(“we,” “NeoStem” or the “Company”) is a leader in the emerging cellular therapy industry. Cellular therapy addresses the process bywhich new cells are introduced into a tissue to prevent or treat disease, or regenerate damaged or aged tissue, and comprises a separate therapeutic technologyplatform in addition to the current three pillars of healthcare: pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices. Modern cell-based therapies have progressedfrom the first recorded human to human blood transfusion 200 years ago through to the advanced cellular therapies of today including bone marrow and organtransplantation, tissue banking and reproductive in vitro fertilization and future therapies being investigated to treat cancer, cardiologic, neurologic,ophthalmic and orthopedic diseases among others. We anticipate that cellular therapies will have a large role in the fight against chronic disease and inlessening the economic burden that these diseases pose to modern society.Our business model includes the development of novel proprietary cell therapy products as well as operating a contract development andmanufacturing organization (“CDMO”) providing services to others in the regenerative medicine industry. The combination of a therapeutic developmentbusiness and revenue-generating service provider business provides the Company with unique capabilities for cost effective in-house product development andimmediate revenue and cash flow generation. Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“PCT”), is a leading CDMO in the cellular therapy industry. Since its inception in 1997,PCT has provided pre-clinical and clinical current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) development and manufacturing services to over 100 clientsadvancing regenerative medicine product candidates through rigorous quality standards all the way through to human testing. PCT has two cGMP, state-of-theart cell therapy research, development, and manufacturing facilities in New Jersey and California, serving the cell therapy community with integrated andregulatory compliant distribution capabilities. Its core competencies in the cellular therapy industry include manufacturing of cell therapy-based products,product and process development, cell and tissue processing, regulatory support, storage, distribution and delivery and consulting services. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Amorcyte, LLC (“Amorcyte”), which we acquired in October 2011, is developing our own cell therapy, AMR-001,for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. AMR-001 represents our most clinically advanced therapeutic product candidate and enrollment for our Phase 2PreSERVE clinical trial to investigate AMR-001's safety and efficacy in preserving heart function after a heart attack in a particular type of post AcuteMyocardial Infarction (“AMI”) patients commenced in 2012. We expect to complete enrollment for this study in 2013 with the first data readout available six toeight months thereafter.If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and/or other worldwide regulatory agencies, AMR-001 would address a significant unmetmedical need in the treatment of AMI, potentially improving the quality and longevity of life for those afflicted, and position the Company to capture ameaningful share of the worldwide AMI market.Through our majority-owned subsidiary, Athelos Corporation (“Athelos”), we are collaborating with Becton-Dickinson in early stage clinicaldevelopment of a therapy utilizing T-cells, collaborating for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including but not limited to, graft vs. host disease,type 1 diabetes, steroid resistant asthma, lupus, multiple sclerosis and solid organ transplant rejection. We plan to investigate the clinical feasibility of nTreg-based therapeutics to prevent and/or treat type 1 diabetes, graft vs. host disease, steroid resistant asthma, lupus, multiple sclerosis and solid organ transplantrejection and expect to file an Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") with the FDA in 2013 and commence human clinical studies in one of thesedisease conditions thereafter.Our pre-clinical assets include our VSEL TM (Very Small Embryonic Like) Technology platform for which we expect to file an IND with the FDA inlate 2013 or early 2014 to initiate an National Institutes of Health ("NIH") funded human clinical studies treating periodontitis with VSELsTM. We are alsoworking on a Department of Defense funded study of VSELsTM and mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic wounds.NeoStem's origins are in adult stem cell collection and storage and we believe that as new therapeutics are developed utilizing one's own stored cells(autologous), the market penetration rate for the collection and storage business may rise sharply from its current low single digits percentage level allowing ourdeveloping a network to scale rapidly if the demand grows.We believe that NeoStem is ideally positioned to be an integrated leader in the cell therapy industry. We have significant basic research anddevelopment capabilities, manufacturing facilities on both the east and west coast of the United States, the support of regulatory and logistical expertise and atalented and experienced clinical team. We believe this expertise will allow us to achieve our mission of becoming the premier cell therapy company.4Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Within thisfield are four general categories of therapeutic technology platforms: cell therapy; tissue engineering; tools, devices and diagnostics; and aesthetic medicine.NeoStem's business model is focused in the area of cell therapy, which we define as the introduction of cells (adult or embryonic, donor or patient, stem ordifferentiated) into the body to prevent and treat disease.All living complex organisms start as a single cell that replicates, differentiates (matures) and perpetuates in an adult through its lifetime. Cell therapyis the process by which new cells are introduced into a tissue to prevent and treat disease and, regenerate damaged or aged tissue. The most common type ofcell therapy has been the replacement of mature, functioning cells such as through blood and platelet transfusions. Since the 1970s, first bone marrow andthen blood and umbilical cord-derived stem cells have been used to restore bone marrow and blood and immune system cells damaged by chemotherapy andradiation used to treat many cancers. These types of cell therapies are standard of practice world-wide and are typically reimbursed by insurance. Within the field of cell therapy, research and development of stem cells to treat a host of diseases and conditions has greatly expanded. Stem cells (ineither embryonic and adult forms) are very primitive and undifferentiated cells that have the unique ability to transform into or otherwise affect many differentcells, such as white blood cells, nerve cells or heart muscle cells. NeoStem's cell therapy development efforts are focused on the use of adult stem cells; thesecells are found in the bone marrow, in peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood and other body organs. For more than 40 years, physicians have been usingadult stem cells to treat various blood cancers, and only recently has the promise of using adult stem cells to treat a myriad of other diseases begun to berealized.There are two general classes of cell therapies: the use of either autologous cells (meaning donor and recipient/patient are the same) or allogeneic cells(donor and recipient are different people). The use of autologous cells to create vaccines directed against tumor cells in the body has been demonstrated to beeffective and safe in clinical trials. For example, Dendreon Corporation's Provenge therapy for prostate cancer received FDA approval in early 2010. Our AMR-001 program is focused on autologous therapy as we believe the integration to the host and long-term benefits of this therapy can best be achieved with anautologous product.Various adult stem cell therapies are in clinical development for an array of human diseases, including autoimmune, oncology, neurological andorthopedic, among others. In addition, we, as well as others, are developing cell therapies for cardiovascular disease. While no assurances can be givenregarding future medical developments, we believe that the field of cell therapy holds the promise to better the human experience and minimize or ameliorate thepain and suffering from many common diseases and/or from the process of aging.At PCT, we currently are working with a wide range of clients in the regenerative medicine industry. As such, PCT provides a unique andfundamental base platform of experience with a multitude of cell types in development today. Our CDMO offerings are strategically aligned to participate in allof these aspects of the evolving cell therapy industry, as described above. Our goal is to continue to leverage the experience of PCT as a recognized leader of celltherapy manufacturing and development services in this industry.6Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

IndexMarket AnalysisAccording to the MDB Capital Group's January 2011 report entitled “The Regenerative Medicine Report: Part II,” cell-based therapies utilizing stemcells represented a market of approximately $50 billion at the time of the report, with an expected growth rate of 15% compounded annually, projected to reachan estimated $88 billion by 2014. With approved cell therapy products currently being sold in the Unites States and abroad and an increasing number ofPhase 2 and Phase 3 trials with cell therapies underway, we believe the “promise” of cell therapy will become clearer over the next several years.Cell therapies, if approved, may have the effect of cutting health care costs as they may facilitate functional restoration of damaged tissues and notjust abatement or moderation of symptoms. Safe and efficacious cell therapies for chronic diseases could capture an increasing portion of future healthcarespending in the United States, driven both by favorable demographics and the meaningful pharmacoeconomic benefit. Within the cardiovascular space, forexample, the forecasted economic burden on society is expected to rise substantially. Adverse consequences associated with severe myocardial infarctions (MI)and the progression to congestive heart failure (even with current state-of-the-art medical care) represent major unmet medical needs. These adverseconsequences associated with MI typically result in an estimated average annual cost to society of $50,000 per patient per year for five years of life, post-MI,and in those patients who do progress to congestive heart failure the numbers become substantially higher. According to the American Heart Association, by2030, it is projected that 40.5% of Americans - 116 million people - will have some form of cardiovascular disease. Between 2010 and 2030, total directmedical costs of cardiovascular disease are projected to triple, from $273 billion to $818 billion. Real indirect costs - due to lost productivity - for all forms ofcardiovascular disease are estimated to increase from $172 billion in 2010 to $276 billion in 2030, an increase of more than 60 percent. The combined costsare expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2030. Cell therapy offers the promise of alleviating much of the burdens of these chronic diseases in a cost-effective way.CELL THERAPY PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTAMR-001We are pursuing the development of AMR-001, a chemotactic hematopoietic stem cell product comprised of autologous bone marrow derivedCD34+/CXCR4+ cells selected to treat damaged heart muscle following AMI. AMR-001 is being evaluated to determine safety and the effect of intracoronaryinfusion of AMR-001 on myocardial perfusion (amount of blood in the heart) at six months post randomization in subjects post acute ST elevation myocardialinfarction (“STEMI”), a particular type of AMI. AMR is also being evaluated to determine its effect on preservation of left ventricular function and risk ofmajor adverse cardiac events following AMI, and impact on patient reported outcomes, among other endpoints. Multiple peer reviewed publications from arange of laboratories and investigators indicate that AMR-001 should increase microvascular blood flow in the myocardium (heart muscle) via angiogenesis(development and formation of new blood vessels), thereby reversing post-heart attack induced restriction of blood supply and rescuing tissue from eventualcell death. This would result in prevention of myocardial infarct expansion and thus block ventricular remodeling - the driver of long-term risk in AMIpatients. At the time of a heart attack, doctors rush to open up the coronary artery, usually using a stent. Within the first 5 to 11 days following the heartattack is the optimal time to administer AMR-001 via that same artery. With angiogenesis initiated in the peri-infarct zone (that is, the living tissue on theperiphery of the dead tissue), the myocardium surrounding the site of the heart attack is preserved.In December 2010, Amorcyte (which we acquired in October 2011) reported results of a Phase 1 study of AMR-001 treating 31 patients with damagedheart muscle following AMI. In January 2012, we commenced a Phase 2 study of AMR-001 for the same indication which we are presently enrolling as a160-person multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of infusing AMR-001 into an infarct-relatedartery. Based on experiences in drug development, the literature and our Phase 1 results, AMR-001 shows promise to be efficacious and safe for treatingpatients who suffer a ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction ("STEMI"), particularly when using a pure, potent and adequately dosed CD34 cell population.We believe that the AMR-001 platform may be applicable to other conditions resulting from underlying ischemia. In that regard, we expect to file an IND in2013 for the use of AMR-001 in arresting the progression of congestive heart failure and treating the associated comorbidities of that disease. We are exploringthe possibility of filing an IND in 2014 for the treatment of traumatic brain injury.Preclinical Development7Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexPre-clinical animal models of induced AMI have demonstrated that CD34+/CXCR4+ expressing cells migrate naturally to oxygen-deprived locations.More specifically, these cells home to the viable tissue surrounding the infarcted (dead) myocardium, known as the peri-infarct zone. Moreover,CD34+/CXCR4+ expressing cells have been shown to be capable of inducing the development and formation of new blood vessels over time and preventing lateheart cell death due to chronic ischemia. These cells have been shown to prevent cell death through alternative pathways. Other studies demonstrated thatCD34+/CXCR4+ cells that take up residence in the peri-infarct zone are likely the cell type that affects angiogenesis, relieves ischemia and prevents apoptosis(cell death). Collectively, these results provided the rationale for the clinical exploration of CD34+/CXCR4+ expressing cells to reduce the incidence and severityof MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Events) after an extensive AMI.Clinical Development EffortsThe completed Phase 1 study of AMR-001 in 31 patients with damaged heart muscle following AMI showed a statistically significant dose-relatedimprovement in myocardial perfusion. Patients who received 10 million cells (n=5) or 15 million cells (n=4) showed statistically significant improvement inresting perfusion rates at six months as compared to patients who received 5 million cells (n=6) or the control groups (n=15), as measured by Single-photonemission computerized tomography (SPECT). The study data also showed a dose-related trend towards improvement in ejection fraction (the percentage ofblood pumped out of the ventricles with each heart beat), end systolic volume (the blood volume remaining in a ventricle at the end of contraction and thebeginning of filling, which can be used clinically as a measurement of the adequacy of cardiac emptying), and reduction in infarct (death of tissue caused byshutting off the blood supply) size.AMR-001 works by increasing microvascular blood flow in the heart muscle via the development and formation of new blood vessels, therebyreversing the restriction of blood supply caused by a heart attack and rescuing tissue from eventual cell death. The treatment process works as follows:(cid:0)A patient's own bone marrow is harvested and a sterile pharmaceutical composition enriched for CD34+/CXCR4+ cells isprepared using our patented technology.(cid:0)The isolated cells are then infused via catheter into the infarct-related artery 6 to 11 days following an AMI, which we believe isthe optimal time frame for cellular intervention, after the pro-inflammatory “hot phase” and prior to permanent scar formation,while the heart tissue is actively attracting CD34+/CXCR4+ cells.(cid:0)The infused cells migrate to the at-risk tissue along a hypoxia-induced Stromal-Derived Factor-1 gradient to a signal emittedfrom the infarct as described above, inducing angiogenesis and a resultant functional benefit.In January 2012, we enrolled the first patient in our PreSERVE Phase 2 trial, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled U.S.clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single intra-coronary infusion of at least 10 million cells of AMR-001, post STEMI, in subjects withejection fractions of 48% or less as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging ("CMR"). We expect to complete enrollment for this study in 2013 withthe first data readout available six to eight months thereafter. As of March 8, 2013, of the 160 patients in the trial 87 have been enrolled. If the number ofevaluable patients in the trial is less than projected, we have authorization from the FDA to enroll up to 180 patients.The objective of the Phase 2 study is to determine the safety and the efficacy of AMR-001 in improving cardiac function and outcomes of patientsafter STEMI, a type of AMI. The primary endpoint of the study is improvement in myocardial cardiac perfusion using the resting total severity score(“RTSS”), measured by gated Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (“SPECT”) myocardial perfusion imaging (“MPI”) at six months postrandomization, with secondary endpoints evaluating the impact of AMR-001 on cardiac function and adverse events post-STEMI myocardial infarction asdefined by reduction in cumulative MACE at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months; premature death; recurrent heart attack; congestive heart failure; significantarrhythmias; and acute coronary syndrome. Additional secondary endpoints of the study are to determine preservation of cardiac function with CMR (CardiacMagnetic Resonance) to measure LVEF (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction), LVESV (Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume), LVEDV (Left Ventricular EndDiastolic Volume), regional myocardial strain, infarct/peri-infarct regional wall motion abnormalities, and infarct size and Quality of Life measuresquestionnaires such as Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (“KCCQ”) & Seattle Angina Questionnaire (“SAQ”). We have received positive six andtwelve month data Safety Monitoring Board ("DSMB") safety evaluations for our Phase 2 PreSERVE clinical trial.Market Opportunity and CompetitionIn the United States, there are more than 160,000 patients per year who suffer a STEMI, the most dangerous type of heart attack, resulting from asudden blockage of one of the arteries that supplies nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle. Treatment of these patients post-heart attack represents a significantfinancial burden for many managed care programs.

AMR-001, if approved, could provide asignificant pharmacoeconomic benefit by preventing downstream cardiac adverse events.The field of cardiovascular cell therapy development is competitive. There are a number of companies that are developing stem cell based therapiesfor cardiovascular diseases, including, but not limited to, Baxter International Inc., MesoBlast Limited, Athersys, Inc., Aastrom Biosciences, Inc.,Cytomedix, Inc., Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. and Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. These companies are utilizing a number of different therapeutic approaches intheir development efforts. Specifically, there are both autologous and allogeneic based competitive therapies that derive cells principally from four sources: fatderived cells, peripheral blood, cord blood, and bone marrow derived cells. Of these, the allogeneic sources (that is, where donor and recipient are differentpersons) face a series of technical limitations that we believe can minimize their clinical value, including the potential need for immunosuppressants, toxicityconcerns and durability issues. AMR-001, an autologous cell therapy, has demonstrated positive Phase 1 data, a cGMP process for manufacturing and abroad portfolio of patents and patent applications including dosing related technology. As such, we believe AMR-001 is in a strong competitive position.ManufacturingPCT provides all of the cell processing services needed in connection with our PreSERVE Phase 2 trial of AMR-001 and it is expected that PCT alsowill provide such services for any future studies, if applicable. Our use of PCT for cell processing services related to AMR-001 and other NeoStem productcandidates means that a portion of PCT's capacity (currently approximately 20%) is not available for potential revenue generating activities with unaffiliatedthird parties. While PCT does not currently have sufficient manufacturing capacity to produce large scale commercial manufacturing of AMR-001 ifapproved, it is pursuing multiple options for commercial manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. and Europe. We expect to have these capabilities in place bythe end of 2013.Intellectual PropertyWe have five issued patents (three in the U.S., 1 in Japan, 1 in South Africa) and one U.S. patent application that has received a Notice of Allowancecovering AMR-001, the claims of which are currently scheduled to expire between 2026 and 2028, and we have more than 30 patent applications pendingworldwide. Specifically, there are three primary U.S. patents, and one Allowed U.S. patent application that has received Notice of Allowance coveringcompositions and methods using AMR-001 to treat injuries caused by vascular insufficiency:•U.S. Patent No. 7,794,705 covering a chemotactic stem cell product enriched for CD34+ cells that treats injury from AMI;•U.S. Patent No. 8,088,370 covering the use of AMR-001 in the repair of injury caused by vascular insufficiency, including all forms of cardiacinsufficiency, such as congestive heart failure, chronic myocardial ischemia and, we believe, vascular insufficiency induced ischemic conditionsbeyond the cardiac setting;•U.S. Patent No. 8,343,485 offering expanded breadth in AMR's composition and treatment methods in the vascular insufficiency setting; and•U.S. patent application no. 13/285,606 covering a method of treating a progressive myocardial injury caused by an ischemic condition and utilizinga multi-dosing regimen.T-Cell TherapyAthelos, in collaboration with Becton-Dickinson, is seeking to develop therapies using a person's immune cells as a therapeutic product to treatdisorders of the immune system. Many immune-mediated diseases are a result of an imbalance in the immune system when inflammatory cells go unchecked.Therapy using regulatory T cells (Treg) represents a novel approach to restoring immune balance by enhancing Treg cell number and function to inhibitpathogenic immune responses.Through exclusive world-wide licenses to approximately 20 issued U.S. patents, Athelos has secured the rights to a broad patent estate within theTreg field, covering natural Tregs (nTregs), induced Tregs (iTregs) and methods of treating or preventing certain conditions and/or diseases by use of Tregs.Both types of Tregs have been shown in pre-clinical studies to be important in modulating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Natural Tregs have beenevaluated by others in early phase human clinical trials and shown to be safe with suggestions of clinical benefit in graft-versus-host disease. Both nTregs andiTregs have demonstrated the ability to treat conditions like diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and organ transplant tolerance in animal models of disease.To complement our development efforts, we have established consulting relationships with thought leaders in the field of Treg therapy for immune disorders,including David Horwitz, MD, Chief of the Division of Rheumatology and Immunology at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine,and Bruce Blazar, MD, Chief of Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Director of Center of Translational Medicine, Masonic Cancer Center, Universityof Minnesota.9Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

IndexThis ongoing development program is establishing methods to isolate and expand human nTregs for large scale manufacturing to enable early clinicaltrials. We are exploring potential relationships with key leaders and academic investigators with sufficient preclinical data to support an IND application in asmany as two potential clinical indications. We plan to investigate the clinical feasibility of nTreg-based therapeutics to prevent and/or treat type 1 diabetes,graft vs. host disease, steroid resistant asthma, lupus, multiple sclerosis and solid organ transplant rejection and expect to file an IND with the FDA in 2013 tocommence human clinical studies in one of these disease conditions.In 2013, we also will be focusing our efforts to evaluate and characterize several potential methods for the in vitro generation of human iTregs andshow proof-of-concept of a therapeutic cellular product in an appropriate animal model of disease.VSEL™ TechnologyMariusz Ratajczak, M.D., Ph.D., head of the Stem Cell Biology Program at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville,discovered that mammalian bone marrow contains a heterogeneous population of stem cells that has properties similar to those of embryonic stem cells. Thesecells, first described in mice, are referred to as very small embryonic-like stem cells, "VSELsTM" or "VSELTM stem cells"). We are engaged in research anddevelopment of new therapies based on VSELTM Technology and pursuant to our VSELTM Technology license agreement with the University of Louisville, wehave the exclusive, world-wide rights, to technology and know-how relating to very small embryonic-like stem cells. These patent applications, filed in theU.S. and abroad, relate to VSELTM stem cell methods of isolation and treatment of disease.Pre-clinical animal models have demonstrated that highly enriched human VSELsTM, when injected in the vitreal or subretinal space can migrate andintegrate into areas of damage and have the ability to differentiate and express markers of retinal stem cells, neuronal cells, and photoreceptors and thus,through further studies, may demonstrate VSELsTM potential to treat ocular diseases such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and other retinaldegenerative diseases that have no effective treatment options today. Preliminary data suggests that VSELTM potency may be hundreds of times greater thanmesenchymal stem cells ("MSC"). We believe this represents great promise for healing severe complex wounds in people.The use of human VSELsTM for regenerative medicine presents the possibility of capturing the key advantages associated with embryonic stem cellswithout the ethical or moral dilemmas associated with the use of fetal cells, or the potential negative biological effects associated with embryonic stem cells,such as their propensity to form tumors. In addition, VSELsTM offer the advantage of using autologous stem cells (i.e., the patient's own cells) for therapy, asopposed to having to rely on donor cells that are susceptible to immune rejection. Our research has identified cells in human blood and bone marrow that havemany of the key properties described for murine VSELsTM. This research includes evidence of primitivism, pluripotency and tri-lineage differentiation. Theseobservations provide the groundwork for the development of VSELTM therapies to regenerate or repair damaged or diseased tissues in human subjects.In 2012, the development of VSELTM Technology remained an area of major focus for us as we worked toward the goal of creating autologousVSELTM therapies prepared under cGMP for commercial use. This past year also marked a new level of achievement for VSELTM Technology as we receiveda two year grant totaling approximately $1.2 million for “Repair of Bone Defects with Human Autologous Pluripotent Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells(VSEL)” from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This peer-reviewedgrant is to support the first NIH approved clinical study of VSELsTM in humans.We intend to pursue and commercialize a therapeutic VSELTM product in selected clinical applications and markets based on unmet medical need,target patient population size, regulatory strategy, and overall commercial market. Through the grant funding listed below, together with NeoStem's ownfunding, we are exploring VSELTM stem cell treatments for periodontitis, healing complex skin and soft tissue wounds, corneal regeneration and repair, age-related macular degeneration, nerve regeneration and acute radiation syndrome in a parallel but staggered timeline. We anticipate that a single clinicalmanufacturing process will be developed for these indications, collectively, and that the major pacing item will be the generation of preclinical data to supportan IND application for a Phase 1 clinical trial. We expect to file an IND to commence human clinical studies treating periodontitis in late 2013 or early 2014.The following table summarizes our grant funded development efforts:10Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

These grant awards, together with our other submitted grant applications, to theextent funded, would not only further our research efforts already underway, but potentially could launch new inquiries and further diversify our base ofresearch partners in other areas. We expect to submit grant applications during 2013 for up to $6,000,000 in additional funding for our programs.Vatican Initiatives In May 2010, the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture and NeoStem announced what has been characterized as the Vatican's first-ever contract ofcollaboration with an outside commercial venture to advance adult stem cell research. The initiative partners, NeoStem and The Stem for Life Foundation (thepublic charity it helped form), together with the Pontifical Council and its charitable organization, STOQ International, seek to expand research and raiseawareness of adult stem cell therapies. The partnership entails work on collaborative activities with the goal of advancing scientific research on adult stem cellsand exploring their clinical application in the field of regenerative medicine, as well as the cultural impact of such research. In addition, NeoStem and the Pontifical Council spearheaded an education campaign to generate awareness of the cultural relevance of such afundamental shift in medical treatment options, particularly with regard to the impact on theological and ethical issues. Specifically, NeoStem and thePontifical Council are pursuing the development of educational programs, publications and academic courses with an interdisciplinary approach fortheological and philosophical faculties, including those of bioethics, around the world. These initiatives aim at providing information, teaching and researchregarding important issues of human health and of the present and future of medical progress in relation to adult stem cell research and with respect to the greatvalue of human life. Through this collaboration, NeoStem and the Pontifical Council for Culture aspire to reach religious and academic leaders working in thePontifical and Catholic Institutions, as well as to extend their work and results to institutions beyond the Catholic environment. In April 2013, the book, TheHealing Cell: How the Greatest Revolution in History is Changing Your Life, will be released to the public.In April 2013, NeoStem, the Foundation, the Pontifical Council and STOQ will host The Second International Vatican Adult Stem CellConference: Regenerative Medicine - A Fundamental Shift in Science & Culture, from within the Vatican and following the first conference held by theparties in November 2011.

PCT's businessstrategy is to provide contract research, development and manufacturing services, enabling our clients to cost effectively outsource their pre-clinical, clinicaland commercial manufacturing and cell storage operations. PCT's expert, customer centric and standardized services include, but are not limited to currentGood Manufacturing Practices/Good Laboratory Practices ("cGMP/GLP") manufacturing, product, process and assay development, Good Tissue Practices("GTP") cell and tissue processing, cell and tissue sourcing and banking, distribution and delivery and consulting and regulatory services. PCT operates twostate-of-the-art, accredited and certified U.S. facilities, one in Allendale, New Jersey and the other in Mountain View, California and is looking to expand itsservice activities into Europe during 2013.NeoStem also is a PCT client, which enables us to cost-effectively and efficiently develop our own cell therapy products and translate our ownresearch and development efforts, capabilities and proprietary technologies, into stable, reproducible, well-characterized cell products tailored for specifictherapeutic applications, including AMR-001.Management ExperienceThe management team of PCT has extensive experience in domestic and internationally regulated contract research, development and manufacturingacross a broad range of science, technologies, and processes operations. Team members are recognized and credentialed experts in all aspects of clinical andproduct development, characterization, manufacturing, delivery, and use, and have extensive experience designing, validating, and operating cGMP/GLP celltherapy manufacturing facilities.Informed by this experience, PCT's strategy historically has included the periodic formation of companies intended to develop specific therapeuticproducts and leverage its capabilities to bring its own cell therapy product portfolio to market. In this regard, PCT management founded a cardiac cell therapycompany (our subsidiary Amorcyte), an immunotherapy company (our 80% owned subsidiary Athelos) and a cGMP cord blood company (our subsidiaryNeoStem Family Storage, LLC).Service OfferingsThe PCT business model is focused on helping our clients advance their respective product candidates from conception through to commercializationby reducing manufacturing risks, shortening the time to regulatory approval, and reducing the overall costs of a clinical development program. With itsestablished facilities and infrastructure, PCT can offer our clients expertise at all stages of the product development lifecycle and cost-effective developmentand manufacturing services at the highest quality without the need for significant capital investment.Since its inception in 1999, PCT has served over 100 clients and is experienced with more than 20 different cell based therapeutics includingneuronal and skin based cells for brain and spinal cord repair, myoblast, mesenchymal cells and bone marrow derived cells for heart disease, tumor,dendritic cells and monocytes for cancer treatment, cord blood, peripheral blood, bone marrow CD34+ selected cells for transplantation and islet cells fordiabetes. PCT has performed over 30,000 cell therapy procedures in its cell therapy manufacturing facilities, processed and stored over 18,000 cell therapyproducts (including approximately 7,000 umbilical cord blood, 10,000 blood and marrow derived stem cells and 1,000 dendritic cells) and arranged thelogistics and transportation for over 14,000 cell therapy products for clinical use by over 5,000 patients nationwide. Importantly, PCT manufactured over85% of Dendreon's approved Provenge® product during its Phase 3 clinical testing, and over 60% of all Dendreon cell therapeutics in clinical testing from1999 through 2007.PCT's current business development efforts target cell and tissue therapeutic product companies, academic stem cell and other cell therapy clinicaltrials, device companies serving the regenerative medicine sector, pharmaceutical companies with an interest in a cell or tissue therapeutic or research product,and any other potential client with needs in the manufacturing and development of a cell or tissue-based product. More specifically, we focus our PCT serviceofferings in the following five areas:12Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Index•Manufacturing: Manufacturing cell therapy-based products includes a number of challenges, including the need for substantial capital and resourceinvestment, limited unit sizes and process scalability, short processing turnaround times and stringent and evolving regulatory requirements. PCT'sfacilities, infrastructure and extensive experience provide a turn-key solution to clients to meet these challenges. In order to bolster our unique expertiseand further reduce cost of goods sold for products, PCT continually seeks innovation drivers, including new opportunities for automation in itsmanufacturing operations.•Product and Process Development: PCT works with clients to develop, optimize, implement and validate various aspects of cell therapy product andprocess development.•Cell and Tissue Processing: PCT offers a full range of cost-effective cell collection and processing services that meet cGTP standards.•Storage, Distribution and Delivery: PCT offers cryogenic storage facilities for both short- and long-term storage of tissues, primary cells and celltherapy products. In addition, PCT leverages its established logistics and distribution network to ensure a timely, secure and cost-effective point-to-point chain of control and custody.•Consulting and Regulatory Support: PCT offers its clients a full-range of scientific, technical and regulatory support along the entire spectrum of celltherapy development.Over the next several years, management anticipates that the number of companies in the cell therapy field will continue to increase and the relativedistribution of stage of development of the therapeutics will begin to skew more heavily towards Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials. As this industry emerges, PCT iswell positioned to capture a meaningful share of this larger, more profitable market. To prepare for the advancement of this industry, PCT is pursuingmultiple options for commercial manufacturing capacity, both in the U.S. and Europe, and expects to have these capabilities in place by the end of 2013.Additionally, PCT will continue to look for opportunities to secure from our clients equity participation, rights to back-end royalties and exclusivecommercial manufacturing agreements, in additional to cash fees.FacilitiesWith over 55,000 square feet of built out development and manufacturing space in its Allendale, NJ, and Mountain View, CA facilities, PCT is acGMP-compliant cell therapy CDMO with facilities on both the East and the West Coast of the United States. These facilities include 3,300 square feet ofcontrolled environment rooms (CERs) or clean rooms that are unidirectional-flow, negative-pressure, International Organization for Standardization ("ISO ")designation 7/ Class 10,000 classified, with ISO designation 8/ Class 100,000 gown-in/gown-out rooms, and material pass-throughs. Each CER has controlledaccess, live facility and equipment monitoring with automated alarm call-out, dedicated HVAC systems, and is on an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)connection, maintained by an external generator. Each facility also contains cell and tissue cryogenic storage rooms, with controlled access, live facility andequipment monitoring with automated alarm call-out, and UPS connection, to ensure highest level of quality control and risk mitigation for product storage.PCT's facilities are AABB (American Association of Blood Banks)- and FACT (Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy)-accredited,hold all requisite licensures, are registered with the FDA as human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) facilities, andmaintain cGMP compliant quality systems. The Allendale facility has been designed to be compliant with FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA)standards for the manufacture of human cells for therapeutic use.Transportation Network and LogisticsPCT understands that a successful transportation network for cell therapy will require a completely secure point-to-point chain of control andcustody; cGMP standard operating procedures in all phases of transit; a highly specialized and trained air and ground courier network; quality assurance ateach transfer point; and real-time package tracking. We strive to maintain high standards in transportation and handling of client cell products. Shipments ofproducts are tracked as PCT and its clients develop confidence in the abilities of PCT's transportation partners. PCT is laying the groundwork for such anetwork as part of its business development process. PCT works with validated specialty air carrier(s) that follow specific protocols for shipping medicalproducts, including whole blood and blood products, tissue for transplantation, and diagnostic specimens and also handles cryopreserved specimens andbiologics.Competition13Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexOur CDMO business faces competition from other third party contract manufacturers, as well as more general competition from companies andacademic and research institutions that may choose to self-manufacture rather than utilize a contract manufacturer. The two largest third party CDMOcompetitors focused in the field of cell therapy are Lonza Group Ltd. and WuXi AppTec. Both of these companies are large, well-established manufacturerswith financial, technical, research and development and sales and marketing resources that are significantly greater than those of PCT. In addition, bothLonza and WuXi have international CDMO capabilities that we do not currently possess though are pursuing. We also face competition from a number ofother CDMOs that are somewhat smaller in size and with fewer resources than PCT.More generally, we face competition inherent in any third party manufacturer's business: namely, that potential customers may instead choose toinvest in their own facilities and infrastructure, affording them greater control over their products and the promise of long-term cost savings compared to athird party CDMO. To be successful, we will need to convince potential customers that PCT's services are both higher-quality and more cost-effective thancould be achieved through internal manufacturing and that our experience and expertise is unique in the industry. Our ability to achieve this and tosuccessfully compete against other CDMOs will depend, in large part, on our success in developing superior automation technologies that improve both thequality and profitability associated with cell therapy manufacturing.Cord Blood and Stem Cell Processing and StorageWe provide services to treat patients with cell and tissue therapies, including the processing for blood and bone marrow stem cell transplants whichare used following radiation and/or chemotherapy for certain cancers-particularly leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. We also provide services to individualsfor the private collection, processing and storage of umbilical cord blood units and adult stem cells. This enables healthy individuals to donate and store theirstem cells for personal therapeutic use in the future, as and when needed. Our facilities on both the east and west coast are cGMP compliant, the highest FDAstandard, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage in the industry.We believe that the perceived value of stem cell donation and storage will increase as additional indications for stem cell-based therapies are developed.Individuals may begin to view the ability to donate and store autologous adult stem cells for future personal therapeutic use as a valuable part of a “bio-insurance” program. The benefits of pre-donation include having a known supply of autologous stem cells rather than an uncertain supply of compatibleallogeneic stem cells; collecting and storing the cells while healthy, since autologous stem cells may be compromised once a patient becomes sick; and storingthe patients cells when available, since the quantity and quality of stem cells generally diminish with age.However, currently there is no significant global market for the use of autologous stem cells and hence no significant market yet exists for theirprocessing or their collection and storage, nor is there any guarantee that such markets will develop in the near future, or at all. While we believe that themedical community is generally supportive of cord blood or adult stem cell collection systems, the medical institutions currently do not specificallyrecommend storage of stem cells from the cord blood or adult stem cells. Patients can donate their cord blood to the public cord blood collection system withoutcharge. If medical research discovers new and more effective medical procedures that make allogeneic cord blood transplants safer and more effective, theclinical advantage of storing umbilical cord blood for the child's own future therapeutic use may significantly decline. As such, we are not putting resourcesinto marketing the services but are developing a network to enable us to capitalize on this market if the demand emerges.GOVERNMENT REGULATION The health care industry is one of the most highly regulated industries in the United States and abroad. Various governmental regulatory authorities,as well as private accreditation organizations, oversee and monitor the activities of individuals and businesses engaged in the development, manufacture anddelivery of health care products and services. The following is a general description of certain current laws and regulations that are relevant to our business.HCT/P RegulationsManufacturing facilities that produce cellular therapies are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA. In particular, FDA regulations set forthrequirements pertaining to establishments that manufacture human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (“HCT/Ps”). Title 21, Code ofFederal Regulations, Part 1271 provides for a unified registration and listing system, donor-eligibility, current Good Tissue Practices (“cGTP”), and otherrequirements that are intended to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases by HCT/Ps. More specifically, key elements ofPart 1271 include:14Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Index•Registration and listing requirements for establishments that manufacture HCT/Ps;•Requirements for determining donor eligibility, including donor screening and testing;•cGTP requirements, which include requirements pertaining to the manufacturer's quality program, personnel, procedures, manufacturing facilities,environmental controls, equipment, supplies and reagents, recovery, processing and process controls, labeling, storage, record-keeping, tracking,complaint files, receipt, pre-distribution shipment, distribution, and donor eligibility determinations, donor screening, and donor testing;•Adverse reaction reporting;•Labeling of HCT/Ps; and•FDA inspection, retention, recall, destruction, and cessation of manufacturing operations.PCT currently collects, processes, stores and manufactures HCT/Ps, including the manufacture of cellular therapy products. NeoStem FamilyStorage also collects, processes, and stores HCT/Ps. Therefore, both PCT and NeoStem Family Storage must comply with cGTP and with the current GoodManufacturing Practices ("cGMP") requirements that apply to biological products. Cell and tissue based products may also be subject to the same approvalstandards, including demonstration of safety and efficacy, as other biologic and drug products if they meet certain criteria such as if the cells or tissues aremore than minimally manipulated or if they are intended for a non-homologous use. Management believes that requirements pertaining to premarket approval,do not currently apply to PCT because PCT is not currently investigating, marketing or selling cellular therapy products. If either PCT or NeoStem FamilyStorage changes its business operations in the future, the FDA requirements that apply to PCT or NeoStem Family Storage may also change.State Regulation of Cell TherapyCertain state and local governments regulate cell-processing facilities by requiring them to obtain other specific licenses. As required under applicablestate law, PCT's New Jersey and California facilities are licensed, respectively, as a blood bank in New Jersey and as a drug manufacturing facility inCalifornia. PCT also maintains licenses with respect to states that require licensure of out-of-state facilities that process cell, tissue and/or blood samples ofresidents of such states (e.g., New York and Maryland). PCT has the relevant state licenses needed for processing and is AABB (American Association ofBlood Banks) accredited for this purpose. Management believes that it is in material compliance with currently applicable federal, state, and local laboratorylicensure requirements, and intends to continue to comply with new licensing requirements that may become applicable in the future.Certain states may also have enacted laws and regulations, or may be considering laws and regulations, regarding the use and marketing of stemcells or cell therapy products, such as those derived from human embryos. While these laws and regulations should not directly affect PCT's business, theycould affect the business of some of PCT's clients and therefore the amount of business PCT receives from these clients.Federal Regulation of Clinical LaboratoriesThe Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) extends federal oversight to clinical laboratories that examine or conduct testing onmaterials derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease or for the assessment ofthe health of human beings. CLIA requirements apply to those laboratories that handle biological matter. CLIA requires that these laboratories be certified bythe government, satisfy governmental quality and personnel standards, undergo proficiency testing, be subject to biennial inspections, and remit fees. Thesanctions for failure to comply with CLIA include suspension, revocation, or limitation of a laboratory's CLIA certificate necessary to conduct business,fines, or criminal penalties. Additionally, CLIA certification may sometimes be needed when an entity, such as PCT or NeoStem Family Storage, desire toobtain accreditation, certification, or license from non-government entities for cord blood collection, storage, and processing. PCT has obtained CLIAcertification for its facilities in New Jersey. We have been advised that, currently, CLIA certification is not required for our PCT facilities in California.However, to the extent that any of the activities of PCT or NeoStem Family Storage (for example, with regard to processing or testing blood and bloodproducts) require CLIA certification, PCT intends to obtain and maintain such certification and/or licensure.Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005 established a national donor bank of cord blood and created a national network for matchingcord blood to patients. The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) carries out this legislation, which entails acting as the nation's Cord Blood CoordinatingCenter and actively recruiting parents for cord blood donations. The NMDP also administers the National Cord Blood Inventory (NCBI), which has a goal ofcollecting 150,000 cord blood units that could be used to treat patients all over the United States. Importantly, the legislation also authorized federal funding tosupport the legislation's goals for collecting cord blood units.15Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

IndexPharmaceutical and Biologic ProductsGovernment authorities in the United States, at the federal, state and local level, and in other countries, extensively regulate, among other things, theresearch, development, testing, manufacture, including any manufacturing changes, packaging, storage, recordkeeping, labeling, advertising promotion,distribution, marketing, import and export of biological products such as AMR-001. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals and thesubsequent compliance with appropriate statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and money, and there is no guarantee that we willsuccessfully complete the steps needed to obtain regulatory approval of AMR-001 or any future product candidates. In addition, these regulations may changeand our product candidates may be subject to new legislation or regulations.In the United States, pharmaceutical and biologic products, including cellular therapies, are subject to extensive pre- and post-market regulation bythe U.S. FDA. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FD&C Act”), and other federal and state statutes and regulations, govern, among other things,the research, development, testing, manufacture, storage, recordkeeping, approval of a New Drug Application, or (“NDA”), labeling, promotion andmarketing, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, sampling, and import and export of pharmaceutical products. Biological products areapproved for marketing under provisions of the Public Health Service Act, or PHS Act. However, because most biological products also meet the definition of“drugs” under the FD&C Act, they are also subject to regulation under FD&C Act provisions. The PHS Act requires the submission of a biologics licenseapplication (“BLA”), rather than an NDA, for market authorization. However, the application process and requirements for approval of BLAs are verysimilar to those for NDAs, and biologics are associated with similar approval risks and costs as drugs. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. requirements may subject a company to a variety of administrative or judicial sanctions, such as FDA refusal toapprove pending NDAs or BLAs, untitled or warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution,injunctions, fines, civil penalties, and criminal prosecution.Pharmaceutical product development in the U.S. typically involves preclinical laboratory and animal tests, the submission to the FDA of a notice ofclaimed investigational exemption or an investigational new drug application (“IND”), which must become effective before clinical testing can commence, andadequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness of the drug or biologic for each indication for which FDA approval issought. Satisfaction of FDA pre-market approval requirements typically takes many years and the actual time required may vary substantially based upon thetype, complexity and novelty of the product or disease.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry, formulation and toxicity, as well as animal trials to assess the characteristics andpotential safety and efficacy of the product. The conduct of the preclinical tests must comply with federal regulations and requirements including goodlaboratory practices. The results of preclinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND along with other information including information aboutproduct chemistry, manufacturing and controls and a proposed clinical trial protocol. Long term preclinical tests, such as animal tests of reproductive toxicityand carcinogenicity, may continue after the IND is submitted.Submission of an IND may not result in FDA authorization to commence a clinical trial if FDA raises concerns or questions about the conduct of theclinical trial, including concerns that human research subjects will be exposed to unreasonable health risks. A separate submission to an existing IND mustalso be made for each successive clinical trial conducted during product development.Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational new drug to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of a qualifiedinvestigator. Clinical trials must be conducted in compliance with federal regulations; good clinical practice, or GCP, as set forth in FDA regulations andguidance, which is meant to protect the rights and health of patients and to define the roles of clinical trial sponsors, administrators, and monitors; as well asunder protocols detailing the objectives of the trial, the parameters to be used in monitoring safety and the effectiveness criteria to be evaluated. Each protocolinvolving testing on U.S. patients and subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Sponsors of clinical trials of FDAregulated products, including drugs and biologics, are required to register and disclose certain clinical trial information. Information related to the product,patient population, phase of investigation, study sites and investigators, and other aspects of the clinical trial is then made public as part of the registration.Sponsors are also obligated to discuss the results of their clinical trials after completion. Competitors may use this publicly available information to gainknowledge regarding the progress of development programs16Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexThe FDA may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of a clinical trial at any time, or impose other sanctions, if it believes that theclinical trial is not being conducted in accordance with FDA requirements, or presents an unacceptable risk to the clinical trial patients. The study protocoland informed consent information for patients in clinical trials must also be submitted to an institutional review board, or IRB, for approval. An IRB may alsorequire the clinical trial at the site to be halted, either temporarily or permanently, for failure to comply with the IRB's requirements, or may impose otherconditions.Clinical trials to support NDAs or BLAs for marketing approval are typically conducted in four sequential phases, but the phases may overlap.•Phase 1: Studies are initially conducted in a limited population to test the product candidate for safety, dose tolerance, absorption, metabolism,distribution and excretion in healthy humans or, on occasion, in patients, such as cancer patients when the drug or biologic is too toxic to be ethicallygiven to healthy individuals.•Phase 2: Studies are generally conducted in a limited patient population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to determine theefficacy of the product for specific targeted indications and to determine dose tolerance and optimal dosage. Multiple Phase 2 clinical trials may beconducted by the sponsor to obtain information prior to beginning larger and more expensive Phase 3 clinical trials.•Phase 3: These are commonly referred to as pivotal studies. When Phase 2 evaluations demonstrate that a dose range of the product is effective andhas an acceptable safety profile, Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken in large patient populations to further evaluate dosage, to provide substantialevidence of clinical efficacy and to further test for safety in an expanded and diverse patient population at multiple, geographically-dispersed clinicaltrial sites. In most cases FDA requires two adequate and well controlled Phase 3 clinical trials to demonstrate the efficacy of the drug. A single Phase3 trial with other confirmatory evidence may be sufficient in rare instances where the study is a large multicenter trial demonstrating internalconsistency and a statistically very persuasive finding of a clinically meaningful effect on mortality, irreversible morbidity or prevention of a diseasewith a potentially serious outcome and confirmation of the result in a second trial would be practically or ethically impossible.•Phase 4: In some cases, FDA may condition approval of an NDA or BLA for a product candidate on the sponsor's agreement to conduct additionalclinical trials after NDA or BLA approval. In other cases, a Sponsor may voluntarily carry out additional trials post approval to gain moreinformation about the drug or biologic. Such post approval trials are typically referred to as Phase 4 studies.After completion of the required clinical testing, an NDA or BLA is prepared and submitted to the FDA. FDA approval of the NDA or BLA isrequired before marketing of the product may begin in the U.S. The NDA or BLA must include the results of all preclinical, clinical, and other testing and acompilation of data relating to the product's pharmacology, chemistry, manufacture, and controls. The cost of preparing and submitting an NDA or BLA issubstantial. Under federal law, the submission of most NDAs or BLAs is additionally subject to a substantial application user fee, currently exceeding$1,958,000, and the manufacturer and/or sponsor under an approved new drug application are also subject to annual product and establishment user fees,currently exceeding $98,000 per product and $526,000 per establishment. These fees are typically increased annually.The FDA has 60 days from its receipt of an NDA or BLA to determine whether the application will be accepted for filing based on the agency'sthreshold determination that it is sufficiently complete to permit substantive review. Once the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depthreview. The FDA has agreed to certain performance goals in the review of NDAs and BLAs. Most such applications for standard review drug or biologicproducts are reviewed within ten to twelve months; most applications for priority review drugs or biologics are reviewed in six to eight months. FDA can extendthese reviews by three months. Priority review can be applied to drugs or biologics that the FDA determines offer major advances in treatment, or provide atreatment where no adequate therapy exists. For biologics, priority review is further limited only for products intended to treat a serious or life-threateningdisease relative to the currently approved products. The review process for both standard and priority review may be extended by the FDA for three additional months to consider certain late-submittedinformation, or information intended to clarify information already provided in the submission. The FDA may also refer applications for novel drug orbiologic products, or drug or biologic products which present difficult questions of safety or efficacy, to an advisory committee, typically a panel thatincludes clinicians and other experts, for review, evaluation, and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved. The FDA is not boundby the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it generally follows such recommendations.Before approving an NDA or BLA, the FDA will typically inspect one or more clinical sites to assure compliance with GCP. Additionally, the FDAwill inspect the facility or the facilities at which the drug is manufactured. The FDA will not approve the product unless compliance with cGMP - a qualitysystem regulating manufacturing - is satisfactory and the NDA or BLA contains data that provide substantial evidence that the drug or biologic is safe andeffective in the indication studied.17Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexAfter the FDA evaluates the NDA and the manufacturing facilities, it issues an approval letter or a complete response letter. A complete response lettergenerally outlines the deficiencies in the submission and may require substantial additional testing or information in order for the FDA to reconsider theapplication. If and when those deficiencies have been addressed to the FDA's satisfaction in a resubmission of the NDA, the FDA will issue an approval letter.The FDA has committed to reviewing such resubmissions in 2 or 6 months depending on the type of information included.Additional ControlsThe PHS Act also provides authority to the FDA to immediately suspend licenses in situations where there exists a danger to public health, to prepareor procure products in the event of shortages and critical public health needs, and to authorize the creation and enforcement of regulations to prevent theintroduction or spread of communicable diseases in the U.S. and between states.BiosimilarsThe Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Affordable Care Act, signed into law on March 23, 2010, included a subtitle called the BiologicsPrice Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, or BPCI Act, which created an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products shown to be highlysimilar to, or interchangeable with, an FDA-licensed reference biological product. This is conceptually similar to the established process for drug approval inthat it attempts to minimize duplicative testing. Biosimilarity, which requires that there be no differences in conditions of use, route of administration, dosageform, and strength and there be no clinically meaningful differences between the biological product and the reference product in terms of safety, purity, andpotency, must be shown through analytical studies, animal studies, and at least one clinical study, absent a waiver by the Secretary. Interchangeabilityrequires that a product must demonstrate that it can be expected to produce the same clinical results as the reference product and, for products administeredmultiple times, the biologic and the reference biologic may be switched after one has been previously administered without increasing safety risks or risks ofdiminished efficacy relative to exclusive use of the reference biologic. No biosimilar or interchangeable products have been approved under the BPCIA to date.Complexities associated with the larger and often more complex structures of biological products, as well as the process by which such products aremanufactured, pose significant hurdles to implementation that are still being worked out by the FDA.A reference biologic is granted twelve years of exclusivity from the time of first licensure of the reference product, and no application for a biosimilarcan be submitted for four years from the date of licensure of the reference product. The first biologic product submitted under the abbreviated approvalpathway that is determined to be interchangeable with the reference product has exclusivity against other biologics submitting under the abbreviated approvalpathway for the same condition for the lesser of (i) one year after first commercial marketing of the first interchangeable biosimilar, (ii) eighteen months afterafter the first interchangeable biosimilar is approved if there is no legal challenge, (iii) 18 months after the resolution in the first interchangeable applicant'sfavor of a lawsuit challenging the reference biologics' patents, or (iv) 42 months after the first interchangeable biosimilar's application has been approved if alawsuit is ongoing within the 42 month period.Post-Approval RegulationOnce an NDA or BLA is approved, a product will be subject to certain post-approval requirements. For instance, FDA closely regulates the post-approval marketing and promotion of drugs, including standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, industry-sponsoredscientific and educational activities and promotional activities involving the internet. As a condition of NDA or BLA approval, the FDA may require a riskevaluation and mitigation strategy, or REMS, to help ensure that the benefits of the product drug outweigh the potential risks. REMS can include medicationguides, communication plans for healthcare professionals, and elements to assure safe use, or ETASU. The requirement for a REMS can materially affect thepotential market and profitability of the product.Drugs may be marketed only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling. Changes to some of theconditions established in an approved application, including changes in indications, labeling, or manufacturing processes or facilities, require submissionand FDA approval of a new NDA or BLA or NDA supplement or BLA supplement before the change can be implemented. An NDA or BLA supplement for anew indication typically requires clinical data similar to that in the original application, and the FDA uses the same procedures and actions in reviewing NDAsupplements and BLA supplements as it does in reviewing NDAs or BLAs. The FDA has broad enforcement authority under the FDC Act, and failure toabide by these regulations can result in enforcement action, including the issuance of a Warning Letter directing entities to correct deviations from FDAstandards, a requirement that future advertising and promotional materials be pre-cleared by the FDA, and federal civil and criminal investigations,prosecutions and penalties. State enforcement actions relating to promotional violations are also becoming more common.18Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexAdverse experiences associated with the use of the drug must be reported to the FDA and could result in the imposition of market restrictions throughlabeling changes or in product removal. Product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory requirements is not maintained or if problemsconcerning safety or efficacy of the product occur following approval. The FDA may also require a labeling change if it becomes aware of new safetyinformation that it believes should be included in the labeling of a drug.Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) StandardsAdditional FDA laws and regulations govern the quality control, manufacture, packaging, and labeling procedures of products regulated as a drug,biological product, or medical device, including cellular therapies comprised of HCT/Ps. These laws and regulations include requirements for cGMP. Theserequirements are designed to ensure that a facility's processes - and products resulting from those processes - meet defined safety requirements. The cGMPrequirements, are federal regulations that govern the manufacture, processing, packaging and holding of drug and cell therapy products.The objective of compliance with cGMP standards is to protect the public health and safety by ensuring that products (i) have the identity, strength,quality and purity that they purport or are represented to possess; (ii) meet their specifications; and (iii) are free of objectionable microorganisms andcontamination.A central focus of the cGMP requirements is to design and build quality into the manufacturing processes and the facilities in which products areproduced and to ensure the consistency, product integrity, and reproducibility of results and product characteristics. This is done by implementing qualitysystems and processes including specifications and documentation.In addition, drug manufacturers and certain of their subcontractors are required to register their establishments with FDA and certain state agencies.Registration with the FDA subjects entities to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA, during which the agency inspects manufacturing facilities toassess compliance with cGMPs. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in the areas of production and quality-control tomaintain compliance with cGMPs. Failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements can result in regulatory inspections and associated observations,warning letters, other requirements of remedial action, and, in the case of failures that are more serious, suspension of manufacturing operations, seizure,injunctions, product recalls, fines, and other penalties. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with applicable existing FDA requirements.Additionally, FDA, other regulatory agencies, or the United States Congress may be considering, and may enact laws or regulations regarding the useand marketing of stem cells, cell therapy products, or products derived from human cells or tissue. These laws and regulations can affect us directly or thebusiness of some of PCT's clients and therefore the amount of business PCT receives from these clients.Pediatric Information Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act, or PREA, NDAs or BLAs or supplements to NDAs or BLAs must contain data to assess the safety andeffectiveness of the drug for the claimed indications in all relevant pediatric subpopulations and to support dosing and administration for each pediatricsubpopulation for which the drug is safe and effective. The FDA may grant full or partial waivers or deferrals for submission of data.Other Health Care RegulationsHealth Privacy LawsThe Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by theHealth Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH Act”), require health care plans, health care providers and health careclearinghouses, collectively defined under HIPAA as “Covered Entities,” to comply with standards for the use and disclosure of health information withinsuch organizations and with third parties. These include standards for:•Common health care transactions, such as claims information, plan eligibility, payment information and the use of electronic signatures;•Unique identifiers for providers, employers, health plans and individuals; and•Security and privacy of health information.19Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexAlthough the obligations of HIPAA only apply directly to Covered Entities, any Covered Entity that uses third parties (referred to in HIPAA as“Business Associates”) to perform functions on its behalf involving the creation or use of certain patient health information is required to have a contract withthe Business Associate that limits the use and disclosure of such information by the Business Associate.HIPAA does not preempt, or override, state privacy laws that provide even more protection for individuals' health information. These laws'requirements could further complicate Amorcyte's ability to obtain necessary research data from its collaborators. In addition, certain state privacy and genetictesting laws may directly regulate our research activities, affecting the manner in which we use and disclose individuals' health information, potentiallyincreasing the cost of doing business, and exposing us to liability claims. In addition, patients and research collaborators may have contractual rights thatfurther limit our ability to use and disclose individually identifiable health information. Claims that we violated individuals' privacy rights or breached itscontractual obligations, even if we are not found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that couldharm the business.While we believe that the current business operations of PCT or NeoStem Family Storage would not cause either of them to be considered a CoveredEntity, there is a risk that due to conflicting interpretations of the regulations, NeoStem Family Storage may be a Covered Entity. If NeoStem Family Storage isa Covered Entity, there is a risk of liability that NeoStem Family Storage may not be complying fully with all HIPAA requirements. PCT has signed BusinessAssociate Agreements where requested by PCT's customers who are Covered Entities, which would require compliance with certain privacy and securityrequirements relating to individually identifiable health information created or used in connection with such relationships. PCT is in substantial compliancewith such Business Associate Agreements. However, given the law's complexity and the possibility that the regulations may change and may be subject tochanging and even conflicting interpretation, PCT's ability to comply fully with all of the HIPAA requirements and requirements of its Business AssociateAgreements is uncertain. Further, as a result of amendments the HITECH Act, PCT's and NeoStem Family Storage's compliance burden has increased andthey will be subject to audit and enforcement by the federal government and, in some cases, by state authorities. Further, they are obligated to publicly disclosewrongful disclosures or losses of personal health information.Fraud and Abuse LawsIn addition to FDA restrictions on marketing of pharmaceutical products, several other types of state and federal laws have been applied to restrictcertain marketing practices in the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. These laws include anti-kickback statutes and false claims statutes. The federalhealthcare program anti-kickback statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration toinduce or in return for purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for the purchase, lease or order of any healthcare item or service reimbursable underMedicare, Medicaid or other federally financed healthcare programs. This statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements between pharmaceuticalmanufacturers on the one hand and prescribers, purchasers and formulary managers on the other. Violations of the anti-kickback statute are punishable byimprisonment, criminal prosecution, civil monetary penalties and exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs. Although there are a number ofstatutory exemptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting certain common activities from prosecution or other regulatory sanctions, the exemptions and safeharbors are drawn narrowly, and practices that involve remuneration intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject toscrutiny if they do not qualify for an exemption or safe harbor.Federal false claims laws prohibit any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim for payment to the federalgovernment, or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement to have a false claim paid. Recently, several pharmaceutical and other healthcarecompanies have been prosecuted under these laws for allegedly inflating drug prices they report to pricing services, which in turn were used by the governmentto set Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates, and for allegedly providing free product to customers with the expectation that the customers would billfederal programs for the product. In addition, certain marketing practices, including off-label promotion, may also violate false claims laws. The majority ofstates also have statutes or regulations similar to the federal anti-kickback statute and false claims laws, which apply to items and services reimbursed underMedicaid and other state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the payor.Affordable Care ActIn late March 2010, the Federal government enacted the comprehensive health care reform package, the Affordable Care Act. Among other provisions,the Affordable Care Act imposes individual and employer health insurance requirements, provides certain insurance subsidies (e.g., premiums and costsharing), mandates extensive insurance market reforms, creates new health insurance access points (e.g., State-based health insurance exchanges), expands theMedicaid program, promotes research on comparative clinical effectiveness of different technologies and procedures, and makes a number of changes to howproducts and services will be reimbursed by the Medicare program.

IndexAct have made it easier for private parties to bring “qui tam” (whistleblower) lawsuits against companies, under which the whistleblower may be entitled toreceive a percentage of any money paid to the government.There are a number of provisions in the Affordable Care Act that may directly impact our customers and, therefore, indirectly affect us. For example,the Affordable Care Act expands the number of individuals that will be covered by either private or public health insurance, which may, in turn, increase thepool of potential purchasers for our customers' products to the extent they are reimbursable by private or public health insurance. The Affordable Care Act alsorequires health insurance issuers in the individual and small group markets to cover certain “essential health benefits,” which include prescription drugs andwhich may increase coverage for our customers' products. In addition, the Affordable Care Act reduces income and raises costs for our customers through, forinstance, the imposition of drug price discounts for Medicare Part D enrollees in the “donut hole” and the imposition of an annual fee on prescription drug andbiologic manufacturers. Such provisions may cause our customers to seek to restrain costs in other areas, including the services that we provide. The effectivedates of the various provisions within the Affordable Care Act are staggered over the next several years, with some changes occurring immediately. Much of theinterpretation of the Affordable Care Act will be subject to administrative rulemaking, the development of agency guidance, and court interpretation.Other Applicable LawsIn addition to those described above, other federal and state laws and regulations that could directly or indirectly affect our ability to operate thebusiness and/or financial performance include:•state and local licensure, registration and regulation of laboratories, the processing and storage of human cells and tissue, and the development andmanufacture of pharmaceuticals and biologics;•other laws and regulations administered by the United States FDA, including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and related laws andregulations and the Public Health Service Act and related laws and regulations;•laws and regulations administered by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, including the Office for Human ResearchProtections;•state laws and regulations governing human subject research;•federal and state coverage and reimbursement laws and regulations, including laws and regulations administered by the Centers for Medicare &Medicaid Services and state Medicaid agencies;•the federal Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Kickback Law and similar state laws and regulations;•the federal physician self-referral prohibition commonly known as the Stark Law, and state equivalents of the Stark Law;•Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) requirements;•state and local laws and regulations dealing with the handling and disposal of medical waste; and•the Intermediate Sanctions rules of the IRS providing for potential financial sanctions with respect to “Excess Benefit Transactions” with HUMC orother tax-exempt organizations.Other RegulationsWe are also subject to various local, state and federal laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturingpractices, the experimental use of animals and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including chemicals, micro-organismsand various radioactive compounds used in connection with our research and development activities. These laws include, but are not limited to, theOccupational Safety and Health Act, the Toxic Test Substances Control Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Although we believe that oursafety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with the standards prescribed by state and federal regulations, there can be noassurances that accidental contamination or injury to employees and third parties from these materials will not occur. Our insurance program does not includeenvironmental coverage.Product Approval and Post-Approval Regulation Outside the United StatesWe intend to seek to market our products in numerous jurisdictions outside the U.S. Most of these jurisdictions have product approval and post-approval regulatory processes that are similar in principle to those in the U.S. In Europe, where most of our ex-U.S. efforts are focused, there are severaltracks for marketing approval, depending on the type of product for which approval is sought. Under the centralized procedure, a company submits a singleapplication to the EMA. The marketing application is similar to the NDA or BLA in the U.S. and is evaluated by the Committee for Medicinal Products forHuman Use (CHMP), the expert scientific committee of the EMA. If the CHMP determines that the marketing application fulfills the requirements for quality,safety, and efficacy, it will submit a favorable opinion to the European Commission ("EC"). The CHMP opinion is not binding, but is typically adopted bythe EC. A marketing application approved by the EC is valid in all member states. The centralized procedure is required for all biological products, orphanmedicinal products, and new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders,21Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Indexand it is available for certain other products, including those which constitute a significant therapeutic, scientific or technical innovation.In addition to the centralized procedure, Europe also has: (1) a nationalized procedure, which requires a separate application to and approvaldetermination by each country; (2) a decentralized procedure, whereby applicants submit identical applications to several countries and receive simultaneousapproval; and (3) a mutual recognition procedure, where applicants submit an application to one country for review and other countries may accept or rejectthe initial decision. Regardless of the approval process employed, various parties share responsibilities for the monitoring, detection, and evaluation of adverseevents post-approval, including national authorities, the EMA, the EC, and the marketing authorization holder. In some regions, it is possible to receive an“accelerated” review whereby the national regulatory authority will commit to truncated review timelines for products that meet specific medical needs.To date, we have not initiated any discussions with the European Medicines Agency or any other foreign regulatory authorities with respect to seekingregulatory approval for AMR-001 in Europe or in any other country outside the United States.EMPLOYEESAs of December 31, 2012, we had 97 full-time employees, including the employees of our subsidiaries. Most of our senior management andprofessional employees have had prior experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. None of our employees is covered by collective bargainingagreements. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.22Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

RISK FACTORS.Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows can be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forthbelow, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results. The risks described beloware not the only ones we face, but those we currently consider to be material. There may be other risks which we now consider immaterial, or which areunknown or unpredictable, with respect to our business, our competition, the regulatory environment or otherwise that could have a material adverse effect onour business.RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITIONWe anticipate that we will need substantial additional financing in the future to continue our operations; if we are unable to raise additionalcapital, as and when needed, or on acceptable terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate one or more of our product developmentprograms, cell therapy initiatives or commercialization efforts and our business will harmed. Our current operating plan will require significant levels of additional capital to fund, among other things, the continued development of our cell therapyproduct candidates and the operation, enhancement and expansion of our contract development and manufacturing operations to support our customers andour clinical development activities. In 2012, our research and development expenses increased significantly as a result of the initiation of the AMR-001 Phase 2 clinical trial. This trial isexpected to continue to enroll patients throughout 2013. Even beyond the conclusion of the current study, if successful. AMR-001 will require significantinvestment over a period of several years before it could be approved by FDA and commercialized by us, if ever. If the results of the current Phase 2 trial arepositive, we will need to conduct additional clinical studies of the product, including larger and more expensive pivotal Phase 3 studies. To do so, we will needto raise additional money in the capital markets, enter into collaboration agreements with third parties or undertake some combination thereof. If we areunsuccessful in these efforts, we will likely need to otherwise delay or abandon the trials. The amount and timing of our future capital requirements also will likely depend on many other factors, including:•the scope, progress, results, costs, timing and outcomes of our other cell therapy research and development programs and product candidates;•our ability to enter into any collaboration agreements with third parties for our other product candidates and the timing and terms of any suchagreements;•the timing of and the costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates, a process which could be particularly lengthy orcomplex given the FDA's limited experience with marketing approval for cell therapy products; and•the costs of maintaining, expanding and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities.To both fund our AMR-001 clinical studies and support our future operations, we would likely seek to raise capital through a variety of different publicand/or private financings vehicles. This could include, but not be limited to, use of our equity line with Aspire Capital, as described below, potential warrantexercises, option exercises, issuances of other debt or equity securities in public or private financings, and/or sale of assets. If we raise capital through the saleof equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to our then existing stockholders. Servicing the interest and principal repaymentobligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support research and development, clinical or commercializationactivities. In certain cases, we also may seek funding through collaborative arrangements, that would likely require us to relinquish certain rights to ourtechnology or product candidates and share in the future revenues associated with the partnered product.Ultimately, we may be unable to raise capital or enter into collaborative relationships on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to obtainnecessary capital or financing to fund our future operating needs could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have incurred substantial losses and negative cash flow from operations in the past, and expect to continue to incur losses and negative cashflow for the foreseeable future.We have a limited operating history, limited capital, and limited sources of revenue. Since our inception in 1980 through December 31, 2012, we haveincurred aggregate net losses of approximately $197.4 million. Our net losses attributable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2012 andDecember 31, 2011 were approximately $55.3 million and $47.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents were $13.7million.

For example, from January 1, 2012 throughFebruary 28, 2013 our common stock traded as low as $0.30 per share and as high as $0.90 per share; in 2011, our Common Stock traded as low as $0.43per share and as high as $2.10 per share.The market price for our common stock is highly dependent on, among other things, our clinical development efforts with respect to AMR-001, theprofitability and growth of our cell therapy services business, the amount of our available cash and investments and our level of cash utilization. Future eventscould increase the volatility seen in our Common Stock and ultimately cause a significant decline in the price of our common stock and ultimately impact ourability to raise additional capital in the future. These events could including the following, among others:•low levels of trading volume for our shares;•capital-raising or other transactions that are, or may in the future be, dilutive to existing stockholders or that involve the issuance of debt securities;•delays in our clinical trials, negative clinical trial results or adverse regulatory decisions relating to our product candidates;•adverse fluctuations in our revenues or operating results or financial results that otherwise fall below the market's expectations;•disappointing developments concerning our PCT clients or other potential business partners for our product candidates; and•legal challenges, disputes and/or other adverse developments impacting our patents or other proprietary rights that protect our products.In addition, broader external events, such as news concerning economic or market conditions in the general economy or within our industry, the activitiesof our competitors, changes (or the threat of changes) in U.S. or foreign government regulations impacting the life sciences industry or the movement of capitalinto or out of our industry, are likely to affect the price of our Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will notcontinue to fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. In addition to potential dilution associated with future fundraising transactions, we currently have significant numbers of securities outstandingthat are convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock, which could result in significant additional dilution and downward pressure onour stock price. As of December 31, 2012, there were 163,753,653 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. In addition, there were outstanding stock options andwarrants representing the potential issuance of an additional 77,316,791 shares of our Common Stock. The issuance of these shares in the future wouldresult in significant dilution to our current stockholders and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock and the terms on which we could raiseadditional capital. In addition, the issuance and subsequent trading of shares could cause the supply of our Common Stock available for purchase in themarket to exceed the purchase demand for our Common Stock. Such supply in excess of demand could cause the market price of our Common Stock todecline.Sales of our Common Stock to Aspire Capital pursuant to our Purchase Agreement may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholdersand the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Aspire Capital could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.The Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC in September 2011, as amended on August 23, 2012, pursuant towhich Aspire Capital committed to the purchase of up to $20 million of shares of the Company’s Common Stock over the term of that Agreement, subject tocertain terms and conditions, including a floor price as set forth in the Agreement.In the fourth quarter of 2012, Aspire purchased 5,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately $3.3million. After Aspire Capital acquires shares under the Purchase Agreement, it may sell all or some of those shares. Sales to Aspire Capital by us pursuant tothe Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. The sale of a substantial number of shares ofour Common Stock to Aspire Capital, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future ata time and at a price that24Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Aspire Capital and thePurchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.In the event we effect a reverse stock split, there can be no assurances that it would have the desired effects on our common stock. At our 2012 Annual Meeting, our stockholders authorized our Board of Directors, if they deem it advisable, to amend our certificate of incorporationto effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio within the range of 1:2 to 1:10, as determined by our Board. While we would intend any reversestock split that might be effected pursuant to this authorization to have a beneficial impact on our common stock and investor interest, there can be noassurances that any such reverse split would have the intended effects. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company's common stock to decline inthe period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock were to decline following an implementation by us of a reverse stock split,the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. Actual and beneficial ownership of large quantities of our Common Stock by our executive officers and directors may substantially reduce theinfluence of other stockholders. As of December 31, 2012, our executive officers and directors owned, of record and beneficially, an aggregate of approximately 18.5% and 26.0%,respectively, of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, such persons may have the ability to exercise enhanced control and influence over the approvalprocess for actions that require stockholder approval, including the approval of mergers, sales of assets or other significant corporate transactions or othermatters submitted for stockholder approval. Furthermore, at certain times the interests of our substantial stockholders may conflict with the interests of ourother stockholders.Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have amaterial adverse effect on our business and stock price. During the course of testing our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we may identify and disclose materialweaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that will have to be remedied. Implementing any appropriate changes to ourinternal control may require specific compliance training of our directors, officers and employees, entail substantial costs to modify our existing accountingsystems, and take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controlover financial reporting, and any failure to maintain that adequacy or inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis could result in ourfinancial statements being unreliable, increase our operating costs and materially impair our ability to operate our business. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports andcould have a material adverse effect on our stock price. Additionally, failure to maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting could result ingovernment investigation or sanctions by regulatory authorities. RISKS RELATED TO OUR CELL THERAPY PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EFFORTSOur future success is dependent in part, on the timely and successful development and commercialization of AMR-001, and if we encounter delaysor difficulties in the development of this product candidate, our business prospects would be significantly harmed.We are, in part, dependent upon the successful development, approval and commercialization of AMR-001 for the treatment of cardiovasculardisease. AMR-001 is in an early stage of development. Before we are able to seek regulatory approval, we must conduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrateAMR-001's safety and efficacy in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, and can take many years to complete. Importantly,a failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trialsthat could delay or prevent our ability to complete our clinical studies, receive regulatory approval or commercialize AMR-001, including the following:25Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Index (cid:0)suspensions, delays or changes in the design, initiation, enrollment, implementation or completion of required clinical trials; (cid:0)adverse changes in our financial position or significant and unexpected increases in the cost of our clinical development program; (cid:0)changes or uncertainties in, or additions to, the regulatory approval process that require us to alter our current development strategy; (cid:0)clinical trial results that are negative, inconclusive or even less than desired as to AMR-001's safety and/or efficacy, which could result in the needfor additional clinical studies or the termination of the product's development; and (cid:0)delays in the ability to manufacture the product in quantities or in a form that is suitable for any required clinical trials; (cid:0)intellectual property constraints that prevent us from making, using, or commercializing AMR-001; and (cid:0)the supply or quality of our product candidates or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of these product candidates may beinsufficient or inadequate.During our Phase 1 trial of AMR-001 for post AMI patients, serious adverse events occurred in subjects treated with AMR-001. To date, in our Phase2 trial of AMR-001 for post AMI patients, serious adverse events occurred which may or may not have been in the group of subjects treated with AMR-001.There can be no assurance that similar or other additional events will not occur in the Phase 2 or any other future clinical trials of AMR-001, particularly inlight of the impaired heart function of patients who will be the target subject population of AMR-001.Even if we are able to successfully complete our clinical development program for AMR-001 and ultimately receive regulatory approval to market theproduct, we may, among other things: (cid:0)obtain approval for indications that are not as broad as the indications we sought; (cid:0)have the product removed from the market after obtaining marketing approval; (cid:0)encounter issues with respect to the manufacturing of commercial supplies; (cid:0)be subject to additional post-marketing testing requirements; and/or (cid:0)be subject to restrictions on how the product is distributed or used.We may experience delays in enrolling patients in our clinical trials, which could delay or prevent the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.We may not be able to complete the current PreSERVE Phase 2 clinical trial of AMR-001 as anticipated (or initiate any future trials) if we are unableto identify and enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in the clinical trials required by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. For example,we had originally expected to complete the PreSERVE Phase 2 trial of AMR-001 earlier in 2013, but now expect to complete enrollment for this study later in2013. We also may be unable to engage a sufficient number of clinical trial sites to conduct our trials. The challenge of enrolling patients will become moredifficult if we are required by the FDA or a similar regulatory agency outside the United States to conduct a trial on a larger population than we currentlyanticipate. In that event, we might be required to seek patients to participate in our trials from Europe or other foreign jurisdictions, which could raiseregulatory uncertainties and increase clinical trial costs. Moreover, because PCT does not currently have manufacturing facilities operating outside of theUnited States, our ability to conduct trials outside of the U.S. may be constrained by our ability to transport trial materials to foreign destinations within theexpiry period of such materials unless, and until we commence operation outside of the United States.We may face challenges in enrolling patients to participate in our clinical trials due to the novelty of our cell-based therapies, the size of the patientpopulations and the eligibility criteria for enrollment in the trial. In addition, some patients may have concerns regarding cell therapy that may negatively affecttheir perception of therapies under development and their decision to enroll in the trials. Furthermore, patients suffering from diseases within target indicationsmay enroll in competing clinical trials, which could negatively affect our ability to complete enrollment of our trials. Enrollment challenges in clinical trialsoften result in increased development costs for a product candidate, significant delays and potentially the abandonment of the clinical trial.Our development of AMR-001 is subject to uncertainty because CD34+ cells are derived from human bone marrow, a source material that isinherently variable.The number of CD34+/CXCR4+-cells and the composition of the CD34+ cell population from bone marrow vary from patient to patient. These cellsare the basis of AMR-001. Such variability in the number and composition of these cells could adversely affect our ability to manufacture AMR-001 in a cost-effective manner and meet acceptable product release specifications26Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

As a consequence, the development and regulatory approval process for AMR-001 (or any of ourother CD34+ product candidates) could be delayed or may never be completed.Any disruption to our access to the cell sorting system we are using in the Phase 2 clinical trial of AMR-001 could adversely affect the completionof the trial and any future regulatory submission.The cell sorting system that we are using in our Phase 2 clinical trial of AMR-001 is owned by an unaffiliated third party. Any lack of continuedavailability of this system, for any reason, would have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete the Phase 2 or any subsequent clinical studies ofAMR-001. Moreover, any data obtained in studies using the current system may not be usable in a regulatory submission unless we can establishcomparability between the current cell sorting system and any future system. Although there are other available systems in the marketplace, we have notevaluated their cost, safety or effectiveness, or whether AMR-001 would be compatible with such systems.The initiation of a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for AMR-001 will require the validation and establishment of manufacturing controls that maydelay the product's current development timeline.If the results of our Phase 2 clinical trial of AMR-001 are positive and support Phase 3 development, we expect to initiate and complete one or morepivotal Phase 3 clinical trials. To do so, we are required to have certain validated and established manufacturing controls with respect to the safety, purity andpotency of AMR-001 when administered to patients. We may not be successful in our efforts to address any chemistry, manufacturing and controls, or CMC,issues raised by the FDA. If we cannot initiate, or if we are delayed in initiating, a pivotal Phase 3 clinical program of AMR-001 as a result of our failure tosatisfy the FDA's CMC concerns or otherwise, the timing of our planned regulatory submission for commercialization of AMR-001 would be delayed, or wemay be unable to seek regulatory approval to commercialize AMR-001 at all.We presently lack sufficient manufacturing capabilities to produce AMR-001 at commercial scale quantities and do not have an alternatemanufacturing supply, which could negatively impact our ability to meet any future demand for the product.Currently, PCT exclusively provides the cell processing services necessary for clinical production of AMR-001 and also provides services andproduces materials for clinical trials on behalf of unaffiliated third parties. To date, PCT has not produced any products at commercial scale quantities. Weexpect that we would need to significantly expand our manufacturing capabilities to meet potential demand for AMR-001, if approved, as well as any of ourother product candidates that might attain regulatory approval. Such expansion would require additional regulatory approvals. Even if we increase ourmanufacturing capabilities, it is possible that we may still lack sufficient capacity to meet demand. Ultimately, if we are unable to supply AMR-001 to meetcommercial demand, whether because of processing constraints or other disruptions, delays or difficulties that we experience, sales of the product and its longterm commercial prospects could be significantly damaged.We do not presently have any alternate supply for AMR-001. If our facility where AMR-001 is currently being manufactured or equipment weresignificantly damaged or destroyed, or if there were other disruptions, delays or difficulties affecting manufacturing capacity, the ongoing Phase 2 clinicalstudy and future clinical studies and commercial production for AMR-001 would likely be significantly disrupted and delayed. It would be both timeconsuming and expensive to replace this capacity with third parties, particularly since any new facility would need to comply with the regulatoryrequirements.Ultimately, if we are unable to supply AMR-001 to meet commercial demand, whether because of processing constraints or other disruptions, delaysor difficulties that we experience, our production costs could dramatically increase and sales of the product and its long-term commercial prospects could besignificantly damaged.The commercial potential and profitability of AMR-001 is unknown and subject to significant risk and uncertainty.Even if we successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval for AMR-001, the market may not understand or accept the product, which couldadversely affect both the timing and level of future sales. Ultimately, the degree of market acceptance of AMR-001 (or any of our future product candidates)will depend on a number of factors, including: (cid:0)the clinical effectiveness, safety and convenience of AMR-001, particularly in relation to alternative treatments; (cid:0)our ability to distinguish AMR-001 from any ethical and political controversies associated with stem cell products derived from human embryonicor fetal tissue; and (cid:0)the cost of the product, the reimbursement policies of government and third-party payors and our ability to obtain sufficient third-party coverage orreimbursement.27Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexEven if we are successful in achieving unit sales of AMR-001 consistent with our expectations, it is not clear to what extent, if any, the product willbe profitable. The costs of goods associated with production of AMR-001 may be significant. While we are working to improve the speed and efficiency andlower the cost of our manufacturing processes, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. In addition, some changes inmanufacturing processes or procedures generally require FDA or foreign regulatory authority review and approval prior to implementation. We may need toconduct additional preclinical studies and clinical trials to support approval of any such changes for AMR-001. Furthermore, this review process could becostly and time-consuming and could delay or prevent the commercialization of product candidates.We have limited experience in the development and marketing of cell therapies and may be unsuccessful in our efforts to establish a profitablebusiness.Over the past two years, we shifted our business plan to focus on capturing a piece of the burgeoning field of cell therapy. Despite being in businessfor over ten years, we have limited experience in the areas of cell therapy product development and marketing, and in the related regulatory issues andprocesses. While the founders of PCT currently provide services in connection with our development activities, we cannot assure you that our managementwill successfully oversee our clinical development efforts and our plans to capture a piece of the cell therapy market.Our cell therapy business is based on novel technologies that are inherently expensive, risky and may not be understood by or accepted in themarketplace, which could adversely affect our future value.The clinical development, commercialization and marketing of cell and tissue-based therapies is at an early-stage, substantially research-oriented,and financially speculative. To date, very few companies have been successful in their efforts to develop and commercialize a stem cell product. In general,stem cell products may be susceptible to various risks, including undesirable and unintended side effects, unintended immune system responses, inadequatetherapeutic efficacy, or other characteristics that may prevent or limit their approval or commercial use. Furthermore, the number of people who may use cell ortissue-based therapies is difficult to forecast with accuracy. Our future success is dependent on the establishment of a large global market for cell- and tissue-based therapies and our ability to capture a share of this market with our product candidates.Our development efforts with AMR-001, our Treg therapies and VSELTM technology are susceptible to the same risks of failure inherent in thedevelopment and commercialization of therapeutic products based on new technologies. The novel nature of cellular therapeutics creates significant challengesin the areas of product development and optimization, manufacturing, government regulation, third-party reimbursement and market acceptance. For example,the United States FDA has relatively limited experience regulating therapies based on cells, and there are few approved treatments utilizing cell therapy.If we are unable or unsuccessful in our efforts to discover or license, develop, receive regulatory approval for and commercialize our productcandidates, our long-term prospects will be negatively impacted.Our product candidates require governmental approvals prior to commercialization. We face the substantial risks of failure inherent in developingcell-based therapies. Our product candidates must satisfy rigorous standards of safety and efficacy before the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities willapprove them for commercial use. There can be no assurance that these standards will remain consistent over time, further complicating our ability to obtainmarketing approvals for our product candidates. To satisfy these standards, we will need to conduct significant additional research, preclinical testing andclinical trials.Preclinical testing and clinical development are long, expensive and highly uncertain processes; most product candidates are never approved forcommercial use. Failure can occur at any stage of testing. Success in preclinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will besuccessful or sufficient for regulatory approval. Based on results at any stage of clinical trials, we may decide to discontinue development of our productcandidates. Even if we obtain approval and begin marketing a product, ongoing clinical trials, including for other indications, may result in additionalinformation that could affect our ability or decision to continue marketing the product. Even if we receive regulatory approval for our product candidates, wemust comply with applicable FDA post-marketing regulations governing manufacturing, promotion, labeling, risk management and reporting of adverseevents and other information, as well as other regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could subject us to criminalprosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, withdrawal of marketing approval, total or partial suspension of production or injunction, as well asother regulatory actions against our product or us.We have limited resources with which to conduct pre-clinical and clinical studies, which may limit or delay our ability to discover new products ordevelop our product candidates and increase the risk that our long-term business objectives will not be met. While we also seek to obtain government grantsand other funding to further our research and development activities,28Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Indexthere is no assurance that such monies will be available to us in the future. Without sufficient funding, we may have to significantly reduce the levels of suchexpenditures.Despite our limited resources, we intend to explore opportunities to expand our product portfolio by acquiring or in-licensing product candidates.Although we conduct extensive evaluations of product candidate opportunities as part of our due diligence efforts, there can be no assurance that ourdevelopment efforts for such products will be successful or that we will not become aware of issues or complications that will cause us to alter, delay orterminate these efforts.We may rely on third parties to help us develop or commercialize our product candidates, and our ability to commercialize such candidates may beimpaired or delayed if our collaborations are unsuccessful.We may in the future selectively pursue strategic collaborations for the development and commercialization of our product candidates in the UnitedStates or abroad, which may require us to share any future profits or revenues, issue our equity securities or transfer certain other material rights. With respectto AMR-001, we anticipate that we may need to enter into a collaboration agreement with one or more third parties to conduct and fund Phase 3 clinical trialsand to commercialize the product.Despite our efforts, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable collaborators or negotiate collaboration agreements on terms thatare acceptable to us, if at all. In any future third-party collaboration, we would be dependent upon the success of the collaborators in performing theirresponsibilities and their continued cooperation. Such collaborators may not cooperate or perform their obligations under their agreements with us. We may beunable to control the amount and timing of our collaborators' resources that will be devoted to performing their responsibilities under their agreements with us.Collaborators may choose to pursue alternative technologies in preference to those being developed in collaboration with us. The development andcommercialization of our product candidates will be delayed if collaborators fail to conduct their responsibilities in a timely manner or in accordance withapplicable regulatory requirements or if they breach or terminate their collaboration agreements. Disputes with collaborators also could result in productdevelopment delays, decreased revenues and litigation expenses.Contractual arrangements with licensors or collaborators may require us to pay royalties or make other payments related to the development of aproduct candidate, which would adversely affect the level of our future revenues and profits.Even if we obtain all applicable regulatory approvals and successfully commercialize one or more of our cell therapy candidates, contractualarrangements between us and a licensor, collaborator or other third party in connection with the respective product may require that we make royalty or otherpayments to the respective third party, and as a result we would not receive all of the revenue derived from commercial sales of such product.Under the agreement pursuant to which we acquired Amorcyte, we are required to pay to the former Amorcyte shareholders certain earn-out paymentsfollowing the first commercial sale of AMR-001, generally equal to 10% of net sales (or 30% of any sublicensing fees, royalties and milestone fees or profitsharing payments), less our out-of-pocket clinical development costs not previously paid or reimbursed and other expenses. Also, our license agreementsrelating to our Treg therapeutic product candidates include obligations to pay royalties on net sales of licensed products, maintenance fees and milestone feesupon events such as initiation of clinical trial stages, license application filings and regulatory approvals.Even if we are successful in developing a therapeutic application using our cell technologies, it is unclear whether cell therapy can serve as thefoundation for a commercially viable and profitable business.Stem cell collection techniques are rapidly developing and could undergo significant change in the future. Such rapid technological developmentcould result in our technologies becoming obsolete. While our AMR-001 product candidate, our Treg therapies and VSELTM technology appear promising,such technologies may fail to be successfully commercialized for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, competing technologies for the sameindication. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop a commercially successful therapeutic application for this technology or other potentialstem cell technologies.Moreover, advances in other treatment methods or in disease prevention techniques could significantly reduce or entirely eliminate the need for ourcell therapy services, planned products and therapeutic efforts. There is no assurance that cell therapies will achieve the degree of success envisioned by us inthe treatment of disease. Additionally, technological or medical developments may materially alter the commercial viability of our technology or services, andrequire us to incur significant costs to replace or modify equipment in which we have a substantial investment. We are focused on cell therapy, and if this fieldis substantially unsuccessful, this could jeopardize our success or future results. The occurrence of any of these factors may have a material adverse effect onour business, operating results and financial condition.29Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexIf we are unsuccessful in building or contracting for commercial sales and marketing capabilities in the United States and abroad, our revenuesfrom any future products will be adversely affected.We currently have no capabilities or experience in the selling, marketing or commercial distribution of biologic products. If any of our productcandidates are ultimately approved for marketing, we would need to hire and develop an internal sales and marketing organization and/or outsource thesefunctions to one or more third parties.We may be unable to establish sufficient marketing, sales and distribution capabilities necessary to successfully commercialize and gain marketacceptance for any of our product candidates. In addition, co-promotion or other marketing arrangements with third parties to commercialize productcandidates could significantly limit the revenues we recognize from such product candidates, and these third parties may fail to commercialize the productcandidates successfully.If competitors develop and market products that are more effective, safer, or less expensive than our product candidates or offer other advantages,our commercial prospects will be limited.Our cell therapy development programs face, and will continue to face, intense competition from pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, as well as numerous academic and research institutions and governmental agencies engaged in drug discovery activities or funding,both in the United States and abroad. Some of these competitors are pursuing the development of drugs and other therapies that target the same diseases andconditions that we are targeting with our product candidates.Because AMR-001 generally targets patients without other revascularization options, we do not believe it will compete directly with pharmaceuticaltherapies being developed to treat less severe stages of our target indications. However, to the extent that therapies are developed that reverse the progression ofthe ischemic damage or improve blood flow to damaged tissue, they could have the effect of reducing demand for our product. In addition, because AMR-001requires the removal of bone marrow from the patient, potential competing products that do not require this invasive procedure may have a competitiveadvantage in terms of patient appeal. New pharmaceutical agents or devices that improve the repair of cardiac injury after a heart attack, with the result thatfewer patients develop ischemic heart failure, would also represent a competitive threat for AMR-001.Furthermore, cell-based therapies, such as skeletal myoblasts, bone marrow-derived stem cells and adipose cells are being pursued by companiessuch as Aastrom Biosciences, Inc., Angioblast Systems, Inc., Athersys, Inc., Pluristem Therapeutics, Inc., ReNeuron Group, Stemedica Cell TechnologiesInc. and Bioheart, Inc. Some other companies, such as Cytori and Miltenyi, are developing medical devices to facilitate the production of therapeutic cellpopulations by clinicians for the treatment of AMR-001's target indications. Such devices may be approved by the FDA under a less rigorous regulatoryprocess, and less extensive clinical testing and manufacturing controls than we are required to pursue for AMR-001 and thus could reach the market wellbefore AMR-001.As a general matter, we also face competition from many other companies that are researching and developing cell therapies. Many of thesecompanies have financial and other resources substantially greater than ours. In addition, many of these competitors have significantly greater experience intesting pharmaceutical and other therapeutic products, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals, and marketing and selling. If we ultimately obtainregulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we also will be competing with respect to manufacturing efficiency and marketing capabilities, areas inwhich we have limited or no commercial-scale experience. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may result in evenmore resources being concentrated by our competitors. Competition may increase further as a result of advances made in the commercial applicability of ourtechnologies and greater availability of capital for investment in these fields.We may be subject to significant product liability claims and litigation, including potential exposure from the use of our product candidates inhuman subjects, and our insurance may be inadequate to cover claims that may arise.Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks inherent in the testing, processing and marketing of cell therapy products. Such liabilityclaims may be expensive to defend and result in large judgments against us. We face an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing ofAMR-001 and any future product candidates in human clinical trials and will face an even greater risk with respect to any commercial sales of our productsonce approved. No product candidate has been widely used over an extended period of time, and therefore safety data is limited. Cell therapy companies derivethe raw materials for manufacturing of product candidates from human cell sources, and therefore the manufacturing process and handling requirements areextensive, which increases the risk of quality failures and subsequent product liability claims. We presently have product liability insurance limited to $5million per incident and $5 million in annual aggregate.30Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexWe will need to increase our insurance coverage when we begin commercializing product candidates, if ever. At that time, we may not be able toobtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or at all, or if claims against us substantially exceed our coverage,then our financial position could be significantly impaired.Whether or not we are ultimately successful in any product liability litigation that may arise, such litigation could consume substantial amounts ofour financial and managerial resources, decreased demand for our products and injure our reputation.We seek to maintain errors and omissions, directors and officers, workers' compensation and other insurance at levels we believe to be appropriate toour business activities. If, however, we were subject to a claim in excess of this coverage or to a claim not covered by our insurance and the claim succeeded,we would be required to pay the claim from our own limited resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results ofoperations and business. Additionally, liability or alleged liability could harm our business by diverting the attention and resources of our management anddamaging our reputation.We may be unable to retain key officers or employees or hire new key officers or employees needed to implement our business strategy and developour products and businesses.Given the specialized nature of cell therapy and that it is a relatively new field, there is an inherent scarcity of experienced personnel in the field. Weare substantially dependent on the skills and efforts of current senior management for their management and operations, as well as for the implementation oftheir business strategy. In addition, our future success depends upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel (including medical,scientific, technical, commercial, business and administrative personnel) necessary to support our anticipated growth, develop our business, perform ourcontractual obligations to third parties and maintain appropriate licensure. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting or retainingpersonnel required by us to continue to grow our operations. The loss of a key employee, the failure of a key employee to perform in his or her current positionor our inability to attract and/or retain skilled employees, as needed, could result in our inability to continue to grow our business or to implement our businessstrategy, or may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.RISKS RELATED TO OUR CONTRACT DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING BUSINESSCell therapy is in its early stages, it is still a developing field and a significant global market for our third party manufacturing services at PCT maynever emerge.Cell therapy is in its early stages and is still a developing area of research, with few cell therapy products approved for clinical use. Many of theexisting cellular therapy candidates are based on novel cell technologies that are inherently risky and may not be understood or accepted by the marketplace,making difficult their own funding to enable them to continue their business. At PCT, the current market and our existing contracts principally consist ofproviding manufacturing of cell and tissue-based therapeutic products in clinical trials and processing of stem cell products for transplantation programs. Thenumber of people who may use cell or tissue-based therapies and thus the demand for stem cell processing services is difficult to forecast. If cell therapiesunder development by us or by others to treat disease are not proven effective, demonstrate unacceptable risks or side effects or, where required, fail to receiveregulatory approval, our PCT business will be significantly impaired. While the therapeutic application of cells to treat serious diseases is currently beingexplored by a number of companies, to date there are only a handful of approved products in the United States. Ultimately, our success in developing ourcontract development and manufacturing business depends on the development and growth of a broad and profitable global market for cell- and tissue-basedtherapies and services and our ability to capture a share of this market through PCT. PCT's revenues may vary dramatically from period to period making it difficult to forecast future results. The nature and duration of PCT's contracts with customers often involve regular renegotiation of the scope, level and price of the services we areproviding. If our customers reduce the level of their spending on research and development or marketing or are unsuccessful in attaining or retaining productsales due to market conditions, reimbursement issues or other factors, our results of operations may be materially impacted. In addition, other factors,including the rate of enrollment for clinical studies, will directly impact the level and timing of the products and services we deliver. As such, the levels of ourrevenues and profitability can fluctuate significantly from one period to another and it can be difficult to forecast the level of future revenues with anycertainty.We have a finite manufacturing capacity at PCT, which could inhibit the long-term growth prospects of this business.31Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexWe currently provide services and produce materials for clinical trials at our existing manufacturing facilities in Allendale, New Jersey and MountainView, California, which we have designed and operated to be compliant with FDA cGMP, and cGTP requirements. While we believe these facilities provide uswith sufficient capacity to meet our expected near term demand, it is possible that the demand for our services and products could exceed our existingmanufacturing capacity. It may become necessary or desirable for us to expand our manufacturing capabilities for cell therapy services and products in thefuture, which may require us to invest significant amounts of capital and to obtain regulatory approvals. In this regard, we are reviewing opportunities forcommercial and Eurpoean manufacturing capabilities which we expect to have in place in 2013. If we are unable to meet rising demand for products andservices on a timely basis or unable to maintain cGMP compliance standards, then it is likely that our clients and potential clients will elect to obtain theproducts and services from competitors, which could materially and adversely affect the level of our revenues and our prospects for growth.Components of therapeutic products approved for commercial sale or used in late-stage clinical trials must be manufactured in accordance withcGMP. Manufacturers of cell-based product candidates such as AMR-001 also must comply with the cGTP. In addition, therapeutic products may be requiredto modify their manufacturing process from time to time in response to FDA requests. Manufacture of live cellular-based products is complex and subjectscompanies to significant regulatory burdens that may change over time. We may encounter difficulties in the production of our product candidates due to ourlimited manufacturing experience.We will need to improve manufacturing efficiency at PCT if we are to realize meaningful gains in PCT's profitability.Together with our customers, PCT is working to develop new processes and instruments to improve manufacturing efficiency and the profitability ofthe business. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to develop process enhancements that are acceptable to the FDA, on a timely basis, oncommercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that any expected improvement in profitability will be realized. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to developthese improvements, we may be unable to profitably operate the PCT business and could face significantly higher capital expenditures, increased facility andpersonnel costs and other increased operating expenses.We have a limited marketing staff and budget for our PCT operations, which could limit our ability to grow this business.The degree of market acceptance of our products and services depends upon a number of factors, including the strength of our sales and marketingsupport. If our marketing is not effective, our ability to generate revenues could be significantly impaired. Due to capital constraints, our marketing and salesactivities at PCT are limited, and the failure to attract a sufficient base of customers will affect our ability to increase our revenues and operate profitably.The logistics associated with the distribution of materials produced by PCT for third parties and us, including AMR-001, are significant, complexand expensive and may negatively impact our ability to generate and meet future demand for our products and improve profitability.Current cell therapy products and product candidates, including AMR-001, have a limited shelf life, in certain instances limited to less than 12hours. Thus, it is necessary to minimize the amount of time between when the cell product is extracted from a patient, arrives at one of our facilities forprocessing, and is delivered for re-infusion in the patient.To do so, we need our cell therapy facilities to be located in major population centers in which patients are likely to be located and within closeproximity of major airports. In the future, it may be necessary to build new facilities, which would require a significant commitment of capital and may notthen be available to us. Even if we are able to establish such new facilities, we may experience challenges in ensuring that they are compliant with cGMP, otherFDA requirements, and/or applicable state or local regulatory requirements. We cannot be certain that we would be able to recoup the costs of establishing afacility in a given market. Given these risks, we may choose not to expand our cell processing and manufacturing services into new geographic markets whichwill limit our future growth prospects.To effectively and efficiently deliver cell therapy product, we also need to establish and maintain cost-effective relationships with reliable andexperienced transportation carriers. Existing transportation carriers are not optimally designed for the transportation of cell therapy products. For example,these carriers generally lack a true point-to-point chain of control, have non-controlled X-ray and inspection, do not guarantee package orientation, handling orstorage conditions and, in many cases, lack a standard, documented and tracked operating procedures. While reliable ground carriers with experience in thetransport of blood products exist in major U.S. metropolitan areas, air carriers meeting such needs are limited. If our current carrier should cease its medicalshipping operations or otherwise be unable to properly meet our transportation needs, the lack of access to safe, reliable and effective transportation optionscould adversely affect our ability to meet our customers' needs.32Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

IndexRISK RELATED TO OUR CORD BLOOD AND STEM CELL STORAGE BUSINESSThere is no guarantee that the market for our cord blood and adult stem cell collection and storage business will develop, and it exposes us torisks inherent in the long-term storage of these products.Through NeoStem Family Storage, we provide services related to the collection and storage of umbilical cord blood units and adult stem cells, whichwe store at our Allendale, New Jersey facility. There currently is no significant global market for stem cell processing or collection and storage, nor is there anyguarantee that such markets will develop in the near future, or at all. Major medical institutions currently do not generally recommend private storage, and webelieve that the medical community is supportive of the public cord blood collection system. Patients can donate their cord blood to the public cord bloodcollection system without charge. In addition, the value of our cord blood storage services is related to the higher success rate of autologous cord bloodtransplants over unrelated ones. If medical research discovers new and more effective medical procedures that make allogeneic cord blood transplants safer andmore effective, the clinical advantage of storing a child's umbilical cord blood for his or her own future therapeutic use may significantly decline.The operation of a cord blood and adult stem cell storage system also exposes us to a number of risks. For example, adverse outcomes or limitationsof our stem cell or cord blood collection and storage services, the damage, destruction or a failure in the performance of the cryopreservation storage facility orsystems of our service providers, could harm our reputation and business and expose us to significant liability from customers. While we believe that we haveprocured insurance to cover certain of these risks, we may in fact have insufficient insurance to cover losses beyond the limits on its policies, which couldhave a material adverse effect on our financial condition.RISKS RELATED TO GOVERNMENT REGULATIONThe development and commercialization of our product candidates is subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory agencies inthe United States and abroad, and the failure to receive regulatory approvals for AMR-001 or our other product candidates would likely have amaterial and adverse effect on our business and prospects.To date, we have not received regulatory approval to market any of our product candidates in any jurisdiction. If we seek approval of AMR-001, wewill be required to submit to FDA and European regulatory authorities extensive preclinical and clinical data supporting its safety and efficacy, as well asinformation about the AMR-001 manufacturing process and to undergo inspection of our PCT manufacturing facilities, among other things. The process ofobtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals is expensive, generally takes many years and is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, particularly withcomplex and/or novel product candidates such as AMR-001. Changes in regulatory approval policies during the development period, changes in or theenactment of additional statutes or regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted product application, may cause delays in the approval orrejection of an application or may make it easier for our competitors to gain regulatory approval to enter the marketplace. Ultimately, the FDA and otherregulatory agencies have substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any application or may decide that our product candidate dataare insufficient for approval without the submission of additional preclinical, clinical or other studies. In addition, varying agency interpretations of the dataobtained from preclinical and clinical testing could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval of a product candidate. Any regulatory approval we ultimatelyobtain may be limited or subject to restrictions or post-approval commitments that render the approved product not commercially viable.Any of the following factors, among others, could cause regulatory approval for our product candidates to be delayed, limited or denied: (cid:0)the product candidates require significant clinical testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness before applications for marketing approval can befiled with the FDA and other regulatory authorities; (cid:0)data obtained from preclinical and nonclinical animal testing and clinical trials can be interpreted in different ways, and regulatory authorities maynot agree with our respective interpretations or may require us to conduct additional testing; (cid:0)negative or inconclusive results or the occurrence of serious or unexpected adverse events during a clinical trial could cause us to delay or terminatedevelopment efforts for a product candidate; and/or (cid:0)FDA and other regulatory authorities may require expansion of the size and scope of the clinical trials.33Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexAny difficulties or failures that we encounter in securing regulatory approval for our product candidates would likely have a substantial adverse impact on ourability to generate product sales, and could make any search for a collaborative partner more difficult.We may be unsuccessful in our efforts to comply with applicable federal, state and international laws and regulations, which could result in lossof licensure, certification or accreditation or other government enforcement actions or impact our ability to secure regulatory approval of ourproduct candidates.Although we seek to conduct our business in compliance with applicable governmental healthcare laws and regulations, these laws and regulationsare exceedingly complex and often subject to varying interpretations. The cell therapy industry is the topic of significant government interest, and thus the lawsand regulations applicable to our business are subject to frequent change and/or reinterpretation. As such, there can be no assurance that we will be able, orwill have the resources, to maintain compliance with all such healthcare laws and regulations. Failure to comply with such healthcare laws and regulations, aswell as the costs associated with such compliance or with enforcement of such healthcare laws and regulations, may have a material adverse effect on ouroperations or may require restructuring of our operations or impair our ability to operate profitably.Facilities engaged in the recovery, processing, storage, labeling, packaging or distribution of any HCT/Ps, or the screening or testing of a donor, arerequired to register with the FDA. Any third party retained by us to process our samples must be similarly registered with the FDA and comply with HCT/Pregulations. We also are required to comply with FDA's cGTP regulations. If we fail to register or update registration information in a timely way, or fail tocomply with cGTP regulations, we will be out of compliance with FDA regulations which could adversely affect our business.Our manufacture of certain cellular therapy products for ourselves or at PCT on behalf of our customers triggers additional FDA requirementsapplicable to HCT/Ps, or products comprised of HCT/Ps, which are regulated as a drug, biological product, or medical device. FDA's cGMP regulationsgovern the manufacture, processing, packaging and holding of cell therapy products regulated as drugs. FDA's Quality System Regulation, or QSR, similarlygoverns the manufacture, processing, packaging and holding of cell therapy products regulated as medical devices. We must comply with cGMP or QSRrequirements including quality control, quality assurance and the maintenance of records and documentation for certain products. We may be unable tocomply with these cGMP or QSR requirements and with other FDA, state and foreign regulatory requirements. These requirements may change over time andwe or third-party manufacturers may be unable to comply with the revised requirements.If we are unable to conduct clinical studies in accordance with regulations and accepted standards, we may be delayed in receiving, or may neverreceive, regulatory approvals of our product candidates from the FDA and other regulatory authorities.To obtain marketing approvals for our product candidates in the United States and abroad, we must, among other requirements, complete adequateand well-controlled clinical trials sufficient to demonstrate to the FDA and other regulatory bodies that the product candidate is safe and effective for eachindication for which approval is sought. If a serious adverse event occurs during one of our clinical studies, the FDA can place one or more of our clinicaltrials on hold if, among other reasons, it finds that patients enrolled in the trial are or would be exposed to an unreasonable and significant risk of illness orinjury. If safety concerns develop, we may, or the FDA or an institutional review board may require us to, stop the affected trials before completion. Our Phase1 trial of AMR-001 was subject to a clinical hold following the death of a subject in the study. We presented evidence that the death was the result of ventricularfibrillation attributed to recurrent myocardial infarction from stent thrombosis preceding infusion of AMR-001 and the FDA lifted the clinical hold.The completion of our clinical trials also may be delayed or terminated for a number of other reasons, including if: (cid:0)third-party clinical investigators do not perform the clinical trials on the anticipated schedule or consistent with the clinical trial protocol, goodclinical practices required by the FDA and other regulatory requirements, or other third parties do not perform data collection and analysis in atimely or accurate manner; (cid:0)inspections of clinical trial sites by the FDA or by institutional review boards of research institutions participating in the clinical trials, revealregulatory violations that require the sponsor of the trial to undertake corrective action, suspend or terminate one or more sites, or prohibit use ofsome or all of the data in support of marketing applications; or (cid:0)the FDA or one or more institutional review boards suspends or terminates the trial at an investigational site, or precludes enrollment of additionalsubjects.Our development costs will increase if there are material delays in our clinical trials, or if we are required to modify, suspend, terminate or repeat aclinical trial. If we are unable to conduct our clinical trials properly, we may never receive regulatory approval to market our product candidates.34Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexWe will continue to be subject to extensive FDA regulation following any product approvals, and if we fail to comply with these regulations, wemay suffer a significant setback in our business.Even if we are successful in obtaining regulatory approval of our product candidates, we will continue to be subject to the requirements of and reviewby, the FDA and comparable regulatory authorities in the areas of manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data, adverse event reporting, labeling,advertising and promotional activities, among other things. In addition, any marketing approval we receive may be limited in terms of the approved productindication or require costly post-marketing testing and surveillance. Discovery after approval of previously unknown problems with a product, manufactureror manufacturing process, or a failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in actions such as: (cid:0)warning letters or other actions requiring changes in product manufacturing processes or restrictions on product marketing or distribution; (cid:0)product recalls or seizures or the temporary or permanent withdrawal of a product from the market; and (cid:0)fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue, the imposition of civil penalties or criminal prosecution.The occurrence of any of these actions would likely cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.Health care companies have been the subjects of federal and state investigations, and we could become subject to investigations in the future.Both federal and state government agencies have heightened civil and criminal enforcement efforts. There are numerous ongoing investigations ofhealth care companies, as well as their executives and managers. In addition, amendments to the Federal False Claims Act, including under Healthcare Reform,have made it easier for private parties to bring “qui tam” (whistleblower) lawsuits against companies under which the whistleblower may be entitled to receivea percentage of any money paid to the government. The Federal False Claims Act provides, in part, that an action can be brought against any person or entitythat has knowingly presented, or caused to be presented, a false or fraudulent request for payment from the federal government, or who has made a falsestatement or used a false record to get a claim approved. The government has taken the position that claims presented in violation of the federal anti-kickbacklaw, Stark Law or other healthcare-related laws, including laws enforced by the FDA, may be considered a violation of the Federal False Claims Act. Penaltiesinclude substantial fines for each false claim, plus three times the amount of damages that the federal government sustained because of the act of that person orentity and/or exclusion from the Medicare program. In addition, a majority of states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions.We are not aware of any government investigations involving any of our facilities or management. While we believe that we are in material compliancewith applicable governmental healthcare laws and regulations, any future investigations of our business or executives could cause us to incur substantialcosts, and result in significant liabilities or penalties, as well as damage to our reputation.It is uncertain to what extent the government, private health insurers and third-party payors will approve coverage or provide reimbursement forthe therapies and products to which our services relate. Availability for such reimbursement may be further limited by an increasing uninsuredpopulation and reductions in Medicare and Medicaid funding in the United States.To the extent that health care providers cannot obtain coverage or reimbursement for our therapies and products, they may elect not to provide suchtherapies and products to their patients and, thus, may not need our services. Further, as cost containment pressures are increasing in the health care industry,government and private payors may adopt strategies designed to limit the amount of reimbursement paid to health care providers.Similarly, the trend toward managed health care and bundled pricing for health care services in the United States, which may accelerate under thehealthcare reform legislation approved by Congress on March 23, 2010 and thereafter signed into law (“Healthcare Reform”), could significantly influence thepurchase of healthcare services and products, resulting in lower prices and reduced demand for our therapeutic products under development.We may receive a portion of our revenues from services rendered to patients enrolled in federal health care programs, such as Medicare, and we mayalso directly or indirectly receive revenues from federal health care programs. Federal health care programs are subject to changes in coverage andreimbursement rules and procedures, including retroactive rate adjustments. These contingencies could materially decrease the range of services covered bysuch programs or the reimbursement rates paid directly or indirectly for our products and services. To the extent that any health care reform favors thereimbursement of other35Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Indextherapies over our therapeutic products under development, such reform could affect our ability to sell our services, which may have a material adverse effecton our revenues.The limitation on reimbursement available from private and government payors may reduce the demand for, or the price of, our services, whichcould have a material adverse effect on our revenues. Additional legislation or regulation relating to the health care industry or third-party coverage andreimbursement may be enacted in the future which could adversely affect the revenues generated from the sale of our products and services.Furthermore, there has been a trend in recent years towards reductions in overall funding for Medicare and Medicaid. There has also been an increasein the number of people who do not have any form of health care coverage in recent years and who are not eligible for or enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid or othergovernmental programs. The extent to which the reforms brought about under Healthcare Reform may be successful in reducing the number of such uninsuredis unclear, and the reduced funding of governmental programs and increase in uninsured populations could have a negative impact on the demand for ourservices to the extent they relate to products and services which are reimbursed by government and private payors.Unintended consequences of recently adopted healthcare reform legislation in the U.S. may adversely affect our business.The healthcare industry is undergoing fundamental changes resulting from political, economic and regulatory influences. In the U.S., comprehensiveprograms are under consideration that seek to, among other things, increase access to healthcare for the uninsured and control the escalation of healthcareexpenditures within the economy. On March 23, 2010, healthcare reform legislation was approved by Congress and has been signed into law. While we do notbelieve this legislation will have a direct impact on our business, the legislation has only recently been enacted and requires the adoption of implementingregulations, which may have unintended consequences or indirectly impact our business. For instance, the scope and implications of the recent amendmentspursuant to the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 (“FERA”), have yet to be fully determined or adjudicated and as a result it is difficult to predicthow future enforcement initiatives may impact our business. Also, in some instances our clients may be health insurers that will be subject to limitations ontheir administrative expenses and new federal review of “unreasonable” rate increases that could impact the prices they pay for our services. If the legislationcauses such unintended consequences or indirect impact, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYWe may be unable able to obtain or maintain patent protection for our products and product candidates, which could have a material adverseeffect on our business.Our commercial success will depend, in part, on obtaining and maintaining patent protection for new technologies, product candidates, products andprocesses and successfully defending such patents against third party challenges. To that end, we file patent applications, and have been issued patents, thatare intended to cover certain methods and uses of stem cells, including very small embryonic-like stem cells, as well as compositions and methods relating toT regulatory cells and hematopoietic stem cells. These patent applications may never result in the issuance of patents.The patent positions of biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions and recent courtdecisions have introduced significant uncertainty regarding the strength of patents in the industry. Moreover, the legal systems of some foreign countries do notfavor the aggressive enforcement of patents and may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Any of theissued patents we own or license may be challenged by third parties and held to be invalid, unenforceable or with a narrower or different scope of coverage thatwhat we currently believe, effectively reducing or eliminating protection we believed we had against competitors with similar products or technologies. If weultimately engage in and lose any such patent disputes, we could be subject to competition and/or significant liabilities, we could be required to enter into third-party licenses or we could be required to cease using the disputed technology or product. In addition, even if such licenses are available, the terms of anylicense requested by a third party could be unacceptable to us.The claims of any current or future patents that may issue or be licensed to us may not contain claims that are sufficiently broad to prevent othersfrom utilizing the covered technologies and thus may provide us with little commercial protection against competing products. For instance, patents relating toour AMR-001 product candidate are limited to an isolated and non-expanded population of autologous mononuclear cells enriched for CD34+ cells, whichfurther contains a subpopulation of potent CD34+/CXCR4+ cells that have CXCR4-mediated chemotactic activity. Products that do not contain enrichedCD34+/CXCR4+ cells, or which contain populations of cells that derive efficacy from a different mechanism of action, may not infringe the existing AMR-001patents. Consequently, our competitors may independently develop competing products that do not infringe our patents or other36Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Indexintellectual property. To the extent a competitor can develop similar products using a different chemistry, our patents and patent applications may not preventothers from directly competing with us.Product development and approval timelines in our biotechnology industry are very lengthy. As such, it is possible that any patents that may coveran approved product may have expired at the time of commercialization or only have a short remaining period of exclusivity, thereby reducing the commercialadvantages of the patent. In such case, we would then rely solely on other forms of exclusivity, such as regulatory exclusivity provided by the Federal Food,Drug and Cosmetic Act, which may provide less protection to our competitive position.Litigation relating to intellectual property is expensive, time consuming and uncertain, and we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to protectagainst infringement by third parties or defend ourselves against claims of infringement.To protect our intellectual property, we may initiate litigation or other proceedings. In general, intellectual property litigation is costly, time-consuming,diverts the attention of management and technical personnel and could result in substantial uncertainty regarding our future viability, even if we ultimatelyprevail. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or other proceedings more effectively than can we because of theirsubstantially greater financial resources. The loss or narrowing of our intellectual property protection, the inability to secure or enforce our intellectual propertyrights or a finding that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of a third party could limit our ability to develop or market our products and servicesin the future or adversely affect our revenues. Furthermore, any public announcements related to such litigation or regulatory proceedings could adverselyaffect the price of our Common Stock.Third parties may allege that the research, development and commercialization activities we conduct infringe patents or other proprietary rightsowned by such parties. While we do not believe any of our current activities infringe the rights of others, we have not conducted an exhaustive search oranalysis of third-party patent rights to determine whether our pre-clinical or clinical research and development or activities may infringe or be alleged to infringeany third-party patent rights. If we are found to have infringed the patents of a third party, we may be required to pay substantial damages; we also may berequired to seek from such party a license, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, to continue our activities. A judicial finding orinfringement or the failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from commercializing our products, which would have a material adverse effect onour business, operating results and financial condition.If we are unable to maintain our licenses, patents or other intellectual property we could lose important protections that are material to continuingour operations and our future prospects.To obtain and maintain patent protection and licensing rights under certain of our license agreement, we must, among other things, ensure the timelypayment of all applicable filing and maintenance fees. Any failure to do so could result in the loss of some or all of our rights to proprietary technology or theinability to secure or enforce intellectual property protection.Additionally, our license agreements require us to meet certain diligence obligations in the development of the licensed products. Our failure to meetthese diligence obligations could result in the loss of some or all of our rights, which could materially and adversely affect our business and future prospects.If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of trade secrets, our competitive position could be impaired.A significant amount of our technology, especially regarding manufacturing processes, is unpatented and is maintained as trade secrets. We expendsignificant efforts in an effort to protect these trade secrets, including through the use of confidentiality agreement. Even so, improper use or disclosure of ourconfidential information could occur and in such case adequate remedies may not exist. The disclosure of our trade secrets could impair our Company'scompetitive position.In certain countries, patent holders may be required to grant compulsory licenses, which would likely have a significant and detrimental effect onany future revenues in such country.Many countries, including some countries in Europe, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grantlicenses to third parties. In addition, most countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In thesecountries, the patent owner may be limited to monetary relief and may be unable to enjoin infringement, which could materially diminish the value of thepatent. Compulsory licensing of life-saving products is also becoming increasingly popular in developing countries, either through direct legislation orinternational initiatives. Such compulsory licenses could be extended to our product candidates, which may limit our potential revenue opportunities,including with respect to any future revenues that may result from AMR-001.37Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

IndexChanges to U.S. Patent Law may have a material adverse effect on our intellectual property rights.The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), which was signed into law on September 16, 2011, significantly changes United States patent law. Itmay take some time to establish what the law means, since regulations that will govern how the new law is implemented have not yet been established, andsince the law has not yet been implemented, it has not yet been interpreted by the lower courts, and reviewed by either the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals orthe Supreme Court, a process that will take years. The first major change is that AIA switches the U.S. patent system from a “first to invent” system to a“first to file” system. Once the first to file system is in effect, there is a risk that another company may independently develop identical or similar patents atapproximately the same time, and be awarded the patents instead of us. Once “first to file” is implemented, there will no longer be a need to determine who isthe inventor of an invention. As a result, for the second major change, AIA abolishes interference proceedings, and establishes derivation proceedings to replaceinterference proceedings in all cases in which the time period for instituting an interference proceeding has not lapsed where an inventor named in an earlierapplication derived the claimed invention from a named inventor. Once derivation proceedings are in effect, there is a risk that the inventorship of any pendingpatent application can be challenged for reasons of derivation. The third major change is that AIA establishes post-grant opposition proceedings that will applyto patent applications filed after “first to file” becomes effective. Post-grant opposition will enable a person who is not the patent owner to initiate proceedings inthe Patent office within 9 months after the grant of a patent that can result in cancellation of a patent as invalid. Therefore there is a risk that any of our patentsonce granted after the effective date of these provisions of the new law (March 16, 2013) may be subject to post-grant opposition, which will increaseuncertainty on the validity of any newly granted patent or may ultimately result in cancellation of the patent.38Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

PROPERTIES.PCTWe presently operate two cell therapy manufacturing facilities, in Allendale, New Jersey and in Mountain View, California. Longer-term plans include theacquisition and development of other such buildings within and outside of the United States, to be developed into replicable and scalable manufacturingfacilities, strategically located to best serve clients’ needs. Inherent in the nature of cell therapy today is the biologic shelf life of the cell therapy product itself.This limits the transit times between the time the cell product is extracted from a patient until it arrives at a manufacturing facility and the time that a processedproduct leaves the manufacturing facility and arrives for re-infusion in the patient. Therefore, it is preferable for cell therapy manufacturing facilities to belocated in major population centers and within close proximity of major airport hubs.In 2007, PCT acquired the facility in Allendale, New Jersey which has been developed into a cell manufacturing facility. 22,000 square feet of theAllendale facility’s approximate 30,000 square feet have been developed. The Allendale facility is comprised of ISO Class 7, Class 10,000 manufacturingsuites, in addition to quality control, research and development laboratories and support facilities. It has been designed to meet the accreditation requirementsof the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) and to comply with the FDA’s requirements, including applicable cGMP regulations, andto meet the standards of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). The facility is also in compliance with a range of state and federal regulatory andlicensing requirements. The Allendale facility is subject to two mortgages in favor of T.D. Bank, N.A. having an aggregate principal amount of approximately$3.4 million as of December 31, 2012.The Mountain View facility is also a licensed cell therapy manufacturing facility, encompassing 25,024 square feet within a single building, of which17,425 square feet is developed. The developed space is presently used for manufacturing client products. Mountain View is equipped with ISO Class 7,Class 10,000 manufacturing suites, quality control, research and development laboratories and support facilities. We expect to further develop space for celltherapy manufacturing within the facility on an as needed basis. The Mountain View facility is subject to a lease agreement, as amended to date, having acurrent term that extends through June 2017. The base monthly rent is currently $46,294. Commencing July 1, 2012, the base monthly rent was$41,289.60, subject to adjustments as of July 1, 2013 and each annual anniversary thereafter during the term to reflect any changes in the cost of living;provided, however, that each such annual rental adjustment will not be less than 3% or more than 7% of the rent payable for the calendar month immediatelypreceding the applicable rental anniversary date. PCT is permitted to make certain improvements, additions and alterations to the premises subject to the termsof the lease with the lessor providing an Improvement Allowance equal to the lesser of $500,000 or the aggregate amount of Reimbursable Costs, as defined inthe July 2011 amendment to the lease. PCT has submitted plans for approval and expects to further develop the facility to expand its manufacturing capacity.Build-out is expected to commence in 2013. In connection with the July 2011 amendment to the lease, the lessor required that NeoStem, as sole member ofPCT, execute a Guaranty of Lease.Because of the specialized nature of these cell processing facilities and the time required to conceptualize, design, build, and obtain certification andoperating authority, it takes approximately nine months to go from concept to operations once space has been qualified.NeoStemIn August 2012, the Company signed a new lease for a larger space at its current executive offices at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10170. Thenew lease is believed to be sufficient space for the near future. The lease term began in September 2012 and extends through June 2015. The base monthlyrent, which includes storage space, averages approximately $27,000 per month. This property is used as the Company's corporate headquarters.ITEM 3.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements thatinvolve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of variousfactors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Risk Factors” herein. OverviewNeoStem, Inc. (“we,” “NeoStem” or the “Company”) is a leader in the emerging cellular therapy industry. Cellular therapy addresses the process bywhich new cells are introduced into a tissue to prevent or treat disease, or regenerate damaged or aged tissue, and comprises a separate therapeutic technologyplatform in addition to the current three pillars of healthcare: pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices. Modern cell-based therapies have progressedfrom the first recorded human to human blood transfusion 200 years ago through to the advanced cellular therapies of today including bone marrow and organtransplantation, tissue banking and reproductive in vitro fertilization and future therapies being investigated to treat cancer, cardiologic, neurologic,ophthalmic and orthopedic diseases among others. We anticipate that cellular therapies will have a large role in the fight against chronic disease and inlessening the economic burden that these diseases pose to modern society.Our business model includes the development of novel proprietary cell therapy products as well as operating a contract development andmanufacturing organization (“CDMO”) providing services to others in the regenerative medicine industry. The combination of a therapeutic developmentbusiness and revenue-generating service provider business provides the Company with unique capabilities for cost effective in-house product development andimmediate revenue and cash flow generation. Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“PCT”), is a leading CDMO in the cellular therapy industry. Since its inception in 1997,PCT has provided pre-clinical and clinical current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) development and manufacturing services to over 100 clientsadvancing regenerative medicine product candidates through rigorous quality standards all the way through to human testing. PCT has two cGMP, state-of-theart cell therapy research, development, and manufacturing facilities in New Jersey and California, serving the cell therapy community with integrated andregulatory compliant distribution capabilities. Its core competencies in the cellular therapy industry include manufacturing of cell therapy-based products,product and process development, cell and tissue processing, regulatory support, storage, distribution and delivery and consulting services. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Amorcyte, LLC (“Amorcyte”), which we acquired in October 2011, is developing our own cell therapy, AMR-001,for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. AMR-001 represents our most clinically advanced therapeutic product candidate and enrollment for our Phase 2PreSERVE clinical trial to investigate AMR-001's safety and efficacy in preserving heart function after a heart attack in a particular type of post AcuteMyocardial Infarction (“AMI”) patients commenced in 2012. We expect to complete enrollment for this study in 2013 with the first data readout available six toeight months thereafter.If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and/or other worldwide regulatory agencies, AMR-001 would address a significant unmetmedical need in the treatment of AMI, potentially improving the quality and longevity of life for those afflicted, and position the Company to capture ameaningful share of the worldwide AMI market.Through our majority-owned subsidiary, Athelos Corporation (“Athelos”), we are collaborating with Becton-Dickinson in early stage clinicaldevelopment of a therapy utilizing T-cells, collaborating for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including but not limited to, graft vs. host disease,type 1 diabetes, steroid resistant asthma, lupus, multiple sclerosis and solid organ transplant rejection. We plan to investigate the clinical feasibility of nTreg-based therapeutics to prevent and/or treat type 1 diabetes, graft vs. host disease, steroid resistant asthma, lupus, multiple sclerosis and solid organ transplantrejection and expect to file an Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") with the FDA in 2013 and commence human clinical studies in one of thesedisease conditions thereafter.Our pre-clinical assets include our VSEL TM (Very Small Embryonic Like) Technology platform for which we expect to file an IND with the FDA inlate 2013 or early 2014 to initiate an National Institutes of Health ("NIH") funded human clinical studies treating periodontitis with VSELsTM. We are alsoworking on a Department of Defense funded study of VSELsTM and mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic wounds.NeoStem's origins are in adult stem cell collection and storage and we believe that as new therapeutics are developed utilizing one's own stored cells(autologous), the market penetration rate for the collection and storage business may rise sharply from its current low single digits percentage level allowing ourdeveloping a network to scale rapidly if the demand grows.42Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Index In 2011, we operated our business in three reportable segments: (i) Cell Therapy — United States; (ii) Regenerative Medicine — China; and (iii)Pharmaceutical Manufacturing — China. In 2012, we exited our operations in China. Effective March 31, 2012, we no longer operated in the RegenerativeMedicine – China reportable segment, which is now reported in discontinued operations (see Note 16). On November 13, 2012, we completed the sale of our51% interest in Suzhou Erye, which represented the operations in our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - China segment, and is also reported in discontinuedoperations (see Note 16). As a result, we currently operate in a single reporting segment - Cell Therapy, which will focus on CDMO and cell therapydevelopment programs.We believe that NeoStem is ideally positioned to be an integrated leader in the cell therapy industry. We have significant basic research anddevelopment capabilities, manufacturing facilities on both the east and west coast of the United States, the support of regulatory and logistical expertise and atalented and experienced clinical team. We believe this expertise will allow us to achieve our mission of becoming the premier cell therapy company. Results of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011 Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $66.4 million compared to $56.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.Our net losses from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $36.1 million and $34.6 million, respectively.The net losses from discontinued operations - net for the years ended ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $30.3 million and $22.0 million,respectively. The losses from discontinued operations - net, reflects the operations of our Regenerative Medicine – China segment which was deconsolidated inthe first quarter of 2012, and the operations of our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - China segment, which related to the sale of our 51% interest in SuzhouErye in the fourth quarter of 2012.Revenues For the year ended December 31, 2012, total revenues were approximately $14.3 million compared to $10.1 million for the year ended December 31,2011, representing an increase of $4.3 million, or 43%. Revenues were comprised of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2012 2011Clinical Services$8,034.8 $5,503.5Clinical Services Reimbursables3,462.2 2,599.3Processing and Storage Services2,644.7 1,738.3Other188.2 208.9 $14,329.9 $10,050.1•Clinical Services, representing process development and clinical manufacturing services provided at PCT to its various clients, were approximately$8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, representing an increase ofapproximately $2.5 million or 46%. The increase in clinical services revenue is primarily due to an increased penetration into the cell therapymarketplace along with a general increase in the development of autologous cell therapies in the United States due to enhanced investment and expandedmarketing programs in 2011 and 2012. The revenue increase was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in deferred revenue as of December 31,2012 compared to December 31, 2011, related to ongoing clinical service contracts that had not met revenue recognition completion criteria. Inaccordance with our revenue recognition policy, revenue is recognized upon contract completion for certain clinical service contracts. •Clinical Services Reimbursables, representing reimbursement of expenses for certain consumables incurred on behalf of our clinical service revenueclients, were approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011,representing an increase of approximately $0.9 million or 33%. Our reimbursable revenue increased as a result of increased manufacturing and processdevelopment activity.43Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Index•Processing and Storage Services, representing revenues from our oncology, cord blood, and adult stem cell banking activities, were approximately$2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, representing an increase ofapproximately $0.9 million or 52%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue from our oncology stem cell processing service.Additionally, we added hospital clients during 2012 as more hospitals have begun to outsource their oncology stem cell processing.•Other Revenue were approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31,2011. Other revenues primarily represent license fees related to our adult stem cell technology. Cost of RevenuesFor the year ended December 31, 2012, total cost of revenues were approximately $11.9 million compared to $8.6 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2011, representing an increase of $3.3 million or 38%. Overall, gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $2.4 million or 17% of2012 revenues, compared to gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $1.4 million or 14% or 2011 revenues. The gross profit percentage increasewas due to increased efficiency in the usage of our clinical manufacturing facilities, as a result of the increased volume in 2012, which were partially offset byhigher levels of clinical services reimbursables revenues that have little or no attributable margin. Gross profit percentages generally will increase as clinicalservice revenue increases, and will fluctuate in each period due to the mix of service and reimbursable revenues and costs, as well as the timing of our revenuerecognition under our clinical services revenue recognition policy.Operating Expenses Historically, to minimize our use of cash, we have used a variety of equity and equity-linked instruments to compensate employees, consultants andother service providers. The use of these instruments has resulted in charges to the results of operations, which has from time to time in the past beensignificant. In general, these equity and equity-linked instruments were used to pay for employee and consultant compensation, director fees, marketingservices, investor relations and other activities.For the year ended December 31, 2012 operating expenses totaled $32.8 million compared to $35.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011,representing a decrease of $2.6 million or 7%. Operating expenses were comprised of the following: •Research and development expenses were approximately $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $7.7 million for the yearended December 31, 2011, representing an increase of approximately $2.8 million, or 35%. Research and development expenses increased byapproximately $6.5 million in 2012, due to the initiation in January 2012 of our Phase 2 clinical trial for AMR-001 . This increase was partiallyoffset by a $1.2 million in-process research and development charge in 2011, as well as reduced internal research activities following the closing ofour research facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2012. Equity-based compensation included in research and development expenses for the yearended December 31, 2012 was approximately $0.4 million, compared to approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011,representing a decrease of $0.5 million.•Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $22.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $27.7 million forthe year ended December 31, 2011, representing a decrease of approximately $5.4 million, or 19%. Equity-based compensation included in selling,general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $6.1 million, compared to approximately $8.9 millionfor the year ended December 31, 2011, representing a decrease of $2.8 million. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1.7million, primarily due to lower overall professional fees, as well as a one-time contribution in 2011 of $0.6 million paid in equity to the Stem for LifeFoundation. Selling expenses also decreased $0.8 million compared to the prior year period. Other Income (Expense) Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled approximately $4.3 million, and primarily represented the increase in the estimatedfair value of our contingent consideration liability from $3.1 million as of December 31, 2011 to $7.6 million as of December 31, 2012, which is associatedwith potential earn out payments on the net sales of our lead product candidate AMR-001 (in the event of and following the date of first commercial sale ofAMR-001). The change in estimated fair value is based on the Company's update of the discounted cash flow model using a probability-weighted incomeapproach, taking into account revised assumptions of the market opportunity and development costs, as well as the impact of the time progression through thePhase 2 clinical trial from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012. Other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled approximately $2.1million, and primarily relates to the revaluation of derivative liabilities that have44Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

In October 2012, the derivative liability associated with theconversion of the Series E Preferred Stock was written off in connection with the complete redemption of the Series E Preferred Stock.For the year ended December 31, 2012 interest expense was $1.6 million compared with $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Interestexpense in each period was primarily due to the amortization of debt discount related to the Series E Preferred Stock. The decrease in interest expense in 2012was due to the declining Series E Preferred Stock outstanding balance throughout first three quarters of 2012, and the redemption in October 2012 of theremaining outstanding Series E Preferred Stock. Discontinued Operations Regenerative Medicine - China segmentIn 2009, we operated our Regenerative Medicine-China business in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”) through our subsidiary, awholly foreign owned entity (“WFOE”) and entered into contractual arrangements with certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Foreign companies havecommonly used VIE structures to operate in the PRC, and while such structures are not uncommon, recently they have drawn greater scrutiny from the localChinese business community in the PRC who have urged the PRC State Council to restrict the use of these structures. In addition, in December 2011, China’sMinistry of Health announced its intention to more tightly regulate stem cell clinical trials and stem cell therapeutic treatments in the PRC, which has createduncertainty regarding the ultimate regulatory environment in the PRC. Accordingly, we took steps to restrict, and ultimately eliminate its regenerative medicinebusiness in the PRC. As a result of these steps, we have discontinued our operations in our Regenerative Medicine-China business. We have determined thatany liability arising from the activities of the WFOE and the VIEs will likely be limited to the net assets currently held by each entity.As of March 31, 2012, we recognized the following loss on exit of the Regenerative Medicine-China business (in thousands):Cash$195.1Prepaid expenses and other current assets14.9Property, plant and equipment, net1,023.7Other Assets330.5Accounts payable(177.1)Accrued liabilities(79.2)Accumulated comprehensive income(169.9)Loss on exit of segment$1,138.0 The operations and cash flows of the Regenerative Medicine - China business were eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of our exit decision,and we will not have continuing involvement in this business going forward.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, Erye's minority shareholders'share of net loss totaled approximately $12.3 million, and for the year ended December 31, 2011, Erye's minority shareholders' share of net income totaledapproximately $9.1 million. On November 13, 2012, we completed the divestiture of our 51% interest in Erye.In March 2011, we acquired rights to use patents under licenses from Becton, Dickinson and Company in exchange for an approximately 20%interest in PCT’s Athelos subsidiary. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, Becton’s minority shareholder’s share of Athelos’ net loss totaledapproximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Warrant Inducements To raise capital on terms that we deemed favorable, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Board authorized certain inducements to warrantholders to exercise outstanding common stock purchase warrants significantly before their expiration dates. We determined in each instance that suchinducements were modifications of equity instruments, and an incremental fair value of the inducement was determined using the Black-Scholes optionpricing model.In July 2012, warrant holders exercised an aggregate of 2,808,140 warrants at an exercise price of $.51 per share for gross proceeds of approximately$1.4 million. As an inducement to exercise, we issued to each exercising holder a new five year warrant to purchase the identical number of shares of ourCommon Stock as had been exercised subject to substantially the same terms as the exercised warrant, except that the per share exercise price of each newwarrant is between $.66 and $.69, the closing price of our Common Stock on the date the old warrant was exercised. The incremental fair value of theinducement recorded in 2012 was $0.4 million.In August 2012, a warrant holder exercised warrants to purchase 2,100,000 shares of the Company' common stock at an exercise price of $0.51 pershare, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.1 million. The warrants were originally issued in 2009 with an exercise price of $2.50 pershare. The incremental fair value of the inducement recorded in 2012 was $0.2 million.In August 2012, a warrant holder exercised warrants to purchase 344,825 shares of common stock at $1.85, and 300,000 shares of common stockat $1.45 per share, respectively, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.1 million. Since the exercise prices of the warrants were significantlyabove the Company's stock price, the Company issued the warrant holder 1,458,952 shares of the Company's common stock as an inducement to exercise.The incremental fair value of the inducement recorded in 2012 was $0.4 million.In September through November 2012, warrant holders exercised an aggregate of 2,147,873 warrants at an exercise price of $.51 per share for grossproceeds of approximately $1.1 million. As an inducement to exercise, we paid certain warrant holders $.03 per share upon each exercise.

The incremental fair valueof the inducement recorded in 2012 was $0.Preferred Dividends The Convertible Redeemable Series E Preferred Stock called for annual dividends of 7% based on the stated value of the preferred stock. We recordeddividends of approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, including an additional $235,000 early redemption premium upon ourelection to early redeem all outstanding Series E Preferred Stock in October 2012. We recorded dividends of approximately $0.6 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2011.Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2012 we had a cash balance of approximately $13.7 million, working capital of approximately $6.8 million, and shareholders’equity of approximately $33.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we met our immediate cash requirements through revenue generated from our PCT operations, existingcash balances, private placements and a public offering of our common stock and warrants (which raised an aggregate of approximately $16.4 million),warrant exercises (which raised approximately $6.6 million), the sale of our 51% interest in Erye for consideration which included $12.3 million in cash, andthe use of equity and equity-linked instruments to pay for services and compensation.

To induce the exercise of certain of these warrants,we provided consideration to the warrant holders in the form of either cash, stock or additional warrants.During 2012, we made cash payment totaling $5.7 million for the repayment of our Series E Preferred Stock and dividends.Liquidity and Capital Requirements OutlookCapital Requirements We expect to incur substantial additional costs in connection with our continuing transition to a cell therapy development company. In particular,Amorcyte is currently recruiting clinical trial sites for a 160 patient, Phase 2 clinical trial for Amorcyte’s lead product candidate, AMR-001, for the treatmentof AMI. The trial began enrollment in January 2012, and is expected to cost approximately $16 million over the first two years and anticipated to cost up toapproximately $22 million over a five year period, inclusive of manufacturing costs. We have incurred approximately $6.7 million on the Phase 2 trial as ofDecember 31, 2012. Liquidity To support our liquidity needs, in 2012:•we raised an aggregate of approximately $20.5 million (or net proceeds of approximately $19.7 million) through an underwritten public offering ofcommon stock and warrants, private placements, and warrant exercises.•we raised an aggregate of approximately $3.3 million under the Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital, which provides that Aspire Capital iscommitted to purchase up to $20 million of shares of the Company’s common stock over the term of that Agreement through September 30, 2015,subject to certain terms and conditions, including a floor price.•we completed the sale of our 51% interest in Erye for total consideration including approximately $12.3 million in cash.We anticipate that we will take further steps to raise additional capital in order to (i) fund the development of advanced cell therapies, including thedevelopment of AMR-001, and (ii) grow the PCT business, including expanding into Europe, implementing additional automation capabilities and establishingcommercial capacity.To meet our short and long term liquidity needs, we currently expect to use existing cash balances and the growth of our revenue generating activities,and a variety of other means that could include, but not be limited to, the use of our current equity line, potential additional warrant exercises, option exercises,issuances of other debt or equity securities in public or private financings, and/or sale of assets. In addition, we will continue to seek as appropriate grants forscientific and clinical studies from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and other governmental agencies and foundations, but there canbe no assurance that we will be successful in qualifying for or obtaining such grants. Our history of operating losses and liquidity challenges, may make itdifficult 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 isdependent upon many factors, including the general state of the financial markets. During times of extreme market volatility, capital may not be available onfavorable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain such additional capital could materially and adversely affect our business operations. In August 2011, the Department of Defense (DOD) Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) of the Office of the Congressionally DirectedMedical Research Programs (CDMRP) awarded NeoStem approximately $1.78 million to be applied towards funding the Company's VSEL ™ Technology,which award will support an investigation of a unique stem cell population, Very Small Embryonic-Like (VSEL) stem cells, for its bone building andregenerative effects in the treatment of osteoporosis. This past year marked a new level of achievement for VSELTM Technology as we received a two year granttotaling approximately $1.2 million for “Repair of Bone Defects with Human Autologous Pluripotent Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSEL)” fromthe National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This peer-reviewed grant is tosupport the first NIH approved clinical study of VSELsTM in humans.While we continue to seek capital through a number of means, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available or on acceptableterms, if at all, and our negotiating position in capital generating efforts may worsen as existing49Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Additional equity financing may be dilutive to our stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash paymentobligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate as a business, our stock price may not reach levels necessary to induce option or warrantexercises, 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 liquidityneeds, 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 termsthat we currently consider unfavorable.Commitments and Contingencies The following table summarizes our obligations to make future payments under current contracts as of December 31, 2012 (in thousands): Total Less than 1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years More than 5 YearsContractual Obligations Mortgages Payable$3,438.5 $201.8 $438.2 $2,414.8 $383.7Capital Lease Obligations254.9 83.4 171.5 — —Operating Lease Obligations3,592.9 1,143.3 1,592.5 857.1 — $7,286.3 $1,428.5 $2,202.2 $3,271.9 $383.7Under an agreement with an external clinical research organization (“CRO”), we will incur expenses relating to our AMR-001 Phase 2 clinical trial forthe treatment of AMI.

SEASONALITY NeoStem does not believe that its operations are seasonal in nature. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS NeoStem does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATESThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management tomake estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates andassumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the resultsof which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual resultscould differ from these estimates.An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it is important to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and if it requiresmanagement’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments in its application. For a summary of all of the Company’s significant accounting policies, seeNote 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.Revenue Recognition Clinical Services: The Company recognizes revenue for its (i) cell process development and (ii) cell manufacturing services based on the terms ofindividual contracts.Revenues associated with cell process development services generally contain multiple stages that do not have stand-alone values and are dependentupon one another, and are recognized as revenue on a completed contract basis. We recognize revenues for cell development services when all of the followingconditions are met:•persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;•delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered;50Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Index•the fee is fixed or determinable; and•collectability is probable.The Company considers signed contracts as evidence of an arrangement. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based onthe payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the payment terms are subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses cashcollectability based on a number of factors, including past collection history with the client and the client's creditworthiness. If the Company determines thatcollectability is not reasonably assured, it defers revenue recognition until collectability becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of thecash. The Company's arrangements are generally non-cancellable, though clients typically have the right to terminate their agreement for cause if the Companymaterially fails to perform.Cell manufacturing services are generally distinct arrangements whereby the Company is paid for time and materials or for fixed monthly amounts.Revenue is recognized when efforts are expended or contractual terms have been met.Some client agreements include multiple elements, comprised of cell process development and cell manufacturing services. The Company believesthat cell process development and cell manufacturing services each have stand-alone value because these services can be provided separately by othercompanies. In accordance with ASC Update No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” The Company(1) separates deliverables into separate units of accounting when deliverables are sold in a bundled arrangement and (2) allocates the arrangement'sconsideration to each unit in the arrangement based on its relative selling price. Clinical Services Reimbursements: The Company separately charges the customers for the expenses associated with certain consumable resources(reimbursable expenses) that are specified in each clinical services contract. On a monthly basis, the Company bills customers for reimbursable expenses andimmediately recognizes these billings as revenue, as the revenue is deemed earned as reimbursable expenses are incurred. Processing and Storage Services: The Company recognizes revenue related to the collection and cryopreservation of cord blood and autologousadult stem cells when the cryopreservation process is completed which is approximately twenty-four hours after cells have been collected. Revenue related toadvance payments of storage fees is recognized ratably over the period covered by the advance payments.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. Advisor and consultant awards areremeasured each reporting period through vesting. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, the Company estimates the probability of achievementof the performance criteria and recognizes compensation expense related to those awards expected to vest. The Company determines the fair value of certainshare-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which uses both historical and current market data to estimate the fair value. This methodincorporates 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 dateof grant.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 anindefinite life are related to in process research and development for AMR-001, the clinical candidate acquired in the Amorcyte acquisition, as the Companyexpects this research and development to provide the Company with substantial benefit for a period that extends beyond the foreseeable horizon. Amortizedintangible assets consist of customer lists, manufacturing technology, and tradename, as well as patents and rights associated primarily with the VSEL™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-livedintangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reducethe fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company tests its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets each year on December 31.The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets utilizing a discounted cash flow model, and, where appropriate, amarket value approach is also utilized to supplement the discounted cash flow model. The Company makes assumptions regarding estimated future cash51Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Indexflows, discount rates, long-term growth rates and market values to determine each reporting unit’s estimated fair value. If these estimates or relatedassumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges. In accordance with it's accounting policy, the Company testedgoodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2012 for its two reporting units, and concluded there was no risk of failing step 1 of the goodwill impairmenttesting evaluation.Evaluation of Long-lived AssetsThe Company reviews long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe 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 thatthe 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 ofthe asset or its eventual disposition, and recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss, if determined to be necessary, would be measured as the amountby which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.Recognizing and Measuring Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in Business Combinations at Fair ValueThe Company accounts for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilitiesassumed be recorded at date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquiredbusiness after the completion of the acquisition. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the underlying netassets of the acquired business based on their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquiredis recorded as goodwill. Beginning in 2009, amounts allocated to IPR&D are included on the balance sheet . Intangible assets, including IPR&D assets uponsuccessful completion of the project and approval of the product, are amortized on a straight-line basis to amortization expense over the expected life of theasset. Significant judgments are used in determining the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in determiningestimates of useful lives of long-lived assets. Fair value determinations and useful life estimates are based on, among other factors, estimates of expected futurenet cash flows, estimates of appropriate discount rates used to present value expected future net cash flow streams, the timing of approvals for IPR&D projectsand the timing of related product launch dates, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the impact of competitive trends on each asset’s life cycle and otherfactors. These judgments can materially impact the estimates used to allocate acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed and theresulting timing and amount of amounts charged to, or recognized in current and future operating results. For these and other reasons, actual results may varysignificantly from estimated results.The Company determines the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approachderived from revenue estimates, post-tax gross profit levels and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligationsincluding contingent payments such as milestone obligations, royalty obligations and contract earn-out criteria, where applicable. The fair value measurementis based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair value measurement accounting. Theresultant probability-weighted cash flows are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate. At each reporting date, the contingent considerationobligation will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in our consolidated statement of operations.Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amountof revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent payment obligations. Changesin assumptions utilized in our contingent consideration fair value estimates could result in an increase or decrease in our contingent consideration obligationand a corresponding charge to operating income.ITEM 7A.

(“we,” “NeoStem” or the “Company”) is a leader in the emerging cellular therapy industry. Cellular therapy addresses the process bywhich new cells are introduced into a tissue to prevent or treat disease, or regenerate damaged or aged tissue, and comprises a separate therapeutic technologyplatform in addition to the current three pillars of healthcare: pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices. Modern cell-based therapies have progressedfrom the first recorded human to human blood transfusion 200 years ago through to the advanced cellular therapies of today including bone marrow and organtransplantation, tissue banking and reproductive in vitro fertilization and future therapies being investigated to treat cancer, cardiologic, neurologic,ophthalmic and orthopedic diseases among others. We anticipate that cellular therapies will have a large role in the fight against chronic disease and inlessening the economic burden that these diseases pose to modern society.Our business model includes the development of novel proprietary cell therapy products as well as operating a contract development andmanufacturing organization (“CDMO”) providing services to others in the regenerative medicine industry. The combination of a therapeutic developmentbusiness and revenue-generating service provider business provides the Company with unique capabilities for cost effective in-house product development andimmediate revenue and cash flow generation. Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“PCT”), is a leading CDMO in the cellular therapy industry. Since its inception in 1997,PCT has provided pre-clinical and clinical current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) development and manufacturing services to over 100 clientsadvancing regenerative medicine product candidates through rigorous quality standards all the way through to human testing. PCT has two cGMP, state-of-theart cell therapy research, development, and manufacturing facilities in New Jersey and California, serving the cell therapy community with integrated andregulatory compliant distribution capabilities. Its core competencies in the cellular therapy industry include manufacturing of cell therapy-based products,product and process development, cell and tissue processing, regulatory support, storage, distribution and delivery and consulting services. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Amorcyte, LLC (“Amorcyte”), which we acquired in October 2011, is developing our own cell therapy, AMR-001,for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. AMR-001 represents our most clinically advanced therapeutic product candidate and enrollment for our Phase 2PreSERVE clinical trial to investigate AMR-001's safety and efficacy in preserving heart function after a heart attack in a particular type of post AcuteMyocardial Infarction (“AMI”) patients commenced in 2012. We expect to complete enrollment for this study in 2013 with the first data readout available six toeight months thereafter.If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and/or other worldwide regulatory agencies, AMR-001 would address a significant unmetmedical need in the treatment of AMI, potentially improving the quality and longevity of life for those afflicted, and position the Company to capture ameaningful share of the worldwide AMI market.Through our majority-owned subsidiary, Athelos Corporation (“Athelos”), we are collaborating with Becton-Dickinson in early stage clinicaldevelopment of a therapy utilizing T-cells, collaborating for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including but not limited to, graft vs. host disease,type 1 diabetes, steroid resistant asthma, lupus, multiple sclerosis and solid organ transplant rejection. We plan to investigate the clinical feasibility of nTreg-based therapeutics to prevent and/or treat type 1 diabetes, graft vs. host disease, steroid resistant asthma, lupus, multiple sclerosis and solid organ transplantrejection and expect to file an Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") with the FDA in 2013 and commence human clinical studies in one of thesedisease conditions thereafter.Our pre-clinical assets include our VSEL TM (Very Small Embryonic Like) Technology platform for which we expect to file an IND with the FDA inlate 2013 or early 2014 to initiate an National Institutes of Health ("NIH") funded human clinical studies treating periodontitis with VSELsTM. We are alsoworking on a Department of Defense funded study of VSELsTM and mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic wounds.NeoStem's origins are in adult stem cell collection and storage and we believe that as new therapeutics are developed utilizing one's own stored cells(autologous), the market penetration rate for the collection and storage business may rise sharply from its current low single digits percentage level allowing ourdeveloping a network to scale rapidly if the demand grows. In 2011, we operated our business in three reportable segments: (i) Cell Therapy — United States; (ii) Regenerative Medicine — China; and (iii)Pharmaceutical Manufacturing — China. In 2012, we exited our operations in China.

IndexMarch 31, 2012, we no longer operated in the Regenerative Medicine – China reportable segment, which is now reported in discontinued operations (see Note16). On November 13, 2012, we completed the sale of our 51% interest in Suzhou Erye, which represented the operations in our PharmaceuticalManufacturing - China segment, and is also reported in discontinued operations (see Note 16). As a result, we currently operate in a single reporting segment -Cell Therapy, which will focus on CDMO and cell therapy development programs.We believe that NeoStem is ideally positioned to be an integrated leader in the cell therapy industry. We have significant basic research anddevelopment capabilities, manufacturing facilities on both the east and west coast of the United States, the support of regulatory and logistical expertise and atalented and experienced clinical team. We believe this expertise will allow us to achieve our mission of becoming the premier cell therapy company.Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and partially ownedsubsidiaries, the operations of our former Regenerative Medicine - China segment through the deconsolidation date on March 31, 2012 (see Note 16), and theoperations of our former Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - China reporting segment through November 13, 2012, the date on which the segment was sold (seeNote 16). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, include all normal andrecurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of itsoperations and its cash flows for the periods presented. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe 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.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexAccounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company applies judgment in connectionwith 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 incustomer concentrations or payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness or weakening economic trends could have a significant impact on thecollectability of the receivables and the Company’s operating results. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in animpairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes inpayment trends by its customers, and records a reserve when it believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Inventories The Company, through its PCT subsidiary, regularly enters into contracts with clients for services that have multiple stages and are dependent on oneanother to complete the contract and recognize revenue. The Company's inventory represents work in process for costs incurred on such projects at PCT thathave not been completed. The Company reviews these projects periodically to determine that the value of each project is stated at the lower of cost or market.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-linemethod. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend original asset lives are charged to expense as incurred. The estimated useful lives of property,plant and equipment are as follows:Building and improvements25-30 yearsMachinery and equipment8-12 yearsLab equipment5-7 yearsFurniture and fixtures5-12 yearsSoftware3-5 yearsLeasehold improvementsLife of leaseGoodwill 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 anindefinite life are related to in process research and development for AMR-001, the clinical candidate acquired in the Amorcyte acquisition, as the Companyexpects this research and development to provide the Company with substantial benefit for a period that extends beyond the foreseeable horizon. Amortizedintangible assets consist of customer lists, manufacturing technology, and tradename, as well as patents and rights associated primarily with the VSEL™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 intangibleassets are reviewed for possible impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fairvalue of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company tests its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets each year on December 31. TheCompany reviews the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets utilizing a discounted cash flow model, and, where appropriate, amarket value approach is also utilized to supplement the discounted cash flow model. The Company makes assumptions regarding estimated future cashflows, discount rates, long-term growth rates and market values to determine each reporting unit’s estimated fair value. If these estimates or relatedassumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges.Evaluation of Long-lived AssetsThe Company reviews long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that thecarrying 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 theCompany expects to hold and use may not be recoverable, the64Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

IndexCompany will estimate the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or its eventual disposition, and recognize an impairmentloss. 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 valueof the assets.Recognizing and Measuring Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in Business Combinations at Fair ValueThe Company accounts for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed berecorded at date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquired business afterthe completion of the acquisition. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the underlying net assets of theacquired business based on their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded asgoodwill. Beginning in 2009, amounts allocated to IPR&D are included on the balance sheet . Intangible assets, including IPR&D assets upon successfulcompletion of the project and approval of the product, are amortized on a straight-line basis to amortization expense over the expected life of the asset.Significant judgments are used in determining the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in determining estimates ofuseful lives of long-lived assets. Fair value determinations and useful life estimates are based on, among other factors, estimates of expected future net cashflows, estimates of appropriate discount rates used to present value expected future net cash flow streams, the timing of approvals for IPR&D projects and thetiming of related product launch dates, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the impact of competitive trends on each asset’s life cycle and other factors.These judgments can materially impact the estimates used to allocate acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resultingtiming and amount of amounts charged to, or recognized in current and future operating results. For these and other reasons, actual results may varysignificantly from estimated results.The Company determines the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approach derivedfrom revenue estimates, post-tax gross profit levels and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations includingcontingent payments such as milestone obligations, royalty obligations and contract earn-out criteria, where applicable. The fair value measurement is basedon significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair value measurement accounting. The resultantprobability-weighted cash flows are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate. At each reporting date, the contingent considerationobligation will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in our consolidated statement of operations.Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amountof revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent payment obligations. Changesin assumptions utilized in our contingent consideration fair value estimates could result in an increase or decrease in our contingent consideration obligationand a corresponding charge to operating income.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. Advisor and consultant awards are remeasured eachreporting period through vesting. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, the Company estimates the probability of achievement of theperformance 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 methodincorporates 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 dateof grant.Loss Per ShareBasic loss per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net loss attributable tocommon stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share, which is calculated by dividing net lossattributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic loss per share calculation plus the number ofcommon shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding, is not presented as such potentially dilutivesecurities are anti-dilutive in all periods presented.Derivatives65Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. IndexDerivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, are recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liabilitymeasured at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized currently in results of operations unless specific hedge accountingcriteria are met. The Company has not entered into hedging activities to date. Changes in the derivative value are recorded as other income (expense) on theconsolidated statements of operations.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 taxconsequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company continues to evaluate the accounting foruncertainty in tax positions. The guidance requires companies to recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if the position is morelikely than not of being sustained on audit. The position ascertained inherently requires judgment and estimates by management. The Company recognizesinterest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.Foreign Currency Translation Results of the the Company’s former Chinese operating segments were translated at the average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilitieswere translated at the closing rate at the end of each reporting period. Cash flows were also translated at average exchange rates for the period, therefore,amounts reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows did not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balancesheet.Revenue Recognition Clinical Services: The Company recognizes revenue for its (i) cell process development and (ii) cell manufacturing services based on the terms ofindividual contracts.Revenues associated with cell process development services generally contain multiple stages that do not have stand-alone values and are dependent uponone another, and are recognized as revenue on a completed contract basis. We recognize revenues for cell development services when all of the followingconditions are met:•persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;•delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered;•the fee is fixed or determinable; and•collectability is probable.The Company considers signed contracts as evidence of an arrangement. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based onthe payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the payment terms are subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses cashcollectability based on a number of factors, including past collection history with the client and the client's creditworthiness. If the Company determines thatcollectability is not reasonably assured, it defers revenue recognition until collectability becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of thecash. The Company's arrangements are generally non-cancellable, though clients typically have the right to terminate their agreement for cause if the Companymaterially fails to perform.Cell manufacturing services are generally distinct arrangements whereby the Company is paid for time and materials or for fixed monthly amounts.Revenue is recognized when efforts are expended or contractual terms have been met.Some client agreements include multiple elements, comprised of cell process development and cell manufacturing services. The Company believes thatcell process development and cell manufacturing services each have stand-alone value because these services can be provided separately by other companies. Inaccordance with ASC Update No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” The Company (1) separatesdeliverables into separate units of accounting when deliverables are sold in a bundled arrangement and (2) allocates the arrangement's consideration to each unitin the arrangement based on its relative selling price. Clinical Services Reimbursements: The Company separately charges the customers for the expenses associated with certain consumable resources(reimbursable expenses) that are specified in each clinical services contract. On a monthly basis, the Company66Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, clinical services reimbursements were $3.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Processing and Storage Services: The Company recognizes revenue related to the collection and cryopreservation of cord blood and autologous adultstem cells when the cryopreservation process is completed which is approximately twenty-four hours after cells have been collected. Revenue related to advancepayments of storage fees is recognized ratably over the period covered by the advance payments.Research and Development Costs Research and development (“R&D”) expenses include salaries, benefits, and other headcount related costs, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturingcosts, contract and other outside service fees including sponsored research agreements, and facilities and overhead costs. The Company expenses the costsassociated 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 andnot-for-profit organizations to contribute funds for the Company’s research and development programs. The Company accounts for government grants as adeduction to the related expense in research and development operating expenses when earned. New Accounting PronouncementsIn July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02 (“ASU 2012-02”), Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The guidance is intended to simplify impairment testing ofindefinite-lived intangible assets such as In-Process Research and Development by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likelythan not” that the fair value of an asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairmenttest. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. This guidance is effective for annual and interim tests performedfor fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financialposition or results of operations.In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-04 (“ASU 2012-04”), Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendmentsin this update have covered a wide range of topics and included technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. Theamendments in ASU 2012-04 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance isnot expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.Note 3 – Acquisitions Amorcyte Acquisition On October 17, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), Amo Acquisition Company I, Inc.

The Company is required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following categories: Level 1 inputs are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to accessat the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly orindirectly. Level 3 inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level ofinput that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurementrequires 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 money market investments, which are considered trading securities, to be level 1 inputsmeasured by quoted prices of the securities in active markets. The money market investments are included within prepaids and other current assets on thebalance sheet as of December 31, 2011. The Company determined the fair value of funds invested in money market funds to be level 1. The Companydetermined the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities and warrant derivative liabilities to be level 3 inputs. These inputs require material subjectivitybecause value is derived through the use of a lattice model that values the derivatives based on probability weighted discounted cash flows.

The fair value of contingent consideration obligations is based on adiscounted cash flow model using a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or nomarket activity based on our own assumptions and experience. The value of our contingent consideration was initially calculated using a discount rate of 30%.We base the timing to complete the development and approval of this product on the current development stage of the product and the inherent difficulties anduncertainties in developing a product candidate, such as obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory approvals. In determiningthe probability of regulatory approval and commercial success, we utilize data regarding similar milestone events from several sources, including industrystudies and our own experience. These fair value measurements represent Level 3 measurements as they are based on significant inputs not observable in themarket. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period.Accordingly, changes in assumptions could have a material impact on the amount of contingent consideration expense we record in any given period. Changesin the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations.

Each Preferred Offering Unit was priced at $0.945 and total gross and netproceeds received by the Company were $10,000,000 and $8,876,700, respectively. Monthly dividend and principal payments began on March 21, 2011, and continued on the 19th of each month thereafter with the final payment due onMay 20, 2012. On October 25, 2012, the Company completed the redemption of all 2,351,558 outstanding shares of its Series E Preferred Stock, for anaggregate cash redemption price of approximately $3.4 million, $2.5 million of which was funded by money placed into escrow when the Series E Preferredstock was issued in November 2010. The cash redemption included the repayment of $3.1 million outstanding principal, an additional early redemptionpremium of $235,000, which was in dividends, and $36,000 of accrued interest.Dividends on the Preferred Shares had accrued at a rate of 7% per annum and were payable monthly in arrears.

At the Company’sdiscretion, it may present Aspire Capital with purchase notices under the Purchase Agreement from time to time, to purchase the Company’s Common Stock,provided certain price and other requirements are met. The purchase price for the shares of stock will be based upon one of two formulas set forth in thePurchase Agreement depending on the type of purchase notice we submit to Aspire Capital from time to time, and will be based on market prices of theCompany’s common stock (in the case of regular purchases) or a discount of 5% applied to volume weighted average prices (in the case of VWAP purchases),in each case as determined by parameters defined in the agreement. The Company and Aspire Capital shall not effect any sales under the Purchase Agreementon any date where the closing sales price is less than 75% of the closing sales price on the business day immediately preceding the date of the PurchaseAgreement. The Company’s net proceeds will depend on the purchase price and the frequency of the Company’s sales of shares to Aspire Capital; provided,however, that the maximum aggregate proceeds from sales of shares is $20.0 million. The Company’s delivery of purchase notices will be made subject tomarket conditions, in light of the Company’s capital needs from time to time and under the limitations contained in the Purchase Agreement.

The Company’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards is limited following a change in ownership in excessof 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 netoperating losses to future taxable income. As of December 31, 2012 the Company has lost $26.0 million or $8.8 million in tax benefits, of net operating lossesapplicable to Federal income taxes which expired due to these limitations and expiration of net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2012, theCompany had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $69.7 million applicable to future Federal income taxes. The tax loss carryforwards aresubject to annual limitations and expire at various dates through 2030. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assetbecause it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.As of December 31, 2012, management does not believe the Company has any material uncertain tax positions that would require it to measure and reflectthe potential lack of sustainability of a position on audit in its financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate its uncertain tax positions in futureperiods to determine if measurement and recognition in its financial statements is necessary. The Company does not believe there will be any material changesin its unrecognized tax positions over the next year.

IndexIn connection with the issuance to investors and service providers of many of the shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchasecommon stock previously disclosed and described herein, the Company granted the holders registration rights providing for the registration of such shares ofcommon 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 aneffective 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 theholders (except for holders whose shares of Common Stock were currently salable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or who waived certain rights); suchregistration statement was declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 2011. The Company has certain obligations to maintain the effectiveness of thisregistration statement. Certain holders who had outstanding registration rights had previously waived their registration rights or were subject to lock-upagreements. No holder has yet asserted any claim against the Company with respect to a failure to satisfy any registration obligations. Were someone to assert aclaim against the Company for breach of registration obligations, the Company believes it has several defenses that would result in relieving it from some orany 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 towhich registration rights attached are either now registered or currently salable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or are otherwise currently subject to otherrestrictions on sale and (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying warrants with registration rights are now registered, and during much of the relevantperiods the warrants with registration rights generally have been out of the money, were subject to lock-up agreements and/or the underlying shares of CommonStock were otherwise subject to restrictions on resale. Accordingly, were holders to assert claims against the Company based on breach of the Company’sobligation to register, the Company believes that the Company’s maximum exposure would not be material.Note 19 – Subsequent Events Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Aspire (see Note 13), from January 1, 2013 through February 28, 2013, Aspire has purchased 2.9 millionshares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately $1.8 million pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.86Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 11, 2013Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

(a) Disclosure Controls and ProceduresDisclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed 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 andprocedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Companyfiles under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, asappropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, managementrecognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired controlobjectives. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities thatjudgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumventedby the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can onlyprovide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.As of December 31, 2012, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’sChief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of theExchange Act.

Nominees for director must bediscussed by the full Board of Directors and approved for nomination by the affirmative vote of a majority of our Board of Directors, including theaffirmative vote of a majority of the independent directors.

This information is evaluated against the criteria set forth above and our specific needs at that time. Based upon a preliminaryassessment of the candidate(s), those who appear best suited to meet our needs may be invited to participate in a series of interviews, which are used as afurther means of evaluating potential candidates. On the basis of information learned during this process, the Board of Directors will determine whichnominee(s) to include in the slate of candidates that the Board of Directors recommends for election at each annual meeting of our stockholders.
