned subsidiaries and taking equity in clients, these practices may inadvertently violate the Investment Company Act of 1940 which would require extensive additional filings and additional compliance with SEC regulations. If required, however, such a registration could preclude EastBridge Sub from performing its duties to its clients, which could lead to material adverse effects on the Company and its business, making its consulting services business less lucrative.
 
 
EastBridge Sub may also be subject to the federal or various state investment advisory acts. The consulting services rendered by EastBridge Sub may be viewed as providing financial advice even though management believes that any financial advice is not actually provided by EastBridge Sub but instead is provided by third party financial service firms which are registered.

Competition may negatively impact us.
 
Our consulting services business through EastBridge Sub competes with individuals and both large and small investment companies for clients in Asia and our other current and proposed markets. Many of these institutions and individuals are already active in the Asian and American markets and have greater financial and other resources that may be used to compete against us. We expect that, if EastBridge Sub is successful and if the market in which it operates as a whole has favorable results, competition will increase.
 
Eastbridge Sub depends upon key management personnel and the loss of any of them would seriously disrupt our operations.
 
The success of our consulting services business is largely dependent on the personal efforts of Keith Wong and Norm Klein, who are the chief financial officer and chief executive officer, respectively, of EastBridge Sub. The loss of the services of Keith Wong or Norm Klein or other key executives would have a material adverse effect on the business and prospects of EastBridge Sub. The Company has not obtained key-man insurance for any of its senior management personnel or for any of the officers of its subsidiaries, which means that the Company will not receive any cash amounts as a result of the disability or death of a member of senior management. In addition, in order for us to undertake our consulting business operations as contemplated, it will be necessary for us to locate and hire experienced personnel who are knowledgeable in the industry in which EastBridge Sub operates. Failure to attract and retain such experienced personnel on acceptable terms will have a material adverse impact on our ability to grow our consulting services business.
 
EastBridge Sub does not provide proprietary services.
 
There is nothing proprietary about the consulting services provided through EastBridge Sub, and EastBridge Sub does not rely upon any intellectual property or other protection for its consulting services business. Any current or future competitors could duplicate the consulting service business model of EastBridge Sub and there would be no legal recourse against these competitors for such actions.

We are currently being audited.
 
We are undergoing an audit by the Internal Revenue Service related to employment tax liability of EastBridge Sub for the 2006-2008 tax years, and depending on the outcome of the audit, we may be subject to additional taxes, penalties and restrictions on further business activities or how we account for them. An assessment of additional taxes plus penalties and interest may have a material adverse effect on our finances. We expect the audit process to be completed and resolved in 2013.
 
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our share ownership is concentrated.
 
One stockholder, Global Health Investment Holdings Ltd. (“Global Health”), beneficially owns approximately 45% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock. As a result, that stockholder will exert significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all, or substantially all, of the assets, as well as any charter amendment and other matters requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control and may have a negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock by discouraging third party investors. The Company is a party to a lockup agreement with Global Health entered into on January 21, 2013, which was assumed by the Company on the closing date of the merger on February 6, 2013. Under the agreement, Global Health agreed for a period of one year after the closing date of the Merger to (i) not offer, sell, agree to sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, made any short sale, or otherwise dispose of or hedge, directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for the Company’s common stock, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, in connection with Global Health’s shares, or exercise any right without respect to the registration of its shares, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection with its shares without prior written consent of the Company; or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequences of ownership of Global Health’s shares without prior written consent of the Company.
 
Our common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules which might make it harder for stockholders to sell.
 
As a result of our initial stock price, our shares may become subject to the penny stock rules. The application of these penny stock rules may affect stockholders’ ability to sell their shares because some broker-dealers may not be willing to make a market in our Common Stock because of the burdens imposed upon them by the penny stock rules which include but are not limited to:
 
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act rules 15g-1 through 15g-6, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell Company securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
 
Exchange Act rule 15g-2 declares unlawful any broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
 
Exchange Act rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer the current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
 
Exchange Act rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
 
Exchange Act rule 15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales person’s compensation.
 
 
We do not intend to pay cash dividends.
 
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are declared, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

Because our stock is quoted on the OTCBB and OTCQB, our stockholders may have difficulty selling their stock or experience increased negative volatility in the market price of our stock.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB and OTCQB. The OTCBB and QTCQB are often highly illiquid, in part because they do not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCBB and OTCQB as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower or non-existent trading volume, and market conditions. Our stockholders may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.
 
Our operating history and lack of profits could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float.

The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or "risky" investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
 
 
Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. However, the occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

Our profitability may be negatively impacted due to the fact that a substantial portion of our assets are comprised of securities that are not highly liquid.

A substantial portion of our assets, held by our EastBridge subsidiary, are comprised of securities received as compensation for services rendered and are not highly liquid. There is presently no public market in the majority of the securities held by EastBridge Sub, and it is uncertain if such securities will be listed on a securities exchange or if a market for such securities will ever develop. There is no assurance that an alternative exit strategy will be readily available to realize the fair value of such securities. Accordingly, we are prepared to bear the economic risk of such securities for an indefinite period of time.

 
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide Item 1B disclosure.
 
 
Our corporate headquarters are located at 530 University Avenue in Palo Alto, California. We currently pay rent in the amount of $1,400 per month on a month-to-month basis. We believe at the present time, our premises are sufficient for our operations and near term growth plans.

CBMG operates a GMP facility in Wuxi and a manufacturing facility in Shanghai.
 
For our consulting services business, our office is located at 8040 E. Morgan Trail, Unit 18, Scottsdale, AZ 85258. We lease these facilities, consisting of approximately 750 square feet, for $776 per month. In 2012, EastBridge signed a two year lease expiring in July 2014.
 
 
CBMG obtained the approval from the local authority of Beijing, capital of China, to operate a representative office to serve its Chinese clients. This office is housed in the office tower of Kunlun Hotel and became fully operational in January of 2008. The Company leases these offices for $1,800 per month. The lease was terminated in 2012. In January 2012, the Company entered into a lease for housing accommodations for its former CEO while in Bejing. These facilities are being leased for $2,000 a month, to be paid with restricted stock. The term of this lease is on a month to month. Previously this property had been leased on a 2 year term for $4,250 per month that expired in December 2011. The aforesaid properties are in good condition and we believe they will be suitable for our purposes for the next 12 months. There is no affiliation between us and any of our principals or agents and our landlords or any of their principals or agents, with one exception of the housing lease with with the former CEO’s spouse.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide Item 6 disclosure.
 
 
On February 6, 2013, as described elsewhere in this report, the Company merged with Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd., and changed its primary line of business. The financial statements and related discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation by management presented in this report cover periods that precede the merger.
 
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words "believes," "anticipates," "may," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "continue," and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.
 
The following summarizes critical estimates made by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We periodically use stock-based awards, consisting of shares of common stock, to compensate certain officers and consultants. Shares are expensed on a straight line basis over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, if any. Typically, our awards are fully vested at the date of grant, so forfeitures are not applicable.
 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We utilize the guidance set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, regarding the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. We engage in listing contracts with our clients which provide for the payment of fees, either in cash or equity, upon the achievement of certain milestones by our clients with our assistance, including the successful completion of a financial statement audit, the successful listing on a national stock exchange and the maintenance of ongoing Exchange Act registration requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In some instances, payment may be made in advance of performance; however, such payment is often refundable in the event that milestones are not reached. We recognize revenue on a systematic basis as milestones are reached in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition” Update No. 2009-13. Such guidance stipulates that revenue be recognized for individual elements in a multiple deliverable arrangement using the relative selling price method. We rely on internal estimates of the relative selling price of each element as objective third-party evidence is unattainable.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance would be provided for those deferred tax assets for which if it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.
 
A full valuation allowance has been established against all net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 based on estimates of recoverability. While we have optimistic plans for our business strategy, we determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to our ability to generate sufficient profits from our business model.

General and administrative expenses increased in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011 due to the following:
 
  
The change in payroll expense was primarily attributable to an increase in payroll tax expense as the Company accrued amounts relating to federal tax, and incurred increased payroll expense as the Company hired additional staff.
 
  
The change in professional fees was primarily attributed to increases in professional fees related to EastBridge Sub’s listing agreements with its consulting clients, offset by a decrease in professional fees paid to third-party advisers.
 
  
The change in rent expense was primarily attributable to a reduced monthly lease payment based on a month to month rental continuation.

Other income (expense) increased in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011 due to the following:
 
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Tsingda, to sell the remaining 1,189,994 shares of Tsingda that the Company had received in prior years, per the listing agreement, to MA Platorm, Inc., the largest shareholder of the issuer. These shares were originally valued at approximately $0.71 per share when received, and were valued at $2.30 per share when sold under the SPA. The transaction resulted in a recognized gain from the sale of an equity stake in Tsingda of approximately $1,891,900.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We had working capital of $1,070,255 as of December 31, 2012 compared to $(1,368,139) as of December 31, 2011. Our cash position increased slightly to $757,457 at December 31, 2012 compared to $602,747 at December 31, 2011, as we had an increase in cash generated from operations, offset by a decrease in cash from financing activities.
 
Net cash provided by or used in operating, financing and investing activities from continuing operations were as follows (in thousands):

Net cash provided by or (used in) operating activities was $173,108 and $347,866 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our primary source of cash inflows has historically been from listing agreement clients. In 2012 we recorded approximately $9.3 million in income, mainly due to our receipt of stock for services we rendered. At December 31, 2012, we had sold a portion of this stock for cash, however, we continued to hold most of the stock, and recorded a negative $7.2 million adjustment in our cash flow statement to account for the fact that a portion of our income was not in the form of cash. In addition, a portion of our income in 2012 was recorded based on an agreement we made with a third party to sell certain stock held by us. However, at December 31, 2012, this transaction had not yet been fully received in cash, and so we recorded an offsetting $2.6 million as accounts receivable. Despite our large increase in net income for 2012 as compared to 2011, our overall cash flow from operating activities did not increase, and in fact decreased slightly from 2011 to 2012, due to the fact that most of the income we received in 2012 was not in the form of cash. As of December 31, 2012, no single customer accounted for greater than 10% of accounts receivable as part of the agreements require deposits in advance rather than billing after the fact. The accounts receivable is related to the sale of stock regarding client shares sold.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(18,398) and $204,983 in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in 2012 was due to the fact that we borrowed less in 2012. Specifically, we repaid advances to Mr. Keith Wong as Chief Executive Officer of $30,188, and Mr. Norm Klein as Chief Financial Officer of $15,932, offset by advances from these individuals of $8,500 and $19,222, respectively. In contrast during 2011 we received advances from Mr. Wong of $23,588, advances from Mr. Klein of $2,445 and advances from other affiliates in the aggregate amount of $197,700. These borrowings in 2011 were offset by a repayment of $18,750 to a local bank in connection with a $100,000 loan from the bank received in 2008.
 

Liquidity and Capital Requirements Outlook

Capital Requirements

We anticipate that following our merger in February 2013, we as a combined company will require approximately $5 million in cash to operate as planned during the 2013 calendar year. Of this amount, approximately $3 million will be used to operate our facilities and offices, including but not limited to payroll expenses, rent and other operating costs, and to fund our research and development (which will require an estimated $0.6 million in 2013) as we continue to develop our products through the clinical study process. As another component of the $5 million amount noted above, we anticipate $2 million will be needed during 2013 to fund our currently planned clinical trials for liver cancer and KOA, each of which we launched in China in early 2013. Presently we do not have plans to expand our physical plant and facilities, although we may revise these plans depending on the changing circumstances of our biomedicine business.

We expect to rely on current cash balances, and cash from our consulting operations and the sale of marketable securities that we hold (and that we received as payment for consulting services) to provide for these capital requirements. Should these needs increase we intend to look to external financing to fund our operations and growth. As of the date of this report, management anticipates that our current cash resources are sufficient to fund our operations in accordance with our plans during 2013.

Our medium to long term capital needs involve the further development of our biomedicine business, and may include, at management’s discretion, new clinical trials for other indications, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, acquisition of licensing rights from new partners, expansion of our license rights with our current joint venture partner or changes in the structure of such joint venture, and/or expansion of our research and development programs. Furthermore, as our therapies pass through the clinical trial process and if they gain regulatory approval, we expect to expend significant resources on sales and marketing of our future products, services and therapies.

In order to finance our medium to long term plans, we intend to rely upon external financing. This financing may be in the form of equity and or debt, in private placements and/or public offerings, or arrangements with private lenders. Due to our short operating history and our early stage of development, particularly in our biomedicine business, we may find it challenging to raise capital on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Furthermore our negotiating position in the capital raising process may worsen as we consume our existing resources. Investor interest in a company such as ours is dependent on a wide array of factors, including the state of regulation of our industry in China (e.g. the policies of MOH and the SFDA), the U.S. and other countries, political headwinds affecting our industry, the investment climate for issuers involved in businesses located or conducted within China, the risks associated with our corporate structure, risks relating to our joint venture partners, licensed intellectual property, as well as the condition of the global economy and financial markets in general. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to our stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate as a business; our stock price may not reach levels necessary to induce option or warrant exercises; and asset sales may not be possible on terms we consider acceptable. If we are unable to raise the capital necessary to meet our medium- and long-term liquidity needs, we may have to delay or discontinue certain clinical trials, the licensing, acquisition and/or development of cell therapy technologies, and/or the expansion of our biomedicine business; or we may have to raise funds on terms that we consider unfavorable. For a more complete discussion of risks that our business is subject to, refer to the “Risk Factors” section above.
 

Liquidity

To support our liquidity needs, for the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold shares of common stock that we held in a client with an original value of $845,116 for a gain of approximately $1,892,000.

In the near term, much of our cash from operating activities is expected to be derived from the continued sale of stock received as services rendered by our consulting services business. We do not have a plan of liquidation of the portfolio securities that are held by EastBridge Sub, but rather, EastBridge Sub management may decide to sell marketable securities from our portfolio from time to time subject to securities regulatory constraints, if and when market conditions are considered to be favorable.

Management expects de minimus revenue from our biomedicine business in 2013, as our focused products, services and therapies we have in development are in the proof-of-concept stage or in clinical trials, and have not yet been approved for clinical use. Unless there is a major shift in the regulatory environment in which we operate, we aim to complete clinical trials for our KOA products within the next year and begin generating revenue from our biomedical operations beginning in 2014.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are 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.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to a permanent exemption of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report. Accordingly, our management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 has not been audited by our auditors, Tarvaran & Askelson or any other independent registered accounting firm.

Board Meetings and Committees
 
Our Board held no formal meetings during the 2012 fiscal year. All proceedings of the Board were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions are, according to the corporate laws of the States of Delaware and Arizona, and our bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held. The Board does not currently have a policy with regard to Board member attendance at annual shareholder meetings, and there was no annual shareholder meeting during the 2012 fiscal year.
 

In fiscal year 2012, our Board had not yet established an audit committee, compensation committee, or nominating committee. The functions ordinarily handled by these committees are currently handled by our entire Board. Our Board is reviewing our governance structure. On February 20, 2013, the Board authorized formation of an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee and will adopt charters and appoint members of each of these respective committees in the near future. On February 20, 2013, the board appointed Mr. Tony Liu as Chairman of the Audit Committee, and determined that Mr. Liu meets the qualifications under the applicable rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market to serve as an audit committee financial expert.
 
Conflicts of Interest
 
Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of our company. Although the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate they will devote an important amount of time to our affairs.
 
Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to ours. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.
 
Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.
 
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
 
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock. The rules promulgated by the SEC under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act require those persons to furnish us with copies of all reports filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 16(a). The information in this section is based solely upon a review of Forms 3, Forms 4, and Forms 5 received by us.

We believe that all of the Company's executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders have timely complied with their filing requirements during the year ended December 31, 2012, except for Keith Wong and Norman Klein have inadvertently not timely filed Form 4s during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of ethics which applies to all our directors, officers and employees and comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote the behavior described in Item 406 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. A copy of our "Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees" was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 14.1 to the Registration Statement, filed October 30, 2006. In the event that we make any amendments to, or grant any waivers of, a provision of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees that applies to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer that requires disclosure under applicable SEC rules, we intend to disclose such amendment or waiver and the reasons therefor in a Form 8-K or in our next periodic report.
 
 
Changes to Nominating Procedures
 
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors during our last fiscal year.

Compensation of Directors
 
Prior to the Merger, the Company compensated directors through options to purchase common stock as consideration for their joining our Board and/or providing continued services as a director. Directors were not provided with cash compensation, although the Company would reimburse their expenses.
 

After the Merger, the Company determined that the annual cash compensation (prorated daily) to be paid to each director shall consist of $30,000 for each independent director and $20,000 for each non-independent director. In addition, each independent director of the Board is eligible to receive a non-qualified option grant under the Plan, under which such director’s initial option grant shall be for a number of shares of common stock as set forth in the Independent Director Agreement for each such director and shall include such other terms to be determined by the Board and or its Compensation Committee.
 
Non-Executive Director Agreement

The Company has and will continue to enter into agreements with independent non-executive directors, under which these directors will be paid $30,000 per year (prorated daily based on a 360 day year for any portion of the year if he serves for less than a full term) for services as a director. Independent directors shall also be eligible to receive a non-qualified option grant under the Plan which shall constitute up to 0.1% of the total outstanding number of common shares of the Company and includes other terms to be determined by the Board and or/its Compensation Committee as the Board may determine.

Risk Management in Compensation Policies and Procedures
 
Due to the Company's lack of cash flows, it has historically compensated its officers in stock rather than paying a cash salary. By compensating these officers in stock, we believe they have a greater incentive to take steps to increase the value of the Company's stock than they would if compensated in cash. As the Company's value is largely based on the value of the equity it receives from its clients, paying the officers using Company stock may incentivize them to take additional risks in an attempt to increase the value of the Company's stock.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

As a result of the merger with CBMG BVI, a change in control of the Company occurred. More specifically, upon consummation of the merger on February 6, 2013 the former CBMG BVI shareholders were issued shares of Company Common Stock constituting a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company.

In connection with the change in control, Wen Tao (Steve) Liu, Wei (William) Cao and Tony Liu were appointed as directors of the Company upon the closing of the merger. Mr. Wong and Mr. Klein, along with these three individuals, comprise the entire Board of Directors (a total of five members) as of the closing date of the merger.

Other than the transactions and agreements disclosed in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 20, 2012 and February 12, 2013, the Company knows of no arrangements resulting in a change in control of the Company. Except as set forth in this Annual Report, no officer, director, promoter, or affiliate of the Company has, or proposes to have, any direct or indirect material interest in any asset proposed to be acquired by the Company through security holdings, contracts, options, or otherwise.
 
 
At the closing of the merger, the Company entered into executive employment agreements with each of Wen Tao (Steve) Liu, Wei (William) Cao and Andrew Chan (the “New Officers”) dated February 6, 2013 (each an “Employment Agreement,” collectively, the “Employment Agreements”). Pursuant to their Employment Agreements, the New Officers will receive an annual base salary of $150,000. The New Officers are also eligible to participate in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and receive an option grant thereunder for the purchase of common stock of the Company at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”).

After the three year term, if the New Officers continue to be employed, they will be employed on an at-will basis and their agreements shall automatically renew for successive one year terms, until and unless their employment is terminated.

If during the initial three year period following February 6, 2013, the New Officers are terminated for any reason other than death, disability, Cause (as defined in their Employment Agreements) or for no good reason, the Company shall be obligated to: (i) pay a severance amount equal to one times the New Officer’s base salary; (ii) accelerate and vest in full the New Officer’s stock options; (iii) subject to the New Officer’s election to receive COBRA, pay for the executive’s COBRA premiums during the twelve month period commencing with continuation coverage for the month in which the date of termination occurs.

The Board has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and has discussed with its auditors its independence from the Company.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc. (formerly known as EastBridge Investment Group Corporation)
Palo Alto, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc. (formerly known as EastBridge Investment Group Corporation) (Company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc. (formerly known as EastBridge Investment Group Corporation) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
 
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc., (formerly known as EastBridge Investment Group Corporation; also formerly known as ATC Technology Corporation) (“Company”) was incorporated in the State of Arizona on June 25, 2001. The Company's principal activity through June 30, 2005 was to manufacture mobile entertainment products.
 
In 2005, the Company decided to exit the mobile entertainment market and dedicate its activities to providing investment related services in Asia, with a strong focus on high GDP growth countries, such as China. the Company concentrated its efforts in the Far East (Hong Kong, mainland China, Australia) and in the United States. The Company now provides consulting services necessary for small to medium-size companies to obtain capital to grow their business through its EastBridge Investment Corp subsidiary (“EastBridge Sub”). The Company assists its clients in locating investment banking, financial advisory and other financial services necessary to become public companies in the United States or find joint venture partners or raise capital to expand their businesses. The EastBridge Sub locates consultants which assist with marketing, sales and strategic planning services for its clients to prepare them to enter the United States capital market.
 
In January 2007, the Company formed Fiber One Limited (“Fiber One”) in Hong Kong as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to provide calibration and maintenance services to fiber optic companies in Asia, mainly in China and Japan. On June 11, 2007, the Company distributed 5.0% of Fiber One's stock to its shareholders of record on June 11, 2007. Accordingly, the results of Fiber One have been consolidated with those of the Company from the date of formation of Fiber One. In December 2008, the Company discontinued operations of Fiber One and two other subsidiaries. Accordingly, all results associated with these entities have been retroactively restated and reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company formed other subsidiaries to facilitate its clients’ entry into the US capital markets and intends to merge these subsidiaries with the operating entities of its clients in the future. These subsidiaries were dissolved in 2012.
 
Through December 31, 2012 the Company was solely focused on in marketing consulting services to the many small to mid-size Asian and U.S. companies that require financial services to assist them in expanding in their local markets. The Company had twelve (12) clients as of December 31, 2012 that it provides consulting services to.

On November 13, 2012, EastBridge Investment Group Corporation (“EastBridge” or “Parent”) and CBMG Acquisition Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and among EastBridge, Merger Sub and Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“CBMG BVI”), as amended on January 15, 2013, January 31, 2013 and February 6, 2013, pursuant to which the parties agreed that Merger Sub shall merge with and into CBMG BVI, with CBMG BVI as the surviving entity. The transactions under the Merger Agreement as amended are referred to as the “Merger”. The Merger was subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, (a) approval by the shareholders of CBMG BVI, (b) resignations of the departing directors and officers of EastBridge, Merger Sub and CBMG BVI, and (c) execution of certain ancillary agreements, including, but not limited to, executive employment agreements with EastBridge, compliance certificates, lock up agreement and opinions of counsel, as referenced in Article VII of the Merger Agreement.
 
On December 20, 2012 CBMG BVI obtained shareholder approval by holding an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, in which holders of a majority of its capital stock approved the merger pursuant to British Virgin Islands law. Since the Merger was structured as a triangular merger in which a wholly owned merger subsidiary of EastBridge merged with CBMG BVI, no shareholder approval on the part of the EastBridge shareholders was required under Delaware law.  We note that although EastBridge issued in excess of 20% of its shares in the merger, since its shares are not listed on a national exchange, no shareholder approval requirement applied to this transaction under any exchange rules.”
 
While the Merger Agreement was agreed upon on November 13, 2012 by all parties, it was not consummated and effective until February 6, 2013, when all of the requirements of the Merger were satisfied (refer to Note 13 – Subsequent Events for further details of these requirements).
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:

Principles of Consolidation

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company utilizes the guidance set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, regarding the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in its financial statements. The Company engages in listing contracts with its clients which provide for the payment of fees, either in cash or equity, upon the achievement of certain milestones including the successful completion of a financial statement audit, the successful listing on a national stock exchange and the maintenance of ongoing 1934 Act registration requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In some instances, payment may be made in advance of performance; however, such payment is often refundable in the event that milestones are not reached. The Company recognizes revenue on a systematic basis as milestones are reached in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition” Update No. 2009-13. Such guidance stipulates that revenue be recognized for individual elements in a multiple deliverable arrangement using the relative selling price method. The Company relies on internal estimates of the relative selling price of each element as objective third-party evidence is unattainable.
 
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank. At times, cash deposits may exceed government-insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

As of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2012, the Company maintained a policy of not recording accounts receivable from our “listing” operations (i.e. listing agreements with clients). Accordingly, the Company did not have an accounting policy of recognizing an allowance for doubtful accounts. The accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2012 was the result of the remaining payment due in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPA. Such payment was received subsequent to the filing of the 10-K on April 4, 2013. This accounting policy was revised soon thereafter relating to the Company’s Consulting segment, adopted for the period ended March 31, 2013 and detailed within the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 20, 2013.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance would be provided for those deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.
 
A full valuation allowance has been established against all net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 based on estimates of recoverability. While the Company has optimistic plans for its business strategy, we determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient profits from its business model.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company periodically uses stock-based awards, consisting of shares of common stock, to compensate certain officers and consultants. Shares are expensed on a straight line basis over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, if any. Typically, stock awards are fully vested at the date of grant, so forfeitures are not applicable.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighing them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted net loss per share for the Company is the same as basic net loss per share, as the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under the FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
 
Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain unobservable assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets.

All transfers between fair value hierarchy levels are recognized by the Company at the end of each reporting period. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investment in those instruments.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:

Investments

The fair value of “investments” is dependent on the type of investment, whether it is marketable or non-marketable.

Marketable securities held by the Company are held for an indefinite period of time and thus are classified as available-for-sale securities. The fair value is determined by the closing price for the investment as of the balance sheet date. Realized investment gains and losses are included in the statement of operations, as are provisions for other than temporary declines in the market value of available for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed to be temporary are excluded from earnings (losses), net of applicable taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Factors considered in judging whether an impairment is other than temporary include the financial condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of decline, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value recovers.

Non-marketable securities held by the Company in exchange for services, the cost is estimated to be the fair value of the services rendered or the securities received, whichever is more readily determinable. Non-marketable securities continue to be carried at cost and management reviews the non-marketable securities each balance sheet date to determine if there should be any impairment. This is typically based on the recent transactions for this stock or the equity position in the issuing company.

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable and related party payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Comprehensive Loss

We apply ASC No. 220, Comprehensive Income (ASC 220). ASC 220 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, requiring its components to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Our comprehensive loss was $4,047,912 and $22,847 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
 
Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations. There was no change to previously reported stockholders’ deficit or net loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (“ASU 2012-03”). This update was issued in order to codify various amendments and corrections included in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114, SEC Release 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics: Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs. The amendments and corrections included in this update are effective upon issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements, (“ASU 2012-04”).” This update includes source literature amendments, guidance clarification, reference corrections and relocated guidance affecting a variety of topics in the Codification. The update also includes conforming amendments to the Codification to reflect ASC 820’s fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update that will not have transition guidance are effective upon issuance. The amendments in this update that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2011-04”) in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Under ASU 2011-04, the guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in GAAP and in IFRS and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. ASU 2011-04 is effective for public entities during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”), which amends ASU 2011-05 by indefinitely deferring the requirement under ASU 2011-05 to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, except for the components of ASU 2011-05 which were indefinitely deferred by ASU 2011-12, and has included separate unaudited statements of comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it only required a change in the format of the current presentation.

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The estimated fair value amounts for December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been measured as of period end, and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to that date. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the reporting date may be different than the amounts reported at period end.

Financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy consist of investments in financial instruments in which the value is based on the net value provided by the Client issuing the instruments.

NOTE 7 – EQUITY

Accounting Standard Codification Topic 505 Equity paragraph 505-50-30-6 establishes that share-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company’s policy is to record all stock transactions at the quoted market price on the day of issuance, as the most consistently reliable measurement of the transaction value. These amounts are the differences between the debt or cash that was exchanged for the shares issued.

As of December 31, 2012, EastBridge had 1,568,920 shares of no par common stock issued and outstanding with 300,000,000 shares authorized.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 8,600 shares of common stock to consultants for services rendered. The Company expensed $46,350 in connection with these issuances based on the quoted market prices on the date of issuance.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 9,101 shares of common stock to a shareholder with a value (based on OTCQB Quote) of approximately $54,605 in exchange for a debt with the shareholder of $64,100, resulting in a benefit to the Company.. The Company reduced the debt by $64,100 and recorded interest income of $9,495 in connection with these issuances based on the quoted market price on the date of issuance. This benefit was classified as interest income to be consistent as previous similar transactions that had resulted in additional expense were classified as interest expense. Both interest income and gain on the settlement of debt are listed in the Other Income (Expense) section of the income statement. The Company elected to present consistently with previous filings.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold 1,250 shares of common stock, with a value of $11,250 (based on the OTCQB Quote) for cash in the amount of $5,000. The Company expensed an additional $6,250 based on the quoted market prices on the date of issuance. In accordance with ASC 718-10 Stock Compensation the Company expensed the net value of the stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 35,333 shares of common stock to consultants for services rendered. The Company expensed $310,741 in connection with these issuances based on the quoted market prices on the date of issuance.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 14,316 shares of common stock to a shareholder with a value (based on OTCQB Quote) of approximately $100,212 in exchange for a debt with the shareholder of $152,900, resulting in a benefit to the Company. The Company reduced the debt by $152,900 and recorded interest income of $52,688 in connection with these issuances based on the quoted market price on the date of issuance. This benefit was classified as interest income to be consistent with previous similar transactions that had resulted in additional expense classified as interest expense. Both interest income and gain on the settlement of debt are listed in the Other Income (Expense) section of the income statement. The Company elected to present consistently with previous filings.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 9,714 shares of common stock to Mr. Wong, the former CEO’s spouse per the lease agreement described in Note 7. The Company expensed $106,857 in connection with these issuances based on the quoted market prices on the dates of issuance.

No deferred revenue is derived from the receipt of equity in clients.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Employment Agreements

On June 1, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Keith Wong, our former President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement provides for annual compensation in the amount of $240,000, effective June 1, 2005. Mr. Wong’s agreement contains confidentiality, non-compete, and good faith cooperation covenants. The agreement may not be terminated by either party except with cause on the part of the Company, upon the occurrence of Mr. Wong's death, disability, bankruptcy or incompetency, or with the mutual consent of both parties.

Reincorporation and Reverse Stock Split

Effective January 18, 2013, the Company completed a reincorporation from the State of Arizona to the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”) by filing a certificate of conversion and a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 18, 2013. In connection with the Reincorporation, effective January 31, 2013, the Company elected to exchange its shares of common stock. The shares were exchanged such that stockholders received one (1) share of the Company’s Delaware’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for every one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s Arizona common stock, no par value. This exchange ratio between Arizona and Delaware common stock resulted in the same effect as a 1-for-100 reverse stock split.
