BRAINSTORM CELL THERAPEUTICS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A development stage company)

Notes to the financial statements
 
NOTE 1
GENERAL

 
A.
Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (formerly: Golden Hand Resources Inc.) (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Washington on September 22, 2000.

 
B.
On May 21, 2004, the former major stockholders of the Company entered into a purchase agreement with a group of private investors, who purchased from the former major stockholders 6,880,000 shares of the then issued and outstanding 10,238,000 shares of Common Stock.

 
C.
On July 8, 2004, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Ramot of Tel Aviv University Ltd. ("Ramot"), an Israeli corporation, to acquire certain stem cell technology (see Note 3). Subsequent to this agreement, the Company decided to focus on the development of novel cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease, based on the acquired technology and research to be conducted and funded by the Company.

Following the licensing agreement dated July 8, 2004, the management of the Company decided to abandon all old activities related to the sale of the digital data recorder product. The discontinuation of this activity was accounted for under the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 360-10 (formerly "SFAS" 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".

 
D.
On November 22, 2004, the Company changed its name from Golden Hand Resources Inc. to Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. to better reflect its new line of business in the development of novel cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. BCT owns all operational property and equipment.

 
E.
On October 25, 2004, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Ltd. ("BCT").

 
F.
On December 2006, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Washington to Delaware.

 
G.
On September 17, 2006, the Company's Board determined to change the Company's fiscal year-end from March 31 to December 31.

 
H.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially most of its efforts to research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring assets and raising capital. In addition, the Company has not generated revenues. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and reporting by development Stage Enterprises" ASC 915-10 (formerly "SFAS" 7).

GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s operations for the three months ended on March 31, 2010, resulted in a net loss of $615 and the Company’s balance sheet reflects net stockholders’ equity of $3 and accumulated deficit of $38,356. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue operating as a “going concern” is dependent on several factors, among them is its ability to raise sufficient additional working capital. Management’s plans in this regard include, among others, raising additional cash from current and potential stockholders and lenders.

GENERAL (Cont.)

GOING CONCERN (Cont.)

Accordingly, as a result of the current economic situation and the difficulty to raise immediate fund to support all of the Company’s projects, the Company decided to reduce its activity and focus only on the effort to reach clinical trials in ALS in 2010. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadassah Medical Centre to conduct clinical trails in up to 26 ALS patients in 2010 and raised approximately $1.8 million from investors for this purpose.

The Company also reduced its general and administrative expenses and ceased and delayed some development projects until it obtains sufficient financing. There can be no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated in the future and that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 2     - 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2009, are applied consistently in these financial statements.

The payments described in the waiver and release covered all payment obligations that were past due and not yet due pursuant to the Original Agreement.

In addition, in the event that the "research period," as defined in the Amended Research and License Agreement, is extended for an additional three year period in accordance with the terms of the Amended Research and License Agreement, then the Company is obligated to the following payments to Ramot during the first year of the extended research period:

Payment date
 
Amount
 
       
August 4, 2008
    60  
November 20, 2008
    150  
February 20, 2009
    170  

If the Company fails to make a payment to Ramot on any required payment date, and the Company does not cure the default within seven business days of notice of the default, all claims of Ramot against the Company, which were waived and released by the waiver and release, may be reinstated.

As of December 24, 2009, the Company paid to Ramot the first three payments totaling $400 but did not make the last two payments totaling $240 and for the extended research period.

On December 24, 2009, the Company and Ramot entered into a settlement agreement which also amended the Research and License Agreement in July 8, 2004 and the first and second amendments to the agreement pursuant to which, among others, the following matters were agreed upon:

 
a)
Ramot released the Company from its obligation to fund the extended research period in the total amount of $1,140.Therefore the company deleted an amount in 2009, equal to $ 760 from it research and development expenses that were previously expensed.
.
 
b)
Past due amount of $240 for the initial research period plus interest of $32 owed by the Company to Ramot was converted into 1,120,000 shares of common stock on December 30, 2009. Ramot is required to deposit the shares with a broker and only sell the shares in the free market after 185 days from the issuance date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains numerous statements, descriptions, forecasts and projections, regarding Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. and its potential future business operations and performance. These statements, descriptions, forecasts and projections constitute “forward-looking statements,” and as such involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance and achievements to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance and achievements expressed or implied by any such “forward-looking statements.” Some of these are described under “Risk Factors” in this report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. In some cases you can identify such “forward-looking statements” by the use of words like “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “hopes,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “likely,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of any of these terms or similar words. These “forward-looking statements” are based on certain assumptions that we have made as of the date hereof. To the extent these assumptions are not valid, the associated “forward-looking statements” and projections will not be correct. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these “forward-looking statements” are reasonable, we cannot guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections and beliefs upon which we base our expectations may change prior to the end of each quarter or the year. Although these expectations may change, we may not inform you if they do and we undertake no obligation to do so. We caution investors that our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. In evaluating our business, prospective investors should carefully consider the information set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in addition to the other information set forth herein and elsewhere in our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Company Overview

Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (“Brainstorm” or the “Company”) is a leading company developing stem cell therapeutic products based on breakthrough technologies enabling the in-vitro differentiation of bone marrow stem cells to neural-like cells. We aim to become a leader in adult stem cell transplantation for neurodegenerative diseases. Our focus is on utilizing the patient’s own bone marrow stem cells to generate neuron-like cells that may provide an effective treatment initially for ALS, PD and Multiple Sclerosis.

Our core technology was developed in collaboration with prominent neurologist, Prof. Eldad Melamed, the former head of Neurology of the Rabin Medical Center and member of the Scientific Committee of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and expert cell biologist Prof. Daniel Offen, of the Felsenstein Medical Research Center of Tel Aviv University.

 
28

 

The Company’s team is among the first to demonstrate creation of neurotrophic-factor secreting cells (glial cells) from in-vitro differentiated bone marrow cells that produce neurotrophic factors (“NTF”) including GDNF, BDNF, NGF and IGF-1.

The team is also among the first to have successfully demonstrated release of neurotrophic factors from in-vitro differentiated bone marrow cells. Moreover, in research conducted by this team, implantation of these differentiated cells into brains of animal models that had been induced to Parkinsonian behavior markedly improved their symptoms.

Our aim is to provide neural stem cell transplants that maintain, preserve and restore the damaged and remaining dopaminergic cells in the patient’s brain, protecting them from further degeneration.

The Company holds exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the technology, through a licensing agreement with Ramot, the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University. The agreement also provides for further research, funded by Brainstorm, to be performed by Prof. Melamed, Prof. Offen and members of their research team at the Felsenstein Medical Research Center. The results of this research are licensed to us under the terms of the license agreement.

As a result of limited cash resources and the desire to take a faster path to clinical trials, in the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company determined to focus all of its efforts on ALS, and we are currently not allocating resources towards PD or other neurodegenerative diseases.

On February 17, 2010, a wholly owned Israeli subsidiary of the Company entered into a series of agreements with Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development Ltd., a subsidiary of the Hadassah Medical Organization (“Hadassah”) to conduct clinical trials to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the Company’s treatment using mesenchymal bone marrow stem cells secreting neurotrophic factors in up to 26 ALS patients at the Hadassah Medical Center.  Hadassah’s Institutional Review approved the commencement of such clinical trials, pending approval by the Israel’s Ministry of Health Review Board.

We are going to begin the process of seeking regulatory approval from regulatory agencies in the U.S and Europe. Our efforts are directed at the development of the technology from the lab to the clinic with the following main objectives:
 
    ·
Developing the cell differentiation process according to Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the European agency for evaluation of medical product (“EMEA”) guidelines;
 
·
Demonstrating safety and efficacy in animals and in human patients; and
 
·
 Setting up centralized facilities to provide the therapeutic products and services for transplantation in patients.

Recent Developments

Investment of $250,000
On January 25, 2010, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with Reytalon Ltd, pursuant to which the Company issued (i) 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Reytalon Ltd at a purchase price of $0.20 per share for total gross proceeds of $250,000 paid to the Company and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to an additional 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which warrant is exercisable until January 24, 2012.

Hadassah

On February 17, 2010, a wholly owned Israeli subsidiary of the Company entered into a series of agreements with Hadassah, as described above.  Intellectual property generated through the study will be owned by BrainStorm.  Hadassah will be entitled to use the intellectual property generated through the study for non-commercial purposes. All existing intellectual property of Brainstorm and Hadassah shall be retained by them.

Investment of $1,500,000

On February 17, 2010, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with three individual investors (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investors an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of common stock and two-year warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 in exchange for $1,500,000.

On March 2, 2010, the transaction involving the sale of the shares of common stock and warrants was completed, and the 6,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants or purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued in exchange for the investment of $1,500,000 in the Company.

Results of Operations

The Company has been a development stage company since its inception. For the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until March 31, 2010, the Company has not earned any revenues from operations. The Company does not expect to earn revenues from operations until 2013. In addition, the Company has incurred operating costs and expenses of approximately $609,000 during the three months ending March 31, 2010, and approximately $35,548,000 for the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until March 31, 2010. Operating expenses incurred since inception were approximately $13,624,000 for general and administrative expenses and $21,924,000 for research and development costs.

Research and Development, net:

Research and development expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $239,000 and $289,000, respectively.  The decrease of $50,000 in research and development expenses is primarily due to the fact that the Company recorded $95 as accrued expenses in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 due to the agreement with Ramot. Apart from the recordation of accrued expenses, research and development expenses increased due to expenses related to preparation for clinical trials at the Hadassah Medical Center.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $370,000 and $251,000, respectively. The increase of $119,000 in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the increase in (i) stock-based compensation expenses and (ii) expenses related to public relations and advisors as part of the Company’s efforts to raise funds.

Financial Expenses

Financial expenses increased by $32,000 to expenses of $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from income of $26,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The increase in financial expenses is primarily attributable to the exchange differentials derived from the changes in the exchange rate between the New Israeli Shekel to U.S. dollar. While in the three months ended March 31, 2009, the effect of the exchange differentials contributed finance incomes, in the three months ended March 31, 2010, the effect was negative.

 
30

 

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $615,000, as compared to a net loss of $514,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.01, which was the same as the net loss per share of $0.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in the net loss is mainly due to (i) expenses related to preparation for clinical trials at Hadassah Medical Center (ii) expenses related to public relations and advisors as part of the Company’s efforts to raise funds, (iii) the effect of the exchange differentials between the U.S. dollar and the New Israeli Shekel and (iv) an increase in stock-based compensation expenses. The weighted average number of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 81,560,155, compared to 55,241,418 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was due to (i) the issuance of shares in the private placements, (ii) the conversion of convertible loans and notes, (iii) the exercise of warrants and (iv) the issuance of shares to service providers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through private sales of its common stock and warrants and the issuance of convertible promissory notes. At March 31, 2010, we had $1,364,000 in total current assets and $1,863,000 in total current liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $598,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash used for operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily for Company operations.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash used for investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily for purchasing of equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,808,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and is primarily attributable to funds received from four private investors in return for issuance of shares of common stock and warrants (which are described in more detail below).

Our material cash needs for the next 12 months include the payments due under an agreement with Hadassah to conduct clinical trials in ALS patients, under which we must pay to Hadassah an amount of  (i) up to $38,190 per patient (up to $992,880 in the aggregate) and  (ii) $31,250 per month for rent and the operation of a clean room for cell differentiation for Hadassahs clinical trials.

Our other material cash needs for the next 12 months will include payments of/to (i) employee salaries, (ii) patents, (iii) construction fees for facilities to be used in our research and development and (iv) fees to our consultants and legal advisors.

We had a licensing agreement with Ramot under which we owed approximately $95,000 per quarter.  However, on December 24, 2009, we entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Ramot, pursuant to which, among other things, Ramot agreed to: (i) release the Company from it’s obligation to fund three years of additional research (which would have totaled $1,140,000); and (ii) accept shares of common stock of the Company in lieu of $272,000 is past-due amounts.  Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, to: (i) reimburse Ramot for outstanding patent-related expenses; and (ii) abandon its rights in certain patents of Ramot.

On July 2, 2007, we entered into a subscription agreement with ACCBT Corp., pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue (i) up to 27,500,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate subscription price of up to $5.0 million, and (ii) for no additional consideration, warrants to purchase up to 30,250,000 shares of our common stock. Subject to certain closing conditions, separate closings of the purchase and sale of the shares and the warrants were scheduled to take place from August 30, 2007 through November 15, 2008.

 
31

 

On August 18, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the subscription agreement with ACCBT Corp. (the “Amendment”).  Pursuant to the Amendment: (i) ACCBT Corp. agreed to invest the remaining amount (approximately $1,000,000) under the subscription agreement at a price per share of $0.12 (instead of a price per share of $0.1818) in monthly installments of not less than $50,000 beginning in August 2009; (ii) the exercise price of the final 10,083,334 warrants decreased from $0.36 to $0.29; (iii) the expiration date of all warrants extended from November 5, 2011 to November 5, 2013; and (iv) the purchase price per share of all 27,500,000 shares purchased pursuant to the subscription agreement decreased from $0.1818 to $0.12, which repricing applied retroactively to all shares purchased by ACCBT Corp. prior to the Amendment.

On January 25, 2010, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with Reytalon Ltd, pursuant to which the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Reytalon Ltd at a purchase price of $0.20 per share for total gross proceeds of $250,000 paid to the Company and a warrant to purchase up to an additional 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and which is exercisable until January 24, 2012.

On February 17, 2010, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with three individual investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investors an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of common stock and two-year warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 in exchange for $1,500,000.  On March 2, 2010, the transaction was completed and the Company received the $1,500,000 investment.

We will need to raise substantial additional capital in order to meet our anticipated expenses. If we are not able to raise substantial additional capital, we may not be able to continue to function as a going concern and we may have to cease operations. Even if we obtain funding sufficient to continue functioning as a going concern, we will be required to raise a substantial amount of capital in the future in order to reach profitability and to complete the commercialization of our products. Our ability to fund these future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:
 
 
·
our ability to obtain funding from third parties, including any future collaborative partners;

 
·
the scope, rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development programs;

 
·
the time and costs required to gain regulatory approvals;

 
·
the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;

 
·
the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patents, patent applications, patent claims, trademarks and other intellectual property rights;

 
·
the effect of competition and market developments; and

 
·
future pre-clinical and clinical trial results.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate our judgments, estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on the terms of underlying agreements, our expected course of development, historical experience and other factors we believe are reasonable based on the circumstances, the results of which form our management’s basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. For information about critical accounting policies, see the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

This information has been omitted as the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who also currently serves as our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management identified the following material weaknesses in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, which continued to exist as of March 31, 2010:
 
 
·
The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements. Specifically, our former Chief Financial Officer handled all accounting issues of the Company alone as the Company terminated the Company’s accountant as part of the downsizing of the Company’s staff.
 
·
Due to the decrease in the Company’s activities and limited cash resources, the Company manually inputs all purchase and order activities and confirmation process instead of via an ERP system.
 
Since December 31, 2009, the Company has engaged a part-time accountant.
 
33

 

In addition, on March 21, 2010, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, David Stolick, tendered his resignation to the Company in order to pursue other opportunities.  Mr. Stolick’s resignation was effective as of April 6, 2010.  The Company is currently searching for a successor to Mr. Stolick.  As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, our Chief Executive Officer was performing the duties of the Principal Financial Officer of the Company.

Nevertheless, based on a number of factors, including the performance of additional procedures performed by management designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer believes that the consolidated financial statements included with this quarterly report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

The Company is currently searching for a new Chief Financial Officer.  In addition, the Company has engaged a new part-time accountant and plans to develop policies and procedures for training of personnel or external advisers to verify that we have a sufficient number of personnel with knowledge, experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our financial reporting and U.S. GAAP requirements. Where necessary, we will supplement personnel with qualified external advisors. Additionally, where appropriate, we plan to identify training on accounting principles and procedures that would benefit our accounting and finance personnel.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting were identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting other than those remedial actions disclosed above.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

For a description of legal proceedings affecting the Company refer to Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. There were no material developments to the legal proceedings affecting the Company in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010.

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business, which we consider routine and incidental to our business. We currently are not a party to any material legal proceedings, other than as described in Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
