Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 15, 2006, and previously was incorporated in the State of Washington. In October 2004, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Ltd. ('BCT') in Israel, which currently conducts all of the research and development activities of the Company. BCT formed wholly-owned subsidiaries Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics UK Ltd., in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2013 (currently inactive), Advanced Cell Therapies Ltd. in Israel on June 21, 2018 and Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Limited in Ireland on October 1, 2019.

The Common Stock is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol 'BCLI'.

The Company, through BCT, holds rights to commercialize certain stem cell technology developed by Ramot of Tel Aviv University Ltd. ('Ramot'), (see Note 3). Using this technology, the Company has been developing novel adult stem cell therapies for debilitating neurodegenerative disorders such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PMS) and Parkinson's disease. The Company developed a proprietary process, called NurOwn®, for the propagation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and their differentiation into neurotrophic factor secreting cells. These cells are then transplanted at or near the site of damage, offering the hope of more effectively treating neurodegenerative diseases. The process is currently autologous, or self-transplanted.

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to research and development. The Company is still in its development and clinical stage and has not yet generated revenues. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and expects to continue to incur operating losses for the near-term. The extent of the Company's future operating losses and the timing of becoming profitable are uncertain. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $156 million. The extent of the Company's future operating losses and the timing of becoming profitable are uncertain.

The Company's primary sources of cash have been proceeds from the issuance and sale of its Common Stock and warrants, the exercise of warrants, sales of Common Stock via its ATM program and other funding transactions. While the Company has been successful in raising financing recently and in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future on a timely basis on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The Company has not yet commercialized any of its product candidates. Even if the Company commercializes one or more of its product candidates, it may not become profitable in the near-term. The Company's ability to achieve profitability depends on a number of factors, including its ability to obtain regulatory approval for its product candidates, successfully complete any post-approval regulatory obligations and successfully commercialize its product candidates alone or in partnership.

The Company believes its existing cash will be sufficient to fund its anticipated operating cash requirements for at least twelve months following the date of this filing. The Company currently has sufficient cash to execute on its Phase 2 AD clinical trial and support its operating activities. Management expects that the Company will continue to generate losses from the clinical development and regulatory activities, which will result in a negative cash flow from operating activity. If the Company decides to file a BLA for its ALS program and is granted a BLA approval, additional capital raise will be needed to commercialize Nurown® for ALS, and to conduct additional trials that may be needed for other indications. The actual amount of cash that the Company will need to operate is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to, the timing, design and conduct of clinical trials for its product candidates along with cost to commercialize these product candidates.

In early 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic. This pandemic has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on its operations and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company's results of operations and financial position as of March 31, 2021. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ('GAAP') for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. 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 considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed). For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

B. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements.

C. Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's condensed financial statements.

D. Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

In 2004, the Company entered into a Research and License Agreement, as amended and restated, with Ramot (the 'License Agreement'). Pursuant to the remuneration terms of the License Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Ramot royalties on Net Sales of the Licensed Product as follows:

So long as the making, producing, manufacturing, using, marketing, selling, importing or exporting (collectively, the 'Commercialization') of such Licensed Product is covered by a Valid Claim or is covered by Orphan Drug Status, the Company shall pay Ramot a royalty of 5%of the Net Sales received by the Company and resulting from such Commercialization; and

In the event the Commercialization of the Licensed Product is neither covered by a Valid Claim nor by Orphan Drug status, the Company shall pay Ramot a royalty of 3%of the Net Sales received by the Company resulting from such Commercialization. This royalty shall be paid from the First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product and for a period of fifteen (15) years thereafter.

Capitalized terms set forth above which are not defined shall have the meanings attributed to them under the License Agreement.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases totaled $6,426 and $6,478, respectively. The impact of adopting the new lease standard was not material to the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods presented.

NOTE 7 - STOCK CAPITAL (Cont.):

Private placements and public offerings:

2018 Warrant Exercise Agreement:

On June 6, 2018, the Company entered into a Warrant Exercise Agreement (the '2018 Warrant Exercise Agreement') with certain holders (the '2018 Warrant Holders') of warrants (the '2015 Warrants') to purchase Common Stock. The 2015 Warrants were originally issued in the Company's January 8, 2015 private placement. Pursuant to the 2018 Warrant Exercise Agreement, the 2018 Warrant Holders exercised their 2015 Warrants for a total of 2,458,201 shares of Common Stock at an amended exercise price of $5 per share. The warrant exercises generated gross cash proceeds to the Company of $12.3 million. In addition, the Company issued new warrants to the 2018 Warrant Holders to purchase an aggregate 2,458,201 unregistered shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $9.00, with an expiration date of December 31, 2020 (the '2018 Warrants'). In connection with the issuance of the 2019 Warrants (described below), certain 2018 Warrants were amended on August 2, 2019 to reduce the exercise price to $7.00 per share and to extend the expiration date to December 31, 2021 (the 'Amended 2018 Warrants').

Between July 20, 2020 and July 24, 2020, 2018 Warrant Holders exercised an aggregate of 280,000 shares of the Amended 2018 Warrants (the '2018 Exercised Shares'), which exercises generated gross cash proceeds to the Company of $1,960,000.

The 2018 Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or state securities laws. The shares issuable upon exercise of the Amended 2018 Warrants have been registered for resale on the Company's registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225995). The exercised shares have been registered for resale on the Company's registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-201704). The issuance of the exercised shares and 2018 Warrants was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company made this determination based on the representations that each party is an 'accredited investor' within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D.

2019 Warrant Exercise Agreement:

On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Warrant Exercise Agreement which generated gross cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.3 million. Pursuant to the agreement, certain holders (the '2019 Warrant Holders') of the 2018 Warrants agreed to exercise 842,000 shares of Common Stock of their 2018 Warrants, at an amended exercise price of $3.90 per share, and the Company agreed to issue new warrant shares to the Holders to purchase 842,000 shares of Common Stock (the '2019 Warrants'), at an exercise price of $7.00, with an expiration date of December 31, 2021. The 2018 Warrants held by the 2019 Warrant Holders, to the extent not exercised, were also amended to reduce the exercise price to $7.00 per share and to extend the expiration date to December 31, 2021 (the 'Amended 2018 Warrants').

Between July 15, 2020 and July 24, 2020, 2019 Warrant Holders exercised an aggregate of 620,000 shares of the 2019 Warrants (the '2019 Exercised Shares'), which exercises generated gross cash proceeds to the Company of $ 4,340,000.

NOTE 7 - STOCK CAPITAL (Cont.):

Share-based compensation to employees and to directors:

Under the 2014 Plans, the Company may award stock options to certain employees, officers, directors, and/or service providers. The stock options vest in accordance with such conditions and restrictions determined by the GNC Committee.

These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with the Company through a specified period. Stock options awarded are valued based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Company recognizes this value as stock compensation expense over the periods in which the options vest. Use of the Black Scholes option-pricing model requires that the Company make certain assumptions, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, and the expected life of the options. The Company did not grant stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

A summary of the Company's option activity related to options to employees and directors, and related information as of March 31, 2021 is as follows:


	For the Three months ended

Exercisable at March 31, 2021	981,840	2.3868	1,588,981

* Represents Employee Stock Options only (not including RSUs).

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the fair market value of the Company's shares on March 31, 2021, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options on those dates) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on those dates.

As of March 31, 2021, there was $2,386 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.88 years. Compensation expense recorded by the Company in respect of its stock-based employees and directors compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718-10 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $290 and $390 respectively.

Company Overview

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading biotechnology company committed to the development and commercialization of best-in-class autologous cellular therapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases including: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ('ALS', also known as Lou Gehrig's disease); Progressive Multiple Sclerosis ('PMS'); Alzheimer's disease (AD); and other neurodegenerative diseases. NurOwn®, our proprietary platform, leverages cell culture methods to induce autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs), modulate neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease processes, promote neuronal survival and improve neurological function.

NurOwn® has been evaluated in a Phase 3 ALS and a Phase 2 PMS clinical trial and is planned to be evaluated in a Phase 2 AD clinical trial. We announced top-line data from our Phase 3 ALS trial on November 17, 2020. The U.S. Phase 2 PMS trial had faced slight delays in enrollment due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, but as of June 2020, all the trial sites were back on track to continue with the trial. On March 24, 2021, we announced positive topline data from our Phase 2 trial evaluating three repeated administrations of NurOwn®, each given 2 months apart, as a treatment for PMS. On June 24, 2020, we announced a new clinical program focused on the development of NurOwn® as a treatment for AD. As part of the newly announced program, we are planning a multi-national Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe to evaluate biomarkers and safety of NurOwn® treatment in patients with prodromal to mild AD.

Our wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Ltd. ('Israeli Subsidiary'), holds exclusive rights to commercialize NurOwn® technology through a licensing agreement with Ramot ('Ramot'), the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University, Israel. Our Israeli Subsidiary was granted approval by the Israeli Ministry of Health ('MoH') to treat ALS patients with NurOwn® under the Hospital Exemption Pathway ('HE').

NurOwn® has a strong and comprehensive intellectual property portfolio and was granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Orphan Drug status by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for ALS. For more information, visit BrainStorm's website at www.brainstorm-cell.com.

Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing and integrating our existing and new employees, advisors and consultants. The principal purposes of our equity and cash incentive plans are to attract, retainand reward personnel through the granting of stock-based and cash-based compensation awards, in order to increase stockholder value and the success of our company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and achieve our objectives. We currently employ 39 employees in the United States and in Israel. Most of the senior management team is based in the United States, and all of our clinical trial sites for ALS and PMS are in the United States. The clinical trial sites for our planned AD trial will be in Europe. Our R&D center is located in Petach Tikva, Israel. In addition, we currently lease a GMP certified manufacturing facility in Jerusalem, Israel, and have recently leased a new cleanroom facility, which includes three state-of-the-art cleanrooms, at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center to manufacture NurOwn® mainly for expanding our production capacity into The European Union (EU) and the local Israeli market.

The pandemic caused by the novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV 2 (COVID-19) disease has currently impacted and may continue to adversely impact our business, including our preclinical studies and clinical trials. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID- 19 has spread worldwide, significantly impacting the United States, Europe and Israel, where the Company conducts its operations, as well as its clinical trials for NurOwn®. In response to the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure safety of employees and continuity of business operations, we closed our offices, with our administrative employees continuing their work remotely and limited the number of staff in any given research and development laboratory. Our research and development laboratory in Israel and manufacturing sites in U.S. and in Israel remain open. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. Our management team is actively monitoring this situation and the possible effects on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. For additional information on risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, please see Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors - Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Recent Highlights

●	We have made significant progress in the past 12 months announcing top-line data from our NurOwn® Phase 3 ALS and Phase 2 PMS clinical trials in the US (see details below).

●

On June 24, 2020, we announced a new clinical program focused on the development of NurOwn® as a treatment for AD. As part of the newly announced program, we are planning a multi-national Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe to evaluate biomarkers and safety of NurOwn® treatment in patients with prodromal to mild AD. The 52-week, open-label, proof-of-concept clinical trial in Europe is designed to evaluate NurOwn® in up to 40 participants with prodromal to mild AD. It is currently expected to be conducted at the VU University Medical Center (Amsterdam) and Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris), with additional clinical trial sites in the Netherlands and France.

●

On July 23, 2020, we announced the results of a groundbreaking pre-clinical study of NurOwn® derived Exosome-based treatment for COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Intratracheal administration of exosomes extracted from MSC-NTF cells (NurOwn®) resulted in statistically significant improvement in multiple lung parameters in a mouse model. With this study, the Company has successfully completed its first milestone in developing an innovative exosome-based platform-technology for the treatment of severe COVID-19 infection.

●

On September 25, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement (the 'Distribution Agreement') with SVB Leerink LLC ('Leerink') and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. ('Raymond James' and, together with Leerink, the 'Agents') pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time, through the Agents, shares of Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $45,000,000, which aggregate amount includes any amount unsold pursuant to the March 6, 2020 ATM (the 'September 25, 2020 ATM'). Sales under the September 25, 2020 ATM are made by any method permitted by law that is deemed to be an 'at the market' offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for the Shares, through a market maker or as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Agents. The Distribution Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company's prior agreement in connection with the March 6, 2020 ATM. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,156,897 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the September 25, 2020 ATM at an average price of $6.33 per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately $7.3 million. Since inception and as of March 31, 2021, the Company has sold 4,721,282 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $29.1 million under the September 25, 2020 ATM.

●

On November 17, 2020, we announced top-line data from our Phase 3 ALS trial in the US. Results from the trial showed that NurOwn® was generally well tolerated in the population of rapidly progressing ALS patients. While showing a numerical improvement in the treated group compared to placebo across the primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, the trial did not reach statistically significant results. In an important, pre-specified subgroup with early disease based on the ALSFRS-R baseline total score of 35, we believe NurOwn® demonstrated a clinically meaningful treatment response across the primary and key secondary endpoints and remained consistent with our pre-trial, data-derived assumption. In this subgroup, there were 34.6% responders who met the primary endpoint definition on NurOwn and 15.6% on Placebo (p=0.288), and the average change from baseline to week 28 in ALSFRS-R total score was -1.77 on NurOwn and -3.78 on Placebo (p=0.198), an improvement of 2.01 ALSFRS-R points favoring NurOwn®. No new safety concerns were identified. On February 22, 2021, we announced high-level FDA feedback on our NurOwn® ALS Clinical Development Program. The FDA concluded from their initial review that the current level of clinical data does not provide the threshold of substantial evidence that FDA is seeking to support a Biologics License Application (BLA). In addition, the FDA advised that this recommendation does not preclude Brainstorm from proceeding with a BLA submission. We are in active consultation with principal investigators, ALS experts, expert statisticians, regulatory advisors, and ALS advocacy groups to assess the benefit/risk of a BLA submission before making a final decision.

●

On January 20, 2021, we announced the peer-reviewed publication of a preclinical study in the journal Stem Cell and Research Therapy. The study, entitled 'MSC-NTF (NurOwn®) exosomes: a novel therapeutic modality in the mouse LPS-induced ARDS model,' evaluated the use of NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cell) derived exosomes in a mouse model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

●	On February 9, 2021, we announced feedback from our Type-C Meeting with FDA to review specific aspects of our planned manufacturing modifications to support the development of a semi-automated manufacturing process for NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cells).

On March 24, 2021, we announced positive topline data in our Phase 2 Study trial evaluating three repeated administrations of NurOwn®, each given 2 months apart, as a treatment for PMS. The 28-week open-label Phase 2 clinical trial enrolled 20 primary and secondary PMS patients based on the 2017 revised McDonald Criteria, ages 18-65, with baseline Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores between 3-6.5, without evidence of relapse within 6 months of enrollment, able to walk 25 feet in 60 seconds or less and were permitted to be on a stable dose of disease modifying therapy. Of the 20 patients enrolled, 18 were treated and 16 (80%) completed the study. Two patients discontinued related to procedure-related AEs. There were no study deaths or AEs related to multiple sclerosis worsening. The mean age of study patients was 47, 56% were female, and mean baseline EDSS score was 5.4. The clinical trial compared clinical efficacy outcomes with a 48-patient matched clinical cohort from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigations in MS at the Brigham & Woman's Hospital (CLIMB Study). MS Function and Cognition measures in the top-line results included the timed 25-foot walk (T25FW); 9-hole peg test (9-HPT); Low Contrast Letter Acuity (LCLA); Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT); and the 12 item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12). Prespecified response thresholds of 25% improvement in the T25FW and 9-HPT from baseline to 28 weeks were observed in 14% and 13% of NurOwn treated patients, respectively, and was observed in 0% of the pre-specified matched historical controls in the CLIMB registry. Thirty eight percent of NurOwn treated patients showed at least a 10-point improvement in the MSWS-12 from baseline to week 28, a patient-reported outcome that evaluates walking function. In addition, 47% of treated patients showed at least an 8-letter improvement across 28 weeks in the LCLA, a visual function test, and 67% showed at least a 3-point improvement in the SDMT, a measure of cognitive processing. In addition, NurOwn treated patients showed a mean improvement from baseline of 10% in T25FW and a 4.8% improvement from baseline on the 9-HPT dominant hand, compared to 1.8% and 1.4% worsening respectively in matched historical controls from the CLIMB registry. Also, NurOwn treated patients showed a 6% improvement from baseline in MSWS-12. All results reported are based on observed data. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers were obtained at 3 consecutive time points, just prior to each intrathecal administration of NurOwn. We observed increases in neuroprotective molecules (VEGF, HGF) and decreases in neuroinflammatory biomarkers (MCP-1, and Osteopontin) in the CSF samples. Additional secondary efficacy data, and detailed CSF and blood biomarker analyses are currently underway. We plan to present a detailed summary of the study outcomes at an upcoming scientific meeting, publish our findings in a peer-reviewed journal and consider how best to advance NurOwn in PMS.

NurOwn® Proprietary Technology

NurOwn® technology is based on an innovative manufacturing protocol, which induces the differentiation of purified and expanded bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells ('MSC') and consistently generates cells that release high levels of multiple neurotrophic factors ('MSC-NTF' cells) to modulate neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease processes, promote neuronal survival and improve neurological function. These factors are known to be critical for the growth, survival and differentiation of neurons, including: glial-derived neurotrophic factor ('GDNF'); brain-derived neurotrophic factor ('BDNF'); vascular endothelial growth factor ('VEGF'); and hepatocyte growth factor ('HGF'), among others. VEGF is one of the most potent neuronal and motor neuron survival factors and has demonstrated important neuroprotective effects in ALS and several other neurodegenerative diseases.

NurOwn® manufacturing involves a multi-step process that includes the following: harvesting and isolating undifferentiated stem cells from the patient's own bone marrow; processing of cells at the manufacturing site; cryopreservation of MSC to enable multiple treatments from a single bone marrow sample; and intrathecal ('IT') administration of MSC-NTF cells into the same patient by standard lumbar puncture. This administration procedure does not require hospitalization and has been shown to be generally well tolerated in multiple CNS clinical trials to date. The completed NurOwn® U.S. Phase 3 ALS and the NurOwn® U.S. Phase 2 PMS trials evaluated the therapeutic potential of repeated intrathecal MSC-NTF cell administration (three doses at bi-monthly intervals). The planned EU Phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate biomarkers and safety of NurOwn® in prodromal to mild AD patients also using repeated intrathecal MSC-NTF cell administration (three doses at bi-monthly intervals).

The proprietary technology and manufacturing processing of NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cells) for clinical use is conducted in full compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice ('cGMP'). The NurOwn® proprietary technology is fully owned to or developed by our Israeli Subsidiary. All granted patents related to NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cells) manufacturing process are fully assigned to or owned by our Israeli Subsidiary (please see Intellectual Property section for details).

The NurOwn® Transplantation Process

●	Bone marrow aspiration from the patient;

●	MSC Isolation and propagation;

Table of Contents

●	MSC Cryopreservation;

●	MSC thawing and differentiation into neurotrophic-factor secreting (MSC-NTF; NurOwn®) cells; and

●	Intrathecal administration into the patient's cerebrospinal fluid by standard lumbar puncture.

Differentiation before Transplantation

We believe that the ability to induce autologous adult mesenchymal stem cells into differentiated MSC-NTF cells makes NurOwn® uniquely suited for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

The specialized MSC-NTF cells secrete multiple neurotrophic factors and immunomodulatory cytokines that may result in:

●	Protection of existing neurons;

●	Promotion of neuronal repair;

●	Neuronal functional improvement; and

●	Immunomodulation and reduced neuroinflammation.

Autologous (Self-transplantation)

The NurOwn® technology platform is autologous, using the patient's own bone-marrow derived stem cells for 'self-transplantation.' In autologous cellular treatment, there is no introduction of unrelated donor antigens that may lead to alloimmunity, no risk of rejection and no need for treatment with immunosuppressive agents, which can cause severe and/or long-term side effects. In addition, the use of adult stem cells is free of several ethical concerns associated with the use of embryonic-derived stem cells in some countries.

NurOwn® ALS Clinical Program

We announced top-line data from the Phase 3 clinical trial of NurOwn® in ALS on November 17, 2020. We have been granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') for this indication, and been granted Orphan Drug Status, in the U.S. and Europe, which provides us the potential for an extended period of exclusivity.

Phase 1/2 ALS Open Label Trials

We have completed two early stage Phase 1/2 and 2 open-label clinical trials of NurOwn® in patients with ALS at the Hadassah Medical Center ('Hadassah') in Jerusalem, Israel, as well as a Phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial at three prestigious U.S. Medical centers - the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, Massachusetts Memorial Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts, and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota - all highly experienced in the management and investigation of ALS.

The first two open-label trials were approved by the Israeli MoH. The first-in-human trial, a Phase 1 safety and efficacy trial of NurOwn® administered either intramuscularly or intrathecally in 12 ALS patients, was initiated in June 2011. In the Phase 2 dose-escalating study, 14 ALS patients were administered NurOwn® by a combined route of intramuscular and intrathecal administration. These studies demonstrated the safety of NurOwn® by both routes of administration and showed preliminary signs of efficacy.

In January 2016, the results of the two completed Phase 1/2 study and Phase 2 open label trials were published in JAMA Neurology. This demonstrated a slower rate of disease progression following MSC-NTF cell transplantation as measured by the ALSFRS-R, the gold standard for the evaluation of ALS functional status, and Forced Vital Capacity ('FVC'), a measure of pulmonary function, as well as positive trends in the rate of decline of muscle volume and the compound motor axon potential ('CMAPs'). This was the first published clinical data using autologous mesenchymal stem cells, induced under culture conditions to produce NTFs, with the potential to deliver a combined neuroprotective and immunomodulatory therapeutic effect in ALS and potentially modify the course of this disease.

Phase 2 ALS Randomized Trial

The Phase 2 U.S. study was conducted under an FDA Investigational New Drug ('IND') application. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating NurOwn® in ALS patients was conducted at three clinical sites: (i) the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, (ii) Massachusetts Memorial Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts, and (iii) the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. For this trial, NurOwn® was manufactured at the Connell and O'Reilly Cell Manipulation Core Facility at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and at the Human Cellular Therapy Lab at the Mayo Clinic. In this study, 48 patients were randomized 3:1 to receive NurOwn® or placebo.

Results of this Phase 2 Study were published in the peer reviewed Journal 'Neurology'. The publication entitled 'NurOwn, Phase 2, Randomized, Clinical Trial in Patients with ALS: Safety, Clinical, and Biomarker Results' was published in December 2019.

Key findings from the trial were as follows:

The study achieved its primary objective, demonstrating that NurOwn® transplantation was well-tolerated. There were no discontinuations from the trial due to AEs and there were no deaths in the study. The most common adverse events (mild or moderate severity), were transient procedure-related AEs such as headache, back pain, pyrexia arthralgia and injection-site discomfort, which were more commonly seen in the NurOwn®-treated participants compared to placebo.

NurOwn® achieved multiple secondary efficacy endpoints, showing evidence of a clinically meaningful benefit. Notably, response rates in the ALS functional rating scale (48-point ALSFRS-R outcome measure) were higher in NurOwn®-treated participants, compared to placebo, at all study timepoints over 24 weeks.

A pre-specified responder analysis examined percentage improvements in the post treatment ALSFRS-R slope (in points change per month) compared to pre-treatment slope and demonstrated that a higher proportion of NurOwn® treated participants achieved a 100% improvement in the post-treatment vs. pre-treatment slope, compared to the placebo group. This analysis also demonstrated that a higher proportion of the NurOwn® treated participants achieved a 1.5 point per month or greater improvement in the post-treatment vs. pre-treatment ALSFRS-R slope, compared to the placebo group.

The treatment effects were greater in the rapid progressor subgroup (in which pretreatment ALSFRS-R declined by 2 or more points in the three months pre-treatment).

As an important confirmation of NurOwn®'s mechanism of action, levels of neurotrophic factors and inflammatory markers were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid ('CSF') samples collected from participants pre and two weeks post treatment. In the samples of those participants treated with NurOwn®, statistically significant increases in levels of neurotrophic factors VEGF, HGF and LIF and a statistically significant reduction in inflammatory markers MCP-1, SDF-1 and CHIT-1 were observed post-treatment. Furthermore, the observed reduction in inflammatory markers correlated with ALS functional improvements. These clinical-biomarker correlations were not seen in placebo-treated participants, consistent with the proposed combined neuroprotective and immunomodulatory mechanism of action of NurOwn® in ALS.

In summary, a higher proportion of NurOwn® treated participants, particularly those with more rapid disease progression, experienced stabilization or improvement in ALS function, as measured by the post-treatment vs. pre-treatment ALSFRS-R slope change.

Phase 3 ALS Clinical Trial

Following successful completion of the Phase 2 study, we conducted a Phase 3 trial (a multi-dose double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial protocol) that was designed to generate data to potentially support a Biologic License Application ('BLA') submission in the U.S. for NurOwn® in ALS. The clinical trial completed enrollment in October 2019 of an enriched patient population of rapid progressors based on superior outcomes observed in the Phase-2 pre-specified sub-group. The study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03280056).

We announced top-line data from our Phase 3 ALS trial on November 17, 2020. Results from the trial showed that NurOwn® was generally well tolerated in the population of rapidly progressing ALS patients. However, the trial did not reach statistically significant results. No new safety concerns were identified. On February 9, 2021, we announced feedback from our Type-C Meeting with FDA to review specific aspects of our planned manufacturing modifications to support the development of a semi-automated commercial manufacturing process for NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cell). On February 22, 2021, we announced high-level FDA feedback on NurOwn® ALS clinical development program. The FDA concluded from their initial review that the current level of clinical data does not provide the threshold of substantial evidence that FDA is seeking to support a BLA. In addition, the FDA advised that this recommendation does not preclude the Company from proceeding with a BLA submission. We are in active consultation with principal investigators, ALS experts, expert statisticians, regulatory advisors, and ALS advocacy groups to assess the benefit/risk of a BLA submission before making a final decision.

Key findings from the trial were as follows:

●	NurOwn® was generally well tolerated in this population of rapidly progressing ALS patients.

●	While showing a numerical improvement in the treated group compared to placebo across the primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, the trial did not reach statistically significant results.

●

The primary efficacy endpoint, a responder analysis evaluating the proportion of participants who experienced a 1.25 points per month improvement in the post-treatment ALSFRS-R slope compared to pre-treatment, was powered on assumed treatment response rates of 35% on NurOwn® versus 15% on Placebo. These estimates were based on available historical clinical trial data and the NurOwn® Phase 2 data. The primary endpoint was achieved in 34.7% of NurOwn® participants versus 27.7% for Placebo (p=0.453). Therefore, the trial met the expected 35% NurOwn® treatment group efficacy response assumption, however the high placebo response exceeded the placebo response expected based on contemporary ALS trials. When following the SAP to implement sensitivity to the primary endpoint, there is a slight change in the percentage of responders (32.6%), but no P value change.

●	The secondary efficacy endpoint measuring average change in ALSFRS-R total score from baseline to Week 28, was -5.52 with NurOwn® versus -5.88 on Placebo, a difference of 0.36 (p= 0.693).

●

In an important, pre-specified subgroup early in the disease course based on ALSFRS-R baseline score greater than 35, NurOwn® demonstrated a clinically meaningful treatment response across the primary and key secondary endpoints and remained consistent with our pre-trial, data-derived assumptions. In this subgroup, there were 34.6% responders who met the primary endpoint definition on NurOwn® and 15.6% on Placebo (p=0.288), and the average change from baseline to week 28 in ALSFRS-R total score was -1.77 on NurOwn® and -3.78 on Placebo (p=0.198), an improvement of 2.01 ALSFRS-R points favoring NurOwn®.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker analyses confirmed that treatment with NurOwn® resulted in a statistically significant increase of neurotrophic factors (VEGF and HGF) and reduction in neurodegenerative (neurofilament) and neuroinflammatory biomarkers (MCP-1) that was not observed in the placebo treatment group.

●

Pre-specified statistical modeling designed to predict clinical response with high sensitivity and specificity based on ALS biomarkers and ALS Function confirmed that NurOwn® treatment outcomes could be predicted by baseline ALS function as well as key CSF neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory biomarkers.

NurOwn® Clinical Manufacturing

We have developed a validated cryopreservation process for the long-term storage of MSC, that allows multiple doses of NurOwn® to be created from a single bone marrow harvest procedure in the multi-dose clinical trials and to avoid the need for patients to undergo repeated bone marrow aspiration. A validation study was conducted in 2017 comparing NurOwn® derived from fresh MSC to those derived from cryopreserved MSC. Company scientists were successful in showing that the MSC can be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen for prolonged periods of time, while maintaining their characteristics. Cryopreserved MSC are capable of differentiating into NurOwn®, similar to the NurOwn® derived from fresh MSC from the same patient/donor, prior to cryopreservation and maintain their key functional properties including immunomodulation and neurotrophic factor secretion.

We contracted with City of Hope's Center for Biomedicine and Genetics to manufacture clinical supplies of NurOwn® adult stem cells for our Phase 3 clinical study. City of Hope supported the manufacturing of NurOwn® and placebo for the participants treated in the Phase 3 study. The Connell and O'Reilly Cell Manipulation Core Facility at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) in Boston was also contracted to manufacture NurOwn® and placebo for our Phase 3 ALS clinical study participants and commenced manufacturing in October 2018. DFCI core manufacturing facility also supplied NurOwn® for our Phase 2 PMS study.

On October 22, 2020, we announced a partnership with Catalent, the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies, to manufacture NurOwn®, which has been evaluated for the treatment of ALS in our Phase 3 clinical trial. If we decide to file a BLA and granted approval, Catalent will be our partner for manufacturing commercial quantities of NurOwn® to treat patients with ALS. Our tech transfer to Catalent has already been initiated and will allow for continuous supply of NurOwn® for future clinical trials. On October 26, 2020, we announced the selection of RR&D as our partner to expedite site selection and design services for a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF) in the U.S. Our partnership with RR&D to help us establish in-house manufacturing capabilities will accelerate once a regulatory pathway is clear. These partnerships will ensure an ongoing cGMP clinical supply of NurOwn® and enable us to provide rapid treatment access to patients if we obtain regulatory approval.

Meetings with the FDA and FDA Senior Management

In July 2019, the BrainStorm management team was invited to participate in a special in-person, high-level meeting with the senior management of the FDA Drug and Biologics Centers and, 'I AM ALS', a grassroots ALS advocacy group advocating for an ALS cure. FDA's Dr. Peter Marks, Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and Dr. Janet Woodcock Director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) were in attendance with senior FDA staff. BrainStorm's Phase 3 ALS principal Investigators Dr. Robert Brown (Massachusetts Memorial Hospital, Worcester, Massachusetts) and Dr. Merit Cudkowicz (Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston) joined by teleconference. The meeting's purpose was to discuss BrainStorm's ongoing Phase 3 ALS clinical trial as well as efforts to speed treatment access to the ALS patient community. The meeting enabled an open and effective dialogue between the FDA and BrainStorm, setting the stage for future meetings to explore practical options to quickly bring our investigational treatment to those living with ALS.

On February 11, 2020, we announced that we held a high-level meeting with the FDA to discuss potential NurOwn® regulatory pathways for approval in ALS. In the planned meeting with senior CBER leadership and several leading U.S. ALS experts, the FDA confirmed that the Phase 3 ALS trial was collecting relevant data critical to the assessment of NurOwn® efficacy. The FDA indicated that they would look at the 'totality of the evidence' in the expected Phase 3 clinical trial data.

On February 9, 2021, we announced feedback on a Type-C Meeting with FDA on future NurOwn® manufacturing plans and to review specific aspects of our planned manufacturing modifications to support the development of a semi-automated commercial manufacturing process for NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cell). The meeting included a detailed review of the requirements for comparability testing to support future modifications along with geographic considerations in the sourcing of starting materials and future manufacturing production. We plan to incorporate feedback from the FDA meeting and our experience from Phase 3 manufacturing to finalize a robust comparability plan that could enable semiautomatic manufacturing to be introduced at the appropriate time in the future. We also plan to finalize the remaining steps necessary to proceed with running NurOwn® conformance batches. The FDA also provided comments on several key aspects of the current manufacturing process, which we will use as we continue our work to enable operations at our commercial manufacturing partner, Catalent.

On February 22, 2021, we announced high-level FDA feedback on NurOwn® ALS Clinical Development Program. The FDA concluded from their initial review that the current level of clinical data does not provide the threshold of substantial evidence that FDA is seeking to support a BLA. In addition, the FDA advised that this recommendation does not preclude the Company from proceeding with a BLA submission. We are in active consultation with principal investigators, ALS experts, expert statisticians, regulatory advisors, and ALS advocacy groups to assess the benefit/risk of a BLA submission before making a final decision.

ALS Expanded Access Program

On December 14, 2020, we announced the NurOwn® Expanded Access Program (EAP) through which NurOwn® will be made available for ALS patients who completed all Phase 3 scheduled treatments and follow-up assessments and meet specific eligibility criteria.

The protocol for the EAP was developed in partnership with the FDA to provide access to NurOwn® for Phase 3 clinical trial participants who meet specific eligibility criteria. Initially, patients less severely affected by ALS, as measured by ALSFRS-R, will be the first to receive treatment. This approach is informed by recently announced topline data from the Company's Phase 3 clinical trial. According to the FDA, EAPs, alternatively known as 'compassionate use' programs, provide a pathway for patients to receive an investigational medicine for a serious disease or condition outside of a clinical trial.

Through the EAP, the six clinical centers participating in the Phase 3 NurOwn® trial will each have the opportunity to treat ALS patients who completed the trial. These six centers are: University of California, Irvine; Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; California Pacific Medical Center; Massachusetts General Hospital; University of Massachusetts Medical School; and Mayo Clinic. EAP treatment of ALS patients who have completed the Phase 3 clinical trial will not interfere with data or regulatory timelines. The Dana Farber Cancer Institute will manufacture the investigational therapy, assisted by on-site BrainStorm personnel.

Patient Access Programs (ALS)

The Company working collaboratively with the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Hospital), was approved on March 7, 2019 to treat up to 13 ALS patients with NurOwn®, under the Israel Hospital Exemption regulatory pathway for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP), which was adopted by the Israeli MoH from the EMA regulation. This pathway enables the Company to make NurOwn® accessible to ALS patients in Israel, for a fee. This approval expired on March 7, 2020. Ichilov Hospital and the Company has since then received approval from the MoH for the extension of the program. Based on the approval, the Company has enrolled 12 out of the first 13 patients under the HE regulatory pathway as of March 31, 2021 and intends to enroll the maximum number of patients that have been approved. The Company is currently collecting clinical data for patients who have already received NurOwn® at the Ichilov Hospital. Thus far, the Company has received $3.4 million in gross proceeds in connection with the treatment of the aforementioned patients.

NurOwn® in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PMS)

On December 15, 2018, the FDA approved the Company's IND to conduct a Phase 2 open label trial of repeated intrathecal administration of NurOwn® in PMS (www.clinicaltrials.gov Identifier NCT03799718). The study entitled 'A Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeated administration of NurOwn® (Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Secreting Neurotrophic Factors; MSC-NTF cells) in participants with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PMS)' was designed to recruit 20 PMS participants at 5 leading US MS centers.

On December 18, 2019, the clinical trial independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for the U.S. Phase 2 PMS study completed the first, pre-specified interim analysis, of safety outcomes for the first 9 participants enrolled in the study. After careful review of all available clinical trial data, the DSMB unanimously concluded 'the study should continue as planned without any protocol modification'.

Phase 2 PMS Clinical Trial

On March 24, 2021, the Company announced positive topline data in the Phase 2 study evaluating three repeated administrations of NurOwn®, each given 2 months apart, as a treatment for PMS. The 28-week open-label Phase 2 clinical trial enrolled 20 primary and secondary progressive MS patients based on the 2017 revised McDonald Criteria, ages 18-65, with baseline Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores between 3-6.5, without evidence of relapse within 6 months of enrollment, able to walk 25 feet in 60 seconds or less and were permitted to be on a stable dose of disease modifying therapy. Of the 20 patients enrolled, 18 were treated and 16 (80%) completed the study. Two patients discontinued related to procedure-related AEs. There were no study deaths or AEs related to multiple sclerosis worsening. The mean age of study patients was 47, 56% were female, and mean baseline EDSS score was 5.4. The clinical trial compared clinical efficacy outcomes with a 48- patient matched clinical cohort from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigations in MS at the Brigham & Woman's Hospital (CLIMB Study). MS Function and Cognition measures in the top-line results included the timed 25-foot walk (T25FW); 9-hole peg test (9-HPT); Low Contrast Letter Acuity (LCLA); Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT); and the 12 item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12).

Key findings from the trial were as follows:

●	Prespecified 25% improvements in the timed T25FW and 9-HPT from baseline to 28 weeks were observed in 14% and 13% of NurOwn® treated patients, respectively, and was observed in 0% of the pre-specified matched historical controls in the CLIMB registry.

●	38% of NurOwn® treated patients showed at least a 10-point improvement in the MSWS-12 from baseline to week 28, a patient reported outcome that evaluates walking function.

●	47% of NurOwn® treated patients showed at least an 8-letter improvement across 28 weeks in the LCLA, a visual function test.

●	67% of NurOwn® treated patients showed at least a 3-point improvement in the SDMT, a measure of cognitive processing.

●	NurOwn treated patients showed a mean improvement from baseline of 10% in T25FW and a 4.8% improvement from baseline on the 9-HPT dominant hand, compared to 1.8% and 1.4% worsening respectively in matched historical controls from the CLIMB registry.

●	NurOwn treated patients showed a 6% improvement from baseline in MSWS-12.

All results reported are based on observed data. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers were obtained at 3 consecutive time points, just prior to each intrathecal administration of NurOwn®. We observed increases in neuroprotective molecules (VEGF, HGF) and decreases in neuroinflammatory biomarkers (MCP-1, and Osteopontin).

Additional secondary efficacy data, and detailed CSF and blood biomarker analyses are currently underway. We plan to present a detailed summary of the study outcomes at an upcoming scientific meeting, publish our findings in a peer reviewed journal and consider how best to advance NurOwn in PMS.

On November 14, 2019, we received a $495,330 grant from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, through its Fast Forward program, to advance BrainStorm's Phase 2 open-label, multicenter clinical trial of repeated intrathecal administration of NurOwn® in participants with progressive Multiple Sclerosis. As of March 31, 2021, we received $321,965 on account of the grant.

NurOwn® in Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

We are designing a multi-national Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate biomarkers and safety of NurOwn® treatment in patients with prodromal to mild AD. The 52-week study is expected to enroll up to 40 participants with prodromal to mild AD that will receive three intrathecal NurOwn® doses 8 weeks apart. Inclusion criteria include well-defined clinical criteria for prodromal to mild AD as well as CSF biomarker defined criteria for AD.

Table of Contents

The Phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate biomarkers and safety of NurOwn®, including effects on inflammatory, Alzheimer's-specific, neurodegenerative, and synaptic biomarkers, as well as a range of key clinical measures of cognition and function. It is currently expected to be conducted at the VU University Medical Center (Amsterdam), Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris), and other clinical trial sites in the Netherlands and France.

The lead investigators for the trial are two world renowned clinical experts in AD: Prof. Philip Scheltens, M.D., Ph.D., and Prof. Bruno Dubois, M.D., Ph.D. Prof. Scheltens, the principal investigator (PI) of the study, is Professor of Cognitive Neurology and Director of the Alzheimer Centre at Amsterdam University Medical Center. He has extensive experience as a principal investigator in many international clinical trials in this field. Prof. Dubois, the French national coordinator of the study, is Professor of Neurology at the Neurological Institute of the Salpétrière University Hospital. He is the past President of the Scientific Committee of France-Alzheimer, President of IFRAD (International Fund Raising for Alzheimer's Disease) as well as a member of the European Alzheimer Disease Consortium (EADC).

While many Alzheimer's therapies have focused on a single target such as tau or beta-amyloid, we believe NurOwn® has the capability to simultaneously target multiple relevant biological pathways and bring a comprehensive approach to this multifactorial disease. Importantly, NurOwn®'s mechanism of action may allow the therapy to enable synergistic combinations with anti-tau or anti-beta-amyloid treatments, further underscoring its potential to address critical unmet needs in AD. In such a complex disease, addressing inflammation and neuroprotection is an innovative approach and a first in the world for this technology.

On July 8, 2020, the Company hosted a KOL webinar to discuss its NurOwn® Phase 2 AD Program. The webinar featured presentations from Prof. Scheltens and Prof. Dubois, the lead investigators in the trial. For more information on the KOL webinar and presentation, visit BrainStorm's website at www.brainstorm-cell.com.

Research and Development

We are actively engaged in research and development to evaluate the potential for clinical development of NurOwn® in neurodegenerative disorders, neurodegenerative eye disease and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Research is currently ongoing to develop additional specialized derivative cell products such as MSC-NTF derived Exosomes. Exosomes are extracellular nano-vesicles (secreted by the cells) that carry various molecular components of their cell of origin, including nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. Exosomes can transfer molecules from one cell to another, thereby mediating cell-to-cell communication, ultimately regulating many cell processes, which are suitable for clinical applications in multiple neurodegenerative diseases. NurOwn® derived exosomes may possess unique features for the enhanced delivery of therapeutics to the brain, due to their ability to cross the blood brain barrier and to penetrate the brain and spinal cord.

The exosomes research efforts are primarily focused on manufacturing of MSC-NTF exosomes from bone marrow derived MSC:

1.	Developing and optimizing large scale cell culture processes using bioreactors, to generate exosomes.

2.	Developing advanced scalable purification GMP methods that can be applied to commercial use.

3.	Quantification, characterization of phenotype and exosome cargo.

4.	Assessment of MSC-NTF exosomes potency and stability.

5.	Establishment of a method for exosomes modification.

6.	Preclinical experiments in neurodegenerative models.

NurOwn® derived exosomes have the potential to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to their ability to penetrate deep tissues and decrease the inflammatory response. ARDS is a type of respiratory failure associated with widespread inflammation and lung damage mediated by dysregulated cytokine production and is one of the severe features of COVID-19.

MSC exosomes may be delivered intravenously or directly into the lungs via intratracheal administration have several practical advantages over cellular therapy including ease of storage, stability, formulation and low immunogenicity.

In a preclinical study, we evaluated MSCs and NurOwn® derived exosomes in an LPS ARDS-mouse model, relevant to severe acute lung injury. The results from the study showed that intratracheal administration of NurOwn® derived exosomes resulted in a statistically significant improvement in multiple lung parameters. These included the clinically relevant factors: functional lung recovery, reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines and most importantly, attenuation of lung damage. Moreover, MSC-NTF cell derived exosomes exhibited a superior effect when compared to treatment with exosomes derived from naïve MSCs from the same donor. On January 20, 2021 we announced the peer-reviewed publication of this preclinical study in the journal Stem Cell and Research Therapy. The study, entitled 'MSC-NTF (NurOwn®) exosomes: a novel therapeutic modality in the mouse LPS-induced ARDS model,' evaluated the use of NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cell) derived exosomes in a mouse model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

For the completed multidose clinical studies in ALS and PMS, the Company has improved the efficiency of NurOwn® production and improved its stability, allowing manufacturing to take place at centralized clean room facilities from which NurOwn® is distributed to the clinical trial sites, where the cells are then administered to patients. The Company is also engaged in several research initiatives to further improve and scale-up manufacturing capacity and extend the shelf life of NurOwn®.

Results of Operations

For the period from inception (September 22, 2000) through March 31, 2021, the Company has not earned any revenue from operations. The Company does not expect to earn revenue from operations in the near-term. The Company has incurred operating costs and other expenses of approximately $6,929,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $8,308,000 during the three months through March 31, 2020.

Research and Development Expenses:

Research and development expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $4,341,000 and $5,948,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,607,000. This decrease is due to (i) a decrease of $2,588,000 in costs related to the Phase 3 and Phase 2 Clinical Trials from $5,651,000 in three months ended March 31, 2020 to $3,063,000 for the three months period ended March 31, 2021 and (ii) a decrease of $281,000 in connection with stock-based compensation expenses, materials, travel, rent and other activities. This decrease was partially offset by (i) an increase of $163,000 for costs related to payroll; (ii) an increase of $462,000 for costs related to patents, preclinical R&D activities and consultants and (iii) a decrease of $637,000 in proceeds received in connection with the treatment of patients under the hospital exemption regulatory pathway and decrease in participation of the Israel Innovation Authority ('IIA').

Excluding participation from IIA and other grants and proceeds received under the hospital exemption regulatory pathway, research and development expenses decreased by $2,328,000 from $7,135,000 in the first quarter of 2020 to $4,807,000 in the first quarter of 2021.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2,588,000 and $2,360,000, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $228,000 is primarily due to an increase of $74,000 in payroll and stock-based compensation, and an increase of $320,000 in consultants, rent and other costs. This increase was partially offset by the decrease of $166,000 in PR and travel costs.

Other Income and Expenses:

Financial income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $267,000 as compared to financial income of $194,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result of the adoption of the Accounting Standard Update ASU 2016-02 'Leases' and due to conversion exchange rates.

Net Loss:

Net loss for the three months ended on March 31, 2021 was $6,662,000, as compared to a net loss of $8,114,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.19 and $0.32, respectively.

The weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 35,791,309, compared to 28,423,837 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through public and private sales of its Common Stock and warrants, the exercise of warrants, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, sales via the ATM program and through various grants.

Cash, Cash equivalents (including short-term bank deposits) amounted to approximately $40,047,000 as of March 31, 2021.

Net cash used in operating activities was $8,968,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cash used for operating activities was primarily attributed to reduction in outstanding trades payables, cost of payroll, materials for clinical trials, rent, legal expenses and PR expenses. Net cash used in investing activities was $37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly representing net increase in short-term interest-bearing bank deposits. Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,109,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and is attributable to the exercise of options and sales of shares under our ATM Program.

Table of Contents

On June 8, 2018, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225517) (the 'Shelf Registration Statement'), which was declared effective by the SEC on June 29, 2018, relating to Common Stock, warrants and units that we may sell from time to time in one or more offerings, up to a total dollar amount of $100,000,000. Other than the supplements filed on June 11, 2019, March 6, 2020 and on September 25, 2020 in connection with the ATM offerings discussed below, and the prospectus supplement filed on March 6, 2020 in connection with the registered direct offering discussed below, we have not filed any supplemental prospectus defining particular terms of securities to be offered under the shelf registration statement.

At-the-market (ATM) Offerings:

On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into a new distribution agreement with Raymond James (the 'Agent'), pursuant to which the Company was able to sell from time to time, through the Agent, shares of Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the 'March 6, 2020 ATM'). Sales under the March 6, 2020 ATM were made by any method permitted by law that is deemed to be an 'at the market' offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for the Shares, through a market maker or as otherwise agreed by the Company and Raymond James. Under the March 6, 2020 ATM, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,446,641 shares of Common Stock at an average price of $9.45 per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately $23.11 million.

Registered Direct Offering:

Company Cash Needs

We have recently completed our Phase 3 ALS and Phase 2 PMS trials in the US. Our material cash needs for the next 12 months, assuming we do not expand our clinical trials beyond our Phase 2 AD trials in Europe will include (i) costs of the clinical trials Europe, (ii) employee salaries, (iii) payments for rent and operation of the GMP facilities and manufacturing of NurOwn®, and (iv) fees to our consultants and legal advisors, patents, and fees for facilities to be used in our research and development.

We believe our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating cash requirements for at least twelve months following the date of this filing. We currently have sufficient cash to execute on our Phase 2 AD clinical trials and support our operating activities. We expect that we will continue to generate losses from the clinical development and regulatory activities, which will result in a negative cash flow from operating activity. If we decide to file a BLA for our ALS program and granted a BLA approval, additional capital raise will be needed to commercialize NurOwn® for ALS, and to conduct additional trials that may be needed for other indications. The actual amount of cash that the Company will need to operate is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to, the timing, design and conduct of clinical trials for our product candidates along with cost to commercialize these product candidates.

We anticipate that we will need to raise substantial additional financing in the future to fund our operations. In order to meet these additional cash requirements, we may incur debt, license certain intellectual property, and seek to sell additional equity or convertible securities that may result in dilution to our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, these securities could have rights or preferences senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

●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;

●any product liability or other lawsuits related to our product candidates;

●the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;

●the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, marketing, sales, and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

●the revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

●the general and administrative expenses related to being a public company;

●the effect of competition and market developments; and

●future pre-clinical and clinical trial results.

The full extent to which the COVID 19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID 19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. Our management team is actively monitoring this situation and the possible effects on our financial condition and liquidity.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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 under different assumptions or conditions.

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. 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, 2020.

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, revenue 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 our disclosure controls and procedures were 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 SEC'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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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, the adverse outcome of which, in management's opinion, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Other than the additional risk factor below, there have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 'Risk Factors' section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, 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, 2020 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations:

The coronavirus outbreak has caused disruptions to our business, including our preclinical and clinical development activities.

The pandemic caused by the novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV 2 (COVID-19) disease has currently impacted and may continue to adversely impact our business, including our preclinical studies and clinical trials. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID- 19 has spread worldwide, significantly impacting the United States, Europe and Israel, where the Company conducts its operations, as well as its clinical trials for NurOwn®. In response to the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure safety of employees and continuity of business operations, we closed our offices, with our administrative employees continuing their work remotely and limited the number of staff in any given research and development laboratory. Our research and development laboratory in Israel and manufacturing sites in U.S. and in Israel remain open. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, we may in the future experience disruptions that could severely impact our business, including clinical trial activities; participant enrollment; or any currently unforeseen delays in completion of study timelines.

Two vaccines for COVID-19 were granted Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA in late 2020 and one in early 2021, and more are likely to be authorized in the coming months. The resultant demand for vaccines and potential for manufacturing facilities and materials to be commandeered under the Defense Production Act of 1950, or equivalent foreign legislation, may make it more difficult to obtain materials or manufacturing slots for the products needed for our clinical trials, which could lead to delays in these trials.

In addition, the trading prices for our Common Stock and other biotechnology companies have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. As a result, we may face difficulties raising capital through sales of our Common Stock or such sales may be on unfavorable terms.

Our management team is actively monitoring this situation and the possible effects on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.

Item 5. Other Information.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we made no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors, as described in our most recent proxy statement.
