BUSINESS SUMMARY 
StemCells, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company, focuses on the research, development, and commercialization of products derived from stem cell technologies. It focuses on developing cell-based therapeutics to treat diseases of the central nervous system and liver. The company’s lead product candidate, HuCNS-SC cells are purified human neural stem cells, which can be expanded and banked until they are delivered as patient doses. StemCells has completed Phase I clinical trial of HuCNS-SC cells as a potential treatment for neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects infants and young children. The company has also received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to initiate Phase I clinical trial of the HuCNS-SC cells as a potential treatment for Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease, a rare and fatal brain disorder that primarily affects young children. In addition, StemCells, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Stem Cell Sciences UK Ltd, is also pursuing applications of its cell-based technologies to develop research and drug screening tools, such as cell-based assays, and media and reagent tools. StemCells has exclusive rights to approximately 55 issued or allowed U.S. patents and approximately 200 granted or allowed non-U.S. patents. The company was founded in 1988 and is based in Palo Alto, California.
