Reimbursement, severance cut into Cryo-Cell’s bottom line By Margie Manning Senior Staff Writer

OLDSMAR — There’s a lot of red ink on the first financial report filed by Cryo-Cell International Inc. since new owners gained control. Cryo-Cell reported a net loss of $2.4 million, or 20 cents a share, for the three months ended Aug. 31 after writing off abandoned patents and reimbursing an activist investment group, the Portnoy Group, for legal costs in a successful proxy contest. CryoCell also set aside $950,000 for potential severance to its former chief executive, Mercedes Walton. “There was an aspect of try- Walton ing to clean up the books,” said David Portnoy, who led the proxy fight and now is chairman and co-chief executive. “We’re working very hard, and we expect the future of the company will be bright.” Although relatively small Portnoy with just over $17 million in annual revenue, Cryo-Cell (OTCQX: CCEL), a stem cell preservation firm, is one of the older and more established biotechnology companies in the Tampa Bay area. As one of the few publicly traded biotech firms headquartered here, its financial reporting also gives some insight into the state of the life sciences industry, an industry that economic development leaders have been trying to expand.

Payback Cryo-Cell’s revenue for the third quarter of its fiscal year was $4.4 million, a 3.3 percent decline from the year-ago quarter, but its costs and expenses nearly doubled, a report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said. Most of the increase was in marketing, general and administrative expenses, including accrued severance for Walton, who was ousted after the Portnoy Group took control. She could be entitled to up to $950,000 per her employment agreement, the filing said. The filing also said Walton was terminated for cause, and the company “believes that Ms. Walton has not earned the right to this severance.”

Another large cost was $940,000 for CryoCell’s annual meeting Aug. 25, when the Portnoy Group’s slate of nominees won a contested election for seats on the board of directors. After the new board took control, directors voted to reimburse the Portnoy Group $528,000 for costs incurred in the proxy fight as well as an earlier unsuccessful contest in 2007. A judge in the Delaware Court of Chancery later ruled that the results of the shareholders vote in 2007 were tainted by inequitable behavior by Walton and ordered a new election. The litigation was crucial to having the 2011 board election run in a fair manner, Portnoy said. Proxy cost reimbursement is common in those contests where dissidents win board control, said a source familiar with public company reimbursement policies. As a general matter, reimbursement for successful dissident candidates is considered a good governance practice because it helps level the playing field for dissidents and typically is viewed as merited because the dissident candidates received majority support from investors. At least one company, HealthSouth Corp. (NYSE: HLS), has a bylaw that provides for reimbursement of expenses incurred by stockholders in connection with successful proxy fights. Writeoffs Cryo-Cell also wrote off about $208,000 in abandoned patents and trademarks. “We didn’t feel they had the value to continue to pour resources into,” Portnoy said. The bright spot of the third quarter for Portnoy was renegotiation of a contract with Cryo-Cell de Mexico, the company’s largest affiliate outside of the United States. The Mexican operation alleged that Cryo-Cell breached its licensing agreement on June 17 and provided notice of termination on Aug. 17. The agreement later was amended and the notice of termination revoked, the filing said, and Portnoy said he was happy to resolve the dispute. The amended deal calls for the Mexican operation to pay Cryo-Cell $1.9 million over three years and then the agreement will be effectively terminated, resulting in a loss of licensee income in future periods, the filing said. mmmanning@bizjournals.com | 813.342.2473

Small firms connect with energy innovation Washington — Small companies are leaders in developing clean energy technology, says a study by the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy. The study looked at looked at 1,279 businesses that were awarded 15 or more patents from 2005 to 2009. It found that small businesses held 14 percent of green technology patents, compared with 8 percent of patents overall. Small companies were particularly strong in solar energy and smart grid technology, where they’ve been awarded more than 32 percent of all patents. They

accounted for 15 percent of patents in batteries and fuel cells. The small firms were more productive than big businesses, the study found. Businesses with fewer than 500 employees produced 27 patents per 100 employees, compared with 1.6 patents per 100 employees in larger businesses. However, the study found that 80 percent of the most prolific inventors of green technologies at small firms previously worked at large companies or university labs.

Construction of a parking garage at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Turner plays positioning card with contract for Hard Rock By Jane Meinhardt Staff Writer

TAMPA — Working for one of the largest employers in the Tampa Bay area is one way Turner Construction Co. is preparing for a commercial construction revival. The New York-based firm is general contractor for a $49 million expansion at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, probably the largest privately funded construction project currently under way in the Bay area. It is Turner’s first job for the Seminole Tribe and a way to start beefing up its Tampa presence, said Bryan Boykin, Turner’s manager for Central and North Florida. The company had been a major player in the commercial construction arena in the past. It has had an office in Boykin Tampa since the early 1990s. Turner plans to add several more employees and renovate the Tampa office, which now has about a dozen employees. The company, which had $8 billion in business last year, was the construction manager for the research tower project at H. Lee MofBUSINESS: Turner fitt Cancer Center and Construction Co. the contractor for conLOCAL OFFICE: 500 N. struction of the Byrd West Shore Blvd., Tampa Alzheimer’s Institute. PHONE: 813.287.9420 Turner is seeing a significant increase in renovation and interior work, but it’s the casino project that signals its intentions. “We’re trying to position ourselves in the market, and the Hard Rock project gives us the ability to plant our flag again,” Boykin said. “Obviously, Hard Rock is a significant player. We’re gearing up for when the market turns because we believe the market is going to start taking off next year, and there will be some major corporate projects in the Tampa Bay area.” Turner’s strategy creates opportunities for other businesses. It hires local subs for each project. “We solicit and pursue small local subcontractors, many of them minority owned,” Boykin said. “We have a different list of area subs for each project.” Although construction on the casino project has started, Turner is bidding sub-

contract work in phases and has a final phase remaining. The project is on track for the scheduled spring 2012 completion, Boykin said. The project creates about 350 jobs. More gambling space When completed, the expanded casino will provide 431 new jobs, said John Fontana, president of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The additional jobs will boost the casino complex’s total employment to nearly 3,500 people. The Tribe’s complex is on 37 acres on North Orient Road.

DOING BUSINESS WITH THE TRIBE The first step is to register with the Seminole Tribe of Florida as a vendor. For any vendor providing nongamingrelated services or goods, the Tribal Gaming Office requires submittal of a two-page vendor registration form. A nonrefundable vendor registration fee of $250 also is required. An annual fee of $250 is necessary for a vendor to maintain registration with the Tribe.

Hard Rock is adding a five-story parking garage in an area formerly used for valet parking. The garage will have 1,314 spaces, which brings the total to about 5,000 spaces. The project’s main feature is an expanded gaming floor. The 32,000-square-foot addition will make Seminole Hard Rock Tampa the eighth largest casino in the country at 220,000 square feet, Fontana said. The casino will have 750 more slot machines for a total of about 5,000. The expanded gaming floor will have 12 more table games, giving gamblers 104 games total. Fontana did not have a count of annual visitors other than “millions.” “For certain, we are the busiest attraction in West Central Florida and have higher visitation all year long than many of the local attractions,” he said. The struggling economy has not had much of an impact on the casino. More expansion will be dictated by demand. “The Seminole Tribe of Florida is always evaluating future progress based on ongoing guest demands and needs,” Fontana said. jmeinhardt@bizjournals.com | 727.224.2299

Lightning Bay Pneu-draulics says on its website that it continues to grow and offer the same quality and services it did during the peak of the country’s economy. Also, it’s advertising for a shop manager. Certified workers at the Tampa company have been repairing industrial and marine fluid power systems since 2004. This year three more joined the company, which took advantage of a Hillsborough County job creation incentive program. The county launched the program in March and estimated the payroll grants would generate about 200 jobs by the end of the summer. Through Oct. 20, a total of 65 jobs had been created with another eight positions coming onboard soon. A total of $232,669 has been committed to 40 businesses accepted into the program, which leaves $267,331 available for more grants. “Any money as incentive is good, especially when you have to train employees,” said Pam Fay, president of Lightning Bay Pneu-draulics, which hired three workers earning from $18 per hour to about $35 per hour. “There are a lot of startup costs for each employee, and training new people can slow down other employees,” Fay said. The payroll grant pays up to half the wage of up to three new workers, capped at $3,900 per new employee. The jobs created

GRANT INFORMATION A grant application for the Small Business Job Creation Program can be downloaded from and more information is available on the Hillsborough County Economic Development Department’s website. PHONE: (813) 272-7232 WEB: http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/econdev/sbjcp.cfm

must be full-time and last at least three months. Companies that hired less than three workers with the grant are eligible to reapply. To qualify, businesses must be located in Hillsborough and can have no more than 10 employees. Workers hired with grant funds must live in the county. Applicants must attend a minimum four hours of workshops or counseling sessions to qualify. “The intention is not to spend the money quickly,” said Stephen Gran, acting director of the county’s economic development department. “The intent is to provide an incentive for small businesses to create jobs. It’s to give them a boost, but it is not intended to be a long-term crutch.” The county is considering reducing the full-time requirement to 36 hours a week to provide more flexibility. The proposed change is likely to be considered by the Board of County Commissioners in December. “Small businesses operate differently and

don’t have a lot of full-time employees,” said Commissioner Sandra L. Murman, who initiated the program. The county must do a better job of marketing the program to the small business community, especially minorityowned firms, she said. Hillsborough’s overall unemployment rate for September was 10.5 percent. Murman The hires made with the incentive program so far have paid an average wage of $15 per hour with a range of $7.25 an hour to nearly $40 an hour. Professional services positions in finance, marketing, technology and engineering have started at $15 an hour. Retail, security, restaurant and lawn care jobs have paid from $8 to about $12 an hour. None of the grant money has been used to hire workers in the depressed construction sector. Thirty-two of the 65 employees hired so far have reached the three-month anniversary date covered by the grant. “Most of those companies that have completed the program have retained the employees,” said Lynn Schultz, the county’s business development coordinator. Lightning Bay retained one of three workers. A detailed retention report will be produced early next year. markholan@bizjournals.com | 813.342.2468

AgileThought executives Jeff Alagood, David Romine and Ryan Dorrell meet in their new offices.

Customization, talent drive growth at AgileThought By Margie Manning Senior Staff Writer

TAMPA — AgileThought Inc. is quick on its feet in the race for tech dollars. The seven-year-old software development and systems integration firm is on track to double revenue this year to more than $10 million, said David Romine, president and chief executive. AgileThought expanded staff more than fourfold, from 20 workers in January to 93 as of mid-October, and has 18 to 20 open positions. It’s also in line for tax incentives tied to job growth. To accommodate its growth, AgileThought relocated to a Rocky Point office, double the size of its former office and with expansive water views of Tampa Bay. The company worked with the building’s owner to give the space a $500,000 makeover to match the company’s casual but professional work style. “We built space that suits how we operate,” Romine said. “This represents confidence in where we are going as a company.”

More than technology AgileThought specializes in custom software development for customers. “It’s not something they can buy off the shelf. It’s not shrink-wrapped,” said Ryan Dorrell, chief technology officer. The company also provides expertise, and that requires hiring workers who can have business-oriented discussions with clients to identify gaps and find solutions, said Jeff Alagood, chief operating officer. “It’s not just about the technology,” Romine said. AgileThought recently worked with Kforce Inc. (Nasdaq: KFRC), a Tampa professional staffing firm, to develop software built on a Microsoft platform to process payroll for about 10,600 people. The system cut IT expenses by 50 percent, a case study published by Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) said. AgileThought also trained Kforce IT employees in Microsoft development techniques. Finding local talent can be a challenge, Alagood said. AgileThought is looking for people who get excited about putting together software that works and “delights the client,” Ro-

mine said. Its own workers are sometimes the best recruiters because they attract like-minded people. The company has opened a Chicago office, in part to draw from a bigger talent pool. AgileThought also told the city of Tampa, Hillsborough County and the state of Florida that it would create 12 positions locally at an average wage of $81,448 a year, or 200 percent of the average annual salary in the area, by the end of 2012. That puts the company in line for a per-job tax refund incentive of $7,000 over four years under the state’s Qualified Target Industry program. “We think we will grow well beyond that,” Alagood said. Adapting to change Florida’s software, computer systems and design, and integration industry is one of the largest in the United States, with some 12,600 firms, according to Enterprise Florida. Software firms in particular have been in the spotlight lately — drawing $2 billion in venture capital investment nationwide in the third quarter, their strongest quarter in almost 10 years, according to the MoneyTree report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and the National Venture Capital Association. The prevalence of mobile devices, which require special software applications, and increased use of cloud computing, which allows businesses to store software applications and data offsite and access it via the Internet, are driving software industry growth, said Dave Hansen, chief executive of Numara Software Inc. in Tampa. Because businesses that use the cloud don’t have as much IT infrastructure on site, deals for software are structured as a month-to-month or year-to-year operational expense, as opposed to a capital cost. “It’s a better way to predict spending every year,” Hansen said. AgileThought has a partnership with Microsoft around Azure, Microsoft’s cloud offering, and is working with several clients on cloud computing, Romine said. AgileThought also has mobile capabilities and is doing mobile development work for several clients. mmmanning@bizjournals.com | 813.342.2473

VC funding dips in 3Q, but trends remain strong By Margie Manning Senior Staff Writer

Venture capitalists nationwide invested $21.2 billion into 2,725 deals for the first three quarters of 2011, a 20 percent increase in dollars invested and a 3 percent increase in the number of deals compared with the first three quarters of 2010. For the just completed third quarter, however, investments lagged. A total of 876 deals drew $6.95 billion in venture capital investments, a 12 percent decline in terms of dollars and a 14 percent drop in the number of deals, according to the MoneyTree report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and the National Venture Capital Association. The southeast United States, including Florida, saw a similar trend with $242.1 million invested in 45 deals from July 1 through Sept. 30, compared with $343.5 million invested in 60 deals in the yearago period. Despite the statistical downturn, the venture capital investing environment is very active, said Drew Graham, managing partner at Ballast Point Ventures in St. Petersburg. “2010 was a little slower in terms of entrepreneurs waiting to see what would happen in the macroeconomic environment. That has changed in 2011,” Graham said. “Although there’s continued uncertainty in the economic environment, there’s no longer a fear of a continued downside. Many entrepreneurs are of the view that things will slowly improve.” ‘Every dollar counts’ Still, it’s difficult for many companies to get bank credit. Even basic term loans are tough to get, Graham said, so many business owners are thinking more about an equity component in order to grow. Both entrepreneurs and investors are very focused on efficiency and making sure the capital invested is being used effectively, Graham said. “Every dollar counts in this environment. It’s not a time for frothy valuations.” With $200 million under management, Ballast Point invests in established but rapidly growing, privately owned companies, and places an emphasis on companies located in the Southeast and Texas. “We are not hot-sector investors,” Graham said. “We’re more focused on companies with great management teams that have demonstrated an ability to grow revenue.” Roughly 40 percent of Ballast Point’s historic investments have been in the health sector, and investments there remain attractive, particularly health information technology, Graham said. Nationally, there was an increase in health care service investments in the third quarter with $152 million going into 11 deals, a 200 percent increase in dollars and a 38 percent increase in deal volume over the second quarter. The software industry received the highest level of funding in the third quarter with $2 billion invested in 263 deals. Life sciences companies face a challenging regulatory environment, and software can provide a faster return on investment to venture capitalists, Tracy Lefteroff, glob-

al managing partner of the venture capital practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said in a press statement. Despite challenges, “the industry continues to fund new companies because history has shown us that innovation always prevails and there remains significant promise across all industry sectors for those emerging growth companies,” said Mark Heesen, president of the NVCA. ‘Good time to sell’ Venture capitalists always have an exit plan, often cashing out on their investment by taking a company public or through a merger or acquisition. Given the economic environment, it’s a

good time to sell a well-run high-quality growth company, Graham said. “We’ve had three of our best exits ever in the last three years.” mergermarket, an independent M&A intelligence service, said there was a decline in both deal value and count in Florida in the third quarter of 2011. Economic and financial market worries might have played a role in weighing down deal-making, said Chris Marr, southeast bureau chief, in a press statement. There are concerns about a double-dip recession, agreed Will Dowden III, principal at KLH Capital LP, a private investment firm in Tampa. But good companies are coming to market, private equity funding

is available and lenders have been willing to provide funds to close deals. Leverage levels — or how much debt a lender provides based on a company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization — generally were running north of four times EBITDA and in some cases as high as five times EBITDA in the first half of 2011 before falling back slightly in the third quarter. “There are still good deals, especially for businesses with over $10 million or $15 million of EBITDA,” Dowden said. “There are a lot of people in search of deals in that space, and deals are still getting done.” mmmanning@bizjournals.com | 813.342.2473
