| D. | On July 18, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “MVLS Deficiency Notice”) from the listing qualifications department staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying the Company that from June 2, 2024 to July 17, 2024, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $35 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”). Under Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company had 180 calendar days from this notice, until January 14, 2025 to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s MVLS. |
On January 15, 2025, the Staff notified us in writing that we failed to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by January 14, 2025. As such, we had until January 22, 2025 to request an appeal of Nasdaq’s determination to delist, or our common stock would be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on January 24, 2025. We promptly submitted our request to appeal Nasdaq’s determination on January 21, 2025, and on that same day, we received formal written notice from the Staff that the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) would consider our appeal at an oral hearing on February 25, 2025, and that to the extent permitted by Nasdaq Listing Rules, the delisting action referenced in the Staff’s determination letter was stayed, pending a final written decision by the Panel. Subsequently, we presented our compliance plan (the “Plan”) to the Panel at the oral hearing on February 25, 2025. Our Plan includes, among other items, satisfying a $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550 in lieu of the MVLS Requirement and conducting certain capital raising activities to attain such $2.5 million of stockholders’ equity. On March 25, 2025, we received a letter setting forth the determination of the Panel granting the Company’s request for an extension (the “Extension”) to regain compliance with certain continued Nasdaq listing requirements through the Company’s requested extension date of June 30, 2025 (the “Extension Date”). NOTE 1 – GENERAL (Cont.): On July 17, 2025, the Company announced that it has received a delisting notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, informing the company that its common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Trading of BrainStorm’s common stock on Nasdaq was suspended at the open of trading on July 18, 2025. The delisting is a result of the company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), pertaining to its minimum shareholder equity requirement. The Company’s shares started trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the same symbol, BCLI, beginning at the open of trading on July 18, 2025. | E. | Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all 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. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $232,000. The extent of the Company’s future operating losses and the timing of becoming profitable are uncertain. As of June 30, 2025 the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounted to $1,025. |
| F. | 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 at-the-market (“ATM”) program and other funding transactions. While the Company was able to raise financing 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 several 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. |
Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan includes raising funds from outside potential investors, however, as mentioned above, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the Company or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives. The condensed interim 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.
