In the interview, Mr. Schissler says:

• The acquisition announced in Germany is an anchor for business expansion throughout Europe through the use of affiliates.
• The Company is on-track, with its partner AXM Pharma, to open the world's largest stem cell storage and processing facility in China by January 2011.  The model is to develop a "cellular pharmacy" at which stem cells will be used in the future to create pharmaceuticals.
• Due diligence continues on the purchase of a large stem cell company headquartered in Argentina with affiliates throughout South America.  
• All the Company's umbilical cord blood stem cells have been transferred and are now housed at its Las Vegas facility.
