BRAINSTORM CELL THERAPEUTICS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)

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 the Company's 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. 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 has 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 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.

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

 
f.
On December 21, 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" ("SFAS No. 7").

   
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $33,750, a working capital deficiency of $3,324, incurred net loss of $1,252 and negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $666 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. In addition, the Company has not yet generated any revenues.

These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern.

(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)

NOTE 1:-
GENERAL (Cont.)

The Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern is dependent upon additional financial support.

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.

The Company intends to raise additional capital to fund its operations. In the event the Company is unable to successfully raise capital and generate revenues, it is unlikely that the Company will have sufficient cash flows and liquidity to finance its business operations as currently contemplated and might not be able to pay its liabilities on their scheduled maturity dates.


NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2007, 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 fully owned subsidiary as of March 31, 2008 and for the three 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 three months ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008.


NOTE 4:-
RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

On July 26, 2007, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Research and License Agreement with Ramot. On August 1, 2007, 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 amended license agreement, dated March 30, 2006, and waived all claims against the Company resulting from the Company's previous defaults and non-payment under the original and first amended license agreement. The payments described in the waiver and release covered all payment obligations that were past due and not yet due pursuant to the original license agreement. The waiver and release amends and restates the original payment schedule under the license agreement as follows:

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, will be reinstated.

The Company's total current obligation to Ramot as of March 31, 2008, is in the amount of $580.

NOTE 5:-
CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

 
a.

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 lender agreed that upon payment of the foregoing amounts in accordance with the foregoing schedule, all of the Company's outstanding obligations owed to the lender under the convertible promissory notes will be satisfied in full. The lender also waived any breach or default that may have arisen prior to the date of the agreement from the failure of the Company to make payments under any of the convertible promissory notes.

According to the model provided in EITF 02-4, the Company concluded that the modification of the convertible loans payments is in the scope of FASB 15 “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings”. According to the payment agreement, the loans carrying amount doesn't exceed the total future payments, therefore, in accordance with FASB 15, no gain or loss should be recognized.

On April 13, 2008, the company entered into a new agreement with the lender pursuant to which the lender agreed to partially defer and partially convert to the Company’s Common Stock the payment of $1,250 owed by the Company to the lender (See note 8a).

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-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. 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 Parkinson’s Disease (“PD”), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”) and spinal cord injury.

Our core technology was developed through a collaboration between prominent neurologist, Prof. Eldad Melamed, 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 Dr. Daniel Offen, of the Felsenstein Medical Research Center of Tel Aviv University.

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 dopamine 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 (i) “replace” damaged dopaminergic nerve cells and diseased tissue by augmentation with healthy dopamine producing cells; and (ii) maintain, preserve and restore the damaged and remaining dopaminergic cells in the patient’s brain, protecting them from further degeneration.

Brainstorm holds exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the NurOwn™ technology, through a licensing agreement with Ramot at Tel Aviv University Ltd. (“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, Dr. 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.
 
On December 21, 2007, we entered into a Cooperative Research Agreement with Rutgers University. Pursuant to the Cooperative Research Agreement, our subsidiary and Rutgers University will work jointly in researching the use of differentiated stem cells for the treatment of spinal cord injury. This research project began in January and is expected to conclude during 2008.

On April 1, 2008, we started to operate our new animal house and we are conducting new experiments following our work plan.

We are currently in the developmental stage of our technology and products and we are going to begin the process of seeking regulatory approval from regulatory agencies in the U.S., Israel 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 first in animals and then in human patients; and
 
·
 Setting up centralized facilities to provide NurOwn™ therapeutic products and services for transplantation in patients.
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on September 22, 2000. On July 8, 2004, the Company entered into the licensing agreement with Ramot to acquire certain stem cell technology and decided to discontinue all activities related to the sales of digital data recorder products. On October 25, 2004, the Company opened its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Ltd. in Israel. On December 18, 2006, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to change the state of incorporation of the Company from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware. The reincorporation was completed on December 21, 2006 through the merger of the Company into a newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Brainstorm, also named Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

Results of Operations
 
26


The Company has been a development stage company since its inception. For the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until March 31, 2008, the Company has not earned any revenues from operations. The Company does not expect to earn revenues from operations until 2012. In addition, the Company has incurred operating costs and expenses of approximately $1,134,000 during the three months ending March 31, 2008, and approximately $31,059,000 for the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until March 31, 2008. Operating expenses incurred since inception were approximately $10,604,000 for general and administrative expenses and $20,455,000 for research and development costs.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $590,000, which includes stock-based compensation expense in each of the three month periods. Stock-based compensation decreased by $206,000 to $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $251,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in stock-based compensation is due to a one-time grant of an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to our Chief Technology Advisor in March 2007. Therefore, although research and development expenses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 remained the same, research and development expenses excluding stock-based compensation expenses, have increased primarily due to an increase in salary expenses as we have a greater number of employees and subcontractors due in part to the Cooperative Research Agreement with Rutgers University and in part on an expansion of our research activities.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $544,000 and $748,000, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted of $205,000 in stock-based compensation expenses and $339,000 in salary, legal, audit, public and investor relations and other expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 consisted of $586,000 in stock-based compensation expenses (due to a one-time grant of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to consultants in March of 2007) and $162,000 in other expenses.
 
Financial Expenses
 
Financial expenses decreased by $252,000 to $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $380,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in amortization of discount on short-term convertible loans.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,262,000 and $1,724,000, respectively. Net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.03 and $0.07, respectively. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease 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, 2008 was 41,774,344, compared to 24,372,261 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was due to (i) the issuance of shares in a private placement, (ii) the conversion of convertible loans and (iii) the exercise of warrants. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through private sales of its common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes. At March 31, 2008, we had $104,000 in total current assets and $3,428,000 in total current liabilities.
 
27

 
Net cash used in operating activities was $666,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cash used for operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008 was primarily for payment of salaries and fees to our employees, consultants, subcontractors and services providers and purchase of laboratory materials.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $164,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cash used for investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008 was primarily for building the animal house.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $744,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and is primarily attributable to funds received from ACCBT under the Subscription Agreement.
 
We have a licensing agreement with Ramot under which we owe approximately $95,000 per quarter. In addition, we have an agreement with a lender under which we must pay $250,000 over the next 9 months.
 
Our other material cash needs for the next 12 months will include payment of employee salaries, payments for clinical trials and animal experiments, lease payments, payments to Ramot, payments with respect to patents, payment of construction fees for facilities to be used in our research and development, payment of fees to our consultants and legal advisors and capital equipment expenses.

On July 2, 2007, we entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with ACCBT Corp. (“ACCBT”), 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 are scheduled to take place from August 30, 2007 through November 15, 2008. To date, we have received an aggregate of $2.985 million from ACCBT.

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 clinical trial results.

Critical Accounting Policies 

28


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, 2008. For information about critical accounting policies, see the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

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 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, 2007, which continued to exist as of March 31, 2008:
 
 
·
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 Chief Financial Officer handles certain accounting issues of the Company alone as there is no one in our accounting and finance departments who is qualified to assist him.
 
29


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 on Form 10-Q 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
 
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

Other than as described above, no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting were identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 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.

On April 17, 2008, Chapman, Spira & Carson, LLC (“CSC”), filed a breach of contract complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Company. The complaint alleges that CSC performed its obligations to the Company under a consulting agreement entered into between the parties and that the Company failed to provide CSC with the compensation outlined in the consulting agreement. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an amount up to approximately $896,667, as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. We intend to vigorously defend our actions. We cannot predict the scope, timing or outcome of this matter. We cannot predict what impact, if any, this matter may have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, there have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-KSB, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in our annual report on Form 10-KSB, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-KSB are not the only risks facing the Company. 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.
 
Item 5. Other Information.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we made no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors, as described in our most recent proxy statement.
