International Stem Cell Corporation and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
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 affected 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, manufacturing and selling cells and reagents. 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 for the purchase of membership interests of Lifeline. 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.
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 believes that it has sufficient working capital to finance operations through the third quarter of 2008. Thereafter, the Company will need 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 burn rate of approximately $250,000 per month and the timing of its capital expenditures will result in cash flow sufficient to sustain the Company’s operations through 2007 or 2008. 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 maintaining its burn rate, the proper timing of its capital expenditures, and raising additional capital or financing in the future.
Note 2: Summary of Significant Policies
Proforma Information and Basis of Presentation

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, 2006 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB/A. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any interim period or an entire year.
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.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of International Stem Cell Corporation and its subsidiary after intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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 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. 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 $940,135 and $750,976 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 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 six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $38,373 and $24,888, respectively, and is included in research and development expense. Additional information regarding patent licenses is included in Note 5.
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 June 30, 2007. See Note 5 for a discussion on the Company’s Patent licenses.
Product Sales
Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer provided all other revenue recognition criteria of the Security and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, have been met. If the customer has a right of return, in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement No. 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists (SFAS 48), 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.

Table of Contents

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 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 Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”), on January 1, 2007. FSP EITF 00-19-2 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 affect a registration of securities.
Prior to the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2, the Company accounted for registration rights as separate arrangements. Accordingly, the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 had no impact on the consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows of the Company for the period ended June 30, 2007.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). Under the provisions of SFAS 159, Companies may choose to account for eligible financial instruments, warranties and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. Changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings each reporting period. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is required to and plans to adopt the provisions of SFAS 159 beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently analyzing the effects of the new standard and its potential impact on its financial statements, if any.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS No. 157”), which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company is currently analyzing the effects of the new standard and its potential impact on its financial statements, if any.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of the liability method for deferred income taxes.
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 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 primarily in the United States. Bank accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000 per financial institution. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s cash balances on deposit with the financial institutions in excess of the FDIC insurance limit amounted to $2,640,897.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company believes that the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “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 June 30, 2007, there were 3,879,813 warrants, 1,420,600 vested stock options and 1,666,900 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. At June 30, 2006, there were no warrants, and no vested stock options or unvested options outstanding.
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 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 or the period from inception through June 30, 2007.
3. Inventory

Table of Contents

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 small cap), 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, 2006, ACT elected to receive payment in cash in lieu of conversion of the notes.

In addition, a convertible promissory note in the amount of $400,000 issued in payment for patent licenses (see Note 5) was reduced by a discount in the amount of $52,632 to reflect a 10% fair market rate of interest. The note was repaid before December 31, 2006 and the unamortized discount was recorded as interest expense.
8. Capital Stock
As of March 31, 2007, 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 June 30, 2007, the Company has issued and outstanding 35,378,995 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 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 the number of shares of common stock for $1.00 each.
9. Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided based on the liability method for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be removed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

10. 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 2006, 3,087,500 options with an exercise price of $1.00 were granted under the Plan. Stockholders approved the Plan effective December 1, 2006.
The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R (“SFAS No. 123R”), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”), “Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123R 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 SFAS No. 123R analysis. Therefore, the Company analyzed four competitor’s volatility rates over a five year period and averaged them into one rate, which was 71.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007and 70.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
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. SFAS No. 123R 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 quarter ended June 30, 2007:
         
    Six months Ended  
    June 30, 2007  
Risk free interest rate
    4.3 %
Dividend yield
    0.0 %
Volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock
    71.5 %
Weighted-average expected life of options
  3.75 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 six and three months ended June 30, 2007, $236,764 and $123,885 was recognized as stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options as of June 30, 2007 was $1,014,232 and the weighted-average life of these outstanding stock options is approximately 10 years.

Warrants
During the year, Brookstreet Securities Corporation was awarded 274,000 warrants as compensation for their 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. The Company recognized the value attributable to the warrants in the amount of $169,249 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 in accordance with EITF 00-27 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%.

American Stem Cell Corporation (“ASC”)
On June 30, 2006 ASC, the members of Lifeline and Lifeline entered into a Final Settlement Agreement to resolve certain disputes that had arisen regarding prior agreements among the parties and to resolve all rights and obligations between such parties. Pursuant to the Final Settlement Agreement, (i) the members of Lifeline transferred to ASC all 15.5 million shares of ASC Common Stock held by them, and (ii) all promissory notes previously issued by Lifeline in favor of ASC, and all other debt owed by Lifeline to ASC, were replaced by a new amended and restated promissory note by Lifeline to ASC in the amount of $500,000. The terms of the promissory note specified a maturity date of June 30, 2007; and, that early repayments were required when Lifeline consummates equity financing in excess of $2,000,000 prior to the maturity date, Lifeline would make partial early repayment of the note in an amount equal to 10% of such financing up to the amount of $500,000. The note was paid in full December 21, 2006.
Common Stock Agreement
In February 2007, the Company completed a private placement offering of its unregistered common stock. The Company has an obligation to register the common stock within 60 days from February 13, 2007 and must be declared effective by the SEC no later than 150 days from February 13, 2007. The Company must maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for 12 months from the final closing date of February 13, 2007. In addition, the Company must also reply to SEC staff comments on the registration statement within 30 days of receipt. Failure to comply with the above requirements will require the Company 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 on April 11, 2007, within 60 days from the final closing of the private placement, and was effective as of July 9, 2007, within the 150-day requirement. The Company believes it can meet the remaining requirements without the imposition of any of the above penalties. Therefore, no accrual of related liability was made as of June 30, 2007.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
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 Second Amendment to Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. 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 represents only the best present assessment of our management.
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. effected 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. All of our current operations are conducted by Lifeline. Our principal executive offices are located at 2595 Jason Court, Oceanside, California 92056, and our telephone number is (760) 940-6383.
During 2007, we filed an SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection with this filing, we incurred a number of one time expenses for legal, printing, accounting and consulting fees. The SB-2 was effective on July 9, 2007 and the expenses associated with the SB-2 filing are not anticipated to be ongoing expenses in the future.
Plan of Operations
Our overall plan of operations is to continue to execute our strategy in becoming a provider of an unlimited source of human cells for the treatment of diabetes, liver disease and retinal disease (such as macular degeneration) through cell transplant therapy. As part of this strategy, we are also developing our specialty research products. This plan will involve acquisitions of capital expenditures, and well require expenses to develop an infrastructure needed to support our activities.
The following are the most significant areas of growth and our major expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, with the exception of the expenses related to the SB-2 filing.
We continue to expand significantly our marketing and sales of cell culture products while continuing to focus on research and commercial product development in the stem cell field. In early 2007, we hired three full-time sales and marketing employees to market our 30 existing products as well as the substantial number of additional products that we expect to be released for sale during the coming months. We are also continuing to invest in website development, sales literature and development and placement of ads.
During 2007, we also will expand our research and manufacturing facility in Oceanside California to accommodate Dr. Revazova and her team of Russian scientists. This team of expert cell culturists will focus on developing ways to change our stem cells into cell types to treat retinal, diabetes and liver disease. The facility, when expanded, also will be able to culture human cells under FDA compliant conditions. In February 2007, we were able to purchase equipment with an original estimated cost in excess of $800,000 for only approximately $42,000, as a result of the liquidation of the federal human genome project. This purchase enabled us to complete the majority of our equipment purchases for our Oceanside, California facility at one time rather than in several stages, as originally contemplated.
Commencing February 1, 2007, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 1,700 sq. ft. of office space in Walkersville, Maryland. The lease for this facility expires on January 31, 2010, subject to a three-year extension at the Company’s option. The base rent is $1,200 per month. The administrative staff is in the process of relocating to this location, which will allow the full utilization of the laboratory facilities in Walkersville, Maryland for laboratory-related development.

Results of Operations
Revenues
We are a development stage company and as such have generated nominal revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $3,355 of product revenue, compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, product revenue amounted to $5,181, compared to $1,752 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $970,505 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $444,666 or 85%, compared to $525,839 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. During 2007, we continued to incur general and administrative expenses relating to the development of a support staff, which included payroll expenses of $299,512, compared to the prior year were no such support staff existed. In addition, we went through a SB-2 filing and incurred one time expenses for legal, accounting and consulting. The SB-2 filing was effective July 9, 2007.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007, were $1,615,661, an increase of $976,643, or 153%, compared to $639,018 for the same period in 2006. In 2007, we incurred general and administrative expenses relating to the development of a support staff, which included payroll related expenses of $489,611, and consultants and accountants to assist with various Securities and Exchange Commission filings, compared to the prior year were no support staff existed. We had expenses related to a private placement of securities in 2006, which certain closings occurred in early 2007. In addition, we filed a SB-2 and incurred one time expenses for legal, accounting and consulting fees during the year until the filing was effective on July 9, 2007 .
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $555,697 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $147,835, or 36%, compared to $407,862 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase is primarily due to additional scientific staffing at the Oceanside, California, and the Walkersville, Maryland, facilities. In addition, contract service expenditures related to our collaboration with the lab in Russia increased slightly in 2007 compared to 2006, as well as contract service expenditures in the form of consulting fees incurred for scientific projects. Expenditures for lab supplies and lab facility rental increased in 2007 from 2006, primarily as a result of the addition of the Oceanside facility. Depreciation of lab equipment and amortization of licensed technology increased in 2007 as a result of additional capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our facilities and an increase in our Patent portfolio.
Research and development expenses were $1,191,640 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $554,630, or 87%, compared to $637,010 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Research and development expenses increased from the prior period due to increased salaries as a result of the addition of the lab in Oceanside, California, resulting in additional scientific staffing, as well as the addition of scientific staff at our Walkersville Maryland facilities. Also, contract service expenditures increased due to increased activity and collaborations with our lab located in Russia, as well as, contract service expenditures in the form of consulting fees incurred for scientific projects. Expenditures for lab supplies and lab facility rental increased primarily as a result of the addition of the Oceanside facility. Depreciation of lab equipment and amortization of licensed technology both increased as we continue to expand our facilities both in Oceanside, California and Walkersville Maryland, as well as, additions to our Patent portfolio.
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 $207,058 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increased of $206,164, compared to $894 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This significant increase was due to the development of a marketing and sales strategy, as well as establishing an infrastructure to support our sales goals. The primary expenditures for the quarter related to our web site development, creation of sales literature, and development and placement of print ads for trade journals. In previous years these functions did not exist or needed improvements to support our current needs.

Table of Contents

Marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $271,046, an increased of $259,867, compared to $11,179 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, we continue to invest in developing marketing and sales strategies, as well as, establishing an infrastructure to support our sales team and our sales goals. Our primary marketing expenses continued to be for the development for our web site, creation of sales literature, and development and placement of print ads for trade journals. In previous years these functions did not exist or needed improvements to support our current needs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2007, we held cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,657,483. Overall, we had a decrease in cash of $2,039,211 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, resulting from $2,791,430 cash used in operating activities and $404,906 used in investing activities, offset by $1,157,125 of cash provided by our financing activities. The funds generated from financing activities during 2006 and 2007 were used mainly to support our operating losses.
Operating Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities of $2,791,430 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $3,011,680. The adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash used in operating activities include depreciation and amortization expense of $73,141, non-cash stock option expense of $236,764, an increase in inventory of $33,964, an increase in accounts receivable of $4,201, an increase in prepaid assets of $31,837, an increase in deposits and other assets of $1,400, a decrease in accounts payable of $4,565, an increase in accrued expenses of $157,817, a decrease in loan payable of $25,000, and a decrease in related party payables of $145,500, attributable to repayments. The major portion of this increase in cash used resulted from increased spending in general and administrative activities.
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in investing activities of $404,906 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to purchases of property and equipment of $215,747 consisting primarily of laboratory equipment for use in a variety of research projects, and payments for patent licenses of $189,159.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by financing activities of $1,157,125 for the six months ended June 30,2007 was attributable to the delayed closings during such period for the sale of 1,370,000 shares of common stock that were part of a private placement of securities during the second half of 2006. Such shares were sold for cash at $1.00 per share and we incurred $212,875 in cash expense related to the subscriptions that closed in 2007.
During the second half of 2006 and early 2007, ISC California raised an aggregate of approximately $9,992,000 in net proceeds from two private offerings of securities. Management believes that there is sufficient working capital to finance operations through the third quarter of 2008; however 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. Our current operational burn rate is approximately $250,000 per month excluding capital expenditures and excluding one time costs associated with our SB-2 filing. 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 2007 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.

Table of Contents

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. 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 thereafter of $150,000, 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 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Subsequent to this reporting period, it was determined that certain errors were made in reporting the effects of certain warrant issuances, in classifying the amortization of license fees in the statements of operations, and in classifying items in our statements of cash flows. Additionally, certain disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements were incorrect or insufficient. Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our board of directors, has reviewed the disclosure controls and procedures in place as of June 30, 2007 and concluded that they were not effective. We have restated our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and from inception through December 31, 2006. We have also restated our financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and from inception through March 31, 2007. We have amended our quarterly and annual reports on forms 10-QSB and 10-KSB for the affected periods.
Our board of directors is currently working towards implementing significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that are expected to materially affect such controls. We are in the process of evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and this year we will be hiring a consulting firm to assist us in developing specific controls to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
