of the Matter
−Removed: described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s in-process research and development indefinite-lived
−Removed: intangible assets had a balance of $46.5 million as of December 31, 2020.
−Removed: Indefinite-lived
−Removed: intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might
−Removed: As part of its indefinite-live intangible asset impairment assessment, management estimates the fair values of the
−Removed: Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets using an income approach that utilizes a discounted cash flow model or, where
−Removed: appropriate, a market approach.
−Removed: The discounted cash flow model is dependent upon management’s estimates of future cash flows
−Removed: and other factors such as estimates of (i) future operating performance, including future sales, long-term growth rates, operating
−Removed: margins, discount rates, variations in the amount and timing of cash flows and the probability of achieving the estimated cash
−Removed: flows, and (ii) future economic conditions.
−Removed: the Company’s impairment analysis of its indefinite-lived intangible assets is complex because of the significant judgment
−Removed: and estimates used by management in developing the fair value measurement of in-process research and development intangible assets.
−Removed: This in turn leads to significant audit effort and a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing procedures
−Removed: to evaluate management’s estimated cash flows, including significant assumptions related to future sales, long-term growth
−Removed: rates, operating margins, discount rates, variations in the amount and timing of cash flows and the probability of achieving the
−Removed: estimated cash flows, and future economic conditions in determining the fair value of each of the in-process research and development
−Removed: intangible assets.
+Added: Company recorded deferred revenue and revenue from collaboration agreements of $50.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as of and
+Added: for the year ended December 31, 2021.
+Added: As described in Note 2, the terms of the Company’s collaboration agreements may include licenses
+Added: for the Company’s technology or programs, research and development services, and services or obligations in connection with participation
+Added: in research or steering committees.
+Added: Amounts received under these arrangements typically include nonrefundable upfront payments and license
+Added: fees, research funding, milestone and other contingent payments for the achievement of defined collaboration objectives and certain preclinical,
+Added: clinical, regulatory and sales-based events, as well as royalties on sales of any commercialized products.
+Added: the Company’s accounting for revenues from collaboration arrangements was complex and required significant judgments primarily
+Added: in identifying which elements represent revenue producing performance obligations, determining the measurement and allocation of arrangement
+Added: consideration, and evaluating estimates of the total expected inputs under the input method for revenue recognized over time.
We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
−Removed: the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the
−Removed: consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: These procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of and evaluating management’s

−Removed: and evaluating the reasonableness
−Removed: of the significant assumptions used by management, including the future cash flow projections and discount rates.
−Removed: the reasonableness of management’s assumptions for future cash flow projections and discount rates in consideration of (i)
−Removed: the current and past performance of the asset group, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether
−Removed: these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
−Removed: Francisco, California
+Added: test the accounting treatment for revenue from collaboration arrangements, we evaluated, among other things, whether the identified performance
+Added: obligations were properly determined, and the transaction price was properly measured and allocated to the identified performance obligations.
+Added: To test the measurement of efforts toward satisfying the performance obligation, our audit procedures included, among others, reviewing
+Added: management’s analysis for accuracy and completeness by agreeing data to the underlying contract, inspecting communications with
+Added: the collaborative partner, evaluating the application of the input method for the recognition of revenue and testing the estimated total
+Added: inputs and actual inputs incurred.

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

−Removed: under trading symbol “HDST” where share prices are denominated in New Israeli Shekels (NIS).
−Removed: to September 11, 2019, Lineage accounted for its OncoCyte shares held at fair value, using the equity method of accounting.
−Removed: September 11, 2019, Lineage’s ownership percentage decreased from 24 % to 16 % when it sold 4.0 million shares of OncoCyte
−Removed: common stock.
−Removed: Accordingly, as the ownership percentage was reduced to less than 20 % , Lineage is no longer considered to exercise
−Removed: significant influence over OncoCyte and is now accounting for its OncoCyte holdings as marketable equity securities.
−Removed: the Asterias Merger completed on March 8, 2019, Lineage accounted for its Asterias shares held at fair value, using the equity

−Removed: Lineage has, and will continue to, account for grants received to perform research and development services

−Removed: the grant, of whether the grant is a liability or a contract to perform research and development services for others.
−Removed: or a subsidiary receiving the grant is obligated to repay the grant funds to the grantor regardless of the outcome of the research
−Removed: and development activities, then Lineage is required to estimate and recognize that liability.
−Removed: Alternatively, if Lineage or a
−Removed: subsidiary receiving the grant is not required to repay, or if it is required to repay the grant funds only if the research and
−Removed: development activities are successful, then the grant agreement is accounted for as a contract to perform research and development
−Removed: services for others, in which case, grant revenue is recognized when the related research and development expenses are incurred
−Removed: (see Note 14).
−Removed: grant revenues represent grant funds received from the governmental funding agencies for which the allowable expenses have not

+Added: For agreements that include sales-based royalties, including commercial milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license

+Added: Actual revenues ultimately received
+Added: may differ from those estimates recorded and are adjusted in the period when information to actuals is available to Lineage.
+Added: Collaborative
+Added: On April 16, 2021, Lineage entered a worldwide license and collaboration agreement with ITI for the development and commercialization
+Added: of the VAC platform.
+Added: Under the terms of this agreement, Lineage is entitled to upfront licensing fees totaling $ 2.0
+Added: million paid over the first year, and up to $ 67.0
+Added: million in development and commercial milestones
+Added: across multiple indications.
+Added: Lineage will also be eligible to receive royalties up to 10 %
+Added: on net sales of future products.
+Added: On December 17, 2021, we entered into an exclusive worldwide collaboration and license agreement with
+Added: Roche, for the development and commercialization of OpRegen.
+Added: Roche paid a $ 50.0
+Added: million upfront payment and we are eligible to
+Added: receive up to $ 620.0
+Added: million in additional development, approval,
+Added: and sales milestone payments, in addition to tiered double-digit royalties.
+Added: review collaborative agreements to determine if the accounting treatment falls under Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 606 ,
+Added: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) , or Accounting Standards Codification Topic 808, Collaborative
+Added: Arrangements (“ASC 808”).
+Added: While these agreements may be within the scope of ASC 808, we may analogize to ASC 606 for
+Added: some aspects of the agreements.
+Added: terms of our collaborative agreements typically include one or more of the following:
+Added: (i) upfront fees;
+Added: (ii) milestone payments related
+Added: to achievement of development or commercial goals;
+Added: (iii) royalties on net sales of licensed products;
+Added: and (iv) reimbursement of cost-sharing
+Added: of research and development (“R&D”) expenses.
+Added: Each of these payments eventually result in collaboration revenues.
+Added: a portion of non-refundable upfront fees or other payments received are allocated to continuing performance obligations under the terms
+Added: of a collaborative arrangement, they are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as collaboration revenue when (or as) the underlying
+Added: performance obligation is satisfied.
+Added: identify the performance obligations within the collaboration agreements, we first identify all the promises in the contract (i.e.
+Added: and implicit), which may include a customer option to acquire additional goods or services for free or at a discount.
+Added: We exclude any
+Added: immaterial promises from the assessment of identifying performance obligations.
+Added: When an option is identified as providing a customer
+Added: with a material right, the option is identified as a performance obligation.
+Added: A portion of the transaction price is then allocated to
+Added: the option and recognized when (or as) the future goods or services related to the option are provided, or when the option expires.
+Added: part of the accounting treatment for these agreements, we must develop estimates and assumptions that require judgement to determine
+Added: the underlying stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation which determines how the transaction price is allocated among
+Added: the performance obligations.
+Added: The following items are estimated in the calculation of the stand-alone selling price:
+Added: forecasted revenues
+Added: and development costs, development timelines, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success.
+Added: We evaluate each
+Added: performance obligation to determine if they can be satisfied at a point in time or over time, and we measure the services delivered to
+Added: our collaboration partners each reporting period, which is based on the progress of the related program.
+Added: If necessary, we adjust the
+Added: measure of performance and related revenue recognition.
+Added: Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis which would
+Added: affect revenue and net income (loss) in the period of adjustment.
+Added: In addition, variable consideration (e.g., milestone payments) must
+Added: be evaluated to determine if it is constrained and, therefore, excluded from the transaction price.
+Added: fees - If a license to our intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in
+Added: the arrangement, we recognize collaboration revenues from the transaction price allocated to the license when the license is transferred
+Added: to the licensee, and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license.
+Added: When the license is determined to be non-distinct, we
+Added: utilize judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation
+Added: is satisfied over time or at a point in time, and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing
+Added: collaboration revenue from the allocated transaction price.
+Added: For example, when we receive upfront fees for the performance of research
+Added: and development services, or when research and development services are not considered to be distinct from a license, we recognize collaboration
+Added: revenue for those units of account over time using a measure of progress.
+Added: We evaluate the measure of progress at each reporting period
+Added: and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue as a change in estimate.
+Added: payments - At the inception of each collaboration agreement that includes milestone payments (variable consideration), we evaluate
+Added: whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using
+Added: the most likely amount method.
+Added: If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value
+Added: is included in the transaction price.
+Added: Milestone payments that are not within our or the collaboration partner’s control, such as
+Added: non-operational developmental and regulatory approvals, are generally not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals
+Added: are received.
+Added: At the end of each reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of achievement of milestones that are within our or
+Added: the collaboration partner’s control, such as operational developmental milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary,
+Added: adjust our estimate of the overall transaction price.
+Added: Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect
+Added: collaboration revenues and net income (loss) in the period of adjustment.
+Added: Revisions to our estimate of the transaction price may also
+Added: result in negative collaboration revenues and net income (loss) in the period of adjustment.
+Added: - For collaboration agreements that include sales-based royalties, including commercial milestone payments based on the level of
+Added: sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue at the later of (i) when
+Added: the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied
+Added: (or partially satisfied).
+Added: Reimbursement,

+Added: These foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses
+Added: are included in other income and expenses, net.
+Added: taxes - Lineage accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , which prescribe the use of the asset and
+Added: liability method, whereby deferred tax asset or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax

+Added: Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than
+Added: not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
+Added: ASC 740 guidance also prescribes a recognition threshold and
+Added: a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax
+Added: For benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not sustainable upon examination by taxing authorities.

−Removed: The license offered by Lineage is
−Removed: a functional license with significant standalone functionality and provides customers with the right to use Lineage’s intellectual
−Removed: This allows Lineage to recognize revenue on the license issue fee at a point in time at the beginning of the contract,
−Removed: which is when the customer begins to have use of the license.
−Removed: Variable consideration related to sales-based royalties is recognized
−Removed: only when (or as) the later of one or more of the following events occur:
−Removed: (a) a sale or usage occurs, or (b) the performance obligation
−Removed: to which some, or all, of the sales-based or usage-based royalty that has been allocated and has been satisfied or partially satisfied.
−Removed: Due to the contract termination clauses, Lineage does not expect to receive all of the minimum royalty payments throughout the

−Removed: If Lineage or a subsidiary receiving the

−Removed: Alternatively, if Lineage or a subsidiary receiving the grant
−Removed: is not required to repay, or if it is required to repay the grant funds only if the research and development activities are successful,
−Removed: then the grant agreement is accounted for as a contract to perform research and development services for others, in which case,

−Removed: following is a discussion of the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of Asterias’ significant assets and
−Removed: liabilities in connection with the Asterias Merger:
−Removed: and Deferred Income Tax Liability - The fair value of identifiable acquired IPR&D intangible assets consisting of $ 31.7
−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: by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine and $ 14.8 million pertaining to the VAC2 program, which is an allogeneic,
−Removed: or “off-the-shelf,” cancer immunotherapy derived from pluripotent stem cells for which a clinical trial in non-small
−Removed: cell lung cancer is being funded and sponsored by Cancer Research UK.
−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: of a probability weighted discounted cash flow method under the income approach further discussed below.
−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: a probability weighted discounted cash flow method for each respective program.
−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: a probability factor to its estimation of the expected future cash flows.
−Removed: The projected cash flows were based on significant assumptions,
−Removed: including the indications in which Lineage will pursue development of the AST-Clinical programs, the time and resources needed
−Removed: to complete the development and regulatory approval, estimates of revenue and operating profit related to the program considering
−Removed: its stage of development, the life of the potential commercialized product, market penetration and competition, and risks associated
−Removed: with achieving commercialization, including delay or failure to obtain regulatory approvals to conduct clinical studies, failure
−Removed: of clinical studies, delay or failure to obtain required market clearances, and intellectual property litigation.
−Removed: IPR&D assets are indefinite-lived intangible assets until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development
−Removed: (“R&D”) efforts.
−Removed: Once the R&D efforts are completed or abandoned, the IPR&D will either be amortized over
−Removed: the asset life as a finite-lived intangible asset or be impaired, respectively, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill
−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: the fair value of the IPR&D on the acquisition date creates a deferred income tax liability (“DTL”) in accordance
−Removed: with ASC 740, Income Taxes (see Note 13).
−Removed: This DTL is computed using the fair value of the IPR&D assets on the
−Removed: acquisition date multiplied by Lineage’s federal and state income tax rates.
−Removed: While this DTL would reverse on impairment
−Removed: or sale or commencement of amortization of the related intangible assets, those events are not anticipated under ASC 740 for purposes
−Removed: of predicting reversal of a temporary difference to support the realization of deferred tax assets, except for certain deferred
−Removed: tax assets and credit carryforwards that are also indefinite in nature as of the closing of the Asterias Merger, which may be
−Removed: considered for reversal under ASC 740 as further discussed in Note 13.
−Removed: contracts – Asterias has certain royalty revenues for “research only use” culture media for preclinical
−Removed: research applications under certain, specific patent families under contracts which preclude the customers to sell for commercial
−Removed: use or for clinical trials.
−Removed: These royalty cash flows are generated under certain specific patent families which Asterias previously
−Removed: acquired from Geron Corporation (“Geron”).
−Removed: Asterias pays Geron a royalty for all royalty revenues received from these
−Removed: Because these patents are a subset of the clinical programs discussed above, are expected to continue to generate revenues
−Removed: for 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.
