        <footnote id="F1">These securities were purchased in a public offering made by NeoStem, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;). Pursuant to the terms of this
 public offering, the Company sold units (&quot;Units&quot;) at a per Unit price of $5.00 with each Unit consisting of one (1) share of
 common stock, $.001 par value and one-half a Class A Warrant to purchase one-half a share of common stock. Each Class A
 Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at $6.00 per share. The Class A Warrants become
 exercisable when they become separately tradable from the Units, which is a date not later than 10/13/2007, and expire five
 years from the effective date of the public offering of 07/16/2007. Dr. Smith purchased 3,300 Units at a total purchase
 price of $16,500. Dr. Smith thus acquired 3,300 shares and 1,650 Class A Warrants to purchase 1,650 shares of common stock.</footnote>
