&lt;p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px 0px 10pt; font: 10pt times new roman, times, serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 13, 2009. On April 20, 2011, we acquired, through our wholly owned subsidiary American CryoStem Acquisition Corporation, substantially all of the assets from, and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of, ACS Global, Inc. (&amp;#8220;ACS&amp;#8221;) in exchange for our issuance of 21,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to ACS (the &amp;#8220;Asset Purchase&amp;#8221;). We filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2011 disclosing the Asset Purchase and certain related matters including, but not limited to, the appointment of our present officers and directors as well as the resignation by the former chief executive officer and sole director. Our fiscal year ends September 30 of each calendar year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px 0px 10pt; font: 10pt times new roman, times, serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;American CryoStem, which we refer to as we, us, our and our Company, is a developer, marketer and global licensor of patented adipose tissue cellular technologies and related proprietary services with a focus on clinical processing, commercial bio-banking and application development for adipose (fat) tissue and autologous adipose derived regenerative cells (ADRCs). We maintain a strategic portfolio of intellectual property and patent applications that form our Adipose Tissue Processing Platform, which supports and promotes a growing pipeline of biologic products and processes, clinical services and international licensing opportunities. Through our ACS Laboratories Division, we operate an FDA registered, cGMP compliant human tissue processing, cryo-storage and cell culture and differentiation media development facility in Mount Laurel, New Jersey at the Burlington County College Science Incubator.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px 0px 10pt; font: 10pt times new roman, times, serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;The Company is publicly traded and is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol &amp;#8220;CRYO.&amp;#8221;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px 0px 10pt; font: 10pt times new roman, times, serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of American CryoStem Corporation as of June 30, 2013, the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months June 30, 2013 and 2012. The results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px 0px 10pt; font: 10pt times new roman, times, serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;The financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &amp;#8220;SEC&amp;#8221;) and consequently have been condensed and do not include all of the disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K.
