NOTE 1 - GENERAL (Cont.):

 

J.Effective April 3, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (“Dana-Farber”) to provide cGMP-compliant clean room facilities for production of the Company’s NurOwn™ stem cell candidate during its Phase II ALS trial in the United States. The Company’s Phase II trial, is conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital (“MGH”), the University of Massachusetts (“UMass”) Hospital and the Mayo Clinic. The Connell and O'Reilly Cell Manipulation Core Facility at Dana-Farber will produce NurOwn for the MGH and UMass Hospital clinical sites.

 

K.On September 27, 2013, the Company announced that it recently completed treatment of the 12 patients in its ALS Phase IIa dose-escalating clinical trial with the Company’s NurOwn™ technology. The Company was informed that one patient in the study expired due to a medical condition unrelated to the Clinical Trial.

 

The Clinical Trial is being performed at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel, under the direction of Prof. Dimitrios Karussis, M.D., Ph.D., head of Hadassah's Multiple Sclerosis Center and a member of the International Steering Committees for Bone Marrow and Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The study is designed to establish the safety and preliminary efficacy of NurOwn at increasing dosages.

 

L.On December 4, 2013, a Notice of Intention to Grant from the European Patent Office (EPO) was issued for the Company's patent application entitled "Isolated Cells and Populations Comprising Same for the Treatment of CNS Diseases" (European serial number EP06766101.7) . This patent relates to the production method for the company's proprietary stem cells induced to secrete large quantities of neurotrophic factors for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

 

M.On February 11, 2014, a Notice of Allowance was issued from the U.S. Patent Office for the same patent application as above, U.S. serial number 11/727,583.

O.On March 24, 2014, BCT signed a definitive agreement with the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, MA to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of NurOwn™ in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), pending FDA approval.

 

P.On April 28, 2014, the Company announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved commencement of its Phase II clinical trial with NurOwn™ in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The trial was launched at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, MA and the University of Massachusetts Memorial (UMass) Hospital in Worcester, MA after Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals.  Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Connell O'Reilly Cell Manipulation Core Facility manufactures the NurOwn™ cells for these two clinical sites. The trial is also conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

 

Q.On June 2, 2014, the Company announced that interim results from the Company's Phase IIa ALS trial conducted at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel were presented on June 1, 2014 at the Joint Congress of European Neurology by Principal Investigator Professor Dimitrios Karussis.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (Cont.):

 

R.On June 6, 2014, the Company announced that its Phase II ALS clinical trial has commenced with the enrollment of the first patient at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, Massachusetts. Company’s Phase II trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transplantation of Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Secreting Neurotrophic Factors ("MSC-NTF" or NurOwn™) in 48 ALS patients. The trial is also being conducted at the University of Massachusetts Memorial (UMass) Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

 

S.On June 10, 2014, the Company announced that it has initiated a study in a mouse model of autism at the Felsenstein Medical Research Center, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, under the direction of Professor Daniel Offen. The study explores the effects of the company's "MSC-NTF" cells on mouse behavior. The study, which is being conducted using the BTBR mouse model for autism, will investigate repetitive behavior, increased cognitive flexibility and improved sociability in mice after administration of a single intracerebroventricular injection of the cells.

 

T.On June 24, 2014, the Company signed a definitive agreement with the University of Massachusetts Memorial (UMass) Hospital in Worcester, MA to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of NurOwn™ in ALS.

 

U.On July 1, 2014, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Professional Research Consulting Clinical Inc., CA ("PRC"), to monitor the Phase II clinical trial of NurOwn™ in ALS.

 

V.A reverse stock split of the Company’s shares by a ratio 1-for-15 was effected on September 15, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation approved by the stockholder of the Company on August 14, 2014.

 

W.The Company’s shares of Common Stock were approved for uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market, and commenced trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market when trading began on September 30, 2014. The Company’s Common Stock started trading under the ticker symbol "BCLI" when trading on Nasdaq commences and ceased to be temporarily be quoted as "BCLID" effective September 30, 2014.

 

GOING CONCERN:

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, resulted in a net loss of $6,516. These conditions, together with the fact that the Company has no revenues from operations 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 June 2014, the Company raised $10,500, gross, in a private offering (See Note 6B 1(g)). As of September 30, 2014 the Company believes that the Company has resources to carry out its operation in the upcoming year. However, there can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that the Company will not incur additional unforeseen costs or expenses.

 

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

The Company accounts for shares and warrant grants issued to non-employees using the guidance of ASC 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees" (EITTF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services"), whereby the fair value of such option and warrant grants is determined using a Black-Scholes options pricing

model at the earlier of the date at which the non-employee's performance is completed or a performance commitment is reached.

 

(a)Warrants to investors and service providers and investors:

 

The fair value for the warrants to service providers was estimated on the measurement date determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2010; weighted average volatility of 140%, risk free interest rates of 2.39%-3.14%, dividend yields of 0% and a weighted average life of the options of 5-5.5 and 1-9 years.

Company Overview

 

Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company developing novel adult stem cell therapies for debilitating neurodegenerative disorders such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), Multiple Sclerosis (“MS”), and Parkinson’s disease (“PD”). These diseases have limited treatment options and as such represent unmet medical needs. We believe that NurOwn, our proprietary process for the propagation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) and their differentiation into Neurotrophic factor-(“NTF”) secreting cells (“MSC-NTF”), and their transplantation at, or near, the site of damage, offers the hope of more effectively treating neurodegenerative diseases. Our core technology was developed in collaboration with 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 Prof. Daniel Offen of the Felsenstein Medical Research Center of Tel Aviv University. Our wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Ltd. (the “Israeli Subsidiary”), holds rights to commercialize the technology, through a licensing agreement with Ramot at Tel Aviv University Ltd. (“Ramot”), the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University, Israel. We currently employ 14 employees in Israel and one in the Unites States.

 

Our Proprietary Technology 

 

Our NurOwn technology is based on a novel differentiation protocol which induces differentiation of the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-supporting cells, MSC-NTF cells, capable of releasing several neurotrophic factors, including Glial-derived neurotrophic factor (“GDNF”) and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (“BDNF”), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) which are critical for the growth, survival and differentiation of developing neurons. GDNF is one of the most potent survival factors known for peripheral neurons. VEGF and HGF have been reported to have important neuro-protective effects in ALS.

 

Our approach to treatment of neurodegenerative diseases with autologous adult stem cells includes a multi-step process beginning with harvesting of undifferentiated stem cells from the patient's own bone marrow, and concluding with transplantation of differentiated, neurotrophic factor-secreting mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-NTF) into the same patient – intrathecally and/or intramuscularly. Intrathecal (injection into the cerebrospinal fluid) transplantation consists of injection with a standard lumbar puncture; there is no need for a laminectomy – an invasive, orthopedic spine operation to remove a portion of the vertebral bone, as required by other technologies. Intramuscular (injection directly into muscle) transplantation is performed via a standard injection procedure as well.

 

23
 

  

Our proprietary, production process for induction of differentiation of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells into differentiated cells that produce NTF (MSC-NTF) for clinical use is conducted in full compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”).

 

Our proprietary technology is licensed to and developed by our Israeli Subsidiary.

 

  The NurOwn Transplantation Process
     
  § Bone marrow aspiration from patient;
  § Isolation and expansion of the mesenchymal stem cells;
  § Differentiation of the expanded stem cells into neurotrophic-factor secreting (MSC-NTF) cells; and
  § Autologous transplantation into the patient’s spinal cord or muscle tissue.
     
  Differentiation before Transplantation

 

The ability to induce differentiation of autologous adult mesenchymal stem cells into MSC-NTF cells before transplantation is unique to NurOwn, making it the first-of-its-kind for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

 

The specialized cells secrete neurotrophic factors for:

 

  § Protection of existing motor neurons;
     
  § Promotion of motor neuron growth; and
     
  § Re-establishment of nerve-muscle interaction.

 

Autologous (“Self-transplantation”)

 

The NurOwn approach is autologous, or self-transplanted, using the patient’s own stem cells. In autologous transplantation there is 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 controversy associated with the use of embryonic stem cells in some countries.

 

The ALS Program

 

NurOwn is in clinical development for the treatment of ALS. It has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA for this indication, and has been granted Orphan Status in both the United States and in Europe. We have completed two clinical trials of NurOwn in patients with ALS at Hadassah Medical Center (“Hadassah”) in collaboration with Professor Dimitrios Karussis, who served as the principal investigator on these studies. We also have an agreement with Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development Ltd., a subsidiary of the Hadassah Medical Organization (“Hadassah”), pursuant to which Hadassah provides the Israeli Subsidiary with lab services relating to studies of NurOwn. The first study, a phase 1/2 safety and efficacy study of NurOwn in ALS patients, was initiated in June 2011 after receiving approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health (“MoH”). In March 2013, Professor Karussis presented some of the data from this trial at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting. The trial results demonstrated the safety of NurOwn as well as signs of efficacy on both the ALS Functional Rating Score (“ALSFRS-R”) and Forced Vital Capacity (“FVC”) Further analyses of this study were presented by Professor Karussis in December 2013 at the 24th International Symposium on ALS/MND.

 

24
 

  

In January 2013, the Israeli MoH approved the second study, phase 2a combined (intramuscular and intrathecal) treatment, dose-escalating trial, which we also conducted at Hadassah in collaboration with Prof. Karussis. The last follow-up visits in this study occurred in September 2014 and final results are expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2014. In June 2014, Professor Karussis presented interim data from this study at the Joint Congress of European Neurology in Istanbul, Turkey.

 

In December 2013 the Company submitted an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to the FDA for NurOwn in ALS, and on April 28, 2014 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved commencement of the Company’s randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled multi-center phase 2 clinical trial of NurOwn in ALS patients. On June 6, 2014, the Company announced that this clinical trial has commenced with the enrollment of the first patient at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, Massachusetts. The trial is also being conducted at the University of Massachusetts Memorial (UMass) Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. For this study, NurOwn production occurs at the Connell and O’Reilly Cell Manipulation Core Facility at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, and at a clean room facility at the Mayo Clinic. This study is designed to enroll 48 patients randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive NurOwn or placebo. Results from this trial are not expected until 2016.

 

Future Development.

 

Future development of NurOwn in ALS will require additional clinical trials, including the administration of repeated doses to ALS patients enrolled in those trials.  The design and timing of subsequent clinical trials in ALS is currently under review by the Company.  In addition, the Company is reviewing the potential clinical development of NurOwn in other neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, and continues to conduct preclinical research in additional areas, including autism.

 

In addition, the Company is engaged in a number of research initiatives to improve the scale and efficiency of NurOwn production and to improve the stability of NurOwn, which is currently produced in clean room facilities close to the clinical trial sites, where the cells are administered to patients. We are also engaged in collaboration with Octane Biotech Inc., a Canadian firm that focuses on culture systems for cell and tissue therapy, to develop a NurOwn bioreactor. On June 27, 2014 the Company announced that this collaboration has successfully developed a sophisticated Alpha prototype of the NurOwn™ Bioreactor, utilizing a customized disposable cartridge that is dedicated to the intricacies of the Company's NurOwn™ process.  Based on this first working prototype, the Company and Octane are advancing to the next stage of development with a goal of eventually qualifying a bioreactor for full clinical use.

  

Intellectual Property

 

On December 4, 2013, a Notice of Intention to Grant from the European Patent Office (EPO) was issued for the Company's patent application entitled "Isolated Cells and Populations Comprising Same for the Treatment of CNS Diseases" (European serial number EP06766101.7) . This patent relates to the production method for the company's proprietary stem cells induced to secrete large quantities of neurotrophic factors for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. On February 11, 2014, a Notice of Allowance was issued from the U.S. Patent Office for the same patent application as above, U.S. serial number 11/727,583.

 

In March 2014, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted the Company patent US 8,663,987 (“Mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of CNS diseases”) for its autologous stem cell technology.  In April 2014, the USPTO granted the Company patent US 8,647,874 (“Isolated cells and populations comprising same for the treatment of CNS diseases”) for its autologous stem cell technology.  In July 2014 the Company received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for Patent Application 12/994,761 (“Mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of CNS diseases”).  On September 3, 2014, the Company announced that the European Patent Office (EPO) granted the company patent number EP1893747 (“Isolated Cells and Populations Comprising Same for the Treatment of CNS Diseases”).  These patents cover the production and use of the Company's proprietary stem cells induced to secrete significantly elevated levels of neurotrophic factors for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.  The Company intends to continue pursuing patent protection for its technologies across multiple jurisdictions.

Stock Split

 

On September 15, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00005 per share (“Common Stock”), effective as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, September 15, 2014 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split had been approved by the Board of Directors on June 24, 2014 and by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on August 14, 2014. On September 2, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each fifteen shares of Common Stock of the Company were combined and were reclassified into one share of Common Stock of the Company, and the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company was proportionally reduced, in both cases without any change to the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or in the par value of such shares. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who were entitled to fractional shares received cash in lieu of receiving fractional shares at a rate of $4.2405 per share (the average of the closing trading prices of the Common Stock (as adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split) during regular trading hours for the five trading days immediately preceding the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split). The number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject to outstanding options and warrants issued by the Company were reduced proportionately and the respective exercise prices were increased proportionately to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans were also reduced proportionately.

 

Nasdaq listing

 

The Company’s shares of Common Stock were approved for uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market, and commenced trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market when trading began on September 30, 2014. The Company’s Common Stock started trading under the ticker symbol "BCLI" when trading on Nasdaq commences and ceased to be temporarily be quoted as "BCLID" effective September 30, 2014.

Results of Operations

 

For the period from inception (September 22, 2000) until September 30, 2014, the Company has not earned any revenues from operations. The Company does not expect to earn revenues from operations until 2018. The Company has incurred operating costs and other expenses of approximately $2,428,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Research and Development, net:

 

Research and development expenses, net for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $1,572,000 and $804,000, respectively. In addition, the Company’s grant from The Office of the Chief Scientist increased by $90,000 to $161,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $71,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

The increase in research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to an increase of $1,123,000, associated with the clinical trials in the US, to $1,218,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $157,000 for the clinical trials in Israel, a decrease of $86,000 in payroll costs, a decrease of $22,000 in patents, rent and consulting fees, and an increase of $90,000 in CSO participation.

 

26
 

  

General and Administrative:

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $856,000 and $272,000, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 from the three month period ended September 30, 2013 is primarily due to: (i) an increase of $410,000 in stock-based compensation expenses, from income of $71,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to expense of $339,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014; (ii) an increase of $57,000 in payroll costs from $153,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $210,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014, and (iii) an increase of $117,000 for IR PR costs, consulting fees, stock costs and other costs, from $190,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $307,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Financial Expenses:

 

Financial income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $9,000, compared to a financial expense of $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

The financial income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is mainly due to a financial income of $38,000 that is due to revaluation of certain warrants issued to investors in the Company’s August 2013 public offering ("2013 Warrants"). Certain 2013 Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the anti-dilution provisions require those 2013 Warrants to be valued and classified as a warrant liability on the balance sheet, resulting in a reduction of stockholders’ equity. This warrant liability will be revaluated every quarter report. Income from revaluation was partially offset by a financial expense of $29,000.

 

Net Loss:

 

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $2,421,000, as compared to a net loss of $1,082,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 were $0.16 and $0.10, 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 September 30, 2014 was 15,158,411, compared to 10,948,208 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

The increase in the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, was due to (i) the issuance of shares of common stock as part of the public offering in August 2013 and in June 2014, (ii) the exercise of warrants and options, (iii) exchange of warrants issued to certain investors as part of the public offering in August 2013, to shares of common stock, and (iv) the issuance of shares to service providers. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through public and private sales of its Common Stock and warrants and the issuance of convertible promissory notes. At September 30, 2014, the Company had $11,107,000 in total current assets and $2,395,000 in total current liabilities.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,119,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Cash used for operating activities 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 $1,606,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $366,000.

  

The Company’s other material cash needs for the next 12 months will include payments of (i) costs of the clinical trials in the US and Israel; (ii) employee salaries; (iii) patents; (iv) construction fees for facilities to be used in the Company’s research and development and (v) fees to Company consultants and legal advisors.

 

27
 

  

Company's operations are very capital intensive and will require substantial capital raisings. If the Company is not able to raise substantial additional capital, it may not be able to continue to function as a going concern and may have to cease operations. Even if the Company obtains funding sufficient to fund its operations in the short term, it would still be required to raise a substantial amount of capital in the future in order to reach profitability and to complete the commercialization of the Company’s products. The Company’s 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.

 

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. 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, 2013.

 

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 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 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.
