NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

General:

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd. (“Hadasit”) (the “First Agreement”) to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, see also note 2a.

On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware.

In February 2013, the Company's common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ORMP.

On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd., which is engaged in research and development. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Group” refers to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its Israeli subsidiary, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), (together with the Company, "the Group").

The Group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field and is considered a development stage company in accordance with the ASC Topic 915 "Development Stage Entities" due to the fact that it has not generated any revenues from its operations.

Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA prior to selling its products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals must be obtained to sell its products internationally. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company’s ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities.

Based on its current cash resources and commitments, and cash received in private offerings in the year ended August 31, 2012 and the six month period ended February 28, 2013 (see note 4b), the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in general and administrative expenses or research and development expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months.

Newly issued and recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an update to ASC No. 220, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The Company can elect to present the items of net income and other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Under either method the statement would need to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. The amended guidance, which must be applied retroactively, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued another update on the topic, which deferred the effective date pertaining only to the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted the pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires presentation, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income, but only if the amounts reclassified are required to be reclassified in their entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about these amounts. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2013-02 is effective for us on August, 31, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-02 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statement presentation.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements are not audited but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2012 Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2012. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year’s results.

On February 15, 2012, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with a third party for a period of one year, pursuant to which such third party will provide investors relations services and will be entitled to a share based compensation as follows: 25,000 shares of common stock of the Company will be issued in six installments over the engagement period, commencing February 15, 2012, and a warrant to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.

On February 28, 2013, the Subsidiary had not yet realized any revenues from the said project and did not incur any royalty liability. The total amount that was actually received through February 28, 2013 was $1,332,374.

For the six months period ended February 28, 2013, the research and development expenses are presented net of OCS and Bio-Jerusalem fund Grants, in the total amount of $22,378.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE:

Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

As of February 28, 2013 the assets or liabilities measured at fair value are comprised of available for sale securities (level 1 and level 3).

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.

Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income in equity until realized. Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are charged to statement of comprehensive loss as an impairment charge and are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under impairment of available-for-sale securities.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE (continued):

The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including the duration and extent to which fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment. Realized gains and losses on sales of the securities are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as financial income or expenses.

Marketable securities consist wholly of equity securities of D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd. ("D.N.A"), which were received in March 2011 as part of the consideration for selling the Company's equity method investee Entera, and in October 2012, as an option to purchase ordinary shares of D.N.A with no additional costs in exchange for the Company's common stock (the "D.N.A Option"). The D.N.A Option was exercised by the Company in February 2013. Those securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value.

The shares received on March 2011 are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") and have a quoted price. The fair value of those securities is measured at the quoted prices of the securities in an active market on the measurement date.

The D.N.A shares that were received upon realizing the D.N.A Option are restricted for a period of 6 months from realization date according to TASE policy with regards to private placements. The fair value of the D.N.A Option is measured based on the quoted prices of the otherwise identical unrestricted securities, adjusted for the effect of the restriction by applying a proper discount. The discount was determined with reference to other similar restricted instruments, and will be decreased over the restriction period. Similar securities, with no restriction on tradability, are quoted on an active market.

Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are recognized in the beginning of the reporting period.

Financial assets carried at fair value as of February 28, 2013 and August 31, 2012 are classified in the tables below in one of the three categories described above:

NOTE 4 - STOCK HOLDERS’ EQUITY:

In September 2012, the Company issued 5,652 shares of its common stock and 2,826 common stock purchase warrant to an investor, with whom the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreement in August 2012 for the same investment terms as described in note 4b. below.

Between September and November 2012, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with a number of investors for the sale of 329,832 units at a purchase price of $4.44 per unit for total consideration of $1,464,425. Each unit consisted of one share of the Company's common stock and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 0.50 a share of common stock exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The investors were granted customary registration rights with respect to resales of shares, including the shares underlying the warrants. In addition, one of the investors who was previously considered as a leading investor (the "Leading Investor") , who purchased 405,405 of the units, was granted the right to maintain its percentage of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding by purchasing more shares whenever the Company proposes to issue certain additional shares to other investors. Such right only exists so long as such investor holds at least 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. In addition, such investor’s warrants contained anti-dilution protection (the "full ratchet anti-dilution protection") and cashless exercise provisions not contained in the other investors’ warrants. The other terms of the Leading Investor's Securities Purchase Agreement were substantially the same as those granted to him in 2011 for his first investment. See also note 5.

As a finder's fee, in connection with the securities purchase agreements, the Company paid cash consideration of $12,885, as well as issued 1,127 shares of the Company's common stock and 564 common stock purchase warrant for another individual. The Company also issued 12,745 shares of the Company's common stock and 6,373 common stock purchase warrant to a director as a finder's fee with respect to the Securities Purchase Agreements described above and to Securities Purchase Agreements to which the Company had entered into in August 2012.

On October 30, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with D.N.A, according to which, the Company issued on that day to D.N.A 199,172 shares of its common stock, in consideration for the option to purchase up to 21,637,611 ordinary shares of D.N.A, valued at approximately $628,630 at the day of the transaction. The Company exercised the option in February 2013. As described in note 3, the Subsidiary had previously acquired 8,404,667 ordinary shares of D.N.A issued in March 2011. On February 14, 2013 the Subsidiary sold 3,500,000 of the D.N.A shares in a private transaction for a total of NIS 420,000 (or approximately $114,130). As of February 28, 2013 the Group own approximately 12.8% of D.N.A’s outstanding ordinary shares. On March 5, 2013 the Subsidiary sold additional 3,500,000 of the D.N.A shares in a private transaction for a total of NIS 420,000 (or approximately $112,540)

On January 10, 2013, the Company's board of directors approved a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-twelve, effective January 22, 2013, which decreased the number of common shares issued and outstanding as of January 23, 2013, from approximately 86.5 million shares to approximately 7.2 million shares and the number of authorized common shares from 200 million shares to approximately 16.7 million shares. All share and per share amounts included in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split.

NOTE 5 - WARRANTS

As part of the Company's private placements, warrants were granted to the Leading Investor, as defined in note 4b. 182,292 warrants were granted in January 2011 (the "2011 Warrants"), 112,613 were granted in August 2012 and 16,892 were granted in November 2012 (together, the "Three Warrants"). Each warrant was granted for five years at an initial exercise price of $6.00 per share. The warrants included a full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the second year anniversary date after issuing the warrant, subject to certain limitations and while the warrant was outstanding. In the event the Company was to issue or sell any common stock for a consideration per share lower than the exercise price then in effect, or was to issue or sell any options, warrants or other rights for the purchase or acquisition of such shares at a consideration per share of less than the exercise price then in effect, the warrants were to be amended to (a) reduce the exercise price to an amount equal to the per share consideration payable to the company in such sale or issuance, and (b) the quantity of warrants were to updated, based on certain rules as determined in the Warrants Agreements with the Leading Investor.

As a result of a private placements in August 2012, and pursuant to adjustment terms of the 2011 Warrants, such warrant was amended to: (i) reduce the exercise price from $6.00 to $4.44, (ii) increase the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant from 182,292 to 246,341.

In addition, as a result of the agreement with D.N.A, as described in note 4c, and pursuant to adjustment terms of the 2011 Warrants, the Company further amended the 2011 Warrants by: (i) reducing the exercise price from $4.44 to $3.7656 and (ii) increasing the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2011 Warrants from 246,341 to 290,459.

On November 29, 2012, the Company and the Leading Investor entered into a letter agreement (the "Agreement") in connection with the Three Warrants. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and the Leading Investor agreed to amend the Three Warrants to provide that the anti-dilution protection of each of the Three Warrants shall be removed in its entirety. In addition, as to the Warrants issued in August and November 2012, the parties agreed that the exercise price shall be reduced to $3.7656. On that day, the Company also issued to the Leading Investor a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "New Warrant") pursuant to which, the Leading Investor shall have the right to purchase up to 137,311 shares of the common stock of the Company over a period of four years at an exercise price of $7.20 per share. The fair value of the New Warrant on the date of grant, was $145,173, using the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 4 years; expected volatility of 62.29%; and risk-free interest rate of 0.57%.

The fair value of the warrants was determined by using Monte Carlo type model based on the risk neutral approach. The model takes as an input the estimated future dates when new capital will be raised, and builds a multi-step dynamic model. The first step is to model the risk neutral distribution of the share value on the new issue dates, then for each path to use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of the warrants on the last issue date including all the changes in exercise price and quantity along this path. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the future expected issue dates. Significant delay in this input would result a higher fair value measurement.

NOTE 5 - WARRANTS (continued):

In addition to the New Warrant, Nadav Kidron, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and director, in his personal capacity as a shareholder of the Company, undertook and agreed that following the execution and delivery of the Agreement, in the event that an adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protection of any of the Three Warrants (had it not been amended by the Agreement thereof) would have been triggered and the number of shares of common stock of the Company that the Leading Investor would have been able to purchase under the Three Warrants would have increased by an aggregate number in excess of 137,311 shares, then the Leading Investor shall have the right to purchase from Mr. Kidron such number of shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Kidron equal to such excess, up to a maximum of 112,690 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Kidron Option"). The foregoing right shall survive until the termination of such Three Warrants. The fair value of the Kidron Option on the date of grant was $168,220, based on the Monte Carlo type model that is described above, and was recognized as part of the stockholders equity.

Pursuant to the removal of the anti-dilution protection, the Three Warrants were no longer classified as liabilities. The Company recognized a financial expense in the amount of $296,982 during the three months ended November 30, 2012.

Overview of Operations

We are a pharmaceutical company currently engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules or pills for delivery of other polypeptides.

Recent business developments and financing activities

In September 2012, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with Medpace, Inc., or Medpace, to retain Medpace as a contract research organization, or CRO, for our upcoming Phase 2 clinical trial for an oral insulin capsule that was expected to start in the first calendar quarter of 2013 in the United States. As consideration for its services, we will pay Medpace a total amount of approximately $3,500,000 during the term of the engagement, based on the achievement of certain milestones. In March 2013, due to a request from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for us to perform a sub study before proceeding with the Phase 2 clinical trial, we instructed Medpace to temporarily cease all work under the Master Services Agreement. We intend to resume the clinical trial at such time as we receive approval from the FDA.

In October 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd., or D.N.A, an Israeli company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, according to which we issued to D.N.A 199,172 shares of our common stock in consideration for an option to purchase up to 21,637,611 ordinary shares of D.N.A, or the D.N.A Option. We had previously acquired 8,404,667 ordinary shares of D.N.A issued in March 2011. In February 2013, we exercised the D.N.A Option. In addition, in February and March 2013 we sold a total amount of 7,000,000 of our D.N.A ordinary shares, of which 5,250,000 ordinary shares were issued to us in March 2011 and 1,750,000 ordinary shares were issued to us in February 2013 upon our exercise of the D.N.A Option. The ordinary shares were sold in private transactions for a total of NIS 840,000 (or approximately $226,670, based on the exchange rate between the NIS and the U.S. dollar, as quoted by the Bank of Israel on the dates of sale), before brokerage fees. As of April 10, 2013, we own approximately 11.1% of D.N.A’s outstanding ordinary shares.

Between September and November 2012, we completed private placements pursuant to which we sold to certain investors an aggregate of 335,477 “units” at a purchase price of $4.44 per unit for total consideration of $1,489,518. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase 0.50 of a share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. In connection with such private placements, we paid cash compensation of $12,885 as a finder’s fee. We also issued 1,127 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 564 shares of common stock as a finder’s fee to a third-party in connection with the private placements and issued 12,745 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 6,373 shares of common stock as a finder’s fee to one of our directors, Leonard Sank.

In November 2012, we entered into a letter agreement, or the Agreement, with Regals Fund LP, or Regals, in connection with (1) the warrant originally issued in January 2011, as amended in August 2012 and November 2012, to purchase up to 290,459 shares of our common stock, (2) the warrant dated August 28, 2012, to purchase up to 112,613 shares of our common stock and (3) the warrant dated November 5, 2012, to purchase up to 16,892 shares of our common stock , or together, the Warrants. Pursuant to the Agreement, we and Regals agreed to amend the Warrants to provide that the anti-dilution protection of the Warrants shall be deleted in its entirety. In addition, as to the warrants issued in August and November 2012, the parties agreed to reduce the exercise price to $3.7656 per share, the current exercise price per share of the warrants originally issued in January 2011. At such time, we also issued to Regals a warrant, or the New Warrant, pursuant to which Regals shall have the right to purchase up to 137,311 shares of our common stock over a period of four years at an exercise price of $7.20 per share.

In connection with the New Warrant, Nadav Kidron, our President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, in his personal capacity as one of our shareholders, agreed that following the execution and delivery of the Agreement, in the event that an adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protection of the Warrants (had they not been amended by the Agreement) would have been triggered and the number of shares of our common stock that Regals would have been able to purchase under the Warrants would have increased by an aggregate number in excess of 137,311 common shares, then Regals shall have the right to purchase from Mr. Kidron such number of shares of our common stock owned by Mr. Kidron, up to a maximum of 112,690 shares of our common stock. This right shall survive until the termination of the Warrants.

In December 2012 and March 2013, we were issued patents by the South African and Japanese Patent Offices, respectively, which cover part of our technology with respect to the oral delivery of peptides.

In December 2012, we filed an Investigational New Drug, or IND, application with the FDA to begin a Phase 2 clinical trial of our orally ingested insulin capsule, in order to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule on type 2 diabetic volunteers. We have been communicating with the FDA regarding our IND, and, according to the FDA’s request as discussed above, conducted a sub study before we may proceed with the main clinical trial.

In January 2013, we began a clinical trial for our oral exenatide capsule on healthy volunteers and type 2 diabetic patients. We expect to receive results from such trial in the second quarter of calendar year 2013.

In January 2013, we effected a reverse stock split of our shares of common stock at a ratio of one-for-twelve.

In February 2013, we commenced a first human clinical trial on healthy volunteers with our oral insulin capsule delivered in combination with our oral exenatide capsule.

In February 2013, our common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ORMP.

In April 2013, we filed a new IND application with the FDA for the above discussed sub study on our oral insulin capsule.

Results of Operations

Comparison of six and three month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

The following table summarizes certain statements of operations data for the Company for the six and three month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012:

	Six months ended				Three months ended
	February 28, 2013		February 29, 2012		February 28, 2013			February 29, 2012

Research and development expenses	$	1,141,622	$	894,663	$	748,996		$	710,647
General and administrative expenses		850,047		511,605		510,834			229,704
Impairment of available for sale securities		-		43,111		-			43,111
Financial (income) expense, net		192,958		14,515		(33,956	)		1,913
Net loss for the period	$	2,184,627	$	1,463,894	$	1,225,874		$	985,375

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, costs of registered patents materials, supplies, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services related to our clinical trials, clinical trial expenses, the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research, preclinical development. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.

Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. We outsource a substantial portion of our clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as CROs, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist us with the execution of our clinical studies.

Clinical activities which relate principally to clinical sites and other administrative functions to manage our clinical trials are performed primarily by CROs. CROs typically perform most of the start-up activities for our trials, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-study visits, training, and program management.

Clinical trial and pre-clinical trial expenses include regulatory and scientific consultants’ compensation and fees, research expenses, purchase of materials, cost of manufacturing of the oral insulin capsules, payments for patient recruitment and treatment, costs related to the maintenance of our registered patents, costs related to the filings of patent applications, as well as salaries and related expenses of research and development staff.

During the six months ended February 28, 2013, research and development expenses totaled $1,141,622, compared to $894,663 for the six months ended February 29, 2012. The increase is mainly attributed to the preparation for the FDA approved Phase 2 clinical trial as well as to the increase in stock based compensation costs, which during the six months ended February 28, 2013 totaled $169,801, as compared to $36,820 during the six months ended February 29, 2012.

During the three months ended February 28, 2013, research and development expenses totaled $748,996, compared to $710,647 for the three months ended February 29, 2012. The increase in research and development expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2012, is attributable to the same reason discussed above.

Government grants

In May 2012, Oramed Ltd. was granted a third grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 595,000 (approximately $148,000) from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of Israel, or OCS, which was designated for research and development expenses for the period of September 2012 to December 2012. We used the funds to support further research and development and clinical studies of our oral insulin capsule and oral GLP-1 analog.

In the six months ended February 28, 2013, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $22,378. We did not recognize any grants in the three months ended February 28, 2013. In the six and three months ended February 29, 2012, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $57,038 and $15,781, respectively. As of February 28, 2013, we had no contingent liabilities to the OCS.

Grants from the Bio-Jerusalem fund

We are committed to pay royalties to the Bio-Jerusalem fund on proceeds from future sales at a rate of 4% and up to 100% of the amount of the grant received by the Company (Israeli CPI linked) in the total amount of $65,053. As of February 28, 2013, we had not yet realized any revenues since inception and thus did not incur any royalty liability to the Bio-Jerusalem fund.

For the six month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, we received $12,320 and $0, respectively, from the Bio-Jerusalem fund.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses include the salaries and related expenses of our management, consulting costs, legal and professional fees, traveling, business development costs, insurance expenses and other general costs.

For the six months ended February 28, 2013, general and administrative expenses totaled $850,047 compared to $511,605 for the six months ended February 29, 2012. The increase in costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the six months ended February 28, 2013, reflects an increase in stock based compensation costs, arising from options granted to employees and consultants, of $225,367, as well as an increase in legal fees and consulting expenses. During the six months ended February 28, 2013, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $271,583 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $46,216 during the six months ended February 29, 2012.

For the three months ended February 28, 2013, general and administrative expenses totaled $510,834 compared to $229,704 for the three months ended February 29, 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2012, is attributable to the same reasons discussed above.

Financial income/expense, net

Financial expenses for the six months ended February 28, 2013 includes an expense of $296,982 resulting mainly from the removal of the anti-dilution protections from warrant liabilities and the grant of new warrants.

In the six months ended February 28, 2013, we incurred income from exchange rate differences resulting from the decrease in the exchange rate between the NIS and the dollar during the period and its effect on our NIS linked bank deposits, as well as interest income on available cash and cash equivalents that were partially offset by bank charges. In the six months ended February 29, 2012, we received a higher amount of interest income on available cash and cash equivalents, as compared to the six months ended February 28, 2013, which was offset by bank charges.

During the three months ended February 28, 2013, financial income totaled $33,956, compared to financial expenses of $1,913 for the three months ended February 29, 2012. Financial income during the three months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2012, is attributable to the same reasons discussed above.

Other comprehensive income

Subsequent increase in the fair value of available for sale securities previously written down as impaired for the six months ended February 28, 2013 of $122,977, resulted from the increase in fair value of our D.N.A ordinary shares, at the amount of the impairment that was recognized in previous periods. Reclassification adjustment for gains included in net loss for the six months ended February 28, 2013 of $50,687, resulted from the sale of 3,500,000 of our D.N.A ordinary shares in February 2013. Unrealized gain on available for sale securities for the six months ended February 28, 2013 of $172,218, resulted from the increase in fair value of our D.N.A ordinary shares.

Reclassification adjustment for gains included in net loss and unrealized gain on available for sale securities for the three months ended February 28, 2013, resulted from the same reasons discussed above.

Impairment of available for sale securities for the six months ended February 29, 2012 of $43,111 resulted from the decrease in fair value of our D.N.A ordinary shares.

Liquidity and capital resources

From inception through February 28, 2013, we incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $20,076,404. We have financed our operations through the private placements of equity financing, raising a total of $16,595,571, net of transaction costs. We will seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources in the future as needed. As of February 28, 2013, we had $2,039,905 of available cash, $2,317,198 of short term bank deposits and $987,353 of marketable securities. Marketable securities are presented at fair value, are based on their quoted price and their realization is subject to certain limitations if sold through the market, and are exposed to market risk. There is no assurance that at the time of sale of the marketable securities the price per share will be the same or higher, nor that we will be able to sell all of the securities at once given the volume of securities we hold. We anticipate that we will require approximately $3.9 million to finance our activities during the 12 months following February 28, 2013.

Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as we will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing stockholders as well as through additional funding from the OCS.

During the six month period ended February 28, 2013, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $2,039,905 from the $4,430,740 reported as of August 31, 2012, which is due to the reasons described below.

Operating activities used cash of $2,065,590 in the six months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to $1,075,580 in the six months ended February 29, 2012. Cash used for operating activities in the six months ended February 28, 2013 primarily consisted of net loss resulting from research and development and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by stock based compensation adjustments and exchange of warrants, while cash used by operating activities in the six months ended February 29, 2012 primarily consisted of net loss resulting from research and development and general and administrative expenses.

During the six month period ended February 28, 2013, of the $22,378 in OCS grants we recognized during such period, we received none towards our research and development expenses, while in the six months ended February 29, 2012, we received $52,155 towards our research and development expenses. The amounts that were recognized but not received during the six months ended February 28, 2013 are expected to be received from the OCS following the submission of periodic and final reports by Oramed Ltd., and their examination by the OCS. The OCS has supported our activity in the past three years.

Investing activities used cash of $1,750,018 in the six months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to $1,405,536 that was provided in the six months ended February 29, 2012. Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended February 28, 2013 consisted primarily of acquisition of short-term bank deposits. Cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended February 29, 2012 consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of our investment in Entera Bio Ltd.

Financing activities provided cash of $1,450,936 in the six months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to $0 for the six months ended February 29, 2012. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended February 28, 2013 consisted of proceeds from our issuance of common stock and warrants as further discussed above under “Overview of Operations—Recent business developments and financing activities”.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of February 28, 2013, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Planned Expenditures

The estimated expenses referenced herein are in accordance with our business plan. Since our technology is still in the development stage, it can be expected that there will be changes in some budgetary items. Our planned expenditures for the twelve months beginning March 1, 2013 are as follows:

Category	Amount

Research and development, net of OCS funds	$	2,360,000
General and administrative expenses		1,507,000
Financial income, net		(12,000	)
Total	$	3,855,000

As indicated above, in December 2012 and April 2013, we filed IND applications with the FDA for our orally ingested insulin and we are conducting, or planning to conduct, further clinical studies with our exenatide capsule and the combination therapy, respectively, and others. We expect to have a significant increase in research and development expenses during the term of the FDA approved Phase 2 study that is expected to be conducted during fiscal year 2013. Our ability to complete these expected activities is dependent on several major factors including the ability to attract sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us and receiving additional grants from the OCS.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended February 28, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as follows:
