NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

General:

Oramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd (the “First Agreement”) to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin pill 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 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 ASC Topic 915 (formerly FAS 7) “Development Stage Entities”.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of November 30, 2010 and for the three 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 three months ended November 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2011.

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 November 30, 2010 of $13,588,838 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 November 30, 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 of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of Israel ("OCS"). See also note 7b for sale of Securities Purchase Agreements to which the Company entered following November 30, 2010.

ORAMED PHARMACEUTICULS, Inc.

(A development stage company)

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

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.

In June 2009, the FASB updated accounting guidance relating to variable interest entities. As applicable to the Company, this will become effective as of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. As applicable to the Company, the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain figures in respect of prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN A JOINT VENTURE

In June 2010, the subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement with D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd ("D.N.A"), for the establishment of a new company, Entera Bio Ltd. ("Entera"), ("the JV Agreement").

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 D.N.A will be required to make a capital contribution to Entera in the amount of $150,000.

Mr. Zeev Bronfeld, who is one of D.N.A 's controlling shareholders, is also an affiliated shareholder of the Company.

As of November 30, 2010, the Group holds 50% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Entera (45% - on fully diluted basis). As the Group did not obtain control in Entera, these consolidated financial statements do not include Entera's financial statements.

In addition, if the Company 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.

As of November 30, 2010, the subsidiary has not yet realized any revenues from the said project and did not incur any royalty liability.

For the three months period ended November 30, 2010 the research and development expenses are presented net of OCS Grants, in the total of $151,976. For the year ended August 31, 2010 the OCS Grants were $350,198.

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, use of orally ingestible capsules, tablets or pills for delivery of other polypeptides.

Oramed was incorporated on April 12, 2002, in the State of Nevada under the name Iguana Ventures Ltd. Following the incorporation, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company was unsuccessful in implementing its business plan as a mineral exploration company. Accordingly, the Company decided to change the focus of its business by completing a share exchange with the shareholders of Integrated Security Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey private corporation (“ISTI”). On June 4, 2004, the Company changed its name to Integrated Security Technologies, Inc. by filing a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State. Effective June 14, 2004 the Company 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 $0.001 per share. However, due to disappointing results of ISTI, on May 31, 2005, effective as of May 27, 2004 the Company terminated the share exchange agreement with the shareholders of ISTI.

On February 17, 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 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.”

Recent Business Developments

On December 21, 2010 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Attara Fund, Ltd. for the sale of 6,250,000 shares of our common stock ("Shares") and warrants to purchase up to 2,187,500 Shares, for a total purchase price of $2,000,000 in cash. The transaction closed on January 10, 2011. The Shares and warrants were sold in units at a price per unit of $0.32, each unit consisting of one Share and a warrant to purchase 0.35 of a Share. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per Share, subject to adjustment, and a term of five years commencing from January 11, 2010.

On December 23, 2010, our wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Oramed Ltd., was awarded a government grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 2.9 million (approximately $807,000), from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of Israel (the "OCS"), which was designated for research and development expenses for the period of July 2010 to June 2011. Oramed Ltd. plans to use the funds to support further research and development and clinical study of its oral insulin capsule and Oral GLP1-analog.

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, 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 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 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.

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 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 September 14, 2010, we reported the successful results of an exploratory clinical trial testing the effectiveness of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD-0801) in type 1 diabetes patients suffering from uncontrolled diabetes. Unstable or labile diabetes is characterized by recurrent, unpredictable and dramatic blood glucose swings often linked with irregular hyperglycemia and sometimes serious hypoglycemia affecting type 1 diabetes patients. This newly completed exploratory study was a proof of concept study for defining a novel indication for ORMD-0801. The encouraging results justify further clinical development of ORMD-0801 capsule application toward management of uncontrolled diabetes.

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.

On February 10, 2010, we entered into agreements with Vetgenerics Research G. Ziv Ltd., a clinical research organization (CRO), to conduct a toxicology trial on our oral insulin capsules.

GLP-1 Analog:

On September 16, 2008 we announced the launch of pre-clinical trials of ORMD 0901, a GLP-1 analog. The pre-clinical trials include animal studies which suggest that the GLP-1 analog (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, our subsidiary entered into a Manufacturing Supply Agreement ("MSA") with Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBH ("sanofi-aventis"). According to the MSA, sanofi-aventis will supply our 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.

Patents and Licenses

We maintain a proactive intellectual property strategy which includes patent filings in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States and other commercially significant markets. We hold 34 patent applications currently pending with respect to various compositions, methods of production oral administration of proteins and exenatide. Expiration dates for pending patents will in 2026 – 2028.

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.

Partnerships and Collaborative Arrangements

We believe that working together with strategic partners will expedite product formulation, production and approval.

On February 17, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Hadasit to provide consulting and clinical trial services.

On October 30, 2006, we entered into a Clinical Trial Manufacturing Agreement with Swiss Caps AG (“Swiss”), pursuant to which Swiss currently manufactures the oral insulin capsule developed by us.

During April 2008, we entered into a five year master services agreement with SAFC, an operating division of Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., pursuant to which SAFC is providing services for individual projects, which may include strategic planning, expert consultation, clinical trial services, statistical programming and analysis, data processing, data management, regulatory, clerical, project management, central laboratory services, pre-clinical services, pharmaceutical sciences services, and other research and development services.

On April 21, 2009, we entered into a consulting service agreement with ADRES, pursuant to which ADRES will provide services for the purpose of filing an IND application with the FDA for a Phase 2 study in accordance with FDA requirements. The FDA approval process and, if approved, registration for commercial use as an oral drug can take several years.

On July 8, 2009 we entered into an additional agreement with Hadasit, to facilitate additional clinical trials to be performed at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.

On February 10, 2010, we entered into agreements with Vetgenerics Research G. Ziv Ltd., a clinical research organization (CRO), to conduct a toxicology trial on our oral insulin capsules.

On May 2, 2010, we entered into an additional agreement with SAFC Pharma, a division of the Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, to develop a process to produce one of our oral capsule ingredients.

As mentioned above, on July 5, 2010, our subsidiary entered into an MSA with sanofi-aventis. According to the MSA, sanofi-aventis will supply our subsidiary with specified quantities of recombinant human insulin to be used for clinical trials in the USA.

Out-Licensed Technology

On June 1, 2010, our subsidiary, Oramed Ltd., entered into an agreement with D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd (formerly, Laser Detect Systems Ltd),, an Israeli company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("D.N.A"), 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 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 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 certain indications. Under certain circumstances, Entera may receive ownership of the licensed technology, in which case we would receive a license back on the same terms.

D.N.A invested $600,000 in Entera in two parts of $400,000 in August 2010 and $200,000 in November 2010, and Entera is owned in equal parts by Oramed and D.N.A, 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 Entera's share capital, upon full exercise. 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 D.N.A will be required to make a capital contribution to Entera in the amount of $150,000.

Mr. Zeev Bronfeld, who is one of D.N.A's controlling shareholders, holds approximately 10.71% of our outstanding common stock (see "Securities Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management").

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 November 30, 2010 of $13,588,838, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities. Based upon our existing spending commitments, estimated at $5.4 million for the twelve months following December 1, 2010, and our cash availability, we do not have sufficient cash resources to meet our liquidity requirements through November 30, 2011. 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 Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements appearing at the beginning of this Quarterly Report. 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 the guidance that 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. 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 our subsidiary, Oramed Ltd., the guidance 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.

The following table summarizes certain statements of operations data for the Company for the three month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009:

Research and development expenses

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

Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. We outsource a substantial portion of our clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as 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 ("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 (the "OCS"), which the OCS designated for research and development expenses for the period of February 2009 to June 2010. The funds were used by Oramed Ltd. to support further research and development and clinical study of its oral insulin capsule and Oral GLP1-analog. In December 2010, Oramed Ltd., was awarded another grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 2.9 million (approximately $807,000) from the OCS, which was designated for research and development expenses for the period of July 2010 to June 2011. Oramed Ltd. plans to use the funds to support further research and development and clinical study of its oral insulin capsule and Oral GLP1-analog. Our grants from the OCS are subject to repayment according to the terms determined by the OCS and applicable law. See "Item 7 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Government Grants" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010, and filed with the SEC on November 29, 2010.

During the three months ended November 30, 2010 research and development expenses totaled $286,488, compared to $317,545 for the three months ended November 30, 2009. The decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in expenses relating to manufacturing of capsules and a decrease in clinical trials costs. The research and development costs include stock based compensation costs, which during the three months ended November 30, 2010 totaled $94,669 as compared to $31,552 during the three months ended November 30, 2009.

Government Grants

In the three months ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $151,976 and $147,590, respectively. As of November 30, 2010, we had no contingent liabilities to the OCS.

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 three months ended November 30, 2010, general and administrative expenses totaled $315,129 compared to $299,956 for the three months ended November 30, 2009. Costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the three months ended November 30, 2010 reflect an increase in consulting expenses and a decrease in legal and travel expenses. During the three months ended November 30, 2010, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $100,632 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $66,425 during the three months ended November 30, 2009.

Financial income/expense, net

During the three months ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 we generated interest income on available cash and cash equivalents which was offset by bank charges and imputed interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception through November 30, 2010, we incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $13,588,838. Since inception through November 30, 2010, we have financed our operations through the private placements of equity and debt financings, raising a total of $8,608,785, net of transaction costs. We will seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources. As of November 30, 2010, we had $1,101,283 of available cash. We anticipate that we will require approximately $5.4 million to finance our activities during the twelve months following December 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 financing activity during the three months ended November 30, 2010 included the following:

On September 11, 2010, we issued 253,714 shares of our common stock ("Shares"), valued at $88,800, to Swiss Caps AG as remuneration for the services provided, for a total of $88,800.

On November 16, 2010, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vivid Horizon Limited for the sale of 937,500 Shares and warrants to purchase up to 328,125 Shares, for a total purchase price of $300,000 in cash. The transaction closed on November 18, 2010. The Shares and warrants were sold in units at a price per unit of $0.32, each unit consisting of one Share and a warrant to purchase 0.35 of a Share. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per Share, subject to adjustment, and a term of five years commencing from November 18, 2010. The sale of the units was not registered under the Securities Act. The issuance of the units was a private placement to an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. There were no underwriting fees or commissions associated with this transaction.

Employee's and Consultant’s Stock Options and Warrants

No options or warrants were granted to employees or consultants during the three months ended November 30, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Planned Expenditures

The estimated expenses referenced herein are in accordance with our business plan. Since our technology is still in the development stage, it can be expected that there will be changes in some budgetary items. Our planned expenditures for the twelve months beginning December 1, 2010 are as follows:

Category:	Amount

Research and development costs, net of OCS funds	$	4,263,000
General and administrative expenses		1,131,000
Financial expense, net		2,000
Taxes on income		-
Total	$	5,396,000

As previously indicated, we are planning to conduct further clinical studies as well as file an IND application with the FDA for our orally ingested insulin. Our ability to proceed with these activities is dependent on several major factors including the ability to attract sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us.

Employment and Consulting Agreements

We have not engaged in any employment and consulting agreements in the three months ended November 30, 2010.
