PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors”.
 
THE COMPANY
 
General
 
We are a pharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule or tablet to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, rectal application of insulin, use of orally ingestible capsules, tablets or pills for delivery of other polypeptides and rectal application of other polypeptides.
 
Oral Insulin: We are seeking to revolutionize the treatment of diabetes through our proprietary flagship product, an orally ingestible insulin capsule (ORMD0801) currently in Phase 2 clinical trials. Our technology allows insulin to travel from the gastrointestinal tract via the portal vein to the bloodstream, revolutionizing the manner in which insulin is delivered. It enables its passage in a more physiological manner than  current delivery methods of insulin.
 
Through our research and development efforts, we are developing an oral dosage form that will withstand the harsh chemical environment of the stomach or intestines and will be effective in delivering active insulin for the treatment of diabetes. The proteins and vehicles that are added to the insulin in the formulation process must not modify chemically or biologically, and the insulin and the dosage form must be safe to ingest.
 
Our research and development team has performed numerous animal studies to optimize the composition and functionality of their oral insulin (ORMD0801) modality and to demonstrate its safety and efficacy. Our studies have confirmed the feasibility of lowering blood glucose levels with an orally administered form of insulin that is both safe and effective.
 
Our technology is a platform that has the potential to deliver medications and vaccines orally that today can only be delivered via injection.
 
Diabetes: Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that causes sugar to be absorbed into cells, where the sugar is converted into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes is attributed both to genetics (type 1 diabetes) and, most often, to environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise (type 2 diabetes).
 
According to the International Diabetes Federation ("IDF"), an estimated 285 million people worldwide currently live with diabetes. In the United States there are approximately 26.8 million people with diabetes, or 8.7% of the United States population. The IDF predicts that the number of people worldwide with diabetes will exceed 435 million in 2030 if the current rate of growth continues unchecked.
 
Diabetes now affects seven percent of the world’s adult population and claims four million lives every year. The disease is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and amputation. Diabetes will cost the world economy at least $376 billion in 2010, or 11.6% of total world healthcare expenditure. By 2030, this number is projected to exceed $490 billion. More than 80% of diabetes spending is in the world’s richest countries and not in the poorer countries, where over 70% of people with diabetes now live.
 
The regions with the highest comparative prevalence rates are North America, where 10.2% of the adult population has diabetes, followed by the Middle East and North Africa region with 9.3%. The regions with the highest number of people living with diabetes are Western Pacific, where some 77 million people have diabetes and South East Asia with 59 million.
 
Each year seven million people develop diabetes.  The most dramatic increases in type 2 diabetes have occurred in populations where there have been rapid and major improvements in living standards, demonstrating the important role played by lifestyle factors and the potential for reversing the global epidemic.

Intellectual Property: We own a portfolio of patents and patent applications covering our technologies and we are aggressively protecting these technology developments on a worldwide basis.
 
Management: We are led by a highly-experienced management team knowledgeable in the treatment of diabetes. Our Chief Medical and Technology Officer, Miriam Kidron, PhD, is a world-recognized pharmacologist and a biochemist and the innovator primarily responsible for our Oral Insulin technology development and know-how.
 
Scientific Advisory Board: Our management team has access to our internationally recognized Scientific Advisory Board whose members are thought-leaders in their respective areas. The Advisory Board comprises of Dr. Nir Barzilai, Professor Ele Ferrannini, Professor Avram Hershko, Dr. Derek LeRoith and Dr. John Amatruda.
 
Strategy
 
We plan to continue to conduct clinical trials to show the effectiveness of our technology.  We intend to conduct studies and other tests necessary to file an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Additional clinical trials are planned in other countries such as Israel, India and South Africa, in order to substantiate our results as well as for purposes of future filings for drug approval in these countries. We also plan to conduct further research and development by deploying our proprietary drug delivery technology for the delivery of other polypeptides in addition to insulin, and to develop other innovative pharmaceutical products, flu vaccines, and use of rectal application for delivery of other polypeptides.
 
If our oral insulin capsule or other drug delivery solutions show significant promise in clinical trials, we plan to ultimately seek a strategic commercial partner, or partners, with extensive experience in the development, commercialization, and marketing of insulin applications and/or other orally digestible drugs. We anticipate such partner or partners would be responsible for, or substantially support, late stage clinical trials (Phase III) to ensure regulatory approvals and registrations in the appropriate markets in a timely manner. We further anticipate that such partner, or partners, would also be responsible for sales and marketing of our oral insulin capsule in these markets. Such planned strategic partnership, or partnerships, may provide a marketing and sales infrastructure for our products as well as financial and operational support for global clinical trials, post marketing studies, label expansions and other regulatory requirements concerning future clinical development in the United States and elsewhere. Any future strategic partner, or partners, may also provide capital and expertise that would enable the partnership to develop new oral dosage form for other polypeptides. While our strategy is to partner with an appropriate party, no assurance can be given that any third party would be interested in partnering with us. Under certain circumstances, we may determine to develop one or more of our oral dosage form on our own, either world-wide or in select territories.
 
In addition to developing our own oral dosage form drug portfolio, we are, on an on-going basis, considering in-licensing and other means of obtaining additional technologies to complement and/or expand our current product portfolio. Our goal is to create a well-balanced product portfolio that will enhance and complement our existing drug portfolio.
 
Product Development
 
Orally Ingestible Insulin: During fiscal year 2007 we conducted several clinical studies of our orally ingestible insulin. The studies were intended to assess both the safety/tolerability and absorption properties of our proprietary oral insulin. Based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacologic outcomes of these trials, we decided to continue the development of our oral insulin product.
 
On November 15, 2007, we successfully completed animal studies in preparation for the Phase 1B clinical trial of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801).  On January 22, 2008, we commenced the non-FDA approved Phase 1B clinical trials with our oral insulin capsule, in healthy human volunteers with the intent of dose optimization.  On March 11, 2008, we successfully completed our Phase 1B clinical trials.
 
On April 13, 2008, we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 2A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) in type 2 diabetic volunteers at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. On August 6, 2008, we announced the successful results of this trial.

In July 2008 we were granted approval by the Institutional Review Board Committee of Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem to conduct a non-FDA approved Phase 2A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) on type 1 diabetic volunteers. On September 24, 2008, we announced the beginning of this trial. On July 21, 2009 we reported positive results from this trial.
 
On April 21, 2009, we entered into a consulting service agreement with ADRES Advanced Regulatory Services Ltd. (“ADRES”), pursuant to which ADRES will provide services for the purpose of filing an IND application with the FDA for a Phase 2 study according to the FDA requirements. The FDA approval process and, if approved, registration for commercial use as an oral drug can take several years.
 
In May 2009, we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 2B study in South Africa to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) on type 2 diabetic volunteers. On May 6, 2010, we reported that the capsule was found to be well tolerated and exhibited a positive safety profile. No cumulative adverse effects were reported throughout this first study of extended exposure to the capsule. We are considering whether and when to conduct an additional non-FDA approved Phase 2B study in India.
 
Rectal Application of Insulin and Other Polypeptides: We filed two additional provisional patents for a suppository application to our technology portfolio. The first patent focuses on a rectal application for insulin. The second patent focuses on the usage of this rectal application to other polypeptides that at present are only available in injection.
 
On January 30, 2008, we entered into a master service agreement with OnQ Consulting; a clinical research organization located in Johannesburg, South Africa, to conduct non FDA approved clinical trials for the rectal application of insulin.  On February 4, 2009, we announced that we had concluded a proof of concept study of the insulin suppositories.
 
On October 23, 2008 we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 1A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our insulin suppository (ORMD 0802) on healthy volunteers, in South Africa.
 
As we believe that the potential commercial market for our oral insulin products are significantly greater than the potential commercial market for our rectal application products, we have determined to use our limited resources to research and develop our oral insulin capsules and tablets and have temporarily suspended our development of our recital application products.
 
GLP1 Analog: On September 16, 2008 we announced the launch of pre-clinical trials of ORMD 0901, a GLP1-analog.  The pre-clinical trials include animal studies which suggest that the GLP-1analog (exenatide -4) when combined with Oramed’s absorption promoters is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and retains its biological activity.
 
On September 9, 2009, we received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in Israel to commence human clinical trials of an oral GLP-1 Analog. The approval was granted after successful pre-clinical results were reported. The trials will be conducted on healthy volunteers at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem. We anticipate that the results of these trials will be released in the near future.
 
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone - a type of gastrointestinal hormone that stimulates the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. The incretin concept was hypothesized when it was noted surprisingly that glucose ingested by mouth (oral) stimulated two to three times more insulin release than the same amount of glucose administered intravenously. In addition to stimulating insulin release, GLP-1 was found to suppress glucagon release (hormone involved in regulation of glucose) from the pancreas, slow gastric emptying to reduce the rate of absorption of nutrients into the blood stream, and increase satiety. Other important beneficial attributes of GLP-1 are its effects of increasing the number of beta cells (cells that manufacture and release insulin) in the pancreas and, possibly, protection of the heart.
 
Raw Materials: Our oral insulin capsule is currently manufactured by Swiss Caps AG, under a Clinical Trail Manufacturing Agreement.

 
-3-

 
 

    
On July 5, 2010, the subsidiary of the Company entered into a Manufacturing Supply Agreement (MSA) with Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBH ("sanofi-aventis"). According to the MSA, sanofi-aventis will supply the subsidiary with specified quantities of recombinant human insulin to be used for clinical trials in the USA.

The raw materials required for the manufacturing of the capsule are purchased from third parties, under separate agreements.   We generally depend upon a limited number of suppliers for the raw materials.  Although alternative sources of supply for these materials are generally available, we could incur significant costs and disruptions in changing suppliers.  The termination of our relationships with our suppliers or the failure of these suppliers to meet our requirements for raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Out-licensing technology
 
On June 1, 2010, the subsidiary of the Company Oramed Ltd, entered into an agreement with Laser Detect Systems Ltd. ("Laser Detect"), for the establishment of a new company to be called Entera Bio Ltd. ("Entera"). Under the terms of a license agreement that was entered into at the closing between Oramed and Entera, Oramed will out-license technology to Entera, on an exclusive basis, for the development of oral delivery drugs for certain indications to be agreed upon between the parties.  The out-licensed technology differs from our main delivery technology that is used for oral insulin and GLP1 Analog and is subject to a different patent application. Entera's initial development effort will be an oral formulation for the treatment of osteoporosis.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.  You should consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus before making an investment decision.  Our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected as a result of any of the following risks.  The value of our securities could decline as a result of any of these risks.  You could lose all or part of your investment in our securities. Some of the statements in “Risk Factors” are forward looking statements.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
There is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our financial statements were prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We estimate that our cash reserves will not be sufficient to permit us to continue at our anticipated level of operations for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2011. During 2011, we plan to increase research and development, product development, and administrative expenses relating to our business, including expenses related to research and development related to our oral delivery platform. We intend to use our cash reserves, as well as other funds in the event that they shall become available on commercially reasonable terms, to finance these activities and other activities described herein, although we can provide no assurance that these additional funds will be available in the amounts or at the times we may require. If sufficient capital is not available, we would likely be required to scale back or terminate our research and development efforts.  See “Risk Factors — We will need substantial additional capital in order to satisfy our business objectives.”
 
We will need substantial additional capital in order to satisfy our business objectives.
 
To date, we have financed our operations principally through offerings of securities exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We believe that our available resources and cash flow will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital needs for a minimum of six months from the date of this prospectus. We estimate that we will require substantial additional financing at various intervals in order to continue our research and development programs, including significant requirements for operating expenses including intellectual property protection and enforcement, for pursuit of regulatory approvals, and for commercialization of our products. We can provide no assurance that additional funding will be available on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to us, or at all.  In the event that we are unable to obtain such financing, we will not be able to fully develop and commercialize our technology. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including:
 
·           continued scientific progress in our research and development programs;
 
·           costs and timing of conducting clinical trials and seeking regulatory approvals and patent prosecutions;
 
·           competing technological and market developments;
 
·           our ability to establish additional collaborative relationships; and
 
·           effects of commercialization activities and facility expansions if and as required.
 
If we cannot secure adequate financing when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of our research and development programs or to enter into license or other arrangements with third parties to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to develop ourselves and commercialize ourselves. In such event, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected as we may be required to scale-back, eliminate, or delay development efforts or product introductions or enter into royalty, sales or other agreements with third parties in order to commercialize our products.
 
We are a development stage company with a history of losses and can provide no assurance as to our future operating results.
 
We are a development stage company with no revenues from our research and development activities. Consequently, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows since inception. We currently have no product revenues, and may not succeed in developing or commercializing any products which could generate product or licensing revenues. We do not expect to have any products on the market for several years. In addition, development of our product candidates requires a process of pre-clinical and clinical testing, during which our products could fail. We may not be able to enter into agreements with one or more companies experienced in the manufacturing and marketing of therapeutic drugs and, to the extent that we are unable to do so, we will not be able to market our product candidates.  Eventual profitability will depend on our success in developing, manufacturing, and marketing our product candidates. As of May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009 and 2008, we had working capital of $1,766,915, $2,805,733 and $4,483,940, respectively, and stockholders’ equity of $1,682,133, $2,746,192 and $4,593,060, respectively. We generated no revenues to date. For the period from our inception on April 12, 2002 through May 31, 2010, the nine month period ended May 31, 2010 and the year ended August 31, 2009, we incurred net losses of $(11,819,901), $(1,811,223), and $(2,760,474), respectively.  We may never achieve profitability and expect to incur net losses in the foreseeable future. See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

We rely upon patents to protect our technology. We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be liable for infringing the intellectual property rights of others.
 
Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies. We currently hold several pending patent applications in the United States for our technologies covering oral administration of insulin and other proteins, rectal application for insulin, and oral administration of exenatides and proteins, and corresponding patent applications filed in Israel, South Africa and India. Further, we intend to rely on a combination of trade secrets and non-disclosure, and other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect our rights in our technology. We intend to depend upon confidentiality agreements with our officers, directors, employees, consultants, and subcontractors, as well as collaborative partners, to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology. These measures may not afford us sufficient or complete protection, and others may independently develop technology similar to ours, otherwise avoid our confidentiality agreements, or produce patents that would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. We believe that our technology is not subject to any infringement actions based upon the patents of any third parties; however, our technology may in the future be found to infringe upon the rights of others. Others may assert infringement claims against us, and if we should be found to infringe upon their patents, or otherwise impermissibly utilize their intellectual property, our ability to continue to use our technology could be materially restricted or prohibited. If this event occurs, we may be required to obtain licenses from the holders of this intellectual property, enter into royalty agreements, or redesign our products so as not to utilize this intellectual property, each of which may prove to be uneconomical or otherwise impossible. Licenses or royalty agreements required in order for us to use this technology may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. These claims could result in litigation, which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
The patent position of biopharmaceutical and biotechnology firms is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. We do not know whether any of our current or future patent applications will result in the issuance of any patents. Even issued patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Patents may not provide a competitive advantage or afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Competitors or potential competitors may have filed applications for, or may have received patents and may obtain additional and proprietary rights to compounds or processes used by or competitive with ours. In addition, laws of certain foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
 
Patent litigation is becoming widespread in the biopharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and we cannot predict how this will affect our efforts to form strategic alliances, conduct clinical testing or manufacture and market any products under development. If challenged, our patents may not be held valid. We could also become involved in interference proceedings in connection with one or more of our patents or patent applications to determine priority of invention. If we become involved in any litigation, interference or other administrative proceedings, we will likely incur substantial expenses and the efforts of our technical and management personnel will be significantly diverted. In addition, an adverse determination could subject us to significant liabilities or require us to seek licenses that may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We may be restricted or prevented from manufacturing and selling our products in the event of an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or if we fail to obtain necessary licenses.
 
Our commercial success will also depend significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties. Patent applications are, in many cases, maintained in secrecy until patents are issued. The publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature frequently occurs substantially later than the date on which the underlying discoveries were made and patent applications are filed. In the event of infringement or violation of another party's patent, we may be prevented from pursuing product development or commercialization.  See “Business—Patents and Licenses.

At present, our success depends primarily on the successful commercialization of the oral insulin capsule.
 
The successful commercialization of oral insulin capsule is crucial for our success. At present, our principal product is the oral insulin capsule.  Our oral insulin capsule is in a very early stage of clinical development and faces a variety of risks and uncertainties. Principally, these risks include the following:
 
·           future clinical trial results may show that the oral insulin capsule is not well tolerated by recipients at its effective doses or is not efficacious as compared to placebo;
 
·           future clinical trial results may be inconsistent with previous preliminary testing results and data from our earlier studies may be inconsistent with clinical data;
 
·           even if our oral insulin capsule is shown to be safe and effective for its intended purposes, we may face significant or unforeseen difficulties in obtaining or manufacturing sufficient quantities or at reasonable prices;
 
·           our ability to complete the development and commercialization of the oral insulin capsule for our intended use is significantly dependent upon our ability to obtain and maintain experienced and committed partners to assist us with obtaining clinical and regulatory approvals for, and the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of, the oral insulin capsule on a worldwide basis;
 
·           even if our oral insulin capsule is successfully developed, commercially produced and receive all necessary regulatory approvals, there is no guarantee that there will be market acceptance of the products; and
 
·           our competitors may develop therapeutics or other treatments which are superior or less costly than our own with the result that our products, even if they are successfully developed, manufactured and approved, may not generate significant revenues.
 
If we are unsuccessful in dealing with any of these risks, or if we are unable to successfully commercialize our oral insulin capsule for some other reason, it would likely seriously harm our business.
 
We have limited experience in conducting clinical trials.
 
Clinical trials must meet FDA and foreign regulatory requirements. We have limited experience in designing, conducting and managing the preclinical studies and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval for our  product candidates in any country.  We have entered into agreements with Hadasit Medical Center, ETI Karle Clinical Pvt, Ltd., and OnQ Consulting to assist us in designing, conducting and managing our various clinical trials in Israel, South Africa, and India, respectively, as more fully described in “Description Business – Partnerships and Collaborative Agreements.”  Any failure of such consultants to fulfill their obligations could result in significant additional costs as well as delays in designing, consulting and completing clinical trials on our products.
 
Notwithstanding the assistance of such consultants, we may encounter problems in clinical trials that may cause us or the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies to delay, suspend or terminate our clinical trials at any phase.  These problems could include the possibility that we may not be able to conduct clinical trials at our preferred sites, enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials at one or more sites or begin or successfully complete clinical trials in a timely fashion, if at all. Furthermore, we, the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies may suspend clinical trials at any time if we or they believe the subjects participating in the trials are being exposed to unacceptable health risks or if we or they find deficiencies in the clinical trial process or conduct of the investigation.  If clinical trials of any of the product candidates fail, we will not be able to market the product candidate which is the subject of the failed clinical trials.  The FDA and foreign regulatory agencies could also require additional clinical trials, which would result in increased costs and significant development delays.  Our failure to adequately demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a pharmaceutical product candidate under development could delay or prevent regulatory approval of the product candidate and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
We can provide no assurance that our products will obtain regulatory approval or that the results of clinical studies will be favorable.
 
The testing, marketing and manufacturing of any of our products will require the approval of the FDA or regulatory agencies of other countries. We have completed certain non-FDA clinical trials and pre-clinical trials for our products but have yet to conduct any FDA approved trials. We have retained Advanced Regulatory Services Ltd. to assist us in the preparation of an IND Application with the FDA to conduct an FDA approved Phase 2 study on our oral insulin capsule product but no application has yet been filed.

We cannot predict with any certainty the amount of time necessary to obtain regulatory approvals, including from the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities, and whether any such approvals will ultimately be granted. In any event, review and approval by the regulatory bodies is anticipated to take a number of years. Preclinical and clinical trials may reveal that one or more of our products are ineffective or unsafe, in which event further development of such products could be seriously delayed or terminated.  Moreover, obtaining approval for certain products may require the testing on human subjects of substances whose effects on humans are not fully understood or documented.  Delays in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals of any proposed product and failure to receive such approvals would have an adverse effect on the product’s potential commercial success and on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.  In addition, it is possible that a product may be found to be ineffective or unsafe due to conditions or facts which arise after development has been completed and regulatory approvals have been obtained.  In this event we may be required to withdraw such product from the market. See “Business – Governmental Regulation.”
 
We are dependent upon third party suppliers of our raw materials.
 
We are dependent on outside vendors for our entire supply of the oral insulin capsule. While we believe that there are numerous sources of supply available, if the third party suppliers were to cease production or otherwise fail to supply us with quality raw materials in sufficient quantities on a timely basis and we were unable to contract on acceptable terms for these services with alternative suppliers, our ability to produce our products and to conduct testing and clinical trials would be materially adversely affected
 
We are highly dependent upon our ability to enter into agreements with collaborative partners to develop, commercialize, and market our products.
 
Our long-term strategy is to ultimately seek a strategic commercial partner, or partners, such as large pharmaceutical companies, with extensive experience in the development, commercialization, and marketing of insulin applications and/or other orally digestible drugs. We anticipate such partner or partners would be responsible for, or substantially support, late stage clinical trials (Phase III) and sales and marketing of our oral insulin capsule and other products. Such planned strategic partnership, or partnerships, may provide a marketing and sales infrastructure for our products as well as financial and operational support for global clinical trials, post marketing studies, label expansions and other regulatory requirements concerning future clinical development in the United States and elsewhere.
 
While our strategy is to partner with an appropriate party, no assurance can be given that any third party would be interested in partnering with us.  We currently lack the resources to manufacture any of our product candidates on a large scale and we have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities.  In the event we are not able to enter into a collaborative agreement with a partner or partners, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we may be unable to commercialize our products, which would have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition.  We may be unable to compete with more substantial enterprises.
 
The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition. As a result, our products could become obsolete before we recoup any portion of our related research and development and commercialization expenses. These industries are highly competitive, and this competition comes both from biotechnology firms and from major pharmaceutical and chemical companies.  Many of these companies have substantially greater financial, marketing, and human resources than we do (including, in some cases, substantially greater experience in clinical testing, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceutical products).  We also experience competition in the development of our products from universities and other research institutions and compete with others in acquiring technology from such universities and institutions. In addition, certain of our products may be subject to competition from products developed using other technologies.  See “Business – Competition”.
 
We have limited senior management resources and may be required to obtain more resources to manage our growth.
 
We expect the expansion of our business to place a significant strain on our limited managerial, operational, and financial resources. We will be required to expand our operational and financial systems significantly and to expand, train, and manage our work force in order to manage the expansion of our operations. Our failure to fully integrate our new employees into our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel is critical to our operations and expansion. We face competition for these types of personnel from other technology companies and more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations and greater financial, technical, human, and other resources than we have. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all. If we are not successful in attracting and retaining these personnel, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business – Strategy” and “Business—Employees.

We depend upon our senior management and skilled personnel and their loss or unavailability could put us at a competitive disadvantage.
 
We currently depend upon the efforts and abilities of our senior executives, as well as the services of several key consultants and other key personnel, including Dr. Miriam Kidron, our Chief Medical and Technology Officer. The loss or unavailability of the services of any of these individuals for any significant period of time could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.  We do not maintain “keyman” life insurance policies for any of our senior executives.  In addition, recruiting and retaining qualified scientific personnel to perform future research and development work will be critical to our success. There is currently a shortage of employees with expertise in developing, manufacturing and commercialization of products and related clinical and regulatory affairs, and this shortage is likely to continue. Competition for skilled personnel is intense and turnover rates are high. Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel may be limited.  Our inability to attract and retain qualified skilled personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Fulfilling our obligations incident to being a public company will be expensive and time consuming.
 
As a public company, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC, requires us to implement additional corporate governance practices and adhere to a variety of reporting requirements and complex accounting rules. Compliance with these public company obligations increases our legal and financial compliance costs and place significant additional demands on our finance and accounting staff and on our financial, accounting and information systems.
 
We became a publicly traded company through the acquisition of a public shell company, and we could be liable for unanticipated claims or liabilities as a result thereof.
 
We were originally incorporated on April 12, 2002 as an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We were unsuccessful in implementing its business plan as a mineral exploration company and became a public shell company.  On May 27, 2004, we executed a share exchange with the shareholders of Integrated Security Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey private corporation (“ISTI”).  However, due to disappointing results, on May 31, 2005, effective as of May 27, 2004 we terminated the share exchange agreement with the shareholders of ISTI, and we again became a public shell company.  We remained a public shell company until March 8, 2006, when we became a pharmaceutical company engaged in the development of innovative pharmacological solutions.
 
We face substantial risks associated with being a former public shell company, including absence of accurate or adequate public information concerning the public shell company; undisclosed liabilities; improper accounting; claims or litigation from former officers, directors, employees or stockholders; contractual obligations; and regulatory requirements.   Although management performed due diligence on us, there can be no assurance that such risks do not occur. The occurrence of any such risk could materially adversely affect our financial condition.
 
Our new subsidiary, Entera Ltd., may not be successful
 
Our transaction with Laser Detect, Entera Ltd., may not realize all of its intended benefits. In connection with Entera
 
·
we may be required to contribute additional funds to Entera to enable its continued operations;
 
·
we may have difficulties in retaining key employees who are necessary to manage the new company; and
 
·
there can be no assurance that Entera’s operations will ever result in profits that are distributed to us as shareholders.
Moreover, because Entera is a 50/50 company, we do not have complete control over its operations, including business decisions which may impact Entera’s profitability.

Healthcare policy changes, including pending proposals to reform the U.S. healthcare system, may harm our future business.
 
Healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decade. There have been and continue to be proposals by legislators, regulators and third-party payors to keep these costs down. Certain proposals, if passed, would impose limitations on the prices we will be able to charge for the products that we are developing, or the amounts of reimbursement available for these products from governmental agencies or third-party payors. These limitations could in turn reduce the amount of revenues that we will be able to generate in the future from sales of our products and licenses of our technology.
 
Recently, the United States Congress enacted and President Obama signed into law healthcare reform legislation that may significantly impact the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to requiring most individuals to have health insurance and establishing new regulations on health plans, this legislation will require discounts under the Medicare drug benefit program and increased rebates on drugs covered by Medicaid. In addition, the legislation imposes an annual fee, which will increase annually, on sales by branded pharmaceutical manufacturers starting in 2011. The financial impact of these discounts, increased rebates and fees and the other provisions of the legislation on our business is unclear and there can be no assurance that our business will not be materially adversely affected. In addition, these and other ongoing initiatives in the United States have  increased and will continue to increase pressure on drug pricing. The announcement or adoption of any such initiative could have an adverse effect on potential revenues from any product that we may successfully develop.
 
Various healthcare reform proposals have also emerged at the state level. We cannot predict what healthcare initiatives, if any, will be implemented at the federal or state level, or the effect any future legislation or regulation will have on us. However, an expansion in government’s role in the U.S. healthcare industry may lower the future revenues for the products we are developing and adversely affect our future business, possibly materially.
 
Risks Related to our Common Stock
 
As the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, this may make it difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock when you want or at prices you find attractive.
 
The price of our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB and constantly changes. In recent years, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue to fluctuate. These fluctuations may result from a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
 
 
·
Clinical trial results and the timing of the release of such results,
 
 
·
The amount of cash resources and ability to obtain additional funding,
 
 
·
Announcements of research activities, business developments, technological innovations or new products by companies or their competitors,
 
 
·
Entering into or terminating strategic relationships,
 
 
·
Changes in government regulation,
 
 
·
Departure of key personnel,
 
 
·
Disputes concerning patents or proprietary rights,
 
 
·
Changes in expense level,
 
 
·
Future sales of our equity or equity-related securities,
 
 
·
Public concern regarding the safety, efficacy or other aspects of the products or methodologies being developed,
 
 
·
Activities of various interest groups or organizations,
 
 
·
Media coverage, and
 
 
·
Status of the investment markets.

Future sales of common stock or the issuance of securities senior to our common stock or convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, our common stock could materially adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, and our ability to raise funds in new equity offerings.
 
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or other equity-related securities in the public market or privately, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or other equity-related securities.  We anticipate that we will need to raise capital though offerings of equity and equity related securities.  We can make no prediction as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of our common stock or equity-related securities, or the availability of shares of common stock for future sale, will have on the trading price of our common stock.
 
If our common stock is deemed to be a “penny stock,” it may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements. Low-priced stocks are sometimes the subject of fraud and abuse.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, has adopted regulations that generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions, such as if the issuer of the security has net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000. The market price of our common stock is currently less than $5.00 per share, although our net tangible assets as of August 31, 2009 exceeded $2,000,000.  Therefore, our common stock is not currently a “penny stock” according to SEC rules, although it was a "penny stock" in the past. Designation as a "penny stock" requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser, furnish the customer a document describing the risks of investing in penny stocks and send monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell penny stocks.
 
You should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These could affect low-priced stocks, such as ours, even if they do not qualify as "penny stocks" under the SEC rules.  Such patterns include:
  
 
·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers;
 
 
·
“Boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics;
 
 
·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales;
 
 
·
The release of misleading information;
 
 
·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
 
 
·
Dumping of securities by broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, which hurts the price of the stock and causes investors to suffer loss.
  
We are aware of the abuses that have occurred in the market for low-priced stocks. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, we will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent such abuses with respect to our common stock.
 
Future sales of our common stock by our existing stockholders could adversely affect our stock price.
 
The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market, or the perception that these sales could occur.  These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. As of August 24, 2010, we have outstanding 57,565,321 shares of common stock.  This prospectus relates to 29,864,799 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders and 4,382,503 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and options held by the selling stockholders.
 
Our issuance of warrants and options to investors, employees and consultants may have a negative effect on the trading prices of our common stock as well as a dilutive effect.
 
We have issued and may continue to issue warrants, options and convertible notes at, above or below the current market price. As of August 24, 2010, we had outstanding 14,984,897 warrants and options (15,194,897 as of May 31, 2010 and 18,017,697 as of August 31, 2009). In addition to the dilutive effect of a large number of shares and a low exercise price for the warrants and options, there is a potential that a large number of underlying shares may be sold in the open market at any given time, which could place downward pressure on the trading of our common stock.

Because we will not pay cash dividends, investors may have to sell shares in order to realize their investment.
 
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Any credit agreements which we may enter into with institutional lenders or otherwise may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and any other factors that our board of directors decides is relevant. See “Market Price and Dividends” and “Description of Common Stock”.
 
Our shares of common stock are not listed for trading on a national securities exchange.
 
Our common stock currently trades on the OTCBB and is not listed for trading on any national securities exchange. Investments in securities trading on the OTCBB are generally less liquid than investments in securities trading on a national securities exchange. The failure of our shares to be approved for trading on a national securities exchange may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.
 
Risks Related to Conducting Business in Israel
 
We are affected by the political, economic, and military risks of locating our principal operations in Israel.
 
Our operations are located in the State of Israel, and we are directly affected by political, economic, and security conditions in that country. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors. In addition, since December 1987, the State of Israel has experienced severe civil unrest primarily in the areas that came under its control in 1967. No prediction can be made as to whether these problems will be resolved. Our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if major hostilities involving Israel should occur or if trade between Israel and its current trading partners is interrupted or curtailed.
 
All adult male permanent residents of Israel, unless exempt, may be required to perform military reserve duty annually.  Additionally, all such residents are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of our officers, directors, and employees currently are obligated to perform annual military reserve duty. We can provide no assurance that such requirements will not have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations in the future, particularly if emergency circumstances occur.
 
Because all of our officers and directors are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, you may have no effective recourse against our management for misconduct.
 
All of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against any of our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any U.S. state. Additionally, it may be difficult to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities law in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim.  In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim.  If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process.  Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock being offered for sale by the selling stockholders. However, we may receive up to approximately $3.3 million in proceeds upon exercise of the warrants and options held by the selling stockholders, as the warrants and options have an average exercise price of $0.74 per share and are exercisable into 4,382,503 shares of our common stock.  None of the selling stockholders have presently advised us of their intention to exercise any warrants or options at this time. All potential proceeds will be used for the research and development of our products and for general working capital purposes. We will incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.  Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
 
Overview of Operations
 
We are a pharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule or tablet to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, rectal application of insulin, orally ingestible capsules, tablets or pills for delivery of other polypeptides and use of rectal application of other polypeptides.
 
Short Term Business Strategy
 
We plan to conduct further research and development on the technology covered by the patent application "Methods and Composition for Oral Administration of Proteins", which we acquired from Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd., as well as the other patents we have filed since.  Through our research and development efforts, we are seeking to develop an oral dosage form that will withstand the harsh chemical environment of the stomach or intestines and will be effective in delivering active insulin for the treatment of diabetes. The enzymes and vehicles that are added to the insulin in the formulation process must not modify chemically or biologically the insulin and the dosage form must be safe to ingest. We plan to continue to conduct clinical trials to show the effectiveness of our technology.  We intend to conduct the clinical trials necessary to file an IND application with the FDA. Additional clinical trials are planned in other countries such as Israel, India and South Africa, in order to substantiate our results as well as for purposes of making future filings for drug approval in these countries. We also plan to conduct further research and development by deploying our proprietary drug delivery technology for the delivery of other polypeptides in addition to insulin, and to develop other innovative pharmaceutical products, including an insulin suppository and use of rectal application for delivery of other polypeptides.
 
Long Term Business Strategy
 
If our oral insulin capsule or other drug delivery solutions show significant promise in clinical trials, we plan to ultimately seek a strategic commercial partner, or partners, with extensive experience in the development, commercialization, and marketing of insulin applications and/or other orally digestible drugs. We anticipate such partner or partners would be responsible for, or substantially support, late stage clinical trials (Phase III) to ensure regulatory approvals and registrations in the appropriate markets in a timely manner. We further anticipate that such partner, or partners, would also be responsible for sales and marketing of our oral insulin capsule in these markets. Such planned strategic partnership, or partnerships, may provide a marketing and sales infrastructure for our products as well as financial and operational support for global clinical trials, post marketing studies, label expansions and other regulatory requirements concerning future clinical development in the United States and elsewhere. Any future strategic partner, or partners, may also provide capital and expertise that would enable the partnership to develop new oral dosage form for other polypeptides. While our strategy is to partner with an appropriate party, no assurance can be given that any third party would be interested in partnering with us. Under certain circumstances, we may determine to develop one or more of our oral dosage form on our own, either world-wide or in select territories.
 
Other Planned Strategic Activities
 
In addition to developing our own oral dosage form drug portfolio, we are, on an on-going basis, considering in-licensing and other means of obtaining additional technologies to complement and/or expand our current product portfolio. Our goal is to create a well-balanced product portfolio that will enhance and complement our existing drug portfolio.

Results of Operations
 
Going concern assumption
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have net losses for the period from inception (April 12, 2002) through May 31, 2010 of $11,819,901, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities. Based upon our existing spending plans, estimated at $6.6 million for the twelve months following June 1, 2010, and our cash availability, we do not have sufficient cash resources to meet our liquidity requirements through May 31, 2011. The ongoing global economic and credit crisis makes it more difficult for us to raise funds.  Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as we will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.
 
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.
 
Critical accounting policies
 
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Valuation of options and warrants: We granted options to purchase shares of our common stock to employees and consultants and issued warrants in connection with fund raising.
 
We account for share based payments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires awards classified as equity awards be accounted for using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. We estimated forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions.
 
We elected to recognize compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method based on the multiple-option award approach.
 
When stock options are granted as consideration for services provided by consultants and other non-employees, the transaction is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, pursuant to the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” ("EITF 96-18”). The fair value of the options granted is measured on a final basis at the end of the related service period and is recognized over the related service period using the straight-line method.
 
Taxes on income: Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.
 
Regarding the Subsidiary, paragraph 9(f) of FAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, prohibits the recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local currency into dollars using historical exchange rates, and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the abovementioned differences were not reflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

As of September 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax positions; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified on the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim-period guidance, among other provisions. On May 2, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, ‘‘Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48-1’’ (‘‘FSP FIN 48-1’’). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance regarding how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits.

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

 
-18-

 
 
Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. We outsource a substantial portion of our clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as contract research organizations, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist us with the execution of our clinical studies. For each clinical trial that we conduct, certain clinical trial costs are expensed immediately, while others are expensed over time based on the expected total number of patients in the trial, the rate at which patients enter the trial, and the period over which clinical investigators or contract research organizations are expected to provide services.
 
Clinical activities which relate principally to clinical sites and other administrative functions to manage our clinical trials are performed primarily by contract research organizations, or CROs. CROs typically perform most of the start-up activities for our trials, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-study visits, training, and program management.
 
Clinical trial and pre-clinical trial expenses include regulatory and scientific consultants’ compensation and fees, research expenses, purchase of materials, cost of manufacturing of the oral insulin capsules, payments for patient recruitment and treatment, costs related to the maintenance of our registered patents, costs related to the filings of patent applications, as well as salaries and related expenses of research and development staff.
 
In August 2009, Oramed Ltd., our wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, was awarded a government grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 3.1 million (approximately $813,000), from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of Israel, or the OCS. This grant will be used for research and development expenses for the period of February 2009 to January 2010. The grant is subject to repayment according to the terms determined by the OCS and applicable law.  See "—Government Grants" below. The funds will be designated and used by Oramed Ltd. to support further R&D and clinical study of its oral insulin capsule and Oral GLP1-Analog.
 
During the nine months ended May 31, 2010 research and development expenses totaled $833,498, compared to $1,500,809 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The decrease is mainly attributable to grants received from the Office of Chief Scientist of the OCS during the period ended May 31, 2010, in the amount of $450,717 as compared to no grants at all during the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Additional decrease was contributed by a decrease in materials purchased. The research and development costs include stock based compensation costs, which during the nine months ended May 31, 2010 totaled $212,385 as compared to $192,076 during the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The decrease in research and development expenses during the three months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2009 is attributable to the same reasons mentioned above.

Government Grants
 
The Government of Israel encourages research and development projects through the OCS, pursuant to the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1984, as amended, commonly referred to as the “R&D Law”.  Under the R&D Law, a research and development plan that meets specified criteria is eligible for a grant of up to 50% of certain approved research and development expenditures. Each plan must be approved by the OCS.
 
In the nine and three months ended May 31, 2010, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $450,717 and $158,160, respectively. As of May 31, 2010, we had no contingent liabilities to the OCS. In the year ended August 31, 2009, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $400,405.
 
Under the terms of the grants we received from the OCS, we are obligated to pay royalties of 3% to 3.5% on all revenues derived from the sale of the products developed pursuant to the funded plans, including revenues from licenses.  Royalties are payable up to 100% of the amount of such grants, or up to 300% as detailed below, linked to the U.S. Dollar, plus annual interest at LIBOR.
 
The R&D Law generally requires that a product developed under a program be manufactured in Israel. However, upon notification to the OCS, up to 10% of a company’s approved Israeli manufacturing volume, measured on an aggregate basis, may be transferred out of Israel. In addition, upon the approval of the Chief Scientist, a greater portion of the manufacturing volume may be performed outside of Israel, provided that the grant recipient pays royalties at an increased rate, which may be substantial, and the aggregate repayment amount is increased up to 300% of the grant, depending on the portion of the total manufacturing volume that is performed outside of Israel. The R&D Law further permits the OCS, among other things, to approve the transfer of manufacturing rights outside Israel in exchange for an import of different manufacturing into Israel as a substitute, in lieu of the increased royalties. The R&D Law also allows for the approval of grants in cases in which the applicant declares that part of the manufacturing will be performed outside of Israel or by non-Israeli residents and the research committee is convinced that doing so is essential for the execution of the program.  This declaration will be a significant factor in the determination of the OCS whether to approve a program and the amount and other terms of benefits to be granted.  For example, an increased royalty rate and repayment amount might be required in such cases.

 
-19-

 
 
The R&D Law also provides that know-how developed under an approved research and development program may not be transferred to third parties in Israel without the approval of the research committee.  Such approval is not required for the sale or export of any products resulting from such research or development. The R&D Law further provides that the know-how developed under an approved research and development program may not be transferred to any third parties outside Israel, except in certain special circumstances and subject to the OCS’ prior approval. The OCS may approve the transfer of OCS-funded know-how outside Israel, generally in the following cases: (a) the grant recipient pays to the OCS a portion of the sale price paid in consideration for such OCS-funded know-how (according to certain formulas), or (b) the grant recipient receives know-how from a third party in exchange for its OCS-funded know-how, or (c) such transfer of OCS-funded know-how arises in connection with certain types of cooperation in research and development activities.
 
The R&D Law imposes reporting requirements with respect to certain changes in the ownership of a grant recipient.  The law requires the grant recipient and its controlling shareholders and foreign interested parties to notify the OCS of any change in control of the recipient or a change in the holdings of the means of control of the recipient that results in a non-Israeli becoming an interested party directly in the recipient, and requires the new interested party to undertake to the OCS to comply with the R&D Law.  In addition, the rules of the OCS may require additional information or representations in respect of certain such events. For this purpose, “control” is defined as the ability to direct the activities of a company other than any ability arising solely from serving as an officer or director of the company.  A person is presumed to have control if such person holds 50% or more of the means of control of a company.  “Means of control” refers to voting rights or the right to appoint directors or the chief executive officer.  An “interested party” of a company includes a holder of 5% or more of its outstanding share capital or voting rights, its chief executive officer and directors, someone who has the right to appoint its chief executive officer or at least one director, and a company with respect to which any of the foregoing interested parties owns 25% or more of the outstanding share capital or voting rights or has the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors.  Accordingly, any non-Israeli who acquires 5% or more of our ordinary shares will be required to notify the OCS that it has become an interested party and to sign an undertaking to comply with the R&D Law.
 
General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses include the salaries and related expenses of our management, consulting costs, legal and professional fees, traveling, business development costs, insurance expenses and other general costs.
 
For the nine months ended May 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses totaled $981,861 compared to $879,518 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the nine months ended May 31, 2010 reflect mainly an increase in investors and public relations expenses and expenses related to stock options granted to employees and consultants. During the nine months ended May 31, 2010, we incurred $319,943 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $113,195 during the nine months ended May 31, 2009..
 
The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2009 is attributable to the same reasons mentioned above.
 
For the year ended August 31, 2009, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,261,930 compared to $1,469,517 for the year ended August 31, 2008. Costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the year ended August 31, 2009 reflect a decrease of professional, legal and consulting expenses and a decrease in investor relations and public relations expenses. During the year ended August 31, 2009, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $288,338 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $378,113 during the year ended August 31, 2008.
 
Financial income/expense, net
 
During the six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, we generated interest income on available cash and cash equivalents which was offset by bank charges and imputed interest.

 
-20-

 
 
During the year ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, we generated interest income on available cash and cash equivalents, which was offset by bank charges and imputed interest. The decrease in the interest income for the year ended August 31, 2009 as compared with the year ended August 31, 2008 is attributable to the decrease in interest rates in both the United States and the state of Israel.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since inception through May 31, 2010, we incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $11,819,901. We have financed our operations through the private placements of equity and debt financing. Since inception through May 31, 2010, we have financed our operations through the private placements of equity and debt financings, raising a total of $8,308,785, net of transaction costs. We will seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources. As of May 31, 2010, we had $1,134,506 of available cash as well as $500,000 in short term interest bearing investments. We anticipate that we will require approximately $6.6 million to finance our activities during the twelve months following June 1, 2010.
 
Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as we will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders as well as receive additional funding from the OCS.
 
Our recent financing activities include the following:
 
·           On August 3, 2007, we completed a private placement for the sale of 510,000 units at a purchase price of $0.50 per unit for a total consideration of $255,000. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock for a period of 3 years at an exercise price of $0.75.
 
·           On September 7, 2007, we issued 283,025 shares of common stock, valued at $113,210, to a third party for services rendered in the prior year.

OUR BUSINESS
 
General
 
We are a pharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule or tablet to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, rectal application of insulin, orally ingestible capsules, tablets or pills for delivery of other polypeptides and  rectal application of other polypeptides.
 
Oral Insulin: We are seeking to revolutionize the treatment of diabetes through our proprietary flagship product, an orally ingestible insulin capsule (ORMD0801) currently in Phase 2 clinical trials. Our technology allows insulin to travel from the gastrointestinal tract via the portal vein to the bloodstream, revolutionizing the manner in which insulin is delivered. It enables its passage in a more physiological manner than current delivery methods of insulin.
 
Through our research and development efforts, we are developing an oral dosage form that will withstand the harsh chemical environment of the stomach or intestines and will be effective in delivering active insulin for the treatment of diabetes. The proteins and vehicles that are added to the insulin in the formulation process must not modify chemically or biologically, and the insulin and the dosage form must be safe to ingest.
 
Our research and development team has performed numerous animal studies to optimize the composition and functionality of their oral insulin (ORMD0801) modality and to demonstrate its safety and efficacy. Our studies have confirmed the feasibility of lowering blood glucose levels with an orally administered form of insulin that is both safe and effective.
 
Our technology is a platform that has the potential to deliver medications and vaccines orally that today can only be delivered via injection.
 
Diabetes: Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that causes sugar to be absorbed into cells, where the sugar is converted into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes is attributed both to genetics (type 1 diabetes) and, most often, to environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise (type 2 diabetes).
 
According to the International Diabetes Federation ("IDF"), an estimated 285 million people worldwide currently live with diabetes. In the United States there are approximately 26.8 million people with diabetes, or 8.7% of the United States population. The IDF predicts that the number of people worldwide with diabetes will exceed 435 million in 2030 if the current rate of growth continues unchecked.
 
Diabetes now affects seven percent of the world’s adult population and claims four million lives every year. The disease is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and amputation. Diabetes will cost the world economy at least $376 billion in 2010, or 11.6% of total world healthcare expenditure. By 2030, this number is projected to exceed $490 billion. More than 80% of diabetes spending is in the world’s richest countries and not in the poorer countries, where over 70% of people with diabetes now live.
 
The regions with the highest comparative prevalence rates are North America, where 10.2% of the adult population has diabetes, followed by the Middle East and North Africa region with 9.3%. The regions with the highest number of people living with diabetes are Western Pacific, where some 77 million people have diabetes and South East Asia with 59 million.
 
Each year seven million people develop diabetes. The most dramatic increases in type 2 diabetes have occurred in populations where there have been rapid and major improvements in living standards, demonstrating the important role played by lifestyle factors and the potential for reversing the global epidemic.
 
Intellectual Property: We own a portfolio of patents and patent applications covering our technologies and we are aggressively protecting these technology developments on a worldwide basis.
 
Management: We are led by a highly-experienced management team knowledgeable in the treatment of diabetes. Our Chief Medical and Technology Officer, Miriam Kidron, PhD, is a world-recognized pharmacologist and a biochemist and the innovator primarily responsible for our Oral Insulin technology development and know-how.

 
-23-

 
 
Scientific Advisory Board: Our management team has access to our internationally recognized Scientific Advisory Board whose members are thought-leaders in their respective areas. The Advisory Board comprises of Dr. Nir Barzilai, Professor Ele Ferrannini, Professor Avram Hershko, and Dr. Derek LeRoith.
 
Strategy
 
We plan to continue to conduct clinical trials to show the effectiveness of our technology.  We intend to conduct studies and other tests necessary to file an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Additional clinical trials are planned in Israel in order to substantiate our results as well as for purposes of future filings for drug approval. We also plan to conduct further research and development by deploying our proprietary drug delivery technology for the delivery of other polypeptides in addition to insulin, and to develop other innovative pharmaceutical products and flu vaccines.
 
If our oral insulin capsule or other drug delivery solutions show significant promise in clinical trials, we plan to ultimately seek a strategic commercial partner, or partners, with extensive experience in the development, commercialization, and marketing of insulin applications and/or other orally digestible drugs. We anticipate such partner or partners would be responsible for, or substantially support, late stage clinical trials (Phase III) to ensure regulatory approvals and registrations in the appropriate markets in a timely manner. We further anticipate that such partner, or partners, would also be responsible for sales and marketing of our oral insulin capsule in these markets. Such planned strategic partnership, or partnerships, may provide a marketing and sales infrastructure for our products as well as financial and operational support for global clinical trials, post marketing studies, label expansions and other regulatory requirements concerning future clinical development in the United States and elsewhere. Any future strategic partner, or partners, may also provide capital and expertise that would enable the partnership to develop new oral dosage form for other polypeptides. While our strategy is to partner with an appropriate party,no assurance can be given that any third party would be interested in partnering with us. Under certain circumstances, we may determine to develop one or more of our oral dosage form on our own, either world-wide or in select territories.
 
In addition to developing our own oral dosage form drug portfolio, we are, on an on-going basis, considering in-licensing and other means of obtaining additional technologies to complement and/or expand our current product portfolio. Our goal is to create a well-balanced product portfolio that will enhance and complement our existing drug portfolio.
 
Product Development
 
Orally Ingestible Insulin: During fiscal year 2007 we conducted several clinical studies of our orally ingestible insulin. The studies were intended to assess both the safety/tolerability and absorption properties of our proprietary oral insulin. Based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacologic outcomes of these trials, we decided to continue the development of our oral insulin product.
 
On November 15, 2007, we successfully completed animal studies in preparation for the Phase 1B clinical trial of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801).  On January 22, 2008, we commenced the non-FDA approved Phase 1B clinical trials with our oral insulin capsule, in healthy human volunteers with the intent of dose optimization.  On March 11, 2008, we successfully completed our Phase 1B clinical trials.
 
On April 13, 2008, we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 2A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) in type 2 diabetic volunteers at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. On August 6, 2008, we announced the successful results of this trial.
 
In July 2008 we were granted approval by the Institutional Review Board Committee of Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem to conduct a non-FDA approved Phase 2A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) on type 1 diabetic volunteers. On September 24, 2008, we announced the beginning of this trial. On July 21, 2009 we reported positive results from this trial.
 
On April 21, 2009, we entered into a consulting service agreement with ADRES Advanced Regulatory Services Ltd. (“ADRES”), pursuant to which ADRES will provide services for the purpose of filing an IND application with the FDA for a Phase 2 study according to the FDA requirements. We anticipate that we will receive approval or denial to begin our Phase 2 FDA study in the first quarter of 2011. The FDA approval process and, if approved, registration for commercial use as an oral drug can take several years.
 
In May 2009, we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 2B study in South Africa to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) on type 2 diabetic volunteers. On May 6, 2010, we reported that the capsule was found to be well tolerated and exhibited a positive safety profile. No cumulative adverse effects of extended exposure to the capsule were reported throughout this first study..We are considering whether and when to conduct an additional non-FDA approved Phase 2B study in India.

Rectal Application of Insulin and Other Polypeptides: We filed two additional provisional patents for a suppository application to our technology portfolio. The first patent focuses on a rectal application for insulin. The second patent focuses on the usage of this rectal application to other polypeptides that at present are only available in injection.
 
On January 30, 2008, we entered into a master service agreement with OnQ Consulting; a clinical research organization located in Johannesburg, South Africa, to conduct non FDA approved clinical trials for the rectal application of insulin.  On February 4, 2009, we announced that we had concluded a proof of concept study of the insulin suppositories.
 
On October 23, 2008 we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 1A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our insulin suppository (ORMD 0802) on healthy volunteers, in South Africa.
 
As we believe that the potential commercial market for our oral insulin products are significantly greater than the potential commercial market for our rectal application products, we have determined to use our limited resources to research and develop our oral insulin capsules and tablets and have temporarily suspended our development of our recital application products.
 
GLP1 Analog: On September 16, 2008 we announced the launch of pre-clinical trials of ORMD 0901, a GLP1-analog.  The pre-clinical trials include animal studies which suggest that the GLP-1analog (exenatide -4) when combined with Oramed’s absorption promoters is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and retains its biological activity.
 
On September 9, 2009, we received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in Israel to commence human clinical trials of an oral GLP-1 Analog. The approval was granted after successful pre-clinical results were reported. The trials are being conducted on healthy volunteers at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem. We anticipate that the results of these trials will be released in the near future.
 
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone - a type of gastrointestinal hormone that stimulates the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. The incretin concept was hypothesized when it was noted surprisingly that glucose ingested by mouth (oral) stimulated two to three times more insulin release than the same amount of glucose administered intravenously. In addition to stimulating insulin release, GLP-1 was found to suppress glucagon release (hormone involved in regulation of glucose) from the pancreas, slow gastric emptying to reduce the rate of absorption of nutrients into the blood stream, and increase satiety. Other important beneficial attributes of GLP-1 are its effects of increasing the number of beta cells (cells that manufacture and release insulin) in the pancreas and, possibly, protection of the heart.
 
Raw Materials: Our oral insulin capsule is currently manufactured by Swiss Caps AG, under a Clinical Trail Manufacturing Agreement.
 
On July 5, 2010, the subsidiary of the Company entered into a Manufacturing Supply Agreement (MSA) with Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBH ("sanofi-aventis"). According to the MSA, sanofi-aventis will supply the subsidiary with specified quantities of recombinant human insulin to be used for clinical trials in the USA.
 
The raw materials required for the manufacturing of the capsule are purchased from third parties, under separate agreements.  We generally depend upon a limited number of suppliers for the raw materials.  Although alternative sources of supply for these materials are generally available, we could incur significant costs and disruptions in changing suppliers.  The termination of our relationships with our suppliers or the failure of these suppliers to meet our requirements for raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Licensing: We have recently engaged in preliminary discussions with potential partners outside of the United States regarding their management of clinical trials of our oral insulin capsules. Such agreements could involve our granting exclusive commercialization rights and certain profit interests in our products derived from specified geographic areas outside the United States in exchange for payment of the costs of managing such clinical trials. These discussions are in a very early stage, however, and may not result in our entering into any such partnerships.

·           61/071,538,Methods and Compositions for Oral Administration of Exenatide”. The patent application was filed on May 5, 2008.
 
·           61/089,812, Methods and Compositions for Oral Administration of Proteins”. The patent application was filed on August 18, 2008.
 
Consistent with our strategy to seek protection in key markets worldwide, we have been and will continue to pursue the patent applications and corresponding foreign counterparts of such applications.  We believe that our success will depend on our ability to obtain patent protection for our intellectual property.
 
Our patent strategy is as follows:
 
·           Aggressively protect all current and future technological developments to assure strong and broad protection by filing patents and/or continuations in part as appropriate;
 
·           Protect technological developments at various levels, in a complementary manner, including the base technology, as well as specific applications of the technology; and
 
·           Establish comprehensive coverage in the U.S. and in all relevant foreign markets in anticipation of future commercialization opportunities.
 
The validity, enforceability, written supports, and breadth of claims in our patent applications involve complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, may be highly uncertain. No assurance can be given that any patents based on pending patent applications or any future patent applications filed by us will be issued, that the scope of any patent protection will exclude competitors or provide competitive advantages to us, that any of the patents that have been or may be issued to us will be held valid or enforceable if subsequently challenged, or that others will not claim rights in or ownership of the patents and other proprietary rights held or licensed by us. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others have not developed or will not develop similar products, duplicate any of our technology or design around any patents that have been or may be issued to us. Since patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy for the initial period of time following filing, we also cannot be certain that others did not first file applications for inventions covered by our pending patent applications, nor can we be certain that we will not infringe any patents that may be issued to others on such applications.
 
We also rely on trade secrets and unpatentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. Our policy is to require our employees, consultants, contractors, manufacturers, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers, board of directors, technical review board and other advisors to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual's relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific limited circumstances. We also require signed confidentiality or material transfer agreements from any company that is to receive our confidential information. In the case of employees, consultants and contractors, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our company. There can be no assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.

Our success will also depend in part on our ability to commercialize our technology without infringing the proprietary rights of others. No assurance can be given that patents do not exist or could not be filed which would have an adverse affect on our ability to market our technology or maintain our competitive position with respect to our technology. If our technology components, products, processes or other subject matter are claimed under other existing United States or foreign patents or are otherwise protected by third party proprietary rights, we may be subject to infringement actions. In such event, we may challenge the validity of such patents or other proprietary rights or we may be required to obtain licenses from such companies in order to develop, manufacture or market our technology. There can be no assurances that we would be able to obtain such licenses or that such licenses, if available, could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Furthermore, the failure to either develop a commercially viable alternative or obtain such licenses could result in delays in marketing our proposed technology or the inability to proceed with the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses, which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are required to defend ourselves against charges of patent infringement or to protect our proprietary rights against third parties, substantial costs will be incurred regardless of whether we are successful. Such proceedings are typically protracted with no certainty of success. An adverse outcome could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties and force us to curtail or cease our development and commercialization of our technology.

Out-license technology
 
On June 1, 2010, the Company's subsidiary Oramed Ltd, entered into an agreement with Laser Detect Ltd. ("Laser Detect"), an Israeli company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (which later changed its name to "D.N.A. Biomedical Solutions Ltd"), for the establishment of a new company to be called Entera.
 
Under the terms of a license agreement to be entered into at the closing between Oramed and Entera, we will out-license technology to Entera, on an exclusive basis, for the development of oral delivery drugs for certain indications to be agreed upon between the parties.  The out-licensed technology differs from our main delivery technology that is used for oral insulin and GLP 1 Analog and is subject to a different patent applications. Entera's initial development effort will be an oral formulation for the treatment of osteoporosis. The license will be royalty-free unless our ownership interest in Entera decreases to 30% or less of its outstanding share capital, in which case royalties will be payable with respect to revenues derived from indications in excess of the first ten. Under certain circumstances, Entera may receive ownership of the licensed technology, in which case we would receive a license back on the same terms.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Laser Detect will invest $600,000 in Entera, and Entera will be owned in equal parts by Oramed and Laser Detect, subject to dilution by future issuances of shares. Entera's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Phillip Schwartz, will be granted options to purchase ordinary shares of Entera, reflecting 9.9% of the Entera's share capital, immediately following the dilution by these options. In the event that Entera has not obtained third-party financing by June 1, 2011, or such other date mutually agreed upon by the parties, each of Oramed and Laser Detect will be required to make a capital contribution to Entera in the amount of $150,000. The agreement also contains customary provisions with respect to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, drag-along rights, veto rights and information rights.
 
Mr. Zeev Bronfeld, who is one of Laser Detect's controlling shareholders, is a shareholder of Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., holding approximately 10.71% of our outstanding common stock (see "Securities Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management").
 
Government Regulation
 
The Drug Development Process
 
Regulatory requirements for the approval of new drugs vary from one country to another. In order to obtain approval to market our drug portfolio, we need to go through a different regulatory process in each country in which we apply for such approval. In some cases information gathered during the approval process in one country can be used as supporting information for the approval process in another country. The FDA compliance requirements are considered to be one of the most stringent worldwide. The following is a summary of the FDA’s requirements.
 
The FDA requires that pharmaceutical and certain other therapeutic products undergo significant clinical experimentation and clinical testing prior to their marketing or introduction to the general public. Clinical testing, known as clinical trials or clinical studies, is either conducted internally by life science, pharmaceutical, or biotechnology companies or is conducted on behalf of these companies by contract research organizations.
 
The process of conducting clinical studies is highly regulated by the FDA, as well as by other governmental and professional bodies.  Below we describe the principal framework in which clinical studies are conducted, as well as describe a number of the parties involved in these studies.
 
Protocols.  Before commencing human clinical studies, the sponsor of a new drug or therapeutic product must submit an IND application, to the FDA. The application contains what is known in the industry as a protocol.  A protocol is the blueprint for each drug study. The protocol sets forth, among other things, the following:
 
·           who must be recruited as qualified participants;
 
·           how often to administer the drug or product;
 
·           what tests to perform on the participants; and
 
·           what dosage of the drug or amount of the product to give to the participants.

 
-28-

 

Institutional Review Board. An institutional review board is an independent committee of professionals and lay persons which reviews clinical research studies involving human beings and is required to adhere to guidelines issued by the FDA. The institutional review board does not report to the FDA, but its records are audited by the FDA. Its members are not appointed by the FDA. All clinical studies must be approved by an institutional review board. The institutional review board’s role is to protect the rights of the participants in the clinical studies. It approves the protocols to be used, the advertisements which the company or contract research organization conducting the study proposes to use to recruit participants, and the form of consent which the participants will be required to sign prior to their participation in the clinical studies.
 
Clinical Trials.  Human clinical studies or testing of a potential product are generally done in three stages known as Phase I through Phase III testing.  The names of the phases are derived from the regulations of the FDA. Generally, there are multiple studies conducted in each phase.
 
·           Phase I. Phase I studies involve testing a drug or product on a limited number of healthy participants, typically 24 to 100 people at a time. Phase I studies determine a product’s basic safety and how the product is absorbed by, and eliminated from, the body.  This phase lasts an average of six months to a year.
 
·           Phase II. Phase II trials involve testing up to 200 participants at a time who may suffer from the targeted disease or condition. Phase II testing typically lasts an average of one to two years.  In Phase II, the drug is tested to determine its safety and effectiveness for treating a specific illness or condition.  Phase II testing also involves determining acceptable dosage levels of the drug.  If Phase II studies show that a new drug has an acceptable range of safety risks and probable effectiveness, a company will continue to review the substance in Phase III studies.
 
·           Phase III. Phase III studies involve testing large numbers of participants, typically several hundred to several thousand persons. The purpose is to verify effectiveness and long-term safety on a large scale. These studies generally last two to three years. Phase III studies are conducted at multiple locations or sites.  Like the other phases, Phase III requires the site to keep detailed records of data collected and procedures performed.
 
New Drug Approval. The results of the clinical trials are submitted to the FDA as part of a new drug application (“NDA”). Following the completion of Phase III studies, assuming the sponsor of a potential product in the United States believes it has sufficient information to support the safety and effectiveness of its product, it submits an NDA to the FDA requesting that the product be approved for marketing. The application is a comprehensive, multi-volume filing that includes the results of all clinical studies, information about the drug’s composition, and the sponsor’s plans for producing, packaging and labeling the product. The FDA’s review of an application can take a few months to many years, with the average review lasting 18 months.  Once approved, drugs and other products may be marketed in the United States, subject to any conditions imposed by the FDA.
 
Phase IV.  The FDA may require that the sponsor conduct additional clinical trials following new drug approval. The purpose of these trials, known as Phase IV studies, is to monitor long-term risks and benefits, study different dosage levels or evaluate safety and effectiveness.  In recent years, the FDA has increased its reliance on these trials. Phase IV studies usually involve thousands of participants. Phase IV studies also may be initiated by the company sponsoring the new drug to gain broader market value for an approved drug. For example, large-scale trials may also be used to prove effectiveness and safety of new forms of drug delivery for approved drugs. Examples may be using an inhalation spray versus taking tablets or a sustained-release form of medication versus capsules taken multiple times per day.
 
The drug approval process is time-consuming, involves substantial expenditures of resources, and depends upon a number of factors, including the severity of the illness in question, the availability of alternative treatments, and the risks and benefits demonstrated in the clinical trials.
 
Other Regulations
 
Various Federal and state laws, regulations, and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory practices, the experimental use of animals, and the purchase, storage, movement, import, export, use, and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research are applicable to our activities.  They include, among others, the United States Atomic Energy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and Resources Conservation and Recovery Act, national restrictions on technology transfer, import, export, and customs regulations, and other present and possible future local, state, or federal regulation.  The extent of governmental regulation which might result from future legislation or administrative action cannot be accurately predicted.

Competition
 
Competition in General
 
Competition in the area of biomedical and pharmaceutical research and development is intense and significantly depends on scientific and technological factors. These factors include the availability of patent and other protection for technology and products, the ability to commercialize technological developments and the ability to obtain governmental approval for testing, manufacturing and marketing. Our competitors include major pharmaceutical, medical products, chemical and specialized biotechnology companies, many of which have financial, technical and marketing resources significantly greater than ours. In addition, many biotechnology companies have formed collaborations with large, established companies to support research, development and commercialization of products that may be competitive with ours. Academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations are also conducting research activities and seeking patent protection and may commercialize products on their own or through joint ventures. We are aware of certain other products manufactured or under development by competitors that are used for the treatment of the diseases and health conditions that we have targeted for product development. We can provide no assurance that developments by others will not render our technology obsolete or noncompetitive, that we will be able to keep pace with new technological developments or that our technology will be able to supplant established products and methodologies in the therapeutic areas that are targeted by us. The foregoing factors could have a material adverse affect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. These companies, as well as academic institutions, governmental agencies and private research organizations, also compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants.
 
Competition within our sector is increasing, so we will encounter competition from existing firms that offer competitive solutions in diabetes treatment solutions. These competitive companies could develop products that are superior to, or have greater market acceptance, than the products being developed by us. We will have to compete against other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies with greater market recognition and greater financial, marketing and other resources.
 
Our competition will be determined in part by the potential indications for which our technology is developed and ultimately approved by regulatory authorities. In addition, the first product to reach the market in a therapeutic or preventive area is often at a significant competitive advantage relative to later entrants to the market. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we, or our potential corporate partners, can develop products, complete the clinical trials and approval processes and supply commercial quantities of the products to the market are expected to be important competitive factors. Our competitive position will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific and other personnel, develop effective proprietary products, develop and implement production and marketing plans, obtain and maintain patent protection and secure adequate capital resources. We expect our technology, if approved for sale, to compete primarily on the basis of product efficacy, safety, patient convenience, reliability, value and patent position.
 
Competition for our Oral Insulin Capsule
 
We anticipate the oral insulin capsule to be a competitive diabetes drug because of its anticipated efficacy and safety profile. The following are treatment options for type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients:
 
·          Insulin injections;
 
·          Insulin pumps;
 
·          Insulin inhalers; or
 
·          a combination of diet, exercise and oral medication which improve the body's response to insulin or cause the body to produce more insulin.
 
Several entities who are developing oral insulin capsules and other alternative oral insulin as well as the development stage are thought to be: Diabetology (UK, Phase 2), Emisphere Technologies (US, Phase 2), Biocon (India), Apollo Life Sciences (Australia, Phase 1), Generex (Canada, Phase 3) – Buccal delivery, Biodel (US, Phase 3) – Sublingual delivery and MannKind (US) -Inhaled delivery
 
Scientific Advisory Board
 
We maintain a scientific advisory board consisting of internationally recognized scientists who advise us on scientific and technical aspects of our business. The scientific advisory board meets periodically to review specific projects and to assess the value of new technologies and developments to us.  In addition, individual members of the scientific advisory board meet with us periodically to provide advice in particular areas of expertise. The scientific advisory board consists of the following members, information with respect to whom is set forth below: Professor Avram Hershko, Dr. Nir Barzilai, Professor Ele Ferrannini, Dr. Derek LeRoith and Dr. John Amatruda.

Professor Avram Hershko, MD PhD joined the Oramed Scientific Advisory Board in July 2008. He earned his MD degree (1965) and PhD degree (1969) from the Hebrew University- Hadassah Medical School of Jerusalem, a period which included service as a physician in the Israel Defense Forces (1965-67). After a post-doctoral fellowship with Gordon Tomkins at the University of San Francisco (1969-72), he joined the faculty of the Haifa Technion becoming professor in 1980. He is now Distinguished Professor in the Unit of Biochemistry in the B. Rappaport Faculty of Medicine of the Technion. Professor Hershko’s main research interests concern the mechanisms by which cellular proteins are degraded, a formerly neglected field of study. Hershko and his colleagues showed that cellular proteins are degraded by a highly selective proteolytic system. This system tags proteins for destruction by linkage a protein called ubiquitin, which had previously been identified in many tissues, but whose function was previously unknown. Subsequent work in Hershko's and many other laboratories has shown that the ubiquitin system has a vital role in controlling a wide range of cellular processes, such as the regulation of cell division, signal transduction and DNA repair. Professor Hershko was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2004) jointly with his former PhD student Aaron Ciechanover and their colleague Irwin Rose. His many honors include the Israel Prize for Biochemistry (1994), the Gardner Award (1999), the Lasker Prize for Basic Medical Research (2000), the Wolf Prize for Medicine (2001) and the Louisa Gross Horwitz Award (2001). Hershko is a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences (2000) and a Foreign Associate of the US Academy of Sciences (2003).
 
Derek LeRoith MD PhD joined the Oramed Scientific Advisory Board in January 2007. He is currently the Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Diseases at Mt.

Employees
 
We have been successful in retaining the experienced personnel involved in our research and development program. In addition, we believe we have successfully recruited clinical/regulatory, quality assurance and other personnel needed to advance through clinical studies or have engaged the services of experts in the field for these requirements.  As of August 31, 2009, we contracted eight individuals through employment or consulting agreements. Of our staff, two are senior management, four are engaged in research and development work, and the remaining are involved in administration work.
 
Corporate History
 
Oramed was incorporated on April 12, 2002, in the State of Nevada under the name Iguana Ventures Ltd. Following the incorporation, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We were unsuccessful in implementing its business plan as a mineral exploration company. Accordingly, we decided to change the focus of our business by completing a share exchange with the shareholders of Integrated Security Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey private corporation (“ISTI”). On June 4, 2004, we changed our name to Integrated Security Technologies by filing a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State.  Effective June 14, 2004 we effected a 3.3:1 forward stock split, increasing the amount of authorized capital to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with the par value of $.001 per share.  However, due to disappointing results, we terminated the share exchange agreement with the shareholders of ISTI.
 
On March 8, 2006, we executed an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd. (“Hadasit”) to acquire provisional patent application No. 60/718716 and related intellectual property.  The provisional patent application No. 60/718716 relates to a method of preparing insulin so that it may be taken orally to be used in the treatment for the treatment of individuals with diabetes.  On April 10, 2006, we changed our name from Integrated Security Technologies, Inc. to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc.  On August 31, 2006, based on provisional patent application No. 60/718716, we filed a patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty at the Israel Patent Office for “Methods and Compositions for Oral Administration of Proteins.”
 
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 
Our principal executive offices are located in approximately 117 square meters of office space in Givat-Ram, Jerusalem, Israel. The lease commenced on October 1, 2007 and is for a period of 51 months. The aggregate annual base rental for this space is $7,548. We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current business requirements.  In the event that we should require additional or alternative facilities, we believe that such facilities can be obtained on short notice at competitive rates.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Except as otherwise indicated below, during the fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 we have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years , and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holder, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
 
Our policy is to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Based on our experience in the business sectors in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with unaffiliated third parties, we believe that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred. All related parties transactions are approved by our board of directors.
 
On July 14, 2008 we completed a private placement to 29 accredited investors pursuant to which we sold to the investors an aggregate of 8,524,669 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.60 per share, in the aggregate, $5,114,801.  The investors also received three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,262,337 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. We paid $85,000 to Leonard Sank, one of our directors, as a finders fee and issued an aggregate of 143,333 shares of common stock to four other individuals as finders fees in connection with the private placement.
 
On February 17, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Hadasit pursuant to which we agreed to purchase from Hadasit provisional patent application No. 60/718716 and related intellectual property.  Pursuant to the agreement, Hadasit agreed to provide consulting and clinical trial services to us for consideration of $200,000.  Pursuant to a subsequent agreement with Hadasit, dated July 8, 2006, this amount was increased to $400,000.  The clinical trials to be conducted by Hadasit are managed by Dr. Miriam Kidron, then the primary researcher at Hadasit and currently our Chief Medical and Technology Officer and a Director, through its research fund in Hadasit. The fees paid by us to Hadasit are deposited into a Hadasit research account in the name of Dr. Kidron. Pursuant to the general policy of Hadasit with respect to its research funds, Dr. Kidron is entitled to receive a management fee in the rate of 10% of all the funds deposited into this research fund, including the funds paid by us under the said agreements. Since March 2006, only the funds paid by us are deposited in this account.
 
On March 8, 2006, we completed the purchase of provisional patent application No. 60/718716 and related intellectual property from Hadasit and in connection therewith Hadasit was issued 4,141,532 shares of our common stock (which then represented 9.98% of our outstanding voting securities) and Dr. Miriam Kidron was issued options to purchase 3,361,360 shares of our common stock.  In addition, at about the same time as the acquisition, Mr. Zeev Bronfeld was issued 6,158,517 shares of our common stock (which then represented 14.9% of our outstanding voting securities) and Mr. Nadav Kidron, our President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director, was issued 10,371,735 shares of our common stock (which then represented 25% of our outstanding voting securities).  Dr. Miriam Kidron is Mr. Nadav Kidron’s mother.
 
On June 1, 2010, the Company's subsidiary Oramed Ltd, entered into an agreement with Laser Detect Systems Ltd. ("Laser Detect"), for the establishment of a new company to be called Entera Bio Ltd. ("Entera"). Under the terms of a license agreement to be entered into at the closing between Oramed and Entera, Oramed will out-license technology to Entera, on an exclusive basis, for the development of oral delivery drugs for certain indications to be agreed upon between the parties.  The out-licensed technology differs from our main delivery technology that is used for oral insulin and GLP1 Analog and is subject to a different patent application. Entera's initial development effort will be an oral formulation for the treatment of osteoporosis.
 
The board of directors has determined that Leonard Sank, Harold Jacob and Michael Berelowitz are independent as defined under the rules promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market.

On July 14, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain selling stockholders pursuant to which we agreed to sell to such selling stockholders an aggregate of 8,524,669 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.60 per share. Such selling stockholders also received three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,262,337 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share.
 
We are also registering for resale pursuant to this prospectus 1,714,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options held by Mr. Nadav Kidron, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a director.  The options have an average exercise price of $0.495 per share, are fully vested and expire in August 2012 and May 2018.
 
The following table sets forth, for each selling stockholder, the name, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of August 24, 2010 (directly and indirectly via warrants or options), the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of common stock that would be beneficially owned after the sale of the maximum number of shares of common stock.
 
Other than the relationships described below, none of the selling stockholders are employees or suppliers of ours or our affiliates. Within the past three years, other than the relationships described below, none of the selling stockholders has held a position as an officer or director of ours, nor has any selling stockholder had any material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates, except that certain selling stockholders acquired shares of our common stock and warrants pursuant to the transactions described above. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered are being registered to permit public secondary trading of such shares and each selling stockholder may offer all or part of the shares it owns for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, other than the relationships described below, none of the selling stockholders has any family relationships with our officers, directors or controlling stockholders. Furthermore, based on representations made to us by the selling stockholders, no selling stockholder is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer, except for Hargreave Hale Nominees Limited.  The selling stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute their common stock, warrants or options.
 
Any selling stockholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers and any participating broker-dealers are deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such selling stockholder or broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
 
The term “selling stockholders” also includes any transferees, pledgees, donees, or other successors in interest to the selling stockholders named in the table below. Unless otherwise indicated, to our knowledge, each person named in the table below has sole voting and investment power (subject to applicable community property laws) with respect to the shares of common stock set forth opposite such person’s name. We will file a supplement to this prospectus (or a post-effective amendment hereto, if necessary) to name successors to any named selling stockholders who are able to use this prospectus to resell the securities registered hereby.

Registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean, however, that those securities necessarily will be offered or sold.
 
The securities covered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change or at negotiated prices, by a variety of methods including the following:
 
·

·
through broker-dealers, who may act as agents or principals;
 
 
-46-

 

·
through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis;
 
·
in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell a block of securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·
directly to one or more purchasers;
 
·
through agents; or
 
·
in any combination of the above.
 
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealer transactions may include:
 
 
·

·
ordinary brokerage transactions; or
 
 
·
transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers on a best efforts basis.

At any time a particular offer of the securities covered by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents. In addition, to the extent required, any discounts, commissions, concessions and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, as well as any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, will be set forth in such revised prospectus supplement. Any such required prospectus supplement, and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus.

ORAMED PHARMACEUTICULS, Inc.
(A development stage company)
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 
a.
General:

1.
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd (the “First Agreement”) to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its operations.

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

 
The group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field and is considered a development stage company in accordance with ASC Topic 915 (formerly FAS 7) “Development Stage Entities”.

 
2.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2010 and for the nine months then ended, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2010.

 
3.
Going concern considerations
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has net losses for the period from inception (April 12, 2002) through May 31, 2010 of $11,819,901 as well as negative cash flow from operating activities. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its requirements in the twelve months following May 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders, as well as on going funding from the Office of the Chief Scientist ("OCS").
 
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.

Newly issued and recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 ("ASU 2010-09"), "Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements," which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC's requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
 
c.
Reclassification:
 
Certain figures in respect of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Under the terms of the funding arrangements with the OCS, royalties of 3% to 3.5% are payable on the sale of products developed from projects funded by the OCS, which payments shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 100% of the amount of the grant received (dollar linked), plus interest at annual rate based on LIBOR. In addition, if the Subsidiary receives approval to manufacture the products developed with government grants outside the State of Israel, it will be required to pay an increased total amount of royalties (possibly up to 300% of the grant amounts plus interest), depending on the manufacturing volume that is performed outside the State of Israel, and, possibly, an increased royalty rate.
 
At May 31, 2010, the Company has not earned any revenues from the sale of products and no royalty payments have accrued.
 
For the nine and three months periods ended May 31, 2010, the research and development expenses are presented net of OCS Grants, in the total of $450,717 and $158,160, respectively.

a.
Related parties transaction
On June 1, 2010, the subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement with Laser Detect Systems Ltd. ("Laser Detect"), an Israeli company, for the establishment of a new company, Entera Bio Ltd. ("Entera").
According to the agreement, Laser Detect will invest $600,000 in Entera, and Entera will be owned in equal parts by the subsidiary and Laser Detect. As a remuneration, the subsidiary of the Company will enter into a Patent License Agreement with Entera, according to which, the subsidiary of the Company will out-license to Entera a technology for the development of oral delivery drugs for certain indications. The out-licensed technology differs from Oramed’s main delivery technology that is used for oral insulin and is subject to a different patent application. Entera's initial development effort will be an oral formulation for the treatment of osteoporosis.
 
Entera's Chief Executive Officer will be granted options to purchase ordinary shares of Entera, reflecting 9.9% of the Entera's share capital.
 
In the event that Entera has not obtained third-party financing by June 1, 2011, or such other date mutually agreed upon by the parties, each of the subsidiary and Laser Detect will be required to make a capital contribution to Entera in the amount of $150,000. The agreement also contains customary provisions with respect to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, drag-along rights, veto rights and information rights.
 
Mr. Zeev Bronfeld, who is one of Laser Detect's controlling shareholders, is also an affiliated shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, the closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of Laser Detect's shareholders.
 
On June 27, 2010, Laser Detect changed its name to D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Shareholders of
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (A Development Stage Company) and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and cumulatively, for the period from September 1, 2007 to August 31, 2009 (not separately presented herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the cumulative totals of the Company for the period from April 12, 2002 (date of incorporation) to August 31, 2007, which totals reflect a deficit of $4,478,933 accumulated during the development stage. Those cumulative totals were audited by other independent auditors, whose report, dated December 10, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on the cumulative amounts but included an emphasis of a matter. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for that period is based on the report of the other independent auditors.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of the other independent auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended and cumulatively, for the period from September 1, 2007 to August 31, 2009 (not separately presented herein), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1a to the financial statements, the Company has recurring losses for the period from inception (April 12, 2002) through August 31, 2009 and presently the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its requirements in the following twelve months. These reasons raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1a. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
 (a development stage company)
Jerusalem, Israel

We have audited the consolidated statements of expenses, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from April 12, 2002 (Inception) through August 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of Oramed’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Comapny is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the periods described in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 
a.
General:
 
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On March 8, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd (“Hadasit”) (the “First Agreement”) to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin pill to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, see also note 6a.
 
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet generated any revenues from its planned operations.
 
On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd., which is engaged in research and development. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Group” refers to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its Israeli subsidiary, Oramed Ltd (the “Subsidiary”).
 
The group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field and is considered a development stage company in accordance with Statement of financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has net losses for the period from inception (April 12, 2002) through August 31, 2009 of $10,008,678, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its requirements in the twelve months following September 1, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors, existing shareholders, as well as on going funding from the Office of the Chief Scientist ("OCS"), (see note 6h).
 
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 
b.
Accounting principles
 
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 
c.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and the reported expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to stock based compensation.

 
d.
Functional currency
 
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the US dollar (“$” or “dollar”).

Most of the group’s operating expenses are incurred in dollars. Thus, the functional currency of the Company is the dollar.
 
Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For foreign transactions and other items reflected in the statements of operations, the following exchange rates are used: (1) for transactions – exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates and (2) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation) – historical exchange rates. The resulting transaction gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
 
 
e.
Principles of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 
f.
Property and equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
   
%
 
Computers and peripheral equipment
  33  
Office furniture and equipment
 
15-33
 
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Income taxes

 
1. 
Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.
 
Regarding the Subsidiary, paragraph 9(f) of FAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, prohibits the recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local currency into dollars using historical exchange rates, and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the abovementioned differences were not reflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
 
2. 
Uncertainty in income tax
As of September 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax positions; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified on the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim-period guidance, among other provisions. On May 2, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, ‘‘Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48-1’’ (‘‘FSP FIN 48-1’’). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance regarding how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits.

 
h.
Research and development

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

Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. The Company out sources a substantial portion of its clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as contract research organizations, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist the Company with the execution of its clinical studies. For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, certain clinical trial costs are expensed immediately, while others are expensed over time based on the expected total number of patients in the trial, the rate at which patients enter the trial, and the period over which clinical investigators or contract research organizations are expected to provide services.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

Clinical activities which relate principally to clinical sites and other administrative functions to manage the Company’s clinical trials are performed primarily by contract research organizations (“CROs”). CROs typically perform most of the start-up activities for the Company’s trials, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-study visits, training, and program management.

Grants received from the OCS are recognized when the grants become receivable, provided there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and there is reasonable assurance the grant will be received. The grants are deducted from the related research and development expenses as the costs are incurred. See also note 6h.

 
i.
Cash equivalents

The Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents.

 
j.
Comprehensive loss

 
The Company has no other comprehensive loss components other than net loss for the fiscal years of 2008 and 2009.

 
k.
Loss per share
 
Basic and diluted net losses per share of common stock are computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and shares relating to receipts on account of shares in equity during the period. Outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible notes have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The total number of common stock options, warrants and convertible notes excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss was 18,017,697 for the year ended August 31, 2009 (16,611,697 for the year ended August 31, 2008).
 
 
l.
Impairment in value of long-lived assets
 
The Company reviews long-lived assets, to be held and used, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In the event the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized, and the assets are written down to their estimated fair values.

Stock based compensation
 
The Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires awards classified as equity awards be accounted for using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimated forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions.
 
The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method based on the multiple-option award approach.
 
When stock options are granted as consideration for services provided by consultants and other non-employees, the transaction is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, pursuant to the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (EITF 96-18). The fair value of the options granted is measured on a final basis at the end of the related service period and is recognized over the related service period using the straight-line method.

n.
Fair value measurement:
 
On September 1, 2008, the Company adopted the methods of fair value as described in SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in SFAS No. 157, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:
 
 
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
 
Level 2:
Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
 
 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
 
As of August 31, 2009 the only assets or liabilities measured at fair value comprise of derivatives, which have a negligible fair value, measured based on observable prices (level 2).
 
In order to secure the fulfillment of the Company’s obligations under the derivatives agreements, the Company has placed a deposit with the bank in an amount of $16,000.
 
The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 
o.
Concentration of credit risks
 
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and deposit, which are deposited in major financial institutions. The company is in the opinion the credit risk in respect of these balances is remote.

Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements:
 
 
1. 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 will be effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 165. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
 
2. 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). Statement 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will not 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, which will serve only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance; and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 168 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES
 
In February 2007, the Company borrowed $125,000 on a convertible note without interest, due on demand and unsecured. The note is convertible at $0.50 per share. The Company analyzed the note under EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 to determine if it contained a beneficial conversion feature. It was determined the note did contain a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $60,000. Because the note is due on demand, the entire amount of the beneficial conversion feature was amortized immediately to interest expense.
 
In May 2007, the Company borrowed $150,000 on a convertible note without interest, due on demand and unsecured. The note is convertible at $0.50 per share. The Company analyzed the note under EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 to determine if it contained a beneficial conversion feature. It was determined the note did contain a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $48,000. Because the note is due on demand, the entire amount of the beneficial conversion feature was amortized immediately to interest expense.

The Company analyzed the conversion option of both notes and determined it did not require derivative treatment under FAS 133 and EITF 00–19.

During the year ended August 31, 2008, the Company received conversion notices regarding the above mentioned convertible notes. The common stocks underlying the convertible notes were issued on July 1, 2008.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
The Company adopted FIN 48 effective September 1, 2007. FIN 48 requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position. Changes in judgment as to recognition or measurement of tax positions can materially affect the estimate of the effective tax rate and consequently, affect the operating results of the Company. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48 the Company recoded an additional provision for income taxes in the amount of $130,650 due to uncertainty in its tax position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to its tax contingencies as income tax expense. As of August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded $47,881 and $37,469, respectively, of penalties related to tax contingencies.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
Nevada law generally permits us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents.  The Nevada Revised Statutes permit a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person (i) is not liable for a breach of fiduciary duties involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  No indemnification, however, shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
 
Nevada law requires that a corporation must indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding of the type described in the first sentence of the foregoing paragraph, to the extent such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding.  Any permissive indemnification permitted under Nevada law may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, with such determination to be made by either (a) the stockholders, (b) the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding or (c) independent legal counsel in a written opinion (if either a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders or if such a quorum cannot be obtained).
 
II-1

 
Our Bylaws provide that we have the power to indemnify, to the fullest extent legally permissible under the corporations law of the State of Nevada, directors or officers of the Company for all expenses and loss incurred by each such person who is a party, is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit or proceedings (whether civil, criminal, administrative investigative) by reason of the fact that the person is, or was a director or officer of the Company or serving at the request of the Company or for the benefit of the Company as a director or office of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  The Company will pay the expenses incurred by such person in connection with the defense of a civil or criminal action suit or proceeding as such expenses are incurred and before the final disposition of the proceeding in question upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay the amount if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  The right to indemnification does not exclude any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court  or for the advancement of expenses, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company under Nevada law or otherwise, the Company has been advised that the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
We entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify each director and officer for any liability he or she may incur by reason of the fact that he or she serves as our director or officer, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
 
We expect to maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act.
 
ITEM 15.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
Over the past three years, we have issued and sold the following securities without registration under the Securities Act:
 
On February 12, 2007, we issued unsecured convertible debentures, in the amount of $125,000, to Epsom Investment Services.  All of any portion of the amounts due under the debenture may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into 250,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share.
 
On June 15, 2007, we issued to certain selling stockholders, in a private placement, 3,600,000 units of our securities at a price of $0.50 per unit for aggregate proceeds of $1,800,000. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one three-year warrant, each warrant exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.  We issued the units to seven non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. These warrants expired on June 15, 2010.
 
On August 2, 2007, we issued to certain selling stockholders, in a private placement, 510,000 units at a purchase price of $0.50 per unit for aggregate proceeds of $255,000.

On September 7, 2007, we issued 283,025 shares of common stock, valued at $113,210, to Swiss Cap AG, for services rendered in the prior year.
 
II-2

 
On November 8, 2007, we issued 10,000 shares as a finder’s fee to Shikma A M R LTD, valued at $2,900.
 
On July 14, 2008 we completed a private placement to 29 accredited investors pursuant to which we sold to the investors an aggregate of 8,524,669 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.60 per share.  The investors also received three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,262,337 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. We paid $85,000 to a director as a finder’s fee and issued an aggregate of 143,333 shares of common stock to four other individuals as finder’s fees in connection with the private placement.
 
On October 17, 2008, we issued 203,904 shares of common stock valued at $152,928 to Swiss Cap AG, for services rendered in the prior year.
 
On September 11, 2009, we issued 569,887 shares of our common stock to Swiss Cap AG as remuneration for services rendered during 2009, in the amount of $203,699.   
 
On December 29, 2009, we issued 328,110 shares of common stock, valued at $169,500, to Swiss Cap AG for services rendered in the prior year.
 
On December 29, 2009, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock, valued at $12,500, to a third party for services that will be rendered in the six months beginning December 15, 2009.
 
On April 29, 2010, we issued 25,510 shares of common stock, valued at $12,500, to a third party for services rendered.
 
On July 22, 2010, we issued 35,104 shares of common stock, valued at $16,850, to a third party for services rendered.
 
On August 2, 2010, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock, valued at $21,000, to a third party for services that will be rendered in the six months beginning July 14, 2010.
 
Over the past three years, we issued options to purchase 3,350,000 shares of common stock under the 2006 Plan, with a weighted average exercise price of $0.57.  Of these options, 1,650,000 have expired, none of the options have been exercised for shares of our common stock and the remaining 1,700,000 are currently outstanding.  We have also issued options to purchase 6,639,200 shares of common stock under the 2008 Plan, with a weighted average exercise price of $0.51.  Of these options, 978,000 have been forfeited, none have been exercised for shares of our common stock and the remaining 2,338,800 are currently outstanding.  On August 14, 2007 the Company granted options to purchase up to 3,361,360 shares at an exercise price of $0.001 for five years to Miriam Kidron. Of these options, none have been forfeited, none have been exercised for shares of our common stock and options to purchase 3,361,360 shares remain outstanding.
 
The proceeds of all the foregoing sales were used to finance the research and development of our products and for general corporate purposes. We believe that all of the foregoing sales qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of the securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offerings were not “public offerings” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the type of investors, the insubstantial number of investors involved in the offering, the size of the offering, the manner of the offering and number of securities offered. In addition, these securityholders had agreed to the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2). Some of the foregoing sales qualified as offshore transactions under Regulations S promulgated under the Securities Act.  We did not employ an underwriter in connection with the issuance of the securities described above. For a list of the selling stockholders, please see "Selling Stockholders" above.

ITEM 17.
UNDERTAKINGS
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) 
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii) 
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii) 
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
 
(A)
Each prospectus filed by a Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus.  As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
II-4

 
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
 
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
 
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
