NEOSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – The Company

NeoStem, Inc. (“NeoStem” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1980 under the name Fidelity Medical Services, Inc. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located at 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 450, New York, NY 10170. The Company’s telephone number is (212) 584-4180 and its website address is www.neostem.com.

NeoStem is an international biopharmaceutical company operating in three reportable segments: (i) Cell Therapy – United States; (ii) Regenerative Medicine – China; and (iii) Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China.

Through the Cell Therapy – United States segment, NeoStem is focused on the development of proprietary cellular therapies in oncology, immunology and regenerative medicine and becoming a single source for collection, storage, manufacturing, therapeutic development and transportation of cells for cell based medicine and regenerative science globally. Within this segment, the Company is a provider of adult stem cell collection, processing and storage services in the U.S., enabling healthy individuals to donate and store their stem cells for personal therapeutic use. Pre-donating cells at birth or at a younger age helps to ensure a supply of autologous stem cells should they be needed for future medical treatment.

The Company strengthened its expertise in cellular therapies, for its Cell Therapy – United States segment, with its January 19, 2011 acquisition of Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PCT”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the membership interests of PCT, and PCT is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem. PCT is engaged in a wide 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, regulatory consulting, product characterization and comparability, and storage, distribution, manufacturing and transportation of cell therapy products. PCT’s legacy business relationships also afford NeoStem introductions to innovative therapeutic programs. Through the PCT acquisition, NeoStem now owns approximately an 80% interest in Athelos, a company developing a T-cell based immunomodulatory therapeutic. Athelos expects to initiate Phase I studies in autoimmune disorders in 2012. The Company views the PCT acquisition as fundamental to building a foundation in achieving its strategic mission of capturing the paradigm shift to cell therapy. (See Note 4)

Through its Regenerative Medicine – China segment, in 2009, the Company began several China-based, Regenerative Medicine initiatives including: (i) creating a separate China-based cell therapy operation, (ii) constructing a stem cell research and development laboratory and processing facility in Beijing, (iii) establishing relationships with hospitals to provide cell-based therapies, and (iv) obtaining product licenses covering several adult stem cell therapeutics focused on regenerative medicine.

The Company acquired its Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China segment on October 30, 2009, when China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (“CBH”) merged with and into CBH Acquisition LLC (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem, with Merger Sub as the surviving entity (the “Erye Merger”). As a result of the Erye Merger, NeoStem acquired CBH’s 51% ownership interest in Suzhou Erye Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. (“Erye”), a Sino-foreign joint venture with limited liability organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Erye was founded more than 50 years ago and represents an established, vertically-integrated pharmaceutical business. Historically, Erye has concentrated its efforts on the manufacturing and distribution of generic antibiotic products. In 2010, Erye began transferring its operations to its newly constructed manufacturing facility. The relocation is continuing as the new production lines are completed and receive cGMP certification through 2011. The relocation is significantly increasing Erye’s manufacturing capacity. As part of its plan to focus its business on capturing the paradigm shift to cell therapies following the January 2011 acquisition of PCT, the Company is pursuing strategic alternatives with respect to its interest in Erye.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are unaudited, include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NeoStem, Inc. and its wholly owned and partially owned subsidiaries and affiliates as listed below:

Entity	Percentage of Ownership	Location
NeoStem, Inc.	Parent Company	United States of America
NeoStem Therapies, Inc.	100%	United States of America
Stem Cell Technologies, Inc.	100%	United States of America
NeoStem (China) Inc.	100%	People’s Republic of China
Qingdao Niao Bio-Technology Ltd.*	*	People’s Republic of China
Beijing Ruijiao Bio-Technology Ltd.*	*	People’s Republic of China
Tianjin Niou Bio-Technology Co., Ltd.*	*	People’s Republic of China
China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (CBH)	100%	United States of America
Suzhou Erye Pharmaceuticals Company Ltd.	51% owned by CBH	People’s Republic of China
Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (PCT)	100%	United States of America
NeoStem Family Storage, LLC	100% owned by PCT	United States of America
Athelos Corporation	80.1% owned by PCT	United States of America
PCT Allendale, LLC	100% owned by PCT	United States of America

* Because certain regulations in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) currently restrict or prohibit foreign entities from holding certain licenses and controlling certain businesses in China, the Company created a wholly foreign-owned entity, or WFOE, NeoStem (China), to implement its expansion initiatives in China. To comply with China’s foreign investment regulations with respect to stem cell-related activities, these business initiatives in China are conducted via Chinese domestic entities that are controlled by the WFOE through various contractual arrangements and under the principles of consolidation the Company consolidates 100% of their operations.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of 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 consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety days or less when purchased.

Concentration of Risks: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, three major suppliers provided approximately 23.5% and 23.4%, respectively, of Erye’s purchases of raw materials. As of June 30, 2011, the total accounts payable to the three major suppliers represented 12% of the total accounts payable balance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, two major suppliers provided approximately 23% of Erye’s purchases of raw materials with each supplier individually accounting for 13% and 10%, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the total accounts payable to the two major suppliers was 17.9% of the total accounts payable.

Approximately 93% of Erye’s revenues are derived from products that use penicillin or cephalosporin as the key active ingredient. These products are manufactured on two of the eight production lines in Erye’s manufacturing facility. Any issues or incidents that might disrupt the manufacturing of products requiring penicillin or cephalosporin could have a material impact on the operating results of Erye. Any interruption or cessation in production could impact market sales.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents cash required to be deposited with banks in China as collateral for the balance of bank notes payable and are subject to withdrawal restrictions according to the agreement with the bank. The required deposit rate is approximately 30 – 50% of the notes payable balance. Such restricted cash associated with these notes payable is reflected within current assets. In addition, the Company has restricted cash associated with its Series E Preferred Stock, which is held in escrow and is not available to meet current cash requirements, and is therefore recorded in other assets, and restricted cash held as a security deposit in connection with PCT mortgages payable, which is also recorded in other assets.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company applies judgment in connection with establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts. Specifically, the Company analyzes the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentration and credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in the Company’s customer payment terms. Significant changes in customer concentrations or payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness or weakening economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectability of the receivables and the Company’s operating results. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends by its customers, and records a reserve when it believes collection of amounts due are at risk.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out basis. The Company reviews its inventory periodically and will reduce inventory to its net realizable value depending on certain factors, such as product demand, remaining shelf life, future marketing plans, obsolescence and slow-moving inventories. The Company includes in work in process the cost incurred on projects at PCT that have multiple deliverables and therefore cannot be recognized as revenue until the project is completed. The Company reviews these projects periodically to determine that the value of each project is stated at the lower of cost or market.

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Raw materials and supplies	$	2,686.6	$	8,043.8
Work in process		9,782.4		4,792.4
Finished goods		12,539.7		8,187.2
Total inventory	$	25,008.7	$	21,023.4

Property, Plant, and Equipment: The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend original asset lives are charged to expense as incurred.

Property, plant, and equipment consisted of the following (in thousands):

	Useful Life	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Building and improvements	25-30 years	$	17,986.5		$	6,091.9

Accumulated depreciation			(5,069.7	)		(2,412.5	)
		$	50,285.6		$	36,998.2

The Company’s results included depreciation expense of approximately $1,430,300 and $2,719,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $271,500 and $476,900 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Erye has substantially completed its new factory and has relocated substantially all operations to the new facility. Construction in progress is related to this production facility which is being built in accordance with the PRC’s Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) Standard. The Company expects that the construction will be completed in 2011; however, certain elements of the project have been completed and were put into service in 2010. At June 30, 2011 the estimated additional cost to complete construction will be approximately $0.3 million. No depreciation is provided for construction-in-progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into service. Interest incurred during the period of construction, if material, is capitalized. The Company capitalized $105,600 and $235,700 of interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $629,100 and $765,200 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Land Use Rights: According to Chinese law, the government owns all the land in China. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. Land use rights are being recognized ratably using the straight-line method over the lease term of 50 years.

Income Taxes: The Company recognizes (a) the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company continues to evaluate the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. The guidance requires companies to recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if the position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit. The position ascertained inherently requires judgment and estimates by management. As of June 30, 2011, management does not believe the Company has any material uncertain tax positions that would require it to measure and reflect the potential lack of sustainability of a position on audit in its financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate its uncertain tax positions in future periods to determine if measurement and recognition in its financial statements is necessary. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next year.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. There were no interest and penalties recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Federal government and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations has expired on all consolidated U.S. Federal corporate income tax returns filed through 2006, and the Internal Revenue Service is not currently examining any of the post-2006 returns filed by the Company.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): The accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 in the amount of $4,289,600 and $2,779,100, respectively, is comprised entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Net loss	$	(10,537.9	)	$	(3,761.8	)	$	(20,237.6	)	$	(7,045.6	)

Comprehensive loss attributable to NeoStem, Inc.	$	(10,609.5	)	$	(5,294.5	)	$	(20,008.4	)	$	(9,900.2	)

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identified net assets of businesses acquired. The Company’s intangible assets with an indefinite life are related to in process research and development at Erye, as the Company expects this research and development to provide the Company with substantial benefit for a period that extends beyond the foreseeable horizon. Amortized intangible assets consist of Erye’s customer list, manufacturing technology, standard operating procedures, tradename, lease rights and patents, as well as patents and rights associated primarily with the VSEL TM Technology. These intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their respective useful lives.

The Company reviews goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually for possible impairment. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company tests its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for its Cell Therapy – United States, and its Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China reporting units on October 31. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets utilizing a discounted cash flow model, and, where appropriate, a market value approach is also utilized to supplement the discounted cash flow model. The Company makes assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows, discount rates, long-term growth rates and market values to determine each reporting unit’s estimated fair value. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges.

Derivatives: Derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, are recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized currently in results of operations unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company has not entered into hedging activities to date. As a result of certain financings (see Note 8), derivative instruments were created that are measured at fair value and marked to market at each reporting period. Changes in the derivative value are recorded as other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.

Evaluation of Long-lived Assets: The Company reviews long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. If other events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset that the Company expects to hold and use may not be recoverable, the Company will estimate the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or its eventual disposition, and recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss, if determined to be necessary, would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Share-Based Compensation: The Company expenses all share-based payment awards to employees, directors, advisors and consultants, including grants of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock, over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, the Company estimates the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and recognizes compensation expense related to those awards expected to vest. The Company determines the fair value of certain share-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which uses both historical and current market data to estimate the fair value. This method incorporates various assumptions such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life of the options or warrants. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock and restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. See Note 9.

Earnings Per Share: Basic loss per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share, which is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding, is not presented as such potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive in all periods presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred net losses and therefore no common stock equivalents were utilized in the calculation of earnings per share. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company excluded the following potentially dilutive securities:

	June 30,
	2011		2010
Stock Options		19,086,328		11,842,214
Warrants		25,007,979		18,027,028
Series E Preferred Stock, Common stock equivalents		4,599,136		-

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical intermediary product sales when title has passed, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable, and the collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured which is at the time of delivery. The Company recognizes revenue for its cell development and manufacturing services based on the terms of individual contracts. In certain cases, there are multiple elements that cannot be considered separate deliverables and therefore the Company recognizes revenue on a completed contract basis for these arrangements. In other cases, the Company is paid for time and materials or for fixed monthly amounts and revenue is recognized when efforts are expended or contractual terms have been met. The Company recognizes revenue related to the collection and cryopreservation of cord blood and autologous adult stem cells when the cryopreservation process is completed which is twenty four hours after cells have been collected. Revenue related to advance payments of storage fees is recognized ratably over the period covered by the advance payments. The Company earns revenue, in the form of license fees, from physicians seeking to establish autologous adult stem cell collection centers. These license fees are typically billed upon signing of the collection center agreement and qualification of the physician by the Company’s credentialing committee and at various times during the term of license agreements based on the terms of the specific agreement. These fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the appropriate period of time to which the revenue element relates. The Company also receives licensing fees from a licensee for use of its technology and knowledge to operate an adult stem cell banking operation in China, which licensing fees are recognized as revenues ratably over the appropriate period of time to which the revenue element relates. In addition, the Company earns royalties for the use of its name and scientific information in connection with its License and Referral Agreement with Ceregenex Corporation, which royalties are recognized as revenue when they are received.

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Revenues
Prescription drugs and intermediary pharmaceutical products	$	16,151.2	$	19,351.3	$	34,293.0	$	35,122.5
Stem cell related service revenues		1,723.3		56.2		2,737.8		118.2
Stem cell related services - reimbursed expenses		586.2		-		1,071.0		-
	$	18,460.7	$	19,407.5	$	38,101.8	$	35,240.7

Fair Value Measurements: Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported are defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market at the measurement date (exit price). The Company is required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following categories:

Level 1 inputs which are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs which are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The Company determined the fair value of funds invested in short term investments, which are considered trading securities, to be level 1 inputs measured by quoted prices of the securities in active markets. The Company determined the fair value of funds invested in money market funds to be level 1. The Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities and warrant derivative liabilities to be level 3 inputs. These inputs require material subjectivity because value is derived through the use of a lattice model that values the derivatives based on probability weighted discounted cash flows. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2011
	Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Money market investments	$	2,500.5
Short term investments		1.5
Embedded derivative liabilities						1,933.7
Warrant derivative liabilities						342.3
	December 31, 2010
	Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Money market investments	$	-	$	2,501.0	$	-
Short term investments		0.5		-		-
Embedded derivative liabilities		-		-		2,281.8
Warrant derivative liabilities		-		-		289.6

Subsequent to December 31, 2010 the Company reevaluated the characteristics of the money market savings account, currently recorded as other assets, and determined it is not tied to underlying securities and has been reclassified to level 1.

For those financial instruments with significant Level 3 inputs, the following table summarizes the activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 by type of instrument (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended						For the Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2011						June 30, 2011
	Embedded						Embedded
	Derivatives			Warrants			Derivatives			Warrants
Beginning liability balance	$	2,466.8		$	367.3		$	2,281.8		$	289.6
Change in fair value recorded in earnings		(533.1	)		(25.0	)		(348.1	)		52.7

Ending liability balance	$	1,933.7		$	342.3		$	1,933.7		$	342.3

Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, bank loans, and amount due related parties.

Foreign Currency Translation: As the Company’s Chinese pharmaceutical business is a self-contained and integrated entity, and the Company’s Chinese stem cell business’ future cash flow is intended to be sufficient to service its additional financing requirements, the Chinese subsidiaries’ functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”), and the Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar. Results of foreign operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the end of each reporting period. Cash flows are also translated at average exchange rates for the period, therefore, amounts reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet.

Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amounted to $4,289,600, and $2,779,100 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Research and Development Costs: Research and development (“R&D”) expenses include salaries, benefits, and other headcount related costs, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract and other outside service fees including sponsored research agreements, and facilities and overhead costs. The Company expenses the costs associated with research and development activities when incurred.

To further drive the Company’s cell therapy initiatives, the Company will continue targeting key governmental agencies, congressional committees and not-for-profit organizations to contribute funds for the Company’s research and development programs. The Company accounts for government grants as a deduction to the related expense in research and development operating expenses when earned.

Statutory Reserves: Pursuant to laws applicable to entities incorporated in the PRC, the PRC subsidiaries are prohibited from distributing their statutory capital and are required to appropriate from PRC GAAP profit after tax to other non-distributable reserve funds. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits (i.e., 50% of the registered capital of the relevant company), the general reserve fund requires annual appropriation at 10% of after tax profit (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC at each year-end); the appropriation to the other funds are at the discretion of the subsidiaries.

The general reserve is used to offset extraordinary losses. Subject to approval by the relevant authorities, a subsidiary may, upon a resolution passed by the shareholders, convert the general reserve into registered capital provided that the remaining general reserve after the conversion shall be at least 25% of the registered capital of the subsidiary before the capital increase as a result of the conversion. The staff welfare and bonus reserve is used for the collective welfare of the employees of the subsidiary. The enterprise expansion reserve is for the expansion of the subsidiary’s operations and can also be converted to registered capital upon a resolution passed by the shareholders subject to approval by the relevant authorities. These reserves represent appropriations of the retained earnings determined in accordance with Chinese law, and are not distributable as cash dividends to the parent company, NeoStem. Statutory reserves are $2,278,800 and $2,234,600 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payment of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries only out of their accumulated earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets either in the form of dividends, loans or advances. The restricted amount was $182,700 at June 30, 2011 and $214,200 at December 31, 2010.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB amended the existing disclosure guidance on fair value measurements, which was effective January 1, 2011, for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Since the amended guidance requires only additional disclosures, the adoption of the provisions did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued guidance which allows the milestone method to be used as an acceptable revenue recognition methodology when an arrangement includes substantive milestones. The guidance provides a definition of substantive milestone and should be applied regardless of whether the arrangement includes single or multiple deliverables or units of accounting. The guidance is limited to the transactions involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination. The guidance is effective prospectively to milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued an update which addresses the accounting for stock options when denominating the exercise price of a share-based payment award in the currency of the market in which the underlying equity security trades. A share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades shall not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore such an award shall not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies for equity classification. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued an update which addresses when to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The update modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting this pronouncement when it performs its goodwill impairment test.

In December 2010, the FASB issued an update which addresses the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. The update requires public entities to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period, including revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. Amendments in this update are effective prospectively for 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, 2010. The Company has adopted this update and applied the disclosure requirements in connection with the PCT Merger (See Note 4).

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in shareholders' equity and requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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.

The following supplemental table presents unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information as if the closing of the acquisition of PCT had occurred on January 1, 2010 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

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.

Note 7 – Bank Loans, Notes Payable and Mortgages Payable

Bank Loans

In November 2010, Erye obtained a bank loan of approximately $3,094,000 from the CITIC Bank International with a variable interest rate that is currently 6.06% and is due in November 2011.

In March 2011, Erye obtained a bank loan of approximately $1,547,000 from the China Merchants Bank with a variable interest rate that is currently 6.06% and is due in September 2011.

In May 2011, Erye obtained a bank loan of approximately $3,094,000 from Commercial Bank of China with a variable interest rate that is currently 7.02% and is due in November 2011.

Notes Payable

Erye has approximately $10,962,900 of notes payable outstanding as of June 30, 2011. Notes are payable to the banks who issue bank notes to Erye’s creditors. Notes payable are interest free and usually mature after a three to six month period. In order to issue notes payable on behalf of Erye, the banks require collateral, such as cash deposits which are approximately 30% - 50% of notes to be issued, or properties owned by Erye. Restricted cash pledged as collateral for the balance of notes payable at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, amounted to approximately $4,897,400 and $3,381,400, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the restricted cash amounted to 44.7 % and 35.80%, respectively, of the notes payable Erye issued, and the remainder of the notes payable is collateralized by pledging the land use right Erye owns, which amounted to approximately $4,850,200 and $4,807,800 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The Company has financed certain insurance policies and has notes payable at June 30, 2011 of approximately $94,000 related to these policies. These notes require monthly payments and mature in less than one year.

Mortgages Payable

On October 31, 2007, PCT issued a note to borrow $3,120,000 (the “Note”) in connection with its $3,818,500 purchase of condominium units in an existing building in Allendale, New Jersey (the “Property”) that PCT uses as a laboratory and stem cell processing facility. The Note is payable in 239 consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest, based on a 20 year amortization schedule; and one final payment of all outstanding principal plus accrued interest then due. The current monthly installment is $20,766, which includes interest at an initial rate of 5.00%; the interest rate and monthly installments payments are subject to adjustment on October 1, 2017. On that date, upon prior written notice, the lender shall have the option to declare the entire outstanding principal balance, together with all outstanding interest, due and payable in full. The Note is secured by substantially all of the assets of PCT, including a first mortgage on the Property and assignment of an amount approximately equal to eighteen months debt service held in escrow. The Note matures on October 1, 2027 if not called by the lender on October 1, 2017. The note is subject to certain debt service coverage and total debt to tangible net worth financial covenant ratios semi-annually. The next measurement date for compliance with financial covenants is December 31, 2011. PCT was not in compliance with such covenants at the measurement date of June 30, 2011, and has obtained a covenant waiver letter from the lender for all periods through June 30, 2011. The outstanding balance was approximately $2,763,200 at June 30, 2011 of which $111,200 is payable within twelve months. On December 6, 2010 PCT Allendale, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCT, entered into a note for a second mortgage in the amount of $1 million on the Allendale Property with TD Bank, N.A. This loan is guaranteed by PCT, DomaniCell (a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCT, now known as NeoStem Family Storage, LLC), Northern New Jersey Cancer Associates (“NNJCA”) and certain partners of NNJCA and is subject to a financial covenant starting December 31, 2011. The loan is for 124 months at a fixed rate of 6% for the first 64 months. The loan is callable for a certain period prior to the interest reset date. The initial four months is interest only. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2011 is $957,000 of which $74,100 is payable within twelve months.

Note 8 – Preferred Stock

Convertible Redeemable Series E 7% Preferred Stock

On November 19, 2010, the Company sold 10,582,011 Preferred Offering Units consisting of (i) one share (“Preferred Share”) of Series E 7% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company, (ii) a warrant to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock (consisting of at issuance an aggregate of 1,322,486 warrants, adjusted to an aggregate of 1,353,214 as of June 30, 2011); and (iii) 0.0155 of a share of Common Stock (an aggregate of 164,418 shares). Each Preferred Offering Unit was priced at $0.945 and total gross and net proceeds received by the Company were $10,000,000 and $8,876,700, respectively.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Company to the holders of any other class or series of equity securities, the amount of $1.00 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.

Dividends on the Preferred Shares accrue at a rate of 7% per annum and are payable monthly in arrears. The Company is required to redeem 1/27 of the Preferred Shares monthly.

Monthly dividend and principal payments began on March 21, 2011 and continue on the 19th of each month thereafter with the final payment due on May 20, 2013. Payments can be made in cash or, upon notification to the holders, in shares of Company common stock, provided certain conditions are satisfied or holders of Preferred Shares agree to waive the conditions for that payment period. If the conditions are not satisfied, the Company must make payments in cash. Payments which are made in stock will be made in shares which are freely tradable. The price of the shares will be calculated based on 92% of the average of the lowest 5 days’ volume weighted average prices of the 20 trading days prior to the payment date, and the shares are delivered in tranches beginning in advance of the applicable payment date. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had issued 1,795,332 shares of Company common stock in payment of monthly dividends and principal, including required advanced payments.

The Company may pre-pay the outstanding balance of the Preferred Shares in full or in part (in increments of no less than $1,000,000) at 115% of the then outstanding balance, reducing to 110% after November 19, 2011, with notice of not less than thirty days and adequate opportunity to convert. If the Company chooses to pre-pay, the outstanding balance must be paid in cash and the premium may be paid in cash or shares of Company common stock.

Upon issuance, the Preferred Shares were convertible at an initial conversion price of $2.0004. The conversion price is subject to certain weighted average adjustments upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s common stock and if (with certain exceptions) the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or without consideration. As of June 30, 2011, the conversion price had been adjusted to $1.96.

An aggregate of $2,500,000 of the proceeds from the Preferred Offering was placed in escrow for a maximum of 2.5 years as security for the Company’s obligations relative to the Preferred Shares, and is included in other assets.

The characteristics of the Series E Preferred Stock: cumulative dividends, mandatory redemption, no voting rights, and callable by the Company, require that this instrument be treated as mezzanine equity. The Company bifurcated the fair value of the embedded conversion options and redemption options from the preferred stock since the conversion options and certain redemption options were determined to not be clearly and closely related to the Series E Preferred Stock. The Company recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion and redemption options as long-term derivative liabilities as the conversion price is not fixed and the forced redemption option contains substantial premiums over the stated dividend rate for the preferred stock. The Company also recorded the fair value of the warrants as a long-term derivative liability as the number of warrant shares and exercise price of the warrants is not fixed. The Series E Preferred Stock was discounted by the fair value of the derivatives liabilities. The fair value of the preferred stock (net of issuance costs and discounts), the embedded derivatives, and warrant derivative were approximately $5,901,800, $1,933,700 and $339,900, respectively, as of June 30, 2011. The Company will report changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives and warrant derivative in earnings within other income (expense), net. The discount and issuance costs on the preferred stock will be amortized through May 20, 2013 using the effective interest method and will be reflected within interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of approximately $348,000 and an increase in the warrant derivative of approximately $64,600. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of approximately $533,000 and a decrease in the warrant derivative of approximately $16,700.

Note 9 – Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock:

The authorized common stock of the Company is 500 million shares, par value $0.001 per share.

On March 3, 2011, the Company consummated a private placement pursuant to which five persons and entities acquired an aggregate of 2,343,750 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $3,000,000 (purchase price $1.28 per share).

Value of Common Stock Purchase Warrants Issued	$	73.0	$	439.1	$	321.1	$	739.4

The weighted average estimated fair value of warrants issued for services in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.73 and $0.87, respectively. The fair value of warrants at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term is based upon the contractual term of the warrants.

The range of assumptions used in calculating the fair values of warrants issued for services during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011	2010	2011	2010

The total fair value of shares vested for warrants issued for services during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $57,100 and $165,300, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $240,600 of total unrecognized service cost related to unvested warrants of which approximately $91,600 is related to warrants that vest over a weighted average life of 0.4 years. The remaining balance of unrecognized service cost of $149,000 is related to warrants that vest based on the accomplishment of business milestones as to which expense begins to be recognized when such milestones become probable of being achieved.

Options:

The Company’s 2003 Equity Participation Plan (the “2003 Equity Plan”) permits the grant of share options and shares to its employees, directors, consultants and advisors for up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock as stock-based compensation.

Pursuant to the amendment, (i) the term of the Agreement was extended from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012; (ii) Dr. Smith will receive cash bonuses on October 1, 2011 and 2012 in the minimum amount of 110% of the prior year’s bonus; (iii) a failure to renew the Agreement at the end of the term regardless of reason shall be treated as a termination by the Company without cause; (iv) the Company shall pay Dr. Smith her base salary and COBRA premiums (a) for one year in the event of a termination of the agreement by Dr. Smith for other than good reason and (b) during any period during which she is bound by non-competition, non-solicitation or similar covenants with the Company (such payments shall not be made during the time Dr. Smith is also receiving payments under (iii) or (iv)(a)); (v) Dr. Smith was granted an option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the amendment, vesting as to 500,000 shares on each of the date of grant, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012; (vi) all other unvested options held by Dr. Smith were immediately vested; (vii) any vested options previously or hereafter granted to Dr. Smith during the remainder of the term shall remain exercisable following termination of employment for the full option term until the expiration date; (viii) the Company agreed that, with the exception of the period of time during which Dr. Smith is a Company affiliate and for 90 days thereafter (during which time any shares owned by or issued to Dr. Smith will bear the Company’s standard affiliate legend), the Company will not place legends on shares on Common Stock owned by Dr. Smith restricting the transfer of such shares so long as such shares are sold under an effective registration statement, pursuant to Rule 144 or are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume limitations; and (ix) if Dr. Smith ceases to be employed by the Company and for so long as she continues to own shares of Common Stock the sale of which would require that the current public information requirement of Rule 144 be met, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to timely meet those requirements or obtain appropriate extensions or otherwise make available such information as is required. Except as set forth in the amendment, the Agreement remains unchanged. Pursuant to the modification on April 4, 2011 of Dr. Smith’s stock options, the Company recognized $723,000 of incremental compensation cost during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.21 and $1.14, respectively. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees.

The range of assumptions used in calculating the fair values of options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011	2010	2011	2010
Expected term (in years)	1 to 10	6 to 10	1 to 10	6 to 10

Expected volatility	75% - 83%	95% - 100%	75% - 85%	95% - 122%

Expected dividend yield	0%	0%	0%	0%

Risk-free interest rate	0.19% - 3.07%	2.32% - 3.58%	0.19% - 3.07%	2.32% - 3.80%

As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $10,005,100 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock option awards of which approximately $7,831,800 is related to stock options that vest over a weighted average life of 1.82 years. The remaining balance of unrecognized compensation costs of $2,173,300 is related to stock options that vest based on the accomplishment of business milestones which expense begins to be recognized when such milestones become probable of being achieved.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules limiting the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) to offset future taxable income following a corporate ownership change. The Company’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards is limited following a change in ownership in excess of fifty percentage points during any three-year period.

Since the year 2000, the Company has had several changes in ownership which has resulted in a limitation on the Company’s ability to apply net operating losses to future taxable income. As of December 31, 2010 the Company has lost $21,973,200, or $7,470,900 in tax benefits, of net operating losses applicable to Federal income taxes which expired due to these limitations. At December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $39,590,500 applicable to future Federal income taxes. The tax loss carryforwards are subject to annual limitations and expire at various dates through 2030. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset because it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

At June 30, 2011, Erye owed EET, the 49% shareholder of Erye, $20,009,600 which represents dividends paid and loaned back to Erye. At June 30, 2011 the interest rate on this loan was 6.06%. In June 2011 Erye paid EET approximately $875,100 consisting of the net of the following: $1,115,000 of unpaid accrued interest at June 30, 2011, approximately $408,700 repayment of a non interest bearing loan due in 2011 and recovery of cash advances to EET of approximately $648,600.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Erye Joint Venture Agreement, dividend distributions to EET and the Company’s NeoStem subsidary will be made in proportion to their respective ownership interests in Erye; provided, however, that for the three-year period commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter after the Joint Venture Agreement became effective distributions are made as follows: for undistributed profits generated subsequent to the acquisition date: (i) the 49% of undistributed profits (after tax) of the joint venture due EET will be distributed to EET and lent back to Erye to help finance costs in connection with its construction of and relocation to a new facility; and (ii) of the net profit (after tax) of the joint venture due the Company, 45% will be provided to Erye as part of the new facility construction fund and will be characterized as additional paid-in capital for the Company’s 51% interest in Erye, and 6% will be distributed to the Company. For undistributed profits generated prior to the acquisition date: (i) the 49% of undistributed profits (after tax) of the joint venture due EET will be distributed to EET and lent back to Erye to help finance costs in connection with its construction of and relocation to a new facility; and (ii) of the net profit (after tax) of the joint venture due the Company, 51% will be provided to Erye as part of the new facility construction fund and will be characterized as additional paid-in capital for the Company’s 51% interest in Erye.

In April 2011, a dividend totaling $10,259,700 based on earnings for Fiscal Year 2010 was declared and approximately $5,027,300 was distributed to EET and lent back to Erye, and approximately $5,232,400 due the Company was reinvested and re-characterized as additional paid-in capital in the business. A 10% withholding tax was required on dividends payable to the Company. As a result, Erye withheld approximately $1,220,500 in taxes related to the Company’s fiscal year 2009 and 2010 dividend amounts, of which approximately $526,600 has not been paid to the local Chinese tax authorities as of June 30, 2011.

This serves as the Company’s corporate headquarters. The base monthly rent, which includes storage space, is currently approximately $21,500 per month, scheduled to increase to approximately $22,000 in July 2011. Pursuant to this lease, the Company is obligated to pay on a monthly basis fixed annual rent and certain items as additional rent including utility payments. The security deposit for this property was approximately $157,100.

In September 2009, the Company entered into an agreement for the lease of space from Rivertech Associates II, LLC, c/o The Abbey Group at 840 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Massachusetts with a lease term effective September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2012 (“Main Lease”). The space is being used for general office, research and development, and laboratory space. The base rent under this lease is currently $29,737 per month, scheduled to increase to $30,750 per month in September 2011. In addition, the Company is responsible for certain costs and charges specified in the lease, including utilities, operating expenses and real estate taxes. The security deposit was $84,141. In May 2011, the Company sublet a portion of the Cambridge facility to another life science company. Monthly-fixed rent under the sublease is approximately $9,333 and the sublet pays certain other expenses. The Company is assessing its need for the Cambridge facility going forward given the acquisition of PCT with its Allendale, NJ and Mountain View, CA facilities.

In May 2009, Qingdao Niao Bio-Technology, one of the Company’s VIEs in China, entered into leases (assigned to NeoStem (China) in February 2010) with Beijing Zhong-guan-cun Life Science Park Development Corp., Ltd. pursuant to which NeoStem (China) is leasing laboratory, office and storage space in Beijing for the aggregate monthly amount of approximately $23,000. Lease payments are due quarterly in advance, and upon entering into the lease a three month security deposit was also paid. The term of the leases is for approximately three years. The Beijing Facility is located at the Life Science Innovation Center, Life Science Park, Zhongguancum, Beijing.

Qingdao Niao Bio-Technology had been leasing office space in Qingdao since August 2009. The most recent lease was effective through September 2011 at a monthly rent of approximately $1,300, payable as to half the total lease amount by September 2010 and as to the remaining half in March 2011. Qingdao Niao Bio-Technology’s operations have relocated to Tianjin to take advantage of tax and other concessions that are being made available and in May 2011 the Qingdao lease was terminated. In connection therewith, Tianjin Niou Bio-Technology entered into a one year lease for office space in Tianjin at a monthly rent of approximately $5,000 payable quarterly.

In September 2005, PCT entered into a one-year lease directly with Vanni Business Park, LLC, the landlord for the Mountain View, California laboratory space leasing the entire building. This new lease commenced July 1, 2006, with monthly base rent of $26,275. In July 2006, PCT entered into an agreement to amend this lease and extended the term through June 30, 2012, for an initial monthly base rent of $33,782 with yearly escalations thereafter.

The Company leases office and laboratory facilities and certain equipment under certain noncancelable operating leases that expire from time to time through 2015. A summary of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

Years ended	Operating Leases
2011	$	499.5
2012		723.2
2013		384.3
2014		104.2
2015		53.5
Thereafter		28.8
Total minimum lease payments	$	1,793.5

Expense incurred under operating leases was approximately $724,600 and $1,137,200 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $211,400 and $616,500 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Contingencies:

Under license agreements with third parties the Company is typically required to pay maintenance fees, make milestone payments and/or pay other fees and expenses and pay royalties upon commercialization of products. The Company also sponsors research at various academic institutions, which research agreements generally provide us with an option to license new technology discovered during the course of the sponsored research.

In connection with the issuance to investors and service providers of many of the shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase common stock previously disclosed and described herein, the Company granted the holders registration rights providing for the registration of such shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying warrants on a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) so as to permit the resale of those shares. Certain of the registration rights agreements provided for penalties for failure to file or failure to obtain an effective registration statement. With respect to satisfying its obligations to the holders of these registration rights, the Company has been in various situations. The Company had previously filed a registration statement as required for some of the holders, and in May 2011 filed a registration statement for all of the holders (except for holders whose shares of Common Stock are currently salable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or who waived certain rights), but to date, such registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC. Certain holders who had outstanding registration rights had previously waived their registration rights or were subject to lock-up agreements. No holder has yet asserted any claim against the Company with respect to a failure to satisfy any registration obligations. Were someone to assert a claim against the Company for breach of registration obligations, the Company believes it has several defenses that would result in relieving it from some or any liability, although no assurances can be given. The Company also notes that damage claims may be limited, as (i) most shares of Common Stock as to which registration rights attached are currently salable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or are otherwise currently subject to other restrictions on sale and (ii) during much of the relevant periods the warrants with registration rights generally have been out of the money, were subject to lock-up agreements and/or the underlying shares of Common Stock were otherwise subject to restrictions on resale. Accordingly, were holders to assert claims against the Company based on breach of the Company’s obligation to register, the Company believes that the Company’s maximum exposure from non-related parties would not be material.

Xiangbei Welman Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. v Suzhou Erye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Hunan Weichu Pharmacy Co., Ltd. involves a patent infringement dispute with respect to a particular antibiotics complex manufactured by Erye (the “Product”). The Changsha Intermediate People’s Court in Hunan Province, PRC in the foregoing case rendered a judgment on May 13, 2010 against Erye as follows: (i) awarding plaintiff Xiangbei Welman damages and costs of approximately 5 million RMB (approximately $758,500) against Erye which was fully accrued for at June 30, 2011; and (ii) enjoining Erye from manufacturing, marketing and selling the Product. The Product represented approximately 3.9% and 2.4%, respectively, of Erye’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Erye has appealed the court judgment, and is also engaged in settlement negotiations. On March 21, 2011, Changsha Intermediate Court issued a civil decision suspending the execution of the Preliminary Injunction. Therefore, Erye is currently free to produce, sell or offer to sell the product. Following the filing of the patent infringement dispute, in 2009 Xiangbei Welman brought a copyright infringement lawsuit against Erye claiming the package inserts with respect to the Product infringed upon their copyright and Erye was enjoined from copying and using the package inserts on the Product and selling the Product with the package inserts and Xiangbei Welman was awarded 50,000 RMB, or approximately $7,700. In July 2011, a new copyright infringement lawsuit was brought by Xiangbei Welman against Erye claiming that Erye was not complying with the earlier judgment enjoining them from copying and using the package inserts for the Product. The Changsha Intermediate Court was applied to for property preservation and it issued a civil decision freezing Erye’s bank deposits of up to 50 million RMB, or approximately $7.7 million, or sealing up or detaining Erye’s other properties of equal value. Currently this case is pending. As of August 10, 2011, approximately $617,200 of cash has been frozen in certain bank accounts.

The Company has determined that it did not obtain all Chinese regulatory approvals (and associated registrations) required to reflect the legal title of its interest in Erye as being held by the proper entity within our group which is its current beneficial owner as that term is used under U.S. law. The Company is determining what governmental approvals (and associated registrations) will need to be issued by the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Foreign Investment and Commerce and the Suzhou Administration for Industry and Commerce to remediate these deficiencies. The Company believes these regulatory deficiencies can be remediated within a reasonable period of time and should not delay a possible divestiture of the Company’s interests in Erye that is currently under evaluation. However, no assurance can be given that any unremediated regulatory deficiencies would not have an adverse effect on its operating results and liquidity, and will not impede or delay efforts to divest the Company’s interest in Erye. In addition, the remediation process is expected to trigger certain tax liabilities and penalties, however the ultimate liability will be based on future discussions with the relevant Chinese authorities. At this time the Company does not expect such amounts to be material.

On May 19, 2006, PCT entered into a line of credit agreement with Amorcyte Inc. (“Amorcyte”), an entity which was spun out of PCT in 2006, whereby PCT agreed to loan Amorcyte up to $500,000 at an annual interest rate of 5%. The line of credit agreement was a condition to Amorcyte closing a Series A Preferred Stock Financing completed during 2006. The Company has not loaned any amount to Amorcyte under this agreement through June 30, 2011. The line of credit agreement expires on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company declares the outstanding principal and accrued interest due and payable based on an event of default as defined within the agreement, or (ii) the date of closing of the first debt or equity financing of Amorcyte following the initial borrowing of the principal. These events have not occurred to date. On July 14, 2011, the Company entered into a merger agreement whereby it will acquire Amorcyte. See Note 14. If the proposed merger with Amorcyte discussed below is approved, this line of credit will be cancelled.

Note 14 – Subsequent Events

Amorcyte Merger

On July 14, 2011, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement whereby it will acquire Amorcyte, Inc. ("Amorcyte"), a development stage cell therapy company focusing on novel treatments for cardiovascular disease. Amorcyte's lead product candidate, AMR-001, is ready to initiate a Phase II study for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The definitive merger agreement provides for the issuance of an aggregate of 6,821,283 shares of Common Stock (subject to downward adjustment, to be held in escrow for eventual distribution to the former Amorcyte security holders) and seven year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,881,008 shares of Common Stock at $1.466 per share (the transfer of any shares issued upon exercise of these warrants will be restricted until one year after the closing date). Up to an additional 4,092,768 shares of Common Stock will be issued if and only if specified AMR-001 milestones are achieved. Amorcyte security holders are entitled to receive additional consideration in the form of an earn out based upon net reveneues of AMR-001, if AMR-001 is commercialized. Holders of greater than 50% of Amorcyte's outstanding voting power have agreed to vote in favor of the merger. The closing of the merger is subject to various conditions, including the approval by Amorcyte stockholders of the merger and the merger agreement, and approval by NeoStem stockholders of the issuance of NeoStem's securities in the merger.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” herein and under ”Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 . The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Overview

NeoStem, Inc. is an international biopharmaceutical company operating in three reportable segments: (i) Cell Therapy — United States; (ii) Regenerative Medicine — China; and (iii) Pharmaceutical Manufacturing — China.

Through the Cell Therapy — United States segment, we are focused on the development of proprietary cellular therapies in oncology, immunology and regenerative medicine and becoming a single source for collection, storage, manufacturing, therapeutic development and transportation of cells for cell based medicine and regenerative science globally. Within this segment, we also are a provider of adult stem cell collection, processing and storage services in the U.S., enabling healthy individuals to donate and store their stem cells for personal therapeutic use. During 2010, we expanded our network of adult stem cell collection centers to include ten centers throughout the country.

We strengthened our expertise in cellular therapies with our January 19, 2011 acquisition of Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PCT”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the membership interests of PCT, and PCT is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem. PCT is engaged in a wide 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, regulatory consulting, product characterization and comparability, and storage, distribution, manufacturing and transportation of cell therapy products. PCT’s legacy business relationships also afford NeoStem introductions to innovative therapeutic programs. Also, through the PCT acquisition, NeoStem now owns approximately an 80% interest in Athelos, a company developing a T-cell based immunomodulatory therapeutic. Athelos expects to initiate Phase I studies in autoimmune disorders in 2012. We view the PCT acquisition as fundamental to building a foundation for achieving our strategic mission of capturing the paradigm shift to cell therapy.

Through our Regenerative Medicine — China segment, in 2009, we began several China-based, Regenerative Medicine initiatives including: (i) creating a separate China-based cell therapy operation, (ii) constructing a stem cell research and development laboratory and processing facility in Beijing, (iii) establishing relationships with hospitals to provide cell-based therapies, and (iv) obtaining product licenses covering several adult stem cell therapeutics focused on regenerative medicine.

We acquired our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing — China segment when on October 30, 2009, China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (“CBH”) merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem (the “Erye Merger”). As a result of the Erye Merger, NeoStem acquired CBH’s 51% ownership interest in Erye, a Sino-foreign joint venture with limited liability organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Erye was founded more than 50 years ago and represents an established, vertically-integrated pharmaceutical business. Historically, Erye has concentrated its efforts on the manufacturing and distribution of generic antibiotic products. In 2010, Erye began transferring its operations to its newly constructed manufacturing facility. The relocation is continuing as the new production lines are completed and receive cGMP certification through 2011. The relocation is significantly increasing Erye’s manufacturing capacity and allowing for growth in line with rising demand as a result of healthcare reform in China today. As part of its plan to focus its business on capturing the paradigm shift to cell therapies following the January 2011 acquisition of PCT, the Company is pursuing strategic alternatives with respect to its interest in Erye.

To support our liquidity needs, the Company raised an aggregate of approximately $5.6 million in private placements of Common Stock from March 2011 to June 2011. In addition, on July 6, 2011, three key Amorcyte stockholders (including a fund managed by an Amorcyte director) invested an aggregate of $728,000 in a private placement of 568,750 shares of Common Stock (purchase price $1.28 per share) and on July 22, 2011, the Company completed an underwritten offering of 13,750,000 units at a purchase price of $1.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and a five year warrant to purchase 0.75 of a share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.45 per share (the “Offering”). The Company received gross proceeds of $16,500,000, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, total revenues were approximately $18,460,700 compared to approximately $19,407,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - China	$	16,151.2	$	19,369.7
Cell Therapy - United States		2,210.8		37.8
Regenerative Medicine - China		98.7		-
	$	18,460.7	$	19,407.5

Revenues for our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China reporting segment were approximately $16,151,200, representing a decrease of approximately $3,218,500 or 17%. This decrease was primarily due to a strategic decision by management to discontinue selling certain pharmaceutical intermediates to other pharmaceutical manufacturers, in order to create capacity within the existing production lines for higher margin products in the future. As an example, in Q1 2011 Erye introduced two new products, omeprazole and cloxacillin which are expected to contribute to higher margins than the discontinued pharmaceutical intermediates, and we have several other products under development that may be introduced over the next 3 to 4 years. Revenues from sales of antibiotics, cephalosporins and other therapeutic products declined approximately 4% compared to the same period for 2010 and the average price of antibiotics and cephalosporins decreased revenues by approximately 1%, which were offset by increased revenues from sales resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates between the Chinese RMB and United States dollar by approximately 5%. We recognize that there will be continuous price pressure on Erye as over 70% of Erye’s manufactured drugs are on China’s essential drug list. There has recently been evidence of such price pressure – i.e., on March 2, 2011 the National Development and Reform Commission issued price cuts for medical insurance drugs which substantially impacts two of Erye’s drugs. We anticipate that Piperacillin Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium will experience as much as a 50% price decline while the price of Ligustrazine Phosphate may be reduced by approximately 75%. As of June 30, 2011 the price reduction experienced by Erye on these products was less than 20%. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 Piperacillin Sodium and Sulbactum Sodium accounted for approximately 4% of sales and Ligustrazine Phosphate accounted for approximately 1% of sales. In addition, we understand that the Ministry of Health of the PRC has internally proposed regulations which would seek to classify antibiotics into categories, including limited and special use categories, which may have the effect of limiting sales volume of certain antibiotics by Erye. These regulations have not been finalized but that lack of information has created uncertainty on the part of distributors and has reduced purchases by distributors until regulations have been published and in part have contributed to sales reductions in Q2, 2011.

The increase in revenue for our Cell Therapy – United States reporting segment is due to revenues generated by PCT which was acquired in January 2011, and whose revenues totaled approximately $1,989,200.

The cost of revenue was approximately $13,517,700, representing an increase of approximately $605,900 compared with the prior year period. The cost of revenue in the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China reporting segment was approximately $11,695,700, and decreased 9% over the same period in 2010. The strategic decision to discontinue manufacturing low margin pharmaceutical intermediates in order to free up capacity for higher margin products in the future decreased the cost of manufacturing by 17%. This reduction in cost was partially offset by increases in the cost of manufacturing of antibiotics and cephalosporins and other therapeutic products of approximately 3% due to the impact of the increased costs associated with the new plant and an increase in amortization expense associated with intangible assets acquired in the Erye Merger. This increase in manufacturing costs is expected to continue to have a negative impact until an increase in sales of higher margin products is realized. Increases in the exchange rate between the Chinese RMB and the United States dollar increased cost of revenue by 5%. The cost of revenue for Cell Therapy – United States reporting segment was $1,790,700 an increase of approximately $1,757,700, principally related to the cost of revenue for PCT and the cost of revenue for Regenerative Medicine – China reporting segment constituted the remaining balance.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, total revenues were approximately $38,101,800 compared to approximately $35,240,700 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - China	$	34,293.0	$	35,144.2
Cell Therapy - United States		3,660.0		96.5
Regenerative Medicine - China		148.8		-
	$	38,101.8	$	35,240.7

Revenues for our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China reporting segment were approximately $34,293,000, representing a decrease of approximately $851,200 or 2%. This decrease was primarily due to a strategic decision by management to discontinue selling certain pharmaceutical intermediates to other pharmaceutical manufacturers, in order to create capacity within the existing production lines for higher margin products in the future. Revenues from sales of antibiotics, cephalosporins and other therapeutic products increased approximately 6%. The increase was primarily realized in the three months ended March 31, 2011, and was due to Erye’s expanded distribution network, additional market coverage, and concurrent with the general increase in demand for pharmaceutical products in China. The balance of the change in revenue from sales year over year is due to increases in the exchange rate between the Chinese RMB and the United States dollar which increased sales volume 4%. Overall the average price of products sold for the six months ended June 30, 2011 did not change in comparison to products sold in the same period last year. However, we recognize that there will be continuous price pressure on Erye as over 70% of Erye’s manufactured drugs are on China’s essential drug list. There has recently been evidence of such price pressure – i.e., on March 2, 2011 the National Development and Reform Commission issued price cuts for medical insurance drugs which substantially impacts two of Erye’s drugs. We anticipate that Piperacillin Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium will experience as much as a 50% price decline while the price of Ligustrazine Phosphate may be reduced by approximately 75%. As of June 30, 2011 the price reduction experienced by Erye on these products was less than 20%. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 Piperacillin Sodium and Sulbactum Sodium accounted for approximately 2% of sales and Ligustrazine Phosphate accounted for approximately 4 % of sales. In addition, we understand that the Ministry of Health of the PRC has internally proposed regulations which would seek to classify antibiotics into categories, including limited and special use categories, which may have the effect of limiting sales volume of certain antibiotics by Erye. These regulations have not been finalized but that lack of information has created uncertainty on the part of distributors and has reduced purchases by distributors until regulations have been published and in part have contributed to sales reductions in Q2, 2011.

The cost of revenue was approximately $27,812,400, representing an increase of approximately $4,048,900 compared with the prior year period. The cost of revenue for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China reporting segment was approximately $24,302,000, representing an increase of 3% over the same period in 2010. The strategic decision to discontinue low margin pharmaceutical intermediates and free up capacity for higher margin products in the future decreased the cost of manufacturing by 17.5%; however, this reduction in cost was significantly offset by increases in the cost of manufacturing of antibiotics and cephalosporins and other therapeutic products resulting from the impact of the increased costs associated with the new plant and an increase in amortization expense associated with intangible assets acquired in the Erye Merger. This increase in manufacturing costs is expected to continue to have a negative impact until an increase in sales of higher margin products is realized. Increases in the exchange rate between the Chinese RMB and the United States dollar increased cost of revenue by 4%. The cost of revenue for Cell Therapy – United States reporting segment was approximately $3,473,500 and the cost of revenue for Regenerative Medicine – China reporting segment constituted the remaining balance.

Operating Expenses

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 operating expenses totaled approximately $14,961,500 compared to approximately $9,998,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, representing an increase of approximately $4,962,900 or 50%.

Historically, to minimize our use of cash, we have used a variety of equity and equity-linked instruments to pay for services and to incentivize employees, consultants and other service providers. The use of these instruments has resulted in significant charges to the results of operations. In general, these equity and equity-linked instruments were used to pay for employee and consultant compensation, director fees, marketing services, investor relations and other activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the use of equity and equity-linked instruments to pay for such expenses resulted in charges to selling, general, administrative, and research expenses of approximately $4,556,300, representing an increase of approximately $2,342,000 over the three months ended June 30, 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our selling, general, and administrative expenses were approximately $12,591,000 compared to approximately $7,856,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, representing an increase of approximately $4,725,500 or 60%. Equity-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $4,198,800, compared to approximately $1,616,900 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Overall, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the following:

An increase of approximately $4,121,400 in the Cell Therapy – United States reporting segment, comprised of (i) an increase of approximately $2,581,900 related to employee, directors and consultants equity compensation, including approximately $722,900 related to the modification of stock option awards to our CEO in April 2011; (ii) an increase of approximately $1,107,300 related to new operating expenses as a result of our acquisition of PCT in January 2011; (iii) an increase of approximately $682,900 in legal, accounting and other professional fees, including expenses relating to the Company’s strategic shift towards cell therapy initiatives; and (iv) an increase of approximately $399,300 in general corporate activities. These increases were partially offset by an approximately $650,000 decrease in selling and marketing expenses in connection with our adult stem cell collection efforts.

An increase of approximately $393,700 in our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China reporting segment, which is primarily due to an approximately $461,700 increase in taxes related to withholding taxes paid on dividends declared in April 2011 that were retained in the business.

An increase of approximately $210,500 in our Regenerative Medicine – China reporting segment.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our research and development expenses were approximately $2,370,500 compared to approximately $2,133,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, representing an increase of approximately $237,300 or 11%. Equity-based compensation included in research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were approximately $357,500, compared to approximately $597,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Overall, the increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to the following:

A decrease of approximately $134,800 in the Cell Therapy – United States reporting segment as a result of reduced internal research activities in our VSEL™ Technology, subletting a portion of the VSEL laboratory and focusing on supporting VSEL research activities with our external research collaborators.

An increase of approximately $503,300 in our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China reporting segment as a result of increased clinical development efforts on products under development.

An decrease of approximately $131,200 in our Regenerative Medicine – China reporting segment due to the recovery of certain expenses incurred in prior years that were refunded to us during the quarter, offset by increased costs of operating the Beijing laboratory.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 operating expenses totaled approximately $28,299,700 compared to approximately $17,588,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, representing an increase of approximately $10,711,200 or 61%. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the use of equity and equity-linked instruments to pay for such expenses resulted in charges to selling, general, administrative, and research expenses of $6,455,100, representing an increase of approximately $2,506,600 over the six months ended June 30, 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our selling, general, and administrative expenses were approximately $23,016,000 compared to approximately $14,155,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, representing an increase of approximately $8,861,000 or 63%.

An increase of approximately $1,208,000 in our Cell Therapy – United States reporting segment, comprised primarily of an in-process research and development charge of approximately $927,000 related to the acquisition of certain intellectual properties in the area of T-Cell regulation from Becton, Dickinson and Company in March 2011.

An increase of approximately $615,400 in our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – China reporting segment as a result of increased clinical development efforts on products under development.

An decrease of approximately $26,800 in our Regenerative Medicine – China reporting segment due to the recovery of certain expenses incurred in prior years that were refunded to us during the quarter, offset by increased costs of operating the Beijing laboratory.

Other Income and Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $1,009,700 and $1,862,300, respectively, compared with approximately $6,200 and $14,700 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily related to amortization of debt discount of approximately $653,100 and $1,329,200 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, associated with the Convertible Redeemable Series E Preferred Stock that was issued in November 2010, which is being accounted for as mezzanine equity. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, interest expense of approximately $312,900 and $526,300 respectively was recorded as a result of a loan to Erye from its minority shareholder of which approximately $105,600 and $235,700, respectively was capitalized as part of the cost of construction of Erye’s new manufacturing plant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, interest of approximately $96,300 and $130,800 respectively was interest expense associated with bank loans obtained by Erye totaling approximately $7,735,000 at June 30, 2011. In addition, interest expense includes, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, interest of approximately $50,700 and $94,400 respectively for mortgage loans for PCT’s Allendale facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we spent approximately $5,237,100 for property and equipment principally related to the construction of Eyre’s new manufacturing facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we spent approximately $8.6 million for property and equipment. Erye was building a new production facility and during the six months ended June 30, 2010, $8.2 million was spent on construction. In March 2010, we initiated construction of our stem cell laboratory in Beijing and spent $770,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The balance of our capital expenditures was spent on equipping our laboratory in Boston and other Company stem cell operations in China.

Financing Activities

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

The Company’s Erye subsidiary has approximately $10,962,900 of notes payables as of June 30, 2011 and approximately $9,451,500 of notes payable as of December 31, 2010. Notes are payable to the banks who issue bank notes to Erye’s creditors. Notes payable are interest free and usually mature after a three to six months period. In order to issue notes payable on behalf of Erye, the banks required collateral, such as cash deposits which were approximately 30%-50% of the value of notes to be issued, or properties owned by Erye. At June 30, 2011, $4,897,400 of restricted cash was deposited as collateral for the balance of notes payable which was approximately 44.7% of the notes payable Erye issued, and the remainder of the notes payable is collateralized by pledging the land use right Erye owns. The use of notes payable to pay creditors is a feature of the money and banking system of China and we expect these types of notes to be a continuing feature of Erye’s capital structure.

In March 2011, Erye obtained a loan of approximately $1,547,000 from the China Merchants Bank with a variable interest rate that is currently 6.06% and is due in September 2011. The interest rate is tied to the People’s Bank of China benchmark rate; the maximum interest rate on the loan is 12.00%. In May 2011, Erye obtained an additional bank loan of approximately $3,094,000 from the Commercial Bank of China with a variable interest rate that is currently 7.02% and is due in November 2011. The interest rate is tied to the People’s Bank of China benchmark rate.

On March 3, 2011, the Company consummated a private placement pursuant to which five persons and entities acquired an aggregate of 2,343,750 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $3,000,000 (purchase price $1.28 per share). On April 5, 2011, the Company consummated a private placement pursuant to which nine persons and entities acquired an aggregate of 1,244,375 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $1,592,800 (purchase price $1.28 per share). On June 13, 2011, the Company consummated a private placement pursuant to which one entity acquired 781,250 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $1,000,000 (purchase price $1.28 per share).

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Erye Joint Venture Agreement, dividend distributions to EET and our NeoStem subsidary will be made in proportion to their respective ownership interests in Erye; provided, however, that for the three-year period commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter after the Joint Venture Agreement became effective distributions are made as follows: for undistributed profits generated subsequent to the acquisition date: (i) the 49% of undistributed profits (after tax) of the joint venture due EET will be distributed to EET and lent back to Erye to help finance costs in connection with its construction of and relocation to a new facility; and (ii) of the net profit (after tax) of the joint venture due the Company, 45% will be provided to Erye as part of the new facility construction fund and will be characterized as additional paid-in capital for the Company’s 51% interest in Erye, and 6% will be distributed to the Company. For undistributed profits generated prior to the acquisition date: (i) the 49% of undistributed profits (after tax) of the joint venture due EET will be distributed to EET and lent back to Erye to help finance costs in connection with its construction of and relocation to a new facility; and (ii) of the net profit (after tax) of the joint venture due the Company, 51% will be provided to Erye as part of the new facility construction fund and will be characterized as additional paid-in capital for the Company’s 51% interest in Erye. In January 2011, a dividend totaling approximately $13,671,100 based on earnings for Fiscal Year 2009 was declared and approximately $6,698,800 was distributed to EET and lent back to Erye and approximately $6,972,300 due the Company was reinvested and re-characterized as additional paid-in capital in the business. In April 2011, a dividend totaling $10,259,700 based on earnings for Fiscal Year 2010 was declared and approximately $5,027,300 was distributed to EET and lent back to Erye, and approximately $5,232,400 due the Company was reinvested and re-characterized, as additional paid-in capital in the business. As of June 30, 2011 these loans due EET totaled approximately $20,009,600. When the construction of Eyre’s plant is completed the loans due EET will be repaid in accordance with the joint venture agreement in a gradual manner. In June 2011 Eyre paid EET approximately $875,100 consisting of the net of the following: $1,115,000 of unpaid accrued interest at June 30, 2011, approximately $408,700 repayment of a non interest bearing loan due in 2011 and recovery of cash advances to EET of approximately $648,600.

In connection with the Company’s focus on the development of proprietary cellular therapies through its Cell Therapy – United States segment, the Company has certain financial obligations in connection with the development of specified licensed technology. Athelos is pursuing the development of T regulatory cells (TRegs) as a therapeutic to treat disorders of the immune system under certain patent rights licensed from the University of Pennsylvania and ExCell Therapeutics, LLC. Under a license agreement with the University of Louisville Research Foundation (“ULRF”), the Company is developing the VSEL Technology. These licensing arrangements require the Company to make various payments in connection with the development of the products, including certain upfront payments, payments for patent filings and related applications, payments in connection with milestones achieved in the development of the products, royalties on sales and certain other related payments. The Company anticipates that in connection with its focus on the development of proprietary cellular therapies other licensing agreements with comparable terms may be entered into.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

In December 2009, in order to facilitate working capital requirements, in local currency, in China, NeoStem (China) issued a promissory note to the Bank of Rizhao Qingdao Branch in the amount of 4,400,000 RMB (approximately $645,500). The note, bearing an interest rate of 4.05%, was due on June 21, 2010 and paid in full in April 2010. On May 25, 2010 NeoStem (China) issued a promissory note to the Bank of Rizhao Qingdao Branch in the amount of 3,600,000 RMB (approximately $527,400) due November 25, 2010 and bearing interest at 4.86% per annum. The loan is collateralized by cash in a restricted bank account totaling 4,074,500 RMB (approximately $600,200).

The Company’s subsidiary Erye has 69,749,400 RMB (approximately $10,274,000) of notes payables as of June 30, 2010 and 62,457,000 RMB (approximately $9,150,000) of notes payable as of December 31, 2009. Notes are payable to the banks who issue bank notes to Erye’s creditors. Notes payable are interest free and usually mature after a three to six months period. In order to issue notes payable on behalf of Erye, the banks required collateral, such as cash deposits which were approximately 30%-50% of the value of notes to be issued, or properties owned by Erye. At June 30, 2010, 23,734,500 RMB (approximately $3,496,100) of restricted cash was put up for collateral for the balance of notes payable which was approximately 34% of the notes payable the Company issued, and the remaining of the notes payable is collateralized by pledging the land use right the Company owns. The use of notes payable to pay creditors is a feature of the money and banking system of China and we expect these types of notes to be a continuing feature of Erye’s capital structure.

On February 18, 2010 the Company completed a public offering of its common stock, selling 5,750,000 shares priced at $1.35 per share. The Company received approximately $6,822,000 in net proceeds from the offering, after underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses, of approximately $940,000 of which 463,000 was unpaid.

On March 15, 2010, the Company and RimAsia made certain agreements with respect to outstanding warrants. RimAsia exercised its warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Common Stock ”), exercisable at a per share exercise price of $1.75, which was issued to RimAsia in a private placement completed by the Company in September 2008. This exercise resulted in proceeds to the Company totaling $1,750,000. The condition for such exercise was that the Company would modify certain terms of RimAsia’s warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, issued to RimAsia in a private placement completed by the Company in April 2009 (the “Series D Warrant”). The Series D Warrant was amended to provide for (i) a three (3) year extension of the Termination Date (as defined in the Series D Warrant) from September 1, 2013 to September 1, 2016 and (ii) an increase in the average closing price that triggers the Company’s redemption option under the Series D Warrant from $3.50 to $5.00.

On May 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Commerce Court Small Cap Value Fund, Ltd., which provides that, subject to certain terms and conditions, Commerce Court is committed to purchase up to $20,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock over a term of approximately 24 months. The Purchase Agreement provides that at the Company’s discretion, it may present Commerce Court with draw down notices under this $20 million equity line of credit arrangement from time to time, to purchase the Company’s Common Stock, provided certain price requirements are met and limited to 2.5% of the Company’s market capitalization at the time of such draw down. The per share purchase price for these shares will equal the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on each date during the draw down period on which shares are purchased, less a discount of 5.0%. The Purchase Agreement also provides that the Company in its sole discretion may grant Commerce Court the right to exercise one or more options to purchase additional shares of Common Stock during each draw down period at a price which would be based on a discount calculated in the same manner as it is calculated in the draw down notice. The issuance of shares of common stock to Commerce Court pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the sale of those shares from time to time by Commerce Court to the public, are covered by an effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC.

On May 27, 2010, the Company presented Commerce Court with a Draw Down Notice. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the shares were offered at a discount price to Commerce Court mutually agreed upon by the parties under the Purchase Agreement equal to 95.0% of the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the Pricing Period or a 5% discount. Pursuant to the Draw Down Notice, the Company also granted Commerce Court the right to exercise one or more options to purchase additional shares of common stock during the Pricing Period, based on the trading price of the common stock. The Company settled with Commerce Court on the purchase of 685,226 shares of common stock under the terms of the Draw Down Notice and the Purchase Agreement at an aggregate purchase price of $1.8 million, or approximately $2.63 per share, on June 7, 2010. The Company and Commerce Court agreed to waive the minimum threshold price of $3.00 per share set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Company received net proceeds from the sale of these shares of approximately $1.7 million after deducting its offering expenses.

Effective June 1, 2010, Fullbright exercised a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. This warrant was issued to Fullbright in a private placement of securities by the Company in November 2008. The exercise price was $1.75 per share, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $700,000.

On June 25, 2010, the Company entered into definitive securities purchase agreements with investors in a public offering, pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to sell, an aggregate of 2,325,582 Units, consisting of an aggregate of 2,325,582 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 581,394 shares of Common Stock. The offering closed on June 30, 2010 with gross proceeds of $5.0 million. Each Unit was priced at $2.15 and consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant which will allow the investor to purchase 0.25 shares of common stock at a per share price of $2.75. The warrants may be called by the Company in the event that the common stock trades over $4.50 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants were exercisable on the date of the closing and will expire 2 years thereafter. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the exercise price of the warrants are adjustable in the event of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, reorganizations, liquidations, consolidation, acquisition of the Company (whether through merger or acquisition of substantially all the assets or stock of the Company) or similar events. The net proceeds to the Company from such offering, after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and expenses, the Company’s estimated offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants issued in the offering were approximately $4.55 million.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Joint Venture Agreement, dividend distributions to EET and Merger Sub will be made in proportion to their respective ownership interests in Erye; provided, however, that for the three-year period commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter after the Joint Venture Agreement becomes effective distributions will be made as follows: (i) the 49% of undistributed profits (after tax) of the joint venture due EET will be distributed to EET and lent back to Erye to help finance costs in connection with their construction of and relocation to a new facility; and (ii) of the net profit (after tax) of the joint venture due Merger Sub, 45% will be provided to Erye as part of the new facility construction fund and will be characterized as paid-in capital for Merger Sub’s 51% interest in Erye, and 6% will be distributed to Merger Sub directly. At June 30, 2010 these loans totaled $7,702,800 plus accrued interest of $227,500. The loan calls for interest to accrue at rate of 5% annually. In addition, during the second quarter EET received an interest payment of approximately $192,000.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements Outlook

With our acquisition of a controlling interest in Erye and expansion into China, and our acquisition of PCT, we have transitioned from being a one-dimensional U.S. service provider with nominal revenues to being a multi-dimensional international biopharmaceutical company with current revenues and operations in three distinct segments: (i) Cell Therapy — United States; (ii) Regenerative Medicine — China; and (iii) Pharmaceutical Manufacturing — China. The following is an overview of our collective liquidity and capital requirements.

Capital Requirements and Resources in China

Erye has substantially completed the construction of its new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility and began transferring its operations in January 2010. The relocation is continuing as the new production lines are completed and receive cGMP certification through 2011. In January 2010, Suzhou Erye received notification that the SFDA has approved Suzhou Erye’s application for cGMP certification to manufacture solvent crystallization sterile penicillin and freeze dried raw sterile penicillin at the new facility, which provides 50% and 100% greater manufacturing capacity, respectively, than its original facility. In June 2010, Suzhou Erye passed the government inspection by the SFDA to manufacture penicillin and cephalosporin powder for injection at the new facility. In May 2011, Suzhou Erye received cGMP production certification for freeze dried powder for injection issued by SFDA at the new facility. The facility is fully operational with respect to these lines. The combined production lines now certified by the SFDA were responsible for approximately 99% of Erye’s 2010 revenues with two of them responsible for over 90% of Erye’s 2010 revenues. The new facility is estimated to cost approximately $38.7 million, of which approximately $38.4 million has been incurred through June 30, 2011. We have agreed for a period of approximately another two years to reinvest in Erye approximately 90% of the net earnings, in the form of dividends, we would be entitled to receive under the Joint Venture Agreement by reason of our 51% interest in Erye and EET has agreed for a period of approximately another two years to loan back to Erye all dividends it is entitled to for use in connection with its construction of the new Erye facility.

We are also engaged in other initiatives to expand our operations into China including with respect to technology licensing, establishment of stem cell processing and storage capabilities and research and clinical development. In June 2009 we established NeoStem (China) as our wholly foreign-owned subsidiary or WFOE. To comply with PRC’s foreign investment regulations regarding stem cell research and development, clinical trials and related activities, we conduct our current stem cell business in the PRC through domestic variable interest entities (“VIEs”). We have incurred and expect to continue to incur substantial expenses in connection with our China activities.

We expect to rely partly on dividends paid to us by the WFOE under the contracts with the VIEs, and under the Joint Venture Agreement attributable to our 51% ownership interest in Erye, to meet some of our future cash needs. However, there can be no assurance that the WFOE in China will receive payments uninterrupted or at all as arranged under the contracts with the VIEs. In addition, pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement that governs the ownership and management of Erye, for 2011 and approximately the next year: 45% of the net profit after tax due to the Company, in the form of dividends, will be provided to Erye as part of the new facility construction fund, which will be characterized as additional paid-in capital for our 51% interest in Erye; and (iii) only 6% of the net profit will be distributed to us directly for our operating expenses. The net assets of Erye at June 30, 2011 were approximately $70,942,700.

The payment of dividends by entities organized under PRC law to non-PRC entities is subject to limitations. Regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends by our WFOE and Erye only out of accumulated distributable earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in China. Moreover, our WFOE and Erye are required to appropriate from PRC GAAP profit after tax to other non-distributable reserve funds. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits (i.e., 50% of the registered capital of the relevant company), the general reserve fund requires annual appropriation at 10% of after tax profit (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC at each year-end); the appropriation to the other funds are at the discretion of WFOE and Erye. In addition, if Erye incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict Erye’s or the joint venture’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us. This may diminish the cash flow we receive from Erye’s operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our interests in China are subject to China’s rules and regulations on currency conversion. In particular, the initial capitalization and operating expenses of the VIEs are funded by our WFOE. In China, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or the SAFE, regulates the conversion of the Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies. Currently, foreign investment enterprises are required to apply to the SAFE for Foreign Exchange Registration Certificates, or IC Cards of Enterprises with Foreign Investment. Foreign investment enterprises holding such registration certificates, which must be renewed annually, are allowed to open foreign currency accounts including a “basic account” and “capital account.” Currency translation within the scope of the “basic account,” such as remittance of foreign currencies for payment of dividends, can be effected without requiring the approval of the SAFE. However, conversion of currency in the “capital account,” including capital items such as direct investments, loans, and securities, require approval of the SAFE. According to the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises promulgated on August 29, 2008, or the SAFE Notice 142, to apply to a bank for settlement of foreign currency capital, a foreign invested enterprise shall submit the documents certifying the uses of the RMB funds from the settlement of foreign currency capital and a detailed checklist on use of the RMB funds from the last settlement of foreign currency capital. It is stipulated that only if the funds for the settlement of foreign currency capital are of an amount not more than US$50,000 and are to be used for enterprise reserve, the above documents may be exempted by the bank. This SAFE Notice 142, along with the recent practice of Chinese banks of restricting foreign currency conversion for fear of “hot money” going into China, limits and may continue to limit our ability to channel funds to the VIE entities for their operation.

Neither Erye nor our other expansion activities into China are expected to generate sufficient excess cash flow to support our initiatives in China in the near term.

Once Erye has completed the transfer of operations to the new facility, and its new production lines are fully operational, it will have substantially increased capacity from the current plant, with the goal of becoming among the largest antibiotics producers in Eastern China. We recognize that there will be continuous price pressure on Erye as over 70% of Erye’s manufactured drugs are on the essential drug list. There has recently been evidence of such price pressure – i.e., on March 2, 2011 the National Development and Reform Commission issued price cuts for medical insurance drugs which substantially impacts two of Erye’drugs. We anticipate that Piperacillin Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium will experience as much as a 50% price decline while the price of Ligustrazine Phosphate may be reduced by approximately 75%. As of June 30, 2011 the price reduction experienced by Erye on these products was less than 20%. In 2011 Piperacillin Sodium and Sulbactum Sodium accounted for approximately 4% of sales and Ligustrazine Phosphate accounted for approximately 2% of sales. In addition, we understand that the Ministry of Health of the PRC has internally proposed regulations which would seek to classify antibiotics into categories, including limited and special use categories, which may have the effect of limiting sales volume of certain antibiotics by Erye.

Capital Requirements for Recent Expansion

NeoStem, Inc. acquired Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (“PCT”), by means of a merger (the “PCT Merger”) of a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem, with and into PCT pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 23, 2010 (the “PCT Agreement and Plan of Merger”).

Pursuant to the terms of the PCT Agreement and Plan of Merger, 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, 10,600,000 shares of the common stock of NeoStem and, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as to 1,000,000 shares, warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of NeoStem Common Stock. Immediately after the PCT Merger closed, the Company made a payment of $3,000,000 to repay certain indebtedness owed by PCT.

Liquidity

We anticipate that we will take further steps to raise additional capital in order to (i) fund the development of advanced cell therapies in the U.S. and China, (ii) expand the PCT business and (iii) build the family banking business to meet our short and long term liquidity needs. We currently expect to fund the anticipated expansion of our operating activities through a variety of means that could include, but not be limited to, the use of existing cash balances, the use of our current or other equity lines, potential additional warrant exercises, option exercises, the 6% of net profits to which we are entitled from Erye, issuances of other debt or equity securities in public or private financings, sale of assets and/or, ultimately, the growth of our revenue generating activities. In addition, we will continue to seek as appropriate grants for scientific and clinical studies from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and other governmental agencies and foundations, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such grants. As the Company grows, it may not be eligible for SBIR grants. We also review and consider from time to time restructuring activities, including the potential divestiture of assets. In this regard, as part of our plan to focus on capturing the paradigm shift to cell therapies following our January 2011 acquisition of PCT, we are pursuing strategic alternatives with respect to our 51% interest in Erye. We plan to devote our resources and management efforts to cell therapy manufacturing and development, and other related activities, including adult stem cell collection and storage, and in further developing our regenerative medicine business in China. We believe the proposed acquisition of Amorcyte described elsewhere herein is in keeping with this strategic mission. We also believe that if we could monetize Erye, we would have additional capital needed to pursue the development of multiple cell therapies. To that end, in June 2011, we engaged a financial advisor to lead the effort to pursue the possible divesture of our 51% interest in Erye. Marketing efforts have commenced; however, in addition to the factors set forth below, it is too early to determine whether such efforts will lead to a proposal to purchase at a price and on terms that the Company would consider acceptable or whether, in the event a proposal or proposals on prices and terms acceptable to the Company are received, whether a transaction would be completed.

Any sale of our interest in Erye would also be subject to a right of first refusal held by Suzhou Erye Economy & Co. Ltd. (“EET”) pursuant to the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement between a subsidiary of ours and EET. EET owns the remaining 49% interest in Erye. A number of issues have arisen between EET and NeoStem with respect to the operation and financing of Erye. For instance, while EET is required to lend back to Erye dividends received by it to finance Erye’s move to its new facilities, Erye has recently reported to us that such arrangement is no longer tax efficient in light of the ratio of Erye’s shareholder loans to its registered capital. In connection with exploring ways to remedy the additional tax burden caused by the level of shareholder loans and in preparing for a sale process, other issues have also surfaced, including the issue of us and Erye needing to obtain all Chinese regulatory approvals (and associated registrations) required to reflect the legal title of our interest in Erye as being held by the proper entity within our group which is its current beneficial owner as that term is used under U.S. law. We and Erye are determining what government approvals (and associated registrations) will need to be issued by the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Foreign Investment and Commerce and the Suzhou Administration for Industry and Commerce to remediate these deficiencies. Our management believes these regulatory deficiencies can be remediated within a reasonable period of time and should not delay a sale of the Company’s interest in Erye. However, no assurance can be given that any unremediated regulatory deficiencies would not have an adverse effect on our operating results and liquidity and will not impede or delay efforts to divest our interest in Erye. In addition, the remediation process is expected to trigger certain tax liabilities and penalties.

We have not yet determined to sell our interest in Erye, and we will not do so until we can assess the level of interest generated, the potential price and transaction terms we might be offered and any regulatory impediments to a transaction. A sale of our interest in Erye, if a sale can be consummated, would have a material effect on our business, results of operations and balance sheet. Factors that may impede a sale may include, but not be limited to, EET’s right of first refusal and the significant time and money that exercise of such right could cause a potential purchaser, the need for any purchaser to negotiate a new Joint Venture Agreement and a shareholder loan repayment schedule with EET if EET does not wish to either sell its interest or exercise its right of first refusal, recent regulatory changes in China which reduce prices that may be charged for certain of Erye’s products and limit use of antibiotics, tax or regulatory issues affecting Erye, including those described above and other tax increases described in our filings which will adversely affect Erye going forward, availability of financing for a potential purchaser, and other factors typical of any sale process.

While we continue to seek capital through a number of means, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and our negotiating position in capital generating efforts may worsen as existing resources are used. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to our stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate as a business, our stock price may not reach levels necessary to induce option or warrant exercises, and asset sales may not be possible on terms we consider acceptable. If we are unable to raise the funds necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs, we may have to delay or discontinue the acquisition and development of cell therapies, and/or the expansion of our business or raise funds on terms that we currently consider unfavorable.

At June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,850,400 and restricted cash totaling approximately $4,897,400. In addition we have $2,500,500 recorded in other assets for restricted cash associated with our Series E Preferred Stock, which is held in escrow and not available to meet current cash requirements. The trading volume of our common stock, coupled with our history of operating losses and liquidity challenges, may make it difficult for us to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all. The demand for the equity and debt of small cap biopharmaceutical companies like ours is dependent upon many factors, including the general state of the financial markets. During times of extreme market volatility, capital may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain such additional capital on acceptable terms could materially and adversely affect our business operations and ability to continue as a going concern.

The following table reflects a summary of NeoStem’s contractual cash obligations and commitments as of July 1, 2011 (in thousands):

	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, statements that are not statements of current or historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “plan,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or similar expressions or other variations or comparable terminology are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

As of the end of the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2011 covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The following material weakness had been identified by management in connection with its assessment as of December 31, 2010, which as of March 31, 2011 the Company had concluded had been fully remediated. The Company had determined that it had a material weakness in its accounting for share-based payment arrangements as a result of errors identified with respect to the Company’s accounting for awards to employees and non-employees. Such errors were the result of ineffective controls primarily related to the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. With respect to both employee and non-employee awards, the Company did not timely evaluate the impact of modifications to certain awards and the effect such modifications had, if any, on recognized compensation expense. With respect to non-employee awards, the Company was not consistently subjecting such awards to re-measurement at each reporting period consistent with the guidance in ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. With respect to awards to employees, the expected life used in valuing such awards previously was based on the contractual term of the options rather than through the use of the “simplified” method, as prescribed by the SEC under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, which the Company had determined to be more appropriate given its limited historical experience with respect to option exercises. In addition, certain employee awards that contain performance conditions were not appropriately evaluated and accounted for in determining whether or not the underlying performance conditions were probable of being achieved. Expense associated with certain awards was initially recognized on a graded vesting basis rather than a straight-line basis consistent with the Company’s accounting policy.

The Company had taken steps during 2010 to remediate this weakness, including (1) the adoption of the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of share-based awards issued to employees; (2) undertaking a complete review of all share-based payment transactions with non-employees to ensure that the appropriate re-measurement considerations were taken into account and were reflected in the financial statements appropriately; (3) the organization of an internal management committee which meets at least quarterly and consists of senior members of the accounting and legal departments, as well as the CEO, to review share-based awards with performance conditions to assess the probability of the performance conditions being achieved; and (4) the implementation of a new share-based management system which will integrate the administration and accounting for the Company’s share-based payment arrangements, which is expected to be fully implemented in 2011. The adjustments that were recorded to correct the Company’s share-based compensation charges for the weaknesses noted above were not material to its financial position or results of operations for any period during 2010 and 2009.

In its assessment of internal control over financing reporting as of March 31, 2011, the Company had concluded that the above material weakness has been fully remediated.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company regularly reviews its system of internal controls over financial reporting and makes changes to its processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that the Company maintains an effective internal control environment. Changes include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes, as well as utilizing the services of third party consultants to ensure compliance, which the Company has done as a result of the acquisition of Erye.
