PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

NEOSTEM, INC.

1,270,000 Units

Offered at $5.00 - $5.50 per Unit

Each unit consisting of one (1) share of common stock and one-half (1¤2) a redeemable Class A warrant

NeoStem, Inc. (the “Company”, or “we”) is offering to sell to the public up to 1,270,000 units at a price in the range of $5.00 - $5.50 per unit, through Mercer Capital Ltd. (the “Underwriter”) and other broker/dealers (arranged by the Underwriter) who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD). Each unit will consist of one (1) share of our common stock and one-half (1¤2) a Class A warrant to purchase one-half (1¤2) a share of our common stock, so that 1,000 units will consist of 1,000 shares and a warrant to purchase 500 shares of our common stock. The Class A warrants will trade only as a part of a unit for 60 days following the final closing of this offering unless separate trading is authorized earlier by the Underwriter. Each Class A warrant will entitle its owner to purchase one share of our common stock for between $6.00 and $6.50 [the Common Stock Price (as defined below) plus $1.00] (the “Warrant Price”). The “Common Stock Price” is the unit price.

This offering is a “best efforts offering.” The Underwriter is not required to place any firm orders or purchase any of the units, but has agreed to use its best efforts to market the units on our behalf. We and the Underwriter will deposit all payments in an escrow account at U.S. Bank National Association. If we do not accept an investor’s subscription, we will return his funds promptly, with any interest earned, without deduction. We and the Underwriter will determine the timing of the initial closing of the offering. At the initial closing, we will transfer the funds out of the escrow account and promptly issue the units to the investors. After the initial closing, we and the Underwriter will continue to deposit all subsequent payments into the escrow account until the earlier of (i) 60 days from the effective date of the offering, or (ii) the date on which a total of 1,270,000 units have been subscribed and accepted, promptly after which we will have a final closing. There may be one or more interim closings between the initial and the final closings. There is no minimum number of units which must be subscribed for before we may accept subscriptions but each investor may only purchase an even number of units.

Our common stock currently is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an automated quotation service maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc., under the symbol “NEOI.OB.” On July 6, 2007, the last reported sales price of our common stock was $5.70. Our common stock, units and Class A warrants have been accepted for listing under the symbols “NBS”, “NBS.U”, and “NBS.WS” respectively, on the American Stock Exchange effective upon consummation of the initial closing, provided we have satisfied all conditions to listing, including (a) that we have effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of our common stock and (b) that our stockholders equity immediately after the initial closing is greater than $4 million. Our stockholders have approved such a reverse stock split which we will effectuate concurrently with the initial closing. Accordingly, all share numbers in this prospectus have been adjusted as if the one-for-ten reverse stock split had already taken place. Further, we will not consummate the initial closing unless we are concurrently listed on the American Stock Exchange.

Investing in the securities offered by this prospectus involves significant risks. We urge you to read carefully the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 6 where we describe specific risks you should consider before buying these units.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(1)                If all units are sold, we estimate total cash expenses for this offering to be approximately $307,000 - $319,700 after commissions of 7%. This includes a non-accountable expense allowance of 2% of the gross proceeds of this offering. In addition, we have agreed to issue to the Underwriter warrants to purchase 5% of the total number of shares sold, including shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants on the same terms as the Class A warrants except that the Underwriter’s warrants are cashless and exercisable at 130% of the Common Stock Price.

(2)                Before deducting estimated offering expenses of approximately $307,000 - $319,700.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary contains basic information about us and this offering. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and our financial statements and the notes thereto, before making an investment decision.

Our Company

We are in the business of operating a commercial autologous (donor and recipient are the same) adult stem cell bank and are pioneering the pre-disease collection, processing and long-term storage of stem cells from healthy adult donors that they can access for their own present and future medical treatment. On January 19, 2006 we consummated the acquisition of the assets of NS California, Inc., a California corporation (“NS California”) relating to NS California’s business of collecting and storing adult stem cells. Effective with the acquisition, the business of NS California became our principal business, rather than our historic business of providing capital and business guidance to companies in the healthcare and life science industries. We now provide adult stem cell processing, collection and banking services with the goal of making stem cell collection and storage widely available, so that the general population will have the opportunity to store their own stem cells for current and future healthcare needs. Using our proprietary process, we provide the infrastructure, methods and systems that allow adults to have their stem cells safely collected and conveniently banked for future therapeutic use as needed in the treatment of such life-threatening diseases as diabetes, heart disease and radiation sickness that may result from a bio-terrorist attack or nuclear accident. We also hope to become the leading provider of adult stem cells for diagnostic and therapeutic use in the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are over 700 clinical trials underway relating to the use of adult stem cells, over 200 relating to autologous use, in the treatment of numerous serious diseases and conditions, including those that address cardiac disease, autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, peripheral vascular diseases, and age-related musculoskeletal disorders, as well as diabetes, cancer, neurological disease and wound healing.

We are structuring an aggressive direct to consumer marketing plan to drive awareness and target individuals who can afford our services. We also believe that those with economic constraints can now afford our services with the financing relationship we have established with GE Credit Care. We are planning to educate individuals that have a family history or early diagnosis of diseases being treated with stem cell therapy as well as those who have banked their infants stem cells that can afford this “bioinsurance.” Additionally we are working on establishing collaborations with high profile medical centers and academic institutions involved in cutting edge research and clinical trials to evaluate the use of stem cells for the treatment of various diseases. We believe that there is a significant need for our banking services for our first responders and homeland security personnel. We are moving forward to educate those groups and find resources to protect those individuals who protect us. Our other go-to market strategies include collaboration with cord blood companies, tissue banks, pharmaceutical companies, concierge medical programs, executive health plans and regenerative medicine specialists.

We have engaged in various capital raising activities to pursue this business opportunity, raising approximately $3,573,000 in 2006 and $2,500,000 in 2007 (through July 6, 2007) through the sale of our common stock, warrants and convertible promissory notes. Such capital raising activities are enabling us to pursue our business plan and grow our adult stem cell collection and storage business, including expanding marketing and sales activities. However, in order to fully develop our business, we will need to raise additional funds.

On August 29, 2006, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of one-for-ten shares and to change our name

from Phase III Medical, Inc. to NeoStem, Inc. On June 14, 2007, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio between one-for-three and one-for-ten shares in the event it was deemed necessary by the Company’s Board of Directors in order to be accepted onto a securities exchange. On July 9, 2007, our Board authorized the reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-ten shares to be effective upon the initial closing of this offering in order to satisfy the listing requirements of the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, all numbers in this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect both the one-for-ten reverse stock split which was effective as of August 31, 2006, and the one-for-ten reverse stock split approved in July 2007 which will be effective concurrently with the initial closing of this offering.

NeoStem, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1980 under the name Fidelity Medical Services, Inc. Our corporate headquarters is located at 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 450, New York, NY 10170, our telephone number is (212) 584-4180 and our website address is www.neostem.com. The information contained on our website is not a part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our units and common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase the units. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business and impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business strategy, financial condition or operating results could be harmed. This could cause the trading price of our units and common stock to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY’S FINANCIAL CONDITION

We have a history of operating losses and we will continue to incur losses.

Since our inception in 1980, we have generated only limited revenues from sales and have incurred substantial net losses of $6,051,400, $1,745,039 and $1,748,372 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1,816,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect to incur additional operating losses as well as negative cash flow from our new business operations until we successfully commercialize the collection, processing and storage of adult stem cells, if ever.

We have liquidity problems, which may affect our ability to raise capital.

At March 31, 2007, we had a cash balance of $1,058,898, working capital of $727,203 and stockholders’ equity of $1,360,583. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $85,000. Our history of illiquidity and losses may make it difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms. We have from time to time raised capital for our activities through the sale of our equity securities and promissory notes. Most recently, we raised $2,500,000 in January and February 2007 through the private placement sale of our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock. Such capital raising activities are enabling us to pursue our business plan and grow our adult stem cell collection and storage business, including expanding marketing and sales activities as well as pay certain of our outstanding liabilities.

We will need substantial additional financing to continue operations.

We will require substantial capital to fund our current operating plan for our new business. In addition, our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of expenses relating to marketing, advertising, sales, distribution, research and development and regulatory affairs, as well as the costs of maintaining, expanding and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities.

Our inability to obtain future capital funding on acceptable terms will negatively affect our business operations and current investors.

We expect that in the future we will seek additional funding through public or private financings. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If additional capital is raised through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, further dilution to then existing stockholders will result. If additional capital is raised through the incurrence of debt, our business could be affected by the amount of leverage incurred. For instance, such borrowings could subject us to covenants restricting our business activities, paying interest would divert funds that would otherwise be available to support commercialization and other important activities, and holders of debt instruments would have rights and privileges senior to those of equity investors. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some of our planned activities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the business.

6

We will continue to experience cash outflows.

We continue to incur expenses, including the salary of our executive officers, rent, legal, marketing and accounting fees, insurance and general administrative expenses. Our business activities are in the early stages of development and will therefore result in additional cash outflows in the foreseeable future. It is not possible at this time to state whether we will be able to finance these cash outflows or when we will achieve a positive cash position, if at all. Our ability to become profitable will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize the business. We cannot assure that we will ever become profitable and we expect to continue to incur losses. NS California itself had nominal operations and nominal assets at the time of our acquisition of its adult stem cell business. From its inception in 2002 through September 30, 2005, NS California had aggregate revenues of $25,500, and aggregate losses of $2,357,940.

RISKS RELATING TO THIS OFFERING

Our stock has had limited trading volume.

Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, an electronic, screen-based trading system operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Securities traded on the OTC Bulletin Board are, for the most part, thinly traded and generally are not subject to the level of regulation imposed on securities listed or traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on a national securities exchange. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of our common stock or to obtain accurate quotations as to its price. While our units, common stock and Class A warrants have been accepted for listing on the American Stock Exchange upon the consummation of this offering subject to certain conditions, we cannot assure you that our securities will have improved liquidity. We do not intend to effect an initial closing unless we satisfy all conditions in the acceptance letter to listing on the American Stock Exchange.

Our stock price could be volatile.

The price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and may be more volatile in the future. Factors such as the announcements of government regulation, new products or services introduced by us or by our competition, healthcare legislation, trends in health insurance, litigation, fluctuations in operating results, our success in commercializing our business and market conditions for healthcare stocks in general could have a significant impact on the future price of our common stock. The generally low volume of trading in our common stock makes it more vulnerable to rapid changes in price in response to market conditions.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the open market, or the availability of such shares for sale, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

We had 2,684,167 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 6, 2007. The following securities that may be exercised for, or are convertible into, shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding as of July 6, 2007:

·       Options. Stock options to purchase 581,600 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $6.80 per share.

·       Warrants. Warrants to purchase 1,354,653 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $7.60 per share.

As a result of this offering, if the maximum number of units are sold, there will be additional Class A warrants outstanding to purchase 635,000 shares of our common stock at a price of between $6.00 and $6.50 per share [the Common Stock Price plus $1.00], and Underwriter’s warrants to purchase 95,250 shares of our common stock at a price of between $6.50 and $7.15 per share [130% of the Common Stock Price].

7

Substantially all of the outstanding shares of our common stock, as well as substantially all the shares of our common stock that may be issued under our outstanding options and warrants, are or will be registered or otherwise not restricted from trading.

The Underwriter has limited experience as a managing underwriter, which may adversely affect the size of any trading market for our securities and adversely affect their price.

The Underwriter has limited experience serving as a managing underwriter. Since the Underwriter’s experience in underwriting a public offering is limited, there can be no assurance that the lack of experience will not adversely affect the trading market for our securities.

If we do not maintain an effective registration statement or comply with applicable state securities laws, you may not be able to exercise your Class A warrants.

For you to be able to exercise our Class A warrants, the shares of our common stock underlying these warrants must be covered by an effective and current registration statement and qualify or be exempt under the securities laws of the state or other jurisdiction in which you live. We cannot assure you that we will continue to maintain a current registration statement relating to the shares of our common stock underlying the Class A warrants or that an exemption from registration or qualification will be available throughout their term. This may have an adverse effect on demand for the Class A warrants and the prices that can be obtained from reselling them.

The Class A warrants may negatively affect our ability to raise additional capital.

During the terms of the Class A warrants, their holders are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market of our common stock. So long as the Class A warrants are outstanding, the terms on which we could obtain additional capital may be adversely affected. The holders of the Class A warrants might be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by the Class A warrants.

The Book Value of Shares purchased in this offering will be diluted.

Purchasers of units in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock from the public offering price, without ascribing any value to the Class A warrants included in the units. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2007, our net tangible book value (unaudited) was $1,360,583 or approximately $.51 per share of common stock then outstanding. As of March 31, 2007, our pro forma net tangible book value (unaudited), as adjusted for the sale of 1,270,000 units offered in this offering at $5.25 (the mid-point of the range) and application of the net proceeds of $5,857,425 (at the public offering price of $5.25 per unit (the mid-point of the range)) and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), would have been approximately $1.84 per share, without ascribing any value to the Class A warrants included in the units. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.33 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution of $3.41 per share or approximately 65% to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering.

The Class A warrants may be redeemed on short notice, which may have an adverse effect on their market value.

In the event the Company’s common stock is trading at a price equal to or exceeding $8.00 - $8.50 [the Common Stock Price plus $3.00] (the “Redemption Threshold”), the Company has the option to call all or any part of the Class A warrants and if the holders of the Class A warrants have not exercised the Class A warrants within 30 days of the written notice to call, the Company may redeem the Class A warrants at

8

$.001 per warrant. If we give a call notice, holders of our Class A warrants will be forced to sell or exercise the warrants they hold or accept the redemption price. The call notice could come at a time when, under specific circumstances or generally, it is not advisable or possible for holders of our warrants to sell or exercise the warrants they hold.

There is no minimum number of units which we are required to sell before we accept subscriptions, subject to satisfying Amex listing conditions.

There is no minimum number of units which must be sold in this offering, except that to satisfy the listing requirements of the American Stock Exchange we cannot effect an initial closing unless our stockholders equity immediately after such closing would be greater than $4 million. As we estimate that our stockholders equity at June 30, 2007 will be less than $300,000, we anticipate that we will have to sell at least 900,000 units (if sold at the minimum price of $5.00 per unit) to satisfy applicable listing requirements. We will not consummate the initial closing unless we are concurrently listed on the American Stock Exchange. If we do not sell all of the units offered at the initial closing or otherwise, we will not have sufficient proceeds to accomplish all of the goals set forth under “Use of Proceeds.”

Our board of directors approved a reverse stock split which will be effectuated concurrently with the initial closing.

In April 2007, our board of directors voted to approve a future reverse stock split to be effected in their discretion at a ratio in the range of 3:1 – 10:1 if it was necessary in order to have our securities listed on a stock exchange, which was approved by our shareholders in June 2007. In July 2007, our board voted to effectuate a one-for-ten reverse stock split to meet the minimum share price required for listing on the American Stock Exchange. Such reverse split will be effective upon the initial closing of this offering (and all numbers in this prospectus have been adjusted as if the reverse split were already effective). When the reverse stock split is effected, there is no guarantee that our stock price will recover to its pro-rata pre-split price, which would result in a reduction in value of your investment.

RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

If the potential of stem cell therapy to treat serious disease is not realized, the value of our stem cell collection, processing and storage and our development programs could be significantly reduced.

The potential of stem cell therapy to treat serious disease is currently being explored. Stem cell therapy is not a commonly used procedure and it has not been proven in clinical trials that stem cell therapy will be an effective treatment for diseases other than those currently addressed by hematopoietic stem cell transplants. No stem cell products have been successfully developed and commercialized to date, and none have received regulatory approval in the United States or internationally. Stem cell therapy may be susceptible to various risks, including undesirable and unintended side effects, unintended immune system responses, inadequate therapeutic efficacy or other characteristics that may prevent or limit its approval or commercial use. The value of our stem cell collection, processing and storage and our development programs could be significantly reduced if the use of stem cell therapy to treat serious disease is not proven effective in the near future.

Because the stem cell industry is subject to rapid technological and therapeutic changes, our future success will materially depend on the viability of the commercial use of stem cells for the treatment of disease.

Our success materially depends on the development of therapeutic treatments and cures for disease using stem cells. The broader medical and research environment for such treatments and cures critically affects the utility of stem cells, the services we offer to the public, and our future success. The value of stem cells in the treatment of disease is subject to potentially revolutionary technological, medical and therapeutic changes. However, future technological and medical developments or improvements in conventional therapies could render the use of stem cells and our services and equipment obsolete and

9

unmarketable. As a result, there can be no assurance that our services will provide competitive advantages over other technologies. If technological or medical developments arise that materially alter the commercial viability of our technology or services, we may be forced to incur significant costs in replacing or modifying equipment in which we have already made a substantial investment prior to the end of its anticipated useful life. Alternatively, significant advances may be made in other treatment methods or in disease prevention techniques which could significantly reduce or entirely eliminate the need for the services we provide. The materialization of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, the results of operations or our ability to operate at all.

We may be forced to undertake lengthy and costly efforts to build market acceptance of our stem cell collection, processing and storage services, the success of which is critical to our profitability. There can be no assurance that these services will gain market acceptance.

We anticipate that service fees from the processing and storage of stem cells will comprise a substantial majority of our revenue in the future and, therefore, our future success depends on the successful and continued market acceptance of this service. Broad use and acceptance of our service requires marketing expenditures and education and awareness of consumers and medical practitioners who, under present law, must order stem cell collection on behalf of a potential customer. The time and expense required to educate and build awareness of our services and its potential benefits could significantly delay market acceptance and our ultimate profitability. The successful commercialization of our services will also require that we satisfactorily address the concerns of medical practitioners in order to avoid potential resistance to recommendations for our services and ultimately reach our potential consumers. No assurances can be given that our business plan and marketing efforts will be successful, that we will be able to commercialize our services, or that there will be market acceptance of our services or clinical acceptance of our services by physicians sufficient to generate any material revenues for us.

Ethical and other concerns surrounding the use of stem cell therapy may increase the regulation of or negatively impact the public perception of our stem cell services, thereby reducing demand for our services.

The use of embryonic stem cells for research and stem cell therapy has been the subject of debate regarding related ethical, legal and social issues. Although our business only utilizes adult stem cells and does not involve the more controversial use of embryonic stem cells, the use of other types of human stem cells for therapy could give rise to similar ethical, legal and social issues as those associated with embryonic stem cells. Additionally, it is possible that our business could be negatively impacted by any stigma associated with the use of embryonic stem cells if the public fails to appreciate the distinction between the use of adult versus embryonic stem cells. The commercial success of our business will depend in part on public acceptance of the use of stem cell therapy, in general, for the prevention or treatment of human diseases. Public attitudes may be influenced by claims that stem cell therapy is unsafe or unnecessary, and stem cell therapy may not gain the acceptance of the public or the medical community. Public pressure or adverse events in the field of stem cell therapy that may occur in the future also may result in greater governmental regulation of our business creating increased expenses and potential regulatory delays relating to the approval or licensing of any or all of the processes and facilities involved in our stem cell banking services. In the event that the use of stem cell therapy becomes the subject of adverse commentary or publicity, our business could be adversely affected and the market price for our common stock could be significantly harmed.

We operate in a highly regulated environment, and our failure to comply with applicable regulations, registrations and approvals would materially and adversely affect our business.

Historically, the FDA has not regulated banks that collect and store stem cells. More recent changes, however, require establishments engaged in the recovery, processing, storage, labeling, packaging or distribution of any Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps) or the

10

screening or testing of a cell tissue donor to register with the FDA. The registration requirement was effective as of January 2004. The FDA also adopted rules in May 2005 that regulate current Good Tissues Practices (cGTP). We may be or become subject to such registration requirements and regulations, and there can be no assurance that we will be able, or will have the resources, to comply. Future FDA regulations could also adversely impact or limit our ability to market or perform our services. In order to collect and store blood stem cells we must conduct (or arrange for the conduct of) a variety of laboratory tests which are regulated under the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). Any facility conducting regulated tests must obtain a CLIA certificate of compliance and submit to regular inspection.

Some states require additional regulation and oversight of clinical laboratories operating within their borders and some impose obligations on out-of-state laboratories providing services to their residents. The states in which we initially plan to engage in processing and storage activities all currently have licensing requirements with which we believe we will need to comply. Additionally, there may be state regulations impacting the storage and use of blood products that would impact our business. We obtained our biologics license from the State of California in May 2006. In April 2007, the Company received two provisional licenses from the State of New York. The first license permits the Company’s California facility to collect, process and store hematopoietic progenitor cells (“HPCs”) collected from New York residents. The second license permits solicitation in New York relating to the collection of HPCs. Each license is subject to certain limitations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary licenses required to conduct our business in other states, or maintain licenses that we do obtain in such states, including California and New York. If we identify other states with licensing requirements or if other states adopt such other requirements, or if we plan to conduct business in a new state with such licensing requirements, we would also have to obtain such licenses and/or comply with such other requirements. We may also be subject to state and federal privacy laws related to the protection of our customers’ personal health information to which we would have access through the provision of our services. We may be required to spend substantial amounts of time and money to comply with any regulations and licensing requirements, as well as any future legislative and regulatory initiatives. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements or delay in compliance may result in, among other things, injunctions, operating restrictions, and civil fines and criminal prosecution which would have a material adverse effect on the marketing and sales of our services and impair our ability to operate profitably or preclude our ability to operate at all in the future.

Our business was not contemplated by many existing laws and regulations.

The service that we provide is unique. It is not medical treatment, although it involves medical procedures, and it is not research, although research participation is part of our business plan. Our business was not contemplated by many of the regulations in the field in which we operate and as a result, there is often considerable uncertainty when we are analyzing the applicability of regulatory requirements. We have devoted significant resources to ensuring compliance with those laws that we believe to be applicable and when applicability of a law is in doubt, we have opted to comply in order to minimize risk. It is possible, however, that regulators may disagree with some of our interpretations of the law prompting additional compliance requirements or even enforcement actions. Such enforcement may have a material adverse effect on our operations or may require re-structuring of our operations or impair our ability to operate profitably.

Our failure to comply with laws related to hazardous materials could materially harm us.

We are subject to state and federal laws regulating the proper disposal of biohazardous material. Although we believe we are currently in compliance with all such applicable laws, a violation of such laws, or the future enactment of more stringent laws or regulations, could subject us to liability for

11

noncompliance and may require us to incur costs and/or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our ability to do business.

Side effects of the stem cell collection process or a failure in the performance of our cryopreservation storage facility or systems could harm our business and reputation.

To the extent a customer experiences adverse side effects from the stem cell collection process, or our cryopreservation storage service is disrupted, discontinued or our ability to provide banked stem cells is impaired for any reason, our business and operations could be adversely affected. Any equipment failure that causes a material interruption or discontinuance in our cryopreservation storage of stem cell specimens could result in stored specimens being damaged and unable to be utilized. Adverse side effects of the collection process or specimen damage (including contamination or loss in transit to us), could result in litigation against us and reduced future revenue, as well as harm to our reputation. Our insurance may not adequately compensate us for any losses that may occur due to any such adverse side effects or failures in our system or interruptions in our ability to maintain proper, continued, cryopreservation storage services. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, equipment failure, break-ins, tornadoes and similar events for which we do not have redundant systems or a formal disaster recovery plan and may not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur. Any claim of adverse side effects or material disruption in our ability to maintain continued uninterrupted storage systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We are dependent on existing relationships with third parties to conduct our business.

Our process of collecting stem cells involves the injection of a “mobilizing agent” which causes the stem cells to leave the bone marrow and enter into the blood stream. The injection of this mobilizing agent is an integral part of the collection process. There is currently only one supplier of this mobilizing agent, and we are currently dependent upon our relationship with such supplier to maintain an adequate supply. Although we continue to explore alternative methods of stem cell collection, there can be no assurance that any such methods will prove to be successful. In the event that our supplier is unable or unwilling to continue to supply a mobilizing agent to us on commercially reasonable terms, and we are unable to identify alternative methods or find substitute suppliers on commercially reasonable terms, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our business. We are also currently using only one outside “apheresis” provider that also is expected to be the aspheresis provider to certain of our collection centers being operated by third parties. “Apheresis” is the process through which stem cells are extracted from a patient’s whole blood and it is an integral part of our collection process. Although other third parties could provide apheresis services, any disruption in the relationship with this service would cause a delay in the delivery of our services. In order to successfully commercialize our business, we will continue to depend upon our relationship with such companies.

Our success will depend in part on establishing and maintaining effective strategic partnerships and collaborations.

A key aspect of our business strategy is to establish strategic relationships in order to gain access to critical supplies, to expand or complement our development or commercialization capabilities, or to reduce the cost of developing or commercializing services on our own. There can be no assurance that we will enter into such relationships or that the arrangements will be on favorable terms. Relationships with licensed professionals such as physicians may be subject to state and federal laws including fraud and abuse regulations restricting the referral of business, prohibiting certain payments to physicians, or otherwise limiting our options for structuring a relationship. If our services become reimbursable by government or private insurers in the future, we could be subject to additional regulation and perhaps additional limitations on our ability to structure relationships with physicians. Additionally, state regulators may

12

impose restrictions on the types of business relationships into which licensed physicians or other licensed professionals may enter. Failure to comply with applicable fraud and abuse regulations or other regulatory requirements could result in civil fines, criminal prosecution or other sanctions. Even if we do enter into these arrangements, we may not be able to maintain these relationships or establish new ones in the future on acceptable terms. Furthermore, these arrangements may require us to grant certain rights to third parties, including exclusive rights or may have other terms that are burdensome to us. If any of our partners terminate their relationship with us or fail to perform their obligations in a timely manner, the development or commercialization of our services may be substantially delayed. If we fail to structure our relationships with physicians in accordance with applicable fraud and abuse laws or other regulatory requirements it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are dependent upon our management, scientific and medical personnel and we may face difficulties in attracting qualified employees or managing the growth of our business.

Our future performance and success are dependent upon the efforts and abilities of our management, medical and scientific personnel. Furthermore, our future growth will require hiring a significant number of qualified technical, medical, scientific, commercial, business and administrative personnel. Accordingly, recruiting and retaining such personnel in the future will be critical to our success. If we are not able to continue to attract and retain, on acceptable terms, the qualified personnel necessary for the continued development of our business, we may not be able to sustain our operations or achieve our business objectives. Our failure to manage growth effectively could limit our ability to achieve our commercialization and other goals relating to, and we may fail in developing, our new business.

RISKS RELATING TO COMPETITION

The stem cell preservation market has and continues to become increasingly competitive.

We may face competition from companies with far greater financial, marketing, technical and research resources, name recognition, distribution channels and market presence than us, who are marketing or developing new services that are similar to the services that are now being or may in the future be developed by us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully.

For example, in the established market for cord blood stem cell banking, the growth in the number of families banking their newborn’s cord blood stem cells has been accompanied by an increasing landscape of competitors. Our business, which has been more recently developed, already faces competition from other established operators of stem cell preservation businesses and providers of stem cell storage services. We believe that certain of our competitors have established stem cell banking services to process and store stem cells collected from adipose tissue (fat tissue). This type of stem cell banking will require partnering with cosmetic surgeons who perform liposuction procedures. In addition, we believe the use of adult stem cells from adipose tissue will require extensive clinical trials to prove the safety and efficacy of such cells and the enzymatic process required to extract adult stem cells from fat. From a technology perspective this ability to expand a small number of stem cells could present a competitive alternative to stem cell banking. The ability to create a therapeutic quantity of stem cells from a small number of cells is essential to using embryonic stem cells and would be desirable to treat patients who can only supply a small number of their own stem cells. There are many biotechnology laboratories attempting to develop stem cell expansion technology, but to date, stem cell expansion techniques are very inefficient and typically the target cells stop dividing naturally, keeping the yield low. However, stem cell expansion could also complement adult stem cell banking by allowing individuals to extend the banking of an initial collection of cells for many applications.

In the event that we are not able to compete successfully with our current or potential competitors, it may be difficult for us to grow our revenue and maintain our existing business without incurring significant

13

additional expenses to try and refine our technology, services or approach to our business to better compete, and even then there would be no guarantee of success.

We may face competition in the future from established cord blood banks and some hospitals.

Cord blood banks such as ViaCord (a division of ViaCell International) or Cryo-Cell International may be drawn to the field of stem cell collection because their processing labs and storage facilities can be used for processing adult stem cells from peripheral blood and their customer lists may provide them with an easy access to the market. We estimate that there are approximately 43 cord blood banks in the United States, approximately 25 of which are autologous (donor and recipient are the same) and approximately 18 of which are allogeneic (donor and recipient are not the same). Hospitals that have transplant centers to serve cancer patients may elect to provide some or all of the services that we provide. We estimate that there are approximately 123 hospitals in the United States with stem cell transplant centers. All of these competitors may have access to greater financial resources. In addition, other established companies with greater access to financial resources may enter our markets and compete with us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully.

RISKS RELATING TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

There is significant uncertainty about the validity and permissible scope of patents in the biotechnological industry. We may not be able to obtain patent protection.

There can be no assurance that the patent applications to which we hold rights will result in the issuance of patents, or that any patents issued or licensed to our company will not be challenged and held to be invalid or of a scope of coverage that is different from what we believe the patent’s scope to be. Further, there can be no assurance that any future patents related to these technologies will ultimately provide adequate patent coverage for or protection of our present or future technologies, products or processes. Our success will depend, in part, on whether we can obtain patents to protect our own technologies; obtain licenses to use the technologies of third parties if necessary, which may be protected by patents; protect our trade secrets and know-how; and operate without infringing the intellectual property and proprietary rights of others.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property from infringement by third parties.

Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our intellectual property or may develop intellectual property competitive to ours. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our processes or services or design around our intellectual property rights. As a result, we may have to litigate to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights to determine their scope, validity or enforceability. 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. The loss of intellectual property protection or the inability to secure or enforce intellectual property protection would limit our ability to develop and/or market our services in the future. This would also likely have an adverse affect on the revenues generated by any sale or license of such intellectual property. Furthermore, any public announcements related to such litigation or regulatory proceedings could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Third parties may claim that we infringe on their intellectual property.

We also may be subject to costly litigation in the event our technology infringes upon another party’s proprietary rights. Third parties may have, or may eventually be issued, patents that would be infringed by our technology. Any of these third parties could make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our technology. We may also be subject to claims by third parties for breach of copyright, trademark or license usage rights. An adverse determination in any litigation of this type could require us to design

14

around a third party’s patent, license alternative technology from another party or otherwise result in limitations in our ability to use the intellectual property subject to such claims. Litigation and patent interference proceedings could result in substantial expense to us and significant diversion of efforts by our technical and management personnel. An adverse determination in any such interference proceedings or in patent litigation to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties or, as noted above, require us to seek licenses from third parties. If required, the necessary licenses may not be available on acceptable financial or other terms or at all. Adverse determinations in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us, in whole or in part, from commercializing our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, regarding our financial position, potential, business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations are “forward looking statements.” These statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms and phrases as “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “seeks” and “believes.” Additionally, statements concerning our ability to develop the adult stem cell business, the future of regenerative medicine and the role of adult stem cells in that future, the future use of adult stem cells as a treatment option and the potential revenue growth of such business are forward-looking statements. Our ability to enter the adult stem cell arena and future operating results are dependent upon many factors, including but not limited to: (i) our ability to obtain sufficient capital or a strategic business arrangement to fund our expansion plans; (ii) our ability to build the management and human resources and infrastructure necessary to support the growth of our business; (iii) competitive factors and developments beyond our control; (iv) scientific and medical developments beyond our control; (v) our inability to obtain appropriate state licenses or any other adverse effect or limitations caused by government regulation of the business; and (vi) other risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” contained herein. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. You should read carefully the description of our plans and objectives for future operations, assumptions underlying these plans and objectives and other forward-looking statements included in “Prospectus Summary,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” in this prospectus, but should not place undue reliance on these statements of expectations about our future performance. These descriptions and statements are based on management’s current expectations. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus.

When we indicate that an event, condition or circumstance could or would have an adverse effect on us, we mean to include effects upon our business, financial and other condition, results of operations, prospects and ability to service our debt.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds, if we sell all 1,270,000 units that we are offering, will be approximately $5,857,425 based on a public offering price of $5.25 per unit (the mid-point of the range) and after deducting $810,075, reflecting the estimated underwriting discount of $466,725, $133,350, reflecting the 2% non-accountable expense allowance and other expenses of $210,000 payable by us. We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows:

*                    There is no minimum number of units which must be subscribed for before we may accept subscriptions. However, we will not effect an initial closing unless our stockholders equity immediately after such closing would be greater than $4 million, so as to satisfy the listing requirements of the American Stock Exchange. We anticipate that we will have to sell approximately 900,000 units at the minimum price of the range to satisfy applicable listing requirements.

In order to fund certain Company cash requirements, members of the Company’s management have agreed to defer salary prior to the closing of the offering. The Company’s Board has also authorized the Company to issue bridge notes not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. Should the notes be issued, they will bear interest at an annual rate of 15% and mature in six months; provided that the notes may be payable earlier from the proceeds of the offering in the Company’s discretion. Such bridge notes may be issued to officers and directors of the Company.

The above amounts are our current estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds. Because the future of our business is difficult to predict, it is likely that the actual amounts used for these purposes may vary significantly from our current estimates. Also, we may use offering proceeds for purposes not listed above in response to cash requirements or business opportunities that we do not now anticipate. Any such use could reduce proceeds available for the uses described above.

We anticipate that our existing cash and the net proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for at least one year following this offering, depending primarily on our sales levels. We cannot assure you, however, that such funds will not be expended earlier due to unanticipated changes in economic conditions or other circumstances that we cannot foresee. In the event our plans change or our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, we could be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated.

Until we use the net proceeds of this offering in our business, we intend to invest the funds in short-term, government or investment grade, interest-bearing securities. We cannot predict whether the proceeds invested will yield a favorable return.

GENERAL

The Company engages in the business of operating a commercial autologous (donor and recipient are the same) adult stem cell bank and the pre-disease collection, processing and long-term storage of adult stem cells that donors can access for their own present and future medical treatment. On January 19, 2006 the Company consummated the acquisition of the assets of NS California relating to its business of processing, collecting and storing adult stem cells. Effective with the acquisition, the business of NS California became the principal business of the Company, rather than its historic business of providing capital and business guidance to companies in the healthcare and life science industries. The Company now provides adult stem cell processing, collection and banking services with the goal of making stem cell collection and long-term storage widely available, so that the general population will have the opportunity to store their own stem cells for current and future healthcare needs. Effective as of August 29, 2006, the Company changed its name from “Phase III Medical, Inc.” to “NeoStem, Inc.” in order to better describe its new business.

The Company is developing NS California’s business in the adult stem cell field and seeking to capitalize on the increasing importance the Company believes adult stem cells will play in the future of regenerative medicine. Using its proprietary process, the Company provides the infrastructure, methods and systems that allow adults to have their stem cells safely collected and conveniently banked for future therapeutic use as needed in the treatment of certain life-threatening diseases. The adult stem cell industry is a field independent of embryonic stem cell research which the Company believes is more likely to be burdened by governmental, legal, ethical and technical issues than adult stem cell research. Medical researchers, scientists, medical institutions, physicians, pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies are currently developing therapies for the treatment of disease using adult stem cells. As these adult stem cell therapies obtain necessary regulatory approvals and become standard of care, patients will need a service to collect, process and bank their stem cells. The Company intends to provide this service.

Until the NS California acquisition, the business of the Company was providing capital and business guidance to companies in the healthcare and life science industries, in return for a percentage of revenues, royalty fees, licensing fees and other product sales of the target companies. Additionally, through June 30, 2002, the Company was a provider of extended warranties and service contracts via the Internet at warrantysuperstore.com. The Company is still engaged in the “run-off” of such extended warranties and service contracts and this “run-off” ended in March 2007. In June 2002, management determined, in light of continuing operating losses, to discontinue its warranty and service contract business and to seek new business opportunities for the Company.

On December 12, 2003, the Company signed a royalty agreement with Parallel Solutions, Inc. (“PSI”) to develop a new bioshielding platform technology for the delivery of therapeutic proteins and small molecule drugs in order to extend circulating half-life to improve bioavailability and dosing regimen, while maintaining or improving pharmacologic activity. The agreement provided for PSI to pay the Company a percentage of the revenue received for the sale of certain specified products or licensing activity. The

20

Company provided capital and guidance to PSI to conduct a Proof of Concept Study relating thereto. As a result of the Proof of Concept Study, PSI advised the Company that it had no definitive plans to move forward with the program. Since the inception of the PSI agreement, the Company paid a total of $720,000 to PSI and paid $85,324 of expenses. No payments have been made to PSI since 2004 and the Company does not anticipate any further activity pursuant to the PSI agreement.

The Company engaged in various capital raising activities to pursue its new business opportunities, raising approximately $1,289,000 in 2004, $1,325,000 in 2005, $3,573,000 in 2006 and $2,500,000 in 2007 (through July 6, 2007) through the sale of its common stock, warrants and convertible promissory notes. These amounts include an aggregate of $2,079,000 raised from the June 2006 private placement of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “June 2006 private placement”) and an aggregate of $1,750,000 raised from the additional private placement of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock in rolling closings in the summer of 2006 (the “Summer 2006 private placement”). These amounts also include an aggregate of $2,500,000 (net proceeds of $2,301,000) raised in January and February 2007 from the private placement of units consisting of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “January 2007 private placement”). In connection with the June 2006 private placement, the Company appointed Dr. Robin L. Smith as our new Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors. These capital raising activities enabled us previously to pursue the Company’s prior business, and subsequently to acquire the business of NS California, pursue our business plan and grow our adult stem cell collection and storage business, including expanding marketing and sales activities.

In order to fund certain Company cash requirements, members of the Company’s management have agreed to defer salary prior to the closing of this offering. The Company’s Board has also authorized the Company to issue bridge notes not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. Should the notes be issued, they will bear interest at an annual rate of 15% and mature in six months; provided that the notes may be payable earlier from the proceeds of this offering in the Company’s discretion. Such bridge notes may be issued to officers and directors of the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s “Critical Accounting Policies” are as follows, and are also described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Revenue Recognition:   In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company initiated the collection and banking of autologous adult stem cells and the first collection center in its physician’s network opened. The Company recognizes revenue related to the collection and cryopreservation of autologous adult stem cells when the cryopreservation process is completed (generally twenty four hours after cells have been collected). Revenue related to advance payments of storage fees is recognized ratably over the period covered by the advance payments. Start up fees that are received from physicians that seek to open collection centers (in consideration of the Company establishing a service territory for the physician) are recognized after agreements are signed and the physician has been qualified by the Company’s credentialling committee.

The Company recognizes warranty and service contract reinsurance premiums ratably over the length of the contracts executed. The insurance premium expense and other costs related to the sale are amortized ratably over the life of the contracts. The deferred policy acquisition costs are the net cost of acquiring new and renewal insurance contracts. These costs are charged to expense in proportion to net premium revenue recognized. The provisions for losses and loss-adjustment expenses include an amount determined from loss reports on individual cases and an amount based on past experience for losses incurred but not reported. Such liabilities are necessarily based on estimates, and while management believes that the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amounts

21

provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed, and any adjustments are reflected in earnings currently. The Company purchased insurance to fully cover any losses under the service contracts from a domestic carrier.

Income Taxes and Valuation Reserves:   We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate as part of preparing our financial statements. This involves estimating the actual current tax in addition to assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatments for tax and financial accounting purposes. These differences, together with net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits, are recorded as deferred tax assets or liabilities on our balance sheet. A judgment must then be made of the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. A valuation allowance may be required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event we determine that we may not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax asset in the future, or that new estimates indicate that a previously recorded valuation allowance is no longer required, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is charged or credited to net income in the period of such determination.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006

The Company’s initial sales strategy is to develop a nationwide network of adult stem cell collection centers and medical providers, enabling health conscious consumers to donate and store their own stem cells with NeoStem for personal use years or decades later in times of critical medical need. Medical providers that are interested in participating in providing this service to patients in their local area are required to pay a start up fee in consideration for exclusivity in that service area. Sales and marketing efforts to create this network started in the fourth quarter of 2006 and continued in the quarter ending March 31, 2007. To that end the Company recognized revenue of $54,000 from the receipt of start up fees in the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

The Company also recognized revenues from the sale of extended warranties and service contracts of $1,697 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $6,262 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. These revenues were derived entirely from revenues deferred over the life of extended warranties and service contracts sold in prior periods. As of March 31, 2007 the recognition of revenue from the sale of extended warranties and service contracts was completed. Direct costs related to these sales were $1,253 and $4,467 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Selling, general and administration expenses increased approximately $933,900 to $1,873,097 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $939,234 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Since the acquisition of NS California in January, 2006 the Company’s expenses have been increasing as the Company initiated sales and marketing efforts to promote the collection and banking of adult stems cells. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increases in marketing efforts through the hiring of staff, preparation of marketing materials, attending key marketing events and retaining the services of specialized marketing consulting firms. To that end payroll and related expenses increased $240,121, marketing expenses increased $62,254, consulting fees increased $158,537, and the compensatory value of common stock options granted increased by $221,919. The Company issued 30,000 shares of its common stock, resulting in a charge to operating expenses of $165,000, to a financial advisor in connection with a commitment for the placement of up to $3,000,000 of the Company’s preferred stock. The Company applied for licensure for stem cell processing in New York which resulted in additional expenses of $25,000. Increases in expenses such as legal expense, accounting fees, investor relations, stock transfer fees, rent, and director fees (in the form of restricted stock grants) were offset by decreases in settlement expenses with the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer, investment banking fees, and laboratory operations which resulted in a net increase in operating expenses of $61,031.

22

Interest expense decreased by approximately $182,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is due to the conversion or payoff of the convertible debt issued in December 2005 and January 2006 pursuant to the WestPark Capital, Inc. private placement which resulted in a $183,600 reduction in interest expense. This decrease was offset by a small increase in interest related to financing insurance policies. The conversion of Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock eliminated the obligation to accrue dividends in 2006 and therefore no interest expense related to this dividend obligation was incurred in the quarter ending March 31, 2007.

For the reasons cited above the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased to $1,816,336 from $1,139,444 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Years Ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005

For the year ended December 31, 2006, total revenues were $45,724 compared to $35,262 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The revenues generated in the year ended December 31, 2006 were derived from a combination of fees received in prior years from the sale of extended warranties and service contracts via the Internet, which were deferred and recognized over the life of such contracts, and revenues from the collection of autologous adult stem cells and fees collected from physicians in the Company’s physician’s network to set up stem cell collection facilities. The revenues generated in the year ended December 31, 2005 were derived entirely from fees received in prior years from the sale of extended warranties and service contracts. The Company recognized revenues from the sale of extended warranties and service contracts via the Internet of $25,048 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $35,262 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Warranty revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 is not keeping pace with warranty revenue recognized in the year ended December 31, 2005 and is in fact declining. Warranty revenue will continue to decline as policy periods expire since the Company is no longer selling extended warranty contracts. It is expected that the recognition of warranty revenue will end in 2007. Similarly, direct costs incurred in connection with the extended warranty contracts were $17,868 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $24,776 for the year ended December 31, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company earned $20,676 in fees for the collection of autologous adult stem cells and start-up fees in connection with a physician in the Company’s physician’s network that opened a stem cell collection center.

Selling, general and administration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 has increased by $3,103,170 or 193% over the year ended December 31, 2005. In 2006, the Company changed its primary business model and is now engaged in the collection, processing and banking of adult stem cells. In addition, in 2006, the Company began recognizing the compensatory value of employee stock options which has had a dramatic increase in our operating expenses. As the result of entering into the business of adult stem cell collection, processing and storage, the Company has increased its staffing levels and payroll expense which increased by $406,373 over the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, the compensatory element of stock options and restricted stock grants issued to staff members and common stock issued to Robin L. Smith, MD, upon being appointed Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, increased operating expenses by $833,466. The new business of the Company has resulted in new expenses such as marketing and trade show expenses of $114,908, product liability insurance of $95,926, laboratory expense of $56,048 and website development of $49,901. As the result of the new business, legal fees, including those related to expanding the Company’s patent portfolio and pursuing strategic alliances, increased $496,529, consulting fees increased $112,699, travel and entertainment expense increased $137,642 and rent increased $95,548, over the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, the settlement with Robert Aholt increased expenses for 2006 by $250,000. The Company expanded its Board of Directors with two independent directors and implemented a compensation arrangement for non-employee directors. In connection with this arrangement restricted stock was granted to two directors that

23

resulted in $163,334 of expense for the fair value of common stock that vested. The various stock registration filings and increased trading levels of the Company’s common stock increased costs in auditing fees, stock transfer fees and investment banking fees, which resulted in an overall increase of $148,100 over the year ended December 31, 2005.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,370,656 as compared to $96,580 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $1,274,076. This increase was primarily as a result of the issuance and early conversion of convertible promissory notes issued in the WestPark private placement (through which the Company raised $500,000 through the sale of convertible promissory notes and warrants in December 2005 and January 2006 and in which WestPark Capital, Inc. acted as placement agent). Substantially all of this debt was converted to common stock. The increase in interest expense includes increases resulting from amortization of debt discount associated with the convertible notes of $212,500, interest payments of $30,625 and the fair value of common stock purchase warrants issued to these debtholders of $227,100. In an effort to improve the Company’s financial position, the Company had approached these convertible debtholders with proposals to either extend the term of their promissory notes or convert their promissory notes to common stock of the Company earlier than the original terms called for. Incentives included, among other things, the issuance of shares of common stock and additional warrants to purchase shares of common stock, reduced conversion prices for the notes and reduced exercise prices for the warrants. As a result, holders of $162,500 in principal amount of promissory notes agreed to extend the due dates of their respective notes for four months, and the Company converted $425,000 in principal amount of promissory notes to common stock (including $137,500 of the $162,500 in principal amount for which the due date was originally extended for four months prior to conversion). The impact of these conversions and extension of due dates was to increase interest expense by $871,813 due to the cost of additional common shares and warrants to purchase common stock granted to accomplish such conversions and extended due dates. However, these increased costs are non-cash related and the company will realize a reduction in its cash interest payments and cash required to pay back such promissory notes.

Years Ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004

The Company recognized revenues from the sale of extended warranties and service contracts via the Internet of $35,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $49,000 in the year ended December 31, 2004. The revenues generated in the year were derived entirely from revenues deferred over the life of the contracts sold in prior years. Similarly, direct costs incurred were $25,000 and $34,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which relate to costs previously deferred over the life of such contracts.

General and administrative expenses totaled $1,611,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $764,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $847,000 or 111%. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and related expenses ($495,000), consultants ($50,000), legal and accounting ($196,000), investment banking fees ($61,000) and investor relations ($19,000).

In accordance with the PSI agreement, the Company paid PSI $0 in the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $725,000 in the year ended December 31, 2004.

Interest expense decreased in fiscal 2005 to $144,000 from $274,000 in the year ended December 31, 2004 due to the lower level of debt and certain loans from officers and directors at an interest rate of 8% compared with much higher rates from non-affiliated noteholders in the previous year.

For the reasons cited above, the net loss decreased to $1,745,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005 from the comparable loss of $1,748,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006

The following chart represents the net funds provided by or used in operating, financing and investment activities for each period indicated:

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,816,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Such loss adjusted for non-cash charges consisting of common stock, options and warrants issued for services totaling $567,335 and amortization and depreciation of $9,691 resulted in cash used in operations totaling $1,700,294 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This use of cash included additions to prepaid expenses and other current assets of $57,700, accounts receivable of $38,883 and reductions in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $363,759.

To meet its cash requirements for the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company relied primarily on the sale of shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $2,317,478. In addition, the Company incurred new debt totaling $138,232 to finance certain insurance policies for the company offset by debt payments totaling $115,972 to pay off the outstanding WestPark convertible debt of $75,000 and payments of $40,972 for new debt incurred to finance insurance policies.

Years Ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005

The following chart represents the net funds provided by or used in operating, financing and investment activities for each period indicated:

The Company incurred a net loss of $6,051,400 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Such loss adjusted for non-cash items, including common stock, option and warrant issuances which were related to services rendered and interest of $2,280,779, amortization and depreciation of $240,123 and interest related to the Series A Preferred of $9,935 which was offset by cash settlements of various accounts payable, notes payable and accrued liabilities of $30,509, resulted in cash used in operations totaling $3,638,831 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This use of cash for operations also included additions to prepaid expenses, accounts receivable and other current assets of $81,300. Accordingly, the large difference between operating loss and cash used in operations was the result of a number of non-cash expenses charged to results of operations.

To meet its cash requirements for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company relied on proceeds from the sale of $250,000 of convertible notes, and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $3,573,068 from the June 2006 private placement and the Summer 2006 private placement (as described below).

In an effort to improve the financial position of the Company, in July 2006 the WestPark convertible debtholders were offered the option of (A) extending the term of the convertible note for an additional

25

four months from the maturity date in consideration for which (i) the Company would issue to the investor for each $25,000 in principal amount of the convertible note 568 shares of unregistered common stock; and (ii) the exercise price per warrant would be reduced from $12.00 to $8.00, or (B) converting the convertible note into shares of the Company’s common stock in consideration for which (i) the conversion price per conversion share would be reduced to $4.40; (ii) the Company would issue to the investor for each $25,000 in principal amount of the note, 1,136 shares of common stock; (iii) the exercise price per warrant would be reduced from $12.00 to $8.00; and (iv) a new warrant would be issued substantially on the same terms as the original warrant to purchase an additional 4,167 shares of common stock for each $25,000 in principal amount of the convertible note at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. Pursuant to this, the investor was also asked to waive any and all penalties and liquidated damages accumulated as of the date of the agreement. This offer was terminated on August 31, 2006. As of that date, investors holding $237,500 in principal amount of the total $500,000 of convertible promissory notes had agreed to convert their respective convertible notes into shares of the Company’s common stock for the consideration described above and investors holding $162,500 in principal amount of the total $500,000 of convertible promissory notes had agreed to extend the term of the convertible note for an additional four months from the maturity date for the consideration described above.

In September 2006, a new offer was extended to the remaining WestPark convertible debtholders to convert the convertible note into shares of the Company’s common stock, in consideration for which (i) the conversion price per conversion share would be reduced to $4.40; (ii) the exercise price per warrant would be reduced from $12.00 to $8.00; and (iii) a new warrant would be issued substantially on the same terms as the original warrant to purchase an additional 4,167 shares of common stock for each $25,000 in principal amount of the convertible note at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. This offer resulted in the conversion of $125,000 in principal amount of the total $500,000 of convertible promissory notes to common stock. In October 2006, WestPark convertible debtholders owning an additional $62,500 in convertible promissory notes also agreed to early conversion on the terms of the September 2006 offer. As of December 31, 2006 there were only $75,000 in principal amount of the WestPark convertible promissory notes outstanding, which were due and paid in January 2007.

In May 2006, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Duncan Capital Group LLC (“Duncan”). Pursuant to the advisory agreement, Duncan is providing to the Company on a non-exclusive “best efforts” basis, services as a financial consultant in connection with any equity or debt financing, merger, acquisition as well as with other financial matters. In return for these services, the Company was paying to Duncan a monthly retainer fee of $7,500, 50% of which could be paid by the Company in shares of its common stock valued at fair market value and reimbursing it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in an amount not to exceed $12,000. (Effective February 1, 2007, the advisory agreement was extended through December 31, 2007, providing that the monthly fee be paid entirely in shares of common stock to vest at the rate of 1,364 shares per month). Pursuant to the advisory agreement, Duncan also agreed, subject to certain conditions, that it or an affiliate would act as lead investor in a proposed private placement of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock in an amount that was not less than $2,000,000 or greater than $3,000,000. If the financing closed, Duncan was to receive a fee of $200,000 in cash and 24,000 shares of restricted common stock.

On June 2, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued to each of 17 investors shares of its common stock, at a per-share price of $4.40, along with a five-year warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock at a per share purchase price of $8.00 equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock purchased by each investor (together with the common stock issued, the “June 2006 securities”). The gross proceeds from the sale were $2,079,000. Duncan received its fee as described above. The officers of the Company, as a condition of the initial closing under the securities purchase agreement, entered into letter agreements with the Company pursuant to which they converted an aggregate of $278,653 of accrued and unpaid salary that dated back to

26

2005 into shares of common stock at a per share price of $4.40. After adjustments for applicable payroll and withholding taxes which were paid by the Company, the Company issued to such officers an aggregate of 37,998 shares of common stock. The Company also adopted an Executive Officer Compensation Plan, effective as of the date of closing of the securities purchase agreement and pursuant to the letter agreements each officer agreed to be bound by the Executive Officer Compensation Plan. In addition to the conversion of accrued salary, the letter agreements provided for a reduction by 25% in base salary for each officer, the granting of options to purchase shares of common stock under the Company’s 2003 Equity Participation Plan which become exercisable upon the Company achieving certain revenue milestones and the acceleration of the vesting of certain options and restricted shares held by the officers.

In connection with the securities purchase agreement, on June 2, 2006 the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each of the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file no later than June 30, 2006 a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares of common stock issued to investors and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. The Company and the investors agreed to amend the registration rights agreement and extend the due date of the registration statement to August 31, 2006. In the event that the Registration Statement was not declared effective by the SEC within 180 days of the closing date of the securities purchase agreement, the Company was obligated to pay to each investor an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price of the June 2006 securities purchased by the investor, and to pay such amount for each month or partial month that the registration statement was not declared effective by the SEC. The registration statement was filed and subsequently declared effective on November 6, 2006.

In July and August 2006, the Company sold 397,727 shares of its common stock at $4.40 per share along with warrants to purchase 198,864 shares of its common stock at $8.00 per share (the “Summer 2006 Private Placement”), resulting in proceeds to the Company of $1,750,000. Additionally, in July and August, it issued 8,341 shares of its common stock as partial or complete payment of certain accounts payable and 7,567 shares of its common stock as partial payment of certain services rendered. In October 2006, the Company issued 3,400 shares of common stock in consideration of certain services rendered. In December 2006, the Company issued 1,042 shares of its common stock in consideration of certain services rendered.

The following table reflects a summary of the Company’s contractual cash obligations, including applicable interest, as of December 31, 2006:

Material changes to the contractual obligations above include (i) the payment in January 2007 of all the remaining outstanding convertible notes issued in the WestPark Private Placement (as described above in Liquidity and Capital Resources) and (ii) amendments to or replacements of employment agreements or arrangements with officers of the Company on January 26, 2007 providing for a 20% reduction in base salary and/or an agreement by the officer to extend their employment term, as well as certain additional or amended terms.

BUSINESS

NeoStem, Inc. (the “Company”) is in the business of operating a commercial autologous (donor and recipient are the same) adult stem cell bank and the pre-disease collection, processing and long-term storage of adult stem cells that donors can access for their own present and future medical treatment. On January 19, 2006 the Company consummated the acquisition of the assets of NS California, Inc., a California corporation (“NS California”) relating to NS California’s business of collecting and storing adult stem cells. Prior to the acquisition of NS California, the Company’s business had been providing capital and business guidance to companies in the healthcare and life science industries, including NS California. The Company now is providing adult stem cell processing, collection and banking services with the goal of making stem cell collection and storage widely available, so that the general population will have the opportunity to store their own stem cells for current and future healthcare needs. Using its proprietary process, the Company provides the infrastructure, methods and systems that allow adults to have their stem cells safely collected and conveniently banked for future therapeutic use as needed in the treatment of such life-threatening diseases as diabetes, heart disease and radiation sickness that may result from a bio-terrorist attack or nuclear accident. The Company also hopes to become the leading provider of adult stem cells for diagnostic and therapeutic use in the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are over 700 clinical trials underway relating to the use of adult stem cells, over 200 relating to autologous use, in the treatment of numerous serious diseases and conditions, including those that address cardiac disease, autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, peripheral vascular diseases and age related musculoskeletal disorders, as well as diabetes, cancer, neurological disease, and wound healing. See “Current Business Operations.”

We are structuring an aggressive direct to consumer marketing plan to drive awareness and target individuals who can afford our services. We also believe that those with economic constraints can now afford our services with the financing relationship we have established with GE Credit Care. We are planning to educate individuals that have a family history or early diagnosis of diseases being treated with stem cell therapy as well as those who have banked their infants stem cells that can afford this “bioinsurance.” Additionally we are working on establishing collaborations with high profile medical centers and academic institutions involved in cutting edge research and clinical trials to evaluate the use of stem cells for the treatment of various diseases. We believe that there is a significant need for our banking services for first responders and homeland security personnel. We are moving forward to educate those groups and find resources to protect those individuals who protect us. Our other go-to market strategies include collaboration with cord blood companies, tissue banks, pharmaceutical companies, concierge medical programs, executive health plans and regenerative medicine specialists.

The Company’s prior business was providing capital and business guidance to companies in the healthcare and life science industries, in return for a percentage of revenues, royalty fees, licensing fees and other product sales of the target companies. Additionally, through June 30, 2002, the Company was a provider of extended warranties and service contracts via the Internet at warrantysuperstore.com. The Company is still engaged in the “run off” of such extended warranties and service contracts, which is expected to end in 2007. For a discussion of the Company’s involvement in such other activities and Company history, see “—Former Business Operations.” In 2004, the Company launched its website www.phase3med.com and in 2006, it launched another website www.neostem.com to support the Company’s new business in adult stem cells. The Company’s information as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is available via a link on its websites as well as at www.sec.gov.

Current Business Operations

On January 19, 2006, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, consummated its acquisition of the assets of NS California relating to NS California’s business of collecting, processing and storing adult stem cells, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 6, 2005. The purchase price

30

consisted of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus the assumption of certain enumerated liabilities of NS California and liabilities under assumed contracts. The Company also entered into employment agreements with NS California’s chief executive officer and one of its founders as part of the transaction. NS California was incorporated in California in July 2002, and from its inception through the acquisition by the Company was engaged in the sale of adult stem cell banking services. In October 2003, NS California leased laboratory space in a research facility at Cedars Sinai Hospital in California and entered into an agreement with a third party to provide adult stem cell collection services. By December 2003, NS California had outfitted its laboratory with equipment for processing, cryopreservation and storage of adult stem cells. In May 2004, after a validation process and inspection and approval by the State of California, NS California received a biologics license and commenced commercial operations. In January 2005, NS California moved its adult stem cell processing and storage facility to Good Samaritan Hospital in California. NS California was compelled to cease operations because it did not have sufficient assets to complete the revalidation of the new laboratory and NS California’s biologics license was suspended. In October 2005, NS California restarted the validation of the laboratory at Good Samaritan Hospital, and on May 29, 2006 the Company was issued a new biologics license from the State of California. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, NS California was obligated to return to the Company (out of the 50,000 shares of common stock issued) 167 shares per day for each day after February 15, 2006 that such biologics license had not been issued up to a total of 10,000. NS California has returned 10,000 shares to the Company.

The Company is developing NS California’s business in the adult stem cell field and seeking to capitalize on the increasing importance the Company believes adult stem cells will play in the future of regenerative medicine. The use of adult stem cells as a treatment option for those who develop heart disease, certain types of cancer and other critical health problems is a burgeoning area of clinical research today. The adult stem cell industry is a field independent of embryonic stem cell research. The Company believes that embryonic stem cell therapies have certain barriers to development due to political, ethical, legal and technical issues. Medical researchers, scientists, medical institutions, physicians, pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies are currently developing therapies for the treatment of disease using adult stem cells. As these adult stem cell therapies obtain necessary regulatory approvals and become standard of care, patients will need a service to collect, process and bank their stem cells. The Company intends to provide this service.

Stem Cells

Stem cells are very primitive and undifferentiated cells that have the unique ability to transform into many different cells, such as white blood cells, nerve cells or heart muscle cells. Stem cells can be found in the bone marrow or peripheral blood of adults. Certain processes can cause the stem cells to leave the bone marrow and enter the blood where they can be collected. The Company currently only works with adult stem cells collected from peripheral blood through a safe, minimally invasive procedure called “apheresis.”

Plan of Operations

The Company is engaging in the business of autologous adult stem cell collection, processing and banking. The Company believes that as adult stem cell therapies obtain necessary regulatory approvals and become standard of care, individuals will need the infrastructure, methods and procedures being developed by the Company to have their stem cells safely collected and conveniently stored for future therapeutic use. The Company intends to generate revenues from the following:

·       initial collection of adult stem cells

·       storage of adult stem cells (generating recurring revenue)

·       utilization of adult stem cells (when stem cells are used)

31

It is developing a service model to create a source of stem cells that potentially enables physicians to treat a variety of diseases and engage in research to progress therapeutic development using adult stem cells. The Company anticipates fees being derived from Company-owned collection centers and collection centers operated by physicians and medical institutions with which it collaborates. It anticipates the opening of a flagship collection center in New York City, the establishment of which is anticipated to be partially funded from the proceeds of this offering. It also is seeking to obtain government grants and catalogue and store adult stem cells in a biorepository. As this biorepository grows, it is anticipated there will be revenues derived from relationships with pharmaceutical companies and other companies developing stem cell therapies who require access to cells. Additionally, the Company plans to expand its patent portfolio in the adult stem cell arena. The Company is currently processing and storing the adult stem cells collected with its processes at its California facility. As the Company grows, it may choose to add additional processing and storage capabilities in the northeastern United States or elsewhere, whether through the expansion of its own facilities and personnel or through the forging of a strategic relationship with an established provider of cell processing and storage services.

Marketing and Customers

The Company is embarking on a significant marketing, advertising and sales campaign individually and through collaborations with others for the purpose of educating physicians and potential clients on the benefits of adult stem cell collection and storage. The Company’s “Go-To-Market” strategy is to drive this general awareness. The essence of this strategy is to reach the end-customers as quickly as possible and to accelerate the adoption curve of our service. In addition, the Company plans to utilize marketing resources to increase the number of physicians who collaborate with us in the operation of collection centers.

The Company believes several consumer segments may recognize and experience the long-term benefits from banking their own stem cells. These include:

·       Individuals with a family history of serious diseases that show potential for treatment with stem cell therapies that are currently under research, e.g., diabetes, heart disease, or cancer

·       Wellness and regenerative medicine communities

·       Families who have already banked the umbilical cord blood from their newborns

·       Patients diagnosed with cancer, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes

·       High net worth and educated consumers

The Company is designing its marketing efforts to educate physicians on the benefits both of making stem cell collection and banking services available to their adult patients to the Company for stem cell banking and participating in our collection program.

The Company has appointed an experienced medical services marketing director, is utilizing the expertise of certain outside marketing consultants and is increasing its internal marketing staff in connection with the expansion of its marketing efforts and is increasing its marketing personnel.

Company Initiatives

The Company’s current initiatives include plans to:

·       Develop strategic initiatives with cord blood companies, tissue banks and pharmaceutical companies

·       Collaborate with academic institutions on licensing opportunities, build out of collection centers and provision of collection services for ongoing clinical trials

32

·       Develop partnerships with executive health programs, wellness physicians, concierge medical programs, medical spas and first responder groups

·       Expand the Company’s intellectual property portfolio within the stem cell arena

·       Expand its Government Programs Initiatives and in this regard has recently hired Arlene Graime as Director of Government Affairs and Special Projects, to spearhead efforts aimed at working with key federal and state agencies as well as congressional committees in order to raise awareness for the benefits of adult stem cell therapy as a treatment option.

·       Submit grant applications to National Institutes of Health and others to fund Company programs

·       Assist in developing The Stem for Life Foundation, an adult stem cell foundation formed to generate awareness of stem cell therapies

In April 2007, the Company participated in the founding of The Stem for Life Foundation (the “Foundation”). The Mission of the Foundation is to heighten public awareness and knowledge of the benefits and promise of Adult Stem Cells in treating serious medical conditions. The Foundation is committed to assisting those who protect us. First Responders (Fire, Police, Rescue and Military) are at high risk for exposure to radiation, burns, wounds, and other trauma. The Foundation will help provide resources, not just for those emergency workers, but also to other individuals who become chronically ill and will be in need of assistance to collect, process and store their own stem cells now for use in the future. The Foundation was formed under the Pennsylvania Not-for-Profit Corporation Law and is intended to qualify as a 501(c)(3) corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Certain members of the Company’s management are officers and/or sit on the Board of Trustees of the Foundation.

Intellectual Property

We are seeking patent protection for our technology. The Company acquired two U.S. patent applications which had been submitted by NS California and are pending. The first patent application is directed to the process by which we prepare and store stem cells derived from adult peripheral blood by apheresis following mobilization of the stem cells from the bone marrow. The second patent application is directed to, among other things, the use of stored stem cells to form the basis for medical information that may provide statistics on the etiology of disease, and the use of stem cells in the treatment of infectious diseases and breast cancer. In addition, the Company has filed a patent application directed to low dose, short course, cytokine induction of stem cell immobilization. There can be no assurance that any of these patent applications will issue as patents. The patent position of biotechnology companies generally is highly uncertain and involves complex legal, scientific and factual questions.

Industry and Geographical Segmental Information

As a result of the Company’s acquisition of substantially all the assets and operations of NS California on January 19, 2006, the Company now has operations in two segments. One segment is the collection, processing and banking of adult stem cells and the other segment remains the “run off” of its sale of extended warranties and service contracts via the Internet. This “run-off” of warranty and service contracts ended in March 2007. For further financial information regarding segments, please see the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The Company’s operations are conducted entirely in the United States.

Prior Relationship with NS California

On March 31, 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement to assist NS California in finding uses of and customers for NS California’s services and technology. The Company’s initial efforts concentrated on developing programs utilizing NS California’s services and technology through government agencies. That agreement was terminated as a result of the NS California acquisition. On September 9, 2005, the Company signed a revenue sharing agreement with NS California pursuant to which the Company had agreed to fund NS California certain amounts to pay pre-approved expenses and other amounts based on a formula relating to the Company’s ability to raise capital. Once funded, NS California would pay the Company monthly based on the revenue generated in the previous month with a minimum payment due each month. That agreement was terminated as a result of the NS California acquisition.

Recent Developments

On June 14, 2007, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio between one-for-three and one-for-ten shares in the event it was deemed necessary by the Company’s Board of Directors to be accepted onto a securities exchange. On July 9, 2007, the Board authorized the reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-ten shares in order to satisfy the listing requirements of the American Stock Exchange, to be effective concurrently with the initial closing of this offering.

In April 2007, the Company received two provisional licenses from the State of New York. The first license permits the Company’s California facility to collect, process and store hematopoietic progenitor cells (“HPCs”) collected from New York residents. The second license permits solicitation in New York relating to the collection of HPCs. Each license is subject to certain limitations stated therein.

In March 2007, the Company signed agreements to expand its physicians’ network into Las Vegas, Nevada and Eastern Pennsylvania. Agreements to open Adult Stem Cell Collection Centers were signed on terms substantially similar to the Company’s agreement for its Adult Stem Cell Collection Center in Encinitas, California (see below), which has already begun collecting patients’ stem cells.

Also in March 2007, the Company engaged Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc. (“Trilogy”) as a marketing and investor relations consultant. The agreement is for a 12 month period, terminable by either party after six months upon 30 days’ notice, at a monthly fee of $10,000 plus reimbursement of certain budgeted or approved marketing expenses. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued to Trilogy warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $4.70 per share. Such warrants vest over a 12 month period at a rate of 12,500 per month, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances, and are exercisable until April 30, 2010.

In January 2007, the Company entered into a strategic alliance with UTEK Corporation (“UTEK”), a specialty finance company focused on technology transfer, as part of its plan to move forward to expand its proprietary position in the adult stem cell collection and storage arena as well as the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine. The purpose of the agreement is to identify potential technology acquisition opportunities that fit the Company’s strategic vision. Through its strategic alliance agreements with companies in exchange for their equity securities, UTEK assists such companies in enhancing their new product pipeline by facilitating the identification and acquisition of innovative technologies from universities and research laboratories worldwide. UTEK is a business development company with operations in the United States, United Kingdom and Israel. In January 2007, the Company issued 12,000 shares of common stock to UTEK, vesting as to 1,000 shares per month commencing January 2007.

2007 Financing Activities

In January and February 2007, the Company raised an aggregate of $2,500,000 through the private placement of 250,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit to 35 accredited investors (the “January 2007 private placement”). Each unit was comprised of two shares of the Company’s common stock, one redeemable seven-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per share and one non-redeemable seven-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per share. The Company issued an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd (“EGE”), the placement agent for the January 2007 private placement, received a cash fee equal to $171,275 and was entitled to expense reimbursement not to exceed $50,000. The Company also issued to EGE redeemable seven-year warrants to purchase 34,355 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share, redeemable seven-year warrants to purchase 17,127 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per share and non-redeemable seven-year warrants to purchase 17,127 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the January 2007 private placement, the Company was obligated to prepare and file, no later than ten days after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares of common stock issued to the investors and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued to the investors and to EGE. Such registration statement was filed with the SEC on February 7, 2007. The January 2007 private placement was conditioned upon entry by the Company’s Board of Directors and executive officers into a lock-up agreement, pursuant to which such directors and officers will not, without the consent of EGE, sell or transfer their common stock until the earlier of: (a) six months following the effective date of the registration statement filed to register the shares underlying the units, or (b) twelve months following the sale of the units. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 25, 2007.

2006 Developments

On December 15, 2006, the Company entered into a five year agreement with HemaCare Corporation (“HemaCare”) pursuant to which HemaCare will provide the Company with collection services for the procurement of adult stem cells from peripheral blood for the purpose of long-term storage. HemaCare will provide services consisting of apheresis collection of adult stem cells from peripheral blood for long-term storage and for other purposes, such as research purposes, if requested by the Company. These services will be provided at either a HemaCare facility, a Company facility or a third party center affiliated with the Company, including members of the Company’s physician’s network, subject to the terms of HemaCare’s license and other regulatory requirements. HemaCare has operations on the West Coast and parts of the Northeast. Additionally, under the agreement HemaCare will provide to the Company standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) for the collection of peripheral blood progenitor cells to be used by the Company as its own SOPs and will keep these SOPs up to date. The Company may continue to use the SOPs for up to ten years following termination of the agreement, subject to continued payment by the Company of a maintenance fee. HemaCare will also provide the Company with assistance in staff training and opening other facilities, whether Company owned facilities or a third party center affiliated with the Company, including members of the Company’s physician’s network.

The provision of apheresis, services for the collection of adult stem cells from peripheral blood for long term storage, will be provided to the Company on an exclusive basis during the term of the agreement. The Company has also given to HemaCare the first right to negotiate an arrangement with the Company for the provision of other collection services should the Company choose to expand its business model. New inventions that may arise as a result of performance of the services will be the sole property of the Company and we may seek intellectual property protection for such new inventions, if any. The parties have agreed to standard confidentiality obligations during the term of the agreement and for three years

35

thereafter. The agreement is for a term of five years, subject to earlier termination by either party, generally upon 180 days’ prior notice. The Company will provide to HemaCare payment for such services as set forth in the agreement, which will be fixed for a 12 month period and may thereafter be increased based on mutual agreement of the parties. The services will be provided by HemaCare in accordance with all FDA regulations and guidelines, licensing requirements of any jurisdiction in which the services are performed, cGMP standards and all other applicable federal, state or local laws. This agreement supersedes the terms of a prior agreement with HemaCare acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisition of its adult stem cell business in January 2006 from NS California.

On September 7, 2006, the Company entered into an Adult Stem Cell Collection Agreement with Ronald Rothenberg, M.D. for the operation by Dr. Rothenberg of a center in Encinitas, California for the collection of adult stem cells from peripheral blood. The collection center has commenced operations and Dr. Rothenberg is responsible for operating the center, including paying associated costs and ensuring it is operated in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and standards of care. As a licensed physician, Dr. Rothenberg is also subject to regulations of the Medical Board of California, as well as ethical and practice standards promulgated by the American Medical Association, among other things. Dr. Rothenberg is also required to use his best efforts to promote the business in the territory of Encinitas and has agreed to customary confidentiality and noncompetition provisions and to pay to the Company a specified fee for administrative, management and other services. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company has granted to Dr. Rothenberg a non-exclusive, non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense, to use the Company’s intellectual property and marks in connection with the operation of the collection center. The Company is also providing training and marketing support for the operation of the collection center and will process and store the adult stem cells collected at the collection center. The initial term of the agreement is one year, subject to earlier termination as specified in the agreement, and will be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless either party provides 60 days’ notice of such party’s intent not to renew.

On August 29, 2006, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of one-for-ten shares. The primary purposes of effecting the reverse stock split was (i) to raise the per share market price of the Company’s common stock to facilitate future financing or to be able to use our capital stock in acquisitions, (ii) to raise the per share price to be able to possibly consider a Nasdaq or other listing for our shares in the future and (iii) to save administrative expenses by reducing the number of our stockholders. All numbers in this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split which was effective as of August 31, 2006.

Also on August 29, 2006, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name from Phase III Medical, Inc. to NeoStem, Inc. As the Company’s business efforts are now focused on developing NS California’s (previously known as NeoStem, Inc.) business of adult stem cell collection and storage, it was appropriate to change the corporate name to NeoStem, Inc. to better reflect our current business operations.

2006 Financing Activities

On December 30, 2005, and in January 2006, the Company consummated the private placement sale to 19 accredited investors of units consisting of convertible promissory notes and detachable warrants (“the WestPark private placement”). Gross proceeds raised were $250,000 on December 30, 2005 and $250,000 in January 2006, totaling an aggregate of $500,000 in gross proceeds. Each unit was comprised of: (a) a nine month note in the principal amount of $25,000 bearing 9% simple interest, payable semi-annually, with the 2nd payment paid upon maturity, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $6.00 per share; and (b) 4,167 detachable three year warrants, each for the purchase of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share. The notes were subject to mandatory conversion by the Company if the closing price of the common stock had been at least $18.00 for a period

36

of at least 10 consecutive trading days prior to the date on which notice of conversion was sent by the Company to the holders of the promissory notes, and if the underlying shares were then registered for resale with the SEC. Holders of the units are entitled to certain registration rights (see below). The Company issued to WestPark Capital, Inc., the placement agent for the WestPark private placement, (i) 5,000 shares of common stock (2,500 shares on December 30, 2005 and 2,500 shares in January 2006); and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (4,167 on December 30, 2005 and 4,167 in January 2006). By January 2007 all the convertible promissory notes issued in the WestPark private placement had either been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock or repaid by the Company (see below).

In May 2006, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Duncan Capital Group LLC (“Duncan”). Pursuant to the advisory agreement, Duncan is providing to the Company on a non-exclusive best efforts basis, services as a financial consultant in connection with any equity or debt financing, merger, acquisition as well as with other financial matters. In return for these services, the Company was paying to Duncan a monthly retainer fee of $7,500 (50% of which could be paid by the Company in shares of its common stock valued at fair market value) and reimbursing it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses up to $12,000. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, Duncan also agreed that it or an affiliate would act as lead investor in a proposed private placement of securities, for a fee of $200,000 in cash and 24,000 shares of restricted common stock. On June 2, 2006 (the “June 2006 private placement”), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with 17 accredited investors (the “June 2006 investors”). DCI Master LDC, an affiliate of Duncan, acted as lead investor. Duncan received its fee as described above. The Company issued to each June 2006 investor shares of its common stock at a per-share price of $4.40 along with a five-year warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock purchased by the June 2006 investor (together with the common stock issued, the “June 2006 securities”). The gross proceeds from this sale were $2,079,000. In February 2007, the term of this agreement was extended through December 2007. Additionally, it was amended to provide that the monthly retainer fee be paid by issuing to Duncan an aggregate of 15,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly over the remaining term of the agreement.

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement for the June 2006 private placement, the Company expanded the size of its Board to four directors, and appointed Dr. Robin L. Smith as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Dr. Smith, who was previously Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Company, purchased 5,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,400 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement. The Company also agreed to expand the size of the Board upon the initial closing under the securities purchase agreement to permit DCI Master LDC to designate one additional independent member to the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably acceptable to the Company. Richard Berman was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors in November 2006 to serve as such designee. The securities purchase agreement also prohibits the Company from taking certain action without the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors for so long as the purchasers in the June 2006 private placement own at least 20% of the common stock, including making loans, guarantying indebtedness, incurring indebtedness that is not already included in a Board approved budget on the date of the securities purchase agreement that exceeds $100,000, encumbering the Company’s technology and intellectual property or entering into new or amending employment agreements with executive officers. DCI Master LDC is also granted access to Company facilities and personnel and given other information rights. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, all then current and future officers and directors of the Company were to not, without the prior written consent of DCI Master LDC, dispose of any shares of capital stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for or containing rights to purchase, shares of capital stock of the Company until three months after the effective date of the registration statement filed with the SEC to register the securities issued in the June 2006 private placement (described below). Such registration statement was declared effective on November 6, 2006.

37

The officers of the Company, as a condition of the initial closing under the securities purchase agreement for the June 2006 private placement, entered into letter agreements with the Company pursuant to which they converted an aggregate of $278,653 of accrued salary into shares of common stock at a per share price of $4.40. After adjustments for applicable payroll and withholding taxes which were paid by the Company, the Company issued to such officers an aggregate of 37.998 shares of common stock. The Company also adopted an Executive Officer Compensation Plan, effective as of the date of closing of the securities purchase agreement and pursuant to the letter agreements each officer agreed to be bound by the Executive Officer Compensation Plan. In addition to the conversion of accrued salary, the letter agreements provided for a reduction by 25% in base salary for each officer until the Company achieves certain milestones, the granting of options to purchase shares of common stock under the Company’s 2003 Equity Participation Plan which become exercisable upon the Company achieving certain revenue milestones and the acceleration of the vesting of certain options and restricted shares held by the officers. In January 2007, the milestones relating to the reduction in base salary had been achieved; however, the same officers (and in addition the Chief Executive Officer who became an employee in connection with the June 2006 private placement) agreed to subsequent amendments to or replacements of their employment agreements which provided instead for a 20% reduction in base salary and/or agreement by the officer to extend their employment term, as well as certain additional or amended terms.

In connection with the securities purchase agreement, on June 2, 2006 the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each of the June 2006 investors (the “June 2006 registration rights agreement”). Pursuant to the June 2006 registration rights agreement, the Company was obligated to prepare and file no later than June 30, 2006 a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares of common stock and the warrants issued in the June 2006 private placement. The Company and the June 2006 investors agreed to amend the registration rights agreement and extend the due date of the registration statement to August 31, 2006. A registration statement was filed pursuant thereto and declared effective by the SEC on November 6, 2006.

Pursuant to the terms of the WestPark private placement (described above), the Company agreed to file with the SEC and have effective by July 31, 2006, a registration statement registering the resale by the investors in the WestPark private placement of the shares of common stock underlying the convertible promissory notes and the warrants sold in the WestPark private placement. In the event the Company did not do so, (i) the conversion price of the convertible promissory notes would be reduced by 5% each month, subject to a floor of $4.00; (ii) the exercise price of the warrants would be reduced by 5% each month, subject to a floor of $10.00; and (iii) the warrants could be exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise provision. The Company did not have the registration statement effective by July 31, 2006 and requested that the investors in the WestPark private placement extend the date by which the registration statement was required to be effective until February 28, 2007. The Company also offered to the investors the option of (A) extending the term of the convertible note for an additional four months from the maturity date in consideration for which (i) the Company would issue to the investor for each $25,000 in principal amount of the convertible note 568 shares of unregistered common stock; and (ii) the exercise price per warrant would be reduced from $12.00 to $8.00, or (B) converting the convertible note into shares of the Company’s common stock in consideration for which (i) the conversion price per conversion share would be reduced to $4.40; (ii) the Company would issue to the investor for each $25,000 in principal amount of the Note, 1,136 shares of common stock; (iii) the exercise price per warrant would be reduced from $12.00 to $8.00; and (iv) a new warrant would be issued substantially on the same terms as the original Warrant to purchase an additional 4,167 shares of common stock for each $25,000 in principal amount of the convertible note at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. Pursuant to this, the investor was also being asked to waive any and all penalties and liquidated damages accumulated as of the date of the agreement.

In September 2006, the Company revised the offer relating to the option of conversion of the WestPark Notes by eliminating the issuance of the additional 1,136 shares of common stock for each

38

$25,000 in principal amount of the Note converted. As of October 30, 2006, investors holding $425,000 of the $500,000 of convertible promissory notes had agreed to convert them into shares of common stock and $162,500 (of which $137,500 in principal amount was subsequently transferred and converted by the transferees) had agreed to extend the term of the convertible promissory notes on the terms set forth above. On November 6, 2006, the registration statement was declared effective. In January 2007, the remaining $75,000 in outstanding convertible promissory notes were repaid.

During July and August 2006, the Company raised an aggregate of $1,750,000 through the private placement to 34 accredited investors of 397,727 shares of its common stock at $4.40 per share and warrants to purchase 198,864 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share (the “Summer 2006 private placement”). The terms of the Summer 2006 private placement were substantially similar to the terms of the June 2006 private placement.

FORMER BUSINESS OPERATIONS

History

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1980 under the name Fidelity Medical Services, Inc. On July 28, 1983 the Company changed its name to Fidelity Medical, Inc. From its inception through March 1995, the Company was engaged in the development and sale of medical imaging products through a wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of a reverse merger on March 2, 1995 with Corniche Distribution Limited and its subsidiaries, the Company was engaged in the retail sale and wholesale distribution of stationery and related office products in the United Kingdom. Effective March 25, 1995 the Company sold its medical imaging products subsidiary. On September 28, 1995 the Company changed its name to Corniche Group Incorporated. In February 1996, the Company’s United Kingdom operations were placed in receivership by creditors. Thereafter through March 1998 the Company was inactive. On March 4, 1998, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with certain individuals (the “initial purchasers”) whereby the initial purchasers acquired in aggregate 765,000 shares of a newly created Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. Thereafter the initial purchasers endeavored to establish for the Company new business operations in the property and casualty specialty insurance and warranty/service contracts markets. On September 30, 1998 the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Stamford Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Stamford”) and commenced operation of a property and casualty insurance business. Stamford provided reinsurance coverage for one domestic insurance company until the fourth quarter of 2000 when the relationship with the carrier was terminated. On April 30, 2001 the Company sold Stamford and was no longer involved in property and casualty specialty insurance. In January 2002, the Company entered into a Stock Contribution Exchange Agreement, as amended, with StrandTek International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“StrandTek”), certain of StrandTek’s principal shareholders and certain non-shareholder loan holders of StrandTek (the “StrandTek transaction”). Certain conditions to closing were not met, and the agreement was formally terminated by the Company and StrandTek in June 2002. In January 2002, the Company advanced to StrandTek a loan of $1,000,000 on an unsecured basis, which was personally guaranteed by certain of the principal shareholders of StrandTek, and a further loan of $250,000 in February 2002, on an unsecured basis. StrandTek defaulted on the payment of $1,250,000, plus accrued interest due to the Company, in July 2002. As a result, the Company commenced legal proceedings against StrandTek and the guarantors to recover the principal, accrued interest and costs of recovery and in May 2003 was granted a final judgment in the amount of $1,415,622 from each corporate defendant, in the amount of $291,405 against each individual defendant and dismissing defendants’ counterclaims. The legal action concluded with the Company receiving payments from the guarantors totaling approximately $987,000 in 2003.

WarrantySuperstore.com Internet Business

The Company’s primary business focus through June 2002 was the sale of extended warranties and service contracts over the Internet covering automotive, home, office, personal electronics, home appliances, computers and garden equipment. While the Company managed most functions relating to its extended warranty and service contracts, it did not bear the economic risk to repair or replace products nor did it administer the claims function, all of which obligations rested with the Company’s appointed insurance carriers. The Company was responsible for marketing, recording sales, collecting payment and reporting contract details and paying premiums to the insurance carriers. The Company commenced operations initially by marketing its extended warranty products directly to the consumer through its web site, and as a result of the development of proprietary software by January 2001 had four distinct distribution channels: (i) direct sales to consumers, (ii) co-branded distribution, (iii) private label distribution and (iv) manufacturer/retailer partnerships. In June 2002, management determined, in light of continuing operating losses, to discontinue its warranty and service contract business and to seek new business opportunities for the Company (see the Strandtek transaction, above, and Medical Biotech/Business, below). In addition to such activities, the Company has continued to “run off” the sale of its warranties and service contracts. This run off ended in March 2007.

Medical/Biotech Business

On February 6, 2003, the Company appointed Mark Weinreb as a member of the Board of Directors and as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Under his direction, the Company entered a new line of business where it provided capital and guidance to companies in multiple sectors of the healthcare and life science industries, in return for a percentage of revenues, royalty fees, licensing fees and other product sales of the target companies. The Company continued to recruit management, business development and technical personnel, and developed its business model, in furtherance of its business plan. The Company engaged in various capital raising activities to pursue this business, raising $489,781 in 2003 and $1,289,375 in 2004 through the sale of common stock and notes. Additionally, in 2003, it received a total of approximately $987,000 from the settlement with the StrandTek guarantors (a significant portion of which was used to pay outstanding liabilities for legal expenses, employment terminations, travel and entertainment expenses and consultants and the balance of which was used for operating expenses and the retirement of certain debt). In 2005 and 2006, the Company raised $1,325,000 and $3,573,000, respectively. Such capital raising activities since 2003 enabled the Company to pursue the arrangements with PSI (below) and NS California, and to launch the Company’s adult stem cell business.

On July 24, 2003, the Company changed its name to Phase III Medical, Inc., which better described the Company’s then current business plan. In connection with the change of name, the Company changed its trading symbol to “PHSM” from “CNGI”.

On December 12, 2003, the Company signed a royalty agreement with Parallel Solutions, Inc. (“PSI”) to develop a new bioshielding platform technology for the delivery of therapeutic proteins and small molecule drugs in order to extend circulating half-life to improve bioavailability and dosing regimen, while maintaining or improving pharmacologic activity. The agreement provided for PSI to pay the Company a percentage of the revenue received from the sale of certain specified products or licensing activity. The Company provided capital and guidance to PSI to conduct a proof of concept study to improve an existing therapeutic protein with the goal of validating the bioshielding technology for further development and licensing the technology. The Company paid a total of $720,000 since the inception of the agreement. The agreement also called for the Company to pay on behalf of PSI $280,000 of certain expenses relating to testing of the bioshielding concept, and since inception the Company paid $85,324 of such expenses. No payments have been made to PSI since 2004. In August 2005, the Company received from PSI a letter stating that the proof of concept study under the royalty agreement had been completed and that despite interesting preliminary in vitro results, the study did not meet the success standards set forth in the royalty

40

agreement and that PSI had no definitive plans to move forward with the program. The Company requested pursuant to the royalty agreement that additional in vitro studies be performed with other molecules; however PSI was under no obligation to perform any additional studies. If no additional studies were performed under the royalty agreement the likelihood of PSI generating revenues in which the Company would share would have been substantially reduced. At this time the Company does not anticipate any further activity pursuant to the PSI agreement.

In March 2003 and September, 2004, the Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement and joint venture agreement, respectively, with NS California. As described above, such agreements were terminated in connection with the NS California acquisition.

Employees

As of July 6, 2007, the Company had sixteen employees.

Properties

Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement for the use of space at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York. This space is subleased from an affiliate of Duncan Capital Group LLC (a financial advisor to and investor in the Company) and DCI Master LDC (the lead investor in the Company’s June 2006 private placement). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will pay $7,500 monthly for the space, including the use of various office services and utilities. The agreement is on a month to month basis, subject to a thirty day prior written notice requirement to terminate. The space serves as the Company’s principal executive offices. On October 27, 2006, the Company amended this agreement to increase the utilized space for an additional payment of $2,000 per month. In May 2007, the Board approved an amendment to this agreement whereby, in exchange for a further increase in utilized space, the Company would pay on a monthly basis (i) $10,000 in cash and (ii) shares of the Company’s restricted common stock with a value of $5000 based on the fair market value of the common stock on the date of issuance. The Company believes this space should be sufficient for its near term needs. The Company intends to seek new executive office space after the initial closing of the offering. Effective October 1, 2006, the Company terminated the lease for its Melville, New York facility. In January 2005, NS California began leasing space at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, California at an annual rental of approximately $26,000 for use as its stem cell processing and storage facility. The lease expired on December 31, 2005, but the Company continues to occupy the space on a month-to-month basis. This space will be sufficient for the Company’s needs in the short term but we anticipate that we will require additional facilities as we expand. NS California also leased office space in Agoura Hills, California on a month-to-month basis from Symbion Research International at a monthly rental of $1,687, and we plan to continue this arrangement to fill our need for office space in California.
