Unless otherwise specified in this report, all references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This 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 report on Form 10-KSB for the transition period ended December 31, 2006. 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.

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 (see Note 3 to the financial statements as of December 31, 2006). 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.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had accumulated deficit of $ 29,120, working capital deficiency of $ 3,525, incurred net loss of $ 2,876 and negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $ 552 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. 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.

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.

NOTE 1:-
GENERAL (Cont.)

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.

Accordingly, the Company will likely reduce general and administrative expenses and cease or delay the development project until it is able to obtain sufficient financing. There can be no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated and that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

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

The payments described in the waiver and release cover all of 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:

Item 2. Plan of Operation.

Company Overview
 
Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (“Brainstorm” or the “Company”) is an emerging 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) and ALS, and thereafter for Multiple Sclerosis and other neurodegenerative disorders.
 
Recent Developments
 
New President and Board Member

On July 2, 2007, Chaim Lebovits was appointed the President of the Company.

On July 16, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company increased the size of the Board to four members and elected Mr. Moshe Lion to the Board.

New Advisory Board

In August 2007, we established an Advisory Board comprised of world class business leaders. The Advisory Board is still in development, and we are working to add additional qualified members.

Research Developments

On February 8, 2007 in laboratories at the University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain, Prof. Jose Obeso transplanted the subject, a healthy monkey, with our human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells. The stem cells had been induced to differentiate into neurotrophic factor-producing cells, according to the protocol developed at our laboratories in Israel. The monkey was treated daily with cyclosporine to prevent rejection of the human originating cells by its immune system, and was monitored for a variety of parameters for a period of three months. Throughout this phase, the monkey appeared well and in good health, with a usual appetite, and with no apparent change in physical and behavioral parameters. Blood tests, an MRI of the monkey's brain and an autopsy examination of the internal organs were also found to be normal.
 
Additionally, brain tissues from the monkey were examined by Prof. Jeffrey Kordower (Rush University, Chicago, USA). A few human originating cells were detected in sections of the monkey's brain by staining the sections with an antibody, which can distinguish between the monkey's own brain cells and the human transplanted cells. The human transplanted cells were surrounded by macrophages, which may indicate a reaction of the monkey's immune system to the transplanted human cells and their initial rejection. Our approach would involve autologous transplantation (i.e., the use of the patient's own bone marrow-derived stem cells). With this strategy, no rejection is expected and there will be no need to suppress the immune system by medications that often cause severe side effects.
 
Two additional normal monkeys recently underwent transplantation in Pamplona with our human stem cells. The monkeys will also be monitored for a period of three months for collection of additional data; so far, the monkeys are in good health.
 
Double U Master Fund
 
In July  2007, we entered into a letter agreement with Double U Master Fund L.P. pursuant to which we agreed to issue to Double U an aggregate of 630,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of a common stock purchase warrant dated as of October 3, 2006 held by Double U. In lieu of paying the purchase price for the shares in cash, Double U agreed to waive the repayment of the promissory note we issued to Double U on February 1, 2006 in the principal amount of $189,000, except for accrued interest of $17,340. Upon payment of the accrued interest and issuance of the 630,000 shares to Double U, all of our obligations owed to Double U under the February 1, 2006 note and the common stock purchase warrant were satisfied in full.

Second Amended License Agreement with Ramot at Tel Aviv University Ltd.

We entered into a Second Amended and Restated Research and License Agreement with Ramot at Tel Aviv University Ltd. on July 26, 2007. Like the original license agreement with Ramot, the amended license agreement imposes on us development and commercialization obligations, milestone and royalty payment obligations and other obligations. As of June 30, 2007, we owed Ramot an aggregate of $513,249 in overdue payments and patent fees under the original license agreement with Ramot. On August 1, 2007, we obtained a waiver and release from Ramot pursuant to which Ramot agreed to an amended payment schedule regarding our payment obligations under the amended license agreement and waived all claims against us resulting from our previous breaches, defaults and non-payment under the original license agreement. The payments described in the waiver and release cover all of our payment obligations (including interest) 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:
 
Payment Date
 
  Amount
 
September 5, 2007

$

In addition, in the event that the “research period”, as defined in the license agreement, is extended for an additional three year period in accordance with the terms of the license agreement, then we must make the following payments to Ramot during the first year of the extended research period: 
 
Payment Date

November 20, 2008

February 20, 2009
 
$

If we fail to make a payment to Ramot on any required payment date, and we do not cure the default within seven business days of notice of the default, all claims of Ramot against us which were waived and released by the waiver and release will be reinstated.

In addition, on August 1, 2007, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with Ramot. The amended Registration Rights Agreement provides Ramot with demand and piggyback registration rights whereby if we propose to register any of our common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for sale for our own account including for the account of any of our shareholders or for ACCBT Corp.’s account in connection with the public offering of such common stock, then Ramot may request that the we file, or include within a registration statement to be filed, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants held by Ramot.

Investment Agreement with ACCBT Corp.
 
On July 2, 2007, we entered into a subscription agreement with ACCBT Corp., a company under the control of Mr. Chaim Lebovits, our newly appointed President, pursuant to which we agreed to sell (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. The warrants will have the following exercise prices: (i) the first 10,083,333 warrants will have an exercise price of $0.20; (ii) the next 10,083,333 warrants will have an exercise price of $0.29; and (iii) the final 10,083,334 warrants will have an exercise price of $0.36. Because of our recent resolution and restructuring of the amounts owed by us to Ramot under the Ramot license agreement, ACCBT elected to accelerate the date of the first closing under the subscription agreement from August 30, 2007 to August 10, 2007. Therefore, on August 20, 2007, we received an aggregate of $1,000,000 from ACCBT, and we will issue to ACCBT an aggregate of 6,875,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 7,562,500 shares of common stock.

As a condition to each closing under the subscription agreement, the market price per share of our common stock may not be 10% less than the bid price per share under the subscription agreement on any trading day between 30 and 10 days prior to any given closing date. If at any time prior to the first closing date we issue shares of common stock or others securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, then the number of shares to be issued to ACCBT under the subscription agreement and the price per share will be adjusted so that ACCBT will have the right to purchase up to 52.35% of our equity on a fully diluted as converted basis (assuming ACCBT purchases all of the shares and exercises in full all of the warrants subject to the subscription agreement) and 50.02% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (assuming ACCBT invests the full $5.0 million).
 
28

 
Pursuant to the subscription agreement, ACCBT and certain other security holders of the Company holding at least 31% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock entered into a Security Holders Agreement. The security holders party to the Security Holders Agreement agreed, upon the payment by ACCBT of its first $1.0 million under the subscription agreement, to vote all of their shares such that ACCBT’s nominees to our Board of Directors will constitute a minimum of 40% of the Board of Directors, and, upon the payment by ACCBT of its second $1.0 million, to vote all of their shares such that ACCBT’s nominees will constitute a minimum of 50.1% of the Board of Directors. However, if ACCBT stops making payments after the first closing date such that ACCBT pays us less than $4.0 million, ACCBT will be entitled to appoint only 40% of the members of our Board of Directors.
  
The security holders party to the Security Holders Agreement also agreed, for so long as ACCBT holds at least 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, not to vote any of their shares to approve the following matters, without the written consent of ACCBT: (i) any change in our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or alteration of our capital structure; (ii) the declaration or payment of a dividend or the making of any distributions; (iii) the taking of any steps to liquidate, dissolve, wind-up or otherwise terminate our corporate existence; or (iv) the entering into any transaction the effect of which would place control of our business in the hands of an arm’s length third party.

In connection with the subscription agreement, we agreed to issue, upon the first closing date, as a finder’s fee, 1,250,000 shares of our common stock to Tayside Trading Ltd. or its registered assigns.
 
Transfer of Warrant from Ramot at Tel Aviv University Ltd. to ACCBT Corp.

Pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated August 2, 2007, between Ramot at Tel Aviv University Ltd. and ACCBT Corp., Ramot has agreed to transfer and sell to ACCBT (or to certain parties that may be designated by ACCBT), a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 3,181,925 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $636,385. The warrant is exercisable at any time for an exercise price per share equal to $0.01. The warrant will expire on November 4, 2010. The closing of the transfer and sale of the warrant from Ramot to ACCBT is expected to take place on August 31, 2007.

Accrued Interest Owed to Zegal & Ross Capital

We owe an aggregate of $80,000 to Zegal & Ross Capital and Mark Zegal under various outstanding promissory notes issued by us to Zegal & Ross Capital and Mark Zegal. In August 2007, Zegal & Ross Capital and Mr. Zegal each agreed to waive the payment by us of all accrued interest under the outstanding promissory notes, which accrued interest was $5,800 as of August 1, 2007.
 
Adult Stem Cell Therapy
 
Our activities are within the stem cell therapy field. Stem cells are non-specialized cells with a potential for both self-renewal and differentiation into cell types with a specialized function, such as muscle, blood or brain cells. The cells have the ability to undergo asymmetric division such that one of the two daughter cells retains the properties of the stem cell, while the other begins to differentiate into a more specialized cell type. Stem cells are therefore central to normal human growth and development, and also are a potential source of new cells for the regeneration of diseased and damaged tissue. Stem cell therapy aims to restore diseased tissue function by the replacement and/or addition of healthy cells by stem cell transplants.
 
Currently, two principal platforms for cell therapy products are being explored: (i) embryonic stem cells ("ESC"), isolated from the inner mass of a few days old embryo; and (ii) adult stem cells, sourced from bone marrow, cord blood and various organs. Although ESCs are the easiest to grow and differentiate, their use in human therapy is limited by safety concerns associated with their tendency to develop Teratomas (a form of tumor) and their potential to elicit an immune reaction. In addition, ESC has generated much political and ethical debate due to their origin in early human embryos.
 
Cell therapy using adult stem cells does not suffer from the same concerns. Bone marrow is the tissue where differentiation of stem cells into blood cells (haematopoiesis) occurs. In addition, it harbors stem cells capable of differentiation into mesenchymal (muscle, bone, fat and other) tissues. Such mesenchymal stem cells have also been shown capable of differentiating into nerve, skin and other cells. In fact, bone marrow transplants have been safely and successfully performed for many years, primarily for treating leukemia, immune deficiency diseases, severe blood cell diseases, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Moreover, bone marrow may be obtained through a simple procedure of aspiration, from the patient himself, enabling autologous cell therapy, thus obviating the need for donor matching, circumventing immune rejection and other immunological mismatch risks, as well as avoiding the need for immunosuppressive therapy. Thus, we believe bone marrow, in particular autologous bone marrow, capable of in vitro growth and multipotential differentiation, presents a preferable source of therapeutic stem cells.
 
Parkinson's Disease ("PD")
 
Background
 
PD is a chronic, progressive disorder, affecting certain nerve cells, which reside in the Substantia Nigra of the brain and which produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter that directs and controls movement. In PD, these dopamine-producing nerve cells break down, causing dopamine levels to drop below the threshold levels and resulting in brain signals directing movement to become abnormal. The cause of the disease is unknown.
 
Over four million people suffer from PD in the western world, of whom about 1.5 million are in the United States. In over 85% of cases, PD occurs in people over the age of 65. Thus, prevalence is increasing in line with the general aging of the population. We believe the markets for pharmaceutical treatments for PD have a combined value of approximately $4 billion per year. However, these costs are dwarfed when compared to the total economic burden of the disease, which has been estimated by the National Institute of Neurological Disease (NINDS) to exceed $26 billion annually in the U.S. alone, including costs of medical treatment, caring, facilities and other services, as well as loss of productivity of both patients and caregivers.
 
 
Description
 
The classic symptoms of PD are shaking (tremor), stiff muscles (rigidity) and slow movement (bradykinesia). A person with fully developed PD may also have a stooped posture, a blank stare or fixed facial expression, speech problems and difficulties with balance or walking. Although highly debilitating, the disease is not life threatening and an average patient's life span is approximately 15 years.
 
Current Treatments
 
Current drug therapy for PD primarily comprises dopamine replacement, either directly (levodopa), with dopamine mimetics or by inhibition of its breakdown. Thus, the current drugs focus on treating the symptoms of the disease and do not presume to provide a cure.
 
Levodopa, which remains the standard and most potent PD medication available, has a propensity to cause serious motor response complications (MRCs) with long-term use. Moreover, effective drug dosage often requires gradual increase, leading to more adverse side effects and eventual resistance to their therapeutic action. This greatly limits patient benefit. Therefore, physicians and researchers are continuously seeking levodopa-sparing strategies in patients with early-stage disease to delay the need for levodopa, as well as in patients with late stage disease who no longer respond to therapy.
 
Prescription drugs to treat PD currently generate sales of over $1 billion and the market is expected to grow to approximately $2.3 billion by 2010, driven by the increase in size of the elderly population and the introduction of new PD therapies that carry a higher price tag than the generic levodopa.
 
Another method for treating PD is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which consists of transplanting electrodes deep into the brain to provide permanent electrical stimulation to specific areas of the brain and to cause a delay in the activity in those areas. However, DBS is problematic as it often causes uncontrollable and severe side effects such as bleeding in the brain, infection and depression. In addition, like drug therapy, DBS focuses on treating the symptoms of PD and does not provide a cure.
 
There is a greatly unsatisfied need for novel approaches towards management of PD. These include development of neurotrophic agents for neuroprotection and/or neurorestoration, controlling levodopa-induced adverse side effects, developing compounds targeting nondopaminergic systems (e.g., glutamate antagonists) controlling the motor dysfunction such as gait, freezing, and postural imbalance, treating and delaying the onset of disease-related dementia and providing simplified dosing regimens.
 
In addition to the symptomatic drug development approaches, there is an intense effort to develop cell and gene therapeutic "curative" approaches to restore the neural function in patients with PD, by (i) replacing the dysfunctional cells with dopamine producing cell transplant, or by (ii) providing growth factors and proteins, such as glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), that can maintain or preserve the patient's remaining dopaminergic cells, protecting them from further degeneration. Preclinical evaluation of cell therapeutic approaches based on transplantation of dopaminergic neurons differentiated in vitro from ESC, have been successful in ameliorating the parkinsonian behavior of animal models, as has direct gene therapy with vectors harboring the GDNF gene. However, these approaches are limited, in the first case, by the safety and ethical considerations associated with use of ESC, and, in the second case, by the safety risks inherent to gene therapy.
 
In fact, PD is the first neurodegenerative disease for which cell transplantation has been attempted in humans, first with adrenal medullary cells and, later, with tissue grafts from fetal brain. About 300 such fetal transplants have already been performed and some benefits have been observed, mainly in younger patients. However, this approach is not only impractical but greatly limited by the ethical issues influencing the availability of human fetuses. The above considerations have led to intensive efforts to define and develop appropriate cells from adult stem cells.
 
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ("ALS")
 
ALS, often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death. As motor neurons degenerate, they can no longer send impulses to the muscle fibers that normally result in muscle movement. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become completely paralyzed. However, in most cases, mental faculties are not affected.
 
Approximately 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. It is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans may have the disease at any given time, with 100,000 across the western world. Consequently, the total estimated cost of treating ALS patients in the United States is approximately $1.25 billion per year and $3 billion per year in the western world.
 
 
Description
 
Early symptoms of ALS often include increasing muscle weakness or stiffness, especially involving the arms and legs, speech, swallowing or breathing.
 
ALS is most often found in the 40 to 70 year age group, where it is actually quite common, with the same incidence as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). There appear to be more MS sufferers because MS patients tend to live much longer, some for 30 years or more. The life expectancy of an ALS patient averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis. However, up to 10% of ALS patients will survive more than ten years.
 
Current Treatment
 
The physician bases medication decisions on the patient's symptoms and the stage of the disease. Some medications used for ALS patients include:
 
o Riluzole - the only medication approved by the FDA to slow the progress of ALS. While it does not reverse ALS, riluzole has been shown to reduce nerve damage. Riluzole may extend the time before a patient needs a ventilator (a machine to help breathe) and may prolong the patient's life by several months;
 
o Baclofen or Diazepam - these medications may be used to control muscle spasms, stiffness or tightening (spasticity) that interfere with daily activities; and
 
o Trihexyphenidyl or Amitriptyline - these medications may help patients who have excess saliva or secretions, and emotional changes.
 
Other medications may be prescribed to help reduce such symptoms as fatigue, pain, sleep disturbances, constipation, and excess saliva and phlegm.
 
Our Approach
 
We intend to focus our efforts to develop cell therapeutic treatments for PD based on the expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells from adult bone marrow and their differentiation into neuron like cells, such as neurons that produce dopamine and astrocytes (glial cells) that produce neurotrophic factors (NTF) including GDNF, BDNF, NGF and IGF-1. 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.
 
The research team led by Prof. Melamed and Dr. Offen has achieved expansion of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and their differentiation into both types of brain cells, neurons and astrocytes, each having therapeutic potential, as follows:
 
NurOwn TM program 1 - DA neuron-like cells - human bone marrow derived dopamine producing neural cells for restorative treatment in PD. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and expanded. Subsequent differentiation of the cell cultures in a proprietary differentiation medium generated cells with neuronal-like morphology and showing protein markers specific to neuronal cells. Moreover, the in vitro differentiated cells were shown to express enzymes and proteins required for dopamine metabolism, particularly the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. Most importantly, the cells produce and release dopamine in vitro. Further research consisting of implanting these cells in an animal model of PD (6-OHDA induced lesions), showed the differentiated cells exhibit long-term engraftment, survival and function in vivo. Most importantly, such implantation resulted in marked attenuation of their symptoms, essentially reversing their Parkinsonian movements.
 
NurOwn TM program 2 - Astrocyte-like cells - human bone marrow derived NTF producing astrocyte for treatment of PD, ALS and spinal cord injury. In vitro differentiation of the expanded human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in a special proprietary medium and generated cells with astrocyte-like morphology that expressed astrocyte specific markers. Moreover, the in vitro differentiated cells were shown to express and secrete GDNF, as other NTF, into the growth medium. GDNF is a protein, previously shown to protect, preserve and even restore neurons, particularly dopaminergic cells in PD, but also neuron function in other neurodegenerative pathologies such as ALS and Huntington's. Unfortunately, therapeutic application of GDNF is hampered by its poor brain penetration and stability. Attempting to infuse the protein directly to the brain is impractical and the alternative, using GDNF gene therapy, suffers from the limitations and risks of using viral vectors. Our preliminary results show that our astrocyte-like cells, when transplanted into PD rats with a 6-OHDA lesion, show significant efficacy. Within weeks of the transplantation, there was an improvement of more than 50% in the animals' characteristic disease symptoms.
 
We intend to optimize the proprietary processes for transformation of human bone marrow expanded mesenchymal stem cells into differentiated cells that produce dopamine and/or NTF for implantation to PD and ALS patients. The optimization and process development will be conducted in an effort to comply with FDA guidelines for Good Tissue Practice (GTP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Once the optimization of the process is completed, we intend to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our various cell transplants in animal models, (separately and in combination). Based on the results in animals we intend to use the differentiated cell products for conducting clinical trials to assess the efficacy of the cell therapies in PD and ALS patients.
 
 
Our technology is based on the NurOwn TM products - an autologous cell therapeutic modality, comprising the extraction of the patient bone marrow, processed into the appropriate neuronal cells and re-implanted into the patient's brain. This approach is taken in order to increase patient safety and minimize any chance of immune reaction or cell rejection.
 
We believe that the therapeutic modality will comprise the following:
 
o Bone marrow aspiration from patient;
 
o Isolating and expanding the mesenchymal stem cells;
 
o Differentiating the expanded stem cells into neuronal-like dopamine producing cells and/or astrocytes-like NTF producing cells; and
 
o Implantation of the differentiated cells into patient from whom the bone marrow was extracted.
 
Business Strategy
 
Our efforts are currently focused on the development of the technology to convert the process from the lab stage to the clinical stage, with the following main objectives:
 
o Developing the cell differentiation process according to health regulation guidelines;
 
o Demonstrating safety and efficacy, first in animals and then in patients; and
 
o Setting up centralized facilities to provide NurOwn TM therapeutic products and services for transplantation in patients.
 
We intend to enter into strategic partnerships as we progress towards advanced clinical development and commercialization with companies responsible for advanced clinical development and commercialization. This approach is intended to generate an early inflow of up-front and milestone payments and to enhance our capacities in regulatory and clinical infrastructure while minimizing expenditure and risk.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We have filed the following patent and trademark applications:
 
o The NurOwn TM technology for differentiation of dopamine producing neuron-like cells is covered by PCT patent application number PCT/IL03/00972 filed on November 17, 2003.
 
o The NurOwn TM technology for differentiating astrocyte-like cells is covered by PCT patent application number PCT/IL2006/000699 filed on June 18, 2006.
 
o The NurOwn TM technology for generating oligodendrocyte-like cells treatment of medical conditions of the CNS is covered by PCT patent application number PCT/IL2006/001410 filed on December 7, 2006.
 
o We have filed for a trademark on NurOwn TM .
 
Assuming we can successfully complete our additional necessary financings, our primary objectives over the next twelve (12) months will be:
 
·  
To define and optimize our NurOwnTM technology in human bone marrow cells, in order to prepare the final production process for clinical studies in accordance with health authorities’ guidelines. To reach this goal we intend to optimize methods for the stem cell growth and differentiation in specialized growth media, as well as methods for freezing, thawing, storing and transporting of the expanded mesenchymal stem cells, as well as the differentiated neuronal cells;
 
 
·  
To verify the robustness and the reproducibility of the process;
 
·  
To further repeat the process using bone marrow from Parkinson’s patients;
 
·  
To conduct large efficacy studies in animal models of PD (such as mice and rats) in order to further evaluate the engraftment, survival and efficacy of our astrocyte-like cell in these models;
 
·  
To finish conducting safety and efficacy studies in primates-monkeys;
 
·  
To conduct a full tumorgenicity study in animals;
 
·  
To generate process SOPs, protocols and reports for the file submission;
 
·  
To finalize analytical methodology and product specifications to be used as release criteria of the final cell product for clinical trials in humans;
 
·  
To set up a quality control system for the processing of our cells; and
 
·  
To write up clinical protocols for phase I & II clinical studies, and start the clinical trials.
 
All of these activities will be coordinated with a view towards the execution of clinical trials of the astrocyte-like differentiated cell implants in humans. We intend to crystallize our development plans with the assistance of our scientific advisory board members and external regulatory consultants who are experts in the FDA cell therapy regulation guidelines.
 
 
In addition, we intend to identify and evaluate in-licensing opportunities for development of innovative technologies utilizing cell and gene therapy for diabetes, cardiac disease and other indications.

Cash Requirements

At June 30, 2007, we had $123,000 in total current assets and $3,648,000 in total current liabilities and on August 9, 2007, we had approximately $93,000 in cash. On August 20, 2007, the Company received $1,000,000 from ACCBT Corp. If ACCBT Corp. chooses to continue funding the Company as set forth in the Subscription Agreement, then we expect that we will receive five installments of $750,000 every quarter through November 2008. We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings to meet our anticipated expenses for the coming years so that we can execute our business plan and conduct clinical trials in PD and ALS patients. Although we have been seeking such additional funds, no commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management, other shareholders or third parties.

In order to execute our plan of operation for the next several years we will need to raise additional financing.

In the past, we have received loans from various investors. In connection with such loans, we have issued convertible notes. As of August 14, 2007, we owed certain investors approximately $1.1 million in overdue payments under certain convertible notes. We are currently in discussions with such investors to obtain a deferral of these payments until we raise additional capital.

Our other material cash needs for the next 12 months will include employee salaries and benefits, facility lease, capital equipment expenses and construction of facilities for animals we plan to use in our research and development and trials , legal and audit fees, patent prosecution fees, consulting fees, payments for outsourcing of certain animal experiments and, possibly, upfront payments for in-licensing opportunities and payment for clinical trials in Europe or the U.S.
 
Research and Development
 
Our research and development efforts have focused on improving growth conditions and developing tools to evaluate the differentiation of bone marrow stem cells into neural-like cells, suitable for transplantation as a restorative therapy for neurodegenerative diseases. Some highlights achieved in this research include:
 
33

 
·  
Improving the bone marrow stem cells expansion prior to differentiation;
  
·  
Evaluation of methodologies for cryo-preservation of the expanded bone marrow cells prior to differentiation;
 
·  
Characterization of the propagated mesenchymal stem according to established CD-markers;
 
·  
Determination of timing and growth conditions for the differentiation process;
 
·  
Development of molecular tools and cell surface markers to evaluate cell differentiation;
 
·  
Demonstrating that the bone marrow derived differentiated cells do produce and secrete several neuron-specific markers;
 
·  
Transplantation of the bone marrow derived neural-like cells in the striatum of model animals resulting in long-term engraftment; and
 
·  
Parkinson’s model animals transplanted with the bone marrow derived neural-like cells show significant improvement in their rotational behavior.
 
For the twelve months ending June 30, 2008, we estimate that our research and development costs will be approximately $4 million excluding compensation expenses related to options and warrants. We intend to spend our research and development costs on the development of our core NurOwn™ technology by developing the cell differentiation process according to FDA and/or EMEA guidelines and to finish the primate clinical trials in Spain. We also plan to construct a facility for animals we plan to use in our research and development and trials. We also intend to fund and finance collaborations with medical centers and strategic partners for future clinical trials.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
If we can successfully complete our financings, for the twelve months ending June 30, 2008, we estimate that our general and administrative expenses will be approximately $1 million excluding compensation expenses related to options, warrants and shares. These general and administrative expenses will include, among others, salaries, legal and audit expenses, business development, investor and public relations, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance expenses and office maintenance.
 
We do not expect to generate any revenues in the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2008.
 
In management's opinion, we need to achieve the following events or milestones in the next twelve months in order for us to conduct clinical trials for our NurOwn™ dopamine or astrocyte-like producing cell differentiation process as planned within the next several years:
 
·  
Complete preclinical studies in rodents to confirm safety and efficacy;

·  
Complete preclinical studies to confirm safety in monkeys;

·  
Conduct full safety study of the final cell product for PD;

·  
Write up clinical protocols for Phase I & II clinical studies; and
 
·  
Raise additional equity or debt financing or a combination of equity and debt financing in addition to the $5,000,000 from ACCBT Corp. that we expect to receive under the recent subscription agreement.
 
Employees  

We currently have eleven scientific and administrative employees. We expect to increase our staff significantly in the coming months in order to reach our goals.

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.
 
Risk Factors

Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this report. If any of the following events actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer materially. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our report on Form 10-KSB for the transition period ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our transition report on Form 10-KSB are not the only risks facing our 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. The risk factors below were disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-KSB and have been updated to provide information as of June 30, 2007.

Our business in the foreseeable future will be based on technology licensed from Ramot and if this license were to be terminated for any reason, including failure to pay the required research funding or royalties, we would need to change our business strategy and we may be forced to cease our operations. We entered into a Second Amended and Restated Research and License Agreement with Ramot on July 31, 2007 (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement imposes on us development and commercialization obligations, milestone and royalty payment obligations and other obligations.

As of June 30, 2007, we owed Ramot an aggregate of $513,000 in overdue payments and patent fees under our original license agreement with Ramot. On August 1, 2007, we obtained a waiver and release from Ramot pursuant to which Ramot agreed to an amended payment schedule regarding our payment obligations under the Amended Agreement and waived all claims against us resulting from our previous breaches and non-payment under the original license agreement. The payments described in the waiver and release cover all of our payment obligations (including interest) that were past due and not yet due pursuant to the original license agreement. The waiver and release provides that we are obligated to pay Ramot fees ranging from $90,000 to $150,000 on a quarterly basis from September 2007 until August 2008, and, if certain research milestones are met, we are obligated to make payments to Ramot ranging from $60,000 to $170,000 on a quarterly basis from August 2008 until February 2009. If we fail to pay the amounts owed to Ramot in accordance with the new payment schedule, Ramot may have the right to terminate the license and all claims waived by Ramot pursuant to the waiver and release may be reinstated. If Ramot elects to terminate our license, we would need to change our business strategy and we may be forced to cease our operations.

In addition, on August 1, 2007, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with Ramot relating to warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per share issued to Ramot in connection with the original Ramot agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement extends the date by which the shares underlying the warrants are to be registered by us for resale to no later than within 30 days after the earlier of (i) the Company registering shares of its common stock for issuance by the Company, or (ii) the date on which shares of common stock held by ACCBT Corp. are registered for resale.

Our company has a history of losses and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We had no revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 or March 31, 2006 or for the transition period from April 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 or for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As a development stage company, we are in the early stages of executing against our business plan. Our ability to operate successfully is materially uncertain and our operations are subject to significant risks inherent in a developing business enterprise. Most notably, we do not expect that any therapies resulting from our or our collaborators’ research and development efforts will be commercially available for a significant number of years, if at all. We also do not expect to generate revenues from strategic partnerships or otherwise for at least the next 12 months, and likely longer. Furthermore, we expect to incur substantial and increasing operating losses for the next several years as we increase our spending to execute our development programs. These losses are expected to have an adverse impact on our working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity, and we may never achieve profitability.

However, in the last month, we have made significant progress and improvements to our financial condition. For example, on July 2, 2007, we entered into a subscription agreement with ACCBT Corp., a company under the control of Mr. Chaim Lebovits, our newly appointed President, pursuant to which we agreed to sell (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. The warrants will have the following exercise prices: (i) the first 10,083,333 warrants will have an exercise price of $0.20; (ii) the next 10,083,333 warrants will have an exercise price of $0.29; and (iii) the final 10,083,334 warrants will have an exercise price of $0.36. Because of our recent resolution and restructuring of the amounts owed by us to Ramot under the Ramot license agreement, ACCBT elected to accelerate the date of the first closing under the subscription agreement from August 30, 2007 to August 20, 2007. Therefore, on August 20, 2007, we received an aggregate of $1,000,000 from ACCBT and in exchange we issued to ACCBT an aggregate of 6,875,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 7,562,500 shares of common stock.
 
Moreover, in July 2007, we entered into a letter agreement with Double U Master Fund L.P. pursuant to which we agreed to issue to Double U an aggregate of 630,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of a common stock purchase warrant dated as of October 3, 2006 held by Double U. In lieu of paying the purchase price for the shares in cash, Double U agreed to waive the repayment of the promissory note we issued to Double U on February 1, 2006 in the principal amount of $189,000, except for accrued interest of $17,340. Upon payment of the accrued interest and issuance of the 630,000 shares to Double U, all of our obligations owed to Double U under the February 1, 2006 note and the common stock purchase warrant were satisfied in full.

In addition, the restructuring of our obligations to Ramot eliminated significant risks that were faced by the Company.

In order to execute our business plan, we will need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital on favorable terms and in a timely manner, we will not be able to execute our business plan and we could be forced to restrict or cease our operations. We will need to raise additional funds to meet our anticipated expenses so that we can execute our business plan. We expect to incur substantial and increasing net losses for the foreseeable future as we increase our spending to execute our development programs. Our auditors have expressed in their audit report that there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

If we satisfy the closing conditions contained in the subscription agreement with ACCBT, then we expect to issue and sell additional shares and warrants to ACCBT through November 2008 for aggregate consideration of up to $5,000,000. However, if we do not satisfy the closing conditions contained in the subscription agreement, and if ACCBT does not elect to purchase additional shares and warrants, we will need to seek additional financings to allow us to execute our business plan. Even if ACCBT purchases all of the shares and warrants under the subscription agreement, we will still need to secure additional funds to effect our plan of operations. We may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds on favorable terms and in a timely fashion, we will be unable to execute our business plan and we will be forced to restrict or cease our operations.
 
Assuming we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges (including registrations rights) senior to those of the rights of our common stock and our stockholders will experience additional dilution.
 
Your percentage ownership will be diluted by future offerings of our securities, upon the conversion of outstanding convertible promissory notes into shares of common stock and by options, warrants or shares we grant to management, employees, directors and consultants. If we issue all of the shares and warrants to ACCBT Corp. as provided for in the subscription agreement, it will have a significant dilutive effect on your percentage ownership in the Company. In addition, in order to meet our financing needs described above, we may issue additional significant amounts of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The precise terms of any future financings will be determined by us and potential investors and such future financings may also significantly dilute your percentage ownership in the Company.
 
In November 2004 and February 2005, our Board of Directors adopted and ratified the 2004 Global Share Option Plan and the 2005 U.S. Stock Option Plan and Incentive Plan (the “Global Plan” and “U.S. Plan” respectively and the “Plans” together), and further approved the reservation of 9,143,462 shares of our common stock for issuance under the Plans (the “Shares”). Our shareholders approved the Plans and the issuance of the Shares in a special meeting of shareholders that was held on March 28, 2005. We have made and intend to make further option grants under the Plans or otherwise issue warrants or shares of our common stock to individuals under the Plans. For example, as of August 3, 2007:

·
under our Global Plan, we have granted and not canceled a total of 5,251,778 options with various exercise prices and expiration dates, to officers, directors, services providers, consultants and employees.

·
under our U.S. Plan we have issued an additional 1,730,000 shares of restricted stock and options for grants to Scientific Advisory Board members, service providers, consultants and directors.

Such issuances will, if and when made (and if options or warrants are subsequently exercised), dilute your percentage ownership in the Company.

As of August 3, 2007, we have issued convertible notes that have not yet been converted in an aggregate principal amount of $1,930,000 to various investors. Each holder of a convertible note may choose to convert all or part of the outstanding principal and interest amount of such holder’s note into shares of our common stock on or prior to the maturity date of the respective note. The maximum number of shares, in the aggregate, that are issuable pursuant to outstanding convertible notes is 83,400,000.

As of August 3, 2007, we have issued 6,329,066 shares to investors, directors, service providers and consultants. When we register the shares or those underlying convertible securities for which we have undertaken to register, they can be sold in the public market. In addition, the shares that we will not register will become eligible for sale into the public market subject to and in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations, which provide exemptions from registration requirements. If any of the holders of these shares or convertible securities, or any of our existing stockholders, sell a large number of shares of our common stock, or the public market perceives that existing stockholders might sell shares of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are 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 President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On August 10, 2007, we issued a warrant to purchase 7,562,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share to ACCBT Corp.

The Company plans to use any proceeds from such securities issuances or warrant exercises for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Item 5. Other Information

In the event that such average sale price cannot be determined for both the Licensed Product and all other Additional Ingredients included in the Combined Product, Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combined Products by the fraction of C/(C+D) where “C” is the fair market value of the Licensed Product and “D” is the fair market value of all other Additional Ingredients included in the Combined Product. In such event, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to arrive at a determination of the respective fair market values of the Licensed Product and all other Additional Ingredients included in the Combined Product, provided that the portion of Net Sales attributed to the Licensed Product in such event shall not be less than 50% of the relevant Net Sales.

If, after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, then Ramot shall receive an amount equal to one-third of such funds and the remaining two-thirds of such funds shall be retained by Licensee, provided that with respect to amounts awarded for loss of sales, Ramot shall only be entitled (after such amounts shall first have been applied to cover out-of-pocket expenses of both parties) to 5% from the awarded lost Net Sales or the lost Net Sales grossed up from the loss of profit awarded by the court.

Should Ramot elect to bring suit against an infringer and Licensee is joined as party plaintiff in any such suit, Licensee shall have the right to approve the counsel selected by Ramot to represent Ramot, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The expenses of such suit or suits that Ramot elects to bring, including any expenses of Licensee incurred in conjunction with the prosecution of such suits or the settlement thereof, shall be paid for entirely by Ramot and Ramot shall hold Licensee free, clear and harmless from and against any and all costs of such litigation, including attorney’s fees. Ramot shall not compromise or settle such litigation without the prior written consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Ramot exercises its right to sue pursuant to this Section 10.3, it shall first reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorney’s fees, necessarily involved in the prosecution of any such suit. If, after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, then Licensee shall receive an amount equal to one-third of such funds and the remaining two-thirds of such funds shall be retained by Ramot.

10.5.   Cooperation. Each party agrees to cooperate fully in any action under this Section 10 which is controlled by the other party, provided that the controlling party reimburses the cooperating party promptly for any costs and expenses incurred by the cooperating party in connection with providing such assistance.
 
10.6.   Standing. If a party lacks standing and the other party has standing to bring any such suit, action or proceeding, then such other party shall do so at the request of and at the expense of the requesting party.

11.1.   Compliance with Law. Licensee warrants that it will comply with, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees comply with, all local, state, federal, and international laws and regulations relating to the development, manufacture, use, and sale of Licensed Products.

11.2.   Representations by Ramot. Ramot represents that: (a) it is the owner of the Ramot Patent Rights set forth in Exhibit 1.18(a) free and clear of all liens and encumbrances; (b) it has the right to grant the licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement; (c) it has not granted any rights in or to Ramot Technology which are inconsistent with the rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement to any other party.

11.3.   No Warranty.

11.3.1.   N othing in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any exhibits or attachments hereto) shall be construed as a warranty on the part of Ramot that any results or inventions will be achieved in the Research or that the Ramot Technology, Joint Technology and/or any other results or inventions achieved in the Research are or will be commercially exploitable, and furthermore, Ramot makes no warranties whatsoever as to the commercial or scientific value of the Ramot Technology, Joint Technology and/or as to any results which may be achieved in the Research and/or that any patent will issue from any pending patent applications in the Ramot Patent Rights. Ramot makes no representation that use of the Ramot Technology or Joint Technology will not infringe the patent or proprietary rights of any third party.

11.3.2.   Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no party makes any warranty with respect to any technology, patents, goods, services, rights or other subject matter of this Agreement and hereby disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement with respect to any and all of the foregoing.  
 
11.4.   Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or otherwise, Ramot shall not be liable to Licensee with respect to any subject matter of this Agreement under any contract, negligence, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for (i) any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages or lost profits or (ii) cost of procurement of substitute goods, technology or services.

12.   Indemnification.

12.1   Indemnity. Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ramot, TAU, the Principal Investigators, the other members of the TAU Team, their Affiliates and their respective governors, directors, officers, employees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Ramot Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon any of the Ramot Indemnitees in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments (“Claims”) arising out of any theory of liability (including without limitation actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability and regardless of whether such action has any factual basis) concerning the use of any Ramot Technology or Joint Technology by Licensee, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, or concerning any product, process, or service that is made, used, or sold pursuant to any right or license granted by Ramot to Licensee under this Agreement (except in cases where such claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments result from a willful material breach of this Agreement, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any of the Ramot Indemnitees). The foregoing indemnity shall be the exclusive remedy of the Ramot Indemnitees with respect to liability arising from any such Claims.
 
22

 
12.2   Procedures. If any Ramot Indemnitee receives notice of any Claim, such Ramot Indemnitee shall, as promptly as is reasonably possible, give Licensee notice of such Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice promptly shall only relieve Licensee of any indemnification obligation it may have hereunder to the extent such failure diminishes the ability of Licensee to respond to or to defend the Ramot Indemnitee against such Claim. Ramot and Licensee shall consult and cooperate with each other regarding the response to and the defense of any such Claim and Licensee shall, upon its acknowledgment in writing of its obligation to indemnify the Ramot Indemnitee, be entitled to and shall assume the defense or represent the interests of the Ramot Indemnitee in respect of such Claim, that shall include the right to select and direct legal counsel and other consultants to appear in proceedings on behalf of the Ramot Indemnitee and to propose, accept or reject offers of settlement, all at its sole cost; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be made without the written consent of the Ramot Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

The Company and ACCBT Corp., as the case may be, shall each have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not Ramot has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof.
 
(xi)    Underwriting Requirements . In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Common Stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.2 to include Ramot’s shares of Common Stock in such underwriting unless Ramot accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company and enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriter or underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the managing underwriter determine in its sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company as provided in Section 1.3 below.
 
1.3    Deferral / Cutback Provisions .
 
(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 1.2 relating to a registration by the Company for its own account, if the managing underwriter of the Company’s securities being offered in a public offering pursuant to such registration statement advises the Company that the amount to be sold by Persons other than the Company (including without limitation Ramot and ACCBT Corp) (collectively, “Selling Stockholders”) is greater than the amount that can be offered without adversely affecting the offering of Common Stock by the Company, the Company may, subject to the next following sentence, reduce the amount offered for the accounts of Selling Stockholders (including Ramot and ACCBT Corp., if included in the Selling Stockholders) to a number deemed advisable by such managing underwriter. The number of shares of Common Stock held by Selling Stockholders to be excluded shall be determined in the following order of priority: (1) securities held by any Persons not having any such contractual, incidental “piggyback” registration rights, (2) securities held by any Persons having contractual, incidental “piggyback” registration rights pursuant to any agreement providing similar “piggyback” registration rights to this Agreement, (3) securities held by any Persons having contractual, incidental “piggyback” registration rights pursuant to an agreement providing similar “piggyback” registration rights that expressly provides that the number of such shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in a Company-initiated registered offering shall not be reduced until after any shares of Common Stock held pursuant to contractual rights that do not expressly provide for such priority under such circumstances have been excluded from such underwriting, and (4) a portion of the Registrable Securities and securities held by ACCBT Corp. sought to be included by the holders thereof as determined pro rata based upon the aggregate number of securities proposed to be sold by such holders.
 
5

 
(ii)    Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 1.2 relating to a registration by the Company of the Company's securities held by ACCBT Corp., if the managing underwriter of such securities being offered in a public offering pursuant to such registration statement advises ACCBT Corp that the amount to be sold by Ramot pursuant to such registration is greater than the amount that can be offered without adversely affecting the offering of Common Stock of the Company, the Company may reduce the amount offered for the accounts of Ramot and ACCBT Corp to a number deemed advisable by such managing underwriter pro rata to the aggregate number of securities proposed to be sold by ACCBT Corp and Ramot.
 
6

 
(iii)    The Company shall not be required to effect a registration or take any actions pursuant to this Section 1 in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Securities Act.
 
1.4    Information from Ramot . It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of Ramot that Ramot shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of Ramot’s Registrable Securities. Failure on the part of Ramot to furnish such information to the Company within such reasonable time period as the Company shall specify in its notice to Ramot shall relieve the Company of its obligations to include any Registrable Securities held by Ramot in the registration with respect to which such notice was given.
 
1.5    Expenses of Registration . The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement including all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, but excluding (i) underwriting discounts and commissions and (ii) fees and disbursements of any counsel for Ramot, which shall be borne pro rata by Ramot based upon the number of Registrable Securities that are being registered.
 
1.6    Delay of Registration . Ramot shall not have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
 
1.7    Indemnification . In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:
 
(i)    To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Ramot, the partners or officers, directors and shareholders of Ramot, legal counsel and accountants for Ramot, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for Ramot and each person, if any, who controls Ramot or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “ Violation ”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws; and the Company will reimburse Ramot, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection l.7(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by Ramot, underwriter or controlling person; provided further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of Ramot or underwriter, or any person controlling Ramot or underwriter, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of Ramot or underwriter to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.
 
7

 
(ii)    To the extent permitted by law, Ramot will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Ramot expressly for use in connection with such registration; and Ramot will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection l.7(ii), for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection l.7(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Ramot (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection l.7(ii) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by Ramot.
 
8

 
(iii)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.7.
 
9

 
(iv)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
(v)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
 
(vi)    The obligations of the Company Ramot under this Section 1.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
 
1.8    Assignment of Registration Rights . The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties (including transferees of any shares of Registrable Securities), provided: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.
 
10

 
1.9      No Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights . Ramot hereby acknowledges that nothing herein shall restrict the Company in any way from entering into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 1 hereof or (b) to demand registration of their securities.

The foregoing undertaking shall only apply if identical restrictions are imposed on ACCBT Corp. The underwriters in connection with any public offering by the Company are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 1.10 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.
 
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of Ramot (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
 
1.11    Termination of Registration Rights . Ramot shall not be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 with respect to Registrable Securities held by Ramot after the earlier of (A) a registration statement with respect to the resale of such Registrable Securities shall have been declared effective by the Commission and such securities shall have been sold pursuant thereto, (B) such Registrable Securities shall have been sold in satisfaction of all applicable resale provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (C) Ramot’s Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) or all of Ramot's Registrable Securities may be resold in a single ninety (90) day period under Rule 144(e)(1)(i) of the Securities Act, or (D) such Registrable Securities cease to be issued and outstanding for any reason.

Dear Mr. Niv,
Re: Waiver and Release

I write to confirm in writing our oral agreement that Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (the " Company ") will pay its past due and future payment obligations under Exhibit 2.2.1 of the Research and License Agreement between Ramot and the Company dated March 30, 2006 to Ramot pursuant to the schedule attached hereto, and that Ramot waives and releases the Company and its subsidiary and their respective agents, employees, officers, directors and shareholders from and against all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, controversies, trespasses, damages, judgments, claims, and demands ("Claims"), whenever they arose, asserted or unasserted, which Ramot ever had or may have had prior to the date hereof, with the sole exception of Claims whose factual basis was not known or could not have reasonably been known to Ramot at the date hereof. The attached schedule replaces the previous payment schedule, which was attached to the Research and License Agreement between Ramot and the Company dated March 30, 2006 as Exhibit 2.2.1 and any waivers or amendments thereto or restatements thereof prior to and including the date hereof.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company fails to make a payment to Ramot on the relevant date specified in the schedule attached hereto, and the Company fails to cure such default within 7 business days following notice of such failure by Ramot to the Company, all claims of Ramot toward the Company which would otherwise be waived or released under this Waiver and Release shall be reinstated.
 
Please accede to and confirm the above with your signature in the space provided below.
