Unfortunately not. I was hoping that they may be an M&A target of someone...maybe Cord Blood America CBAI, they seem to be signing many deals lately.
No news that I'm aware of. When I look back, there has never been any PR's that I can find, yet the stock has large swings. Do you know anything about it?
Any news ? Why is the volume on this so low....
Hold on, there may be news yet to come. Just keep it in your arsenal. I don't own but am still considering.
another one of those 'what was I thinking'
Thank you for that.
The TA wouldnt say about Restricted and he said they wont be reporting.
Did they say anything about the restricted shares? And why that status if its true?
TIA Locks.

"The Associated Press
Wednesday, January 31, 2007; 4:46 PM
NEW YORK -- Frances Verter's first child Shai died before reaching her fifth birthday following a lifelong fight with cancer. When her second and third children were born, Verter decided to collect and store the blood from their umbilical cords, an option increasingly being presented to expecting parents around the nation.
"I decided to bank the cord blood because I knew it could be used for transplants and had experienced firsthand how hard it can be to find a matching donor," Verter wrote on a Web site that she runs as a guide for parents.

Cord blood is a rich source of stem cells, the building blocks that produce blood and can be transformed into other cell types. The growing number of parents who bank their children's cord blood believe it is a form of biological insurance.
"I didn't expect to have another child with cancer, but I wanted to give my children every possible form of health insurance," wrote Verter, who lives near Brookeville, Md.
Cord blood banks, particularly private ones that allow parents to store it for family members, are a growing industry, hoping to take advantage of legislation to promote cord blood donations. There are now 10 states that have passed laws either encouraging or mandating that physicians inform parents of the option. Another 12 are expected to consider legislation this year.
But public health officials argue the chances that a child or family member will need the blood is minuscule. Instead, they encourage prospective parents to donate cord blood to public banks to make it available to all patients who need it.
"Private cord blood banks target parents at an emotionally vulnerable time when the reality is most conditions that might be helped by cord blood stem cells already exist in the infant's cord blood," the American Academy of Pediatrics said in a statement in early January.
The private banks disagree, seeing a need for their services.
"We consider this a very important decision to be made by parents," said Fred Fitzsimmons of ViviCells International LLC, which operates its cord blood subsidiary as NeoCells LLC. "You can see where there is ample room for growth as we begin to discover more abnormalities that are treatable."
Other companies in the sector include privately held Cord Blood Registry and AlphaCord Inc. Public companies include Cryo-Cell International, ViaCell Inc., LifeBank USA, which is owned by Celgene, and Cord Partners, owned by Cord Blood America."

Honestly, it's so early to say one way or the other based on the current information we're pondering. Having said that, it has all the symptoms of the obvious.
I think we know it's quite common to outsource storage while the bricks and mortar simply sell contracts and manage client logistics and basic marketing. Could be a handful of contracts here ... not to mention any local brand equity (market share) they have in addition to being right here in the US.
Again, it's early, but I like the idea.
Let me remind you guys. CBAI is looking to acquire companies that are underfunded or in financial distress. I don't see any evidence this company has it's own storage facility. And with no filings for a long time you have to wonder if they can't afford auditors. It happens all the time. Good luck.
Yes, I'm thinking it's pretty low too. Google shows over 300M but that's nothing at this price.
-----------------------------------
It just seems like this thing moves on 45,000 shares, that's a petty $450-ish. Someone bought a bunch yesterday and sold 90,000 today for a small profit, would be my guess.
I know pinksheets.com says don't go there but the stock IS active, even if just mild. Also seems like it's at it's 52 week low right now? Very smoky in here, can't see a thing.
I'm going to check activity tomorrow on the L2 and see how many MM's are around.
No one knows, it hasn't been updated in a while. But VCII is a solid company, they premiered two subsidaries a few years ago. Since then they've been featured in "Baby" and "Pregnancy" magazines. I do know they were looking into a merger with Bio-Matrix Scientific Group. They entered into a LOI for storage services provided by Bio-Matrix and for Vivicells to store.

Check the iHub board, it has better info than that website. However, look at the last acquisition the other cord blood company and how well it benefited the company. It did good. Perhaps the share count is very low.
Anyone buying over here? I'm seeing different numbers on the O/S.
Does anyone know if 334.86M is correct?
TIA

NeoCells Affordable Cord Blood Banking As Seen In... | |||||||||||||||
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
1. What is unique about NeoCells?
NeoCells is “America’s high quality yet affordable umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation company.” We have the most reasonable and affordable price, while providing the same quality assurance and the same rigorous scientific and regulatory laboratory controls and service as the considerably higher priced cord blood preservation companies. NeoCells and ViviCells, its parent company, is committed to the belief that cord blood stem cell preservation technology should be made available at an affordable cost to as many families as possible – not just to those for whom price is no deterrent. Unfortunately, many families who would like to have access to this service and who need this service cannot afford the prices of other high-cost private cord blood banks. NeoCells carefully controls its costs, and unlike the high-priced cord blood banks does not add in an unfair high profit margin, and does not inflate its price only to later offer discounts, client gifts and inducements to purchase in an effort to make a high price appear more palatable. NeoCells sets an affordable price and relies on volume due to the company’s exponential growth. NeoCells also distinguishes itself from most cord blood banking companies by using state-of-the-art processing and cryogenic freezing and storage technology which includes the AXP AutoXpress Platform and the Sepax Processing System which are functionally closed bag stem cell processing systems. These are the methods recommended by the FDA and the AABB due to research which has shown higher total mononuclear cell recovery averages* and higher yields for viable CD34+ cells. (*Averages range from 87%-97% vs. alternative manual methods which yield only 40%-80%). NeoCells further believes the decision to select the cord blood preservation company they would like to store their newborn’s stem cells with should rest with the child’s parents. As such, NeoCells also differs markedly from some of the other cord blood companies in that NeoCells does not make a practice of paying physicians and other health care providers to recommend the NeoCells cord blood preservation services.
AdultCells is America’s first commercial autologous (self donated for self use) adult peripheral blood stem cell collection and preservation company to offer a conventional natural and convenient adult peripheral blood stem cell collection, process and preservation service on the national level. Thanks to our proprietary technology, AdultCells makes pre-disease stem cell collection for healthy adults easy, safe and affordable for everyone.

ViviCells International, LLC Launches the Nation's First and Only Comprehensive Family Stem Cell Bank
ViviCells International, LLC announces the launch of its two subsidiary companies, NeoCells, LLC and AdultCells, LLC . This makes it the nation's first and only family stem cell bank. AdultCells, with its proprietary technology is the first company to collect and store stem cells from adult peripheral blood for people who have missed the opportunity to harvest their umbilical cord stem cells. NeoCells, focusing on umbilical cord blood collection and cryopreservation is the country's most affordable cord blood preservation company.
Evanston, Illinois (PRWEB) May 24, 2006 -– ViviCells International, LLC announces the launch of its two subsidiary companies, NeoCells, LLC and AdultCells, LLC, making it America's premier and only comprehensive national family stem cell bank. AdultCells, with its proprietary technology is the first and only company to collect and store stem cells using convenient and natural means from adult peripheral blood for people who have missed the opportunity to harvest their umbilical cord stem cells. NeoCells, focusing on umbilical cord blood collection and cryopreservation is the country's most affordable cord blood preservation company.
CEO and founder, Fred Fitzsimmons states, "The launching of NeoCells and AdultCells is groundbreaking innovation that will allow families to store their newborn's umbilical cord blood stem cells as well as their own healthy adult blood stem cells for future use, and do so at an affordable cost."
Scientific Directors, Anver Kuliev, M.D., PhD and Gennady Tsukerman, M.D., PhD are leading the way with their proprietary technology that will allow the reprogramming of cells extracted from the blood to potentially be used to treat diseases in the future. "We are excited to see that stem technology has already been made available for treatment of severe congenital bone marrow failures and we may expect stem cell technology's wider practical applications in the near future," says Dr. Kuliev, the former head of the World Health Organization Genetics Program, who is currently operating the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for the Prevention of Genetic Disorders.
Stem cell therapy is a rapidly growing industry and umbilical cord blood collection and storage has been available commercially to the public since 1992. Presently, there are dozens of different disorders that are being treated with stem cell therapy and several others are already in phase II and phase III clinical trials in the U.S. These include current research on heart disease, stroke, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, Lupus and many more.
Julianne Hearst, one of NeoCells' first clients explains, "I feel a sense of assurance knowing that my child's stem cells have been collected and cryopreserved. I hope that we won't need to use them in the future, but we can be confident that they will be available in the future should the need arise. I've been so satisfied with the NeoCells service and affordable price that my husband and I are now planning on using AdultCells to collect and store our own adult peripheral blood stem cells."
