NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.  Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Select Significant Accounting Policies

General - BioTime is a biotechnology company engaged in two areas of biomedical research and product development.  BioTime has historically developed blood plasma volume expanders, and related technology for use in surgery, emergency trauma treatment and other applications.  BioTime has entered the regenerative medicine business focused on human embryonic stem (“hES”) cell and induced pluripotent stem (“iPS”) cell technology.  Products for the research market are being developed and marketed through BioTime's wholly owned subsidiary, Embryome Sciences, Inc.  Regenerative medicine refers to therapies based on hES cell technology that are designed to rebuild cell and tissue function lost due to degenerative disease or injury.  These novel stem cells provide a means of manufacturing every cell type in the human body and therefore show considerable promise for the development of a number of new therapeutic products. BioTime is focusing its current efforts in the regenerative medicine field on the development and sale of advanced human stem cell products and technology that can be used by researchers at universities and other institutions, at companies in the bioscience and biopharmaceutical industries, and at other companies that provide research products to companies in those industries. These research-only markets generally can be marketed without regulatory (FDA) approval, and are therefore relatively near-term business opportunities when compared to therapeutic products.  BioTime’s operating revenues have been derived almost exclusively from royalties and licensing fees related to the sale of its plasma volume expander products, primarily Hextend®.  BioTime began to make its first stem cell research products available during 2008 but has not yet generated significant revenues in that business segment.  BioTime’s ability to generate substantial operating revenue depends upon its success in developing and marketing or licensing its plasma volume expanders and stem cell products and technology for medical and research use.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet as of June 30, 2009, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared by BioTime’s management in accordance with the instructions from the Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 2009 and for all interim periods presented have been made.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 is derived from the Company's audited financial statements as of that date.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the full year of 2009.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) except for the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, which was derived from audited financial statements.  Certain previously furnished amounts have been reclassified to conform with presentations made during the current periods.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in BioTime's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Embryome Sciences, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioTime.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with the accounting and reporting requirements of Regulation S-X of the SEC.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties - BioTime’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include but are not limited to the following: the results of clinical trials of BioTime’s pharmaceutical products; BioTime’s ability to obtain United States Food and Drug Administration and foreign regulatory approval to market its pharmaceutical products; BioTime’s ability to develop new stem cell research products and technologies; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price and demand for BioTime products; BioTime’s ability to obtain additional financing and the terms of any such financing that may be obtained; BioTime’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products; the availability of ingredients used in BioTime’s products; and the availability of reimbursement for the cost of BioTime’s pharmaceutical products (and related treatment) from government health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers and other organizations.
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
       Subsequent Events - These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by management and the Board of Directors and were issued on August 13, 2009.  Subsequent events have been evaluated through this date.
 
Effect of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements - In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated.  SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.  SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement.  SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 167 could have on its financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009.  The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place.  All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative.  The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Codification is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and will not have an impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
 
    On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”. This FASB FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. BioTime does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.
 
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary of equity securities. This FSP will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. BioTime does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.
 
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP will be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. BioTime does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.
 
 
7

 
 
On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”. This FASB FSP amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This FSP will be effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. BioTime does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets”, to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. This FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and other related guidance. This FSP will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. BioTime does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FAST issued SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51."  SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated financial statements.  It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value.  Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners.  It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure rquirements for existing minority interests.  All other requirements are applied prospectively.  BioTime does not anticipate that this SFAS will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.

2.  Lines of Credit

BioTime has a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain private lenders that is collateralized by a security interest in BioTime’s right to receive royalty and other payments under its license agreement with Hospira, Inc.  BioTime may borrow up to $3,500,000 under the Credit Agreement.  Following an amendment to the Credit Agreement in April 2009, the maturity date of this Revolving Line of Credit was extended to December 1, 2009 with respect to $2,669,282 in principal amount of loans.  BioTime repaid $223,834 of principal and accrued interest on loans that matured on April 15, 2009 and were not extended.  In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, certain lenders exercised their right to exchange $625,315 of principal and accrued interest on loans for an aggregate of 423,934 BioTime common shares.  BioTime also received a total of $2,310,000 of new loans under the amended Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The Revolving Line of Credit is essentially now fully subscribed, and BioTime may only borrow a minimal remaining amount under the amended Credit Agreement.

Lenders who agreed to extend the maturity date of their outstanding loans and lenders who provided the additional new loan commitments during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 received from BioTime a number of common shares having an aggregate market value (based on closing price of the shares on the OTC-BB) equal to six percent (6%) of the lender’s loan commitment, as consideration for the extension of the term of their loans, or as consideration for making their new loan commitment.  BioTime issued a total of 113,549 common shares to those lenders.  

The lenders have the right to exchange their promissory notes for BioTime common shares and for shares of Embryome Sciences, Inc. common stock.  Promissory notes that were exchangeable for BioTime common shares at a price of $1.25 per share and Embryome Sciences common stock at a price of $2.25 per share until April 15, 2009, may now be exchanged for BioTime common shares at $1.50 per share and for Embryome Sciences common stock at $2.75 per share until the extended maturity date, December 1, 2009.  Promissory notes that were exchangeable for BioTime common shares at a price of $1.50 and Embryome Sciences common stock at $2.50 until April 15, 2009, may now be exchanged for BioTime common shares at $1.75 per share and Embryome Sciences common stock at $3.00 per share until the extended maturity date.  Promissory notes issued for new loan commitments will be exchangeable for BioTime common shares at a price of $2.00 per share, and for Embryome Sciences common stock at $3.50 per share until December 1, 2009.  The foregoing per share exchange prices are subject to proportional adjustment in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar event.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, BioTime drew $1,480,000 under the Credit Agreement.  BioTime recognized as part of its interest expense an imputed cost arising from the right of Credit Agreement lenders to exchange their promissory notes for BioTime common shares at a discounted price.  BioTime determined the total imputed cost to be $299,900 of which $232,801 was charged to interest during the three months ended March 31, 2009, and the remaining portion of which was charged as interest in April 2009.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, BioTime drew $830,000 under the Credit Agreement.  BioTime recognized as part of its interest expense an imputed cost arising from the right of Credit Agreement lenders to exchange their promissory notes for BioTime common shares at a discounted price.  BioTime determined the total imputed cost to be $4,500, of which $964 was charged to interest during the three months ended June 30, 2009, and the remaining portion of which will be charged as interest during the remaining term of the promissory notes.

BioTime also obtained a line of credit from American Express in August 2004, which allowed for borrowings up to $25,300.  On June 11, 2009, BioTime paid American Express $20,413, which paid off this line of credit in full.  Interest was paid monthly on borrowings at a total rate equal to the prime rate plus 3.99%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 9.49%.  BioTime no longer has any borrowings under this line of credit.

BioTime also secured a line of credit from Advanta in November 2006, which allowed for borrowings up to $35,000.  On June 9, 2009, BioTime paid Advanta $32,495, which paid off this line of credit in full.  Interest was payable on borrowings at a Variable Rate Index, subject to a minimum rate of 8.25%.  BioTime no longer has any borrowings under this line of credit.

           The Company has accrued interest of $128,071 as of June 30, 2009.

3.    Deferred License Fees

In February 2009, BioTime’s wholly owned subsidiary, Embryome Sciences, Inc., entered into a Stem Cell Agreement with Reproductive Genetic Institute (“RGI”).  In partial consideration of the rights and licenses granted to Embryome Sciences, Inc., by RGI, BioTime issued to RGI 32,259 common shares, having a market value of $50,000 on the effective date of the Stem Cell Agreement.
       
In March 2009, BioTime amended its license agreement with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”).  The amendment increased the license fee from $225,000 to $295,000, of which $225,000 is payable in cash and $70,000 was payable by delivering BioTime common shares having a market value of $70,000 as of March 2, 2009.  The amendment extends until March 2, 2010 the dates for payment of the $215,000 balance of the cash license fee and $20,000 in remaining reimbursement of costs associated with preparing, filing and maintaining the Licensed Patents by WARF to January 3, 2010.  The commencement date for payment of the annual $25,000 license maintenance fee has also been extended to March 2, 2010.
 
4.  Shareholders’ Deficit

            Total shareholders' deficit was reduced by $3,519,009, from $4,346,814 at December 31, 2008 to $827,805 at June 30, 2009.  This reduction was due to issuances of BioTime common shares for $4,000,000 in cash to two investors under Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreements dated May 13, 2009, to exercises of options at a total value of $633,750, to issuances of BioTime common shares in the amount of $144,024 for new loan commitments under our Credit Agreement, to debt converted to equity in the amount of $625,315, to debt extended in the amount of $160,157 in accordance with the Credit Agreement, to FAS 123R valuation of options and warrants vested during the quarter for a total value of $291,447, to the right of Credit Agreement lenders to exchange promissory notes for common shares for a total value of $304,400, and to the issuance of common shares for financial adviser services in the amount of $229,500 and for deferred license fees of $120,000.  The impact of the reduction was partially offset by net loss of $2,989,584 during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

5.  Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from securities and other contracts which are exercisable or convertible into common shares.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, options to purchase 3,106,332 and 3,523,332 common shares, respectively, and warrants to purchase 10,722,034 and 7,847,867, respectively, were excluded from the computation of loss per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive.  As a result, there is no difference between basic and diluted calculations of loss per share for all periods presented.

6.  Subsequent Events

In July 2009, BioTime raised a total of $4,000,000 of equity capital through the sale of 2,200,000 common shares and 2,200,000 stock purchase warrants to two private investors.  The warrants entitle the investors to purchase additional common shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.  The warrants will expire on October 31, 2010 and may not be exercised after that date.   The shares and warrants were sold to the investors in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4.2 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  BioTime has agreed to file a registration statement to register the warrants and shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants for sale under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations.  BioTime has also agreed to file a registration statement to register the common shares, or to permit the investors to include the common shares they purchase in any future registration statements that BioTime may file, after May 15, 2010, subject to certain limitations.

In August 2009, BioTime received royalties in the amount of $14,976 from CJ CheilJedang Corp. (“CJ”), and expects to receive royalties in the amount of $208,350 from Hospira.  These amounts are based on sales of Hextend made by Hospira and CJ in the second quarter of 2009, and will be reflected in BioTime’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the third quarter of 2009.

In August 2009, BioTime commenced an Exchange Offer to the holders of its Revolving Credit Notes issued under the Credit Agreement.  Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, each holder of a Revolving Credit Note tendered for exchange will receive (a) a number of BioTime common shares equal to the sum of the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note divided by the applicable price per share for which the Revolving Credit Note may be exchanged for BioTime common shares under the terms of the Credit Agreement, (b) a warrant to purchase a number of common shares determined by multiplying the number of dollars in the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note by 3%, (c) the amount of interest accrued on their Revolving Credit Note, and (d) the amount of additional interest that would have accrued on the principal balance of their Revolving Credit Note if they held their Revolving Credit Note to maturity on December 1, 2009.  The warrants to be issued in the Exchange Offer will be exercisable at a price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment under the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing the warrants, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on October 31, 2010.  The BioTime common shares and warrants issued in the Exchange Offer will be issued without registration under the Securities Act.

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

 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Overview

We are a biotechnology company engaged in two areas of biomedical research and product development.  First, we historically have developed blood plasma volume expanders, and related technology for use in surgery, emergency trauma treatment and other applications.  Our lead blood plasma expander product, Hextend®, is a physiologically balanced intravenous solution used in the treatment of hypovolemia.  Hypovolemia is a condition caused by low blood volume, often from blood loss during surgery or from injury.  Hextend maintains circulatory system fluid volume and blood pressure and keeps vital organs perfused during surgery and trauma care.

We have entered the regenerative medicine business focused on human embryonic stem (“hES”) cell and induced pluripotent stem (“iPS”) cell technology.  Products for the research market are being developed and marketed through our wholly owned subsidiary, Embryome Sciences, Inc.  Regenerative medicine refers to therapies based on human embryonic stem (“hES”) cell technology that are designed to rebuild cell and tissue function lost due to degenerative disease or injury.  These novel stem cells provide a means of manufacturing every cell type in the human body and therefore show considerable promise for the development of a number of new therapeutic products. We are focusing our current efforts in the regenerative medicine field on the development and sale of advanced human stem cell products and technology that can be used by researchers at universities and other institutions, at companies in the bioscience and biopharmaceutical industries, and at other companies that provide research products to companies in those industries. These research-only products generally can be marketed without regulatory (FDA) approval, and are therefore relatively near-term business opportunities when compared to therapeutic products. We may also initiate development programs for human therapeutic applications should it be determined that it is practical to raise the required capital or to co-develop products with a third party on terms acceptable to the company.

Our operating revenues have been derived almost exclusively from royalties and licensing fees related to the sale of our plasma volume expander products, primarily Hextend.  We began to make our first stem cell research products available during 2008 but we have not yet generated significant revenues in that business segment.  Our ability to generate substantial operating revenue depends upon our success in developing and marketing or licensing our plasma volume expanders and stem cell products and technology for medical and research use.

Until such time as we are able to successfully commercialize any of the various regenerative medicine products and enter into commercial license agreements for those products and additional foreign commercial license agreements for Hextend, we will depend upon royalties from the sale of Hextend by Hospira and CJ as our principal source of revenues.

Stem Cells and Products for Regenerative Medicine Research

Regenerative medicine refers to therapies based on human embryonic stem (“hES”) cell technology that are designed to rebuild cell and tissue function lost due to degenerative disease or injury.  hES cells are pluripotent, meaning that they have the potential to become any kind of cell found in the human body.  Since embryonic stem cells can now be derived in a noncontroversial manner, they are increasingly likely to be utilized in a wide array of future therapies to restore the function of organs damaged by degenerative diseases such as heart failure, stroke, and diabetes.

We are focusing our initial efforts in the regenerative medicine field on the development and sale of advanced human stem cell products and technology that can be used by researchers at universities and other institutions, at companies in the bioscience and biopharmaceutical industries, and at other companies that provide research products to companies in those industries.  These products are currently being marketed through our wholly owned subsidiary, Embryome Sciences, Inc.  By focusing our resources on products and technology that will be used by researchers and drug developers at larger institutions and corporations, we believe that we will able to commercialize products more quickly, using less capital, than developing therapeutic products our selves.  We may also attempt to develop our own human stem cell products for diagnostic and therapeutic uses in the future, if we believe that we have sufficient resources to do so or if we can do so in collaboration with other companies or institutions inside and outside the United States.

Embryome Sciences has already introduced its first stem cell research products, and is implementing plans to develop additional research products over the next two years.  One of our first products is a relational database that will permit researchers to chart the cell lineages of human development, the genes expressed in those cell types, and antigens present on the cell surface of those cells that can be used in purification.  This database will provide the first detailed map of the embryome and will aid researchers in navigating the complexities of human development and in identifying the many hundreds of cell types coming from embryonic stem cells. Our embryome map data base is now available at our website Embryome.com.

Embryome Sciences acquired a license to use ACTCellerate™ technology and the rights to market approximately 100 progenitor cell types made using ACTCellerateTM technology.  ACTCellerate™ technology allows the rapid isolation of novel, highly-purified embryonic progenitor cells (“hEPCs”).  hEPCs are intermediate in the developmental process between embryonic stem cells and fully differentiated cells.  hEPCs may possess the ability to become a wide array of cell types with potential applications in research, drug discovery, and human regenerative stem cell therapy.

Embryome Sciences has entered into an agreement under which Millipore Corporation became a worldwide distributor of ACTCellerate™ hEPC lines.  Millipore’s initial offering of Embryome Sciences’ products will include six novel hEPC lines and optimized ESpanTM growth media for the in vitro propagation of each hEPC line.  The companies anticipate jointly launching 35 cell lines and associated ESpan™ growth media within the coming 12 months.  The Embryome Sciences products distributed by Millipore may also be purchased directly from Embryome Sciences at Embryome.com.

Embryome Sciences also plans to offer for sale an array of hES cell lines carrying inherited genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy.  When available, these hES products will also be sold online at Embryome.com.

Additional new products that Embryome Sciences has targeted for development are ESpyTM cell lines, which will be derivatives of hES cells that send beacons of light in response to the activation of particular genes.

Embryome Sciences also plans to bring to market other new growth and differentiation factors that will permit researchers to manufacture specific cell types from embryonic stem cells, and purification tools useful to researchers in quality control of products for regenerative medicine.  As new products are developed, they will become available for purchase on Embryome.com.

On April 29, 2009, the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) awarded us a $4,721,706 grant for a stem cell research project related to our ACTCellerate™ technology.  Our grant project is titled “Addressing the Cell Purity and Identity Bottleneck through Generation and Expansion of Clonal Human Embryonic Progenitor Cell Lines.”  In our CIRM-funded research project we will work with hEPCs generated using our ACTCellerate™ technology.  The hEPCs are relatively easy to manufacture on a large scale and in a purified state, which may make it advantageous to work with these cells compared to the direct use of hES cells.  We will work on identifying antibodies and other cell purification reagents that may be useful in the production of hEPCs that can be used to develop pure therapeutic cells such as nerve, blood vessel, heart muscle, cartilage, as well as other cell types.

Plasma Volume Expander Products

Our principal product, Hextend, is a physiologically balanced blood plasma volume expander, for the treatment of hypovolemia.  Hextend is being distributed in the United States by Hospira, Inc. and in South Korea by CJ CheilJedang Corp. (“CJ”) under exclusive licenses from us.  Summit Pharmaceuticals International Corporation (“Summit”) has a license to develop Hextend and PentaLyte in Japan, the People’s Republic of China, and Taiwan.  Summit had entered into sublicenses with Maruishi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Maruishi”) to obtain regulatory approval, manufacture, and market Hextend in Japan, and Hextend and PentaLyte in China and Taiwan.  However, Maruishi has withdrawn from the sublicense arrangement with Summit, and Summit has informed us that they intend to seek a replacement sublicensee.  Due to the withdrawal of Maruishi from its sublicense agreement, Summit will need to find a replacement sublicensee or other source of funding in order to complete clinical studies required in order to market Hextend.

Hextend has become the standard plasma volume expander at a number of prominent teaching hospitals and leading medical centers and is part of the Tactical Combat Casualty Care protocol.  We believe that as Hextend use proliferates within the leading U.S. hospitals, other smaller hospitals will follow their lead, contributing to sales growth.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Under our license agreements, Hospira and CJ will report sales of Hextend and pay us the royalties and license fees due on account of such sales after the end of each calendar quarter.  We recognize such revenues in the quarter in which the sales report is received, rather than the quarter in which the sales took place.

Our royalty revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 consist of royalties on sales of Hextend made by Hospira and CJ during the period beginning January 1, 2009 and ending March 31, 2009.  Royalty revenues recognized for that three-month period were $351,724, a 3% increase from the $341,153 of royalty revenue during the same period last year.  The increase in royalties reflects an increase in sales to the United States Armed Forces, offset somewhat by a decrease in sales to hospitals.  Purchases by the Armed Forces generally take the form of intermittent, large volume orders, and cannot be predicted with certainty.

We recognized $73,226 and $67,725 of license fees from CJ and Summit during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  Full recognition of license fees has been deferred, and is being recognized over the life of the contract, which has been estimated to last until approximately 2019 based on the current expected life of the governing patent covering our products in Korea and Japan.  See Notes 2 and 4 to the condensed interim financial statements.

We received royalties of $14,976 from CJ and expect to receive royalties of $208,350 from Hospira during August 2009 based on sales of Hextend during the three months ended June 30, 2009.  This revenue will be reflected in our financial statements for the third quarter of 2009.  For the same period last year, we received royalties of $24,143 from CJ and $341,391 from Hospira.  Royalties from CJ were included in license fees during prior accounting periods.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses were $639,594 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $416,978 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $103,721 in laboratory supplies and expenses, an increase of $50,683 in salaries and related payroll fees and taxes allocated to research and development, an increase of $35,963 in rent allocated to research and development, an increase of $29,661 in outside research expenses, and an increase of $6,224 in scientific consulting expenses.  These increases were offset to some extent by a decrease of $2,646 in utilities allocated to research and development.

Research and development expenses were $1,165,418 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $764,129 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $133,376 in laboratory supplies and expenses, an increase of $130,797 in rent allocated to research and development, an increase of $127,949 in salaries and related payroll fees and taxes allocated to research and development, an increase of $27,135 in outside research expenses.  These increases were offset to some extent by a decrease of $11,701 in insurance expense allocated to research and development.

Research and development expenses include laboratory study expenses, salaries, rent, insurance, and consultants’ fees.
 
General and administrative expenses increased to $900,146 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $532,358 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $266,526 in stock appreciation rights compensation liability expenses, an increase of $62,920 in general and administrative consulting fees, an increase of $30,339 in expenses related to outside services, an increase of $26,891 in legal fees, an increase of $10,560 in storage fees, an increase of $9,009 in travel and entertainment expenses, and an increase of $8,991 in rent allocated to general and administrative costs.  These increases were offset in part by a decrease of $31,802 in accounting fees, and a decrease of $16,736 in office supplies and expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased to $1,582,320 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $968,297 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $465,267 in compensation liability expenses with respect to stock appreciation rights granted to certain executive officers, an increase of $58,406 in outside services, an increase of $36,437 in taxes, an increase of $30,909 in travel and entertainment expenses, an increase of $26,699 in rent allocated to general and administrative costs, and an increase in depreciation expense by $13,863.  These increases were offset in part by a decrease of $18,731 in office supplies and expenses.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a total of $365,539 of interest expense, compared to interest expense of $126,528 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a total of $973,566 of net interest expense, compared to net interest expense of $203,050 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  These increases for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 reflect an increase in borrowings under our revolving line of credit.  Interest expense also includes an imputed cost arising from the right of Credit Agreement lenders to exchange their promissory notes for BioTime common shares at a discounted price; for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the imputed cost so included in interest expense was $68,064 and $300,864, respectively.  See Note 2 to the condensed interim financial statements.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no Federal and state income taxes owed, since BioTime has substantial net operating loss carryovers and has provided a 100% valuation allowance for any deferred taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2009 amounted to approximately $1,956,000.  At June 30, 2009, we had $4,692,726 of cash and cash equivalents on hand, a line of credit for $3,500,000 from which $3,499,259 had been drawn.

During May and July, 2009, we raised $8,000,000 of equity capital through the sale of 4,400,000 common shares and 4,400,000 stock purchase warrants to two private investors.  The warrants entitle the investors to purchase additional common shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.  The warrants will expire on October 31, 2010 and may not be exercised after that date.   See Note 6 to the condensed interim financial statements for additional information.  Our cash on hand at June 30, 2009 does not include the $4,000,000 we received in July 2009 from the sale of a portion of those shares and warrants.
 
We have a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain private lenders that is collateralized by a security interest in our right to receive royalty and other payments under our license agreement with Hospira.  We may borrow up to $3,500,000 under the Credit Agreement.  Following an amendment to the Credit Agreement in April 2009, the maturity date of our Revolving Line of Credit was extended to December 1, 2009 with respect to $2,669,282 in principal amount of loans.  We repaid $223,834 of principal and accrued interest on loans that matured on April 15, 2009 and were not extended.  In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2009 certain lenders exercised their right to exchange $625,315 of principal and accrued interest on loans for an aggregate of 423,934 of our common shares.  We also received a total of $2,310,000 of new loans under the amended Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The Revolving Line of Credit is essentially now fully subscribed, and we may only borrow a minimal remaining amount under the amended Credit Agreement.

Lenders who agreed to extend the maturity date of their outstanding loans and lenders who provided the additional new loan commitments during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 received from BioTime a number of common shares having an aggregate market value (based on closing price of the shares on the OTC-BB) equal to six percent (6%) of the lender’s loan commitment, as consideration for the extension of the term of their loans, or as consideration for making their new loan commitment.  BioTime issued a total of 113,549 common shares to those lenders.  

 
17

 
 
Lenders who extended the maturity date of their line of credit promissory notes, and those new lenders who made additional loan commitments, have the right to exchange their promissory notes for our common shares and for shares of Embryome Sciences, Inc. common stock.  Promissory notes that were exchangeable for our common shares at a price of $1.25 per share and Embryome Sciences common stock at a price of $2.25 per share until April 15, 2009, may now be exchanged for our common shares at $1.50 per share and for Embryome Sciences common stock at $2.75 per share until the extended maturity date, December 1, 2009.  Promissory notes that were exchangeable for our common shares at a price of $1.50 and Embryome Sciences common stock at $2.50 until April 15, 2009, may now be exchanged for our common shares at $1.75 per share and Embryome Sciences common stock at $3.00 per share until the extended maturity date.  Promissory notes issued for new loan commitments will be exchangeable for BioTime common shares at a price of $2.00 per share, and for Embryome Sciences common stock at $3.50 per share until December 1, 2009.  The foregoing per share exchange prices are subject to proportional adjustment in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar event.

We also obtained a line of credit from American Express in August 2004, which allowed for borrowings up to $25,300; on June 11, 2009, BioTime paid American Express $20,413, which paid off this line of credit in full.  BioTime no longer has any borrowings under this line of credit.  See Note 2 to the condensed interim financial statements for additional information.

We also secured a line of credit from Advanta in November 2006, which allows for borrowings up to $35,000; on June 9, 2009, BioTime paid Advanta $32,495, which paid off this line of credit in full.  BioTime no longer has any borrowings under this line of credit.  See Note 2 to the condensed interim financial statements for additional information.

In April 2009, CIRM awarded us a $4,721,706 grant for a stem cell research project related to our ACTCellerate™ technology.  CIRM will provide funding for this research project over a period of three years, with approximately $1,600,000 expected to be available during the first 12 months.  We expect that the first funds will be available some time during the summer of 2009 and that work on the project will be ready to begin upon the receipt of funding.

Since inception, we have primarily financed our operations through the sale of equity securities, licensing fees, royalties on product sales by our licensees, and borrowings.  The amount of license fees and royalties that may be earned through the licensing and sale of our products and technology, the timing of the receipt of license fee payments, and the future availability and terms of equity financing, are uncertain.  Although we have recently been awarded a research grant from CIRM for a particular project, we must finance our other research and operations with funding from other sources.  The unavailability or inadequacy of financing or revenues to meet future capital needs could force us to modify, curtail, delay or suspend some or all aspects of our planned operations.  Sales of additional equity securities could result in the dilution of the interests of present shareholders.

We have no contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009, with the exception of two facilities lease agreements.  We currently have a fixed, non-cancelable operating lease on our office and laboratory facilities in Emeryville, California (the “Emeryville lease”).  Under the Emeryville lease, we are committed to make payments of $11,127 per month, increasing 3% annually, plus our pro rata share of operating costs for the building and office complex, through May 31, 2010.  In April 2008, we entered into a sublease of approximately 11,000 square feet of office and research laboratory spaced at 1301 Harbor Bay Parkway, in Alameda, California (the “Alameda sublease”).  We have now moved our headquarters to this new facility.  The Alameda sublease will expire on November 30, 2010.  Base monthly rent was $22,000 during 2008, and will be $22,600 during 2009, and $23,340 during 2010.  In addition to base rent, we will pay a pro rata share of real property taxes and certain costs related to the operation and maintenance of the building in which the subleased premises are located.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We did not hold any market risk sensitive instruments as of June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, or June 30, 2008.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain "disclosure and controls and procedures" as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  Our management, including our principal executive officer, our principal operations officer, and our principal financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within ninety (90) days of the filing date of this Form 10-Q quarterly report.  Following this review and evaluation , management collectively determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer, our chief operations officer, and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
