Amendment No. 2 to Form 10 Registration Statement
Filed September 6, 2011
File No. 0-54402
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We act as counsel for BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (formerly known as Stem Cell Assurance, Inc.) (the “Company”). We refer to the Staff’s letter dated October 6, 2011 to Mark Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with respect to Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Form 10 Registration Statement filed with the Commission on September 6, 2011. Mr. Weinreb has referred the Staff’s letter to us for a response. In that regard, on behalf of the Company, we respond to the comments in the Staff’s letter with respect to the Form 10 as follows:
Overview, page 1
1. Comment: We note your response to comment one, relating to the Overview section, of our letter dated August 8, 2011, and we reissue it in part. Please revise either your Overview section or the various areas where you cross-reference to more detailed discussions of components of your business plan to clarify the impact the lack of funding would have on the timing and your ability to implement your business plan.
Response: A more detailed discussion has been included in Item 1 with respect to the components of the Company’s business plan, including a prioritization as to the use of proceeds received.

2. Comment: We note your response to comment 8 of our letter dated August 8, 2011, and we reissue it. Please revise to disclose the material terms and conditions of all material debt financing on an individual basis. We note that your table on page 41 still aggregates the various notes and does not disclose the identity of the lenders, any conditions, covenants, or other provisions that may be material.
Response: The Staff’s comment has been addressed. The Staff is advised that all material provisions with respect to the debt financings have been disclosed.
Executive Compensation, page 50
3. Comment: We note your response to comment 12 of our letter dated August 8, 2011, and we reissue it. Since Ms. McConnell was issued shares of stock as part of her termination agreement, it appears that the grant date fair value of this award should be included in the summary compensation table. Please revise your summary compensation table accordingly.
Response: The grant date fair value of the stock award has been included in the summary compensation table for Ms. McConnell.
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, page 53
4. Comment: We note your response to comment 13 of our letter dated August 8, 2011, and we reissue it. Please revise to clarify Mr. Berger’s relationship with Stem Cell Research Company, LLC and why his termination agreement directed Stem Cell Research to receive $180,000 and why Stem Cell Research agreed to the voting proxy for its shares in connection with Mr. Berger’s termination. It is unclear why Mr. Berger is a party to your agreements with Stem Cell Research and why Stem Cell Research is a party to Mr. Berger’s termination agreement.
Response: As indicated in the Form 10, the Company does not have any knowledge as to any control that Mr. Berger may currently exercise with respect to Stem Cell Research. As disclosed, the Company has been advised that Ms. McConnell is the President and sole member of Stem Cell Research. Mr. Berger and Stem Cell Research are parties to the Termination Agreement because they were both parties to the original employment agreement that was being terminated. The Company followed Mr. Berger’s instructions as to the payment of the $180,000 to Stem Cell Research. Stem Cell Research agreed to the voting proxy in consideration of the Company’s payment obligation to it.

Filed July 11, 2011
File No. 0-54402
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We act as counsel for BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (formerly Stem Cell Assurance, Inc.) (the “Company”). We refer to the Staff’s letter dated August 8, 2011 to Mark Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with respect to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Form 10 Registration Statement filed with the Commission on July 11, 2011. Mr. Weinreb has referred the Staff’s letter to us for a response. In that regard, on behalf of the Company, we respond to the comments in the Staff’s letter with respect to the Form 10 as follows:
Overview, page 1
1. Comment: We reissue comment one of our letter dated June 6, 2011. Please provide a more detailed discussion of your business plan. Clearly disclose the milestones for each part of your business plan, including the estimated time frame for each milestone, the estimated costs and the intended sources of funding. In response to our prior comment you have instead provided very general disclosure of the business plan, rather than the various milestones that are needed to implement each phase of your business plan.
Response: A more detailed discussion has been included in Item 1 with respect to the estimated timeframe for each milestone of the Company’s business plan, the estimated costs involved in each milestone and the intended source of funds. Appropriate cross-references have been included in the “Overview” section.
2. Comment: While we note the general statement on page one that the implementation of the business plan will require sufficient equity or debt financing to fund your operations, please revise the disclosure to clearly state the intended source(s) of funding, whether you have any funding sources to date, and the impact on your business plan if you are unable to obtain such funding. In addition, we note the estimated costs and time frame for implementing parts of your business plan. Given the significant funding needed, please explain how you determined the time frame and discuss whether you currently have the funding for that particular part of your business plan.

Response: Additional disclosures and cross-references have been included in the “Overview” section with regard to the Company’s funding needs.
Strategy, page 1
1. Comment: We note your response to comment six of our letter dated June 6, 2011, and we reissue it. It is unclear why you provide disclosure of a strategy that is “[s]ubject to the relaxation of strict domestic regulatory restrictions.” Please revise to clarify whether you have a basis for believing the regulatory restrictions that prevent you from operating parts of your business in the United States may be changed in the near future. Otherwise this statement and your contingent plans for U.S. locations for your stem cell therapy clinic and other products appear speculative.
Response: The language has been revised to address the Staff’s concern.
Brown Adipose (Fat) Program, page 2
2. Comment: Please revise to clarify what you mean by “platform technology that involves the use of brown fat cell-based therapeutic/cosmetic program.” It is unclear if this is a HCT/P that would be subject to FDA regulations as described on page 7. Further, it is unclear if this is a product that has already been developed or would be developed by your Jupiter laboratory.
Response: The Staff’s comment has been addressed.
Stem Pearls, page 5
3. Comment: We note your response to comment nine of our letter dated June 6, 2011, and we reissue it in part.

Government Regulation, page 7
5. Comment: We note your responses to comments 12 and 13 of our letter dated June 6, 2011 and we reissue them in part. Please revise to clarify why your HCT/P products would be considered “practice of medicine” and exempt from FDA regulation. Also, please clarify whether any of your competitors with similar products and services are subject to FDA regulation. Also, please revise this section to provide details, timing, and cost of receiving FDA approval for your products.
Response: The Staff is advised that the Government Regulation section has been substantially rewritten, including with regard to the scope of the FDA’s authority to regulate the Company’s business and a pending action between the FDA and another company with regard to such authority. Disclosure as to the Company’s contemplated Phase I clinical trials has been included under the “Brown (Adipose) Fat Program” and “Treatment” sections.
6. Comment: In addition, please provide a detailed discussion of the governmental regulations that will apply to you in the foreign jurisdiction(s) where you plan to begin your operations. This would include the Cayman Islands. See Item 101(h)(4)(viii) and (ix) of Regulation S-K.
Response: The Staff is advised that the Company has no definitive plans or arrangements to establish a treatment facility outside the United States. Accordingly, no additional disclosure as to foreign governmental regulations has been included.
Foreign Government Regulation, page 14
7. Comment: We note your response to comment 15 of our letter dated June 6, 2011 and we reissue it in part. Please revise the disclosure here and in your Medical Tourism section on page nine to clarify whether your Cayman clinic or the licensing of your technology to a third party foreign clinic is a long term project dependent on future financing. If you intend to establish this part of your business in the next 12 months, please provide further disclosure of your anticipated timeline, the funding necessary to establish this business, and anticipated source of funding for this business. Also, if any clinics will be in operation in the next 12 months, please provide further details of the steps necessary to establish this business. We note, for example, you reference licensing your technology, but you previously disclosed that you do not have any proprietary technology or patents at this time.

Also, your cross-reference to the risk factors section should include a specific page number to the relevant risk factor. In addition, as previously requested, please provide more specific disclosure regarding the impact this action may have upon your business.
