NOTE 1
-
GENERAL
 
 
A.
Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (formerly: Golden Hand Resources Inc.) (The "Company") was incorporated in the State of Washington on September 22, 2000.

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

 
C.
On July 8, 2004, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Ramot of Tel Aviv University Ltd. ("Ramot"), an Israeli corporation, to acquire certain stem cell technology (see Note 4). Subsequent to this agreement, the Company decided to focus on the development of novel cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease, based on the acquired technology and research to be conducted and funded by the Company.
 
Following the licensing agreement dated July 8, 2004, the management of the Company decided to abandon all old activities related to the sale of the digital data recorder product. The discontinuation of this activity was accounted for under the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 360-10 (formerly "SFAS" 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".
 
 
D.
On October 25, 2004, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Ltd. ("BCT").

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

 
F.

G.
On December 2006, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Washington to Delaware.
 
 
H.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially most of its efforts to research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring assets and raising capital. In addition, the Company has not generated revenues. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and reporting by development Stage Enterprises" ASC 915-10 (formerly "SFAS" 7).
 
 
I.

GENERAL (Cont.)

 
GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s operations for the nine months ended on September 30, 2011, resulted in a net loss of $2,496. The Company’s balance sheet reflects accumulated deficit of $42,656. These conditions, together with the fact that the Company is a development stage Company and has no revenues nor are revenues expected in the near future, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue operating as a “going concern” is dependent on several factors, among them is its ability to raise sufficient additional working capital.

In 2009 the Company decided to focus only on the effort to commence clinical trials in ALS amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2011.

In February 2011, the Company raised approximately $3.8 million from institutional and private investors. However, there can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

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

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 September 30, 2011 and for the nine months then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011.

RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

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

NOTE 4

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

On December 24, 2009, the Company and Ramot entered into a settlement agreement which amended the Research and License Agreement, as amended and restated pursuant to which, among other things, the following matters were agreed upon:

a)  
Ramot released the Company from its obligation to fund the extended research period in the total amount of $1,140. Therefore, the Company reversed an expense in 2009, equal to $760, from its research and development expenses that were previously expensed.

b)  
Past due amounts of $240 for the initial research period plus interest of $32 owed by the Company to Ramot were converted into 1,120,000 shares of Common Stock on December 30, 2009. Ramot was required to deposit the shares with a broker and only sell the shares in the open market after 185 days from the issuance date.

c)  
In the event that the total proceeds generated by sales of the shares on December 31, 2010, together with the March 31, 2010 payment, are less than $240 on or prior to December 31, 2010, then on such date the Company would be required to pay to Ramot the difference between the proceeds that Ramot has received from sales of the shares up to such date together with the September Payment (if any) that has been transferred to Ramot up to such date, and $240.  Related compensation in the amount of $51 was recorded as research and development expenses.

In January 2011, Ramot exercised additional 167,530 Common Stock of the Company, for $35, which finalized the sale of the 1,120,000 Common Stock of the Company granted to Ramot for $235. In February 2011, the Company paid the remaining $5 and finalized the balance due to Ramot according to the settlement agreement between the parties dated December 24, 2009.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadassah Medical Centre to conduct clinical trials in up to 26 ALS patients in 2011.

On June 27, 2011, the Company entered into the Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Clinical Trial Agreement. According to the Amendment the total payment due to Hadassah decreased from $992,880 to $773,400 and the termination provisions were changed so that only the Company may terminate the agreement upon 60 days’ notice.

CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
 
 
A.
On July 8, 2004, the Company entered into consulting agreements with each of Prof. Eldad Melamed and Dr. Daniel Offen (together, the "Consultants"), under which the Consultants provide the Company scientific and medical consulting services in consideration for a monthly payment of $6 each. In addition, the Company granted each of the Consultants, a fully vested warrant to purchase 1,097,215 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants issued pursuant to the agreements were issued to the Consultants effective as of November 4, 2004. Each of the warrants was exercisable for a seven-year period beginning on November 4, 2005. As of September 2011, all the above warrants had been exercised.
 
 
B.
On December 16, 2010, the Company granted to the Consultants 1,100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for services rendered through December 31, 2010. Related compensation in the amount of $220 is recorded as research and development expense.

SHORT-TERM CONVERTIBLE NOTE
 
On December 13, 2009, the Company issued a $135 Convertible Promissory Note to its legal advisor for $217 in legal fees accrued through October 31, 2009. Interest on the Note accrued at the rate of 4%. The legal advisor had the right at any time to convert all or part of the outstanding principal and interest amount of the note into shares of Common Stock based on the five day average closing stock price prior to conversion election.

The difference between the amount the Company owed to the legal advisor and the principal of the Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $82 was deducted from general and administrative expenses. Since the outcome of the issuance of the shares was to relieve the debtor from its obligation, based on guidance in ASC 860-10 and ASC 450-20 Extinguishment of Liabilities” the Company derecognized the liability with the difference recognized in earnings.

 SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains numerous statements, descriptions, forecasts and projections, regarding Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. and its potential future business operations and performance. These statements, descriptions, forecasts and projections constitute “forward-looking statements,” and as such involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance and achievements to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance and achievements expressed or implied by any such “forward-looking statements.” Some of these are described under “Risk Factors” in this report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. 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 company developing stem cell therapeutic products based on technologies enabling the in-vitro differentiation of bone marrow stem cells into glial-like cells. The Company aims to become a leader in adult stem cell transplantation for neurodegenerative diseases. Our technology entails exploiting the patient’s own bone marrow stem cells to generate glial-like cells that may provide in the future an effective treatment for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”), Parkinson’s Disease (“PD”), Multiple Sclerosis (“MS”) and Spinal Cord Injury.
 
Our core technology was developed in collaboration with prominent neurologist, Prof. Eldad Melamed, former head of Neurology of the Rabin Medical Center and member of the Scientific Committee of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and expert Cell biologist Prof. Daniel Offen, of the Felsenstein Medical Research Center of Tel Aviv University.
 
The Company’s team is among the first to demonstrate formation of neurotrophic-factor secreting cells (glial-like cells) from in-vitro differentiated bone marrow cells that produce neurotrophic factors (“NTF”) including GDNF, BDNF and additional factors. 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 condition.
 
The Company’s aim is to provide neural-supporting stem cell transplants that are expected to maintain, preserve and possibly restore the damaged neurons, protecting them from further degeneration.

The Company holds exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the technology, through a licensing agreement with Ramot, the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University, Israel.
 
As a result of limited cash resources and the desire to take a faster path to clinical trials, since the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company has focused all of its efforts on ALS, and is currently not allocating resources towards PD or other neurodegenerative diseases.
 
We are currently initiating the clinical developmental stage of our technology and we intend to begin the process of seeking regulatory approval from regulatory agencies in the U.S.
 
In June 2011, we initiated a Phase I/II clinical study for ALS patients using our autologous NurOwn™ stem cell therapy, after receiving final approval from the Israel Ministry of Health (“MOH”).

In February 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted Orphan Drug designation to the Company’s NurOwn™ autologous adult stem cell product candidate for the treatment of ALS. Orphan Drug status entitles BrainStorm to seven years of marketing exclusivity for NurOwn™ upon regulatory approval, as well as the opportunity to apply for grant funding from the FDA of up to $400,000 per year for four years to defray costs of clinical trial expenses, tax credits for clinical research expenses and potential exemption from the FDA's application user fee.
Our efforts are directed at:

 
·
Finalizing a GMP compliant production process;
 
·
Demonstrating safety in human ALS patients;
 
·
Setting up centralized facilities to provide the therapeutic products and services for transplantation in patients in the US and in Europe, as part of the clinical development program; and
 
·
Submitting an IND to the FDA.

Our Approach
 
Our research team led by Prof. Melamed and Prof. Offen has shown that human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be expanded and induced to differentiate into two types of brain cells, neuron-like and astrocyte-like, each having different therapeutic potential, as follows:
 
NurOwn™ program one - Neurotrophic-factors (“NTF”) secreting cells (MSC-NTF) - human bone marrow derived NTF secreting cells for treatment of, ALS, PD and MS. In-vitro differentiation of the expanded human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in a proprietary medium led to the generation of neurotrophic-factors secreting cells. The in-vitro differentiated cells were shown to express and secrete GDNF, as well as other NTFs, into the growth medium. GDNF is a neurotrophic-factor, previously shown to protect, preserve and even restore neuronal function, particularly dopaminergic cells in PD, but also neuron function in other neurodegenerative pathologies such as ALS and Huntington’s disease. 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 NTF secreting cells, when transplanted into a 6-OHDA lesion PD rat model, show significant efficacy. Within weeks of the transplantation, there was an improvement of more than 50% in the animals’ characteristic disease symptoms.

We have optimized the proprietary processes for induction of differentiation of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells into differentiated cells that produce NTF (MSC-NTF).  The optimization and process development is conducted in Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) compliance.

NurOwn™ program (future) two - Dopaminergic 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.

Our technology is based on the NurOwn™ products - an autologous cell therapeutic modality, comprising the extraction of the patient bone marrow, which is then processed into the appropriate neuronal-like cells and re-implanted into the patient’s muscles, spinal cord or brain. This approach is taken in order to increase patient safety and minimize any chance of immune reaction or cell rejection.
 
The therapeutic modality will comprise the following:
 
·
Bone marrow aspiration from patient;
 
 
·
Isolation and expansion of the mesenchymal stem cells;
 
 
·
Differentiation of the expanded stem cells into neurotrophic-factor secreting cells; and
 
 
·
Autologous transplantation into the patient into the site of damage.

 
Results of Operations

The Company has been a development stage company since its inception. For the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until September 30, 2011, the Company has not earned any revenues from operations. The Company does not expect to earn revenues from operations until 2013. In addition, the Company has incurred operating costs of approximately $2,491,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and approximately $40,019,000 for the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until September 30, 2011. Operating expenses incurred since inception were approximately $16,257,000 for general and administrative expenses and $23,762,000 for research and development costs.
 
Research and Development, net:

Research and development expenses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $1,032,000 and $958,000, respectively. The research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 include participation from The Office of the Chief Scientist of $342,000 compared to an immaterial amount in the nine months ended on September 30, 2010. In 2010, the Office of the Chief Scientist did not approve its participation in 2010 until December 2010. Therefore, the Office of the Chief Scientist did not materially participate in the first nine months of 2010.
 
 
37

 
 
The increase in research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to: (i) initiation costs for the clinical trial; (ii) rent of clean rooms from Hadassah; and (iii) the increase in development activities, including sterility validation studies and other tests required for clinical trials.

General and Administrative:
 
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $1,459,000 and $902,000, respectively.

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to an increase of $404,000 in compensation expenses for options granted to directors and employees and an increase in legal costs.

Financial Expenses:

Financial expenses increased by $83,000 to expenses of $132,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from expenses of $49,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
The increase in financial expenses is attributable to a $192,000 expense from conversion of a debt to a consultant to Common Stock of the Company, less financial income attributable mainly to exchange rate differences.

Other Income:

Other income is $132,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to zero for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, and due to settlement agreements that we reached with third parties, that are lower than the amounts due to the third parties as recorded in the financial statements.

Net Loss:

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2,496,000, as compared to a net loss of $1,933,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was $0.02.

The weighted average number of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 118,106,658, compared to 87,592,831 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
The increase in the weighted average number of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was due to (i) the issuances of shares in private placements, (ii) the conversion of convertible loans, (iii) the exercise of warrants and (iv) the issuance of shares to service providers.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through private sales of its common stock and warrants and the issuance of convertible promissory notes. At September 30, 2011, we had $2,797,000 in total current assets and $808,000 in total current liabilities.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,752,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Cash used for operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributed to cost of clinical trials, rent of clean rooms and materials for clinical trials, payroll costs, rent, outside legal fee expenses and public relations expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $46,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. 
 
 
38

 

 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,095,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and is primarily attributable to institutional and private fund raising and from funds received from exercise of options.

Our material cash needs for the next 12 months include the payments due under an agreement with Hadassah to conduct clinical trials in ALS patients, under which we must pay to Hadassah an amount of (i) up to $32,225 per patient (up to $773,400 in the aggregate) and (ii) $31,500 per month for rent and operation of the GMP facility in anticipation of Hadassah's clinical trials.
 
Our other material cash needs for the next 12 months will include payments of (i) employee salaries, (ii) patents, (iii) construction fees for facilities to be used in our research and development and (iv) fees to our consultants and legal advisors.

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

 
our ability to obtain funding from third parties, including any future collaborative partners;
 
 
the scope, rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development programs;
 
 
the time and costs required to gain regulatory approvals;
 
 
the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;
 
 
the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patents, patent applications, patent claims, trademarks and other intellectual property rights;
 
 
the effect of competition and market developments; and
 
 
future pre-clinical and clinical trial results.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

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

 
39

 
 
There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. For information about critical accounting policies, see the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
  
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

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

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management identified the following material weakness in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, which continued to exist as of September 30, 2011:

 
·
The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements.
 
Nevertheless, based on a number of factors, including the performance of additional procedures performed by management designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the consolidated financial statements included with this quarterly report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
 
 
40

 
 
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

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

For a description of legal proceedings affecting the Company refer to Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. There were no additional material developments to the legal proceedings affecting the Company in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011.

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business, which we consider routine and incidental to our business. We currently are not a party to any material legal proceedings, other than as described in Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
There have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

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

On September 15, 2011, Fidelity Venture Capital Ltd. exercised a warrant, dated as of March 1, 2011, for the purchase of 187,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The exercise price paid upon the exercise of the warrant was $0.28 per share for a total of $52,500, which has been received by the Company.

The issuance of the securities described in this Item 2 was effected without registration in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a sale by the Company not involving a public offering.  No underwriters were involved with the issuance of such securities.
