Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Cesca Therapeutics Inc. evaluated its current product lines and determined that certain products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture contained tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (the “Conflict Minerals”) and that these Conflict Minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of those products. As a result, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals contained in our products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”) or were from recycled or scrap sources.

Based on the surveys and due diligence to date, the Company has determined its products manufactured over the prior calendar year to be DRC Conflict Undeterminable.

A copy of the Company’s Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and is publicly available at http://www.cescatherapeutics.com/conflict-minerals-report/ .

Item 1.02 Exhibit
