"We said going into this year that reducing debt, and subsequently strengthening our balance sheet, would be a very high priority," said Matthew Schissler, co-founder and CEO. "With more than $10 million in debt retired, we succeeded in this goal and are very pleased to make this announcement to our shareholders."
Cord Blood America recently announced a grand opening of its stem cell laboratory and headquarters in Las Vegas on January 22, 2010. "We can salute this financial achievement as we open perhaps the largest cryogenic storage facility in the U.S.," Mr. Schissler said.
