−Removed: When determining whether
−Removed: a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease, ASC 842 does not specifically define criteria to determine “major part
−Removed: of remaining economic life of the underlying asset” and “substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.”
−Removed: For lease classification determination, Lineage continues to use:
−Removed: (i) greater than or equal to 75% to determine whether the lease

−Removed: Lineage uses the implicit rate when readily determinable.
−Removed: The operating lease ROU asset also includes
−Removed: any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

−Removed: million pertaining to the OPC1 program that is currently in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial for SCI, which has been partially funded

−Removed: The identification of these intangible assets are based
−Removed: on consideration of historical experience and a market participant’s view further discussed below;
−Removed: collectively, OPC1 and
−Removed: VAC2 are referred to as the “AST-Clinical Programs”.
−Removed: These intangible assets are valued primarily through the use

−Removed: Lineage considered Asterias’
−Removed: VAC1 program, which is an autologous, or patient-specific, cancer immunotherapy derived from the patient’s own cells, to
−Removed: have de minimis value due to significant risks, substantial costs and limited opportunities.
−Removed: determined that the estimated aggregate fair value of the AST-Clinical programs was $ 46.5 million as of the acquisition date using

−Removed: This approach estimates the probability of the
−Removed: AST-Clinical Programs achieving successful completion of remaining clinical trials and related approvals into the valuation technique.
−Removed: calculate fair value of the AST-Clinical programs under the discounted cash flow method, Lineage used probability-weighted, projected
−Removed: cash flows discounted at a rate considered appropriate given the significant inherent risks associated with cell therapy development
−Removed: by clinical-stage companies.
−Removed: Cash flows were calculated based on estimated projections of revenues and expenses related to each
−Removed: respective program.
−Removed: Cash flows were assumed to extend through a seven-year market exclusivity period for the OPC1 program from
−Removed: the date of market launch.
−Removed: Revenues from commercialization of the AST-Clinical Programs were based on estimated market potential
−Removed: for the indication of each program.
−Removed: The resultant cash flows were then discounted to present value using a weighted-average cost
−Removed: of capital for companies with profiles substantially similar to that of Lineage, which Lineage believes represents the rate that
−Removed: market participants would use to value the assets.
−Removed: Lineage compensated for the phase of development of the program by applying

−Removed: In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill and acquired IPR&D are determined to have indefinite lives and, therefore,
−Removed: are not amortized.
−Removed: Instead, they are tested for impairment at least annually and between annual tests if Lineage becomes aware
−Removed: of an event or a change in circumstances that would indicate the asset may be impaired.
−Removed: the IPR&D (prior to completion or abandonment of the R&D) is considered an indefinite-lived asset for accounting purposes,

−Removed: applications under certain, specific patent families under contracts which preclude the customers to sell for commercial use or
−Removed: for clinical trials.
−Removed: These royalty cash flows are generated under certain specific patent families that Asterias previously acquired
−Removed: from Geron Corporation (“Geron”).
+Added: The former stockholders of
+Added: Asterias (other than Lineage) received 0.71 common shares of Lineage for every share of Asterias common stock they owned.
+Added: Lineage issued
+Added: 24,695,898 common shares, including 58,085 shares issued in respect of restricted stock units issued by Asterias that immediately vested
+Added: in connection with the closing of the Asterias Merger.
+Added: The aggregate dollar value of such shares, based on the closing price of Lineage
+Added: common shares on March 8, 2019, was $ 32.4 million.
+Added: The total purchase price was $ 52.6 million.
+Added: Lineage also assumed warrants to purchase
+Added: shares of Asterias common stock.
+Added: has two IPR&D intangible assets that were valued at $ 46.5 million as part of the purchase price allocation that was performed in
+Added: connection with the Asterias Merger.
+Added: The fair value of these assets consists of $ 31.7 million pertaining to the OPC1 program that is
+Added: currently in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial for SCI, which has been partially funded by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine
+Added: and $ 14.8 million pertaining to the VAC2 program, which is an allogeneic, or “off-the-shelf,” cancer immunotherapy derived
+Added: from pluripotent stem cells for which a clinical trial in non-small cell lung cancer is being funded and sponsored by Cancer Research
+Added: also has certain royalty revenues for “research only use” culture media for pre-clinical research applications under certain,
+Added: specific patent families under contracts which preclude the customers to sell for commercial use or for clinical trials.
+Added: These royalty
+Added: cash flows are generated under certain specific patent families that Asterias previously acquired from Geron Corporation (“Geron”).
Asterias pays Geron a royalty for all royalty revenues received from these contracts.
−Removed: Because these patents are a subset of the clinical programs discussed above, are expected to continue to generate revenues for
−Removed: Asterias and are not to be used in the OPC1 or the VAC2 programs, these patents are considered to be separate long-lived intangible
−Removed: assets under ASC 805.
−Removed: These intangible assets are also valued primarily through the use of the discounted cash flow method under
−Removed: the income approach, and will be amortized over their useful life, estimated to be five years .
−Removed: The discounted cash flow method
−Removed: estimated the amount of net royalty income that can be expected under the contracts in future years.
−Removed: The amounts were based on
−Removed: observed historical trends in the growth of these revenue streams, and were estimated to terminate in approximately five years,
−Removed: when the key patents under these contracts will begin to expire.
−Removed: The resulting cash flows were discounted to the valuation date
−Removed: based on a rate of return that recognizes a lower level of risk associated with these assets as compared to the AST-Clinical programs
−Removed: discussed above.
−Removed: license revenue - In September 2018, Asterias and Novo Nordisk A/S (“Novo Nordisk”) entered into an option for
−Removed: Novo Nordisk or its designated U.S.
−Removed: affiliate to license, on a non-exclusive basis, certain intellectual property related to culturing
−Removed: pluripotent stem cells, such as hES cells, in suspension.
−Removed: Under the terms of the option, Asterias received a one-time upfront
−Removed: payment of $ 1.0 million , in exchange for a 24-month period option to negotiate a non-exclusive license during which time Asterias
−Removed: has agreed to not grant any exclusive licenses inconsistent with the Novo Nordisk option.
−Removed: This option was considered a performance
−Removed: obligation as it provided Novo Nordisk with a material right that it would not receive without entering into the contract.
−Removed: business combination purposes under ASC 805, the fair value of this performance obligation to Lineage, from a market participant
−Removed: perspective, was the estimated costs Lineage may incur, plus a normal profit margin for the level of effort required to perform
−Removed: under the contract after the acquisition date, assuming Novo Nordisk exercised its option, including negotiation costs, legal
−Removed: fees, arbitration, if any, and other related costs.
−Removed: Management estimated those costs, plus a normal profit margin, to be approximately
−Removed: $ 200 ,000 in the purchase price allocation.
−Removed: This amount was originally recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized
−Removed: as revenue in September 2020 when Novo Nordisk did not exercise the option.
−Removed: classified warrants - On May 13, 2016, in connection with a common stock offering, Asterias issued warrants to purchase 2,959,559
−Removed: shares of Asterias common stock (the “Asterias Warrants”) with an exercise price of $ 4.37 per share that expire on
−Removed: May 13, 2021 .
−Removed: As of the closing of the Asterias Merger, there were 2,813,159 Asterias Warrants outstanding.
−Removed: The Asterias Warrants
−Removed: contain certain provisions in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the warrant agreement governing the Asterias
−Removed: Warrants (“Warrant Agreement”), that Asterias or any successor entity will be required to purchase, at a holder’s
−Removed: option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within thirty days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction,
−Removed: the Asterias Warrants for cash in an amount equal to the calculated value of the unexercised portion of such holder’s warrants,
−Removed: determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model with significant inputs as specified in the Warrant Agreement.
−Removed: The Asterias Merger was a Fundamental Transaction for purposes of the Asterias Warrants.
−Removed: fair value of the Asterias Warrants was determined by using Black-Scholes option pricing models which take into consideration
−Removed: the probability of the Fundamental Transaction, which for purposes of the above valuation was assumed to be at 100 %
−Removed: and net cash settlement occurring, using
−Removed: the contractual remaining term of the warrants.
−Removed: In applying these models, these inputs included key assumptions including the
−Removed: per share closing price of Lineage common shares on March 8, 2019, volatility computed in accordance with the provisions of the
−Removed: Warrant Agreement and, to a large extent, assumptions based on discussions with a majority of the holders of the Asterias Warrants
−Removed: since the closing of the Asterias Merger to settle the Asterias Warrants in cash or in common shares of Lineage.
−Removed: Based on such
−Removed: discussions, Lineage believes the fair value of the Asterias Warrants as of the closing of the Asterias Merger is not subject
−Removed: to change significantly, however, to the extent any Asterias Warrants that were not settled in cash or in Lineage common shares
−Removed: discussed below, were automatically converted to Lineage warrants 30 days after the closing of the Asterias Merger.
−Removed: In April 2019,
−Removed: Asterias Warrants representing approximately $ 372 ,000
−Removed: in fair value were settled:
−Removed: in fair value was settled in exchange for 251,835
−Removed: common shares of Lineage, and $ 40 ,000 in fair value was settled in exchange for cash.
−Removed: The Asterias Warrants settled in exchange
−Removed: for common shares of Lineage were held by Broadwood Partners, L.P., an Asterias and Lineage shareholder.
−Removed: The Asterias Warrants
−Removed: settled in exchange for cash were held by other parties.
−Removed: The remaining Asterias Warrants (representing approximately $ 495,000
−Removed: in fair value as of March 31, 2019) were converted into warrants to purchase common shares of Lineage using the Merger
−Removed: Exchange Ratio (the “Lineage Warrants”).
−Removed: of September 30, 2020, the total number of common shares of Lineage subject to warrants that were assumed by Lineage in connection
−Removed: with the Asterias Merger was 1,089,900 , with similar terms and conditions retained under the Lineage Warrants as per the original
−Removed: Warrant Agreements.
−Removed: The Lineage Warrants have an exercise price of $ 6.15 per warrant share and expire on May 13, 2021 .
−Removed: value of Lineage common shares held by Asterias - As of March 8, 2019, Asterias held 2,621,811 common shares of Lineage as
−Removed: marketable securities on its standalone financial statements.
−Removed: The fair value of those shares acquired by Lineage from Asterias
−Removed: is determined based on the $ 1.31 per share closing price of Lineage common shares on March 8, 2019.
−Removed: Although treasury shares are
−Removed: not considered an asset and were retired upon Lineage’s acquisition of Asterias, the fair value of those shares is a part
−Removed: of the purchase price allocation shown in the tables above.
−Removed: These Lineage shares were retired at the completion of the Asterias
−Removed: - Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the
−Removed: values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
−Removed: Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least
−Removed: annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment.
−Removed: on the structure of a particular acquisition, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets may not be deductible for tax purposes.
−Removed: Goodwill recorded in the Asterias Merger is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes (see Note 13).
−Removed: related costs recorded in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were immaterial.
−Removed: Acquisition related costs recorded in general and administrative expenses were $ 0.7 million and $ 4.4 million for the nine months
−Removed: ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: to the consummation of the Asterias Merger in March 2019, Lineage elected to account for its 21.7 million shares of Asterias common
−Removed: stock at fair value using the equity method of accounting.
−Removed: The fair value of the Asterias shares was approximately $20.2 million
−Removed: as of March 8, 2019, the closing date of the Asterias Merger, based on $0.93 per share, which was calculated by multiplying:
−Removed: $1.31, the closing price of Lineage common shares on such date;
−Removed: by (b) the Merger Exchange Ratio.
−Removed: The fair value of the Asterias
−Removed: shares was approximately $ 13.5 million as of December 31, 2018, based on the closing price of Asterias common stock of $ 0.62 per
−Removed: share on such date.
−Removed: Accordingly, Lineage recorded an unrealized gain of $ 6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, representing
−Removed: the change in fair value of Asterias common stock from December 31, 2018 to March 8, 2019.
−Removed: All share prices were determined based
−Removed: on the closing price of Lineage or Asterias common stock on the NYSE American on the applicable dates.
−Removed: Merger Related Litigation - See Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies for discussion regarding litigation related to the Asterias
+Added: Because these patents are expected to continue
+Added: to generate revenues for Asterias and are not to be used in the OPC1 or the VAC2 programs, these patents are considered to be separate
+Added: long-lived intangible assets under ASC 805.
+Added: connection with the closing of the Asterias Merger, Lineage assumed outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Asterias common stock,
+Added: as further discussed below and in Note 11, and assumed sponsorship of the Asterias 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (see Note 12).
+Added: options to purchase shares of Asterias common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Asterias Merger were canceled
