NOTE 1: - GENERAL
 
a.
Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. ("the Company"), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated and commenced operations on May 11, 2001, under the name A. I. Software Inc. which was changed as of June 30, 2003 to Pluristem Life Systems Inc. On November 26, 2007, the Company’s name was changed to Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Pluristem Ltd. (“the Subsidiary”), which is incorporated under the laws of Israel.
 
b.
The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts towards conducting research and development of adherent stromal cells production technology and the commercialization of cell therapy products. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification TM (“ASC”) 915 (originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development stage Enterprises”). In the course of such activities, the Company and its Subsidiary have sustained operating losses and expect such losses to continue in the foreseeable future. The Company and its Subsidiary have not generated any revenues or product sales and have not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. The Company's accumulated losses during the development stage aggregated to $36,100 through December 31, 2009 and incurred net loss of $3,448 and negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $1,902 for the six months ended December 31, 2009. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis.
 
The Company plans to continue to finance its operations with sales of equity securities and research and development grants and in the longer term, from revenues from product sales or licensing of its technology. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of its planned products.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
c.
Since December 10, 2007, the Company’s shares of common stock have been traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol PSTI. The shares were previously traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “PLRS.OB”. On May 7, 2007, the Company’s shares also began trading on Europe’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange, under the symbol PJT.
 
d.
The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009 up through February 11, 2010.   No subsequent events occurred until the filing date, February 11, 2010.
 
NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Pluristem Therapeutics Inc., a development stage company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Pluristem’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in Form 10-K have been omitted.

NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
B.
Impact of recently issued accounting standards:
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 105-10-65-1 (“ASC 105”) (originally issued as FAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles", a replacement of SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”). ASC 105 is effective for financial statements for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU"). The ASU will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s Financial Statements. The Company has adopted ASC 105 and therefore all references by the Company to authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB reflect the Codification.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value" ("ASU 2009-05"). ASU 2009-05 amends Subtopic 820-10 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall" and provides clarification on the methods to be used in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. The provisions of ASU 2009-05 were effective for the third quarter of 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 15-1- "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing" (“ASU 15-1”) (formerly issued as EITF 09-1).   ASU 15-1 states that a share-lending arrangement entered into on an entity's own shares in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing is required to be measured at fair value and recognized as a debt issuance cost in the financial statements. The debt issuance costs should be amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the financing arrangement as interest cost. In addition, the loaned shares should be excluded from the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share, unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation. ASU 15-1 also expanded the disclosure requirements for share-lending arrangements. ASU 15-1 iseffective from January 1, 2010. Early adoption was not permitted. Retrospective application is required for all arrangements outstanding in the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Issue is initially applied. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 15-1 on the Company’s financial statements.
 
NOTE 3: - SHARE CAPITAL AND STOCK OPTIONS
 
a.
On December 22, 2009, the Company’s authorized common stock was increased from 30,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share to 100,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share.  All shares have equal voting rights and are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be voted upon by stockholders. The shares have no pre-emptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights and may be issued only as fully paid and non-assessable shares. Holders of the common stock are entitled to equal ratable rights to dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available.
 
On July 1, 2008, the authorized share capital of the Company was increased by authorizing 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 each, with series, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as may be designated from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors.  No shares of preferred stock have been currently issued.

b.
On July 9, 2001, the Company issued 175,500 shares of common stock in consideration for $2.50, which was received on July 27, 2001.
 
c.
On October 14, 2002, the Company issued 70,665 shares of common stock at a price of approximately $1.4 per common share in consideration for $100 before issuance costs of $17. On March 19, 2003, two directors each returned 68,250 shares of common stock with a par value of $2 per share, for cancellation, for no consideration.
 
d.
In July 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,628 units comprised of 3,628 shares of common stock and 7,256 warrants to a group of investors, for total consideration of $1,236 (net of issuance costs of $70), under a private placement. The consideration was paid partly in the year ended June 30, 2003 ($933) and the balance was paid in the year ended June 30, 2004.
 
In this placement each unit was comprised of one share of common stock and two warrants, the first warrant was exercisable within a year from the date of issuance for one share of common stock at a price of $450 per share. The second warrant is exercisable within five years from the date of issuance for one share of common stock at a price of $540 per share. All the warrants expired unexercised.
 
e.
On January 20, 2004, the Company consummated a private equity placement with a group of investors (the “Investors”). The Company issued 15,000 units in consideration for net proceeds of $1,273 (net of issuance costs of $227). Each unit is comprised of 15,000 shares of common stock and 15,000 warrants. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at a price of $150 per share, and may be exercised until January 31, 2007. On March 18, 2004, a registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective and the above-mentioned common stock was registered for re-sale. If the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is suspended subsequent to the effective date of registration (March 18, 2004), for more than certain permitted periods, as described in the private equity placement agreement, the Company shall pay penalties to the Investors in respect of the liquidated damages.
 
According to ASC 815-40 (originally issued as Emerging Issued Task Force (“EITF”) 00-19, “Accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a Company’s own stock” (“EITF 00-19”)), the Company classified the warrants as liabilities according to their fair value as remeasured at each reporting period until exercised or expired. Changes in the fair value of the warrants were reported in the statements of operations as financial income or expense.
 
The Company allocated the gross amount received of $1,500 to the par value of the shares issued ($0.03) and to the liability in respect of the warrants issued ($1,499.97). The amount allocated to the liability was less than the fair value of the warrants at grant date.  On January 31, 2007 all the warrants expired unexercised.
 
In addition, the Company issued 1,500 warrants to finders in connection with this private placement, exercisable into 1,500 common shares at a price of $150 per common share until January 31, 2007. The fair value of the warrants issued in the amounts of $192 was recorded as deferred issuance costs and is amortized over a period of three years. On April 19, 2004, the finders exercised the warrants.

Convertible Debenture (Cont.):
 
In accordance with ASC 815-40 (originally issued as EITF 00-19), the Company allocated the consideration paid for the convertible debenture and the warrants as follows:
 
The warrants were recorded as a liability based on their fair value in the amount of $951 at grant date. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: volatility of 83%, risk free interest rate of 4.8%, dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 36 months. Changes in the fair value are recorded as interest income or expense, as applicable.
 
The fair value of the conversion feature of the debentures at grant date, in the amount of $1,951 was recorded as a liability.
 
The balance of the consideration, in the amount of $97, was allocated to the debentures. The discount in the amount of $2,903 was amortized according to the effective rate interest method over the debentures contractual period (24 months).
 
The fair value of the warrants issued as a finder’s fee and the finder’s fee in cash amounted to $535 and were recorded as deferred issuance expenses and are amortized over the Debentures’ contractual period. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black - Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: volatility of 83%, risk free interest rate of 4.8%, dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 36 months.
 
According to ASC 815-40 (originally issued as EITF 00-19), in order to classify warrants and options (other than employee stock options) as equity and not as liabilities, the Company should have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to provide for settlement of those instruments that may require share settlement. Under the terms of the Debentures, the Company may be required to issue an unlimited number of shares to satisfy the debenture’s contractual requirements. As such, on April 3, 2006, the Company’s warrants and options (other than employee stock options) were classified as liabilities and measured at fair value with changes recognized currently in earnings.
 
As of November 9, 2006, all of the Debentures, were converted into 969,815 shares. As a result, an amount of $1,787 was reclassified into common stock and additional paid-in capital as follows: from conversion of the feature embedded in convertible debenture ($1,951), convertible debenture ($202), accrued interest ($74) net of issuance expenses in the amount of $440. In addition, the warrants and options to consultants in the amount of $476 and deferred issuance expenses in the amount of $379 were reclassified as equity.
 
Pursuant to an investor relations agreement dated April 28, 2006, the Company paid in cash an amount of $440 on October 19, 2006 and issued 50,000 common shares on November 9, 2006 to certain service providers following reaching certain milestones regarding the conversion of the Debentures as agreed to by the parties.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2007, 186,529 of the warrants which were issued on April 3, 2006, were exercised. 75,692 warrants were exercised into shares in consideration for $1,022 (net of cash exercise costs of $114), and 110,836 warrants were exercised cashless into 46,674 shares.   On April 30, 2009, the rest of the warrants expired unexercised.

The consideration was paid partly prior to the issuance of the shares in the year ended June 30, 2007 ($368) and was recorded as receipts on account of shares and the balance was paid during July and August 2007.
 
 
As part of May 2007 Agreement, the Company signed an escrow agreement according to which the Company granted an option to an investor to invest, under the same conditions defined in the May 2007 Agreement, up to $5,000 which will be paid in monthly installments over 10 months starting six months subsequent to the closing date. According to the agreement, in the event that the investor fails to make any of the payments within five days of the payment due date, the option to invest the remaining amount will be cancelled. As a result of this agreement, the Company issued 634,580 shares of the Company’s common stock and 634,580 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock in consideration for $1,561 (net of cash issuance costs of $25). As of March 31, 2008 the option was cancelled.
 
 
The total proceeds related to the May 2007 Agreement accumulated as of June 30, 2008 were $9,997 (net of cash issuance costs of $89), and 4,034,585 shares and 4,034,585 warrants were issued.
 
 
In connection with the May 2007 Agreement, the Company issued 275,320 warrants to finders as finders’ fee. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

o.
The Company issued 28,398 warrants to the investors related to the May 2007 Agreement as compensation to investors who delivered the invested amount prior to the closing date of the placement. The warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.  The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants as financial expenses in the amount of $651 in the year ended June 30, 2007.  The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk free rate of 4.8%, a volatility factor of 128%, dividend yield of 0% and expected life of five years.
 
p.
In the May 2007 Agreement, there is a provision that requires the Company for a period of four years (subject to acceleration under certain circumstances) not to sell any of the Company’s common stock for less than $0.0125 per share (pre-split price). The May 2007 Agreement provides that any sale below that price must be preceded by consent from each purchaser in the placement. Since that date, the Company had effected a one-for-200 reverse stock split.

 (Cont.):
 
The Company decided to proceed and enter into additional security purchase agreements notwithstanding this provision for the following reasons:
 
·  
The agreement does not contain any provisions for the adjustment of the specified minimum price in the event of stock splits and the like. If such agreement were to have contained such a provision, the floor price would be $2.50.
 
·  
The majority of purchasers in the private placement have sold the stock purchased in the placement, and thus the number of purchasers whose consent is purportedly required has been substantially reduced. The number of shares outstanding as to which this provision currently applies according the information supplied by transfer agent is 1.8 million shares.
 
·  
An agreement that prevents the Company’s Board of Directors from issuing shares that are necessary to finance the Company’s business may be unenforceable.
 
 
It is unclear what could be the consequences of a court decision that the issuance of shares below $2.50 per share violates the May 2007 Agreement.
 
 
In connection therewith, the Company approved the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 147,884 shares of its common stock to each of the investors who was a party to the May 2007 Agreement that held shares purchased pursuant to such agreement, as of August 6, 2008, conditioned on having the investors execute a general release pursuant to which the Company will be released from liability including, but not limited to, any claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of, relating to, or regarding sales of certain equity securities notwithstanding the above mentioned provision.  As of December 31, 2009 the Company received a general release from part of the investors, and issued them warrants to purchase 70,368 shares of its common stock.
 
q.
On August 6, 2008, the Company sold 1,391,304 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 695,652 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 to two investors in consideration of $1,600 pursuant to terms of a securities purchase agreement. The placement agent received a placement fee equal to 6% of the gross purchase price of the Units (excluding any consideration that may be paid in the future upon exercise of the warrants) as well as warrants to purchase 83,478 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. The warrants will be exercisable after six months from the closing date through and including August 5, 2013.  Total cash issuance costs related to this placement amounted to $125.
 
r.
On September 22, 2008, the Company sold 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 675,000 shares of common stock to an investor in consideration for $1,035 pursuant to terms of a securities purchase agreement. The price per share of common stock was $1.15, and the exercise price of the warrants is $1.90. The warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years. As part of this transaction, the Company paid a transaction fee to the finders equal to 6% of the actual purchase price and warrants exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to purchase 54,000 of the Company’s shares of common stock.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward - Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Federal securities laws, and is subject to the safe-harbor created by such Act and laws.  Forward-looking statements may include statements regarding our goals, beliefs, strategies, objectives, plans, including product and technology developments, future financial conditions, results or projections or current expectations.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology.  These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.  Such forward-looking statements appear in this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and include statements regarding our expectations, regarding our capital requirements, our plans to raise additional funding, including non-dilutive funding, statements regarding the clinical trials we started and statements about the potential safety and efficacy of our PLX-PAD product. Our business and operations are subject to substantial risks, which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this report.  Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Further information on potential factors that could affect our business is described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.  Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures we have made in that report.

Our financial statements are stated in thousands United States Dollars (U.S.$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, the “company” and “Pluristem” mean Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary, Pluristem Ltd., unless otherwise indicated or as otherwise required by the context.
 
Overview
 
We develop and intend to commercialize cell therapy production technologies and products.  In June and September 2009 we commenced enrollment of patients in two Phase I clinical trials of our placenta expanded cells product for treatment of peripheral artery disease, also referred to as the PLX-PAD product, in Germany and the US respectively. Both trials are open label dose escalating trials. The trial in Germany will enroll up to a total of fifteen patients and utilize three doses while the US trial will enroll up to a total of twelve patients and utilize two doses.
 
Currently, there are three clinical sites actively recruiting patients, one in Germany and two in the US.
 
On January 11, 2010 we announced initial results from PLX-PAD clinical trials whereby nine patients, representing one-third of the patients needed to complete the Phase I dose-escalating studies in the U.S. and Germany, have been dosed with our PLX-PAD product. Patients experienced no significant unfavorable effects related to PLX-PAD administration. Three of the nine patients dosed completed their three-month follow up and the data from those patients demonstrated a trend towards efficacy with a reduction in their Rutherford Category, a measure of the severity of their limb ischemia.  To date, 13 patients have been enrolled to the clinical trial.
 
We have not generated revenues since our inception.  Historically to fund our operations, we have relied on private placement issuances and public offerings of equity, as well as on governmental grants.

We do not expect to generate revenues from sales of products in the next 12 months, and therefore it is likely that we will need to raise additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations and growth. Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our products and the degree to which competitive products are introduced to the market.  Our products will likely not be ready for sale for at least three years, if at all.  We believe that the funds we have, together with an approved R&D grant from the Israeli Office of Chief Scientist (the “OCS”), will be sufficient for operating until at least September 2010.  As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity financing and governmental grants. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of the company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report to our financial reports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, stated that there was a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may need to take measures to reduce our operating costs, or, if such measures will not be sufficient, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008.
 
We have not generated any revenues, and we have negative cash flow from operations of $19,632,000 and have accumulated a deficit of $36,100,000 since our inception in May 2001. This negative cash flow is mostly attributable to research and development, clinical program and general and administrative expenses. We estimate our net operating cash expenses in the next 12 months will be approximately $6,000,000.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses, net, for the six months ended December 31, 2009 increased by 39% from $1,302,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to $1,814,000.  The increase is mainly due to the timing of approval of grants from the OCS.  The grant for the period March through December 2008 was approved and recorded only in December 2008.  Therefore, in the six months ended December 31, 2008 we recorded an OCS grant in the amount of $1,329,000, which actually covers OCS support for 10 months of research and development activity.  The OCS grant recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $989,000, and relates to OCS support for only 6 months of research and development activity.  In addition, during the six months ended December 31, 2009 we increased our research and development expenses due to recruitment of new employees to support our clinical trials.  Such increase was mainly in payment of salaries and benefits, as well as purchase of materials.
 
Research and development expenses, net, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 increased from $39,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to $947,000.  The increase is attributed mainly to timing issues of approval of OCS grants: our expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2009, are reduced by $500,000 which were approved by the OCS as a grant to support our research and development during that quarter.  The OCS grant included in the three months ended December 31, 2008, amounted to $1,329,000 and relates to OCS support of our research and development activities for a period of 10 months.  In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2009 we increased our research and development expenses due to recruitment of new employees to support our clinical trials activity.  Such increase was mainly in payment of salaries and benefits.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 decreased by 4% from $1,707,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to $1,645,000. The decrease is attributable to the decrease in the amount attributed to stock-based compensation to employees and consultants, from $659,000 to $501,000, respectively.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 increased by 13% from $774,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to $875,000. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to investor and public relations related expenses.

Financial Income, net
 
Financial income increased from an expense of $66,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to an income of $11,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009.  The increase in the financial income is due to a loss from the sale of marketable securities that occurred during the six months ended December 31, 2008.
 
Financial expenses decreased from an expense of $20,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to an expense of $9,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 due to exchange rate adjustments.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009 was $3,448,000 and $1,831,000, respectively, as compared to net loss of $3,075,000 and $833,000 for the six and three months ended December 31, 2008, respectively. Net loss per share for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009 was $0.22 and $0.10, respectively, as compared to $0.35 and $0.09 for the six and three months ended December 31, 2008. The net loss per share decreased as a result of the increase in our weighted average number of shares following the issuance of additional shares since December 31, 2008.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2009, total current assets were $4,057,000 and total current liabilities were $1,057,000. On December 31, 2009, we had a working capital surplus of $3,000,000 and an accumulated deficit of $36,100,000. We finance our operations and plan to continue doing so with issuances of securities and with funds from grants from the OCS.
 
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009 amounted to $1,383,000.  This is a decrease of $956,000 from the $2,339,000 reported as of June 30, 2009. Cash balances decreased in the six months ended December 31, 2009 for the reasons presented below.
 
Operating activities used cash of $1,902,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2009. Cash used by operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2009 primarily consisted of payments of salaries to our employees, and payments of fees to our consultants, subcontractors and professional services providers including costs of the clinical trials, less research and development grants by the OCS.

Investing activities used cash of $2,631,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2009. The investing activities consisted of investment of $2,500,000 in a short-term bank deposit and the purchase of equipment for our R&D facilities in the amount of $124,000.

Financing activities generated cash of $3,577,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2009 related to the offerings described below.

On July 7, 2009, we announced that the first patient has been enrolled in a Phase I clinical trial of our PLX-PAD product.  Upon the occurrence of such event, certain investors had an option to purchase additional shares and warrants (the “Option”). Accordingly, such certain investors purchased, in July 2009, 1,058,708 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $794,000, and warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,058,708 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share.  The warrants are exercisable for a period of 4 years and six months commencing six months following the issuance.

On October 12, 2009, certain institutional investors purchased 2,702,822 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 1,081,129 shares of common stock. The price per share of common stock was $1.12, and the exercise price of the warrants was $1.60. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing six months following the issuance thereof.   Roth Capital Partners, LLC acted as placement agent, on a reasonable efforts basis, for the offering.   The offering was made pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3.  The gross proceeds we received from this offering were approximately $3,027,000. Total cash costs related to this placement amounted to $242,000.

The OCS has supported our activity since 2006.  The OCS approved our application for a fourth year’s grant in an amount of $2.3 million for participation in R&D expenses for the period March 2009 to February 2010.  Out of such amount we have already received $1,228,000.  We believe that the funds we have, together with the approved R&D grant from the OCS, will be sufficient for operating until at least September 2010.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report to our financial reports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that we will need to raise additional funds before we have any cash flow from operations. We are looking constantly for sources of funding, including non-diluting sources such as the OCS grants.  We have an effective shelf registration statement which we have used in recent public offerings we made and may continue to use in the future to raise additional funds.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off balance sheet arrangements.
 
Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed for the purposes of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
