NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Business Combination and Corporate Restructure

BTHC III, Inc. (“BTHC III” or the “Company”) was organized in Delaware in June 2005 as a shell company to effect the reincorporation of BTHC III, LLC, a Texas limited liability company. On December 28, 2006, we effected a Share Exchange pursuant to which we acquired all of the stock of International Stem Cell Corporation, a California corporation (“ISC California”). After giving effect to the Share Exchange, the stockholders of ISC California owned 93.7% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Share Exchange, ISC California is now our wholly-owned subsidiary, though for accounting purposes it was deemed to have been the acquirer in a “reverse merger.” In the reverse merger, BTHC III is considered the legal acquirer and ISC California is considered the accounting acquirer. On January 29, 2007, we changed our name from BTHC III, Inc. to International Stem Cell Corporation.

Lifeline Cell Technology, LLC (“Lifeline”) was formed in the State of California on August 17, 2001. Lifeline is in the business of developing and manufacturing human embryonic stem cells and reagents free from animal protein contamination. Lifeline’s scientists have used a technology, called basal medium optimization to systematically eliminate animal proteins from cell culture systems. Lifeline is unique in the industry in that it has in place scientific and manufacturing staff with the experience and knowledge to set up systems and facilities to produce a source of consistent, standardized, animal protein free ES cell products suitable for FDA approval.

On July 1, 2006, Lifeline entered into an agreement among Lifeline, ISC California and the holders of membership units and warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, all the membership units in Lifeline were exchanged for 20,000,000 shares of ISC California Common Stock and for ISC California’s assumption of Lifeline’s obligations under the warrants. Lifeline became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISC California.

On June 4, 2009, the Company formed a new entity “Lifeline Skincare, Inc.” This new entity was developed to manufacture and distribute skincare products.

Going Concern

The Company continues in the development stage and as such has accumulated losses from inception and expects to incur additional losses in the near future. The Company needs to raise additional working capital. The timing and degree of any future capital requirements will depend on many factors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining its normal operating cash flow and the timing of its capital expenditures will result in cash flow sufficient to sustain the Company’s operations through 2009. Based on the above, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company is a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are focused on managing its cash flow, the proper timing of its capital expenditures, and raising additional capital or financing in the future.

Basis of Presentation

International Stem Cell Corporation was formed in June 2006. BTHC III, Inc. was a shell company that had no operations and no net assets. For accounting purposes the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of BTHC III with ISC California as the accounting acquirer (reverse acquisition). The historical statements prior to June 2006 are those of Lifeline Cell Technology, the wholly-owned subsidiary of ISC California.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K of International Stem Cell Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2008. When used in these notes, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean International Stem Cell Corporation and all entities included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’ audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any interim period or an entire year.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of International Stem Cell Corporation and its subsidiaries after intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB”. The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that the Company follows to ensure consistent reporting of its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC. The FASB finalized the Codification effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. For further discussion of the Codification see “FASB Codification Discussion” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (commonly referred to as MD&A) elsewhere in this report.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are accounted for using the First in First out (FIFO) method and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Lab supplies used in the research and development process are expensed as consumed. Inventory is reviewed periodically for product expiration and obsolescence and adjusted accordingly.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The provision for depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. The costs of major remodeling and leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the asset.

Patent Licenses

Patent licenses consist of acquired research and development rights used in research and development, which have alternative future uses. Patent licenses are recorded at cost of $939,482 and $787,176 at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lives of the underlying patents or the useful life of the license. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $42,695 and $26,733, respectively, and is included in research and development expense. Additional information regarding patent licenses is included in Note 4.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in business conditions indicate that their carrying value may not be recovered. The Company considers assets to be impaired and writes them down to fair value if expected associated cash flows are less than the carrying amounts. Fair value is the present value of the associated cash flows. The Company has determined that no material long-lived assets are impaired at September 30, 2009. See Note 4 for a discussion on the Company’s patent licenses.

Product Sales

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, revenue from product sales is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. If the customer has a right of return, the Company recognizes product revenues upon shipment, provided that future returns can be reasonably estimated. In the case where returns cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue will be deferred until such estimates can be made.

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

The Company sometimes enters into revenue arrangements that contain multiple deliverables which is also covered by the provisions of ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. This issue addresses the timing and method of revenue recognition for revenue arrangements that include the delivery of more than one product or service. In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue from each element of the arrangement as long as separate value for each element can be determined, the Company has completed its obligation to deliver or perform on that element, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of costs and expenses for salaries and benefits associated with employee efforts expended directly on the production of the Company’s products and include related direct materials, overhead and occupancy costs. Certain of the agreements under which the Company has licensed technology will require the payment of royalties based on the sale of its future products. Such royalties will be recorded as a component of cost of sales. Additionally, the amortization of license fees or milestone payments related to developed technologies used in the Company’s products will be classified as a component of cost of sales to the extent such payments become due in the future.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily comprised of costs and expenses for salaries and benefits associated with research and development personnel; overhead and occupancy; contract services; and amortization of technology used in research and development with alternative future uses.

Registration Payment Arrangements

The provisions of ASC Topic 825-20, Financial Instruments – Registration Payment Arrangements, requires that companies separately recognize and measure registration payment arrangements, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement. Such payments include penalties for failure to effect a registration of securities.

Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are reported using a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:


		Level 1		Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

		Level 2		Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

		Level 3		Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The table below sets forth a summary of the fair values of the Company’s warrants as of September 30, 2009.


	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
LIABILITIES:
Warrants to purchase common stock	$	2,252,562	$	—	$	—	$	2,252,562

Equity-linked financial instruments consist of stock warrants issued by the Company that contain a strike price adjustment feature. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedge Accounting, we calculated the fair value of warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used are described above.

On June 30, 2009, in connection with the Company’s adoption of the provisions of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedge Accounting, the Company reclassed the fair value of 3,100,000 of our issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption to a derivative liability. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimated the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and all changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. To recognize the fair value of such warrants on January 1, 2009 we reclassified from additional paid-in capital of $303,628, and a cumulative effect adjustment to Accumulated deficit of $301,413 to a long-term warrant liability of $605,041. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a decrease in market value of $408,256. The fair value of the outstanding warrants to purchase common stock as of September 30, 2009 was $2,252,562.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB established the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification is effective for the Company this period ended September 30, 2009 and references to pre-codification statements have been removed or replaced in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB interpretation No. 46(R),” which has not been added to the Codification. It establishes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through voting should be consolidated. This statement improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities, which addresses the effects on certain provisions of ASC Topic 810 (Consolidation) as it pertains to FASB interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FASB No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets,” and constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R). SFAS No. 167 is effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010 and is expected to have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets,” which has not been added to the Codification. It is an amendment of ASC Topics 310 (Receivables), 405 (Liabilities), 470 (Debt), 740 (Income Taxes) and 810 (Consolidation) as they pertain SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and requires entities to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets. This statement will improve the relevance, representation faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets. It will also take into account the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows, and a transferor’s continuing involvement. SFAS No. 166 is effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010 and is expected to have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB published FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. It includes amendments to Topic 470, Debt, (Subtopic 470-20), and Topic 260, Earnings per Share (Subtopic 260-10), to provide guidance on share-lending arrangements entered into on an entity’s own shares in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing. The provisions of ASU 2009-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those years. Retrospective application is required for such arrangements. The provisions of ASU 2009-15 are effective for arrangements entered into on (not outstanding) or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009. Certain transition disclosures are also required. Early application is not permitted. The provisions of ASU 2009-15 are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB published FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) - Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements. It changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. The provisions of ASU 2009-14 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2009-14 are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB published FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) - Mutliple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. It addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The provisions of ASU 2009-13 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2009-13 are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB published FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). It amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). It also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments, about the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The provisions of ASU 2009-12 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2009-12 are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB published Accounting Standards Update 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. It clarifies that in circumstances in which a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one of several acceptable valuation techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies (i) that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustments to other inputs relating the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability, and (ii) that both a “quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date” and the “quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in a active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required” are Level 1 fair value measurements. ASU 2009-05 is effective in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of ASU 2009-05 on its financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes which requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at September 30, 2009, operating loss carryforwards of approximately $23,938,000, which may be applied against future taxable income and will expire in various years through 2025. At December 31, 2008, the company had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15,274,000. The increase in carryforwards for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is approximately $8,664,000.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include patent life (remaining legal life versus remaining useful life) and transactions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, e.g., promissory notes, warrants, and stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks located in the United States. Bank accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per financial institution. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s cash balances on deposit with the financial institutions in excess of the FDIC insurance limit amounted to $44,683 and $131,822, respectively. Excess funds are invested in government securities only.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires presentation of basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). The computation of net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period based on the exchange ratio of shares issued in the merger. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock equivalents, which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period. At September 30, 2009, there were approximately 14,177,820 warrants, 3,866,928 vested stock options and 3,004,172 unvested options outstanding. These options and warrants were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares prior to 2006 was calculated based on the members’ contribution, as if converted to shares in the ratio of the share exchange with BTHC III.

Comprehensive Income

The Company displays comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances in its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income or loss includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company did not have any items of comprehensive income or loss other than net loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 or the period from inception through September 30, 2009.

4. Patent Licenses

On December 31, 2003, Lifeline entered into an Option to License Intellectual Property agreement with Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (“ACT”) for patent rights and paid ACT $340,000 in option and license fees. On February 13, 2004, Lifeline and ACT amended the Option agreement and Lifeline paid ACT additional option fees of $22,500 for fees related to registering ACT’s patents in selected international countries.

On May 14, 2004, Lifeline amended the licensing agreement with ACT for the exclusive worldwide patent rights for the following ACT technologies: Infigen IP, UMass IP and ACT IP, which terms are summarized below. The license fees aggregate a total of $400,000 and were secured by separate convertible promissory notes. The notes bear no interest unless they are not repaid at maturity, in which event they shall thereafter bear interest at an annual rate equal the lesser of 10% or the maximum non-usurious rate legally allowed.

The note could be converted at the option of ACT into the first equity financing of Lifeline with cash proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 under the following conditions: i) Upon the consummation of the First Equity Financing; or ii) Immediately prior to the closing of any merger, sale or other consolidation of the Company or of any sale of all or substantially all assets of the Company which occurs prior to the First Equity Financing (an “Acquisition Event”). Notwithstanding the above, and only in the event that a conversion resulting from such Acquisition Event would result in a security not traded on a national stock exchange (including NASDAQ and NASDAQ Capital market), upon written notice to the Company not later than five days after the consummation of the Acquisition Event and notice of the Acquisition Event to the holder of the note, the holder may elect to receive payment in cash of the entire outstanding principal of this Note. On December 21, 2007, ACT elected to receive payment in cash in lieu of conversion of the notes, which was paid in full.

The Company still maintains an obligation to pay royalties and other fees in accordance with the following schedule:


	UMass IP	ACT IP
License fee	$150,000	$250,000
Royalty rates	3% to 12%	3% to 10%
Minimum royalties
At 12 months	$15,000	$22,500

	September 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
Management fee	$	284,912	$	264,648
Loan payable, net of debt discount of $8,221 in 2008		164,505		156,283

SeaCrest Capital and SeaCrest Partners are controlled by Mr. Adams and Mr. Aldrich, YKA Partners is controlled by Mr. Aldrich and the amounts represent advances to the Company for operating expenses. The management fee was paid to Mr. Adams and Mr. Aldrich, who acted as managing members of the Company (and prior to the Share Exchange of ISC California and Lifeline) for management of the Company since inception of Lifeline for an aggregate of $10,000 per month plus accrued interest at 10% per annum on the unpaid balance. Effective June 1, 2006 the management fee was increased to $20,000 per month. The management fee ceased on November 1, 2006, at which time Mr. Adams and Mr. Aldrich became employees of ISC.

6. Convertible Debt and Advances

Convertible debt

On May 14, 2008, to obtain funding for working capital, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor (Gemini Capital) for the issuance (for total consideration of $850,000 minus certain expenses of the purchaser) of an OID Senior Secured Convertible Note and warrants. The note was for $1,000,000 (and was issued with a 15% original issue discount) and was originally due and payable on or before January 31, 2009. The note was convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of $0.50 per share. The note was guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Company and secured by certain patents and patent applications. Warrants were issued which permit the holder to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock from the Company at $0.25 per share until five years from the issuance of the warrants. The note and the warrants contain anti-dilution clauses whereby, (subject to the exceptions contained in those instruments) if the Company issues equity securities or securities convertible into equity at a price below the respective conversion price of the note or exercise price of the warrant, such conversion and exercise prices shall be adjusted downward to equal the price of the new securities.

Pursuant to an extension agreement designed to allow its lender additional time in which to elect to convert the remaining balance of the Company’s bridge financing, thus reducing the Company’s need for future capital, on February 5, 2009, the Company and Gemini Master Fund Ltd. extended the due date for the remaining $400,000 balance of the Promissory Note previously issued to Gemini Master Fund Ltd. from its original due date of January 31, 2009 to a new due date of April 5, 2009. The Company has deposited the remaining balance of the note in an interest bearing escrow account, which will be released to the lender on April 5, 2009 if the note balance is not converted to common stock of the Company; and the principal amount of the note that is converted to common stock will be released to the Company. The Company re-paid $500,000 of the original $1,000,000 note prior to its due date and tendered the remaining balance prior to entering into this extension. Gemini Master Fund Ltd. converted all of the $500,000 of the note into common stock as of September 30, 2009. Gemini Master Fund Ltd. has released all liens against the Company’s assets.

In accordance with ASC Topic 505, Equity, the Company allocated the $850,000 proceeds according to the value of the convertible note and the warrants based on their relative fair values. Fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using risk-free interest rate of 3.22%, volatility rate of 59.5%, term of five years, and exercise price of $0.25.

The reduction in proceeds, value of the beneficial conversion feature, and value of the warrants amounting to $170,000, $216,117 and $266,117, respectively, have been recorded as a discount to convertible notes and were amortized over the term of the notes using the straight-line method. In August 2008, in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the debt, the conversion rate and exercise price were reduced to $0.25. Estimated adjusted fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using risk-free interest rate of 3%, volatility rate of 57.9%, term of five years, and exercise price of $0.25.

Advance

On June 18, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with BioTime, Inc. (“Bio Time”), where Bio Time will pay an advance of $250,000 to LifeLine Cell Technology (“Lifeline”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Stem Cell Corporation, to produce, make, and distribute Joint Products. The $250,000 advance will be paid down with the first $250,000 of net revenues that otherwise would be allocated to Lifeline under the agreement. As of September 30, 2009, no revenues were realized from this agreement.

7. Capital Stock

As of December 31, 2006, the Company was authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has issued and outstanding 33,996,495 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock.

In October 2006, the board of directors of BTHC III approved a stock split of 4.42 shares to 1. As a result of the split, the outstanding common stock of BTHC III increased from 500,000 to 2,209,993 shares. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, each share of International Stem Cell Corporation common stock was exchanged for one share of BTHC III common stock. All numbers in the financial statements and notes to the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

On December 27, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the outstanding shares approved a change in the Company’s name to International Stem Cell Corporation, which change became effective in January 2007. The accompanying financial statements have been changed to reflect the change as if it had happened at the beginning of the periods presented.

On December 27, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the outstanding shares approved an increase in the authorized capital stock of the Company to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. The increase did not become effective until January 2007.

In November and December of 2006, ISC California issued 9,880,950 shares of common stock for cash at $1.00 per share for net proceeds after commissions and expenses of $8,334,515, net of cash expenses totaling $1,547,433. In addition, ISC California issued 555,552 shares of common stock for $500,000. The holders of the shares are entitled to the following registration rights with respect to the shares: (1) the Company must file a registration statement for the resale of the shares within 60 days from final closing date of February 13, 2007; (2) the registration statement must be declared effective by the SEC no later than 150 days from the final closing date of February 13, 2007; (3) the Company must reply to SEC staff comments within 30 days of receipt; and (4) the Company must maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for 12 months from the final closing date of February 13, 2007. The first day after failing to perform any of the above is known as the first determination date. The Company is required to deliver penalty shares equal to 1% of the original number of shares entitled to such registration rights, 30 days after the first determination date, and additional shares equal to 1% of the original number of shares entitled to such registration rights each week thereafter, not to exceed 10% except with respect to replying to SEC staff comments within 30 days, which shall not exceed 20%. The Company filed its registration statement on Form SB-2 within 60 days from the final closing and believes the effects of the above penalties are remote. The Company periodically reviews its obligations and corresponding penalties under the provisions of ASC Topic 825-20, Financial Instruments – Registration Payment Arrangements which states that entities should recognize and measure the contingent obligation to transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement using the guidance in ASC Topic 450-20, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies,, instead of requiring that a liability be recognized and measured at fair value at inception.

In December 2006, the Company issued 1,350,000 shares of common stock, 350,000 of such shares in consideration for legal consulting services relating to the reverse merger and 1,000,000 shares in consideration for a contract to provide investor relations services which commenced September 1, 2006 for a period of one year.

In January and February 2007, ISC California completed the Brookstreet financing and issued 1,370,000 shares of common stock that was part of a private placement of securities by ISC California during the second half of 2006. The net proceeds from the shares whose sale was finalized in 2007 was $1,157,125 net of cash fees and expenses. In connection with the final settlement in 2007, the selling agent for the private placement received 274,000 additional warrants, which entitle the holder thereof to purchase that number of shares of common stock for $1.00 each.

On January 15, 2008, to raise funds, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with accredited investors for the sale between 1,000,000 and 5,000,000 of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”). Series A Units consist of one share of Series A Preferred and two Warrants (“Series A Warrants”) to purchase Common Stock for each $1.00 invested. The Series A Preferred was convertible into shares of common stock at market price on the date of the first finance closing, but not to exceed $1 per share and the Series A Warrants are exercisable at $0.50 per share. The Series A Preferred has an anti-dilution clause whereby, if the Company issues $1 million or more of equity securities or securities convertible into equity at a price below the respective exercise prices of the Series A Preferred or the Series A Warrant shall be adjusted downward to equal the price of the new securities. The Series A Preferred has priority on any sale or liquidation of the Company equal to the purchase price of the Series A Units, plus a liquidation premium of 6% per year. If the Company elects to declare a dividend in any year, it must first pay to the Series A Preferred a dividend of the amount of the dividend the Series A Preferred holder would receive if the shares were converted just prior to the dividend declaration. Each share of Series A Preferred has the same voting rights as the number of shares of Common Stock into which it would be convertible on the record date.

On May 12, 2008, to obtain funding for working capital, the Company entered into a series of subscription agreements with a total of five accredited investors for the sale of a total of 400,000 Series B Units, each Series B Unit consisting of one share of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and two Series B Warrants (“Series B Warrants”) to purchase Common Stock for each $1.00 invested. The total purchase price received by the Company was $400,000. The Series B Preferred is convertible into shares of common stock at the initial conversion ratio of two shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred converted (which was established based on an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share), and the Series B Warrants are exercisable at $0.50 per share until five years from the issuance of the Series B Warrants. The Series B Preferred and Series B Warrants contain anti-dilution clauses whereby, (subject to the exceptions contained in those instruments) if the Company issues equity securities or securities convertible into equity at a price below the respective conversion price of the Series B Preferred or the exercise price of the Series B Warrant, such conversion and exercise prices shall be adjusted downward to equal the price of the new securities. The Series B Preferred has a priority (senior to the shares of common stock, but junior to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock) on any sale or liquidation of the Company equal to the purchase price of the Series B Units, plus a liquidation premium of 6% per year. If the Company elects to declare a dividend in any year, it must first pay to the Series B Preferred holder a dividend equal to the amount of the dividend the Series B Preferred holder would receive if the Series B Preferred were converted just prior to the dividend declaration. Each share of Series B Preferred has the same voting rights as the number of shares of Common Stock into which it would be convertible on the record date.

On July 30, 2008, to obtain funding for working capital, the Company entered into a series of subscription agreements with a total of two accredited investors for the sale of a total of 150,000 Series B Units. The total purchase price received by the Company was $150,000. The Series B Preferred is convertible into shares of common stock at the initial conversion ratio of two shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred converted (which was established based on an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share), and the Series B Warrants will be exercisable at $0.50 per share until five years from the issuance of the Series B Warrants. The Series B Preferred and Series B Warrants contain anti-dilution clauses whereby, (subject to the exceptions contained in those instruments) if the Company issues equity securities or securities convertible into equity at a price below the respective conversion price of the Series B Preferred or the exercise price of the Series B Warrant, such conversion and exercise prices shall be adjusted downward to equal the price of the new securities. The Series B Preferred has a priority (senior to the shares of common stock, but junior to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock) on any sale or liquidation of the Company equal to the purchase price of the Series B Units, plus a liquidation premium of 6% per year. If the Company elects to declare a dividend in any year, it must first pay to the Series B Preferred a dividend equal to the amount of the dividend the Series B Preferred holder would receive if the Series B Preferred were converted just prior to the dividend declaration. Each share of Series B Preferred has the same voting rights as the number of shares of Common Stock into which it would be convertible on the record date.

In accordance with the provisions of Topic 505, Equity, the Company allocated the proceeds of the Series A and B preferred stock according to the value of the convertible preferred stock and the warrants based on their relative fair values. Fair value of the warrants for Series A and Series B were determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using risk-free interest rates of 3% and 3.37%, volatility rate of 65.0% and 57.9%, term of five years, and exercise price of $0.50.

In connection with the Series A and B rounds of financing, each investor received a warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock for $1.00. Subsequently, the exercise price for those warrants was adjusted down to $0.25 per share. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.


	June 30, 2009
Expected life (years)	4.0
Expected volatility	67.27	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.3	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, no Series A or B warrants were exercised and as of September 30, 2009, had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,100,000 shares of common stock.

In August 2008, in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the securities, the conversion rates and exercise price were reduced to $0.25. Estimated adjusted fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using risk-free interest rate of 3%, volatility rate of 57.9%, term of five years, and exercise price of $0.25. For Series A and Series B, the beneficial conversion feature and warrants were adjusted to $553,320 and $193,321, and $308,307 and $110,307, respectively.

On August 20, 2008, to obtain funding for working capital, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with an accredited investor (the “Series C Investor”) to sell for three million dollars ($3,000,000) up to three million (3,000,000) shares of Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”) at a price of $1.00 per Series C Preferred share. The Series C Preferred will be convertible into shares of common stock at $0.25 per share. The Series C Preferred has an anti-dilution clause whereby, if the Company issues 250,000 shares or more of equity securities or securities convertible into equity at a price below the conversion price of the Series C Preferred, the conversion price of the Series C Preferred shall be adjusted downward to equal the price of the new securities. The Series C Preferred shall have priority over the Common Stock on any sale or liquidation of the Company equal to the purchase price of the Units, plus a liquidation premium of 6% per year. If the Company elects to declare a dividend in any year, it must first pay to the Series C Preferred a dividend in the amount of the dividend the Series C Preferred holder would receive if converted just prior to the dividend declaration. Each share of Series C Preferred shall have the same voting rights as the number of shares of Common Stock into which it would be convertible on the record date. 700,000 shares of Series C preferred stock were sold August 20, 2008, and 1,300,000 shares of Series C preferred stock were sold September 23, 2008. The beneficial conversion feature for the Series C preferred stock is $720,000. The beneficial conversion feature from the Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock are recognized as deemed dividend totaling $1,581,627.

On December 30, 2008, to obtain funding for both working capital and the eventual repayment of the outstanding obligation under the OID Senior Secured Convertible Note with a principal amount of $1,000,000 issued in May 2008, International Stem Cell Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series D Agreement”) with accredited investors (the “Investors”) to sell for up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) up to fifty (50) shares of Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”) at a price of $100,000 per Series D Preferred share. The sale of the Preferred closed on the following schedule: (1) 10 shares were sold on December 30, 2008; (2) subject to determination by the Investors that there has been no material adverse event with respect to the Company, 10 shares were sold on February 5, 2009; and (3) at the Investors’ sole discretion 10 shares were sold on each of March 20, 2009, and June 30, 2009 and 3 shares on September 30, 2009. If the Investors decide not to purchase shares in any of the later three discretionary tranches, then their rights to purchase shares in future tranches shall terminate. As of December 31, 2008, the Company received $1 million from the Series D financing and issued 10 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company raised a total of $3,000,000 in the Series D Preferred Stock round and was recorded as a Preferred Stock. The beneficial conversion feature from the Series D Preferred Stock is recognized as deemed dividend totaling $2,480,000.

On December 29, 2008 the Company issued a total of 2,121,180 restricted shares of common stock to six executive officers and directors and one employee at $0.25 per share. The shares are subject to stock restriction provisions and vest upon the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to accelerated vesting upon certain changes of control or terminations of service. The Company will reacquire any unvested shares for no cost upon the termination of the recipient’s service to the Company. These shares were issued to the individuals in recognition of the fact that they had previously agreed to reduce (and in some cases completely eliminate) the cash compensation that would have otherwise been payable to them in 2008.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued a total of 3,510,206 shares of common stock which related to warrants originally issued to Brookstreet and to Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. Brookstreet converted a total of 612,267 warrants into 484,675 shares of common stock at an average cashless conversion price of $0.95 per share. Gemini Master Fund, Ltd., converted 4,000,000 warrants into 3,025,531 share of common stock at an average cashless conversion price of $0.78 per share. Series A warrants were converted into 800,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share.

The number of warrants converted into common stock by Brookstreet was 484,675 for the completion of the Brookstreet financing and issued 1,370,000 shares of common stock that was part of a private placement of securities by ISC California during the second half of 2006. The net proceeds from the shares whose sale was finalized in 2007 was $1,157,125 net of cash fees and expenses. In connection with the final settlement in 2007, the selling agent for the private placement received 274,000 additional warrants, which entitle the holder thereof to purchase that number of shares of common stock for $1.00 each.

On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Optimus Capital Partners, LLC (“Investor”) for a $5 million investment commitment. The deal is structured where by the Company may draw down funds as needed, but has no obligations to make draws or use these funds if not needed. As funds are drawn down, the Company will issue Series E Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock will not be convertible into common stock and may be redeemed by the Company after one year. Each issue of Preferred Stock will be accompanied by the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase common stock at 100% of the closing price of the company’s common stock on the day prior to the date the company gives notice of its election to draw funds. The total exercise value of warrants issued will equal 135% of the drawdown amount. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are payable in additional shares of non-convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of 10% per annum. A commitment fee of $250,000, payable in shares of common stock, was made to the Investor. As part of the agreement, the Company filed an S-1 on July 31, 2009, which was declared effective on September 30, 2009. The Investment will be used to fund operations and working capital needs of the company and expand its scientific research.

On July 31, 2009, the Company filed an S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement the company signed on June 30, 2009, between International Stem Cell Corporation and a biotechnology-focused fund. Per the agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to promptly file (but in no event later than 30 days after the Effective Date) and cause to become effective as soon as possible a Registration Statement for the sale of all Common Shares. Each Registration Statement shall comply when it becomes effective, and, as amended or supplemented, at the time of any Tranche Notice Date, Tranche Closing Date, or issuance of any Common Shares, and at all times during which a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with any sale of Common Shares, will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Act. As of to date, the Company is in compliance with all requirement per the agreement.

As of September 30, 2009, we did not draw down on any funds and did not issue any stock under the S-1 filed above.

8. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at September 30, 2009, operating loss carryforwards of approximately $23,938,000, which may be applied against future taxable income and will expire in various years through 2025. At December 31, 2008, the company had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15,274,000. The increase in carryforwards for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is approximately $8,664,000.

The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined at this time. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards, R&D credits, and accruals; therefore, no net deferred tax asset has been recognized. A reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and year ended December 31, 2008 as follows:


	September 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
Statutory federal income tax rate	(35	)%	(35	)%
State income taxes, net of federal taxes	(6	)%	(6	)%
Valuation allowance	41	%	41	%

Effective income tax rate	0	%	0	%

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005.

The company may be subject to IRC code section 382 which could limit the amount of the net operating loss and tax credit carryovers that can be used in future years.

Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:


	September 30, 2009			December 31, 2008
Deferred tax assets (liabilities)
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	8,664,135		$	4,531,000
Accrued expenses		862,759			231,490
Research and Development tax credit (Fed and St.)		127,255			286,469

Deferred tax assets		9,654,149			5,048,959
Valuation allowance		(9,654,149	)		(5,048,959	)

Net deferred tax assets	$	—		$	—

9. Stock Options and Warrants

The Company has adopted the 2006 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”). The options granted under the Plan may be either qualified or non-qualified options. Up to 15,000,000 options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants under the Plan. Options may be granted with different vesting terms and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to establish assumptions and estimates of the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted, as well as using a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards. All options are amortized over the requisite service periods of the awards, which are generally the vesting periods.

Expected Life - The expected life of options granted represents the period of time for which the options are expected to be outstanding. The Company estimates the expected life of options granted to be 3.75 years.

Expected Volatility - The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the estimated expected life of the options. The Company does not have enough trading history of its common stock to develop a volatility rate to use in the calculation. Therefore, the Company analyzed two competitor’s volatility rates over a five year period and averaged them into one rate, which was 68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Risk-Free Interest Rate - The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant.

Dividends - The Company does not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

Forfeitures - ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires the Company to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. To determine an expected forfeiture rate, the Company examined the historical employee turnover rate over the prior years as a proxy for forfeitures. Based on the internal analysis, the expected forfeiture rate was determined to be 10.0%.

The fair value of options granted is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the nine months ended September 30, 2009:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2009		Six Months Ended June 30, 2009		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Risk free interest rate	1.2	%	1.37	%	1.88	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%	0.0	%	0.0	%
Volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock	68.4	%	68.1	%	67.27	%
Weighted-average expected life of options	3.75 Years		3.50 Years		3.25 Years

Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, $344,551 and $580,012 was recognized as stock-based compensation expense, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options as of September 30, 2009 was $955,950 and the weighted-average life of these outstanding stock options is approximately 8.46 years.

Stock Options

Transactions involving stock options issued to employees, directors and consultants under the Plan are summarized below. Options issued under the plan have a maximum life of 10 years. The following table summarizes the changes in options outstanding and the related exercise prices for the shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the Plan and as of September 30, 2009:

Warrants

During 2008, the Company raised additional capital by issuing Preferred Series A, B C and D stock. This issuance of the Preferred Series C triggered an anti-dilutive clause in the Brookstreet warrant agreement, where Brookstreet would receive an adjustment downward in the price they pay for converting their warrants and resulted in a deemed dividend of $336,522. In 2007, Brookstreet Securities Corporation earned 274,000 warrants as compensation for its services as placement agent for the raising of equity capital for the quarter. Brookstreet earned 1,976,190 warrants in 2006. Brookstreet earned a total of 2,250,190 warrants in 2006 and 2007 in connection with the Company’s private placement. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for $1.00, revalued to $0.56 per warrant. The Company recognized the value attributable to the warrants in the amount of $1,230,649 in 2006 and $169,249 in 2007 as a component of additional paid-in capital with a corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital to reflect the issuance as a non-cash cost of the offering. The Company valued the Brookstreet warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 4.58%, a dividend yield of 0% and 0%, and volatility of 70.57%.

As part of the capital raising efforts, the Company issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 two warrants to purchase shares of common stock with the purchase of one Series A Preferred Stock issued, there were an additional 2,000,000 common stock warrants outstanding relating to the Series A Preferred Stock.

As part of the capital raising efforts, the Company issued two warrants to purchase shares of common stock with the purchase of one Series B Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2008, there were an additional 1,100,000 common stock warrants outstanding relating to the Series B Preferred Stock.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to borrow $1.0 million and as part of this agreement, the Company issued warrants were the holder can purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock from the Company at $0.25 per share until five years from the issuance of the warrants. The note and the warrants contain anti-dilution clauses whereby, (subject to the exceptions contained in those instruments, if the Company issues equity securities or securities convertible into equity at a price below the respective conversion price of the note or exercise price of the warrant, such conversion and exercise prices shall be adjusted downward to equal the price of the new securities.

During June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with BioTime, Inc. (“Bio Time”), where Bio Time will pay an advance of $250,000 to LifeLine Cell Technology (“Lifeline”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Stem Cell Corporation, to produce, make, and distribute Joint Products. As part of the agreement, the Company will issue warrants for Bio Time to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share. These warrants expire 4 years from date of grant.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information included elsewhere herein. This information should also be read in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements which are included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, expectations and intentions. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion only represents our management’s best present assessment.

Overview

We were originally incorporated in Delaware on June 7, 2005 as BTHC III, Inc. to effect the reincorporation of BTHC III, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, mandated by a plan of reorganization. Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock were issued to holders of administrative and tax claims and unsecured debt, of which 350,000 shares were issued to Halter Financial Group. The plan of reorganization required BTHC III, Inc. to consummate a merger or acquisition prior to June 20, 2007. Until the Share Exchange Agreement described below, BTHC III, Inc. conducted no operations. In October 2006, BTHC III, Inc. affected a 4.42-for-one stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of common stock.

On December 28, 2006, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, BTHC III, Inc. issued 33,156,502 shares of common stock, representing approximately 93.7% of the common stock outstanding immediately after the transaction, to the shareholders of International Stem Cell Corporation, a California corporation (“ISC California”), in exchange for all outstanding stock of ISC California. This transaction is being accounted for as a “reverse merger” for accounting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in our financial statements are those of ISC California.

ISC California was incorporated in California in June 2006 for the purpose of restructuring the business of Lifeline Cell Technology, LLC, which was organized in California in August 2001. As a result of the restructuring, Lifeline became wholly-owned by ISC California, which in turn is wholly-owned by us. Our principal executive offices are located at 2595 Jason Court, Oceanside, California 92056, and our telephone number is (760) 940-6383.

FASB Codification

The FASB recognized the complexity of its standard-setting process and embarked on a revised process in 2004 that culminated in the release on July 1, 2009 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC. The Codification does not change how the Company accounts for its transactions or the nature of related disclosures made. However, when referring to guidance issued by the FASB, the Company refers to topics in the ASC rather than the SFAS or FASB Statements. The above change was made effective by the FASB for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. We have updated references to GAAP in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to reflect the guidance in the Codification.

Results of Operations

Revenues

We are a development stage company and as such have generated nominal revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our product sales have continued to increase. We recognized $298,661 of product revenue, compared to $142,452 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Our product revenue continues to increase quarter over quarter due to the collaboration agreements we have in place during 2009 to provide stem cells and reagents to work with stem cells. Also, our sales and marketing teams have implemented new strategies to increase our product revenue which have been successful to date. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we did not record any license fee revenue compared to $75,000 recognized in 2008.

Product revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, amount to $870,770, compared to $237,087 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our product revenue continued to increase during 2009 compared to 2008, due to the collaboration agreements we have in place during 2009 to provide stem cells and reagents to work with stem cells. Also, our sales and marketing teams have implemented new strategies to increase our product revenue which have been successful to date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we do not record any royalties on license fees compared to $135,000 recognized in 2008.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $191,466, compared to $13,296 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. As our revenues increased so has the cost of manufacturing our products. During the quarter, our cost of manufacturing included some one time costs for manufacturing specialty products.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $741,807, compared to $90,161 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As our revenues increased so has the cost of manufacturing our products. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, in our cost of sales amount, we recorded an inventory adjustment during the first quarter of approximately $181,500. The inventory adjustment related to a physical inventory and revaluation of inventory costs. We do not anticipate significant inventory adjustments to recur in the future, but we do anticipate some inventory adjustments to occur during 2009 based on our normal manufacturing operations. Excluding the inventory adjustment, cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $560,307, or 64% of sales, compared to $90,161, or 38% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As we refine our manufacturing processes, and our volume continues to increase, we anticipate our cost of sales as a percentage of sales to decrease.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1,479,349 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $810,672 or 121%, compared to $668,677 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The primary reason for the increase relates to the additional headcount, additional legal and accounting expense relating to our fund raising efforts and other general corporate.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $3,856,728, an increase of $1,302,704, or 51%, compared to $2,554,024 for the same period ended September 30, 2008. The reason for this increase primarily relates to the issuance of common stock and warrants and the recording of stock-based compensation for services rendered for general corporate purposes, as well as additional headcount, additional legal and accounting expense relating to our fund raising efforts and other general corporate. Although general and administrative expenses increased for the year, other general and administrative expenses have decreased as a result of the Company’s overall cost cutting measures put into place at the end of 2008. The Company has made efforts to reduce expenses in salaries, consultants and other administrative expenses. We continue to incur general and administrative expenses related to the development of our support staff and other corporate services needed to develop our business and general corporate expenses related to being a public company.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $560,063 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $115,099, or 26%, compared to $444,964 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. During the quarter we have incurred additional expenses related to additional research scientists and increased research activities. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the increase in research and development costs is primarily due to onetime relocation costs of our research facility in Russia to Oceanside as well as increased research activities conducted during the third quarter.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,632,113 a decrease of $63,814, or 4%, compared to $1,695,927 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the first nine months of the year, in an effort to manage our cash position, we continued to review all research and development expenses for cost savings opportunities. During this time we have decreased our research and development costs primarily due to a decrease in research being conducted at our Russian Lab and reduced expenses related to our research consultants, as well as our reduced research efforts and expenses on certain collaboration activities. We gained efficiencies in our laboratory activities and streamlined our production activities to reduce costs for our labs located in Oceanside, California and Walkersville, Maryland.

Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred, and are not yet accounted for on a project by project basis since, to date, all of our research has had potential applicability to each of our projects.

Marketing Expense

Marketing expenses were $126,046 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $78,143, or 163%, compared to $47,903, for the three months ended September 30, 2008. During 2009, we increased our marketing efforts in marketing consultants, trade shows and the cost of advertising. We continued to develop our marketing and sales strategies as well as our marketing infrastructure to support our sales team and our sales goals. Our primary marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009, related to our professional sales representatives, sales literature, development and placement of print ads for trade journals, trade shows and marketing consultants.

Marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $389,566, an increase of $113,669, or 41% compared to $275,897, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During 2009, in an effort to increase sales, we continued our marketing strategies and expenses related to our marketing consultants, trade shows and advertising. We are still in the process of developing our marketing and sales strategies, as well as, our marketing infrastructure to support our sales team and our sales goals. Our primary marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, related to our professional sales representatives, sales literature, development and placement of print ads for trade journals, trade shows and marketing consultants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2009, we had an increase in cash of $4,708 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, resulting from $4,319,231 million of cash provided by our financing activities, $3,546,736 million cash used in operating activities and $767,787 used in investment activities. The funds generated from financing activities during the first two quarters of 2009 were used mainly to support our operating losses.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities of $3,546,736 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $7,480,641. The adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash used in operating activities primarily include depreciation and amortization expense of $128,747, amortization of discounts of $67,227, non-cash expense of $450,609, non-cash warrants for equity placement services of $281,416, change in market value of warrants of $1,647,521, stock issued for services of $749,582, an increase in accounts receivable of $43,034, an increase in inventory of $38,403, an increase in prepaid assets of $77,845, an increase in deposits and other assets of $351, an increase in accounts payable of $366,899, an increase in accrued expenses of $381,272, and an increase in related party payables of $20,265, attributable to repayments. The major portion of this increase in cash used resulted from increased spending in general and administrative expenses.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities of $767,787 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to purchases of property and equipment of $650,283 consisting primarily of laboratory equipment for use in a variety of research projects and building leasehold improvements related to new research labs. In addition we made payments for patent licenses of $117,504 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities of $4,319,231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was attributable to closing a Series D Preferred Stock financing round totaling $3,000,000. The Series D Preferred financing during the quarter was part of an existing agreement to raise between one million and five million dollars by issuing Series D Preferred Stock. During the quarter we also raised equity by offering common stock at a discount and have raised $1,225,000 during the quarter. $94,231 was raised from exercise of warrants. A total of $4,319,231 had been raised through September 30, 2009.

Management is currently reviewing different financing sources to raise working capital to help fund our current operations. We will need to obtain significant additional capital resources from sources including equity and/or debt financings, license arrangements, grants and/or collaborative research arrangements in order to develop products. Thereafter, we will need to raise additional working capital. The timing and degree of any future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

the accuracy of the assumptions underlying our estimates for capital needs in 2009 and beyond;

•

scientific progress in our research and development programs;

•

the magnitude and scope of our research and development programs and our ability to establish, enforce and maintain strategic arrangements for research, development, clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing;

•

our progress with preclinical development and clinical trials;

•

the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals;

•

the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims; and

•

the number and type of product candidates that we pursue.

Additional financing through strategic collaborations, public or private equity financings or other financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financing could result in significant dilution to our stockholders. Additional debt financing may be expensive and require us to pledge all or a substantial portion of our assets. Further, if additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners, these arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize on our own. If sufficient capital is not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our product lines.

We do not currently have any obligations for milestone payments under any of our licensed patents other than annual payments of $150,000 due each May, plus payments that are specifically related to sales and are therefore unpredictable as to timing and amount. Royalties on sales range of 3% to 12%, and milestone payments do not begin until our first therapeutic product is launched. No licenses are terminable at will by the licensor. For further discussion of our patents, see Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Based on the above, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not Required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded, based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures by our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for this purpose.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, during second quarter, we implemented a new accounting system which allows us to develop better internal controls around issuing purchase orders, processing accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory, manufacturing and reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals in all future circumstances.
