The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements. 5 CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------ The Consolidated Financial Statements including the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 28, 2001, Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended February 28, 2001 and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended February 28, 2001 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows at February 28, 2001 and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's November 30, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. NOTE 2 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES - ------------------------------- Net/Tech International In August 2000 Return on Investment Corporation (ROI) merged into Net/Tech International, Inc. (NTTI). ROI exchanged one share of common stock for twenty shares of NTTI common stock. In November 1998 the Company's ownership percentage in Net/Tech International Inc. (NTTI) decreased to less than 20% of the outstanding shares of NTTI. In previous years, the Company accounted for its investment in NTTI using the equity method but as of the date upon which its ownership percentage fell below 20% the Company used the guidance in SFAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities, to account for the investment. Since NTTI stock was thinly traded and subject to considerable price fluctuation, if the Company were to attempt to sell large blocks of shares, it was unlikely that the Company would be able to obtain the exchange market value listed. This security was therefore subject to considerable market risk as well as subject to certain trading restrictions that limit the nuber of shares that can be sold during a 90-day period. The Company recognized losses under the equity method for the NTTI investment during 1998 reducing the cost basis of the stock to $0. An unrealized gain has been recorded as a component of stockholders equity in the amount of $220,681 and $730,099 to reflect the fair market value of the investment as of February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000, respectively. 6 CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 2 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES (CONT'D) - ---------------------------------------- Other Securities In 1997 the Company acquired 100,000 shares of an equity security in payment for the sale of a Revenue Sharing Agreement. The original cost as determined by the trading price on the date of acquisition was $400,000. In February 2001, the Company sold 35,000 shares. The gross proceeds from the sale was $39,531, which resulted in a loss of $100,474, which is recognized as a Loss on the Sale of Securities. The fair value of this security as of February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000 was $65,000 and $118,750, respectively and the unrealized holding loss on this security was $195,000 and $281,250 as of February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000, respectively. NOTE 3- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - --------------------------------------- In June 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with World Medical Match, a non-profit corporation, whose mission includes assisting the poor with funds to provide them access to medical matching opportunities. The agreement states that World Medical Match agrees to grant the Company $50,000 for the purpose of paying for 200 U-Cord/TM/ stem cell collection kits and the first year of cryogenic storage for the benefit of indigent expectant parents. Upon execution of the agreement the Company was granted $25,000, which is classified as a deposit on the balance sheet. The Company is currently working with local medical practices, hospitals, and other medical industry organizations to implement this project. In January 2000 the Company extended its marketing agreement with Lamaze Publishing Company to sponsor the Lamaze You and Your Baby tutorial tape and full page advertisements in the Lamaze Parent Magazine at a cost of $213,362. In July 1999, the Company was informed that Lamaze Publishing Company was acquired by iVillage, Inc., a leading online women's network. The Company's agreements with Lamaze will remain in tact, including the exclusivity provisions as the only cord blood preservation company on the Lamaze You and Your Baby educational videotape through the year 2003. On April 6, 2000, the Company entered into a renewable agreement with COLTEC, Ltd. for the exclusive license to market the Company's U-CORD program in Europe. The marketing rights allow COLTEC, Ltd. to directly market the U-CORD program, sell revenue sharing agreements or further sub-license the marketing rights throughout Europe. The Company received $1,400,000 in cash and licensing fees of 10.5% to 20% of adjusted U-CORD processing and storage revenues to be generated in Europe, and granted COLTEC, Ltd. a three year option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock ($8.00 exercise price) and will issue up to 100,000 additional options ($12.00 exercise price) as needed, to facilitate sales of sub-licensing and/or revenue sharing agreements in Europe. The Company recognized $465,000 of the licensing fees in fiscal 2000 and $175,000 as of February 28, 2001. Subsequent to the licensing agreement date, COLTEC, Ltd. formed a corporation, CRYO-CELL Europe, B.V. to engage in the cryogenic cellular storage business under the agreement. On September 19, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase approximately 6% of CRYO-CELL Europe, B.V. In October and November 2000, the Company paid $1,000,000 for 38,760 shares of the capital stock of CRYO-CELL Europe, B.V. which the Company owned on January 24, 2001. 7 CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 4 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - --------------------------- On or about July 11, 1996, CRYO-CELL filed suit in San Francisco Superior Court against the University of Arizona, Dr. David Harris and Cord Blood Registry, Inc. (CBR). The suit claimed breach of contract and other related business torts. After settlement discussions were unproductive, the University of Arizona counter-sued CRYO-CELL for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation on March 27, 1997. On July 20, 1998, as a result of the evidence, the jury awarded $1,050,000 against Defendant University of Arizona. In addition, an award of $120,000 was granted against the University of Arizona and David Harris, individually, for misappropriation of trade secrets. The court rejected three post-trial motions by the University of Arizona including a request to reduce the award or set aside the verdict. On or about September 27, 1999 the Company accepted the University's offer of $800,000 and settled the matter. On September 30, 1999, the Company received $441,000 from the University of Arizona. The remaining balance of $359,000 is being held in escrow, to satisfy a legal lien filed November 4, 1998 by the Company's previous attorneys, Horwitz and Beam. The Company disputes their position and has countersued Horwitz and Beam for malpractice and is seeking $1,000,000 in compensatory damages and an unspecified amount of punitive damages deemed appropriate by the court. CRYO-CELL retained the services of Horwitz & Beam, a California law firm, to handle the above described lawsuit including its allegations against CBR for interference in a legitimate contract between two parties and unfair business practices, among other claims. The court granted a summary judgment dismissal in favor of CBR. CRYO-CELL believes that Horwitz & Beam mishandled the CBR aspect of the case and certain aspects of its case against the University of Arizona. There is a dispute concerning the amount of fees owed by the Company to Horwitz & Beam. On March 8, 1999, the Company, the Company's CEO and Chairman, the Company's Executive Vice President, and the Company's legal counsel were named as the defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Orange County, California by Horwitz & Beam, the attorneys which had represented CRYO-CELL in its suit against the University of Arizona et al. The plaintiff alleges breach of contract and seeks payment of $129,822 in allegedly unpaid fees and costs associated with the University of Arizona litigation. The plaintiff also asserts claims of misrepresentation. In reference to these misrepresentation claims, plaintiff has filed a Statement of Damages, which asserts $1,000,000 in general damages and $3,500,000 in punitive damages. The Company believes there is no merit to the suit and that none of the claimed $129,822 in fees is due and owing under the contract. The Company believes that Horwitz & Beam brought this action and improperly sought punitive damages for the purpose of interfering with the Company's efforts to raise and maintain additional capital. Accordingly, on June 14, 1999, the Company filed: (1) an answer denying all liability; (2) a counterclaim for breach of contract and malpractice, seeking in excess of $1 million in compensatory damages arising from the malpractice; (3) a motion to dismiss the individual defendants for lack of jurisdiction; and (4) a motion to dismiss all punitive damages allegations against the Company. On December 17, 1999, Judge Alicemarie H. Stotler of the United States District Court in the Central District of California, issued an Order in which she: (1) granted CRYO-CELL International, Inc.'s ("CRYO-CELL") Motion to Strike Punitive Damages and Dismiss Part of the Complaint; (2) granted Daniel Richard's, Mark Richard's and Gerald F. Maass' (the "Individual Defendants") Motion to Dismiss Complaint for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction; and (3) granted in part and denied in part Horwitz & Beam, Inc.'s ("H&B") Motion for Order Dismissing Counterclaim and/or Strike Portions Thereof. As discussed 8 CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 4 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - --------------------------- in more detail below, the net effect of this order was to reframe the Complaint as a fee dispute, as opposed to a multi-million dollar claim for fraud against CRYO-CELL and its corporate officers. By its order, the Court has barred recovery in this action against the Individual Defendants, and has reduced CRYO- CELL's exposure from over $3.5 million dollars to $129,822, plus a possible award of attorneys' fees. By granting CRYO-CELL's Motion to Strike Punitive Damages and Dismiss Part of the Complaint, the Court dismissed H&B's Fourth Claim for Relief for intentional misrepresentation, i.e., fraud, against CRYO-CELL and the Individual Defendants. The Court held that the promises purportedly made to H&B concerning the opening of an "escrow," even if not ultimately fulfilled, were not fraudulent. In fact, the Court said that "although the Individual Defendants clearly made representations that an 'escrow' would be established, their not having done so, in light of uncertainties of the future course of litigation and their misgivings of plaintiff's performance, suggests nothing more than a negotiation of payment terms." The Court granted CRYO-CELL's Motion to Strike Punitive Damages Claims with respect to H&B's Fifth Claim for Relief because such damages are not available in connection with negligence claims. Having dismissed the Fourth Claim for Relief for Fraud, H&B's motion to strike the punitive damages claimed in connection therewith was rendered moot. NOTE 5 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - ------------------------------ During 2000, the Company received $21,000 in cash proceeds from the sales of 5,000 shares of its common stock through private placements. The Company also issued 879,250 common shares to option holders who exercised these options in 2000 for $2,540,203. As of February 28, 2001 the Company issued 18,000 shares of its common shares to option holders who exercised options for $41,000. The Company made payments for consulting services through the issuance of common stock. Consulting fees of $40,000 were paid by the issuance of 10,000 common shares during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company also issued 15,000 shares of its common stock to the University of South Florida per the agreement made between the University and CCEL Bio-Therapies, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, during the first quarter of 2001. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options. Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized for the amount of the excess of the market price over the exercise price on the date of the grant. In 2000, the Company incurred $124,010 in consulting expenses based on the amortization portion of options issued to purchase 471,980 shares of the Company's common stock. In February 2001 $33,270 is recognized as consulting expenses based on the amortization portion. These options expire through 2004. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developd for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that are fully transferable. The Company's options have the characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. 9 CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 6 AGREEMENTS - -------------------- Arizona On February 9, 1999, the previous agreements with the Company's Arizona Revenue Sharing investors were modified and replaced by a Revenue Sharing Agreement for the state of Florida for a price of $1,000,000. Under the terms of this agreement the Company credited the investors' previously paid $450,000 toward the purchase of the Revenue Sharing Agreement. The balance of $550,000 will be paid through their Revenue Sharing entitlements to their share of net storage revenues. The Revenue Sharing Agreement applies to net storage revenues originating from specimens from within the state of Florida. The Revenue Sharing Agreement entitles the investors to net revenues from a maximum of 33,000 storage spaces and cancels the investor's obligation to provide the Company with $675,000 plus accrued interest under the prior Arizona agreement. Illinois In 1996, the Company signed agreements with a group of investors entitling them to an on-going 50% share in the Company's portion of net storage revenues generated by specimens stored in the Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Since the Company will no longer be storing new specimens in Chicago, the agreements were modified in 1998 to entitle the investors to a 50% share of the Company's portion of net revenues relating to specimens originating in Illinois and its contiguous states and stored in Clearwater, Florida for a maximum of up to 33,000 spaces. The revenue generated by this Single Unit Revenue Sharing Agreement was $1,000,000. Bio-Stor, LLC On February 26, 1999, the Company modified all previous agreements with Bio-Stor, LLC. The modified agreement enters Bio-Stor into a Revenue Sharing Agreement for the state of New York. The Company will credit Bio-Stor's $900,000 (previously paid) toward the purchase of 90% of its 50% share in CRYO- CELL's portion of net storage revenues generated by the specimens originating from the Company's clients in the state of New York for up to 33,000 shared spaces. This agreement supersedes all other agreements between Bio-Stor, LLC and the Company. Tenet HealthSystem Hospitals, Inc. On November 30, 1996, the Company signed agreements with OrNda HealthCorp. Two "one-third" Revenue Sharing Agreements were purchased in which OrNda paid the Company $666,666. OrNda was acquired by Tenet Healthcare Corporation, which agreed to be bound by the terms of the OrNda agreements. The agreements were renegotiated and the Company will store all Tenet originated specimens at its headquarter's lab in Clearwater, Florida while paying Tenet a revenue sharing entitlement. New Jersey On November 30, 1999, the Company entered into agreements with two investors entitling them to on-going shares in a portion of CRYO-CELL's net storage revenue generated by specimens originating from within the state of New Jersey. Deposits totaling $50,000 were received upon signing of the agreements and the remaining $450,000 was originally due in May 2000. In May 2000 the original due date for the remaining balance was extended to April 2001. As of February 28, 2001 the remaining balance due is $380,000. Upon receipt of the balance due the investors will be entitled to a portion of net storage revenues generated to a maximum of 33,000 storage spaces. 10 CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 6 AGREEMENTS (CONT'D) - ----------------------------- Saggi Capital In November 1998, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement with Saggi Capital Corporation. Saggi Capital agreed to provide various business consulting and investor relations services for the Company. Per the agreement the Company registered 200,000 options to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. These options have been exercised and common stock has been issued to Saggi. The Company did not recognize an expense on the issuance of these options since the Company's common stock was trading below the exercise price on the date of grant. In January 2000, the Company renewed its contract with Saggi Capital. The Company has terminated this agreement effective January 2001. Women & Infants' Hospital of Rhode Island In June 1998, the Company signed an agreement with Women & Infants' Hospital of Rhode Island ("hospital") for the establishment of a commercial placental/umbilical cord blood bank at their Providence, Rhode Island medical facility. The hospital will be offering its stem cell banking services to parents of approximately 9,000 babies who are born each year at this facility. Under the terms of the agreement the hospital will provide the space and utilities, liquid nitrogen supply, technician, etc. CRYO-CELL will be responsible for the billing activities. The storage revenues will be divided 75% to the Company and 25% to the hospital, while the hospital is entitled to 100% of the processing revenue. Additionally, if processing revenue is insufficient to cover the fixed costs of the cord blood bank, CRYO-CELL will be responsible to pay the shortfall. In order to cover the possible shortfall the hospital required $50,000 to be placed in escrow. The $50,000 is classified as cash on the balance sheet. Other Agreements On November 5, 1998 an agreement previously entered into by the Company with a private investor was revised. Per the terms of the original agreement, the investor had purchased 10% of a Revenue Sharing Agreement in the state of New Jersey. The new agreement has transferred the $100,000 investment to the state of New York. Under the revised agreement the investor will receive 10% of the 50% share in CRYO-CELL's portion of net storage revenues generated by the specimens originating from the Company's clients in the state of New York for up to 33,000 spaces. University of South Florida at Tampa In February 2000, the Company, through its subsidiary CCEL BIO-THERAPIES, Inc., entered into a research agreement with the University of South Florida at Tampa to collaborate on a technology for the potential treatment of a number of debilitating degenerative diseases. The research project is to be conducted at the University's laboratory facilities. In March 2000, the Company transferred $200,000 to CCEL BIO-THERAPIES, Inc. to meet its funding commitment. CCEL BIO- THERAPIES, Inc. and the University are co-assignees of a filed patent application covering the technology. An application has been made for federal grants (SBIR and STTR research grants) on behalf of the Company and CCEL BIO- THERAPIES, Inc. In addition, an application is being filed for a State of Florida I-4 matching grant. The Company has been granted worldwide marketing rights for any product developed as a result of this research program. Under the terms of the agreement, the University will receive standard royalty payments on any product sales. In February 2001, the Company paid the University an initial $100,000 license payment with the issuance of 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock. 11 CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 7 RECEIVABLE LITIGATION - ------------------------------- On or about September 27, 1999 the Company accepted the University of Arizona's offer of $800,000 to settle its litigation. In September 1999, the Company received $441,000 from the University of Arizona leaving a balance of $359,000 that is being held in escrow to satisfy a legal lien filed November 4, 1998 by the Company's previous attorneys, Horwitz and Beam. The Company reduced the award to $510,178 and recognized this as gain on litigation. This reduction includes a 20% contingency fee ($160,000) to the Company's previous attorneys and $129,822 in contested legal fees that the Company feels are not due and owing under the contract (See Note 4). When the $289,822 is netted against the $359,000 held in escrow the result is a receivable balance of $69,178. The Company has requested the release of the $69,178 from escrow, which is the excess of 20% of the $800,000 actual settlement amount. The overage is a result of the Company's settlement of the $1,170,000 original jury award. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. CRYO-CELL International, Inc. was incorporated on September 11, 1989 in the state of Delaware. It is engaged in cryogenic cellular storage and the design and development of cellular storage devices. The Company's current focus is on the processing and preservation of umbilical cord (U-Cord/TM/) blood stem cells for autologous/sibling use. Having recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, the Company believes that it is the fastest growing commercial firm currently specializing in separated umbilical cord blood stem cell storage. CRYO-CELL has pioneered several technologies that allow for the processing and storage of specimens in a cryogenic environment. The Company's original mission of affordability for U-Cord blood preservation remains in effect. These technologies include a process for the storage of fractionated (separated) U- Cord stem cells and the development and patenting of the first computer controlled, robotically operated cryogenic storage system. Its headquarters facility in Clearwater, FL handles all aspects of its business operations including the processing and storage of specimens in one site. Several other companies involved in commercial cell banking rely on shipping their specimens elsewhere for processing and storage. It is the Company's mission to make expectant parents aware of the potential medical benefits from preserving stem cells and to provide them the means and processes for collection and storage of these cells. Today, stem cell transplants are known and accepted treatments for a number of life-threatening diseases. With continued research in this area of medical technology, other avenues for their potential use and expansion are being explored. A vast majority of expectant parents are simply unaware that umbilical cord blood contains a rich supply of stem cells and that they can be collected, processed and stored for the potential future use of the newborn and possibly related family members. A baby's stem cells will remain a perfect match for the baby throughout its life and have a 1-in-4 chance (or better) of being a perfect match for a sibling. There is no assurance, however, that a perfect match could treat certain diseases. Today, it is still common for the cord blood (the blood remaining in the umbilical cord and placenta) to be discarded at the time of birth as medical waste. Obviously, the Company believes that no U-Cord specimen should be discarded when it could possibly save a life. Given the potential benefits of U-Cord stem cell preservation, the number of stored parents of newborns participating in stem cell preservation is still relatively small compared to the number of births (four million per annum) in the United States alone. Critical reasons for this low level of market penetration are the misperception of the high cost of stem cell storage as well as a general lack of awareness of the benefits of stem cell preservation programs. However, evolving medical technology could significantly increase the utilization of the U-Cord blood for transplantation and/or other types of treatments. A number of competitors in this market have been charging upwards of $1000 - $1500 for this stem cell 12 preservation plus higher annual fees for storage than the Company charges. The cost is usually not covered by insurance. The Company has made this procedure affordable and within financial reach of most families. The growth and profitability of the Company should come from increases in stem cell specimen storage volume driven by its marketing approaches, resulting in an increasing base of annual stem cell storage renewal fees. In June 1998, the Company signed an agreement with Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. The Company has offered Its U-Cord program services for the potential medical benefit of the approximately 9,000 babies born annually at the hospital. During 2001, all U-Cord/TM/ blood processing and preservation will be done at the Company's facility. It is anticipated that this shift in focus will limit the number of new Lifespan/SM/ Center implementations in the future. During the period since its inception, the Company's research and development activities have principally involved the design and development of its cellular storage systems ("CCEL Cellular Storage System") and in securing patents on the same. The Company believes that its long-term cellular storage units can provide an improved ability to store cells or other material in liquid nitrogen, its vapors or other media. The units are controlled by a computer system, which robotically inserts vials in pre-selected storage areas inside the chamber. Additionally, the stored material can be robotically inserted or retrieved by computer on an individual basis without all of the remaining specimens being exposed to ambient temperature. The efficient use of storage space and a dual identification system for inventory control is a competitive advantage for the Company. The Company is the assignee of all patents on the units. Other cryopreservation systems are manually operated and can expose the laboratory technician to liquid nitrogen when inserting or retrieving specimens. Moreover, the use of these units exposes the remaining stored specimens to ambient temperature whenever specimens are inserted or retrieved. The Company has designed and holds patents on a system which makes use of the latest in computer, robotics and bar code laser scanning identification technologies. The unit is currently assembled by an independent manufacturer utilizing the Company's patented designs. In February 1999, the Company was granted a patent on the CCEL III computer controlled robotically operated cellular storage system which is designed to be multi-functional. When completely developed the unit will be able to store more than 35,000 5ml vials, and many times that number of smaller vials. Because the CCEL III is multi-functional it is currently being evaluated for various other uses. The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the quarter ended February 28, 2001 as compared to the same period of the prior year. General To increase awareness of its services, the Company has invested in a variety of marketing programs designed to educate expectant parents and those medical caregivers to whom they turn to for advice. The Company markets its preservation services to expectant parents and by distributing information to obstetricians, pediatricians, Lamaze instructors and other, childbirth educators, certified nurse-midwifes and other related healthcare professionals. The Company has clinical educators based in several regions who work with the medical community and with expectant parents to educate them on cord blood stem cell preservation. The Company also has a clinical support team of specially trained nurses who are available 24 hours, 7 days a week to educate expectant parents and the medical community on the life-saving potential of cord blood stem cell preservation. In addition, the Company exhibits at conferences, trade shows and other media focusing on the expectant parent market. The 13 Company is realizing an increasing level of interest from its Web site, www.CRYO-CELL.com. In January 2000 the Company renewed its agreement with the Lamaze Publishing Company to sponsor the Lamaze You and Your Baby tutorial tape. The agreement has been extended for three (3) years and calls for Lamaze to distribute the videotape to 1.8 million women in their third trimester of pregnancy. Over 90% of first time mothers and 45% of the pre-natal market avail themselves of the Lamaze Institute for Family Education proven instruction programs. The tutorial tape, which is distributed by approximately 9over 10,000 instructors, discusses the importance of cord blood storage and refers viewers to the full-page ad that the Company has placed in the Lamaze Parents Magazine, which is distributed to 2.4 million expectant mothers. During 2000, 600,000 You and Your Baby CD's were distributed through WAL-MART stores for the first time. The Company also places an ad in Lamaze para Padres, Lamaze Publishing's magazine for Hispanic mothers-to-be. The Company has exclusivity on the tutorial tape in the cord blood storage category and first right of refusal for renewal of the agreement beyond 2003. In March 2000, the Company became a sponsor of the 2000 ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) Meeting CD-ROM. The CD includes a segment on the Company's U-Cord/TM/ program and was distributed to approximately 40,000 ACOG members in November 2000. The Company is the only cord blood preservation firm featured on the CD-ROM. In March 2000, the Company launched its Mother to Mother/TM/ Educational Network program to offer the Company's umbilical cord blood preservation program to expectant parents. The network is comprised of clients who have stored their newborn's U-Cord blood stem cells with the Company. These independent contractors contact expectant parents, OB/GYN's and medical caregivers advising them of the Company's affordable service. The Company's advertisements have appeared in, or are scheduled for insertion in, several national targeted prenatal magazines including American Baby, Pregnancy, Baby Talk and Fit Pregnancy. Expectant parents have also received information via emails and newsletter links through BabyCenter.com. BayNews 9, a CNN affiliate, and NewsChannel 10 have both carried stories about CRYO-CELL's affordable service. In January 2001, the Company established the Grandparent's Legacy Program. Through this program, grandparents can provide the gift of cord blood stem cell preservation for their grandchildren. In September 1999, the Company was granted a Blood Bank license to operate in the state of New Jersey. The Company is now authorized to operate in all 50 states. In February 2000, the Company, through its subsidiary CCEL BIO-THERAPIES, Inc., entered into a research agreement with the University of South Florida at Tampa to collaborate on a technology for the potential treatment of a number of debilitating degenerative diseases. The research project is being conducted at the University's laboratory facilities. In March 2000, the Company transferred $200,000 to CCEL BIO-THERAPIES, Inc. to meet its funding commitment under this agreement. CCEL BIO-THERAPIES, Inc. and the University are co-assignees of a filed patent application covering the technology utilizing cord blood for the treatment of neurological degenerative diseases. An application has been made for federal grants (SBIR and STTR research grants) on behalf of the Company and CCEL BIO-THERAPIES, Inc. If the grants are approved an additional $100,000 per grant will be received, which will be used to further research. In addition, the application for a State of Florida I-4 matching grant has been approved for $100,000, which will also be used for research. The Company has been granted worldwide marketing rights for any product developed as a result of this research program. Under the terms of the agreement, the University will receive standard royalty payments on any product sales. In February 2001, the Company paid the University an initial $100,000 license payment with the issuance of 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock. On April 6, 2000, the Company entered into a renewable agreement with COLTEC, Ltd. for the exclusive license to market the Company's U-CORD program in Europe. The marketing rights 14 allow COLTEC, Ltd. to directly market the U-CORD program, sell revenue sharing agreements or further sub-license the marketing rights throughout Europe. The Company received $1,400,000 in cash and licensing fees of 10.5% to 20% of adjusted U-CORD processing and storage revenues to be generated in Europe, and granted COLTEC, Ltd. a three year option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock ($8.00 exercise price) and will issue up to 100,000 additional options ($12.00 exercise price), as needed, to facilitate sales of sub-licensing and/or revenue sharing agreements in Europe. The Company recognized $465,000 of the licensing fees in 2000. Subsequent to the licensing agreement date, COLTEC, Ltd. formed a corporation, CRYO-CELL Europe, B.V. to engage in the cryogenic cellular storage business under the agreement. At September 19, 2000 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase approximately 6% of CRYO-CELL Europe, B.V. In October and November 2000, the Company paid $1,000,000 for 38,760 shares of the capital stock of CRYO-CELL Europe, B.V. that the Company owned on January 24, 2001. The Company has established a Medical & Scientific Advisory Board comprised of the more than 10 researchers, physicians and scientists from various fields such as oncology, stem cell research, hematology, genetic research, assisted reproduction and other specialties. Many of the Company's Advisory Board members are heads of departments and are committed to cellular storage as part of new services to improve patient care and saves lives.

Results of Operations Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2001 were $761,618 as compared to $425,903 for the same period in 1999 representing a 79% increase. The increase in revenues reflects the significant growth in the processing and storage revenue associated with the Company's U-Cord/TM/ stem cell program. The Company believes that the growth is a result of its investments in its various marketing programs, including its activities with Lamaze Publishing, and the increased traffic on its updated Web site www.CRYO-CELL.com. The upward sales trend has continued into the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended February 28, 2001 were $264,448 as compared to $163,607 in 2000. The cost of sales for the three months ended February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000 represents the associated expenses resulting from the processing and testing of the U-Cord/TM/ specimens in the Company's own state of the art laboratory in Clearwater, Florida. Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses. Marketing, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2001 were $808,948 as compared to $576,636 in 2000. The increase reflects, in part, the expenses of additional executive management, market development, lab operations support and clinical services expansion associated with the growth of the Company's cellular storage program. Research, Development and Related Engineering Expenses. Research, development and related engineering expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2001, were $17,591 as compared to $21,191 in 2000. The expenses incurred in 2001 reflect the funding of the research project between the Company's a subsidiary, CCEL Bio-Therapies, Inc., and the University of South Florida at Tampa. The reduction reflects the impact of previous investments regarding the Company's third generation cellular storage system. Liquidity and Capital Resources At February 28, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,560,901 as compared to $1,530,177 at February 29, 2000.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - ------------------------- I. In December,December 1992, CRYO-CELL entered into an exclusive agreement with the University of Arizona to develop and enhance a commercial (paid for) cord blood stem cell bank. Prior to this agreement the University of Arizona had not commenced storing any cord blood specimens. CRYO-CELL provided the means for the University to obtain approximately 1400 paying clients. Prior to the termination of the exclusive agreement, which CRYO- CELL alleges was unwarranted,unwarranted, the University breached its contract with CRYO-CELL and entered into an Agreement with Cord Blood Registry, Inc. (CBR). On or about July 11, 1996, CRYO-CELL filed suit in San Francisco Superior Court against the University of Arizona, Dr. David Harris and Cord Blood Registry, Inc. The suit claimed breach of contract and other related business torts. Months later, after settlement discussions were unproductive, the University of Arizona counter-sued CRYO-CELL for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation. On July 20, 1998, as a result of the evidence, the jury awarded $1,050,000 against Defendant University of Arizona. In addition, an award of $120,000 was granted against the University of Arizona and David Harris, individually, for misappropriation of trade secrets. The jury voted unanimously against the University and in favor of CRYO-CELL as to the counter claims. The court rejected three post-trial motions by the University of Arizona including a request to reduce the award or set aside the verdict. On or about September 27, 1999 the Company accepted the University's offer of $800,000 and settled the matter in order to avoid a lengthy and costly appeals process. On September 30, 1999, the Company received $441,000 from the University of Arizona. The remaining balance of $359,000 is being held in escrow, to satisfy a legal lien filed November 4, 1998 by the Company's previous attorneys, Horwitz and Beam. The Company disputes their position and has counter sued sued Horwitz and Beam for malpractice and is seeking $1,000,000 in compensatory damages and an unspecified amount of punitive damages deemed appropriate by the court. II. CRYO-CELL retained the services of Horwitz & Beam, a California law firm, to handle the above-described lawsuit including its allegations against CBR for interference in a legitimate contract between two parties and unfair business practices, among other claims. The court granted a summary judgment dismissal in favor of CBR. CRYO-CELL believes that Horwitz & Beam mishandled the CBR aspect of the case and certain aspects of its case against the University of Arizona by failing to depose CBR defendents on a timely basis and failing to respond to the University's request for an exemption from punitive damages (stating they were a public entity), among others. Without this evidence, t he court granted a summary judgment dismissal in favor of CBR. There is a dispute as to whether Horwitz and Beam is entitled to the fees of $129,822 they claim is owed by the Company. On March 8, 1999, the Company, the Company's CEO and Chairman, the Company's Executive Vice President, and the Company's legal counsel were named as the defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Orange County, California by Horwitz & Beam, the attorneys which had represented CRYO-CELL in its suit against the University of Arizona et al. The plaintiff alleges breach of contract and seeks payment of $129,822 in allegedly unpaid fees and costs associated with the University of Arizona litigation. The plaintiff also asserts claims of misrepresentation. In reference to these misrepresentation claims, plaintiff has filed a Statement of Damages, which asserts $1,000,000 in general damages and $3,500,000 in punitive damages. Accordingly, on June 14, 1999, the Company filed: (1) an answer denying all liability; (2) a counterclaim for breach of contract and malpractice, seeking in excess of $1 million in compensatory damages arising from the malpractice; (3) a motion to dismiss the individual defendants for lack of jurisdiction; and (4) a motion to dismiss all punitive damages allegations 18 against the Company. On December 17, 1999, Judge Alicemarie H. Stotler of the United States District Court in the Central District of California, issued an Order in which she: (1) granted CRYO-CELL International, Inc.'s ("CRYO-CELL") Motion to Strike Punitive Damages and Dismiss Part of the Complaint; (2) granted Daniel Richard's, Mark Richard's and Gerald F. Maass' (the "Individual Defendants") Motion to Dismiss Complaint for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction; and (3) granted in part and denied in part Horwitz & Beam, Inc.'s ("H&B") Motion for Order Dismissing Counterclaim and/or Strike Portions Thereof. As discussed in more detail below, The net effect of this order was to reframe the Complaint as a fee dispute, as opposed to a multi-million dollar claim for fraud against CRYO-CELL and its corporate officers. By its order, the Court has barred recovery in this action against the Individual Defendants, and has reduced CRYO-CELL's exposure from over $3.5 million dollars to $129,822, plus a possible award of attorneys' fees. CRYO-CELL has established an escrow in the amount of $359,000 to cover the disputed legal fees ($129,822) and the 20% recovery of the Judgement against the University of Arizona and David Harris. The Company has requested the release of approximately $70,000 from escrow, which is the excess of 20% of the $800,000 actual settlement amount. The overage is a result of CRYO-CELL's settlement of the $1,170,000 original jury award. 19 ITEM 6.
