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.

 
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.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all 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 nine months ended on September 30, 2010, resulted in a net loss of $1,933 and the Company’s balance sheet reflects net stockholders’ equity of ($623) and accumulated deficit of $39,674. 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.

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

Notes to the financial statements

NOTE 1  -  GENERAL (Cont.)

GOING CONCERN (Cont.)

As a result of the current economic situation and the difficulty raising immediately available funds to support all of the Company’s projects, the Company decided to reduce its activity and focus only on the effort to commence clinical trials in ALS amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2010. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadassah Medical Centre to conduct clinical trials in up to 26 ALS patients in 2010. In 2010 the Company raised approximately $2.1 million from investors for this purpose.

In October 2010 the Israeli Ministry of Health granted clearance for a Phase I/II clinical trial using the Company’s autologous NurOwn™ stem cell therapy in patients with ALS, subject to some additional process specifications as well as completion of the sterility validation study for tests performed (see Note 8). This clearance is a significant milestone for the Company and may expedite further fund raisings.

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.

NOTE 3  -  UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format and include the consolidated financial operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary as of September 30, 2010 and for the nine months then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 4  -  RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

The Company has a Research and License Agreement, as amended and restated, with Ramot. The Company obtained a waiver and release from Ramot pursuant to which Ramot agreed to an amended payment schedule regarding the Company's payment obligations under the Research and License Agreement and waived all claims against the Company resulting from the Company's previous defaults and non-payment under the Research and License Agreement. The waiver and release amended and restated the original payment schedule under the original agreement providing for payments during the initial research period and additional payments for any extended research period.

As of December 24, 2009, the Company had paid to Ramot $400 but did not make payments totaling $240 for the initial research period and payments totaling $380 for the extended research period.

On December 24, 2009, the Company and Ramot entered into a settlement agreement which amended the Research and License Agreement, as amended and restated pursuant to which, among other things, 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 amounts 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 was required to deposit the shares with a broker and only sell the shares in the open market after 185 days from the issuance date.

In the event that the total proceeds generated by sales of the shares are less than $120 on or prior to September 30, 2010 ("September Payment"), then on such date the Company shall pay to Ramot the difference between the aggregate proceeds that have been received by Ramot up to such date, and $120.  In the event that the total proceeds generated by sales of the shares on December 31, 2010, together with the September 30, 2010 payment, are less than $240 on or prior to December 31, 2010, then on such date the Company shall pay to Ramot the difference between the proceeds that Ramot has received from sales of the shares up to such date together with the September Payment (if any) that has been transferred to Ramot up to such date, and $240. As of September 30, 2010, the total proceeds generated by Ramot’s sale of shares was $84 (See Note 8b).

NOTE 5  -  CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

 
  A.
On July 8, 2004, the Company entered into two consulting agreements with Prof. Eldad Melamed and Dr. Daniel Offen (together, the "Consultants"), under which the Consultants provide the Company scientific and medical consulting services in consideration for a monthly payment of $6 each. In addition, the Company granted each of the Consultants, a fully vested warrant to purchase 1,097,215 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants issued pursuant to the agreement were issued to the Consultants effective as of November 4, 2004. Each of the warrants is exercisable for a seven-year period beginning on November 4, 2005. As of September 2010, all the above warrants had been exercised.

 
  B.
As of September 30, 2010, the Company has a total obligation of $451 for services rendered by the Consultants under the abovementioned agreements.

NOTE 6  -  SHORT-TERM LOANS

In March 2007, the Company issued a $150 convertible note to a lender, with an annual interest rate of 8% for the first year, with an increase up to 10% after the first year. On January 27, 2010, the lender converted the entire accrued principal and interest of $189 into 1,016,109 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Since the outcome of the issuance of the shares was to relieve the debtor from its obligation, based on guidance in ASC 860-10 (formerly FASB No 140) and ASC 450-20 Extinguishment of Liabilities” the Company derecognized the liability with the difference recognized in earnings.

 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.

The Company’s team is among the first to developglial–like cells secreting neurotrophic factors (“NTF”) including GDNF, BDNF from in-vitro propagated bone marrow cells.
 
Moreover, in research conducted by this team, implantation of these differentiated NTF secreting cells into brains of animal models that had been induced to Parkinsonian behavior, markedly improved their symptoms.

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

 
30

 

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 of the Company’s treatment using mesenchymal bone marrow stem cells secreting neurotrophic factors in ALS patients at the Hadassah Medical Center. Hadassah’s Institutional Review Board approved the commencement of such clinical trials, pending approval by the Israel’s Ministry of Health.

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 in compliance with the US 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

Brainstorm has initiated pilot manufacturing runs at the Hadassah Medical Center facility under good manufacturing practice standards, in preparation of producing clinical trial materials for Phase I/II clinical trial for ALS patients.

In October 2010, the Israeli Ministry of Health (“MOH”) granted clearance for a Phase I/II clinical trial using the Company’s autologous NurOwn™ stem cell therapy in patients with ALS. The clearance granted by the MOH to  initiate the clinical trials is subject to some additional process specifications as well as completion of a sterility validation study for tests performed in the course of the process (in process controls) and at the end of the process. The sterility validation study report will be submitted to the MOH for approval.

Results of Operations

The Company has been a development stage company since its inception. For the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until September 30, 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 other expenses of approximately $1,909,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and approximately $39,433,000 for the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until September 30, 2010. Operating expenses incurred since inception were approximately $14,156,000 for general and administrative expenses and $22,643,000 for research and development costs.

Research and Development, net:

Research and development expenses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $958,000 and $774,000, respectively. Research and development expenses, net for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $371,000 and $275,000, respectively.

The increase in research and development expenses for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to: (i) rent of clean rooms from Hadassah and (ii) the increase in development activities, including tests required for clinical trials. This increase was partly offset by a reduction in compensation expenses for options granted to subcontractors and employees.
 
General and Administrative:
 
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $902,000 and $883,000, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $264,000 and $318,000, respectively.

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 is primarily due to an increase in public relations, outside legal and tax consultant fees. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to a reduction in (i) compensation expenses for options granted to employees and (ii) consulting costs.

Financial Expenses:

Financial expenses increased by $28,000 to $49,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from expenses of $21,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Financial expenses increased by $17,000 to $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from expenses of $28,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The increase in financial expenses is primarily attributable to the exchange differentials ensuing from the changes in the exchange rate between the New Israeli Shekel to U.S. dollar in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Net Loss:

Net loss for the nine months ended on September 30, 2010 was $1,933,000, as compared to a net loss of $1,678,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.02, as compared to a net loss per share of $0.03 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

The weighted average number of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 87,592,831, compared to 58,327,655 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $704,000, as compared to a net loss of $621,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.01, the same as for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

 
32

 

The weighted average number of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 91,606,177, compared to 60,390,796 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The increase in the weighted average number of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was due to (i) the issuance of shares in a private placement, (ii) the conversion of convertible loans, (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 September 30, 2010, we had $869,000 in total current assets and $1,909,000 in total current liabilities.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,522,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash used for operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily attributed to an increase in rent, outside legal fee expenses and public relations expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,273,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 operation of the GMP facility in anticipation of Hadassah's clinical trials.
 
Our other material cash needs for the next 12 months will include payments of (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 in past-due amounts. As of November 6, 2010, Ramot exercised shares of Common Stock of the Company for $178,000. 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.

 
33

 

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.

 
34

 

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 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 and Chief 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 Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weakness 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 Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management identified the following material weakness in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, which continued to exist as of September 30, 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.
 
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 Chief Financial Officer believe 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.

 
35

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

Subject to the Company’s ability to raise sufficient funds, we plan 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

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 additional material developments to the legal proceedings affecting the Company in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 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.

Other than with respect to the risk factors below, there have not been any material changes from 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. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below and inour 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.

We have limited experience in conducting and managing clinical trials and the application process necessary to obtain regulatory approvals. The Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH) has granted us clearance for a Phase I/II clinical trial using our autologous NurOwn™ stem cell therapy in patients with ALS, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease. We are the first company to receive clearance from the MOH for a differentiated stem cell-based therapy in Israel. The Phase I/II clinical trial will be conducted in cooperation with the world-renowned Hadassah Medical Center and will be conducted by a joint team headed by the principal investigator Dimitrios Karussis, M.D., Ph.D., of the Hadassah Medical Center, and a scientific team from the Company headed by Prof. Eldad Melamed. The initial phase of the study is designed to establish the safety of NurOwn™ and will later be expanded to assess efficacy.  The trial is expected to begin following validation of sterility tests requested by the MOH and screening of patients for the trial.

Our limited experience in conducting and managing clinical trials and the application process necessary to obtain regulatory approvals might prevent us from successfully designing or implementing a preclinical study or clinical trial. Cell-based therapy products, in general, may be susceptible to various risks, including undesirable and unintended side effects, unintended immune system responses, inadequate therapeutic efficacy or other characteristics that may prevent or limit their approval by regulators or commercial use. Many companies in the industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, despite promising results in earlier trials. If our clinical trials are unsuccessful, or if we do not complete our clinical trials, we may not receive regulatory approval for or be able to commercialize our product candidates.

If we do not succeed in conducting and managing our preclinical development activities or clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, we might not be able to commercialize our product candidates, or might be significantly delayed in doing so, which will materially harm our business. 

Our ability to generate revenues from any of our product candidates will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to successfully complete clinical trials, obtain necessary regulatory approvals and implement our commercialization strategy. In addition, even if we are successful in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and bringing one or more product candidates to market, we will be subject to the risk that the marketplace will not accept those products. We may, and anticipate that we will need to, transition from a company with a research and development focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities and we may not succeed in such a transition.

We have not yet received final approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH), the FDA or any similar foreign regulatory authority for any indication. We cannot market any product candidate until regulatory agencies grant approval or licensure. In order to obtain regulatory approval for the sale of any product candidate, we must, among other requirements, provide the MOH, the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities with preclinical and clinical data that demonstrate to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities that our product candidates are safe and effective for each indication under the applicable standards relating to such product candidate. The preclinical studies and clinical trials of any product candidates must comply with the regulations of the MOH, the FDA and other governmental authorities in the United States and similar agencies in other countries.

We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, the clinical trial process that could delay or prevent regulatory approval and/or commercialization of our product candidates, including the following:
 
 
-
The FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities may find that our product candidates are not sufficiently safe or effective or may find our processes or facilities unsatisfactory;
 
-
Officials at the MOH, the FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities may interpret data from preclinical studies and clinical trials differently than we do;
 
-
Our clinical trials may produce negative or inconclusive results or may not meet the level of statistical significance required by the MOH, the FDA or other regulatory authorities, and we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional preclinical studies and/or clinical trials or to abandon one or more of our development programs;
 
-
The MOH, the FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities may change their approval policies or adopt new regulations;
 
-
There may be delays or failure in obtaining approval of our clinical trial protocols from the MOH, the FDA or other regulatory authorities or obtaining institutional review board approvals or government approvals to conduct clinical trials at prospective sites;
 
-
We, or regulators, may suspend or terminate our clinical trials because the participating patients are being exposed to unacceptable health risks or undesirable side effects;
 
-
We may experience difficulties in managing multiple clinical sites;
 
-
Enrollment in our clinical trials for our product candidates may occur more slowly than we anticipate, or we may experience high drop-out rates of subjects in our clinical trials, resulting in significant delays;

 
37

 

 
-
We may be unable to manufacture or obtain from third party manufacturers sufficient quantities of our product candidates for use in clinical trials; and
 
-
Our product candidates may be deemed unsafe or ineffective, or may be perceived as being unsafe or ineffective, by healthcare providers for a particular indication.

Any delay of regulatory approval may harm our business.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On September 15, 2010, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Thomas B. Rosedale in the original principal amount of $135,000, which amounts represent unpaid legal fees through December 31, 2010, which were owed to BRL Law Group LLC, of which Mr. Rosedale is the managing member.  The Convertible Promissory Note accrues interest at 4% per annum, and is convertible, in Mr. Rosedale’s sole discretion, into shares of the Company’s common stock based on the five day average closing stock price immediately prior to each time Mr. Rosedale elects to convert amounts owed under such note.
