CRYO-CELL's Monthly U-Cord(TM) Stem Cell Preservation Sales Highest In Company's History CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Wanda D. Dearth, President and Chief Operating Officer of CRYO-CELL International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCEL), announced today that the Company concluded its fiscal third quarter by achieving its ninth consecutive record month for sales of its umbilical cord blood (U-Cord)(TM) preservation program. (Photo: newscom.com Highlights for August 2001 include: * Client enrollments increased more than 25% over July with almost 2,000 collection kits being sold. The Company processed more than 1,500 cord blood samples during August, representing a 20% increase over July. * August sales from the U-Cord(TM) program were $540,370, representing a 21% increase over July 2001 sales and a 163% increase over August 2000 sales of $205,172. * Fiscal 3rd quarter 2001 sales of $1,414,442 compare to FY 2000 3rd quarter sales of $554,628, a 155% increase. * Year to date sales are $4,046,931 compared to $1,500,269 for the same nine-month period during 2000, representing a 170% year-to-year increase. YTD 2001 revenues include $750,000 from the sale of a Revenue Sharing Agreement during May; discounting this impact, YTD sales from the U-Cord program increased 120% on a year-to-year basis. Ms. Dearth commented, "The strong sales results during August have positioned the Company well for a profitable third quarter and we are pleased with the momentum the business is carrying into the fourth quarter." CRYO-CELL will timely file its third quarter report by October 15, 2001. According to Daniel Richard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CRYO-CELL, the above sales do not include "Other Income" from the Company's international license fees from Europe, Mexico/Central America and Israel/Middle East. In addition to these fees, the Company is currently receiving on-going entitlements from the operations of CRYO-CELL Europe. These entitlements will be received and also reported as other income during the third quarter 2001." CRYO-CELL is America's fastest growing and largest exclusive, private U-Cord stem cell preservation firm. The Company pioneered affordable cord blood stem cell storage. Its initial fees are 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of many of its major competitors, and its $50 annual fee is fixed for specimens already in storage. CRYO-CELL's high quality and affordability are a few of the reasons why approximately 17,250 OB/GYNs and medical caregivers have supported their patients' decisions to preserve their newborns' U-Cord stem cells in the CRYO-CELL program.
