Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note A – Nature Of Operations And Basis Of Presentation

        Medis Technologies Ltd. (“MTL”), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company, which through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Medis El Ltd. (“Medis El”) and More Energy Ltd. (“More Energy”) (collectively, the “Company”), engages in research and development of technology products to license, sell, or enter into joint ventures with large corporations. The Company’s primary business focus is on the advanced development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of direct liquid fuel cell products for portable electronic devices. Included in this category are the most modern cell phones with a full range of functionality, digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players, other devices with similar power requirements and a broad array of military devices.  The Company’s other technologies, which are in various stages of development, include the CellScan, inherently conductive polymers, the toroidal engine, stirling cycle system, and the Rankin cycle linear compressor.

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the following notes and with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2004 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to interim financial information and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, such condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

        The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

Note B – Certain Transactions

  1.

Private Placements of Common Stock – In January 2004, MTL issued 1,425,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement to institutional investors, for gross proceeds of approximately $14,588,000, less related costs of approximately $309,000.


  2.

Exercise of Stock Options – From January 1 through June 30, 2004, MTL issued 241,450 shares of its common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under its 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1,378,000.


  3.

Exercise of Warrants – From January 1 through June 30, 2004, MTL issued 26,230 shares of its common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants, at exercise prices ranging from $4.92 to $9.60 per share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $155,000.


  4.

Grant of Warrants – On June 6, 2004, the Company granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,946 shares of the Company’s common stock to those shareholders who


4


  exercised warrants received in the Company’s 2002 shareholder loyalty program prior to the November 13, 2004 completion of the Company’s offer to exchange and exercise. Such warrants have the same terms as those issued in connection with the offer to exchange and exercise and, accordingly, vested upon issuance, provide for an exercise price of $9.60 per share and expire on November 14, 2004. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a 1.5% risk free interest rate, 0% dividend yield, expected life of 0.5 years and 54% volatility, the Company has estimated the fair value of such warrants to be approximately $43,000.

  5.

Stock-based Compensation – SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”) amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based methods of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.


  As provided for in SFAS No. 148, the Company has elected to continue to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” in accounting for its employee stock options, under which compensation expense, if any, is generally based on the difference between the exercise price of an option or the amount paid for the award and the market price or fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of the grant. To the extent that compensation expense is recognized with respect to stock options issued to employees or directors, such expense is amortized over the vesting period of such options. Stock-based compensation arrangements involving non-employees or non-directors are accounted for under SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” under which such arrangements are accounted for based on the fair value of the option or award.

  Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for all awards, the Company’s net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:
