(A COMPANY IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (and including its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a development stage enterprise whose primary activities since inception have been the development of its business plan, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2012, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2012. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and for the year then ended, and for the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2011, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on April 16, 2012.
Note 2 - Going Concern and Management Plans
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,402,371 and $4,325,865, respectively. The Company has not generated any revenues and incurred net losses of $9,029,244 during the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) through March 31, 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been its stockholders and note financings. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company is currently a development stage company and there is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Company raised $1,500,000 and $375,000 through debt and equity financing, respectively, exchanged $175,000 of debt into equity, and extended the maturities of $1,112,500 of notes. The Company currently has notes payable aggregating $435,000 which are past their maturity dates. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to these notes. See Note 8 – Subsequent Events for additional details.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Stem Cell Cayman Ltd. (“Cayman”), Stem Pearls, LLC and Lipo Rejuvenation Centers, Inc. (an inactive entity; see Note 8 – Subsequent Events – Lipo Rejuvenation Centers, Inc. Dissolved). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, debt discount and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains deposits in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At various times, the Company has deposits in this financial institution in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $317 deposited with an offshore financial institution which is not insured by the FDIC.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.
The Company’s weighted average number of common shares as of March 31, 2012 includes issued and outstanding common shares and the underlying shares issuable upon the exercise of the 20,000,000 and 2,000,000 exercisable options and warrants, respectively, with an exercise price of $0.01 or less. The Company’s weighted average number of common shares as of March 31, 2011 includes issued and outstanding common shares and the underlying shares issuable upon the exercise of the 72,000,000 and 2,000,000 exercisable options and warrants, respectively, with an exercise price of $0.01 or less. See Note 7, Stockholders’ Deficiency. In accordance with ASC 260 – Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), the Company has given effect to the issuance of these options and warrants in computing basic and diluted net loss per share.
The Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as of March 31, 2012 include 40,000,000 shares of stock awards that are non-vested. In accordance with ASC 260, the Company has not given effect to the issuance of these shares in computing basic net loss per share.
Potentially dilutive securities realizable from the vesting of 40,000,000 shares of restricted stock and the exercise of options and warrants for the purchase of 120,150,000 and 8,500,000 shares, respectively, as of March 31, 2012 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Since the shares underlying the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) are not currently registered, the fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares.
Stock-based compensation for non-employees and directors is reflected in consulting expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation for employees is reflected in payroll and benefits in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2012 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported earnings.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 8.

Note 5 - Notes Payable
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company issued an additional $100,500 of notes payable. In connection with the financings, 2,010,000 shares of common stock, with a relative fair value of $14,249, were issued to the lenders and were recorded as a debt discount. These notes are payable 3-6 months from the date of issuance and have a rate of interest of 10-15% per annum.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the maturity dates of certain notes payable with an aggregate principal balance of $560,000 were extended to May 2012 through August 2012 and the investors received an aggregate of 1,125,000 shares of common stock with a relative fair value of $8,924. All of the extended notes bear a 15% interest rate per annum payable monthly.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company repaid a note payable with a principal amount of $50,000.

Stock Options
The Company has computed the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The expected term of options granted represents the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of these options, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the options.
In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to stock options granted, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions:
For The Three Months Ended | ||||
March 31, 2012 | ||||
Risk free interest rate | 0.91 | % | ||
Expected term (years) | 5.36 | |||
Expected volatility | 182.00 | % | ||
Expected dividends | 0.00 | % |
No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The weighted average estimated fair value of the stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $0.008 per share.
Employee Awards
On February 10, 2012, the Company granted ten-year options to employees to purchase an aggregate of 54,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.021 per share, pursuant to the 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”). The options vest as follows: (i) an option granted to the CEO to purchase 50,000,000 shares of common stock vests to the extent of one-third of the shares immediately, one-third on the first anniversary of the date of grant and one-third on the second anniversary of the date of grant; and (ii) options to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock vest to the extent of one-half of the shares immediately and one-half on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The aggregate grant date value of $421,200 will be recognized proportionate to the vesting period.

Overview
Our goal is to become a medical center of excellence using cell and tissue regenerative therapy protocols, primarily involving a patient’s own (autologous) adult stem cells allowing patients to undergo cellular-based treatments. As more and more cellular therapies become standard of care, we intend to focus on the unity of medical and scientific explanations for future clinical procedures and outcomes and the provision of adult stem cells for future personal medical applications. Among the initiatives that we are currently pursuing is one that would involve the use of brown fat in connection with the cell-based treatment of obesity, weight loss, diabetes, hypertension, other metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies. We have also entered into a license agreement which permits us to use technology for adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions, including bulging and herniated discs. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain, and numbness and tingling in the legs and feet.
We also operate a wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Pearls, LLC, which offers facial creams and other skin care products with certain ingredients that may include plant stem cells and/or other stem cell optimization or regenerative compounds.
We currently are developing an infrastructure to establish a laboratory for the possible development of cellular-based treatment protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property, and research applications.
We are a development stage enterprise. Our primary activities in the stem cell area have been the development of our business plan, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements and raising capital. We have not generated any revenues. Our web site address is www.biorestorative.com.
Since inception, we have incurred substantial losses. As of March 31, 2012, our accumulated deficit was $9,018,880, our stockholders’ deficiency was $4,325,865 and our working capital deficiency was $4,402,371. As of March 31, 2012, we have not yet generated revenues and our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products and services. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for development, marketing and promotional activities over at least the next year.
17 | Page |
Based upon our working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2012 and the lack of any revenues from inception to March 31, 2012, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. Between June 2009 and March 31, 2012, we raised an aggregate of $3,674,139 in debt financing. As of March 31 2012, our outstanding debt of $3,165,500, together with interest at rates ranging between 10% and 15% per annum, is due between February 2012 and March 2013. Subsequent to March 31, 2012, we have received equity financing of $375,000, received debt financing of $1,500,000, have extended the due date for repayment with respect to $1,112,500 of debt and $250,000 of debt that has been converted to equity. As a result, we expect that the cash we have available will fund our operations only until May 2012. We are currently considering several different financing alternatives to support our operations thereafter. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis and, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
The following table presents selected items in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
For The Three Months Ended | ||||||||

Net Loss | $ | (1,494,382 | ) | $ | (1,113,097 | ) |
Marketing and promotion expenses
Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, and entertainment and travel expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, marketing and promotion expenses decreased by $4,818, or 11%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.
Payroll and benefits
Payroll and benefits consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, payroll and benefits decreased $39,013, or 7%, as a result of severance expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, partially offset by increased payroll expenses in in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. We did not have any employees during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Consulting expenses
Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, consulting expenses increased $223,108, or 114%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to $226,008 of increased stock-based compensation to directors, consultants, and advisors during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the first quarter of 2011.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses increased by $125,292, or 54%, as compared to the three months March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily a result of an increase of $71,357 for legal fees incurred related to SEC and other legal work and an increase of $31,012 in professional fees for accounting services related to our 2011 audit.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, research and development increased by $2,050, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Interest expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, interest expense increased $102,693, or 421%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was mostly due to an increase in short-term borrowings in 2012.
Amortization of debt discount
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, amortization of debt discount decreased $4,950, or 7%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Gain on settlement of note and payables, net
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gain on settlement of note and payables, net increased $23,077 due to the settlement of a payable to our former chief financial officer.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Cash | $ | 3,113 | $ | 71,508 | ||||

Availability of Additional Funds
Based upon our working capital deficiency of $4,402,371 as of March 31, 2012 and the lack of any revenues from inception to March 31, 2012, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. Between June 2009 and March 31, 2012, we raised an aggregate of $3,674,139 in debt financing. As of March 31 2012, our outstanding debt of $3,165,500, together with interest at rates ranging between 10% and 15% per annum, is due between February 2012 and March 2013. Subsequent to March 31, 2012, we have received equity financing of $375,000, received debt financing of $1,500,000 (which is due in 12 months), have extended the due date for repayment with respect to $1,112,500 of debt and $250,000 of debt that has been converted to equity. We have certain notes payable aggregating $435,000 which matured between March and May 2012. As of the date of this filing, we have not received any notices of default with respect to these notes. As of the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed, our outstanding debt was $4,415,500.
As a result, we believe that the cash we have available will fund our operations only until May 2012. Thereafter, we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity securities or otherwise, to support our future operations and to repay our debt (unless, if requested, the debt holders agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes). Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.
We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or to raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness, and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or to obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced negative cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 in the amounts of $393,895 and $849,911, respectively. The cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $1,494,382, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt discount, loss on sale of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, and a gain on settlement of note and payables in the aggregate amount of $550,845, partially offset by $549,642 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities as a result of increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $1,113,097, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt discount, and stock-based compensation in the aggregate amount of $305,400, plus a net usage of $42,214 of cash to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was no usage of cash due to investing activities and during the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash of $6,891 was used in investing activities to acquire furniture, fixtures and office equipment.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $325,500 and $1,344,468, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, $275,000 of proceeds were from equity financing, $50,500 of net proceeds were from debt financing. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the net proceeds were entirely from debt financing.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2012. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information regarding us (including information contained in our Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2011 and current reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission and press releases made by us), and we were available to answer questions by prospective investors. We reasonably believe that each of the investors is an accredited investor. The proceeds were used to reduce our working capital deficit.
