EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2005 to include an amended and restated Item 9A and the related "Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm," required by Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K as permitted by paragraph (b) of the conditions of the Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting an Exemption from Specified Provisions of Exchange Act Rules 13a-1 and 15d-1 (Release No. 34-50754, November 30, 2004).

This Amendment does not affect the consolidated financial statements or notes thereto originally included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 15, 2005, or change the information included in any sections of that Annual Report on Form 10-K except for the restatement of Item 9A as set forth below. Additionally, this Amendment does not affect the original financial statements or footnotes as originally filed. This amendment does not reflect events occurring after the original filing of the Form 10-K, and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way other than as required to reflect the amendment as described above and set forth below. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the original Annual Report on Form 10-K, including any amendments to those filings.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, our management evaluated, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the date of such evaluation to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A was being prepared.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for our financial reporting. We have assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. Our assessment was based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (COSO Framework).

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of assets;

2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and board of directors; and

3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2), or combination of control deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2004, we have identified five material weaknesses, which are described further below.

•: The Company's accounting systems and control procedures, including certain control procedures that are depended on the review of the Company's accounting by management, were inadequate to insure that certain indirect costs associated with the production process were properly classified in the Company's financial statements. As a result the Company improperly classified as selling, general and administrative expenses approximately $3.1 million in costs incurred during 2004 associated with the production of patient injections in the United Kingdom. These costs should have been classified as costs of goods sold. This misstatement was corrected before the issuance of Company consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed March 15, 2005.
•: The Company failed to perform certain control procedures designed to ensure that the financial statement presentations and related disclosures were complete and in accordance with GAAP. As a result of this weakness, the Company did not identify that approximately $51.8 million of marketable debt securities were improperly included in cash and cash equivalents instead of being separately presented as short term investments. This misstatement was corrected before the issuance of Company consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed March 15, 2005.
•: The Chief Financial Officer is actively involved in the preparation of the financial statements, and therefore cannot provide an independent review and quality assurance function within the accounting and financial reporting group.
•: The number of qualified accounting personnel with experience in public company SEC reporting and GAAP is extremely limited. There is a risk that a material misstatement of the financial statements could be caused, or at least not be detected in a timely manner, by this shortage of qualified resources. As a result of this weakness, the Company improperly accounted for its investments in marketable securities as discussed above, made certain errors in the preparation of its income tax disclosures, improperly classified as selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed above and under accrued certain costs related to the closure of its Australian operations. These misstatements were corrected before the issuance of Company consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed March 15, 2005.
•: The Company lacks effective controls to prevent or detect fraud, including that insuring that transactions are properly authorized, in a timely manner. This material weakness exists because of the aggregate effect of multiple significant deficiencies in internal control which affect the Company's fraud detection and prevention controls, including: a) a failure to effectively implement, follow, and enforce the limits on the delegation of authority for expenditure from

the Board of Directors to management, including the failure by management to obtain the required Board approvals for certain expenditures; b) the lack of an effective risk assessment process for the identification of fraud risks; c) a failure to ensure the consistent and timely completion of employee acknowledgments of the Company's Code of Ethics required by Company policy; d) the lack of an internal audit function or other effective mechanism for ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness of internal controls.

Based on the material weaknesses described above and the criteria set forth by the COSO Framework, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2004 was not effective.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP, has issued an attestation report on management's assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. That report appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Isolagen, Inc.
Exton, Pennsylvania

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Isolagen, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because of the effect of material weaknesses identified in management's assessment, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Isolagen Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management's assessment:

1): Ineffective controls over financial reporting resulting in the reclassification of certain production costs from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2004 and all prior periods.
2): Ineffective application of generally accepted accounting principles in relation to marketable securities, resulting in adjustments to the Company's financial statements and disclosures.
3): The inability of the Chief Financial Officer to provide an independent review and quality assurance function within the accounting and financial reporting group.
4): Lack of qualified accounting personnel with expertise with SEC reporting and generally accepted accounting principles.
5): Lack of effective controls to prevent or detect fraud in a timely manner.

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, and this report does not affect our report dated March 14, 2005 on those financial statements.

In our opinion, management's assessment that Isolagen, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Isolagen, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
