Dodd, Chairman of SCS plc +1 678 641 4029 George Murphy, General Manager North America +1 415 495 7340 Notes to Editors Stem Cell Sciences plc (SCS, AIM: STEM, ASX: STC) is a global biotechnology company providing stem cells and cell culture media to the burgeoning stem cell research market. Stem Cell Sciences' long term objective is to develop safe and effective cell-based therapies for currently incurable diseases. SCS retains all rights to its technology for therapeutic use and is targeting cell-based therapies for neurodegenerative disease and injury. Revenues from Stem Cell Sciences' research business are delivered via an integrated network of business teams and regional offices in Edinburgh and Cambridge (UK), Melbourne (Australia) and San Francisco (USA). This global reach provides the Company with the direct access to markets through experienced personnel and local business networks needed to drive SCS business growth in each region. The key challenge for the successful application of stem cells in both research and clinical applications is the reproducible supply of pure, fully characterized stem cells and stem cell-derived specialised cells such as nerves and muscle. This represents a significant technological challenge that will require access to multiple technologies and a globally integrated stem cell initiative. To access cutting edge technologies on a rapid and on-going basis, Stem Cell Sciences has built a network of interactive collaborations with academic centres of excellence in the stem cell field. These collaborations have been the source of our founding technologies and continue to provide an expanding pipeline of products and intellectual property that are central to the Company's strategy and success. To facilitate research and technology transfer with its major collaborating academic institutions, Stem Cell Sciences' business and scientific teams are usually co-located on site or adjacent to the centre of excellence in independent company facilities. The Company's key collaborating institutes include the Wellcome Trust Centre for Stem Cell Research (University of Cambridge), the Institute of Stem Cell Research (University of Edinburgh), RIKEN Centre for Developmental Biology (Kobe) and the Australian Stem Cell Centre (Melbourne). Academic and commercial use of stem cells in basic research and drug discovery provides the Company with revenue streams offsetting the costs of technology development. For further information on the company please visit: www.stemcellsciences.com Chairman's and Chief Executive's Statement The first half of 2007 has seen a number of exciting developments throughout the Company, providing confidence in the growth and development prospects for Stem Cell Sciences plc. In April the Company dual listed on the Australian Stock Exchange raising £4.8 million/AU$12 million. The placement was oversubscribed and received excellent support from the Australian investment community. The Company expanded its US based business team and, separately, appointed additional scientific staff to accelerate development of key product opportunities. While revenues were slightly below those for the same period last year, the Company believes the pharmaceutical research and development market for SCS' products is expanding and that the Company will deliver increased revenues this year. The validation of our core competency in industrial scale stem cell production is attracting new pharmaceutical company business interest. Key uses for the technology include target identification and validation studies, as well as small molecule library screening applications. In February we announced an agreement with Merck & Co. for the use of our proprietary rodent neural stem (NS) cell technology and cell culture media. The agreement is progressing well and the upfront licence fee is recorded in revenues reported for the first six months of 2007. Ongoing discussions with a range of pharmaceutical companies are expected to expand licensing and revenue opportunities related to these cells. At the same time, the successful development of automated cell production systems and creation of assay-ready formats provides the option of cell-based assay supply to customers. The ability to have a consistent and high quality set of cell lines enables expansion of in-house use, such as our participation in collaborative European Union FP VI projects, as well as core internal research activities. Our assay development team is developing miniaturised format, 384 well plates, to meet market demand to enable faster throughput and more data points per day. The ability to supply stem cells for large scale compound library screening is becoming a reality. Reproducible, large scale production of stem cells and stem cell-derived products is a key requirement for commercial success and a highly competitive area within which SCS is focused on achieving market leadership. The significant investment in 2006 made in our automated, large-scale cell production facility in Cambridge, UK, as well as proprietary stem cell culture and differentiation media has been successful. Human and mouse stem cell lines have now been successfully adapted to automated growth and differentiation on the platform. At the same time, SCS continues to build strongly on its core competency in the neural cell field, and expects to launch its human NS cell platform in the fourth quarter of 2007. Robust stem cell supply is also essential to realizing the Company's longer term objective to be a leading supplier of stem cell based therapeutics. The Company supported two proof of concept animal studies to investigate potential value of its propriety neural stem cells in the treatment of spinal cord injury and eye disease. While both studies provided evidence of recovery of function in cell transplanted animals, and none showed any evidence of unregulated cell proliferation or tumor formation, some results were not statistically significant and the Company will need to undertake further analysis of the research. In January we launched the second product bearing the Company's SC Proven(R) trademark with our manufacturing and distribution partner Millipore Corporation. This product, HEScGRO(TM), is the first commercially available animal component-free medium tested successfully for human embryonic stem cell culture and shown to maintain human embryonic stem cells in their undifferentiated state. The strong growth of research into human stem cells now underway is expected to generate significant growth in sales of HEScGRO(TM) in the coming years. During the year, through the SC Services division, the conversion of refractory mouse embryonic stem cell lines from serum and feeder based protocols to serum free and feeder free growth conditions took place. This improvement provides significant benefits to the efficient production of mice with knocked out genes, which are valuable in drug discovery. The Company also continues to develop its specialized stem cell contract research activities, identified by the Company as offering revenue growth prospects in this emerging field. Large scale production of stem cells remains a significant challenge for the biomedical industry. SCS continues to build on its capabilities in this area so that it can successfully become a leader in the automated production of stem cell-based products. The Company's prospects for successful scale up and associated control of a substantial portion of the human ES cell market were further improved this year through an exclusive in-licensing of a breakthrough technology that is expected to greatly improve industrial scale production (ROCK inhibitor technology, announced 19/6/07). SCS is now undertaking commercial development of the technology. The first half of 2007 has also seen potentially revolutionary advances in other areas of the ES cell field with three groups confirming that they can produce the mouse ES cells by simply adding four genes to adult skin cells. Such an approach, if reproduced in human cells, would eliminate the need to source ES cells from human embryos and thereby bypass the ethical concerns that some groups currently have in this field. Two of the published research teams use SCS proprietary technology in achieving their results and the Company continues to support the efforts of academic researchers in the field. IFRS Reporting Stem Cell Sciences plc has adopted the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in its Group reporting from the beginning of 2007. As of the 1 January 2007, Stem Cell Sciences has prepared its Interim Reports applying the recognition and valuation principles of the IFRS standards. The comparative figures in respect of the interim period ended 30 June 2006 and the year ended 31 December 2006 have been restated to reflect the adoption of these standards, the transition date being 1 January 2006. Financial Review: For the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Company received revenues of £0.5m/ AU$1.25m (2006:£0.5m), which comprised of £0.15m SC Proven; £0.03m SC Services and £0.3m SC Licensing. Other operating income of £0.16m (2006: £0.2m) represented grant income. Total revenue for the comparable half year to 2006 remained stable and proved revenue streams from the business units. Loss before tax for the six months was £1.75m (2006:£1.12m) and the loss per share was 6.3p (2006:5.0p). With the expansion of the US based business team and investment in strengthening the IP portfolio through in-licensing Admin expenses for the comparative six month period to 2006 have increased. Similarly, with the opening of the Cambridge site Research expenses have increased to £0.8m for the period. Cash balances at 30 June 2007 were £5.3m/AU$13.25m (2006: £3.5m) Post Period Events: Since the half year end Stem Cell Sciences received notification from the US Patent and Trade Mark Office (USPTO) that one of its key patents had been granted in the USA with expanded claims relating to stem cell selection. Claims granted to SCS by the USPTO cover all methods of purifying any type of mammalian stem cell via any introduced gene and all stem cells purified by the method. With the ever increasing importance of stem cells in the US biopharmaceutical industry, the extension of SCS' patent position reinforces a key income stream and productivity advantage held by the Company. In a post period announcement, SCS reported a restructuring of its commercial relationship with its associate company SCS KK in Kobe, Japan. The technology buy-back and rights exchange means that, with some minor exceptions, SCS now holds the exclusive right to commercialize all its technology on a global basis. Rights to commercialize certain SCS KK technologies, including the right to commercialize therapeutic products based on SCS KK's adipose-derived stem cell technology outside of Asia, were returned to SCS KK in the exchange. SCS plc retains all its existing rights to commercialize adipose-derived stem cells in the basic and applied research markets. Outlook: The progress made over the past six months indicates that stem cell discovery is advancing at an ever increasing pace. SCS believes that progress in basic and applied stem cell research is providing two fundamental incentives for growing pharmaceutical industry investment - a new source of leads for potential new drugs, and the opportunity to screen for additional leads using stem cell based assays produced at industrial scale. With our mouse NS cell platform established, and the license with Merck progressing well, we expect to see a wider customer base emerging for an expanding range of products offered by SCS. All products are progressing well through the development pipeline with the launch of our human NS cell platform expected for Q4 this year, adipose cell and bone cell platform to follow shortly thereafter. A core competency in large scale production of high quality stem cells and stem cell derived products is central to SCS' business. With the infrastructure and biological processes now in place for our first cell lines, we expect to see growing interest and a widening of our customer base. The Company expects to continue its cautious approach to investigating the cell-based therapy potential of its NS cell platform in collaboration with academic centres of excellence in selected therapeutic fields; providing primarily technological support and low level cash investment. Overall, SCS expects faster growth across most sectors of the stem cell research market, with large industry seeking a mixture of licensing of in-house developments as well as more strategic alliances with expert providers of stem cells and stem cell technologies.

Basis of Preparation These interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts and are unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements of Stem Cell Sciences plc have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and are covered by International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS, because they are part of the period covered by the group's first IFRS financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2007. The policies set out below have been consistently applied to all the periods presented and will apply for the full year. Consolidated financial statements of Stem Cell Sciences plc until 31 December 2006 have been prepared in accordance with U.K. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.K. GAAP). UK GAAP differs in certain respects from IFRS. When preparing the consolidated interim financial statements for 2007, management has amended certain accounting, valuation and consolidation methods applied in the U.K. GAAP financial statements to comply for IFRS. In the current period, the group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2006. The change in accounting policy relates to research and development expenditure. Research and development costs include personnel charges in respect of persons working wholly or exclusively on process or product development. Under UK GAAP, expenditure on research and development was written off to the income statement in the period in which it was incurred. Under IFRS, expenditure on research is written off to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred and development expenditure is capitalised as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate all of the following criteria: • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale. • It's intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it. • It's ability to use or sell the intangible asset. • How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. • The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset. • Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. This change in accounting policy has had no financial impact on these interim financial statements. There have been no other changes to accounting policies. The comparative figures in respect of the interim period ended 30 June 2006 and the year ended 31 December 2006 have been restated to reflect these adjustments. Reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of the transition from UK GAAP to IFRS on the group's equity and its net income are given in note 5 to the interim statements. Comparative U.K. GAAP figures for the year ended 31 December 2006 have been extracted from the statutory accounts of the Company on which the auditors gave an unqualified report and which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. 2.
