Note 4 – Acquisitions

On January 19, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), NBS Acquisition Company LLC (“Subco”), a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem, merged (the “PCT Merger”) with and into Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PCT”), with PCT as the surviving entity, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 23, 2010 (the “PCT Merger Agreement”), among NeoStem, PCT and Subco. As a result of the consummation of the PCT Merger, NeoStem acquired all of the membership interests of PCT, and PCT is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem.

Founded by Dr. Andrew L. Pecora and Robert A. Preti, Ph.D., PCT became an internationally recognized cell therapy services and development company. They sought to create a business for “as needed” development and manufacturing services for the emerging cell therapy industry and to prepare for eventual commercialization. With its cell therapy manufacturing facilities and team of professionals, PCT offers a platform that can facilitate the preclinical and clinical development and commercialization of cellular therapies for clients throughout the world. PCT offers current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)-compliant cell transportation, manufacturing, storage, and distribution services and supporting clinical trial design, product process development, logistics, regulatory and quality systems development services. In addition, through its network of contacts throughout the cell therapy industry, PCT is able to identify early stage development opportunities in the cell therapy field and opportunistically develop these cell therapies through proof of concept where they can be further developed and ultimately commercialized through NeoStem’s developing commercial structure. Dr. Preti now serves as PCT's President and Dr. Pecora as part-time Chief Medical Officer of PCT.

PCT is engaged in a broad range of services in the cell therapy market for the treatment of human disease, including but not limited to contract manufacturing, product and process development, product and regulatory consulting, and product characterization and comparability. PCT’s expertise in the cell therapy space, which includes therapeutic vaccines (oncology), various related cell therapeutics, cell diagnostics, and regenerative medicine, creates a platform upon which NeoStem intends to build a therapeutics strategy. NeoStem’s goal is to develop internally, or through partnerships, allogeneic (cells from a third-party donor) or autologous (cells from oneself) cell therapeutics technologies that, in the aggregate, comprise the Cell Therapy – United States reportable segment.

In addition, PCT has assumed NeoStem’s adult stem cell business based on PCT’s strategic advantages in meeting cGMP regulatory requirements in an industry that is widely dispersed with a range of quality issues. NeoStem believes that PCT, as a quality leader, is ideally positioned to become a leader in cell collection, processing and storage (cell banking) which is synergistic with NeoStem’s roots in this business. In addition, PCT’s leadership in the transportation and distribution of cell therapy products is complementary to NeoStem’s strategic vision of working with the industry leader as the partner of choice. These efforts are being bundled together into a new service with PCT’s cord blood banking business into a multigenerational stem cell collection and storage plan that the Company calls the “Family Plan”.

Pursuant to the terms of the PCT Merger Agreement, all of the membership interests of PCT outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the PCT Merger (the “Effective Time”) were converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, (i) 10,600,000 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of NeoStem (the “NeoStem Common Stock”) (reflecting certain final price adjustments agreed to at the closing) and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate 3,000,000 shares of NeoStem Common Stock as follows:

(i)

common stock purchase warrants to purchase one million (1,000,000) shares of NeoStem Common Stock, exercisable over a seven year period at an exercise price of $7.00 per share (the “$7.00 Warrants”), and which will vest only if a specified business milestone (described in the PCT Merger Agreement) is accomplished within three (3) years of the Closing Date of the PCT Merger; and

(ii)

common stock purchase warrants to purchase one million (1,000,000) shares of NeoStem Common Stock exercisable over a seven year term at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “$3.00 Warrants”); and

(iii)

common stock purchase warrants to purchase one million (1,000,000) shares of NeoStem Common Stock exercisable over a seven year period at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (the “$5.00 Warrants” and, collectively with the $7.00 Warrants and the $3.00 Warrants, the “Warrants”).

The Warrants are redeemable in certain circumstances. Transfer of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is restricted until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date.

In accordance with the PCT Merger Agreement, NeoStem has deposited into an escrow account with the escrow agent (who is initially NeoStem’s transfer agent), 10,600,000 shares of NeoStem Common Stock for eventual distribution to the former members of PCT (subject to downward adjustment to satisfy any indemnification claims of NeoStem, all as described in the PCT Merger Agreement).

The issuance of NeoStem securities in the PCT Merger was approved at a special meeting of shareholders of NeoStem held on January 18, 2011 (the “NeoStem Special Meeting”), on which date the PCT Merger was also approved at a special meeting of members of PCT.

The fair value of the net assets acquired in the PCT Merger was $8,186,200. The fair value of the equity issued as consideration by NeoStem was valued at $17,866,200 resulting in the recognition of goodwill in the amount of $9,680,000. The fair value of the equities issued by NeoStem included 10,600,000 shares of NeoStem Common stock valued at $15,900,000 and NeoStem warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares valued at $1,966,200. A portion of the consideration paid is contingent upon the accomplishment of a certain milestone for the $7.00 Warrant. Such contingent consideration has been classified as equity and will not be subject to remeasurement. The goodwill that has been created by this acquisition is reflective of values and opportunities of utilizing PCT’s cell collection, processing and storage (cell banking) resources and production capacities, as mentioned above. Due to the structure of the transaction, none of the Goodwill is expected to be tax deductible.

The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on January 19, 2011 is as follows:

Cash	$	227,900
Accounts Receivable		442,400
Inventory		2,032,800
Other Current Assets		166,200
Property, Plant & Equipment		11,858,400
Intangibles		8,100,000
Goodwill		9,680,000
Other Assets		654,100

Accounts Payable		1,370,900
Other Liabilities		540,500
Deferred Revenues		2,280,200
Amount Due Related Party		3,000,000
Deferred Tax Liability		4,319,600
Mortgages Payable		3,784,600

The total cost of the acquisition, which is still preliminary, has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. This estimated purchase price allocation is subject to revision based on additional valuation work that is being conducted. The final allocation is pending the receipt of this valuation work and the completion of the Company’s internal review, which is expected during fiscal 2011.

For the period since the acquisition (January 19-June 30, 2011), NeoStem recorded $3,415,400 in revenues and a net loss of approximately $2,842,100 or $0.03 basic and diluted loss per share attributable to PCT.

Athelos Corporation (“Athelos”) is a subsidiary of PCT pursuing the development of T regulatory cells (TRegs) as a therapeutic to treat disorders of the immune system. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Assignment Agreement dated March 28, 2011, Athelos issued approximately 20% of its shares to Becton Dickinson and Company (“BD”) in exchange for its rights to certain intellectual property relating to TRegs which it owned pursuant to a patent license agreement between the University of Pennsylvania (“Penn”) and BD dated September 28, 2005 (the “Penn License”), and a license agreement between ExCell Therapeutics, LLC and BD dated September 16, 2005, as amended August 31, 2007 (the “Excel License”). Pursuant to the Penn License, BD had exclusive worldwide rights to the TReg patents listed in that agreement. As assignee, Athelos will pay Penn a royalty on net sales of licensed products and milestones on initiation of clinical trial stages, license application filings and regulatory approvals. In addition, Athelos will pay Penn an annual license maintenance fee and has committed to certain diligence expenditures to advance the technology. Pursuant to the ExCell License, BD had exclusive worldwide rights to the patents referenced therein. As assignee, Athelos will pay ExCell a royalty on net sales of licensed products and milestones on completion of clinical trial phases, as well as regulatory approval. It is the express intent of all parties that the BD assignments to Athelos will be replaced with direct licenses between Athelos and Penn and between Athelos and USC. Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement dated March 28, 2011, Athelos, PCT and BD have agreed, that, among other things, BD will have certain anti-dilution protection for the first $5 million of new investment in Athelos and certain board of directors’ observer rights. BD has assigned to Athelos, and Athelos assumed, all rights, title, interest and obligations of BD under a consulting agreement dated as of September 16, 2005 between David Horwitz, M.D. and BD, to be paid retroactively beginning as of January 1, 2011, for services rendered in advancing the Athelos TReg research and development platform. PCT has valued BD’s share of the contributed intellectual properties at $927,000 and characterized this acquired intangible asset as in-process research and development which has been recorded as expense within research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
