About StemCells Inc.

StemCells, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, engages in the research, development, and commercialization of stem cell therapeutics and related technologies for academia and industry.

Product Development Programs

The company has two product development programs, CNS Program, which is developing applications for HuCNS-SC cells, its proprietary human neural stem cell product candidate; and Liver Program, which is developing applications for its proprietary human liver engrafting cells.

CNS Program

The company’s CNS Program focuses on developing clinical applications in which transplanting HuCNS-SC cells would protect the host cells of the patient before such cells are irreversibly damaged or lost due to disease progression. Its initial target indications are neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and certain other lysosomal storage diseases, diseases in which deficient myelination plays a central role, such as Pelizeaus-Merzbacher Disease, cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis; traumatic brain and spinal cord injury; and disorders in which retinal degeneration plays a central role, such as age-related macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa. HuCNS-SC cells are a purified and expanded composition of normal human neural stem cells.

The company completed a Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of its HuCNS-SC cells as a treatment for infantile and late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), two forms of a group of disorders often referred to as Batten disease.

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL; also known as Batten disease): Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), which is often referred to as Batten disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that affects infants and young children.

In 2009, the company completed a six-patient Phase I clinical trial at Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children’s Hospital to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of its HuCNS-SC product candidate as a treatment for infantile and late infantile NCL.

The company’s preclinical data demonstrate that HuCNS-SC cells, when transplanted in a mouse model of infantile NCL, engraft, migrate throughout the brain, produce the missing PPT1 enzyme, reduce the toxic storage material in the brain, protect host neurons so that more of them survive, and delay the loss of motor function compared to a control group of non-transplanted mice.

Other Lysosomal Storage Diseases (LSD): All LSDs are caused by a defective or missing gene which codes for an enzyme that processes cellular waste substances. Some LSDs can be treated by enzyme replacement therapies, and examples of enzyme replacement products already approved are Cerezyme for Gaucher disease, Fabryzyme for Fabry disease, Myozyme for Pompe disease, Aldurazyme for MPS I, and Naglazyme for MPS VI.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease (PMD): Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease, a rare, degenerative, central nervous system disorder, is a genetic disorder known as leukodystrophies. Leukodystrophies involve abnormal growth of the myelin sheath which is the fatty substance that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. In 2009, the company initiated a Phase I clinical trial of its HuCNS-SC product candidate for PMD.

Other Myelin Disorders: The company in collaboration with researchers at Oregon Health & Science University, attempting to detect human myelin production by HuCNS-SC cells in the shiverer mouse model using magnetic resonance imaging.

Spinal Cord Injury: Stem cells may have the potential to treat various spinal cord indications. The company is continuing preclinical development on its HuCNS-SC product candidate for various spinal cord indications.

Retinal Disorders: The company has a research collaboration with Oregon Health & Science University Casey Eye Institute to evaluate engraftment and applicability of its HuCNS-SC cells in retinal disorders. It is continuing preclinical studies of its HuCNS-SC cells as a potential treatment for retinal disorders.

Other Neural Collaborations: The company has a research collaborations to assess both the in vitro potential of the HuCNS-SC cells and the effects of transplanting HuCNS-SC cells into preclinical animal models, including a collaboration with researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine to evaluate its human neural stem cells in animal models of stroke.

Liver Program

The company has identified and isolated a cell population that is known as call human liver engrafting cells (hLEC), which can be derived from all types of human livers, including those that would not be suitable for liver transplantation.

Specialty Cell Culture Products

The company’s range of cell culture products, which are sold under the SC Proven brand, includes iSTEM, GS1-R, GS2-M, RHB-A, RHB-Basal, NDiff N2B27, HEScGRO, and ESGROComplete proprietary media.

Licenses with Commercial Entities

NeuroSpheres, Ltd.: The company has a license agreement with NeuroSpheres, Ltd. The company obtained a patent license from NeuroSpheres in the field of transplantation. It has an additional license agreement with NeuroSpheres, under which it obtained a license in the field of non-transplant uses, such as drug discovery and drug testing and clarified rights under NeuroSpheres patents for generating cells of the blood and immune system from neural stem cells.

ReNeuron Limited: The company has an agreement with ReNeuron Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ReNeuron Group plc, (collectively referred to as ReNeuron). As part of the agreement, it granted ReNeuron a license that allows ReNeuron to exploit their ‘c-mycER’ conditionally immortalized adult human neural stem cell technology for therapy and other purposes.

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
