Aastrom Biosciences Reports Quarterly Operating Results
Preparing for Phase 3 critical limb ischemia clinical program
Company to present Phase 2b CLI interim data at a VEITHsymposium
satellite session on November 18 at 1:00 p.m. (ET)
Ann Arbor, MI, November 8, 2010 (6:50 a.m. ET) Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTM), a
leading developer of expanded autologous cellular therapies for the treatment of severe
cardiovascular diseases, today reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30,
2010. The company will hold a conference call to discuss these results at 9:30 a.m. (ET) today;
log-in and dial-in information are listed at the end of this announcement.
This is an exciting time for Aastrom. We have made significant progress in our late-stage
clinical development programs. We received Fast Track designation, and submitted documents in
support of a special protocol assessment (SPA) for our Phase 3 CLI program. We also established a
new partnership with ATEK Medical that will enable us to grow and further advance our cell cassette
manufacturing capabilities. Finally, we strengthened our management team and Board with industry
veterans who will provide important counsel as we move forward, said Tim Mayleben, president and
CEO of Aastrom Biosciences.
Aastrom will present data from an interim analysis of its Phase 2b RESTORE-CLI clinical trial at a
VEITHsymposium non-CME satellite session on November 18 at 1:00 p.m. (ET). This event will
include a webcast presentation by Dr. Richard Powell, RESTORE-CLI Principal Investigator, and a Q&A
session with Dr. Powell, CEO Tim Mayleben and Dr. Sharon Watling, vice president clinical and
regulatory at Aastrom Biosciences. Details on the webcast and conference call, including log-in
and dial-in information, will be made available at www.aastrom.com/investor.cfm approximately one
week before the event.

Operating Results for the Quarter ended September 30, 2010
As of September 30, 2010, the company had a total of approximately $14.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents, compared to $19.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at June
30, 2010. The primary use of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during the quarter
ended September 30, 2010 was to finance operations, working capital requirements and capital
expenditures.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $4.2 million,
compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was associated with
preparations for the Phase 3 CLI development program.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $1.7
million, compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2009. This change is due to a $0.4
million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense with the remainder primarily due to
higher employee expenses and general consulting.
Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $5.8 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to
a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.18 per share, for the same period in 2009. The increase in net
loss is due to the fluctuations in research and development expenses and selling, general and
administrative expenses as described above. Loss per share comparisons were impacted by the
issuance of 6.5 million shares of common stock on January 21, 2010.
