NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2010

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements including the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the related Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 have been prepared by Cryo-Cell International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company” or “Cryo-Cell”). 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 for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any interim period in the future or the entire year ending November 30, 2010.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Certain financial information and note disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s November 30, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue from processing and storage of specimens. The Company recognizes revenue from processing fees upon completion of processing and storage fees ratably over the contractual storage period, as well as, other income from royalties paid by licensees related to long term storage contracts which the Company has under license agreements. Contracted storage periods can range from one to twenty-one years. Deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheets includes the portion of the annual storage fee and the twenty-one year storage fee that is being recognized over the contractual storage period as well as royalties received from foreign licensees related to long-term storage contracts in which the Company has future obligations under the license agreement. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current if the Company expects to recognize the related revenue over the next 12 months. As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the current and long-term portion of deferred revenue is approximately $5,400,000 and $7,400,000, respectively. The Company also records revenue from shipping and handling billed to customers when earned. Shipping and handling costs that the Company incurs are expensed and included in cost of sales.

The Company has not had a third party conduct a physical inventory count of all specimens stored; however, the Company from time to time will perform a physical inventory count of specimens stored to ensure that all records are accurate.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance covering the deferred tax assets of the Company as of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, has been provided as the Company does not believe it is “more likely than not” that the future income tax benefits will be realized.

CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

February 28, 2010

(Unaudited)

The Company records foreign income taxes withheld from installment payments of non-refundable up-front license fees and royalty income earned on the processing and storage of cord blood stem cell specimens in geographic areas where the Company has license agreements. The Company recognized approximately $33,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of foreign income tax expense.

There was no U.S. income tax expense for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and for the same period in 2009. The Company did not record income tax expense during the first quarter of 2010 or 2009 due to the utilization of net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards, which were not previously benefited in the Company’s financial statements. It is managements’ current belief it is “more likely than not” that future tax benefits will not be realized and, as a result, no net deferred tax asset is reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Increases or decreases to the unrecognized tax benefits could result from management’s belief that a position can or cannot be sustained upon examination based on subsequent information or potential lapse of the applicable statute of limitation for certain tax positions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the Company had no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Stock Compensation

As of February 28, 2010, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described in Note 4. The Company recognized approximately $28,000 and $43,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively of stock compensation expense.

The Company recognizes stock based compensation based on the fair value of the related awards. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company estimates the fair value of all stock option awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management uses a fair value hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of financial instruments is estimated based on market trading information, where available. Absent published market values for an instrument or other assets, management uses observable market data to arrive at its estimates of fair value. Management believes that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and advances, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred consulting obligation and its liability associated with long term revenue sharing arrangements approximates fair value.

CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

February 28, 2010

(Unaudited)

The Company uses an accounting standard that defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount 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. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:


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

Level 2		Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2010, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy:


	Fair Value at February 28, 2010		Fair Value Measurements at February 28, 2010 Using
Description	Fair Value at February 28, 2010		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	1,146,404	$	6,404	$	1,140,000	—

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these items, as well as the general classification of such items pursuant to the fair value hierarchy:

Available-for-sale securities - the Company invested $1,140,000 and $960,000 in variable rate demand notes at February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, respectively. The interest rate on these variable rate demand notes resets every seven days to adjust to current market conditions. The Company can redeem these investments at cost at any time with seven days notice. Therefore, the investments are held at cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as short-term investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company further invests in exchange-traded equity securities of approximately $6,404 at February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009. Fair values for these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There was no unrealized holding loss recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity on other investments as of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009.

The Company is permitted to make an election to carry certain eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value, even if fair value measurement has not historically been required for such assets and liabilities under U.S. GAAP. The Company made no elections to record any such assets and or liabilities at fair value. Adjustments to the fair value in the Company’s marketable securities and other investments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Product Warranty and Cryo-Cell Cares^TM Program

In December 2005, the Company began providing its customers with a payment warranty under which the Company agrees to pay $50,000 to its client if the U-Cord® product retrieved is used for a stem cell transplant for the donor or an immediate family member and fails to engraft, subject to various restrictions. Additionally, under the Cryo-Cell Cares^TM program, the Company will pay $10,000 to the client to offset personal expenses if the U-Cord® product is used for bone marrow reconstitution in a myeloblative transplant procedure. The product warranty and the Cryo-Cell Cares program is available to the clients who enroll under this structure for as long as the specimen is stored with the Company. The Company has not experienced any claims under the warranty program nor has it incurred costs related to these warranties. The Company does not maintain insurance for this warranty program and therefore maintains reserves to cover our estimated potential liabilities. The Company’s reserve balance is based on the $50,000 maximum payment and the $10,000 maximum expense reimbursement multiplied by formulas to determine the projected number of units requiring a payout. The Company determined the estimated expected usage and engraftment failure rates based on an analysis of the historical usage and failure rates and the historical usage and failure rates in other private and public cord blood banks based on published data. The Company’s estimates of expected usage and engraftment failure could change as a result of changes in actual usage rates or failure rates and such changes would require an adjustment to the established reserves. The historical usage and failure rates have been very low and a small increase in the number of transplants or engraftment failures could cause a significant increase in the estimated rates used in determining our reserve. In addition, the reserve will increase as additional U-Cord® specimens are stored which are subject to the warranty. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company evaluated the product warranty assumptions and determined that based on new information related to the historical usage and failure rates the product warranty accrual needed to be reduced. This was accounted for as a change in estimate. As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the Company recorded reserves under these programs in the amounts of $10,395 and $9,979, respectively, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company has not determined if it will adopt this new update during fiscal year 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update may have on its consolidated financial statements upon its required adoption on December 1, 2010.

Note 2 - Net Income per Common Share

Net income per common share data is based on net income. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Earnings per share:
Basic	$	.03	$	.05

Diluted	$	.03	$	.05

The Company excluded the effect of 797,232 and 988,381 outstanding stock options for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively, from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of these potentially dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive.

Note 3 - Investment in Saneron CCEL Therapeutics, Inc. (“Saneron”)

As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the Company had an ownership interest of approximately 35% in Saneron, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. During 2006, the Company ceased recording equity in losses once the investment balance was written down to the total amount of goodwill, as goodwill should not be amortized. As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the net Saneron investment, which represents goodwill, is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at approximately $684,000. During 2009, the Company had an independent valuation performed on the Company’s interest in Saneron. Management believes that this valuation accurately reflects the fair value of the Company’s interest in Saneron as of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009 and that the goodwill was not impaired.

For the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Company recorded equity in losses of Saneron operations of approximately $17,000 and $32,000, respectively, related to certain stock and warrant awards that were granted by Saneron to certain employees, consultants and members of Saneron management who represent owners of Saneron and serve on its board of directors. The Company will continue to record equity in losses of affiliates related to stock compensation expense as this offsets additional paid-in capital and not the investment balance.

As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the Company has classified the Company’s portion of the value of Company stock held by Saneron of approximately $485,000 within stockholders’ equity as treasury stock.

In January 2008, the Company formalized a research and development agreement with Saneron to develop regenerative therapies utilizing Cryo-Cell’s C’elle menstrual stem cell technology. Cryo-Cell and Saneron collaborate on research in pre-clinical models for certain neurological diseases and disorders. Under terms of the agreement, the Company provides Saneron with menstrual stem cells along with proprietary methodology associated with the technology. Saneron provides study materials and develops research methodology for potential therapeutic applications associated with designated pre-clinical applications. Intellectual property resulting from this research collaboration will be jointly owned by the parties.

Note 4 - Stock Options

The Company maintains the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) that has reserved 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to stock options or restricted stock. During 2004, the Plan was amended to allow issuance of options to certain consultants of the Company. Options issued under the Plan have a term ranging from five to seven years from the date of grant and have a vesting period ranging from immediately upon issuance to three years from the date of grant. The options are exercisable for a period of 90 days after termination. As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, there were 758,254 and 958,752 shares outstanding under the 2000 plan, respectively. No further options will be issued under the plan.

The Company also maintains the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan has reserved 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, stock-appreciation rights (commonly referred to as “SARs”), stock awards (i.e. performance shares and performance units). As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, there were 414,079 and 237,728 shares outstanding under the 2006 plan, respectively. As of February 28, 2010, there were 585,921 shares available for future issuance under the 2006 plan.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected dividends is based on the historical trend of the Company not issuing dividends.

Variables used to determine the fair value of the options granted for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 are as follows:


	February 28, 2010		February 28, 2009

Licensee Income - Prior Periods

Sublicensee Income. The Company records processing and storage revenues for specimens received from sublicensees, which are processed, tested and stored in the Company’s facility in Oldsmar, Florida. Previously, the Company reflected payments for multi-year storage plans from the sublicensees as credits to accounts receivable. The Company revised the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended February 28, 2009, to reflect credits to accounts receivable of approximately $18,000 as accounts payable and credits to accounts receivable of approximately $520,000 as deferred revenue. This adjustment did not have an impact on net cash provided by operating activities, stockholders’ deficit, net income or net income per common share.

Licensee Income. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company identified errors in licensee income related to fiscal years 2008 and 2007 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2009. Management evaluated these errors and determined that the errors were not material to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended 2008 and 2007 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2009. The Company has revised the licensee income for the three months ended February 28, 2009 by approximately $18,000.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company reclassified licensee income from other income (expenses) to revenue in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009. Due to the recent increase in license agreement activity, the Company has determined that licensee income has become a significant source of its revenue and that it should be included within revenue on the consolidated statements of operations. This reclassification did not have an impact on stockholders’ deficit, net income or net income per common share.

Item 2.

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

Overview

The Company is engaged in cellular processing and cryogenic storage, with a current focus on the collection and preservation of umbilical cord (U-Cord®) blood stem cells for family use. The Company’s principal sources of revenues are service fees for cord blood processing and preservation for new customers and recurring annual storage fees. The Company currently charges fees of $1,595 to new clients for the collection kit, processing and testing and return medical courier service, with discounts in the case of multiple children from the same family and in other circumstances. The Company currently charges an annual storage fee of $125 for new clients; storage fees for existing customers depend on the contracts with such customers. The Company also offers a one-time payment plan, where the client is charged $3,495 with discounts in the case of multiple children from the same family and in other circumstances. The one-time plan includes the collection kit, processing and testing, return medical courier service and 21 years of pre-paid storage fees. The Company also receives revenue for processing and storage fees from certain licensees that ship specimens directly to the Company’s facility in Oldsmar, Florida for processing and storage. These processing and storage fees are at negotiated rates, as specified in the licensee agreements. The Company also receives other income from licensing fees and royalties from global affiliates.

In recent years, the Company has expanded its research and development activities to develop technologies related to stem cells harvested from sources beyond umbilical cord blood stem cells. During 2007, much of the Company’s research and development activities focused on the development of proprietary technology related to maternal placental stem cells (MPSCs). Also in 2006, the Company discovered novel technology related to menstrual stem cells. In November 2007, the Company announced the commercial launch of C’elle^SM service related to this patent-pending technology. The Company continues to focus independently-funded research and development activities through a vast network of research collaboration partners. The Company expects to place greater promotional emphasis on its C’elle service in the future and increase its marketing expenditures related to C’elle.

During the three months ended February 28, 2010, the Company’s revenues decreased 2% as compared to the same period in 2009. The Company reported net income of approximately $319,000, or $.03 per basic common share for the three months ended February 28, 2010 compared to net income of approximately $554,000 or $.05 per basic common share for the same period in 2009. The decrease in net income for the three months ended February 28, 2010 principally resulted from a 11% increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses, due mainly to the increase in sales and marketing initiatives, which is partially offset by a 2% decrease in cost of sales primarily due to a decline in the number of specimens processed and operational efficiencies in the processing and storage process. In addition, research and development expenses were approximately $52,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2010, an increase of approximately 103% in comparison to the same period in 2009. Research and development expenses in 2009 were primarily comprised of expenses related to the continued commercialization of the Company’s new stem cell technology, C’elle, which was launched in November 2007.

At February 28, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,566,159. The Company’s cash decreased by approximately $285,000 during the first three months of fiscal 2010, primarily as a result of cash used to purchase marketable securities in the amount of $190,000. As of April 14, 2010, the Company maintains no long-term indebtedness.

Results of Operations

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2010 were $4,236,861 as compared to $4,255,018 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a 2% decrease in processing and storage fees, which was partially offset by a 15% increase in licensee income.

Processing and Storage Fees. The decrease in processing and storage fee revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in specimens processed of 4%, in addition to an increase in sales discounts of 11% The decrease was partially offset by a 6% increase in recurring annual storage fee revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2010 compared to the 2009 period. Sales discounts represent discounts to returning clients and promotions offered to newly enrolled clients.

Licensee Income. Licensee income for the three months ended February 28, 2010, was $447,142 as compared to $390,061 for the 2009 period. Licensee income for the three months ended February 28, 2010 primarily consisted of $292,142 in royalty income earned on the processing and storage of cord blood stem cell specimens in geographic areas where the Company has license agreements. The remaining licensee income related to installment payments of non-refundable up-front license fees from the licensees of the Company’s U-Cord program in Chile, Colombia, Peru, Nicaragua and Pakistan. Licensee income for the three months ended February 28, 2009 consisted of $290,061 in royalty income earned on the processing and storage of specimens in geographical areas where the Company has license agreements. The remaining licensee income related to an installment payment of a non-refundable up-front license fee from the licensee of the Company’s U-Cord program in Venezuela.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $1,092,668 as compared to $1,109,690 for the same period in 2009, representing a 2% decrease. Cost of sales was 29% of processing and storage fee revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. Cost of sales includes wages and supplies associated with process enhancements to the existing production procedures and quality systems in the processing of cord blood specimens at the Company’s facility in Oldsmar, Florida and depreciation expense of approximately $72,000 and $71,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively. The decrease in cost of sales is primarily attributable to the decrease in operational expenses and the decrease in specimens processed during the three months ended February 28, 2010 compared to the 2009 period.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses. Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2010 were $2,320,944 as compared to $2,095,243 for the 2009 period representing an 11% increase. These expenses are primarily comprised of expenses for consumer advertising, salaries and wages for personnel and professional fees. The increase was primarily attributable to a 17% increase in sales and marketing expenses relating to consumer advertising.

Research, Development and Related Engineering Expenses. Research, development and related engineering expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2010 were $52,083 as compared to $25,640 for the three months ended February 28, 2009. The expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 are primarily comprised of expenses related to the continued commercialization of the Company’s new stem cell technology, C’elle, which was launched in November 2007.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and Amortization (not included in Cost of Sales) for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $73,739 compared to $100,299 for the 2009 period. The decrease was caused by a portion of the Company’s property and equipment becoming fully depreciated during fiscal 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense during the three months ended February 28, 2010, was $334,121 compared to $324,241 during the comparable period in 2009. Interest expense is mainly comprised of payments made to the other parties to the Company’s revenue sharing agreements (“RSAs”) based on the Company’s storage revenue. Also included in interest expense is the amortization of the present value of a deferred consulting agreement in the amount of $4,471 and $6,039 for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Equity in Losses of Affiliate. Equity in losses of affiliate was $16,941 for the three months ended February 28, 2010, compared to $31,867 for the 2009 period. Equity in losses of affiliate for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, solely consists of amounts related to compensation expense for stock option awards that were granted by Saneron to certain consultants and employees.

Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future taxable income prior to the expiration of the tax attributes. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we must project future levels of taxable income. This assessment requires significant judgment. We examine the evidence related to the recent history of tax losses, the economic conditions which we operate and our forecasts and projections to make that determination.

The Company records foreign income taxes withheld from installment payments of non-refundable up-front license fees and royalty income earned on the processing and storage of cord blood stem cell specimens in geographic areas where the Company has license agreements. The Company recorded approximately $33,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of foreign income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Through February 28, 2010, the Company’s principal source of cash has been from sales of its U-Cord® program to customers, the sale of license agreements and proceeds from licensees. Currently, the Company’s cash flow is derived primarily from sales relating to its storage services, including the initial fee and ongoing storage fees, as well as licensee income. The Company does not expect a change in its principal source of cash flow.

At February 28, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,566,159 as compared to $6,850,765 at November 30, 2009. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended February 28, 2010 was primarily attributable to the following:

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $62,063, which was primarily attributable to the $100,000 payment to MOSI for the sponsorship of a stem cell exhibit in “The Amazing You” exhibition in Tampa, Florida.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended February 28, 2009 was $1,053,666, which was primarily attributable to the Company’s operating activities, including the receipt of the second $100,000 installment payment from the sale of the Cryo-Cell de Venezuela licensee agreement, the timing of payments for accrued expenses and the collection of accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $222,543, which was primarily attributable to the purchase of marketable securities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2009 was $61,594, which was attributable to the costs associated with the application and development of patents.

There was no cash provided by or used in financing activities during the first three months of fiscal 2010 and 2009.

The Company does not have a line of credit or other type of financing instrument. The Company owes the remaining balance of $184,224 to be paid to Red Rock for the acquisition of Safti-Cell, which is secured by the assets purchased by the Company. The balance is to be paid in quarterly installments of principal and interest of $95,388 during fiscal 2010.

The Company anticipates making non-discretionary capital expenditures of approximately $500,000 over the next twelve months. The Company anticipates funding future property and equipment purchases with cash-on-hand and cash flows from future operations.

The Company anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to fund its known cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Cash flows from operations will depend primarily upon increasing revenues from sales of its umbilical cord blood cellular storage services and the C’elle service, and controlling expenses. If expected increases

in revenues are not realized, or if expenses are higher than anticipated, the Company may be required to reduce or defer cash expenditures or otherwise manage its cash resources during the next 12 months so that they are sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs for that period. In addition, the Company may consider seeking equity or debt financing if deemed appropriate for its plan of operations, and if such financing can be obtained on acceptable terms. There is no assurance that the reductions in expenditures, if necessary, will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s business operations, including sales activities and the development of new services and technology.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. We have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue from processing and storage of specimens. The Company recognizes revenue from processing fees upon completion of processing and cellular storage fees ratably over the contractual storage period, as well as, other income from royalties paid by licensees related to long term storage contracts which the Company has under license agreements. Deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheets includes the portion of the annual storage fee and the twenty-one year storage fee that is being recognized over the contractual storage period as well as royalties received from foreign licensees related to long-term storage contracts in which the Company has future obligations under the license agreement. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current if the Company expects to recognize the related revenue over the next 12 months. As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the current and long-term portion of deferred revenue is approximately $5,400,000 and $7,400,000, respectively. The Company also records revenue from shipping and handling billed to customers when earned. Shipping and handling costs that the Company incurs are expensed and included in cost of sales.

License and Royalty Agreements

The Company has entered into licensing agreements with certain investors in various international markets in an attempt to capitalize on the Company’s technology. The investors typically pay a licensing fee to receive Company marketing programs, technology and know-how in a selected area. The investor may be given a right to sell sub-license agreements as well. As part of the accounting for the up-front license revenue, revenue from the up-front license fee is recognized based on such factors as when the payment is due, collectibility and when all material services or conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed based on the terms of the agreement. The Company has seventeen active licensing agreements. The following areas each have one license agreement: Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Panama, Honduras, Venezuela, China, Pakistan, Chile, Colombia and Peru. The following areas each have two license agreements: China and Germany.

In addition to the license fee, the Company earns royalties on subsequent processing and storage revenues received by the licensee in the selected area and a fee on any sub-license agreements that are sold by the licensee where applicable. The Company also processes and stores specimens sent directly from customers of sub-licensees in Mexico, Central America, Ecuador, Pakistan and Venezuela. These fees are included in processing and storage fees on the consolidated statements of operations. As part of the accounting for licensee income, the Company uses estimates and judgments based on historical processing and storage volume in determining the timing and amount of licensee income to recognize. The Company periodically reviews license and royalty receivables for collectibility and, if necessary, will record an expense for an allowance for uncollectible accounts. If the financial condition of the Company’s licensees and sub-licensees were to deteriorate beyond the estimates, the Company may have to increase the allowance for doubtful accounts which could have a negative impact on earnings. If the licensee’s customer base were to decrease, it would negatively impact the Company’s ongoing license income.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of the amounts due from clients that have enrolled and processed in the U-Cord® processing and storage program and amounts due from licensee affiliates and do not require collateral. Accounts receivable due from clients are due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from clients net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations. Therefore, if the financial condition of the Company’s clients were to deteriorate beyond the estimates, the Company may have to increase the allowance for doubtful accounts which could have a negative impact on earnings. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Income Taxes

The Company records foreign income taxes withheld from installment payments of non-refundable up-front license fees and royalty income earned on the processing and storage of cord blood stem cell specimens in geographic areas where the Company has license agreements. The Company recorded approximately $33,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of foreign income tax expense.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009 the Company had no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Investment in Saneron

The Company made a significant investment in an entity that is involved in the area of stem cell research. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method, and reviews annually to determine if an other than temporary impairment exists. The Company previously recorded equity in losses of affiliate until the investment balance was zero and only goodwill remained. The investment is reviewed annually to determine if an other than temporary impairment exists. The Company does not believe that an impairment exists as of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009. If actual future results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and estimates, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future which could have a negative impact on earnings.

Patents

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. If a future economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or an alternate future use is available to the Company, such costs are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit involves considerable management judgment. A different conclusion could result in the reduction of the carrying value of these assets.

Patent costs are capitalized on the date that the utility patent was filed and are amortized over a period of 20 years. Capitalized patent costs, net of accumulated amortization, as of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009 are $409,248 and $401,206, respectively, and are included in deposits and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense was approximately $6,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively, and is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Sharing Agreements

The Company has entered into revenue sharing agreements (“RSAs”) with various parties whereby these parties contracted with the Company for a percentage of future storage revenues the Company generates from clients in specific geographical areas. The RSAs have no definitive term or termination provisions. The sharing applies to the storage fees for all specified specimens in the area up to the number covered in the contract. When the number of specimens is filled, any additional specimens stored in that area are not subject to revenue sharing. As there are empty spaces resulting from attrition, the Company agrees to fill them as soon as possible. The parties typically pay the Company a non-refundable up-front fee for the rights to these future payments. The Company had recognized these non-refundable fees as a long-term liability. Given the criteria under which these RSAs are established, cash payments on these contracts can fluctuate from period to period. All payments made to the other parties to the RSAs are recognized as interest expense. At such time as the total payments can be determined, the Company will commence amortizing these liabilities under the effective interest method. The Company does not intend to enter into additional RSAs.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their most recent review, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are ineffective to ensure that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As previously disclosed in our Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2010, during the November 30, 2009, year end closing process, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were not effective, due to a material weakness surrounding the estimated accrual of processing and storage royalties earned from licensees and the deferral of the long-term storage royalties.

Prior to the identification of such material weakness, management had already undertaken, or was in the process of undertaking, a number of steps to design and implement more effective internal controls, including:

•

Restructuring the Company’s licensee agreements to work directly with each licensee;

•

Adding staffing resources with the primary responsibility being the licensee affiliates;

•

Refining the estimate of licensee income going forward.

The changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described in the previous paragraph were implemented prior to the Company reporting its results for the quarter ended February 28, 2010 and as a result of such changes we believe we have remediated the material weakness described above, however the new controls have not been operating for a long enough period of time to conclude that the Company’s disclosure controls are effective. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
