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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The
issuance of shares to the consultants was in some cases in addition to cash
compensation the consultants were entitled to.
In July
2009, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement pursuant to which
the service will be provided to the Company in consideration for a cash retainer
and a monthly issuance of shares of common stock of the
Company, beginning September 1, 2009. Since the shares
were not issued yet, the Company recorded a liability in the amount of the fair
value of the shares, which amounted to $20.

Options,

|
|
The
Company has approved two incentive option plans from 2003 and from 2005
(the “Plans”). Under these plans, options, restricted stock and
restricted stock units (the “Awards”) may be granted to the Company’s
officers, directors, employees and consultants or the officers, directors,
employees and consultants of the Subsidiary.
Each
option granted under the plan adopted in 2005, as it was amended and
restated on January 21, 2009 (the “2005 Plan”) is exercisable through the
expiration date of the 2005 Plan, which is December 31, 2018, unless
stated otherwise. The Awards vest over two years from the date
of grant, as follows: 25% vests six months after the date of grant, and
the remaining Awards vest monthly, in equal instalments over 18 months
unless other vesting schedules are specified. Any Awards that
are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future
grants.
As
of December 31, 2009, the number of Shares authorized for issuance under
the 2005 Plan amounted to 5,178,565. 266,686 Shares are still
available for future grant under the 2005 Plan as of December 31,
2009. Under the 2003 Plan 12,757 options are still available
for future grant.

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.
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.
3
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.
4
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.

Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off balance sheet arrangements.
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.
