The same has happened with the cash strapped BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, at Petach Tikvah in Israel who has announced here today that it shall be able in due process to raise up to $5 million from the well-known ACCBT Corporation. It has also been stated in this regard, that in the recently concluded SEC filings the company reported of the possession of the amount of $154,000 in cash while there has also been an amount of more than $3 million in liabilities together with the investor loans.
