Overview
We are a commercial stage biotechnology company focused on immunology, urology, neurology and orthopedics using adult stem cell treatments and interrelated regenerative technologies for the treatment of multiple indications. Our existing and pipeline of therapies and products include of the following:
Our subsidiary, Creative Medical Technologies, Inc. (“CMT”), was originally created to monetize U.S. Patent No. 8,372,797 and related intellectual property related to the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which it acquired in February 2016. Subsequently, we have expanded our development and acquisition of intellectual property beyond urology to include therapeutic treatments utilizing “re-programmed” stem cells, and the treatment of neurologic disorders, lower back pain, type I diabetes, and heart, liver, kidney and other diseases using various types of stem cells through our ImmCelz, Inc., StemSpine, Inc. and AmnioStem LLC subsidiaries. However, neither ImmCelz Inc., StemSpine Inc. nor AmnioStem LLC have commenced commercial activities.
We currently conduct substantially all of our commercial operations through CMT, which markets and sells our CaverStem® and FemCelz® disposable kits utilized by physicians to perform autologous procedures that treat erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction, respectively. Our CaverStem® and FemCelz® kits are currently available through physicians at eight locations in the United States.
The Company has produced an allogenic Cell Line called AlloStem™, which includes a Master Cell Bank and a Drug Master File which shall be submitted for FDA registration. This is an important component to many of our programs, including, but not limited to, the ImmCelz® immunotherapy platform for multiple diseases, OvaStem® for Premature Ovarian Failure, AlloStem™ for Type 1 diabetes, StemSpine® for lower back pain, and IPSCelz ™ inducible pluripotent stem cell program in ongoing development with Greenstone Biosciences.
The Company is working with Greenstone Biosciences Inc. in Palo Alto, CA to develop a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) pipeline for the Company's ImmCelz® platform. The project is identified as iPScelzTM. Human iPSc's are genetically reprogrammed to differentiate into a wide array of human cell and tissue types, possess the ability to proliferate almost indefinitely in culture, and represent a single source of cells that could be used to replace those lost to damage or disease. Beyond the therapeutic benefits offered by iPSC, the next generation iPScelzTM pipeline for ImmCelz® will enable the ability for large scale production and sustainability, while helping to reduce long term costs of manufacturing.
On November 3, 2022 the Company announced he U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the Company's Investigational New Drug (IND) application, enabling the Company to proceed with initiating a clinical trial for Type 1 Diabetes using AlloStem™ AlloStem™ leverages a unique approach to harnessing the power of Perinatal Tissue Derived Cells® (PRDC) to multi-potentialities, including self-renewal ability, low antigenicity, reduced toxicity, and large-scale clinical expansion. The primary objective of the study (CELZ-201) is to evaluate AlloStem™ in patients with newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes. Patient recruitment is expected to begin in Q1 2023 with trial commencement updates to follow.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
