\nThe Company reported net income of $402,000 in fiscal 2024 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.5 million in fiscal 2023 or $1.14 per basic and diluted share. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2024, income tax expense was $2.4 million compared to a tax benefit of $3.8 million for the twelve months ended November 30, 2023. $1.3 million of the income tax expense for the twelve months ended November 30, 2024 is attributable to the impact of the state of Florida revenue apportionment methodology change. The change decreased the value of the Company\u2019s deferred tax asset resulting in income tax expense. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2024, realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities were $1.1 million compared to $51,000 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2023. The net loss for fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, was due to an impairment during the fourth quarter of the assets related to the Duke License Agreement in the amount of $13.1 million. Also included in the net loss for the twelve months ended November 30, 2023 was a public bank inventory impairment charge of $3.7 million during the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
\nDavid Portnoy, Cryo-Cell\u2019s Chairman of the Board and Co-CEO remarked, \u201cThe Company\u2019s 2024 fiscal results were impacted by continued investments related to the Duke License Agreement. We expect reduced expenditures related thereto this year; however, higher legal expenses are anticipated in fiscal year 2025 versus fiscal year 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n
