CELL SOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Operations
Cell Source, Inc. (“Cell Source”, “CSI” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed on June 6, 2012 that is the
parent company of Cell Source Limited (“CSL”), a wholly owned subsidiary which was founded in Israel in 2011 in order to commercialize a suite of inventions relating to certain cancer treatments. The Company is a biotechnology company focused
on developing cell therapy treatments based on the management of immune tolerance. The Company’s lead prospective product is its patented Veto Cell immune system management technology, which is an immune tolerance biotechnology that enables the
selective blocking of immune responses. CSL’s Veto Cell immune system management technology is based on technologies patented, owned, and licensed to CSL by Yeda Research and Development Company Limited, an Israeli corporation ("Yeda") (see
Note 7, Related Party Transactions). The Company’s target indications include: lymphoma, leukemia and multiple myeloma through the
facilitation of safer and more accessible stem cell (e.g. bone marrow) transplantation acceptance, treatment of end stage kidney disease and other non-malignant organ diseases through improved organ transplantation (broadened donor pool,
reduced dependence on post-transplant anti-rejection therapy), and ultimately treating a variety of cancers and non-malignant diseases.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019 and the condensed consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2019 or any other period.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and for the year then ended which were included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2019.
Note 2 - Going Concern and Management Plans
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had not generated any revenues, had a net loss of approximately
$2,411,000 and had used cash in operations of approximately $1,289,000. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $5,154,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $19,082,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2019 and as more fully described in Note 9, Subsequent Events, the Company received aggregate proceeds of $118,000 through the issuance of a short-term convertible note and note payable and aggregate proceeds of
$47,500 through the sale of 6,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at $7.50 per share. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued.
The Company is currently funding its operations on a month-to-month basis. While there can be no assurance that it
will be successful, the Company is in active negotiations to raise additional capital. The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity and debt financings. Management’s plans include continued efforts to raise
additional capital through debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to
obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, if the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may
have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue
its operations and liquidate.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not
necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Since the date of the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock using the
“treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods, as applicable. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 includes
the weighted average impact of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,043,835 shares of common stock because their exercise price was determined to be nominal.
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their
inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Convertible notes are assumed to be converted at the rate of $0.75 per common share, which is the conversion price as
of June 30, 2019. However, such conversion rates are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, which may result in the issuance of common shares greater than the amount indicated.
Note 4 - Fair Value
The Company determines the estimated fair value of amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial
statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange between buyer and seller. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. These fair value estimates were based upon pertinent information available as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and, as of those dates, the carrying value of all amounts approximates fair value. The Company estimated the fair value
of its restricted common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 based upon observations of the recent sales of Preferred Stock convertible into common stock as well as the thinly traded volume and closing prices of its common
stock. The Company obtained a third-party valuation of its common stock as of December 31, 2017, which was also considered in management’s estimation of the fair value of its restricted common stock during the three and six months ended June 30,
2019.
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities at fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 |
Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
|
Level 2 |
Inputs use directly or indirectly observable inputs. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as
other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
|
Level 3 |
Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or
liability.
|
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy,
fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and
considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
6
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified
within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market
interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs. The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s derivatives by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 using
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash
flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities shown in the above table consist of warrants deemed to be derivative liabilities according to the
Company’s sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12, the conversion option of convertible notes payable, and an accrued obligation to issue warrants and common stock.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all
Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs during the six months ended June 30, 2019:

The expected term used is the contractual life of the instrument being valued. Since the Company’s stock has not been
publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time or with significant volume, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the
instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term
of the instrument being valued.

On March 31, 2019, holders of notes with aggregate principal amounts of $400,000 and aggregate late payment penalties
of $40,000 exchanged those notes for 70,400 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The value of the shares issued exceeded the carrying value of the debt and accrued interest and, as more fully discussed in Note 6, Stockholders’ Deficiency - Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, this difference of $88,000 was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations as a loss on exchange of notes payable for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
On May 15, 2019, the Company issued a
note payable in the principal amount of $70,000. The note did not accrue interest and matured on May 25, 2019. The note was repaid in full on May 22, 2019. In connection with the note issuance, the Company issued a five-year immediately vested
warrant for the purchase of 35,000 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. The warrant had an issuance date fair value of $5,800, which was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized over the term of the note.
8
Convertible Notes Payable
On March 31, 2019, holders of notes with aggregate principal amounts of $290,000 and aggregate accrued interest of
$97,784 exchanged those notes for 74,967 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The value of the shares issued exceeded the carrying value of the debt and accrued interest and, as more fully discussed in Note 6, Stockholders’ Deficiency - Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, this difference of $174,470 was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements
of operations as a loss on exchange of notes payable for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
On May 20, 2019, the Company issued a convertible note payable in the principal amount of $103,000 for cash proceeds
of $100,000 which matures on November 20, 2019. The note accrues interest at 8% per annum, of which, twelve months of interest was guaranteed. The note also includes certain prepayment penalties that provide for payments ranging from 115% to
140% of the then outstanding principal and interest. The note is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at either (i) $0.75 per share or (ii) in the event of a default, at 75% of the volume-weighted average price in the ten
consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date. The conversion option had an issuance date fair value of $1,600 and, together with the original issuance discount of $3,000, was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized to expense over
the term of the note. In accordance with the Company's sequencing policy, this conversion option was determined to be a derivative liability. On June 27, 2019, a third-party repaid the note in full on behalf of the Company, which payment included
a 20% prepayment penalty for an aggregate total payment of $133,488, which has been recorded as accrued expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. The Company determined the transaction was a note
extinguishment and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,504 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”) for the latter to perform cell production and conduct Phase I/II human clinical trials. In connection with that agreement, the Company committed to fund such work in the
amount of approximately $2,038,000 over a two-year period beginning that same date, with payments becoming due as certain specified milestones are met by MD Anderson.
The Company recognized $297,015 and $981,270 of research and development expenses during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2019, respectively, associated with services provided by MD Anderson in the periods, under the two agreements with MD Anderson dated November 2018 and February 2019. The Company did not recognize any expense pursuant to the
agreements with MD Anderson for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $383,063 of accrued research and development expenses pursuant to the agreements with MD Anderson, which are included within
accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Litigation
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may
result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In
assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims,
as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the
amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable, but is
reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
In January 2019, the holder of a promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 due on March 16, 2016
instituted a collection action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. A motion for summary judgement was heard on July 12, 2019 and the Company did not oppose the motion. The Company has had discussion with respect
to entering into an agreement providing for a payment plan with the holder of the note, but no agreement has yet been reached.
10
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the
guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018,
the Company has not accrued any amounts for contingencies.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we have not generated any revenues, had a net loss of approximately
$2,411,000 and had used cash in operations of approximately $1,289,000. As of June 30, 2019, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $5,154,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $19,082,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, we received aggregate proceeds of $118,000 through the issuance of a
short-term convertible note and note payable and aggregate proceeds of $47,500 through the sale of 6,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at $7.50 per share. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern within twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued.
Our ability to continue our operations is
dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. We may need to
incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain our existence. If we were not to continue as a going concern, we would likely not be able to realize our assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value
estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of our financial statements.
There can be no assurances that we will
be successful in generating additional cash from equity or debt financings or other sources to be used for operations. Should we not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations, we would need to curtail certain or
all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of our assets, if necessary.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced negative cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 in the amounts of $1,289,126 and $918,509, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to cash
used to fund a net loss of $2,411,494, adjusted for net non-cash income in the aggregate amount of $434,112, partially offset by $688,256 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $1,072,913, adjusted for net non-cash
income in the aggregate amount of $73,445, partially offset by $227,849 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $1,298,269 and $550,000, respectively. The net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was attributable to $1,123,269 of proceeds received
from the issuance of Series A preferred stock, $175,000 of net proceeds from debt financings. The net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2018 was attributable to $500,000 of proceeds from the issuance of notes payable and $50,000 of proceeds received from the issuance of Series A preferred stock.

Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the
objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls
are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit
the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, management, with the participation of our Principal
Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal
Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
