INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors of

Q Therapeutics, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Q Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from March 28, 2002 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Q Therapeutics, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from March 28, 2002 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.	Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Organization Q Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on March 28, 2002 as a Delaware corporation. The Company is a development stage company in the process of developing a product to treat debilitating and fatal diseases of the central nervous system.

		Development Stage For the period from March 28, 2002 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010, the Company has not generated any significant revenues and has been developing its product. Therefore, the Company is considered to be in the development stage in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities. As required by ASC Topic 915, cumulative amounts have been presented for the period from March 28, 2002 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010.

		Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Key management estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, useful lives for property and equipment, valuation allowances for net deferred income tax assets, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

		Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $172,198 of cash that exceeded federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced a loss or lack of access to its invested cash; however, no assurance can be provided that access to the Company’s invested cash will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

		Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities to the Company of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

1.	Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued	Grants Receivable The Company applies for research grants generally as a sub-recipient to grants funded by government agencies through research universities. The Company records its grants receivable in accordance with the provisions of the grant agreement. The Company’s grants receivable are considered past due when payment has not been received within 30 days of the invoice date. The amounts of the specific reserves are estimated by management based on various assumptions including the age of the individual grant receivable, and changes in payment schedules and histories. Grants receivable balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful grants receivable when the potential for recovery is remote. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded when payment is received.

		Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets or over the related lease term (if shorter) as follows:

	Lab equipment	5 years
	Computers and software	3 years
	Leasehold improvements	7 years
	Office equipment and furniture	3 years

			Expenditures that materially increase values or capacities or extend useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance, repairs, and renewal costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

			Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its property and equipment, and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. If it is determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. Management does not consider any of the Company’s assets to be impaired as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

1.	Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued	Leases The Company leases its facilities under operating leases. For leases that contain rent escalation or rent concession provisions, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company records any difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent as a deferred rent liability in the accompanying balance sheets.

		Stock-Based Compensation The Company calculates the estimated fair value of its stock options and warrants on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes the estimated fair value as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is based on the volatility of public trading companies in the same industry as the Company. The expected term of the options and warrants granted represent the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option and warrant is based on the U.S. treasury securities constant maturity rate that corresponds to the expected term in effect at the time of grant.

		Income Taxes The Company is a C-corporation and federal and state income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income (loss) in the period that includes the enactment date.

		Uncertain Tax Positions The Company recognizes the financial statement amount of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the amount expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as a general and administrative expense. The Company currently has no federal or state examinations in progress. The Company’s tax years subject to federal and state tax examination are 2007, 2008, and 2009.

			As of December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards available to offset future taxable income, if any, of approximately $13,409,000, which will begin to expire in 2022.

			The Company has research and development credits totaling approximately $213,000 available for offset against future federal income tax. The credits begin to expire in 2028.

			The utilization of the NOL carryforwards is subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 imposes limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards if it experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period.

Rights and Preferences of Convertible Series A1, A2, and B Preferred Stock – Continued

Redemption rights – At any time after the fifth anniversary of the series B preferred stock original issue date (February 14, 2008), at the written election of the holders of the majority of the series B preferred stock, the Company shall redeem all outstanding shares of series B preferred stock in three annual installments with the first installment within 30 days after the Company receives the notice of the call for redemption and the second and third installment on the first and second anniversaries of such dates. In addition, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the series B preferred stock, at the written election of two thirds of the holders of the series A2 preferred stock, the Company shall redeem all outstanding shares of series A2 preferred stock in three annual installments with the first installment within 30 days after the Company receives the notice of the call for redemption and the second and third installment on the first and second anniversaries of such dates.

In the event of a redemption call, all series B and A2 preferred shares shall be redeemed at the respective series original issue price, plus all dividends declared but unpaid.

The preferred stock is not mandatorily redeemable and thus has been recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet as management believes the redemption of the convertible series preferred stock to not be probable.

Conversion rights – Each share of preferred stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance into the number of common shares determined by dividing the original issue price for the relevant series by the conversion price for such series. In addition, shares of each series of preferred stock shall automatically convert as certain events occur.
