Joseph Vicente, President of Cord Blood America, Inc. commented "We continue to focus on driving profitability in our core business while assessing an increasingly competitive landscape for additional revenue opportunities that will leverage our existing infrastructure. We believe our ability to generate cash will provide us the flexibility to react quickly to a very dynamic marketplace and achieve long term growth. Over the past eight quarters, the Company has reduced operating expenses, ended investment in its unconsolidated affiliates and received no additional funding from outside sources for working capital. The Company plans to continue to operate on its cash flows from operations in which we generated over $220,000 in the first quarter and have increased our cash balance over the past eight quarters by over 300% to over $800,000."
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, total revenue decreased 3% to $1.42 million from $1.45 million in the same period of 2013.  Recurring revenues increased approximately 11% while processing fees decreased approximately 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 versus the prior comparative period of 2013. Per segment, Cord had a decrease of its total revenues of 2%, and Bio decreased its revenues 4% over the same period ending March 31, 2014. Cord remains focused on strategic organic growth which management anticipates will provide sustainable operating cash flows, and, positive operating and net income.
 
Administrative and selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $1.32 million as compared to $1.11 million for the comparative period of 2013.These expenses are primarily related to marketing/advertising, professional services, allocated facility related expenses and wages for personnel.
