Item 1. Description of Business.
Overview
We were incorporated in Delaware on September 20, 1999. We have conducted all of our business
operations through our wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, TopSpin Medical (Israel) Ltd. (TopSpin
Israel). TopSpin Israel was incorporated on October 5, 1999 to engage in research and development
of MRI technology using miniaturized MRI sensors. Until we suspended our activities due to
financial considerations in October 2008, we were engaged through TopSpin Israel, in the design,
research, development and manufacture of imaging devices that utilize MRI technology by means of
miniature probes for various body organs.
On September 1, 2005, we issued securities to the public in Israel and our shares of common stock
began to trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). In 2007, we registered some of our securities
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Our securities are traded only on the TASE
in NIS. (See PART II, Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters
and Issuer Purchases of Equity SecuritiesMarket for Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters). On February 4, 2010, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) notified the Company that it
failed to satisfy the minimum requirement that issuers whose securities are listed on TASE maintain
a minimum equity value of NIS 2 million (approximately $509,609). Following two extensions, the
Company will need to comply with this minimum required on or before June 18, 2012 in order to
retain its listing on TASE.
In October 2008, we paid NIS 12,513,000 (approximately $3,291,163) as part of a settlement with
holders of our Series A Debentures (see Part II, Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation). In addition, grants due to us for the years 2007
and 2008 from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and
Labor (OCS), an Israeli governmental agency, were not paid. As a result of the combination of the
substantial outlay of cash in connection with the settlement and the lack of cash inflow from the
OCS grants, on October 27, 2008, we decided to terminate the employment of all of TopSpin Israels
employees (excluding the finance department and employees who were pregnant or on maternity leave)
and suspend our operational activities.
In February 2009, we raised an aggregate of NIS 900,000 (approximately $238,410) through the
issuance of shares of our Common Stock to support efforts to continue our activities.
On January 27, 2010, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the Investment Agreement)
with Medgenesis Partners Ltd., a private company organized under the laws of Israel and controlled
by Ascher Shmulewits (Medgenesis and the Stockholder, respectively). Under the terms of the
Investment Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Medgenesis (i) 423,346 shares of Common Stock
of the Company; (ii) a warrant to purchase 245,871
shares of Common Stock; and (iii) a warrant to purchase 116,129 shares of Common Shares, all in
exchange for payment by Medgenesis in the amount of $211,673 and the cancellation of a certain
warrant issued by the Company to the Stockholder pursuant to a certain agreement, dated February 2,
2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2009.

Table of Contents
On February 1, 2010 Medgenesis transferred $53,804 pursuant to the Investment Agreement (Initial
Payment). The Investment Agreement has not been consummated since the Company failed to fulfill a
precondition to the Closing pursuant to the Investment Agreement. The Initial Payment has been
converted into Funds (as defined below) pursuant to the Loan Agreement entered into between the
parties, as further detailed below.
In addition, the Company, Medgenesis and the Stockholder entered into a memorandum of understanding
pursuant to which Medgenesis and the Stockholder will assist the Company to acquire interests in
commercial and/or industrial biotech companies and/or assets. We are currently pursuing acquisition
options.
Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, on April 29, 2010, we entered into a loan agreement
(the Loan Agreement) with Medgenesis, pursuant to which Medgenesis agreed to loan the Company a
total of $353,804 (the Funds), consisting of: (i) $53,804 already paid to the Company on February
1, 2010, pursuant to the Investment Agreement and (ii) an additional $300,000 to be placed in an
escrow account and to be disbursed pursuant to an Escrow Instruction Letter (the Letter), dated
April 29, 2010, between the Company, Medgenesis and the escrow agent. The Loan Agreement and the
Letter provide that the Company may use the Funds for payment of legal fees, including fees
associated with retaining its current counsel for bankruptcy counseling advice, and for the payment
of all other outstanding obligations as may be required by the Plan (as defined below). The Loan
Agreement also provides for the termination of the Investment Agreement and all obligations of the
parties there-under.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company filed a petition seeking relief under Chapter 11 of
Title 11 of the United States Code, pursuant to which the Company applied to the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court) to authorize the approval of
transactions and all other actions required according to a plan to be prepared by the Company and
approved by Medgenesis in writing prior to any filing (the Plan). Further, the Company covenanted
not to engage in certain conduct while Funds loaned under the Loan Agreement are outstanding,
including (i) hiring employees; (ii) applying for any credit or loan from a banking institution;
(iii) amending any of the Companys organizational documents; and (iv) acting in any manner that
would result in a material adverse effect on the Company or in non-compliance with the Plan.
On June 28, 2010 the Company received a letter from Medgenesis requesting full repayment of the
loan because, at that time, the Company had not yet filed its Chapter 11 petition pursuant to the
Loan Agreement. On June 29, 2010, Medgenesis withdrew the remaining amount from the escrow
account. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding loan balance, including unpaid interest at a rate
of 4.0%, was $427,695.
On July 12, 2010, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Company filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code with the Bankruptcy Court (Case No.
10-12213 (CSS)). As part of the Plan that the Company submitted to the Bankruptcy Court, the
Company requested that the Bankruptcy Court approve an increase in its registered capital, a
reverse split of the Companys reorganized Common Stock (as further detailed below) and the
conversion of the outstanding Funds into Companys shares of Common Stock (all under terms that
have not yet been authorized by the Companys shareholders).
On September 26, 2010, the Company and Medgenesis signed another loan agreement totaling up to
$200,000. The purpose of the loan is to cover the Companys then current expenses, complete the
Chapter 11 proceeding and settle some of the unsecured creditors claims based on the settlement
approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the relevant regulatory entities. The loan agreement was
contingent on the Bankruptcy Courts approval of the Chapter 11 proceeding in Delaware (the Second
Loan). As of December 30, 2010, the Company borrowed approximately NIS 485,613 (approximately
$136,831) under the Second Loan.
On October 22, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Granting Motion Of Debtor And
Debtor-In-Possession For Authority To Incur Unsecured Debt Under Loan Agreement And For Approval Of
Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company to incur up to an
additional $200,000.00 under the Second Loan.
On December 13, 2010 the Plan was approved by the general meeting of the equity interest holders of
the Company, and on December 21, 2010 the Plan was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. In accordance
with the provisions of the Plan, the consolidation of the capital of the Company was approved, in
such way that each 500 shares par value US$0.001 US$ each shall be consolidated into 1 share par
value US$0.001 US$ each, and each warrant exercisable into 1 share par value US$0.001 each, shall
be exercisable into 0.0002 shares par value US$0.001 each, with the exercise price remaining the
same. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was amended, in such way
that the authorized share capital of the Company was increased to a total of 50,000,000 shares par
value US$0.001 each. The aforesaid amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company and the authorized capital of the Company were executed on February
13, 2011. In the course of the Plan, on February 13, 2011 the Company has allocated 10,122,463
shares to a Medgenesis as a repayment of a debt of US$484,000 of the Company to Medgenesis.
We have not generated any revenues to date and have not achieved profitable operations or positive
cash flows from operations. We have an accumulated deficit of NIS 184,432,000 (approximately
$51,967,315) as of December 31, 2010, and have incurred a net loss of NIS 2,315,000 (approximately
$620,145) and negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of NIS 2,570,000
(approximately $688,454) for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Expenditures on Research and Development
From the time of our inception in 1999 through December 31, 2010, we invested a total of NIS
135,023,000 (approximately $35,513,677) in gross research and development expenses. We funded our
research and development expenses from our own resources and from the OCS. Due to the suspension of
our operations in October 2008, we have not engaged in any research and development activities in
2010.
Intellectual Property
As of December 31, 2010, TopSpin Israel owned one registered patent in the United States. TopSpin
Israel holds the exclusive rights to U.S. Patent No. 6,704,594 entitled Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Device, issued March 9, 2004 concerning the basic technology for local MRI imaging from a miniature
imaging probe that expires on September 9, 2011.
TopSpin Israel also registered Israel patent No. 149945 which concerns our basic technology for
local MRI imaging from a miniature probe; this patent was abandoned on November 24, 2010.
On January 24, 2010, we decided to discontinue the maintenance and development of our intellectual
property due to managements assessment that the Company will not be able to complete the
development of our intellectual property or sell products based on such intellectual property.
Employees
Due to financial difficulties, as of December 31, 2010, we had only one full-time employee, Mr.
Eitan Shtarkman, serving as the Companys CEO. We do not have any other employees. The Company is
also receiving services from CFO Direct Ltd., a company providing financial services through Mr.
Uri Ben-Or, CPA serving as the Companys CFO.
Our employee is not represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any
work stoppages. We believe that our relations with our remaining employee are good. As of December
31, 2010, we have not adopted a code of ethics but intend to do so if and when we restart our
suspended activities or enter into new business activities.
Availability of SEC Reports
We file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K
and other information with the SEC. Members of the public may read and copy materials that we file
with the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.
Members of the public may also obtain information in the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC
at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet web site that contains reports, proxy and
information statements and other information regarding issuers, including TopSpin, that file
electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.
We are not required to deliver an annual report to our shareholders; electronic copies of such

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
From
January 2010 to May 2010, we leased offices located at
Rothschild 65, Tel Aviv, Israel for a monthly rent payment of NIS 4,200
(approximately $1,125). In May 2010, the lease expired and the Company vacated the premises and sold
certain technological and office equipment and supplies.
On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Tapuz Clothing Industry Ltd (Tapuz),
a company affiliated with Mr. Zvi Linkovsky, one our directors, pursuant to which Tapuz provides us
with office space and services for a monthly payment of NIS 2,000 (approximately $536). The
agreement with Tapuz is on a month-to-month basis. Both parties may terminate the agreement upon 15
days notice. We believe that this arrangement is sufficient to meet our current needs. However, in
the long-term, we will reevaluate the need for additional facilities based on our growth and future
needs with respect to management, administration, marketing and manufacturing requirements.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, as detailed in Item 1
above. Except for the Chapter 11 proceedings, as of December 31, 2010, we were not a party to any
material legal proceeding.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and Notes and the other financial information
included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking
statements based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, such as
our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results and the timing of events may
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors.
Overview
Until suspension of our business activities due to financial considerations in October 2008, we,
through our subsidiary, TopSpin Israel, were engaged in the design, research, development and
manufacturing of imaging devices that utilize MRI technology by means of miniature probes that
image various body organs. Until 2008, our main product was an intravascular MRI, or IVMRI,
catheter system for imaging and characterizing the tissue composition of coronary plaque during a
conventional cardiac catheterization procedure.
As previously disclosed in current reports on Form 8-K filed on September 25, 2008, September 29,
2008 and October 16, 2008, we executed a supplemental indenture with Wilmington Trust Company (in
its capacity as Trustee for our Series A Debentures) and the Ziv Haft Trust Company Ltd. (in its
capacity as Co-Trustee of our Series A Debentures) which supplemented the original indenture
governing the Series A Debentures and provided for the conversion of each NIS 1.00 of principal
amount of Series A Debentures held by eligible bondholders into nine (9) shares of our common stock
and NIS 0.25 in cash.
As contemplated by the supplemental indenture and the settlement agreement, dated July 13, 2008,
between the Company and the Co-Trustee, on October 12, 2008, all of the outstanding NIS 50,000,000
of the Series A Debentures were converted into 450,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. Upon the
completion of this conversion, all of our outstanding Series A Debentures were removed from trading
on the TASE. We issued the cash payment contemplated by the settlement agreement on October 26,
2008 in the amount of NIS 12,513,000 (approximately $3,291,162).

Table of Contents
This payment significantly reduced our cash resources, and, together with the discontinuation of
grants from OCS,
materially and adversely affected our business and the cash we have available to maintain research
and development, marketing, and other activities conducted in the ordinary course of our business.
Our reduced cash position caused us to suspend our activities as of October 27, 2008. We were
forced to terminate all of our employees except three employees in our finance department and three
employees who were on maternity leave at the time (each of whose employment was terminated prior to
March 31, 2009), and we incurred termination fees in connection with the early termination of our
property and motor vehicle lease. As of December 31, 2010, we employed only one full-time
employeeour CEOand our financial function is currently satisfied by third-party provider.
Critical Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), applied on a consistent basis, as follows:
Financial statements in NIS: A majority of the Companys costs and expenses are incurred in New
Israeli Shekels, or NIS. In addition, the Company finances its operations from mainly NIS
denominated resources, mainly from equity raisings. The Companys management believes that the NIS
is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the
functional currency of the Company is the NIS. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in
currencies other than the NIS are re-measured into NIS in accordance with ASC 830 (formerly SFAS
No. 52), Foreign Currency Matters.
All transaction gains and losses of re-measured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the
statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate. Substantially all the
operations and assets of the Company are conducted in NIS in Israel and it has no assets and
operations in the US. The Companys equity securities are traded in Israel in NIS. As such the
Companys management believes that the functional and reporting currency is NIS.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
subsidiary over which the Company exercises control. Significant inter-company balances and
transactions between the two companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.
Results of Operations
Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2010
Revenue We did not have any revenues in 2010 or 2009.
Research and Development We had no research and development expenses in 2010 or 2009 due to

operations in October 2008.

General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional
fees, rent, office maintenance, payroll related expenses and directors fees. General and
administrative expenses increased by approximately 30% to NIS 2,512,000 (approximately $672,917) in
2010 from NIS 1,930,000 (approximately $490,769) in 2009. This increase was the result of
reorganization of the Company in connection with our bankruptcy proceedings.
Financial Income, Net In 2010, our financial income decreased by 22% to NIS 197,000
(approximately $52,773) as compared to financial income of NIS 254,000 (approximately $64,588) in
2009. This decrease is attributable primarily to the interest expenses from related party loan and
foreign currency translation adjustments.
Taxes on income Since its formation, the Company has had no income from operations and has no
deferred tax liabilities. As a result of the settlement with our bondholders in 2008, we recorded a
reserve in the amount of NIS 1,344,000 (approximately $374,603) for possible tax payments.
Net Loss Our net loss for 2010 was NIS 2,315,000 (approximately $620,145) compared to a net loss
of NIS 1,676,000 (approximately $426,181) in 2009, an increase of approximately 40% which is
attributable to a reorganization of the company in connection with out bankruptcy proceedings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not had any revenues from operations since our inception in September 1999. We 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.
In February 2009, we raised net proceeds of NIS 900,000 (approximately $236,717) through the sale
of 240,000 shares of our common shares of $0.001 par value and 58,064,516 warrants exercisable into
116,129 common. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share for the exercise price of NIS
0.01 for a period of 4 years following the issuance date.
As of December 31, 2010, our assets were approximately NIS 82,000 (approximately $23,105), of which
cash and cash equivalents were approximately NIS 33,000 (approximately $9,298). As of December 31,
2010, our liabilities were approximately NIS 1,975,000 (approximately $529,065).
We believe that our cash resources are insufficient for our operations at current levels for the
next twelve months. We are contemplating and pursuing possibilities for new business activities for
the Company and new avenues for raising capital.
We may not be able to raise additional funds required to resume our regular business operations or
to engage in new fields of business that we may decide to pursue. The global stock and credit
markets are experiencing significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions,
which have caused market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on
prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted
liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in
certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of financing. Continued
uncertainty in the stock and credit markets may negatively affect our ability to raise necessary
additional funds

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
TOPSPIN MEDICAL, INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Topspin Medical, Inc. (the
Company) and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in shareholders deficiency and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included considerations of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of
December 31, 2009 and 2010 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1b and 1c in the last
quarter of 2009, the Company terminated the employment of most of its employees and suspended its
operational activities. On July 7, 2010 the Companys board of directors unanimously approved the
filing of chapter 11 (see note 1d). The Company has incurred losses in the amount of NIS 2,315
thousand during the year ended December 31, 2010 and has an accumulated deficit in the amount of
NIS 184,432 thousand as of that date. These factors, among other factors described in that Note,
raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts and classification of
assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue to operate as a
going concern.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. | TopSpin Medical, Inc. (the Company) and its subsidiary, TopSpin
Medical (Israel) Ltd. (the subsidiary) (collectively the Group) were engaged in
research and development of a medical MRI technology. |
||
In October 2008, the Company suspended its activities as described below. |
|||
The Company was incorporated and commenced operation in September 1999 as a
private company registered in Delaware, U.S. 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 Companys shares are
traded only in Israel in NIS. |
|||
In October 2008, the Company terminated the employment of all of its subsidiarys
employees (excluding two employees from the finance department) and suspended its
operational activities. |
|||
On January 24, 2010, the Company decided to discontinue the development of its
intellectual property due to managements assessment from December 2009 that the
Company will not be able to finalize the development of its intellectual property
or sell products based on such intellectual property. |
|||
b. | Since the suspension of the Companys operational activity and as of
the date of the financial statements the Company is not engaged in any operational
activity. Additionally, in January 2010, Companys management decided to suspend
the support in protection of its intellectual property (registered patent and
patent applications). |
||
c. | The Group has not generated any revenues and has not achieved
profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. The Company has an
accumulated deficit of NIS 184,432 as of December 31, 2010, and it incurred a net
loss of NIS 2,315 and negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount
of NIS 2,570 for the year ended December 31, 2010. |
||
There is uncertainty about the Companys ability to generate revenues or raise
sufficient funds in the near term, if any. These factors, among other factors
raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. |

d. | On July 7, 2010 the Companys Board of Directors unanimously approved
the filing of Chapter 11. Subject to the approval of the Companys request the
Company will be able to increase its capital, change its capital structure and
convert the loan from with Medgenesis Partners Ltd. (Medgenesis), a private
company incorporated under the laws of Israel and controlled by Mr. Ascher
Shmuelevich (the Investor and the Shareholder, respectively) (see details on
the loan in note 14b). The request was filed in Delaware on July 12, 2010. |
||
As part of the restructuring plan, the Company requested the Bankruptcy Court to
approve an increase in its registered capital, approve a reverse split of the
Companys reorganized Common Stock and approve converting the Medgenesis loan into
Companys common stock (under terms that have not yet been authorized by the
Bankruptcy Court or the Companys shareholders). |
|||
On August 30, 2010, the United Stated Bankruptcy Court District of Delaware
approved the Chapter 11 settlement sought by the Company (the first proposed
settlement). The first proposed settlement consists of capital consolidation at a
ratio of 1:500 without derogating from the rights arising from holding the
Companys shares or stock options. The first proposed settlement also prescribes
that following the capital consolidation, 2,806,524 of the Companys shares will
be allocated to Medgenesis against the waiver of the first loan which as of the
date of the approval of the first proposed settlement amounted to approximately
$284 thousand. According to the first proposed settlement, after said share
allocation, Medgenesis would hold 55.94% of the Companys issued and outstanding
share capital and the Shareholder would hold directly and through Medgenesis 71.7%
of the issued and outstanding share capital. |
|||
On October 4, 2010, the Companys Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved
an amended Chapter 11 settlement (the settlement) according to which: |
1. | A capital consolidation at a ratio of 1:500 will be carried
out in the context of the consolidation. |
||
2. | The conversion of loans totaling $484 thousand which were
extended and/or will be extended to the Company by Medgenesis into 10,122,463
Companys shares. |
According to the settlement, after the share allocation, Medgenesis would hold
86.92% of the Companys issued and outstanding share capital and the Shareholder
would hold directly and through Medgenesis 88.68% of the issued and outstanding
share capital. |

On December 13, 2010 the settlement was approved by the Companys general
shareholders meeting. Accordingly, the capital consolidation was approved and the
shares allocation was performed as described above. See more information on note
10b6. On December 21, 2010 the court approved the settlement. As of December 31,
2010 the shares were not issued to the Shareholder and Medgenesis. |
|||
e. | On March 18, 2010, due to lack of resources, the Companys Board of
Directors terminated the employment of the Companys remaining finance department
employees. |
||
On April 28, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors rescinded the termination of
one finance employee of the Company and appointed her as controller and secretary
of the Company. On September 12, 2010, the Companys controller ceased her
employment with the Company. On September 20, 2010, an outsourcing company
provided financial services to the Company including a chief financial officer
services. |
|||
f. | The Companys management is currently operating to raise the necessary
funds for the operation of the company and for finding operational activity for the
Company in the field of life science or other fields. |
||
g. | On February 4, 2010, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) notified the
Company that it does not comply with the maintenance regulations since the
Companys equity is lower than NIS 2,000 in the last four reporting quarters. The
Company was given an extension until June 30, 2010 to increase its equity. |
||
On July 18, the Company received notification from TASE that w the Companys
shares will be transfer to the maintenance list beginning July 19, 2010. The
Company was given an extension until July 18, 2012 to increase its equity,
otherwise, its shares will be eliminated from trading commencing July 20, 2012. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NIS in thousands, except share and per share data
NIS in thousands, except share and per share data
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), applied on a
consistent basis, as follows: |
a. | Financial statements in NIS: |
||
A majority portion of the Companys costs and expenses are incurred in New Israeli
Shekels (NIS). In addition, the Company finances its operations from mainly NIS
denominated resources, mainly from equity raisings. |
|||
The Companys management believes that the NIS is the primary currency of the
economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional currency
of the Company is the NIS. |
|||
Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the NIS are
re-measured into NIS in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. All transaction gains and losses of the re-measured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate. |
|||
Substantially all the operations and assets of the Company are conducted in NIS in
Israel and it has no assets and operations in the US. The Companys stocks are
traded in Israel in NIS. As such the Companys management believes that the
functional and reporting currency is NIS. |
|||
b. | Use of estimates: |
||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. |
|||
c. | Principles of consolidation: |
||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the subsidiary over
which the Company exercises control. Significant inter-company balances and
transactions between the two companies have been eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements. |

d. | Cash equivalents: |
||
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less at the date of
acquisition. |
|||
e. | Property and equipment: |
||
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets at the following annual rates: |
% | ||
Computers and software |
33 | |
Office furniture and equipment |
7 15 |
f. | Impairment of long-lived assets: |
||
The Companys long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC
360, Property, Plant and Equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment
to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds its fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2010, no impairment
losses on its property and equipment were recorded. |
|||
g. | Severance pay: |
||
The Companys liability for severance pay to the Israeli employees of the
subsidiary is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most
recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment, as
of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one months salary for each
year of employment or a portion thereof. The Companys liability for all of its
employees is partially provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies. The
value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Companys balance sheet.
The deposited funds include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The
deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation
pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements. The value of the
deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and
includes immaterial profits. |

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Commencing 2009, the Company has defined deposited funds for all of its employees,
pursuant to section 14 to the Severance Pay Law, under which, the Company pays
fixed contributions and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay
further contributions upon termination of employees. As of December 31, 2010 the
Company terminated the employment of all its employees. |
|||
Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 amounted to
approximately NIS 54 and NIS 16, respectively. |
|||
h. | Stock-based compensation: |
||
ASC 718 requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock
based awards. The Company has elected to use the binomial pricing model to
determine the fair value of stock based awards on the dates of grant. |
|||
The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the stock
options granted during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010: |
|||
The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its options based on
the accelerated method over the requisite service period of the options. |

NIS in thousands, except share and per share data
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Binomial
model with the following assumptions: |
Binomial model | 2009 | |
Dividend yield |
0% | |
Expected volatility |
113%-136.4% | |
Risk-free interest rate |
4.5% | |
Suboptimal exercise factor |
3.09 for employees, | |
3.56 for officers |
Risk-free interest rates are based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon
bonds with a term equivalent to the contractual life of the options; Expected
volatilities are based on historical volatilities from traded stock of the Company
and of similar companies. The Company uses historical data to estimate option
exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of
employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately
for valuation purposes. |
|||
The suboptimal exercise factor represents the value of the underlying stock as a
multiple of the exercise price of the option which, if achieved, results in
exercise of the option. |
|||
The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to
declare dividends. |
|||
The Company applies ASC 718 and ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payment to
Non-employees, with respect to options issued to non-employees. ASC 718 requires
the use of option valuation models to measure the fair value of the options and
warrants. The Company uses the Binomial model to measure the fair value of options
granted to non-employees. In 2010, no options were granted to non-employees. |
|||
i. | Fair value of financial instruments: |
||
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash
equivalents, other receivables and prepaid expenses, trade payables and other
payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such
instruments. |

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
j. | Basic and diluted net loss per share: |
||
Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
Common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share is computed
based on the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding during each
period, plus dilutive potential Common shares considered outstanding during the
year in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. All outstanding stock
options have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per Common
share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for each of the periods
presented. |
|||
k. | Concentration of credit risks: |
||
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and other
receivables. The Groups cash and cash equivalents are invested in NIS and U.S.
dollar instruments of major banks in Israel and in the United States. Management
believes that the financial institutions that hold the Companys investments are
financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to
these investments. The Company and its subsidiary have no significant off-balance
sheet concentration of financial instruments subject to credit risk such as
foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements. |
|||
l. | Income taxes: |
||
The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (, Income Taxes.
This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method, whereby deferred tax
assets and liability account balances are calculated for temporary differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net
operating loss carryforward. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. |
|||
The Company and its subsidiary provide a valuation allowance if necessary, to
reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. |
|||
As for tax uncertainties, the Statement establishes a single model to address
accounting for uncertain tax positions. The Statement clarified the accounting for
income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is
required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The
Statement also provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company elected to classify interest expenses and penalties recognized in the
financial statements as income taxes. For the years 2009 and 2010, no penalties
were recognized. |

m. | Impact of recently issued Accounting Standards: |
||
Adoption of New Accounting Standards during the period: |
|||
ASU 2010-06 In January 2010, the FASB updated the Fair Value Measurements
Disclosures codified in ASC 820. More specifically, this update require (a) an
entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of
Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the
transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements
to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than
net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This update clarifies existing disclosure
requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value, and requires disclosures about the valuation
techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and
nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. As
applicable to the Company, this update became effective as of the first quarter
ended December 31, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll
forward information, which is required for annual reporting of December 31, 2010.
The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements. |

NOTE 8:- CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, COMMITMENTS AND CHARGES
Commitments to pay royalties to the Chief Scientist:
The Companys subsidiary participated in program sponsored by the Israeli Government for
the support of research and development activities. The Company is obligated to pay
royalties to the Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS), amounting to 3%-3.5% of the
sales of the products and other related revenues generated from such projects, up to
100% of the grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar and bearing interest at the rate
of LIBOR. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the
products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had not paid or accrued royalties to the OCS and
its outstanding contingent obligation for royalties amounted to approximately NIS 17,985
plus interest.
NOTE 9:- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS
a. | On November 21, 2006, the Company issued in a private placement NIS
50,000,000 par value of bonds (series A) (the bonds (series A) or the
convertible debentures) and 25,000,000 warrants (series 2) (the warrants or the
warrants (series 2)) such that each issuance of two bonds (series A) entitled the
holder of bonds (series A) to receive from the Company, at no consideration, one
warrant (series 2). |
||
The warrants (series 2) are convertible into 50,000 Common shares of the Company,
par value $0.001, such that each warrant is exercisable into one Common share of
the Company in consideration of NIS 0.84 linked to the Israeli Consumer Price
Index. |
|||
The bonds (series A) were offered at a purchase price equaling 95% of their par
value and for total consideration of NIS 47,500 and issuance costs of
approximately NIS 5,000. The warrants (series 2) were offered at no consideration.

b. | On September 11, 2007, a registration statement pursuant to the United
States Securities Act of 1933 (the registration statement) with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the registration of the bonds
(series A), warrants (series 2) and the shares underlying the conversion of the
bonds (series A) and the exercise of the warrants (series 2) became effective. |
||
c. | On September 17, 2007, the bonds (series A) and the warrants (series 2)
and the shares underlying the conversion of the bonds (series A) and the exercise
of the warrants (series 2) were listed for trade on the TASE. |
||
d. | On July 13, 2008, the Company and Ziv Haft Trust Company, the
Co-Trustee acting on behalf of the holders of the Series A Convertible Bonds (the
Co-Trustee, the Bondholders and the Series A Bonds, respectively), executed a
settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement). Pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, and subject to its terms and the approval of an Israeli court (the
Israeli Court), the Indenture will be amended such that in consideration of each
NIS 1 par value of the Series A Bonds, each Bondholder will be entitled to receive
9 shares of Common stock of the Company and the sum of NIS 0.25 in cash. Pursuant
to this arrangement, the Bondholders will be paid an aggregate amount of NIS 12,500
in cash, and will be issued Common stock such that following the execution of the
arrangement, the Bondholders will hold 71% of the issued and outstanding capital of
the Company. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company deposited within 3
days following the execution of the Settlement Agreement NIS 12,500 in an account
on behalf of the Co-Trustee. |
||
By September 25, 2008, the above mentioned amounts were deposited and all of the
conditions for amending the Indenture were satisfied. |
|||
e. | On October 12, 2008, following the settlement, the bonds were converted
into 900,000 shares of Common stock (see also Note 10b2). On October 26, 2008, the
amount was paid in such a manner that each bond was exercisable into one share of
Common stock of the Company, in consideration for a cash payment of NIS 0.0.250263. |
||
f. | According to ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments
(formerly: EITF 96-19 and EITF 06-6), the Company determined that the terms of the
convertible debentures do not constitute a substantial change compared to the
original terms. Consequently, a new effective interest rate was determined based on
the carrying amount of the original debt instrument, adjusted for an increase in
the fair value of an embedded conversion option (calculated as the difference
between the fair value of the embedded conversion option immediately before and
after the modification or exchange) resulting from the modification, and the
revised cash flows. |

|||
On April 28, 2010, the investment agreement described above was cancelled

under the 2001 and 2003 Share Option Plans. As of December 31, 2010, there are
24,832,438 options available for future grant. Any options, which are canceled or
forfeited before the expiration date, become available for future grants. |
||
b. | On February 26, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an increase of an
additional 25,000,000 shares of Common stock to be granted under the 2003 Israeli
Share Option Plan. On January 24, 2010, the Board of Directors cancelled this
decision. |
||
c. | On December 30, 2008, the Board of Directors approved agreements with
the former CEO, Yaron Tal, and the former CFO, Eyal Kolka, which include
a modification to their option terms. According to the agreements: |
1. | The exercise price of the 2,500,000 vested options out of
all the options granted to Yaron Tal was reduced to $0.001 and will be
exercisable until December 30, 2010. All the unvested options were canceled.
The compensation resulting from the modification amounted to approximately
NIS 17. |
||
2. | The exercise price of the 2,100,000 options from the 2003
Option Plan granted to Eyal Kolka was reduced to $0.001, 862,500 out of the
2,100,000 options which were unvested will become immediately vested and all
of the aforementioned options will be exercisable until November 30, 2010.
The compensation resulting from the modification amounted to approximately
NIS 14. |
Both Yaron Tal and Eyal Kolka exercised their above mentioned options during 2009.
According to ASC 718, modifications of the expiration date and reduction in the
exercise price of the options are treated as an exchange of the original award,
resulting in additional compensation expenses based on the differences between the
fair value of the new award and the original award immediately before
modification. Compensation expenses were recognized immediately as the modified
options were fully vested. As a result of the modification, the Company recorded
additional compensation expenses in the amount of approximately NIS 31 in 2008,
using the Binomial model.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the tables above represents the total intrinsic
value (the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last
trading day of December 2010 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of
in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all
option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2010. This amount changes
based on the fair market value of the Companys stock.
As of December 31, 2010, there was NIS 62 of total unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees
under the Companys stock option plans. That cost is expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 3 years.
On December 10, 2009 two of the Companys directors resigned. As a result
9,500,000 of their unvested options were forfeited. On March 10, 2010 the
remaining 9,500,000 of the directors vested options became forfeited.

which prescribes, among other things, an additional gradual reduction in
Israeli corporate tax rate starting from 2011 to the following tax rates:
2011 24%, 2012 23%, 2013 22%, 2014 21%, 2015 20%, 2016 and
thereafter 18%. |
|||
The Company estimates that the Economic Efficiency Law is not expected to
affect the Companys consolidated financial statements. |
|||
2. | The Company: |
||
The tax rates applicable to the Company whose place of incorporation is the
U.S. are corporate (progressive) tax at the rate of up to 35%, including
State tax and Local tax which rates are dependent on the country and city in
which the Company will conduct its business. |
|||
According to the tax laws applicable to Israeli residents, dividend received
from a foreign resident company is subject to tax in Israel at the rate of
25% by its recipient. According to the tax laws applicable in the U.S., tax
at the rate of 30% is withheld and, based on the treaty for the avoidance of
double taxation of Israel and the U.S., it may be reduced to either 25% or
12.5% (dependent on the identity of the shareholder). To enjoy the benefits
of the tax treaty, certain procedural requirements need to be satisfied. |
d. | Carryforward losses for tax purposes: |
||
In the year ended December 31, 2010, the main reconciling items from the statutory
tax rate of the Company (25%) to the effective tax rate (0%) are carryforward tax
losses for which a full valuation allowance was provided. |
|||
Carryforward tax losses of the Company amount to approximately NIS 42,000 as of
December 31, 2010. According to the tax laws in the U.S., these losses may be
gradually carried forward until 2025. Carryforward tax losses of the subsidiary in
Israel, which may be carried forward for an indefinite period, total approximately
NIS 134,000 as of December 31, 2010. Deferred tax assets relating to these
carryforward losses were not recorded due to the uncertainty of their utilization
and as a result, the Company provided a valuation allowance on the total amount of
the deferred assets. |

e. | Deferred tax assets: |
||
Significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets are as follows: |
December 31, 2010 | ||||
Tax assets with respect to tax loss carryforwards |
38,820 | |||
Less valuation allowance |
(38,820 | ) | ||
Net deferred tax assets |
| |||
Realization of deferred tax assets is depended on generating sufficient taxable
income in the period that the deferred tax assets are realized. Based upon all
available information and because of the Companys lack of earnings history,
deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. |
|||
The Company has not been assessed for tax purposes since
incorporation. |
|||
f. | Tax provision: |
||
In 2008, as a result of the Settlement Agreement (see Note 9d), the Company
recorded taxable income. The Company believes it has reasonable arguments to
enable it to offset the taxable income against taxable losses from other sources.
Due to uncertainties with respect to this matter and in accordance with ASC 740,
Income Taxes, the Company has provided NIS 1,254 (2009 NIS 1,344) for the
potential tax exposure. The subsidiary filed its tax return in the U.S. during
2009. |

Director and Officer Indemnification
In January 2004 and August 2005, we undertook to indemnify our officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law for any liabilities that they may incur for any action
taken as an officer or director or in any other joint venture, partnership or enterprise. The
indemnification includes any monetary liability imposed on the officer or director because of a
verdict, fine, penalty, settlement agreement or any other reasonable amount expense accrued by the
office or director in connection with any threat, activity, pending procedure, claim or civil,
criminal or administrative proceeding or investigation, including any activity by or on behalf of
us in which the officer or director is an interested party or is liable to an interested party, or
where the officer or director has been threatened that he will become an interested party due to
his being an officer of director. We will compensate an officer or director in advance for any
reasonable amount that he has paid for any claim against him (including litigation costs and the
costs of preparing an adequate defense) after the director or officer agrees that he will bear the
detailed costs himself if it is found that the officer or director is not entitled to receive
compensation under the agreement or our Certificate of Incorporation. The conclusion of any
proceeding with a judgment, order,
settlement agreement, indictment or similar conclusion against a director or officer will not give
rise to the assumption that the officer or director acted in a manner other than in our best
interests or, in respect to a criminal charge, had no reasonable grounds for assuming that his
actions were illegal.
47
Table of Contents
In a number of circumstances, an officer or director will not be entitled to indemnification or
advance reimbursement for expenditures if: (1) a competent court of law has made a final verdict or
order that a claim or claims against an officer or director arose out of deception or bad faith or
that the officer or director was misled or, that the indemnification is not permitted under
prevailing law; (2) the verdict or order by the court stemmed from a claim regarding infringement
of the Exchange Act, or other federal or state laws; (3) an act or omission occurred for which the
officer or director is not entitled to receive compensation under Delaware law; (4) the proceedings
or claims were initiated by the officer or director that were not in self-defense other than
proceedings brought to pay compensation or where our Board of Directors has approved of the
proceedings and the decision to file them; (5) expenditures or obligations of any kind were paid
directly to the officer or director by the insurance company under the directors and officers
liability policy; or (6) the claim relates to abuse of information that is not available to the
public by the officer or director in all matters pertaining to the purchase and/or sale of our
Common Stock. We will not be obligated to compensate an officer or director for every amount paid
in the framework of a settlement agreement that was drawn up by the officer or director without our
written consent. We will not sign any settlement agreement that would affect any proceedings
against an officer or director without his written consent.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we maintained directors and officers liability
insurance for the purpose of paying these types of claims in an amount of up to $3,000,000 per
event for a year. We may decide to cancel our indemnification agreements with our officers and
directors, but we will still be obligated to compensate an officer or director for any claims
resulting from actions prior to the cancellation of the indemnification agreement. Currently, we
have indemnification agreements with all present or past officers and directors of both us and our
subsidiaries.
TopSpin Medical, Inc. 2001 Israeli Stock Option Plan
In accordance with resolutions adopted by our board of directors in February 2000, we adopted an
option plan in 2001 for the allocation of up to 300,000 shares of our Common Stock to our
directors, employees and consultants and the directors, employees and consultants of our
subsidiaries. Options granted under this plan can be exercised into shares of our Common Stock at
either $2.00 or $12.00. As of December 31, 2010, 280,910 options have been issued to employees,
directors and consultants. 280,910 options have expired and are no longer exercisable. Our Board of
Directors has resolved not to issue any additional options under this plan. The options under the
2001 Israeli Stock Option Plan are not registered for trading on TASE, but however, have been
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Form S-8 registration statement that we filed
with the SEC on October 15, 2007.
TopSpin Medical, Inc. 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan
General Provisions
Our Board of Directors passed resolutions in January 2003, September 2003, August 2005 and
September 2007, under which it adopted the 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan to allocate up to
37,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to our directors, employees and consultants and the
directors, employees and consultants of our subsidiaries. The plan is administered by the Board of
Directors and any committee that the Board of Directors may appoint for such purpose. The appointed
committee may grant four types of options under this plan: Approved 102 Capital Gains Options,
which are granted only to employees of our subsidiaries and qualify for capital gains tax
treatments, Approved 102 Ordinary Income Options, which qualify for ordinary income tax treatment,
Unapproved 102 Options, and 3(9) Options, which are non-qualified stock options which are granted
mostly to non-employees of our subsidiaries. The number of shares authorized to be issued under
this plan will be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, combination or
reclassification of the stock or the payment of a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock
or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration.
The existing outstanding options as of December 31, 2010 are exercisable at prices between $0.001
and $0.1886, depending on the individual grant. Unless stated otherwise in the individual grant,
most grants of options vest and become exercisable according to the following schedule: 25% on the
first anniversary of the option grant, and 6.25% at the end of each subsequent quarter over the
course of the following three years. The committee, though, may, in its absolute discretion and on
such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, accelerate or otherwise change the time at which
such option or any portion of an option will vest. The option grant may also contain performance
goals and measures and the provisions in one option grant need not be identical to any other option
grant. All options will expire ten years from the date of grant unless terminated earlier. If an
individual option grant expires and has not been exercised, our Board of Directors has the
authority to allocate those options to other employees, directors or consultants.
An option may not be exercised unless the grantee is then employed by us or providing services to
us or our affiliate. Following the termination of a grantees position with us or a subsidiary,
other than for cause, death, disability or retirement, the grantee may still exercise his or her
vested options for ninety days following the date of termination. If a grantee dies or is disabled
during his or her employment or service, then his or her heirs will be entitled to exercise the
options for twelve months after the grantees death or disability. Also, if the grantee terminates
his or her employment on account of retirement, he or she will have twelve months to exercise
his or her options.

Termination of an Option
Subject to the Board of Directors approval, the committee administering this option plan may, from
time to time, cancel all or any portion of an option granted under the plan and our obligation will
be discharged with respect to that option through either (i) payment to the grantee of an amount in
cash equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the cancelled option at the date of
such cancellation over the aggregate exercise price of the option, (ii) the issuance or transfer to
the grantee of Common Stock with a fair market value at the date of such transfer equal to any such
excess, or (iii) a combination of cash and shares with a combined value equal to any such excess,
as determined by the committee, in its sole discretion.
Also, in the event of our voluntary liquidation, merger, acquisition, or reorganization, we must
notify the grantees at least fifteen days prior to the transaction. All options will then expire
prior to the consummation of the transaction if they are not exercised by the notified grantees. In
the event of a merger with another company, however, our Board of Directors is entitled to exchange
the options for the securities of the surviving corporation or to pay the fair market value of the
options to the grantees.
Outstanding Grants
As of December 31, 2010, we have issued 67,392,125 options under the 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan
with 232,813 options outstanding. During 2010, 11,000,000 options have expired and are no longer
outstanding. As permitted under the plan, we have, from time to time, reissued these expired
options in subsequent option grants as permitted by the plan. The options under the 2003 Israeli
Stock Option Plan are not registered for trading on TASE, but however, have been registered under
the Securities Act pursuant to a Form S-8 registration statement that we filed with the SEC on
October 15, 2007.
