FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BIOTIME ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2007
 
EMERYVILLE, CA, August 15, 2007 – BioTime, Inc. (OTCBB: BTIM) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.  Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 consist primarily of royalties on sales of Hextend® made by Hospira during the period beginning January 1, 2007 and ending March 31, 2007.  Royalty revenues recognized for that three-month period were $163,676, a 64% increase from the $99,957 of royalty revenue during the same period last year, reflecting an increase in sales to hospitals and to the United States Armed Forces.  BioTime recognizes royalty revenues in the quarter in which sales reports are received, rather than the quarter in which the sales took place.

BioTime received royalties of $183,093 from Hospira during July 2007, based on Hextend sales during the three months ended June 30, 2007.  Royalties decreased 27% from royalty revenues of $250,017 received during the same period last year.  The decrease is attributable to a decrease in sales of Hextend to the United States Armed Forces, although this decrease was somewhat offset by an increase in sales to hospitals. This revenue will be reflected in our condensed interim financial statements for the third quarter of 2007.

License revenue increased 9% to $47,065 for the second quarter of 2007, from $43,238 during the same period last year.  Most of the increase in revenue for the quarter consists of license fees received from CJ Corp. and Summit Pharmaceuticals International Corporation during prior accounting periods that were reflected as deferred revenues on BioTime’s balance sheet.  BioTime amortizes those license fees and recognizes them as current revenues over the expected life of the patents related to the applicable license.

BioTime's total quarterly revenue, including both royalty income and revenue recognition of deferred license fees, increased to $210,741 for the second quarter of 2007, from $143,195 for the same period last year.

BioTime reported a net loss of $(344,077), or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007, versus a net loss of $(667,844), or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $127,242 at June 30, 2007, compared with $561,017 at December 31, 2006. Total shareholders' deficit was $(2,636,640) at June 30, 2007, compared with total shareholders' deficit of $(1,865,221) at December 31, 2006. At June 30, 2007, BioTime had lines of credit for $573,600, from which $300,000 had been drawn as of that date.  BioTime will need to obtain additional equity capital or licensing fees during 2007 to finance its current operations because its current lines of credit and royalty revenues are not sufficient to fund anticipated operating expenses beyond September 30, 2007.  BioTime has completed a Phase II clinical study in cardiac surgery for PentaLyte®, its pentastarch-based plasma volume expander, and is seeking licensing arrangements for PentaLyte in the United States and abroad.

Forward Looking Statements
 
The matters discussed in this press release include forward-looking statements which are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated.
