NOTE 1
 -
GENERAL

 
A.
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, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".

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

 
C.
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.

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

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

 
F.
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, "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 six months ended on June 30, 2009, resulted in a net loss of $1,057 and the Company’s balance sheet reflects a net stockholders’ deficiency of $2,292, accumulated deficit of $37,017 and working capital deficiency of $2,935. 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.

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 2009-2010.

The Company also reduced its general and administrative expenses and ceased and delayed 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FSP FAS 157-4

In April 2009 the FASB issued 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". This FSP applies to all assets and liabilities within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except as discussed in paragraphs 2 and 3 of statement 157. The FSP is Effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively.
FSP FAS 157-4 relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what Statement 157 states is the objective of fair value measurement—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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Cont.)

FSP FAS 157-4 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

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 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.  SFAS No. 165 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

In April 2009 the FASB issued FASB staff position 115-2 and 124-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments" ("OTTI") for investment in debt securities. This FSP applies to all entities and are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted.

Under the FSP, 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 FSP 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, 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 (OCI). The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

SFAS 166

In June 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No.166 "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets" ("SAFS No. 166"). SAFS No. 166 is a revision to 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 where companies have continuing 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. SFAS No. 166 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. SFAS No. 166 will be effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently examining this new standard; The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 June 30, 2009 and for the six 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 six months ended June 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

 
A.
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  

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 August 13 , 2009, the Company paid to Ramot the first three payments total of $400 but has not made yet the last two payments total 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.

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

B.
The Company's total current obligation to Ramot as of June 30, 2009 is in the amount of $961. The amount includes $665 for the extended research period.

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

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.

NOTE 6 - 
SHORT-TERM LOANS (Cont.)

The Company paid to the lender first payment and on April 6, 2009 the Company and the lender agreed to convert the entire 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 “Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities“ the Company derecognized the liability with the difference  recognized in earning.
