Cord Blood America CEO Matthew Schissler In Investor Presentation Says CBAI Is A Leader Among Micro-Cap Stem Cell Companies In Financial Performance

LOS ANGELES, and LAS VEGAS, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cord Blood America, Inc. Chairman and CEO Matthew L. Schissler will be presenting on Tuesday, October 3, 2006, at the Fall 2006 Global Equities Conference and will highlight Cord Blood America as a leader among micro-cap stem cell companies in almost every financial performance measurement. Cord Blood America is the umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation company, focused on bringing the life saving potential of stem cells to families nationwide.

"CBAI outperforms micro-cap stem cell companies in almost every key financial statistic commonly analyzed by Wall Street. Yet our share price and market cap has not caught up to these other statistics, which is a key indicator to us that we need to do a better job of telling our story. The presentation in Las Vegas is a first key step in re-engaging the market with CBAI successes."

Mr. Schissler will also speak about significant growth indicators for this industry. "With less than five percent current market penetration among the four million births annually in the U.S., enormous opportunities exist for growth," Mr. Schissler will say. He will tell the Las Vegas investment audience that it is estimated that this will be a $1 billion market by 2010.

Cord Blood America's CEO will also discuss the best strategy for growth, which he believes is accretive acquisitions, since there are currently 26 companies collecting umbilical cord blood.

"Cord Blood America is the top performer in 11 of 14 key financial categories analyzed in our upcoming presentation, and we will strongly emphasize to these potential investors the history of revenue growth and liquidity at our Company," Mr. Schissler said. "Future additional acquisitions by Cord Blood America may allow for strong stock uplift and a market cap increase." The presentation will be available beginning approximately 12 Noon Pacific at www.cordblood-america.com on Tuesday, October 3.

Cord Blood America's CEO will present at 10:40 a.m. Pacific on October 3, at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. The conference is sponsored by Friedland Investment Events, the world's largest sponsor of financial and investment conferences.
