ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

On March 28, 1997 Daniel D. Richard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
CRYO-CELL International, Inc., announced that the Company has been informed that
the University of Arizona has filed a cross claim to the CRYO-CELL lawsuit filed
against the University and other defendants.

In July, 1996, CRYO-CELL filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California
claiming that the University 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 has
now been informed that the University has countered with a cross claim 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 a strategy by the University to motivate
CRYO-CELL to settle the case.
