NOTE 1:-GENERAL

Pluristem Therapeutics Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on May 11, 2001. Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. has a wholly owned subsidiary, Pluristem Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. and the Subsidiary are referred to as the “Company”.

The Company is a bio-therapeutic company developing standardized cell therapy products from human placenta for the treatment of multiple disorders. The Company has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue in the foreseeable future. The Company's accumulated losses aggregated to $57,438 through December 31, 2011 and the Company incurred a net loss of $6,485 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. 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, entering into licensing technology agreements such as the United Therapeutics Corporation (“United Therapeutics”) agreement, and from grants to support its R&D activity. In the longer term, the Company plans to finance its operations from revenues from sales of products.

The Company was in the development stage from its inception until July 2011 (see 2a below).

c.	Since December 10, 2007, the Company’s shares of common stock have been traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol PSTI. On May 7, 2007, the Company’s shares also began trading on Europe’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol PJTA.

On December 19, 2010, the Company’s shares began trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange under the symbol “PLTR”.

d.	Licence Agreement:

On June 19, 2011, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement, or the License Agreement, with United Therapeutics, for the use of its PLX cells to develop and commercialize a cell-based product for the treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension ("PAH"). The License Agreement provides that United Therapeutics will receive exclusive worldwide license rights for the development and commercialization of the Company's PLX cell-based product to treat PAH. The License Agreement provides for the following consideration payable to the Company: (i) an upfront payment of $7,000 paid in August 2011, which includes a $5,000 non-refundable upfront payment and $2,000 refundable advance payment on the development ; (ii) up to $37,500 upon reaching certain regulatory milestones with respect to the development of a product to treat PAH; (iii) reimbursement of up to $10,000 of certain of the Company expenses if the Company establishes a manufacturing facility in North America upon meeting certain milestones; (iv) reimbursement of certain costs in connection with the development of the product; and (v) following commercialization of the product, royalties and the purchase of commercial supplies of the developed product from the Company at a specified margin over the Company’s cost.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. 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 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. 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 the Form 10-K have been omitted. Commencing July 2011, the Company ceased to consider itself a development stage company.

Short-term deposits

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are convertible to cash with original maturities of more than three months and less than one year as short-term deposits.

Marketable Securities

The Company accounts for its investments in marketable securities in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities”. The Company determines the classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gain and loss reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Realized gain and loss on sales of marketable securities are included in the Company's statements of operations and are derived using the specific identification basis for determining the cost of marketable securities. The amortized cost of available for sale marketable securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discount to maturity. Such amortization, together with interest on available for sale marketable securities, is included in the financial income (expenses), net.

The Company recognizes an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of its available-for-sale marketable securities below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time the investment has been in a loss position, the extent to which the fair value has been less than the Company's cost basis, the investment’s financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer. The Company adopted FASB ASC 320-10-65 effective January 1, 2009, which requires an other-than-temporary impairment for debt securities to be separated into (a) the amount representing the credit loss and (b) the amount related to all other factors (provided that the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell it before recovery). The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale and marks them to market with changes to other comprehensive income until realization or occurrence of other than temporary impairment loss.

Revenue Recognition from the license Agreement with United Therapeutics

The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to the License Agreement with United Therapeutics in accordance with ASC 625-25 "Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements". Pursuant to this guidance, the Company determined that its arrangement with United Therapeutics involves multiple revenue-generating deliverables that should be accounted for as a separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes.

The Company received an up-front, non-refundable license payment of $5,000. Additional payments totaling $37,500 are subject to the Company's meeting certain milestones.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

Revenue Recognition from the license Agreement with United Therapeutics (cont.)

The non-refundable upfront license fee of $5,000 is deferred and recognized over the related performance period in accordance with SAB 104 "Revenue Recognition". The Company estimated the performance period of the development of approximately 5.5 years. The license fee will be recognized on a straight line basis as revenue over the estimated development period, resulting in revenue of $385 for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

The additional milestones payments will be recognized upon the achievement of the specific milestone, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 08-9, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition".

The Company also received a refundable, advance payment on the development, of $2,000 that will be deductible against development expenses as it accrued. This upfront payment received and not recognized as revenues is included in the balance sheet as advanced payment. All expenses related to the development, on cost basis, shall be repaid to the Company by United Therapeutics. The Company is deducting the payments from the R&D expenses in accordance with ASC 730 "Research and Development".

During the six month period ended December 31, 2011, the Company deducted an amount of approximately $74.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities, short-term deposits, trade payable and other accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their generally short term maturities.

The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions, or other inputs that are observable (model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable), or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company categorized each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels of hierarchy.

Impact of recently issued accounting standards:

On June 16, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

Impact of recently issued accounting standards: (cont.)

This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and provides for either a single continuous statement or two separate statements.

Both options require companies to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income. Companies are also required to present reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income within these statements. This standard will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The disclosure requirements of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position as the amendment impacts presentation only.

For additional description of recent accounting pronouncements relevant to the Company, please refer to “Recently issued accounting standards” included in Note 2 in the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

NOTE 6: - SHARE CAPITAL AND STOCK OPTIONS (CONT.)

Options, warrants, restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants:

The Company has approved two incentive option plans from 2003 and from 2005 (the “2003 Plan" and the “2005 Plan”, and collectively, 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. Any Awards that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants.

As of December 31, 2011, the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2005 Plan amounted to 10,505,995. 1,131,281 shares are still available for future grant under the 2005 Plan as of December 31, 2011. Under the 2003 Plan 20,500 options are authorized for issuance, and 15,296 options are still available for future grant as of December 31, 2011.

a. Options to employees and directors:

The Company accounted for its options to employees and directors under the fair value method in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation — Stock Compensation". A summary of the Company’s share option activity for options granted to employees and directors under the Plans is as follows:

	Six months ended December 31, 2011
	Number			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Terms (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value Price
Options outstanding at beginning of period		2,200,616		$	3.84
Options exercised		(18,000	)		0.62
Options forfeited		(64,046	)		3.65
Options outstanding at end of the period		2,118,570		$	3.88		5.39	$	981

Options vested and expected to vest		2,118,570		$	3.88		5.39	$	981

Intrinsic value of exercisable options (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day in the period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) represents the amount that would have been received by the employees and directors option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2011. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

Compensation expenses related to options granted to employees and directors were recorded as follows:

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 are a leading bio-therapeutic company developing standardized cell therapy products for the treatment of life threatening diseases. We are developing a pipeline of products, stored ready-to-use, derived from human placenta, a non-controversial, non-embryonic, adult cell source. Placental-derived adherent stromal cells are grown in the Company's proprietary PluriX™ three-dimensional process that allows cells to grow in a more natural environment and enable us to produce large quantities of clinical grade cells. We refer to the cells that are grown in the PluriX™ as our PLacental eXpanded cells, or PLX cells. We are expanding our in-house manufacturing capacity so that we will be able to grow large scale quantities of our cells efficiently and without reliance on outside vendors.

Our strategy is to develop and manufacture cell therapy products for the treatment of multiple disorders via several routes of administration. We plan to execute this strategy both independently, using our own personnel and via relationships with research and clinical institutions, or in collaboration with other companies, such as United Therapeutics Corporation, or United. We plan to have in-house manufacturing capacity of clinical grade PLX cells in commercial quantities and to control all of our proprietary manufacturing processes in order to assist in executing this strategy.

We believe that intramuscular administration, which means that the cells are administrated locally to the muscle and not systemically, may be suitable for a number of different clinical indications. Such indications include peripheral artery disease, or PAD, critical limb ischemia, or CLI, intermittent claudication, muscle injuries, thromboangiitis obliterans, or Buerger's disease, neuropathic pain, wound healing and orthopedic injuries. In addition, we have reported pre-clinical studies utilizing successfully our proprietary PLX cells when administered systemically via the intravenous route in treating multiple sclerosis, ischemic stroke, inflammatory bowel disease and radiation exposure. Under our exclusive license agreement, or the United Agreement, with United, we plan to participate in the development and commercialization of a PLX cell-based product for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, or PAH.

Our first product in development, called PLX-PAD, is intended to improve the quality of life of millions of people suffering from PAD. In November 2011, following completion of twelve month clinical follow-ups using our PLX cells in CLI, the end-stage of PAD, we announced that the data collected from our two open-label, dose-escalation, Phase I clinical trials conducted in the United States and Germany demonstrated a safe immunologic profile at all dosage levels and found PLX-PAD to be potentially effective in treating patients suffering from CLI. During the Phase I clinical trials we have collected information regarding the Amputation Free Survival, or AFS, rate and since our Phase I clinical trials did not include control groups, we compared the data with another published CLI trial's control data, or Historical Data. The data showed that from a total of twenty-seven patients, four treatment failures, or Event, occurred during the observation period of twelve months, which resulted in an AFS rate of 85.2%, as opposed to Historical Data of 66.8% for the same time period. This corresponded to an Event rate of 14.8%, as opposed to Historical Data showing a 33.2% Event rate.

Recent Developments

In October 2011, we entered into an agreement for the design and construction of a manufacturing facility of bio-pharmaceutical products, or the Construction Agreement, with Biopharmax Group (1996) Ltd., a company specializing in the design and construction of biotechnological and pharmaceutical facilities, or the Contractor. Under the terms of the Construction Agreement, the Contractor is required to design and construct our new manufacturing facility, in a space to be leased as of January 2012, as a turn key project, or the Project, that will meet the requirements of the U.S., Canadian, Israeli and European regulatory authorities and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). The Project is planned to be completed in the fourth calendar quarter of 2012. The Contractor is required to pay certain penalties for not meeting the time schedule agreed between the parties.

Pursuant to the terms of the Construction Agreement, the Contractor is eligible to receive an aggregate consideration of NIS 22,800,000 (approximately $6,246,575 based on the then current exchange ratio of $1=NIS3.65) plus value added tax. We have the option to pay a certain portion of the said consideration in up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. We may terminate the Construction Agreement at any time by a written notice to the Contractor. In case of termination by us for convenience, we shall be required to pay the Contractor $250,000 in addition to the payment for the services provided by the Contractor prior to the termination date.

In January 2012, we announced that our wholly owned subsidiary, Pluristem Ltd., received approval for a NIS 9 million (approximately $2.4 million) grant from the Office of the Chief Scientist, or the OCS, within the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. Once received, the grant will be used to cover R&D expenses for the period March 2011 to February 2012. This is the sixth grant received by us from the OCS and is subject to the same repayment restrictions of royalties as the prior grants.

Critical accounting policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue pursuant to the United Agreement in accordance with ASC 625-25 "Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements". Pursuant to this guidance, we determined that our arrangement with United involves multiple revenue-generating deliverables that should be accounted for as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes.

We received an up-front, non-refundable license payment of $5,000,000. Additional payments totaling $37.5 million are subject to our Company's meeting certain milestones. The non-refundable upfront license fee of $5,000,000 is deferred and recognized over the related performance period in accordance with SAB 104 "Revenue Recognition". We estimated the performance period of the development of approximately 5.5 years. Future changes in estimates of the performance period may materially impact the timing and amounts of future revenue recognized. The license fee will be recognized on a straight line basis as revenue over the estimated development period, resulting in revenue of $385,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

The additional milestones payments will be recognized upon the achievement of the specific milestone, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 08-9, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition".

We also received a refundable, advance payment on the development, of $2,000,000 that is deductible against development expenses as it accrued. This upfront payment received and not recognized as revenues is included in the balance sheet as advanced payment. All expenses related to the development, on cost basis, shall be repaid to us by United. We are deducting the payments from the R&D expenses in accordance with ASC 730 "Research and Development".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 COMPARED TO SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2011 in the amount of $385,000 are from the United Agreement. We did not generate revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 in the amount of $231,000 are from the United Agreement. We did not generate revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses, net of participation of the OCS and other grants, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 increased by 52% from $2,576,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to $3,923,000. This increase is attributed to the following reasons: The material increase in our in-house research and development activity, the increase in expenses related to the clinical and preclinical trials we are involved with and timing of approval of the OCS program. The material increase in research and development expenses resulted from increase in our salaries and lab materials expenses due to, among other things, hiring 27 new employees since December 2010. In addition, the research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2011 are net of participation of the OCS for ten months in the amount of $1,896,000, compared to participation of the OCS for the six months ended December 31, 2010 which are $1,111,000.

Research and development expenses, net of participation of the OCS and other grants, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 32% from $1,578,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $1,074,000. This decrease is attributed to the following reasons: timing of approval of the OCS program, which resulted in $1,896,000 recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $608,000 recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2011, partially offset by an increase in our in-house research and development activity and the increase in expenses related to the clinical and preclinical trials we are involved with. The increase in research and development expenses resulted from an increase in our salaries due to, among other things, hiring 27 new employees since December 2010, and increases in laboratory materials expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2011 increased by 45% from $2,002,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to $2,912,000 mainly due to stock-based compensation expenses related to our employees and consultants which increased by approximately $595,000 and due to general and administrative costs related to the United Agreement such as bonuses that our officers and directors were entitled to as part of our bonus plan and legal fees involved.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased by 2% from $1,246,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $1,275,000.

Financial Income, net

Financial income decreased from $68,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to an expense of $35,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 due to exchange rate adjustments.

Financial income increased from $3,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $126,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 due to an increase in interest income on bank deposits due to higher cash balances partially offset by exchange rate adjustments.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six and three months ended December 31, 2011 was $6,485,000 and $1,992,000, respectively, as compared to net loss of $4,510,000 and $2,821,000 for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010, respectively. Net loss per share for the six and three months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.15 and $0.05, respectively, as compared to $0.20 and $0.11 for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010.

For the periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had weighted average shares of common stock outstanding of 43,225,017 and 22,954,736, respectively, that were used in the computations of net loss per share. The increase in weighted average common shares outstanding reflects mainly the shares of common stock issued in offerings that took place since December 2010 and shares issued as a result of exercise of warrants and options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, total current assets were $43,843,000 and total current liabilities were $4,976,000. On December 31, 2011, we had a working capital surplus of $38,867,000, stockholders' equity of $40,352,000 and an accumulated deficit of $57,438,000. We finance our operations and plan to continue doing so from our existing cash, licensing agreements, funds from grants from the OCS and issuances of our securities.

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 amounted to $6,672,000. This is a decrease of $36,157,000 from the $42,829,000 reported as of June 30, 2011, which is mainly due to our investing in short-term and long-term bank deposits and in marketable securities, as further detailed below.

Cash balances decreased in the six months ended December 31, 2011 for the reasons presented below.

Operating activities provided cash of $174,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2011. Cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2011 primarily consisted of receiving the upfront payment related to the United Agreement in the amount of $7,000,000 offset by payments of salaries to our employees, and payments of fees to our consultants, subcontractors and professional services providers including costs of clinical studies.

Investing activities used cash of $36,731,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2011. The investing activities consisted primarily of investing in short-term and long-term bank deposits and in marketable securities. The investments were made in accordance with the policy set by our investment committee which aims to preserve our financial assets, maintain adequate liquidity and maximize return. Such policy further provides that we should hold the vast majority of our current assets in bank deposits and the remainder of our current assets is to be invested in government bonds and a combination of corporate bonds and relatively low risk stocks. As of today, the currency of our financial portfolio is mainly in USD and we use forward and options contracts in order to hedge our exposures to currencies other than the USD.

Financing activities generated cash of $400,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2011 from exercises of warrants by shareholders and exercises of options by employees and consultants.

During the past six months, 206,100 warrants were exercised in consideration for $370,980, and 156,122 warrants were exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the net issuance of 77,166 shares of stock.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we received approximately $16,000 from the OCS towards our research and development expenses. The OCS has supported our activity in the past five years. Recently we have received the OCS's approval of the sixth year grant in the amount of NIS 9 million (approximately $2.4 million) for participation in R&D expenses occurred during the period from March 1, 2011 and February 29, 2012. In January 2012, we filed an application for a seventh year program. There is no assurance that the OCS will approve a grant for the seventh year's R&D activity. The amount of the grant is also not certain.

We have accumulated a deficit of $57,438,000 since our inception in May 2001. We do not expect to generate any revenues from sales of products in the next twelve months. Our products will likely not be ready for sale for at least three years, if at all. We expect to generate revenues, which in the short and medium terms will unlikely exceed our costs of operations, from the sale of licenses to use our technology or products, as we have in the United Agreement. Our management believes that we may need to raise additional funds before we have cash flow from operations that can materially decrease our dependence on our existing cash and other liquidity resources. We are continually looking for sources of funding, including non-diluting sources such as the OCS grants. We have an effective shelf registration statement, which we may use in the future to raise additional funds.

We believe that the funds we have will be sufficient for operating until approximately the end of fiscal year of 2014.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
