(A development stage company)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

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 and ALS disease, based on the acquired technology and research to be conducted and funded by the Company.

Following the licensing agreement dated July 8, 2004, the management of the Company decided to abandon all old activities related to the sale of the digital data recorder product. The discontinuation of this activity was accounted for under the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 144 (ASC 360-10), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".

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

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.

In December 2006, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Washington to Delaware.

On September 17, 2006, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from March 31 to December 31.

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially most 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 (ASC 915-10), "Accounting and reporting by development Stage Enterprises" ("SFAS No. 7").

GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s operations for the nine months ended on September 30, 2009, resulted in a net loss of $1,678 and the Company’s balance sheet reflects a net stockholders’ deficiency of $2,568, accumulated deficit of $37,638 and working capital deficiency of $3,177. 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.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (Cont.)

GOING CONCERN (Cont.)

Accordingly, as a result of the current economic situation and the difficulty to raise immediate fund to support all of the Company’s projects, the Company decided to reduce its activity and downsize it workforce and focus only on the effort to reach clinical trials in ALS in 2010.

The Company also reduced its general and administrative expenses and stopped some development projects until it is able to obtain sufficient financing. There can be no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated and that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

The Company depends on Ramot to conduct its research and development activities. As discussed in Note 4, the Company did not make a certain payment in 2008 to Ramot. As a result, the Company did not meet the payment schedule according to the agreement with Ramot and Ramot is entitled to terminate the research and license agreement.

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, 2008, are applied consistently in these financial statements.

Initial Adoption of New Standards

FSP FAS 157-4 (ASC 820)

In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820 FASB staff position 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are Not Orderly” (“ASC 820-10-65“). This amendment applies to all assets and liabilities within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except as discussed in ASC 820-15-2. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. ASC 820-10-65 relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms the objective of fair value measurement, as stated in ASC 820 to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Initial Adoption of New Standards (Cont.)

The amendment provides guidance on (1) estimating the fair value of an asset or liability (financial and nonfinancial) when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and (2) identifying transactions that are not orderly. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

SFAS 165 (ASC 855)

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (SFAS No. 165), “Subsequent Events”. ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this statement sets forth: (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 is effective for the interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 (ASC 320-10-65)

In April 2009 the FASB issued ASC 320-10-65 (FASB staff position 115-2 and 124-2), “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“OTTI”) for investment in debt securities. This ASC applies to all entities and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.

Under the ASC, the primary change to the OTTI model for debt securities is the change in focus from an entity’s intent and ability to hold a security until recovery. Instead, an OTTI is triggered if (1) an entity has the intent to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, or (3) it does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In addition, the ASC changes the presentation of an OTTI in the income statement if the only reason for recognition is a credit loss (i.e., the entity does not expect to recover its entire amortized cost basis). That is, if the entity has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security, the entire impairment (amortized cost basis over fair value) will be recognized in earnings.

However, if the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security, but the security has suffered a credit loss, then the impairment charge will be separated into the credit loss component, which is recorded in earnings, and the remainder of the impairment charge, which is recorded in other comprehensive income. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS 166 (ASC 860)

In June 2009 the FASB issued ASC 860 (SFAS No.166) “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”. ASC 860 is a revision to Statement ASC 860-10 (Statement No. 140), “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and continued exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. ASC 860 enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a company’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. ASC 860 will be effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 167 (ASC 810)

In June 2009 the FASB issued ASC 810 (formerly SFAS No. 167) “Amendments to ASC 810-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 46(R))”, which changes the way entities account for securitizations and special-purpose entities. ASC 810 is a revision to ASC 810-10, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, and changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. ASC 810 will require a company to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A company will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the company’s financial statements. ASC 810 will be effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 168 (ASC 105)

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 (SFAS No.168), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification’ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. ASC 105 establishes the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”), and was officially launched on July 1, 2009, for the purpose of serving as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Cont.)

U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The subsequent issuances of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates that will be included in the Codification. In general, the Codification is not expected to change U.S. GAAP. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non- authoritative. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Effective September 30, 2009, all references made to GAAP in our consolidated financial statements include the new Codification numbering system along with original references.

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 fully owned subsidiary as of September 30, 2009 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, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 4 - RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

On July 26, 2007, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Research and License Agreement with Ramot. On August 1, 2007, 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 Amended Research and License Agreement, dated March 30, 2006, and waived all claims against the Company resulting from the Company's previous defaults and non-payment under the original agreement and the Amended Research and License Agreement. The payments described in the waiver and release covered all payment obligations that were past due and not yet due pursuant to the original agreement. The waiver and release amends and restates the original payment schedule under the original agreement as follows:

Payment date	Amount
September 5, 2007		100
November 20, 2007		150
February 20, 2008		150
May 20, 2008		150
August 4, 2008		90

NOTE 4 - RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENT (Cont.)

In addition, in the event that the "research period," as defined in the Amended Research and License Agreement, is extended for an additional three year period in accordance with the terms of the Amended Research and License Agreement, then the Company is obligated to the following payments to Ramot during the first year of the extended research period:

Payment date	Amount
August 4, 2008		60
November 20, 2008		150
February 20, 2009		170

If the Company fails to make a payment to Ramot on any required payment date, and the Company does not cure the default within seven business days of notice of the default, all claims of Ramot against the Company, which were waived and released by the waiver and release, may be reinstated.

As of November 13, 2009, the Company paid to Ramot the first three payments totaling $400 but has not made the last two payments of $240 and for the extended research period. As a result, the Company is in breach of the new agreement with Ramot and Ramot may terminate the research and license agreement.

On January 29, 2009, the Company received a breach warning from Ramot and the parties are currently negotiating an amendment to postpone the payments.

The Company's total current obligation to Ramot as of September 30, 2009 is in the amount of $1,057. The amount includes $760 for the extended research period that the Company is currently negotiating with Ramot.

NOTE 5 - CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

On July 8, 2004, the Company entered into two consulting agreements with Prof. Eldad Melamed and Dr. Daniel Offen (together, the "Consultants"), upon which the Consultants shall 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 30, 2009, the Company has a total obligation of $334 for services rendered by the Consultants.

NOTE 6 - SHORT-TERM LOANS

On April 13, 2008, the Company entered into a new agreement with a lender which the lender agreed to partially defer and partially convert to the Company’s common stock the payment of $1,250 owed by the Company to the lender based on the payment agreement between the two parties.

Pursuant to the new agreement, the Company agreed to pay $250 of the Debt in accordance with the following schedule:

Payment date	Amount
May 30, 2008		50
July 31, 2008		50
September 30, 2008		50
December 31, 2008		50
February 28, 2009		50

In addition, the Company issued 2,857,142 shares of common stock to the lender in lieu of the repayment of $1,000 of the Debt.

The lender agreed that upon payment of the foregoing amounts in accordance with the foregoing schedule and the receipt of the stock grant, all of the Company’s outstanding obligations owed to the lender under the notes will be satisfied in full. The lender also waived any breach or default that may have arisen prior to the date of the new agreement from the failure of the Company to make payments to the lender under any of past agreements.

The Company paid to the lender the first payment and on April 6, 2009 the Company and the lender agreed to convert the entire remaining debt of $200 to 2,500,000 restricted shares of common stock.

Since the outcome of the issuance of the shares was to relieve the debtor from its obligation, based on guidance in FASB No 140 (ASC 860-10) “Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities“ the Company derecognized the liability with the difference recognized in earning.
