Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
−Removed: Combinations –
−Removed: Lineage accounts for business combinations, such as the Asterias Merger completed in March 2019, in accordance
−Removed: with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations , which requires the purchase
−Removed: price to be measured at fair value.
−Removed: When the purchase consideration consists entirely of our common shares, Lineage calculates
−Removed: the purchase price by determining the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of shares issued in connection with the closing
−Removed: of the acquisition.
−Removed: Lineage recognizes estimated fair values of the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired, including
−Removed: in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, and records
−Removed: as goodwill any amount of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in excess of the
−Removed: purchase price.
−Removed: and IPR&D –
−Removed: Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration
+Added: Combinations – Lineage accounts for business combinations, such as the Asterias Merger completed in March 2019, in accordance
+Added: with ASC Topic 805, which requires the purchase price to be measured at fair value.
+Added: When the purchase consideration consists entirely
+Added: of Lineage common shares, Lineage calculates the purchase price by determining the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of
+Added: shares issued in connection with the closing of the acquisition.
+Added: Lineage recognizes estimated fair values of the tangible assets

+Added: as of the acquisition date, and records as goodwill any amount of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired
+Added: and liabilities assumed in excess of the purchase price.
+Added: Equity Securities – Lineage accounts for the shares it holds in OncoCyte and HBL (and AgeX previously) as marketable
+Added: equity securities in accordance with ASC 320-10-25, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities , as amended by Accounting
+Added: Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall:
+Added: Recognition and Measurement of Financial
+Added: Assets and Financial Liabilities, further discussed below .
+Added: OncoCyte and AgeX shares have readily determinable fair values quoted on the NYSE American under trading symbols “OCX”
+Added: The HBL shares have a readily determinable fair value quoted on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”)
+Added: under trading symbol “HDST” where share prices are denominated in New Israeli Shekels (NIS).
+Added: to September 11, 2019, Lineage accounted for its OncoCyte shares held at fair value, using the equity method of accounting.
+Added: September 11, 2019, Lineage’s ownership percentage decreased from 24 % to 16 % when it sold 4.0 million shares of OncoCyte
+Added: common stock.
+Added: Accordingly, as the ownership percentage was reduced to less than 20 % , Lineage is no longer considered to exercise
+Added: significant influence over OncoCyte and is now accounting for its OncoCyte holdings as marketable equity securities.
+Added: the Asterias Merger completed on March 8, 2019, Lineage accounted for its Asterias shares held at fair value, using the equity
+Added: method of accounting.
+Added: Recognition – Lineage recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
+Added: Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and in
+Added: a manner that depicts the transfer of control of a product or a service to a customer and reflects the amount of the consideration
+Added: it is entitled to receive in exchange for such product or service.
+Added: In doing so, Lineage follows a five-step approach:
+Added: the contract with a customer;
+Added: (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: (iii) determine the transaction price;
+Added: (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;
+Added: and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the customer obtains
+Added: control of the product or service.
+Added: Lineage considers the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying
+Added: the revenue recognition standard.
+Added: Lineage applies the revenue recognition standard, including the use of any practical expedients,
+Added: consistently to contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances.
+Added: largest source of revenue is currently related to government grants.
+Added: In applying the provisions of ASU 2014-09, Lineage has determined
+Added: that government grants are out of the scope of ASU 2014-09 because the government entities do not meet the definition of a “customer,”
+Added: as defined by ASU 2014-09, as there is not considered to be a transfer of control of good or services to the government entities
+Added: funding the grant.
+Added: Lineage has, and will continue to, account for grants received to perform research and development services
+Added: in accordance with ASC 730-20, Research and Development Arrangements , which requires an assessment, at the inception of
+Added: the grant, of whether the grant is a liability or a contract to perform research and development services for others.
+Added: or a subsidiary receiving the grant is obligated to repay the grant funds to the grantor regardless of the outcome of the research
+Added: and development activities, then Lineage is required to estimate and recognize that liability.
+Added: Alternatively, if Lineage or a
+Added: subsidiary receiving the grant is not required to repay, or if it is required to repay the grant funds only if the research and
+Added: development activities are successful, then the grant agreement is accounted for as a contract to perform research and development
+Added: services for others, in which case, grant revenue is recognized when the related research and development expenses are incurred
+Added: (see Note 14).
+Added: grant revenues represent grant funds received from the governmental funding agencies for which the allowable expenses have not
+Added: yet been incurred as of the balance sheet date reported.
+Added: As of December 31, 2020, deferred grant revenue was $ 193,000 .

+Added: earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss attributable to Lineage common shareholders by the weighted
+Added: average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares issuable under outstanding
+Added: stock options and warrants, using the treasury-stock method, convertible preferred stock, if any, using the if-converted method,
+Added: and treasury stock held by subsidiaries, if any.
+Added: the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, Lineage reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders, and
+Added: therefore, all potentially dilutive common shares were considered antidilutive for those periods.
+Added: following common share equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share for the periods

+Added: management determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
+Added: Leases are classified as either financing or operating, with
+Added: classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: When determining whether
+Added: a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease, ASC 842 does not specifically define criteria to determine “major part
+Added: of remaining economic life of the underlying asset” and “substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.”
+Added: For lease classification determination, Lineage continues to use:
+Added: (i) greater than or equal to 75% to determine whether the lease
+Added: term is a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset;
+Added: and (ii) greater than or equal to 90% to determine
+Added: whether the present value of the sum of lease payments is substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.
+Added: available practical expedients, Lineage accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
+Added: Lineage recognizes
+Added: right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms greater than twelve months in the condensed
+Added: consolidated balance sheet.
+Added: assets represent Lineage’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent Lineage’s
+Added: obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
+Added: Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement
+Added: date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
+Added: As most of Lineage’s leases do not provide an implicit
+Added: rate, Lineage uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present
+Added: value of lease payments.
+Added: Lineage uses the implicit rate when readily determinable.
+Added: The operating lease ROU asset also includes
+Added: any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.
+Added: Lineage’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate
+Added: the lease when it is reasonably certain that Lineage will exercise that option.
+Added: Lease expense for lease payments is recognized

+Added: in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: Financing leases are included in property and equipment, and in financing lease
+Added: liabilities, current and long-term, in Lineage’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: connection with the adoption on ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, Lineage derecognized net book value of leasehold improvements and
+Added: corresponding lease liabilities of $ 1.9 million and $ 2.0 million, respectively, which was the carrying value of certain operating
+Added: leases as of December 31, 2018, included in property and equipment and lease liabilities, respectively, recorded pursuant to build
+Added: to suit lease accounting under the previous ASC 840 lease standard.
+Added: The derecognition of these amounts from the superseded ASC
+Added: 840 lease standard was offset by a cumulative effect adjustment of $ 0.1 million as a reduction of Lineage’s accumulated
+Added: deficit on January 1, 2019.
+Added: These build to suit leases were primarily related to Lineage’s prior leases in Alameda, California
+Added: and Cell Cure’s leases in Jerusalem, Israel (See Note 14).
+Added: ASC 842 requires build to suit leases recognized on Lineage’s
+Added: consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 to be derecognized upon the adoption of the new lease standard and be recognized
+Added: in accordance with the new standard on January 1, 2019.
+Added: adoption of ASC 842 had a material impact in Lineage’s consolidated balance sheets, with the most significant impact resulting
