NOTE 1 — GENERAL
  a.   TopSpin Medical, Inc (“the Company”) and its subsidiary, TopSpin Medical (Israel) Ltd. (the “Subsidiary” or “TopSpin”) are engaged in research and development of medical MRI technology.
 
      The Company was incorporated and commenced operation in September 1999 as a private company registered in Delaware. On September 1, 2005, the Company issued securities to the public in Israel and became publicly traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). In 2007, the Company listed some of its securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s stocks are traded only in Israel in NIS.
 
  b.   Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially most of its efforts to business planning, research and development, marketing, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring assets and raising capital. 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”).
 
      The Company plans to continue to finance its operations with a combination of stock issuance and private placements. In addition, the Company is exploring different alternatives for the repayment of the Series A Debentures of the company or its conversion into the Company’s shares of Common Stock, including through making a tender offer to the holders of the Series A Debentures against receipt of cash consideration and issuance of shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
 
      There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of its planned products.
 
  c.   The Company develops an endorectal probe for the diagnosis of prostate cancer based on its MRI technology (the “Urology Product”). The Company’s board of directors decided in its meeting on April 27, 2008, that the Company will direct more focus and resources on the development of its Urology Product while decreasing its expenses related to the IVMRI catheter activity due to the market feedback received following the initial sales in cardiology and an analysis of the cardiology and urology markets. Also, the Company’s board of directors decided to decrease the total research and development expenses starting in the second half of 2008 by 40% as compared to expenses incurred in the second half of 2007.
  d.   Subsequent to the balance sheet date and following meetings held between the Company and the Israeli trustee of the Series A Debentures (the “Trustee”), it was agreed to convene a meeting of the holders of the Series A Debentures on June 1, 2008 (the “Meeting”). The agenda of the Meeting is:
  a.   Update by the Company of its business status and its future plans followed by a discussion on these issues.
 
  b.   Presentation of the Company’s proposal for an arrangement with the holders of the Series A Debentures followed by a discussion.
 
  c.   Discussion of the holders of the Series A Debentures and a resolution regarding their view on whether an “Event of Default”, as defined in section 7.07 of the indenture of the Series A Debentures (the “Indenture”) has occurred.
      The Company believes, based on the advice of its legal advisors, that no “Event of Default”, as defined in section 7.07 of the Indenture, has occurred, and therefore it is remote that the Company will be required to immediately repay the Series A Debentures.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
      The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared as of March 31, 2008, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 three month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
 
      The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements except as detailed below:

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
  a.   In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). This Statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The Statement’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007.
 
      The Company has decided to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2008 and consequently measures the convertible debentures in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As a result, the Company recorded an increase in retained earnings in the amount of NIS 5,379. This amount represents the difference between the aggregate amount of the fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the amortized book value of the convertible debentures as of December 31, 2007, net of issuance expenses, which amounts to NIS 37,018 and the fair market value of the convertible debentures, based on quoted market price as of the same date in the amount of NIS 31,639. The convertible debentures are linked to the CPI and will be redeemable in one installment (unless conversion occurs) on November 30, 2009. As of March 31, 2008, the fair value of the convertible debentures was NIS 51,662.
 
  b.   Impact of recently issued accounting standards:
  1.   SFAS No. 160:
 
      SFAS 160 — In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest.
 
 
      SFAS 160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.
 
      SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted.
 
      The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 160 could have on its consolidated financial statements.

  b.   Impact of recently issued accounting standards (cont.):
  2.   FAS No. 157
 
      In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This statement provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures concerning fair value. Previously, different definitions of fair value were contained in various accounting pronouncements creating inconsistencies in measurement and disclosures. SFAS 157 applies under those previously issued pronouncements that prescribe fair value as the relevant measure of value, except SFAS 123(R) and related interpretations. The statements does not apply to accounting standards that require or permit measurement similar to fair value but are not intended to measure fair value. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (the FSP). The FSP amends FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Statement 157), to delay the effective date of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually). For items within its scope, the FSP defers the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
      The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this pronouncement may have on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 — CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
      Commitments to pay royalties to the Office of the Chief Scientist:
 
      The Subsidiary has obtained from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the State of Israel grants for participation in research and development and, in return, the Subsidiary is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 3% of the sales in the first three years from the beginning of the repayment and 3.5% of the sales from the fourth year until all of its obligation is repaid, whichever period ends earlier. The grant is linked to the exchange rate of the dollar and bears interest of LIBOR per annum.
 
      Through March 31, 2008, total grants obtained had an aggregate value of NIS 16,747.

      In December 2002, the Company issued 87,386,858 Preferred C shares in consideration for a total amount of NIS 73,816 (net of issuance expenses of NIS 2,200) at a price of $0.1886 per share.
 
      The consideration for the issued stock was paid at the closing day (NIS 47,358) and the remaining consideration was paid when the Company achieved the development milestone, as detailed in the agreement (commencement of clinical trials of its products on humans) in 2003.
 
      Preferred C shares conferred, among others, preference rights in respect of distribution of the Company’s earnings and distribution of the Company’s assets upon liquidation. Preferred A and B shares conferred, among others, preference rights in respect of distribution of the Company’s assets upon liquidation, after such distribution is made to holders of Preferred C shares and Common Stock conferred voting rights and rights in distribution of the Company’s assets upon liquidation, after such distribution is made to holders of Preferred shares.
 
      All classes of shares, as above, conferred equal voting rights in the Company’s general meetings on the basis of conversion into the underlying Common Stock.
 
      Preferred A, B and C shares were convertible into Common Stock according to conversion rates of 15.5885, 53.4998 and 1 per Ordinary share, respectively.
 
      On August 22, 2005, the Company effected a consolidation and distribution of its share capital in such a manner that 375,001 Preferred A shares of $ 0.001 were converted into 5,845,692 Common Stock, 208,329 Preferred B shares were converted into 11,145,557 Common Stock and 87,386,858 Preferred C shares were converted into 87,386,858 Common Stock.

NOTE 4 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONT.)
  b.   Share capital (cont.):
  2.   According to an agreement signed in December 2002, the Company issued to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 11,927,727 Common Stock in consideration for $100,000, subject to repurchase right according to certain vesting terms. The Subsidiary gave the CEO a loan to finance the purchase of the Company’s shares. The loan is denominated in U.S dollars and bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum. As a security to ensure the repayment of the loan, the CEO pledged these shares for the benefit of the Company. The pledged shares and the related balance of the loan were deducted from the shareholders’ equity.
 
      The agreement determines that in case of inability to repay the loan, the loan may be repaid only out of the return on the pledged shares. The CEO has also undertaken that if the first of the events detailed in the agreement occurs (such as the Company becomes an issuer, as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), he will repay the outstanding loan amount, if he is required to do so by the Subsidiary. In August 2005, the Company and the CEO signed an agreement that modifies the employment conditions of the CEO and revises the terms of the loan and the pledge. The first half of the $ 100,000 loan that the CEO received in order to purchase the Company’s shares, including the accrued interest thereon, will become a grant at the end of the second
anniversary of the IPO, and the other half at the end of the third anniversary of the IPO, provided that the CEO continues to be employed by the Subsidiary or is a consultant to the Subsidiary or in any of its related companies at such time. Accordingly, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the period from inception through March 31, 2008 amounts of NIS 241 and NIS 523, respectively became a grant and were recorded as expenses.
 
      The Company has a repurchase option to buy the unvested shares from the CEO at price equal to its original purchase price.
 
      Upon closing of the agreement 7/12 (seven twelfths) of the shares were immediately vested. The other portions of the shares are subject to the Company’s right of repurchase according to the following terms:
  A.   The Company’s right of repurchase shall lapse on a monthly basis over a four year period commencing on the date of execution of the original agreement.
 
  B.   The Company’s right of repurchase shall lapse, with respect to 1/6 (one sixth) of the shares in the event that the Company achieves a milestone as defined in the agreement. This milestone was achieved in September 2003.
      Until December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for these shares as a variable plan and remeasured compensation in the period such shares were vested. As of January 1, 2006, the fair value of the vested shares was classified as a liability.
 
      In August 2005, according to the modifications in the employment agreement and the loan agreement the security for the loan was replaced such that the CEO’s shares in a private company which holds 475,000 of the Company’s shares were pledged until the loan is fully paid.

  b.   Share capital (cont.):
      On March 4, 2007, at the General Meeting of the Company, the Company approved cancellation of the pledge on the above mentioned shares and repayment of the outstanding loan with proceeds from the grant. Consequently, the liability related to this loan in the amount of NIS 9,220 was classified as equity.
 
      Compensation expenses (income) related to the CEO of NIS (70) and NIS 8,866 were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the period from inception through March 31, 2008, respectively.
 
  3.   In December 2002, the Company granted fully vested options to holders of Common Stock, for their services, which are exercisable into 1,805,138 Common Stock of the Company at $ 0.001 per share. The options were exercised in September 2005 in consideration for NIS 7.
 
  4.   In December 2002, the Company granted fully vested options to Hemisphere Capital Corp., for their services, which are exercisable into 1,590,668 Preferred C shares of the Company at $ 0.1886 per share. In September 2005, all the options were exercised into 170,247 Common Stock.
 
  5.   On August 23, 2005, the Company increased its authorized share capital to 500 million Common Stock of $ 0.001 par value each.
 
  6.   On August 25, 2005, the Company published a prospectus for the issuance of securities to the public in Israel.

Each unit consisted of 1,000 Common Stock at NIS 0.95 per share and 600 options at no consideration.
 
      As such, the Company has 22,800,000 registered options (series 1) which are exercisable into 22,800,000 Common Stock of $ 0.001 par value with an exercise price of NIS 1.1 per share, linked to the changes in the dollar/NIS exchange rate from August 25, 2005. The options are exercisable up to February 28, 2008. As of the balance sheet date, 22,522 options (series 1) have been exercised and the rest have been forfeited.
 
      Net proceeds total approximately NIS 32,430 (net of issuance expenses of NIS 3,670). The net proceeds were allocated to the shares and options based on their relative market value.
 
  7.   On April 19, 2007, the Company filed a registration statement pursuant to the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Registration Statement” and “Securities Act” respectively) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding the sale of Common Stock and warrants (series 3) and the shares resulting from the exercise of the warrants (series 3). On June 4, 2007, the Registration Statement became effective.
 
      In the context of the Registration Statement, the Company is entitled to offer up to 53,000,000 Common Stock and 26,500,000 warrants (series 3), offered in 26,500,000 Units (each Unit consisting of 2 Common Stock and 1 warrant (series 3)), for a period of one year from the date the registration statement became effective.

This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised by employees for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was NIS 125.
 
      The fair value for these options was estimated using the Binomial option-pricing model.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our financial condition and plan of operations. You should read the following discussion along with our financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
     Overview
     Together with our subsidiaries, TopSpin Israel and TopSpin Urology, we design, research, develop and manufacture imaging devices that utilize MRI technology by means of miniature probes that image various body organs. We first began researching and developing this technology for use in the diagnosis and therapy guidance of heart disease. Our first product is an intravascular MRI, or IVMRI, catheter system for imaging and characterizing the tissue composition of coronary plaque during a conventional cardiac catheterization procedure.
     In 2006, we began to develop our technology for the detection of prostate cancer in a way which could potentially aid urologists in guiding prostate biopsies, staging of prostate cancer and guiding local treatment such as cryo- and brachy-therapy. We have since developed a preliminary prototype of the prostate imaging product and have conducted pre-clinical trials using this prototype for imaging excised human prostates. We have recently developed another prototype of the prostate imaging product, which incorporates both MRI and ultrasound sensors.
     On October 2, 2007, we filed a marketing application with the FDA in order to obtain the FDA’s approval to market our first generation IVMRI catheter in the United States. On April 8, 2008, we submitted a response letter to comments raised by the FDA regarding the abovementioned marketing application. The application is still pending before the FDA.
     Our Board of Directors recently determined to focus our resources on the development of the endorectal probe for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and to decrease expenses related to development of the IVMRI catheter system. In this regard, we plan to initiate clinical trials with our urology product by the third quarter of 2008 to determine its ability to differentiate between cancer and other non-cancerous prostate tissue. We expect to complete such clinical trial by the first fiscal quarter of 2009 and to continue developing our urology product for commercial use and to obtain regulatory approvals for its marketing in Europe and the United States. In addition, we intend to consider the development of other products using our core imaging technology in cardiology and other areas.
     While we began marketing efforts for the IVMRI Catheter system in Europe, we currently do not intend to enter into additional distribution arrangements of the IVMRI Catheter system beyond the existing distribution agreements. We intend to continue collecting clinical data regarding the use of the IVMRI Catheter system.
     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Since our inception, we have financed our operations principally through private and public sales of equity securities, convertible notes and through grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, an Israeli governmental agency. As of March 31, 2008, we held approximately 32,959,000 NIS (approximately $9,276,000) in cash and cash equivalents.
     Research and development on product candidates, conducting clinical trials and commercializing product candidates are expensive and we will need to raise substantial additional funds to achieve our strategic objectives. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Until we can generate significant continuing revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through the sale of additional Common Stock or sale of convertible securities. We intend to pursue new alternatives for raising additional funds. In this framework, we are exploring different alternatives for the repayment of our Series A Debentures or its conversion into our shares of Common Stock, including through making a tender offer to the holders of the Series A Debentures against receipt of cash consideration and issuance of our shares of Common Stock. There are no assurances however, that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed for the long term development and commercialization of our proposed products.

- 23 -


 

     We estimate that we can satisfy our cash requirements and will not have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months; this estimate is based on the assumption that we will not be required to make early redemption of the Series A Debentures as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Operating Activities
     We used 7,850,000 NIS (approximately $2,209,000) of cash in operating activities in the three months ended on March 31, 2008. In the same period in 2007, we used 7,265,000 NIS (approximately $2,045,000). The increase in net cash used in operating activities in 2008 is primarily attributable to an increase in our working capital.
     Financing Activities
     In September 2005, we raised net proceeds of 32,430,000 NIS (approximately $9,127,000) through the sale of Common Stock and Series 1 Warrants in an initial public offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). In November 2006, we raised net proceeds of 40,635,000 NIS (approximately $11,437,000) through the sale of Series A Convertible Bonds and Series 2 Warrants in a private placement. In June 2007, we raised net proceeds of 18,336,000 NIS (approximately $5,161,000) through the registered sale of Common Stock and Series 3 Warrants.
     Net cash provided by financing activities was 42,000 NIS during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to 186,000 NIS net cash used for financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
     Investing Activities
     We have invested a substantial portion of our available cash funds in NIS-denominated bank deposits. In the quarter ended on March 31, 2008, the net cash used in investing activities decreased to 211,000 NIS (approximately $59,000) from 320,000 NIS (approximately $90,000) in the same period in 2007.
     Results of Operations
     We have not recorded any revenues from operations since the time of our inception in September 1999. We have financed our operations principally through private and public sales of equity securities, convertible notes and through grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, an Israeli governmental agency. We use the funds generated by these activities to support research and development, administrative, and other expenses associated with developing, testing and marketing our proposed products.
     Research and Development Expense
     Research and Development (R&D) expense consists of the costs associated with the development of the IVMRI catheter system and the urology product, reduced by the value of the grant received from the Office of the Chief Scientist. In the three months ended on March 31, 2007, we incurred 7,174,000 NIS (approximately $2,019,000) of R&D expense, primarily in connection with the development of the IVMRI catheter system. In the same period in 2008, we reduced our R&D expense to 5,094,000 NIS (approximately $1,434,000). We expect to further reduce R&D expense in the last six months of 2008 by 40% as compared with the R&D expense incurred in the last six months of 2007.
     Selling and Marketing Expense
     Selling and Marketing expense includes expenses incurred in connection with marketing of the IVMRI catheter system. For the quarter ended on March 31, 2008, Selling and Marketing expense was 374,000 NIS (approximately $105,000), as compared with 322,000 (approximately $91,000) of Selling and Marketing expense incurred during the same period in 2007.
     General and Administrative Expense
     General and Administrative (G&A) expense includes salaries of all employees other than research and development employees and sales and marketing employees and other general expenses incurred by us which are not related to research.

and development and sales and marketing activities. G&A expense for the three months ended on March 31, 2008 decreased to 1,493,000 NIS (approximately $420,000) from 2,749,000 (approximately $774,000) spent in the same period in 2007. This decrease was primarily due to decrease in stock-based compensation expenses. We plan to continue decreasing G&A expense in 2008, primarily as a result of reducing staff size from 50 employees to 30 employees.
     Critical Accounting Policies
     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     Until December 31, 2005 we elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and the FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation” in accounting for our employee stock based compensation. According to APB No. 25, compensation expense is measured under the intrinsic value method, whereby compensation expense is equal to the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the share at the date of grant of the award over the exercise price.
     On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses based on the estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25 for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard starting from January 1, 2006. According to SFAS 123(R), an option indexed to a factor which is not a market, performance, or service condition, shall be classified as a liability.
     Our shares are traded in Israel in NIS. Our options granted to employees, directors and consultants are exercisable in U.S. Dollars. Our functional currency and the currency in which our employees are paid is NIS. Accordingly, until December 31, 2005, we considered all option plans as variable plans and thus the intrinsic value of all vested options is remeasured at each reporting date until the date of settlement. As of January 1, 2006, the fair value of the vested portion of the options was classified as a liability and remeasured at each reporting date until the date of settlement. In addition, an expense of 238 NIS was recorded on January 1, 2006 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Compensation cost for each period until settlement shall be based on the change in the fair value of the options for each reporting period based on the binomial method. We recognize compensation expenses of the value of our options based on the accelerated method over the requisite service period of each of the options.
     We apply 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”, with respect to options issued to non-employees. SFAS No. 123 requires the use of option valuation models to measure the fair value of the options and warrants. Until December 31, 2005 the fair value of these options was estimated using Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Since January 1, 2006 the fair value of these options was estimated according to the principles determined in SFAS 123(R) based on the binomial option pricing model.
     In accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock” (EITF 00-19), we recorded the consideration paid for the Convertible Bonds and Series 2 Warrants as a liability. The Series 2 Warrants were recorded as a liability based on their fair value. According to EITF 05-2, “The meaning of conventional convertible Debt Instrument in Issue No. 00-19” the Convertible Bonds are considered as non conventional convertible debentures. As such, the bifurcation of the conversion feature was required. In addition, we considered the commission of 2% to be paid to the placement agent of the Convertible Bonds and Series 2

- 25 -


 

Warrants placement in November 2006 upon the conversion of the Convertible Bonds as an embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative was recorded as a liability. We estimated the fair value of the abovementioned liabilities using a binomial model, except that following the listing of the Series 2 Warrants for trade on the TASE we estimated this liability based on its market value. The binomial model requires the use of several assumptions made by us, which affect the estimated fair value of the liabilities. The significant assumption we used in determining the fair value of the abovementioned liabilities is the expected volatility; the expected volatility estimation is based on historical volatilities from traded stock of similar companies and on historical volatility of the market price of our shares of Common Stock on the TASE.
     Starting January 1, 2008, we have decided to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 159 and consequently the convertible debentures are measured in their entirety at fair market value with changes in fair market value recorded in earnings.
     Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     Commitments to Pay Royalties to the Chief Scientist
     TopSpin Israel obtains grants from the OCS for participation in research and development and, in return, is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 3% of sales during the first three years from the start date of the repayments and 3.5% of sales from the fourth year until the full repayment of the grants. The grants are linked to the exchange rate of the dollar and bear interest of LIBOR per annum. As of March 31, 2008, the total amount of grants obtained equals approximately 16,747,000 NIS (approximately $4,713,000).
     Offices Lease Commitments
     In July 2003, TopSpin Israel signed an agreement with a third party for the lease and maintenance of a space where we maintain our offices, laboratories and a “clean room” for the production of our products for a period of five years. The total annual rent and maintenance expenses are approximately 682,000 NIS (approximately $192,000). Future rental commitments under this lease agreement as of March 31, 2008, are 448,000 NIS (approximately $126,000).
     In December 2006, TopSpin Israel entered into an additional five-year lease agreement with the third party for the lease of additional space at the same facility at a cost of approximately 110,000 NIS (approximately $31,000) annually starting February 2007. As part of this additional lease agreement, the lessor participated in investment in leasehold improvements. If TopSpin Israel abandons the leased space after 22 months of the lease, it will become liable for the payment of additional expenses in the amount of approximately 100,000 NIS (approximately $28,000). Future rental commitments under this additional lease agreement as of March 31, 2008 total 420,000 NIS (approximately $118,000).
     Bank Guarantee for Offices Lease
     According to the office lease agreements, TopSpin pledged a bank deposit, which is used as a bank guarantee, amounting to approximately 477,000 NIS (approximately $134,000) as of March 31, 2008 to secure its payments under the lease agreements.
     Motor Vehicles Lease Commitment
     TopSpin Israel leases motor vehicles under operating lease agreements for 36 months. The monthly lease payments are approximately 74,000 NIS (approximately $21,000) as of March 31, 2008. The Company paid the last three months of the lease in advance. Future rental commitments under the existing lease agreement as of March 31, 2008 are 659,000 NIS (approximately $185,000) for the first year, 429,000 NIS (approximately $121,000) for the second year and 373,000 NIS (approximately $105,000) for the third year, for amounts totaling 1,461,000 NIS (approximately $411,000).
