CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Consolidated Financial Statements including the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of August 31, 1997, Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the nine months ended August 31, 1997 and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
for the nine months ended August 31, 1997 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 August 31, 1997 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, 1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.
NOTE 2 INVESTMENT EQUITY IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE, SALE OF STOCK
In May, 1997, the Company received $163,996 from the sale of 55,000
shares of Net/Tech International common stock. In August, 1997, the Company
received $89,741 from the sale of 33,000 shares of Net/Tech International common
stock. This sale brought the Company's remaining holdings of Net/Tech stock to
1,949,929 shares. Under the equity method of accounting, these shares are valued
on CRYO-CELL's balance sheet at $440,442 as of August 31, 1997. (If these same
shares were valued at the closing market price of Net/Tech's stock on August 31,
1997, the market capitalization of CRYO-CELL's holdings would be $5,606,045.
Net/Tech's stock trades on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board (Symbol N T T I).)
NOTE 3 LINE OF CREDIT
In August, 1997, the Company finalized a $1,000,000 line of credit from
NationsBank of Clearwater. The terms of the one year line of credit include a 1%
placement fee ($10,000) and one point above prime interest rate. The loan is
collateralized by shares of the Company's stock pledged by a group of existing
shareholders. At the balance sheet date of August 31, 1997, the outstanding loan
balance was $620,000. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company paid off
the Line in its entirety leaving a zero balance. At the date of this report, the
Company has no debt outstanding. The Company still retains the $1 million Line
of Credit.
NOTE 4 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
In May, 1997, the Company received $540,000 from the sale of options
(at $1 for each optioned share) to purchase 540,000 shares of its common stock
at $6.00 per share. These options are valid for a period of five years. Exercise
of these options can result in a cash infusion to the Company of between
$2,280,000 and $3,780,000 depending on the price of the stock at the time of
exercise (which includes the original $540,000 option purchase price). Stock
issued will be subject to Rule 144 restrictions.
In August, 1997, in connection with the Bank Line of Credit which is
described above, the group of shareholders who pledged stock as collateral
received 17,500 shares in return for their assistance.

NOTE 5 REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENTS
VISCOUNT SECURITIES, LTD.
In the first fiscal quarter, the Company signed an agreement for the
sale of two Single Unit Revenue Sharing Agreements for $2,000,000 to an
associate firm of Sachem Corporate Finance, Ltd., (hereafter referred to as
Viscount Securities, Ltd.). The agreement covered revenue sharing in two units
to be located in CRYO-CELL Lifespan/SM/ sites in the U.S. Revenue of $400,000
was recognized in the quarter ending February 28, 1997, reflecting a
non-refundable deposit paid to CRYO-CELL in the form of 100,000 shares of a
NASDAQ small cap stock.
The $1.6 million cash balance was due in full by May 31, 1997. It was
not received at that time because of on-going, expanded negotiations which
caused the due date to be extended by the Company. The negotiations with
Viscount for revenue sharing partnerships cover five countries in South America.
These South American countries would include Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay,
and Uruguay.
If the entire $2,000,000 is received in a time frame satisfactory to
the Company, CRYO-CELL has granted Viscount the right to purchase an additional
three Single Unit Revenue Sharing Agreements for $3,000,000. These must be
outside the U.S. and could include Australia, where CRYO-CELL has recently
received a patent for its cellular storage technology.
Viscount, which is headquartered in London, England, will be granted a
10% management equity position in CRYO-CELL's planned European operation only if
the full $2,000,000 payment has been made.

CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
CRYO-CELL International, Inc., ("the Company"), a Delaware corporation
incorporated in 1989, is engaged in cellular storage and the design and
development of storage devices for use in its cellular storage programs. While
the Company's patented cellular storage unit is capable of multi-faceted
storage, the company has targeted the cryopreservation of umbilical/placental
cord blood stem cells as its initial entry into the cellular storage market.
Additionally, the Company is currently investigating several opportunities for
other types of cellular storage.
A key factor of the Company's business strategy is its Lifespan/SM/
Cellular Storage Program. This program establishes a network of Lifespan/SM/
Centers through partnerships with hospitals and medical centers. Under this
program, the stem cells are stored at the participating hospital. Recently, the
Company has succeeded in combining the Lifespan/SM/ Cellular Storage Program
with its Revenue Sharing Program. The combined programs entitle the partnering
hospital or medical center to receive an additional portion of their
Lifespan/SM/ center's annual storage revenue.
In these instances, the Company could gain significant marketing
support from a partnered hospital or medical center as they educate their
patients on the potential life-saving benefits of umbilical cord blood stem cell
storage. If a hospital or medical center, under the Revenue Sharing Program, has
now invested any of its own funds in the program, the Company believes this
combined effort has the potential to accelerate the storage of cellular
specimens.
In September, 1997, the Company occupied its new, free-standing
headquarters building containing 7,500 square feet which are under a seven year
lease. The new facility includes a complete state-of-the-art laboratory for the
processing and cryopreservation of multi-faceted cellular specimens. This
facility contains executive offices and will also be utilized as a conference
center and training facility to be used for visitors from both domestic and
international laboratories. Expenditures for the facility thus far in this
fiscal year as of the date of this report are approximately $425,000.
This facility will enable the Company to offer its partnering hospitals
the ability to benefit without having to invest in the cost of building and
operating a lab. In addition, it can give the Company the additional profit
source from processing the umbilical stem cells to prepare them for storage. The
Company's program for developing innovative storage technology continues to
progress. Expenditures related to this technology development including
Underwriters' Laboratories application thus far in the fiscal year as of the
report date are approximately $275,000.
The Company believes that to bring its outstanding development projects
to completion will require approximately $500,000.
The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition
and results of operations of the Company for the quarter August 31, 1997 as
compared to the same period of the prior year as well as the year-to-date period
compared to the same period of the prior year.
GENERAL
In addition to the opening of its own processing and cryopreservation
facility, the Company continued to expand its Lifespan/SM/ Cellular Storage
Program. In September, 1997, the Company signed an agreement with Washington
Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., serving the greater metropolitan Washington
area, including suburban Virginia and Maryland. The number of births in this
area exceeds 60,000 annually.
9
Tenet Healthcare Corp., the second largest hospital system in the U.S.
which operates over 120 hospitals, has agreed to participate as a Lifespan/SM/
Center and a Single-Unit Revenue Sharing Partner. Tenet is expanding its lab
facilities to implement the CRYO-CELL Lifespan/SM/ Program. The first facility
is expected to be opened for processing in December 1997 at Tenet's St.
Vincent's Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts. This program establishes a
processing and storage facility as a means of supporting the cryopreservation of
umbilical cord blood (U-cord/TM/) stem cells for the possible future medical
benefit of newborn babies and their siblings.
Revenue Sharing Agreements can take considerable time to negotiate and
come to fruition. Moreover, since such agreements can involve millions of
dollars, there can be wide swings in revenue and earnings from quarter to
quarter and possibly year-to-year.
INVESTMENT EQUITY IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE
CRYO-CELL owned 29% of Net/Tech International, Inc., at quarter end
(See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for CRYO-CELL
holdings). Net/Tech International, Inc.'s core technology is the patented
Hygiene Guard Hand Washing Monitoring System. The Hygiene Guard is an
innovative, potentially life saving technology used to monitor employee hand
washing at any hand washing station. The system can be utilized in the food
service, food processing, health care and child care industries as well as any
environment where hygiene and control of the spread of infectious disease is a
priority.
In August, Net/Tech International, a CRYO-CELL affiliate, installed the
Hygiene Guard System at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City as the
first end user Beta Test Site. Net/Tech is scheduled to install the Hygiene
Guard System at the William Beaumont U.S. Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas,
in November of this year.
Net/Tech has received tremendous interest from potential End Users and
Distributor/Joint Venture Partners throughout the U.S. and internationally.
The Company carries its investment in Net/Tech under the Equity Method
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Under the equity
method of accounting, these shares are valued on CRYO-CELL's balance sheet at
$440,442 as of August 31, 1997. If these same shares were valued at the closing
market price of Net/Tech's stock on August 31, 1997, the market capitalization
of CRYO-CELL's holdings would be $5,606,045. Since the end of fiscal 1995, the
Company has systematically reduced its holdings in Net/Tech from 42% to the
current level of 29%. When the Company's holdings of Net/Tech are less than 20%,
they would be valued at fair market value in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
MANAGEMENT
In early September, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of
William C. Hardy as President, Chief Operating Officer and member of the Board
of Directors and the resignation of Leonard Green as a menber of the Board. Mr.
Hardy's duties are being handled by the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Daniel D.
Richard, founder of the Company. The Company is in the process of hiring a new
executive management team.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES. Revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 1997 were $7,425 as compared
to $201,096 in the quarter ended August 31 of the prior year. Revenues for the
nine months ended August 31, 1997 were $417,575 as compared to $2,201,096 for
the same period of the prior year. The decrease in both comparisons reflects a
lower level of Revenue Sharing Agreements which were brought to fruition during
the current year.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses during the quarter ended August 31, 1997 were $373,026
as compared to $349,938 for the quarter ended August 31 of
10
the prior year. Selling, general and administrative costs year-to-date were
$1,225,063 compared to $1,119,062 for the period of the prior year. The increase
reflects the expanded staffing needs as the Company services new centers coming
on stream as well as the opening of its own processing and storage site.
GAIN ON SALE OF UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE STOCK. During the quarter ended August
31, 1997, the Company realized a gain of $88,421 from the sale of 33,000 shares
of Net/Tech International common stock. This sale brought the Company's
remaining holdings of Net/Tech stock to 1,949,929 shares. For the nine months
ended August 31, 1997, the Company has realized a gain of $250,671 from the sale
of 88,000 shares of its Net/Tech holdings compared to a gain of $150,000 for the
same period of the prior year.
NET LOSS. The Company's net loss for the quarter ended May 31, 1997 was $365,611
as compared to a net loss of $213,191 during the same period of the prior year.
For the nine months ended August 31, 1997, the Company had a net loss of
$767,676 as compared to net income of $974,233 for the same period of the prior
year. The change in earnings for both comparison periods reflects the lower
level of Revenue Sharing Agreements brought to fruition during the current
periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At August 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$1,336,503 as compared to $1,079,531 at November 30, 1996, the end of the
Company's last fiscal year.
For the nine month period ending August 31, 1997, operating activities
consumed $327,887 reflecting the net loss partially offset by a reduction in
working capital (the primary component of which included payment in full from
OrNda of their outstanding receivable of $666,667 from the prior year end; the
Company has since been notified that Tenet HealthSystem, which acquired OrNda,
is honoring that Revenue Sharing Agreement). Investing activities during the
same nine month period consumed $695,828, of which the significant items were
equipment and leasehold improvements for the Company's new processing and
storage laboratory and headquarters as well as its cellular storage systems.
Financing activities during the nine month period ended August 31, 1997
contributed cash of $1,280,957, the significant elements of which were the
borrowing of $620,000 under the Bank Line of Credit (see Note 3 of the Notes to
Financial Statements) and the sale of options (see Note 4 of the Notes to
Financial Statements). Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company paid
off the entire outstanding balance on the line. At the date of this report, the
Company has no debt outstanding. However, the Company still retains the $1
million Line of Credit.
The Company anticipates that cash reserves plus cash flows from
operations and financing activities will be sufficient to fund its operations
and growth during the balance of its current fiscal year. Cash requirements for
the next fiscal year could be met through the sale of Revenue Sharing Agreements
which are currently being negotiated.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In July, 1996, CRYO-CELL filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of
California claiming that the University of Arizona and other defendants had
breached their contract, misappropriated trade secrets and other allegations.
The University filed a motion attempting to get the Lawsuit dismissed in
California which the Court disallowed. CRYO-CELL believes its suit has merit and
the allegations can be proven.
On March 28, 1997, approximately eight months after CRYO-CELL filed its
suit, the Company was informed that the University of Arizona had filed a cross
claim to the CRYO-CELL lawsuit stating that CRYO-CELL had breached the contract
and had intentionally misled the University. CRYO-CELL believes there is no
merit to these allegations and that the belated cross claim is part of the
strategy by the University to motivate CRYO-CELL to settle the case.
The litigation is proceeding.
