BRAINSTORM CELL THERAPEUTICS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A development stage company)

Notes to the financial statements

NOTE 1  -  GENERAL

 
A.
Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (formerly: Golden Hand Resources Inc.) (The "Company") was incorporated in the State of Washington on September 22, 2000.

 
B.
On May 21, 2004, the former major stockholders of the Company entered into a purchase agreement with a group of private investors, who purchased from the former major stockholders 6,880,000 shares of the then issued and outstanding 10,238,000 shares of Common Stock.

 
C.
On July 8, 2004, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Ramot of Tel Aviv University Ltd. ("Ramot"), an Israeli corporation, to acquire certain stem cell technology (see Note 3). Subsequent to this agreement, the Company decided to focus on the development of novel cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease, based on the acquired technology and research to be conducted and funded by the Company.

 
D.
On November 22, 2004, the Company changed its name from Golden Hand Resources Inc. to Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. to better reflect its new line of business in the development of novel cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. BCT owns all operational property and equipment.

 
E.
On October 25, 2004, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Ltd. ("BCT").

 
F.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring assets and raising capital. In addition, the Company has not generated revenues. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and reporting by development Stage Enterprises" ASC 915-10 (formerly "SFAS" 7).

GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s operations for the nine months ended on September 30, 2010, resulted in a net loss of $1,933 and the Company’s balance sheet reflects net stockholders’ equity of ($623) and accumulated deficit of $39,674. These conditions 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. Management’s plans in this regard include, among others, raising additional cash from current and potential stockholders and lenders.

Notes to the financial statements

NOTE 1  -  GENERAL (Cont.)

GOING CONCERN (Cont.)

As a result of the current economic situation and the difficulty raising immediately available funds to support all of the Company’s projects, the Company decided to reduce its activity and focus only on the effort to commence clinical trials in ALS amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2010. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadassah Medical Centre to conduct clinical trials in up to 26 ALS patients in 2010. In 2010 the Company raised approximately $2.1 million from investors for this purpose.

In October 2010 the Israeli Ministry of Health granted clearance for a Phase I/II clinical trial using the Company’s autologous NurOwn™ stem cell therapy in patients with ALS, subject to some additional process specifications as well as completion of the sterility validation study for tests performed (see Note 8). This clearance is a significant milestone for the Company and may expedite further fund raisings.

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.

NOTE 2  -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2009, are applied consistently in these financial statements.

NOTE 3  -  UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format and include the consolidated financial operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary as of September 30, 2010 and for the nine months then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. 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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 4  -  RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

The Company has a Research and License Agreement, as amended and restated, with Ramot. The Company obtained a waiver and release from Ramot pursuant to which Ramot agreed to an amended payment schedule regarding the Company's payment obligations under the Research and License Agreement and waived all claims against the Company resulting from the Company's previous defaults and non-payment under the Research and License Agreement. The waiver and release amended and restated the original payment schedule under the original agreement providing for payments during the initial research period and additional payments for any extended research period.

As of December 24, 2009, the Company had paid to Ramot $400 but did not make payments totaling $240 for the initial research period and payments totaling $380 for the extended research period.

On December 24, 2009, the Company and Ramot entered into a settlement agreement which amended the Research and License Agreement, as amended and restated pursuant to which, among other things, the following matters were agreed upon:

 
  a)
Ramot released the Company from its obligation to fund the extended research period in the total amount of $1,140. Therefore, the Company deleted an amount in 2009, equal to $760 from it research and development expenses that were previously expensed.

 
  b)
Past due amounts of $240 for the initial research period plus interest of $32 owed by the Company to Ramot was converted into 1,120,000 shares of common stock on December 30, 2009. Ramot was required to deposit the shares with a broker and only sell the shares in the open market after 185 days from the issuance date.

In the event that the total proceeds generated by sales of the shares are less than $120 on or prior to September 30, 2010 ("September Payment"), then on such date the Company shall pay to Ramot the difference between the aggregate proceeds that have been received by Ramot up to such date, and $120.  In the event that the total proceeds generated by sales of the shares on December 31, 2010, together with the September 30, 2010 payment, are less than $240 on or prior to December 31, 2010, then on such date the Company shall pay to Ramot the difference between the proceeds that Ramot has received from sales of the shares up to such date together with the September Payment (if any) that has been transferred to Ramot up to such date, and $240. As of September 30, 2010, the total proceeds generated by Ramot’s sale of shares was $84 (See Note 8b).

NOTE 5  -  CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

 
  A.
On July 8, 2004, the Company entered into two consulting agreements with Prof. Eldad Melamed and Dr. Daniel Offen (together, the "Consultants"), under which the Consultants provide the Company scientific and medical consulting services in consideration for a monthly payment of $6 each. In addition, the Company granted each of the Consultants, a fully vested warrant to purchase 1,097,215 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants issued pursuant to the agreement were issued to the Consultants effective as of November 4, 2004. Each of the warrants is exercisable for a seven-year period beginning on November 4, 2005. As of September 2010, all the above warrants had been exercised.

 
  B.
As of September 30, 2010, the Company has a total obligation of $451 for services rendered by the Consultants under the abovementioned agreements.

NOTE 6  -  SHORT-TERM LOANS

In March 2007, the Company issued a $150 convertible note to a lender, with an annual interest rate of 8% for the first year, with an increase up to 10% after the first year. On January 27, 2010, the lender converted the entire accrued principal and interest of $189 into 1,016,109 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Since the outcome of the issuance of the shares was to relieve the debtor from its obligation, based on guidance in ASC 860-10 (formerly FASB No 140) and ASC 450-20 Extinguishment of Liabilities” the Company derecognized the liability with the difference recognized in earnings.
