PART I
This Annual Report on Form 10-K of TopSpin Medical, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TopSpin” or the “Company”, or “us”, or “we” or “our”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Those statements are therefore entitled to the protection of the safe harbor provisions of these laws. These forward-looking statements, which are usually accompanied by words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intends,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects” and similar expressions, involve risks and uncertainties, and relate to, without limitation, statements about our market opportunities, our strategy, our competition, our projected revenue and expense levels and the adequacy of our available cash resources. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that such expectations will be attained or that any deviations will not be material. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 may not occur and our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revision to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Unless specified otherwise, all U.S. Dollar amounts in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are calculated using the NIS/U.S. Dollar exchange rate of NIS 3.549 for every U.S. Dollar as of December 31, 2010. Historical numbers are calculated according to historical exchange rates. Profit and loss numbers are calculated using average exchange rates for years 2009 and 2010.
Item 1. Description of Business.
Overview
We were incorporated in Delaware on September 20, 1999. We have conducted all of our business operations through our wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, TopSpin Medical (Israel) Ltd. (TopSpin Israel). TopSpin Israel was incorporated on October 5, 1999 to engage in research and development of MRI technology using miniaturized MRI sensors. Until we suspended our activities due to financial considerations in October 2008, we were engaged through TopSpin Israel, in the design, research, development and manufacture of imaging devices that utilize MRI technology by means of miniature probes for various body organs.
On September 1, 2005, we issued securities to the public in Israel and our shares of common stock began to trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). In 2007, we registered some of our securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Our securities are traded only on the TASE in NIS. (See PART II, Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities”—“Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters”). On February 4, 2010, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) notified the Company that it failed to satisfy the minimum requirement that issuers whose securities are listed on TASE maintain a minimum equity value of NIS 2 million (approximately $509,609). Following two extensions, the Company will need to comply with this minimum required on or before June 18, 2012 in order to retain its listing on TASE.
In October 2008, we paid NIS 12,513,000 (approximately $3,291,163) as part of a settlement with holders of our Series A Debentures (see Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation”). In addition, grants due to us for the years 2007 and 2008 from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor (OCS), an Israeli governmental agency, were not paid. As a result of the combination of the substantial outlay of cash in connection with the settlement and the lack of cash inflow from the OCS grants, on October 27, 2008, we decided to terminate the employment of all of TopSpin Israel’s employees (excluding the finance department and employees who were pregnant or on maternity leave) and suspend our operational activities.
In February 2009, we raised an aggregate of NIS 900,000 (approximately $238,410) through the issuance of shares of our Common Stock to support efforts to continue our activities.
On January 27, 2010, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Medgenesis Partners Ltd., a private company organized under the laws of Israel and controlled by Ascher Shmulewits (“Medgenesis” and the “Stockholder”, respectively). Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Medgenesis (i) 423,346 shares of Common Stock of the Company; (ii) a warrant to purchase 245,871 shares of Common Stock; and (iii) a warrant to purchase 116,129 shares of Common Shares, all in exchange for payment by Medgenesis in the amount of $211,673 and the cancellation of a certain warrant issued by the Company to the Stockholder pursuant to a certain agreement, dated February 2, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2009.

On February 1, 2010 Medgenesis transferred $53,804 pursuant to the Investment Agreement (“Initial Payment”). The Investment Agreement has not been consummated since the Company failed to fulfill a precondition to the Closing pursuant to the Investment Agreement. The Initial Payment has been converted into Funds (as defined below) pursuant to the Loan Agreement entered into between the parties, as further detailed below.
In addition, the Company, Medgenesis and the Stockholder entered into a memorandum of understanding pursuant to which Medgenesis and the Stockholder will assist the Company to acquire interests in commercial and/or industrial biotech companies and/or assets. We are currently pursuing acquisition options.
Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, on April 29, 2010, we entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Medgenesis, pursuant to which Medgenesis agreed to loan the Company a total of $353,804 (the “Funds”), consisting of: (i) $53,804 already paid to the Company on February 1, 2010, pursuant to the Investment Agreement and (ii) an additional $300,000 to be placed in an escrow account and to be disbursed pursuant to an Escrow Instruction Letter (the “Letter”), dated April 29, 2010, between the Company, Medgenesis and the escrow agent. The Loan Agreement and the Letter provide that the Company may use the Funds for payment of legal fees, including fees associated with retaining its current counsel for bankruptcy counseling advice, and for the payment of all other outstanding obligations as may be required by the Plan (as defined below). The Loan Agreement also provides for the termination of the Investment Agreement and all obligations of the parties there-under.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company filed a petition seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, pursuant to which the Company applied to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to authorize the approval of transactions and all other actions required according to a plan to be prepared by the Company and approved by Medgenesis in writing prior to any filing (the “Plan”). Further, the Company covenanted not to engage in certain conduct while Funds loaned under the Loan Agreement are outstanding, including (i) hiring employees; (ii) applying for any credit or loan from a banking institution; (iii) amending any of the Company’s organizational documents; and (iv) acting in any manner that would result in a material adverse effect on the Company or in non-compliance with the Plan.
On June 28, 2010 the Company received a letter from Medgenesis requesting full repayment of the loan because, at that time, the Company had not yet filed its Chapter 11 petition pursuant to the Loan Agreement. On June 29, 2010, Medgenesis withdrew the remaining amount from the escrow account. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding loan balance, including unpaid interest at a rate of 4.0%, was $427,695.
On July 12, 2010, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code with the Bankruptcy Court (Case No. 10-12213 (CSS)). As part of the Plan that the Company submitted to the Bankruptcy Court, the Company requested that the Bankruptcy Court approve an increase in its registered capital, a reverse split of the Company’s reorganized Common Stock (as further detailed below) and the conversion of the outstanding Funds into Company’s shares of Common Stock (all under terms that have not yet been authorized by the Company’s shareholders).
On September 26, 2010, the Company and Medgenesis signed another loan agreement totaling up to $200,000. The purpose of the loan is to cover the Company’s then current expenses, complete the Chapter 11 proceeding and settle some of the unsecured creditors’ claims based on the settlement approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the relevant regulatory entities. The loan agreement was contingent on the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Chapter 11 proceeding in Delaware (the “Second Loan”). As of December 30, 2010, the Company borrowed approximately NIS 485,613 (approximately $136,831) under the Second Loan.
On October 22, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Granting Motion Of Debtor And Debtor-In-Possession For Authority To Incur Unsecured Debt Under Loan Agreement And For Approval Of Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company to incur up to an additional $200,000.00 under the Second Loan.
On December 13, 2010 the Plan was approved by the general meeting of the equity interest holders of the Company, and on December 21, 2010 the Plan was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the consolidation of the capital of the Company was approved, in such way that each 500 shares par value US$0.001 US$ each shall be consolidated into 1 share par value US$0.001 US$ each, and each warrant exercisable into 1 share par value US$0.001 each, shall be exercisable into 0.0002 shares par value US$0.001 each, with the exercise price remaining the same. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was amended, in such way that the authorized share capital of the Company was increased to a total of 50,000,000 shares par value US$0.001 each. The aforesaid amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the authorized capital of the Company were executed on February 13, 2011. In the course of the Plan, on February 13, 2011 the Company has allocated 10,122,463 shares to a Medgenesis as a repayment of a debt of US$484,000 of the Company to Medgenesis.
We have not generated any revenues to date and have not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. We have an accumulated deficit of NIS 184,432,000 (approximately $51,967,315) as of December 31, 2010, and have incurred a net loss of NIS 2,315,000 (approximately $620,145) and negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of NIS 2,570,000 (approximately $688,454) for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Expenditures on Research and Development
From the time of our inception in 1999 through December 31, 2010, we invested a total of NIS 135,023,000 (approximately $35,513,677) in gross research and development expenses. We funded our research and development expenses from our own resources and from the OCS. Due to the suspension of our operations in October 2008, we have not engaged in any research and development activities in 2010.
Intellectual Property
As of December 31, 2010, TopSpin Israel owned one registered patent in the United States. TopSpin Israel holds the exclusive rights to U.S. Patent No. 6,704,594 entitled Magnetic Resonance Imaging Device, issued March 9, 2004 concerning the basic technology for local MRI imaging from a miniature imaging probe that expires on September 9, 2011.
TopSpin Israel also registered Israel patent No. 149945 which concerns our basic technology for local MRI imaging from a miniature probe; this patent was abandoned on November 24, 2010.
On January 24, 2010, we decided to discontinue the maintenance and development of our intellectual property due to management’s assessment that the Company will not be able to complete the development of our intellectual property or sell products based on such intellectual property.
Employees
Due to financial difficulties, as of December 31, 2010, we had only one full-time employee, Mr. Eitan Shtarkman, serving as the Company’s CEO. We do not have any other employees. The Company is also receiving services from CFO Direct Ltd., a company providing financial services through Mr. Uri Ben-Or, CPA serving as the Company’s CFO.
Our employee is not represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any work stoppages. We believe that our relations with our remaining employee are good. As of December 31, 2010, we have not adopted a code of ethics but intend to do so if and when we restart our suspended activities or enter into new business activities.
Availability of SEC Reports
We file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K and other information with the SEC. Members of the public may read and copy materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Members of the public may also obtain information in the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers, including TopSpin, that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov. We are not required to deliver an annual report to our shareholders; electronic copies of such reports, however, are available on the SEC website described above.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not applicable.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
From January 2010 to May 2010, we leased offices located at Rothschild 65, Tel Aviv, Israel for a monthly rent payment of NIS 4,200 (approximately $1,125). In May 2010, the lease expired and the Company vacated the premises and sold certain technological and office equipment and supplies.
On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Tapuz Clothing Industry Ltd (“Tapuz”), a company affiliated with Mr. Zvi Linkovsky, one our directors, pursuant to which Tapuz provides us with office space and services for a monthly payment of NIS 2,000 (approximately $536). The agreement with Tapuz is on a month-to-month basis. Both parties may terminate the agreement upon 15 days’ notice. We believe that this arrangement is sufficient to meet our current needs. However, in the long-term, we will reevaluate the need for additional facilities based on our growth and future needs with respect to management, administration, marketing and manufacturing requirements.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, as detailed in Item 1 above. Except for the Chapter 11 proceedings, as of December 31, 2010, we were not a party to any material legal proceeding.
Item 4. Removed and Reserved.

Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Our shares of Common Stock are listed for trading on the TASE. On February 28, 2008, 22,522 of our outstanding Series 1 Warrants were converted into shares of our Common Stock and all warrants that remained unexercised as of the close of business of such date expired and were delisted from TASE. The information below refers to shares of our Common Stock that are currently traded on TASE under the symbols “TOPMD”. Public trading of our Common Stock commenced on September 6, 2005.
On February 11, 2011, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (Restated Charter). Pursuant to the Restated Charter, the Company effected a reverse split of its common stock (Split), such that every 500 shares of the common stock existing prior to the Split were automatically combined into 1 share of the Company’s common stock (such combined common stock, the “New Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Restated Charter, the authorized capital stock of the Company was reduced to 50,000,000 shares of New Common Stock.
The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low per share sale prices for our Common Stock as reported on TASE.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and Notes and the other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
Overview
Until suspension of our business activities due to financial considerations in October 2008, we, through our subsidiary, TopSpin Israel, were engaged in the design, research, development and manufacturing of imaging devices that utilize MRI technology by means of miniature probes that image various body organs. Until 2008, our main product was an intravascular MRI, or IVMRI, catheter system for imaging and characterizing the tissue composition of coronary plaque during a conventional cardiac catheterization procedure.
As previously disclosed in current reports on Form 8-K filed on September 25, 2008, September 29, 2008 and October 16, 2008, we executed a supplemental indenture with Wilmington Trust Company (in its capacity as Trustee for our Series A Debentures) and the Ziv Haft Trust Company Ltd. (in its capacity as Co-Trustee of our Series A Debentures) which supplemented the original indenture governing the Series A Debentures and provided for the conversion of each NIS 1.00 of principal amount of Series A Debentures held by eligible bondholders into nine (9) shares of our common stock and NIS 0.25 in cash.
As contemplated by the supplemental indenture and the settlement agreement, dated July 13, 2008, between the Company and the Co-Trustee, on October 12, 2008, all of the outstanding NIS 50,000,000 of the Series A Debentures were converted into 450,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. Upon the completion of this conversion, all of our outstanding Series A Debentures were removed from trading on the TASE. We issued the cash payment contemplated by the settlement agreement on October 26, 2008 in the amount of NIS 12,513,000 (approximately $3,291,162).

Table of Contents

This payment significantly reduced our cash resources, and, together with the discontinuation of grants from OCS, materially and adversely affected our business and the cash we have available to maintain research and development, marketing, and other activities conducted in the ordinary course of our business. Our reduced cash position caused us to suspend our activities as of October 27, 2008. We were forced to terminate all of our employees except three employees in our finance department and three employees who were on maternity leave at the time (each of whose employment was terminated prior to March 31, 2009), and we incurred termination fees in connection with the early termination of our property and motor vehicle lease. As of December 31, 2010, we employed only one full-time employee—our CEO—and our financial function is currently satisfied by third-party provider.
Critical Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), applied on a consistent basis, as follows:
Financial statements in NIS: A majority of the Company’s costs and expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels, or NIS. In addition, the Company finances its operations from mainly NIS denominated resources, mainly from equity raisings. The Company’s management believes that the NIS is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional currency of the Company is the NIS. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the NIS are re-measured into NIS in accordance with ASC 830 (formerly — SFAS No. 52), “Foreign Currency Matters”.
All transaction gains and losses of re-measured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate. Substantially all the operations and assets of the Company are conducted in NIS in Israel and it has no assets and operations in the US. The Company’s equity securities are traded in Israel in NIS. As such the Company’s management believes that the functional and reporting currency is NIS.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the subsidiary over which the Company exercises control. Significant inter-company balances and transactions between the two companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2010
Revenue — We did not have any revenues in 2010 or 2009.
Research and Development — We had no research and development expenses in 2010 or 2009 due to suspension of operations in October 2008.
Marketing and Sales — We had no marketing and sales expenses in 2010 or 2009 due to suspension of operations in October 2008.

General and Administrative — General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees, rent, office maintenance, payroll related expenses and directors’ fees. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately 30% to NIS 2,512,000 (approximately $672,917) in 2010 from NIS 1,930,000 (approximately $490,769) in 2009. This increase was the result of reorganization of the Company in connection with our bankruptcy proceedings.
Financial Income, Net — In 2010, our financial income decreased by 22% to NIS 197,000 (approximately $52,773) as compared to financial income of NIS 254,000 (approximately $64,588) in 2009. This decrease is attributable primarily to the interest expenses from related party loan and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Taxes on income — Since its formation, the Company has had no income from operations and has no deferred tax liabilities. As a result of the settlement with our bondholders in 2008, we recorded a reserve in the amount of NIS 1,344,000 (approximately $374,603) for possible tax payments.
Net Loss — Our net loss for 2010 was NIS 2,315,000 (approximately $620,145) compared to a net loss of NIS 1,676,000 (approximately $426,181) in 2009, an increase of approximately 40% which is attributable to a reorganization of the company in connection with out bankruptcy proceedings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not had any revenues from operations since our inception in September 1999. We financed our operations principally through private and public sales of equity securities, convertible notes and through grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, an Israeli governmental agency.
In February 2009, we raised net proceeds of NIS 900,000 (approximately $236,717) through the sale of 240,000 shares of our common shares of $0.001 par value and 58,064,516 warrants exercisable into 116,129 common. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share for the exercise price of NIS 0.01 for a period of 4 years following the issuance date.
As of December 31, 2010, our assets were approximately NIS 82,000 (approximately $23,105), of which cash and cash equivalents were approximately NIS 33,000 (approximately $9,298). As of December 31, 2010, our liabilities were approximately NIS 1,975,000 (approximately $529,065).
We believe that our cash resources are insufficient for our operations at current levels for the next twelve months. We are contemplating and pursuing possibilities for new business activities for the Company and new avenues for raising capital.
We may not be able to raise additional funds required to resume our regular business operations or to engage in new fields of business that we may decide to pursue. The global stock and credit markets are experiencing significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which have caused market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of financing. Continued uncertainty in the stock and credit markets may negatively affect our ability to raise necessary additional funds

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
TOPSPIN MEDICAL, INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Topspin Medical, Inc. (“the Company”) and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated 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 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included considerations 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1b and 1c in the last quarter of 2009, the Company terminated the employment of most of its employees and suspended its operational activities. On July 7, 2010 the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the filing of chapter 11 (see note 1d). The Company has incurred losses in the amount of NIS 2,315 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2010 and has an accumulated deficit in the amount of NIS 184,432 thousand as of that date. These factors, among other factors described in that Note, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue to operate as a going concern.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL
  a.  
TopSpin Medical, Inc. (“the Company”) and its subsidiary, TopSpin Medical (Israel) Ltd. (“the subsidiary”) (collectively “the Group”) were engaged in research and development of a medical MRI technology.
 
     
In October 2008, the Company suspended its activities as described below.
 
     
The Company was incorporated and commenced operation in September 1999 as a private company registered in Delaware, U.S. On September 1, 2005, the Company issued securities to the public in Israel and became publicly traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). In 2007, the Company listed some of its securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s shares are traded only in Israel in NIS.
 
     
In October 2008, the Company terminated the employment of all of its subsidiary’s employees (excluding two employees from the finance department) and suspended its operational activities.
 
     
On January 24, 2010, the Company decided to discontinue the development of its intellectual property due to management’s assessment from December 2009 that the Company will not be able to finalize the development of its intellectual property or sell products based on such intellectual property.
 
  b.  
Since the suspension of the Company’s operational activity and as of the date of the financial statements the Company is not engaged in any operational activity. Additionally, in January 2010, Company’s management decided to suspend the support in protection of its intellectual property (registered patent and patent applications).
 
  c.  
The Group has not generated any revenues and has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. The Company has an accumulated deficit of NIS 184,432 as of December 31, 2010, and it incurred a net loss of NIS 2,315 and negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of NIS 2,570 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
     
There is uncertainty about the Company’s ability to generate revenues or raise sufficient funds in the near term, if any. These factors, among other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  d.  
On July 7, 2010 the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the filing of Chapter 11. Subject to the approval of the Company’s request the Company will be able to increase its capital, change its capital structure and convert the loan from with Medgenesis Partners Ltd. (“Medgenesis”), a private company incorporated under the laws of Israel and controlled by Mr. Ascher Shmuelevich (“the Investor” and “the Shareholder”, respectively) (see details on the loan in note 14b). The request was filed in Delaware on July 12, 2010.
 
     
As part of the restructuring plan, the Company requested the Bankruptcy Court to approve an increase in its registered capital, approve a reverse split of the Company’s reorganized Common Stock and approve converting the Medgenesis loan into Company’s common stock (under terms that have not yet been authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or the Company’s shareholders).
 
     
On August 30, 2010, the United Stated Bankruptcy Court — District of Delaware approved the Chapter 11 settlement sought by the Company (“the first proposed settlement”). The first proposed settlement consists of capital consolidation at a ratio of 1:500 without derogating from the rights arising from holding the Company’s shares or stock options. The first proposed settlement also prescribes that following the capital consolidation, 2,806,524 of the Company’s shares will be allocated to Medgenesis against the waiver of the first loan which as of the date of the approval of the first proposed settlement amounted to approximately $284 thousand. According to the first proposed settlement, after said share allocation, Medgenesis would hold 55.94% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital and the Shareholder would hold directly and through Medgenesis 71.7% of the issued and outstanding share capital.
 
     
On October 4, 2010, the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved an amended Chapter 11 settlement (“the settlement”) according to which:
  1.  
A capital consolidation at a ratio of 1:500 will be carried out in the context of the consolidation.
 
  2.  
The conversion of loans totaling $484 thousand which were extended and/or will be extended to the Company by Medgenesis into 10,122,463 Company’s shares.
     
According to the settlement, after the share allocation, Medgenesis would hold 86.92% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital and the Shareholder would hold directly and through Medgenesis 88.68% of the issued and outstanding share capital.

On December 13, 2010 the settlement was approved by the Company’s general shareholders’ meeting. Accordingly, the capital consolidation was approved and the shares allocation was performed as described above. See more information on note 10b6. On December 21, 2010 the court approved the settlement. As of December 31, 2010 the shares were not issued to the Shareholder and Medgenesis.
 
  e.  
On March 18, 2010, due to lack of resources, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the employment of the Company’s remaining finance department employees.
 
     
On April 28, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors rescinded the termination of one finance employee of the Company and appointed her as controller and secretary of the Company. On September 12, 2010, the Company’s controller ceased her employment with the Company. On September 20, 2010, an outsourcing company provided financial services to the Company including a chief financial officer services.
 
  f.  
The Company’s management is currently operating to raise the necessary funds for the operation of the company and for finding operational activity for the Company in the field of life science or other fields.
 
  g.  
On February 4, 2010, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) notified the Company that it does not comply with the maintenance regulations since the Company’s equity is lower than NIS 2,000 in the last four reporting quarters. The Company was given an extension until June 30, 2010 to increase its equity.
 
     
On July 18, the Company received notification from TASE that w the Company’s shares will be transfer to the maintenance list beginning July 19, 2010. The Company was given an extension until July 18, 2012 to increase its equity, otherwise, its shares will be eliminated from trading commencing July 20, 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NIS in thousands, except share and per share data
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), applied on a consistent basis, as follows:
  a.  
Financial statements in NIS:
 
     
A majority portion of the Company’s costs and expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). In addition, the Company finances its operations from mainly NIS denominated resources, mainly from equity raisings.
 
     
The Company’s management believes that the NIS is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional currency of the Company is the NIS.
 
     
Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the NIS are re-measured into NIS in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.
All transaction gains and losses of the re-measured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
 
     
Substantially all the operations and assets of the Company are conducted in NIS in Israel and it has no assets and operations in the US. The Company’s stocks are traded in Israel in NIS. As such the Company’s management believes that the functional and reporting currency is NIS.
 
  b.  
Use of estimates:
 
     
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  c.  
Principles of consolidation:
 
     
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the subsidiary over which the Company exercises control. Significant inter-company balances and transactions between the two companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition.
 
  e.  
Property and equipment:
 
     
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:
     
    %
 
   
Computers and software
  33
Office furniture and equipment
  7 – 15
  f.  
Impairment of long-lived assets:
 
     
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2010, no impairment losses on its property and equipment were recorded.
 
  g.  
Severance pay:
 
     
The Company’s liability for severance pay to the Israeli employees of the subsidiary is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company’s liability for all of its employees is partially provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet. The deposited funds include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and includes immaterial profits.

Stock-based compensation:
 
     
ASC 718 requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock based awards. The Company has elected to use the binomial pricing model to determine the fair value of stock based awards on the dates of grant.
 
     
The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010:
 
     
The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its options based on the accelerated method over the requisite service period of the options.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Binomial model with the following assumptions:
     
Binomial model   2009
Dividend yield
  0%
Expected volatility
  113%-136.4%
Risk-free interest rate
  4.5%
Suboptimal exercise factor
  3.09 for employees,
 
  3.56 for officers
     
Risk-free interest rates are based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a term equivalent to the contractual life of the options; Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities from traded stock of the Company and of similar companies. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes.
 
     
The suboptimal exercise factor represents the value of the underlying stock as a multiple of the exercise price of the option which, if achieved, results in exercise of the option.
 
     
The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to declare dividends.
 
     
The Company applies ASC 718 and ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payment to Non-employees”, with respect to options issued to non-employees. ASC 718 requires the use of option valuation models to measure the fair value of the options and warrants. The Company uses the Binomial model to measure the fair value of options granted to non-employees. In 2010, no options were granted to non-employees.
 
  i.  
Fair value of financial instruments:
 
     
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and prepaid expenses, trade payables and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

  j.  
Basic and diluted net loss per share:
 
     
Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding during each period, plus dilutive potential Common shares considered outstanding during the year in accordance with ASC 260, “Earning per Share”. All outstanding stock options have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per Common share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for each of the periods presented.
 
  k.  
Concentration of credit risks:
 
     
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and other receivables. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in NIS and U.S. dollar instruments of major banks in Israel and in the United States. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments. The Company and its subsidiary have no significant off-balance sheet concentration of financial instruments subject to credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements.
 
  l.  
Income taxes:
 
     
The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (, “Income Taxes”. This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are calculated for temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforward. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
 
     
The Company and its subsidiary provide a valuation allowance if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.
 
     
As for tax uncertainties, the Statement establishes a single model to address accounting for uncertain tax positions. The Statement clarified the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Statement also provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company elected to classify interest expenses and penalties recognized in the financial statements as income taxes. For the years 2009 and 2010, no penalties were recognized.

Impact of recently issued Accounting Standards:
 
     
Adoption of New Accounting Standards during the period:
 
     
ASU 2010-06 — In January 2010, the FASB updated the “Fair Value Measurements Disclosures” codified in ASC 820. More specifically, this update require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This update clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. As applicable to the Company, this update became effective as of the first quarter ended December 31, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting of December 31, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Commitments to pay royalties to the Chief Scientist:
The Company’s subsidiary participated in program sponsored by the Israeli Government for the support of research and development activities. The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the Office of the Chief Scientist (“OCS”), amounting to 3%-3.5% of the sales of the products and other related revenues generated from such projects, up to 100% of the grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar and bearing interest at the rate of LIBOR. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had not paid or accrued royalties to the OCS and its outstanding contingent obligation for royalties amounted to approximately NIS 17,985 plus interest.
NOTE 9:- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS
  a.  
On November 21, 2006, the Company issued in a private placement NIS 50,000,000 par value of bonds (series A) (“the bonds (series A)” or “the convertible debentures”) and 25,000,000 warrants (series 2) (“the warrants” or “the warrants (series 2)”) such that each issuance of two bonds (series A) entitled the holder of bonds (series A) to receive from the Company, at no consideration, one warrant (series 2).
 
     
The warrants (series 2) are convertible into 50,000 Common shares of the Company, par value $0.001, such that each warrant is exercisable into one Common share of the Company in consideration of NIS 0.84 linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index.
 
     
The bonds (series A) were offered at a purchase price equaling 95% of their par value and for total consideration of NIS 47,500 and issuance costs of approximately NIS 5,000. The warrants (series 2) were offered at no consideration. The share’s quoted market price at November 21, 2006, was NIS 0.752.

  b.  
On September 11, 2007, a registration statement pursuant to the United States Securities Act of 1933 (“the registration statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the registration of the bonds (series A), warrants (series 2) and the shares underlying the conversion of the bonds (series A) and the exercise of the warrants (series 2) became effective.
 
  c.  
On September 17, 2007, the bonds (series A) and the warrants (series 2) and the shares underlying the conversion of the bonds (series A) and the exercise of the warrants (series 2) were listed for trade on the TASE.
 
  d.  
On July 13, 2008, the Company and Ziv Haft Trust Company, the Co-Trustee acting on behalf of the holders of the Series A Convertible Bonds (the “Co-Trustee”, the “Bondholders” and the “Series A Bonds”, respectively), executed a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, and subject to its terms and the approval of an Israeli court (the “Israeli Court”), the Indenture will be amended such that in consideration of each NIS 1 par value of the Series A Bonds, each Bondholder will be entitled to receive 9 shares of Common stock of the Company and the sum of NIS 0.25 in cash. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Bondholders will be paid an aggregate amount of NIS 12,500 in cash, and will be issued Common stock such that following the execution of the arrangement, the Bondholders will hold 71% of the issued and outstanding capital of the Company. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company deposited within 3 days following the execution of the Settlement Agreement NIS 12,500 in an account on behalf of the Co-Trustee.
 
     
By September 25, 2008, the above mentioned amounts were deposited and all of the conditions for amending the Indenture were satisfied.
 
  e.  
On October 12, 2008, following the settlement, the bonds were converted into 900,000 shares of Common stock (see also Note 10b2). On October 26, 2008, the amount was paid in such a manner that each bond was exercisable into one share of Common stock of the Company, in consideration for a cash payment of NIS 0.0.250263.
 
  f.  
According to ASC 470-50, “Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments” (formerly: EITF 96-19 and EITF 06-6), the Company determined that the terms of the convertible debentures do not constitute a substantial change compared to the original terms. Consequently, a new effective interest rate was determined based on the carrying amount of the original debt instrument, adjusted for an increase in the fair value of an embedded conversion option (calculated as the difference between the fair value of the embedded conversion option immediately before and after the modification or exchange) resulting from the modification, and the revised cash flows.

Any options, which are canceled or forfeited before the expiration date, become available for future grants.
 
  b.  
On February 26, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an increase of an additional 25,000,000 shares of Common stock to be granted under the 2003 Israeli Share Option Plan. On January 24, 2010, the Board of Directors cancelled this decision.
 
  c.  
On December 30, 2008, the Board of Directors approved agreements with the former CEO, Yaron Tal, and the former CFO, Eyal Kolka, which include a modification to their option terms. According to the agreements:
  1.  
The exercise price of the 2,500,000 vested options out of all the options granted to Yaron Tal was reduced to $0.001 and will be exercisable until December 30, 2010. All the unvested options were canceled. The compensation resulting from the modification amounted to approximately NIS 17.
 
  2.  
The exercise price of the 2,100,000 options from the 2003 Option Plan granted to Eyal Kolka was reduced to $0.001, 862,500 out of the 2,100,000 options which were unvested will become immediately vested and all of the aforementioned options will be exercisable until November 30, 2010. The compensation resulting from the modification amounted to approximately NIS 14.
Both Yaron Tal and Eyal Kolka exercised their above mentioned options during 2009.
According to ASC 718, modifications of the expiration date and reduction in the exercise price of the options are treated as an exchange of the original award, resulting in additional compensation expenses based on the differences between the fair value of the new award and the original award immediately before modification. Compensation expenses were recognized immediately as the modified options were fully vested. As a result of the modification, the Company recorded additional compensation expenses in the amount of approximately NIS 31 in 2008, using the Binomial model.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the tables above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of December 2010 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2010. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock.
As of December 31, 2010, there was NIS 62 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3 years.
On December 10, 2009 two of the Company’s directors resigned. As a result 9,500,000 of their unvested options were forfeited. On March 10, 2010 the remaining 9,500,000 of the directors vested options became forfeited.
Compensation expenses (income) related to options granted to employees were recorded to research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses, as follows:

NOTE 13:- INCOME TAXES (Cont.)
  c.  
Tax rates applicable to the Group:
  1.  
The subsidiary:
 
     
The rate of the Israeli corporate tax is as follows: 2008 — 27%, 2009 — 26%, 2010 — 25%. Tax at a reduced rate of 25% applies on capital gains arising after January 1, 2003, instead of the regular tax rate. In July 2009, the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) passed the Economic Efficiency Law 2009 (Amended Legislation for Implementing the Economic Plan for 2009 and 2010) which prescribes, among other things, an additional gradual reduction in Israeli corporate tax rate starting from 2011 to the following tax rates: 2011 — 24%, 2012 — 23%, 2013 — 22%, 2014 — 21%, 2015 — 20%, 2016 and thereafter — 18%.
 
     
The Company estimates that the Economic Efficiency Law is not expected to affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
  2.  
The Company:
 
     
The tax rates applicable to the Company whose place of incorporation is the U.S. are corporate (progressive) tax at the rate of up to 35%, including State tax and Local tax which rates are dependent on the country and city in which the Company will conduct its business.
 
     
According to the tax laws applicable to Israeli residents, dividend received from a foreign resident company is subject to tax in Israel at the rate of 25% by its recipient. According to the tax laws applicable in the U.S., tax at the rate of 30% is withheld and, based on the treaty for the avoidance of double taxation of Israel and the U.S., it may be reduced to either 25% or 12.5% (dependent on the identity of the shareholder). To enjoy the benefits of the tax treaty, certain procedural requirements need to be satisfied.
  d.  
Carryforward losses for tax purposes:
 
     
In the year ended December 31, 2010, the main reconciling items from the statutory tax rate of the Company (25%) to the effective tax rate (0%) are carryforward tax losses for which a full valuation allowance was provided.
 
     
Carryforward tax losses of the Company amount to approximately NIS 42,000 as of December 31, 2010. According to the tax laws in the U.S., these losses may be gradually carried forward until 2025. Carryforward tax losses of the subsidiary in Israel, which may be carried forward for an indefinite period, total approximately NIS 134,000 as of December 31, 2010. Deferred tax assets relating to these carryforward losses were not recorded due to the uncertainty of their utilization and as a result, the Company provided a valuation allowance on the total amount of the deferred assets.

Deferred tax assets:
 
     
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:
         
    December 31, 2010  
 
Tax assets with respect to tax loss carryforwards
    38,820  
Less — valuation allowance
    (38,820 )
 
     
 
       
Net deferred tax assets
     
 
     
     
Realization of deferred tax assets is depended on generating sufficient taxable income in the period that the deferred tax assets are realized. Based upon all available information and because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
 
     
The Company has not been assessed for tax purposes since incorporation.
 
  f.  
Tax provision:
 
     
In 2008, as a result of the Settlement Agreement (see Note 9d), the Company recorded taxable income. The Company believes it has reasonable arguments to enable it to offset the taxable income against taxable losses from other sources. Due to uncertainties with respect to this matter and in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, the Company has provided NIS 1,254 (2009 — NIS 1,344) for the potential tax exposure. The subsidiary filed its tax return in the U.S. during 2009.

Further, the Company covenanted not to engage in certain conduct while funds loaned under the agreement are outstanding, including: (i) hiring employees; (ii) applying for any credit or loan from a banking institution; (iii) amending any of the Company’s organizational documents; and (iv) acting in any manner that would result in a material adverse effect on the Company or in non-compliance with the Plan.

In addition to this monthly fee, we will issue to Mr. Fatal (subject to requisite approvals) options to purchase shares of the Common Stock representing ten percent (10%) of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately preceding such option issuance. The grant of these options is subject to: (i) execution of an investment in the Company by a third party (or, if earlier to occur, a rights offering), and (ii) the increase of the registered share capital of the Company. The options will vest as follows: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Consultant Options will vest on December 17, 2010, and (ii) the remaining fifty percent (50%) will vest on December 17, 2011. The options will expire, if unexercised, on the earlier of the occurrence of a “merger or acquisition event” (as such term is defined in the consulting agreement) and the date that is seven (7) years after the date of grant. Unvested options will be cancelled and will cease to vest only upon termination of the agreement by Mr. Fatal or termination of the agreement by the Company for cause. The options issued in connection with the agreement will be subject to certain transfer restrictions in compliance with U.S. and Israeli securities laws. Fufi Fatal ceased serving as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Acting Principal Executive Officer on May 26, 2010 and his options expired.

Director and Officer Indemnification
In January 2004 and August 2005, we undertook to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law for any liabilities that they may incur for any action taken as an officer or director or in any other joint venture, partnership or enterprise. The indemnification includes any monetary liability imposed on the officer or director because of a verdict, fine, penalty, settlement agreement or any other reasonable amount expense accrued by the office or director in connection with any threat, activity, pending procedure, claim or civil, criminal or administrative proceeding or investigation, including any activity by or on behalf of us in which the officer or director is an interested party or is liable to an interested party, or where the officer or director has been threatened that he will become an interested party due to his being an officer of director. We will compensate an officer or director in advance for any reasonable amount that he has paid for any claim against him (including litigation costs and the costs of preparing an adequate defense) after the director or officer agrees that he will bear the detailed costs himself if it is found that the officer or director is not entitled to receive compensation under the agreement or our Certificate of Incorporation. The conclusion of any proceeding with a judgment, order, settlement agreement, indictment or similar conclusion against a director or officer will not give rise to the assumption that the officer or director acted in a manner other than in our best interests or, in respect to a criminal charge, had no reasonable grounds for assuming that his actions were illegal.

Table of Contents

In a number of circumstances, an officer or director will not be entitled to indemnification or advance reimbursement for expenditures if: (1) a competent court of law has made a final verdict or order that a claim or claims against an officer or director arose out of deception or bad faith or that the officer or director was misled or, that the indemnification is not permitted under prevailing law; (2) the verdict or order by the court stemmed from a claim regarding infringement of the Exchange Act, or other federal or state laws; (3) an act or omission occurred for which the officer or director is not entitled to receive compensation under Delaware law; (4) the proceedings or claims were initiated by the officer or director that were not in self-defense other than proceedings brought to pay compensation or where our Board of Directors has approved of the proceedings and the decision to file them; (5) expenditures or obligations of any kind were paid directly to the officer or director by the insurance company under the directors and officers liability policy; or (6) the claim relates to abuse of information that is not available to the public by the officer or director in all matters pertaining to the purchase and/or sale of our Common Stock. We will not be obligated to compensate an officer or director for every amount paid in the framework of a settlement agreement that was drawn up by the officer or director without our written consent. We will not sign any settlement agreement that would affect any proceedings against an officer or director without his written consent.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we maintained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the purpose of paying these types of claims in an amount of up to $3,000,000 per event for a year. We may decide to cancel our indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, but we will still be obligated to compensate an officer or director for any claims resulting from actions prior to the cancellation of the indemnification agreement. Currently, we have indemnification agreements with all present or past officers and directors of both us and our subsidiaries.
TopSpin Medical, Inc. 2001 Israeli Stock Option Plan
In accordance with resolutions adopted by our board of directors in February 2000, we adopted an option plan in 2001 for the allocation of up to 300,000 shares of our Common Stock to our directors, employees and consultants and the directors, employees and consultants of our subsidiaries. Options granted under this plan can be exercised into shares of our Common Stock at either $2.00 or $12.00. As of December 31, 2010, 280,910 options have been issued to employees, directors and consultants. 280,910 options have expired and are no longer exercisable. Our Board of Directors has resolved not to issue any additional options under this plan. The options under the 2001 Israeli Stock Option Plan are not registered for trading on TASE, but however, have been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Form S-8 registration statement that we filed with the SEC on October 15, 2007.
TopSpin Medical, Inc. 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan
General Provisions
Our Board of Directors passed resolutions in January 2003, September 2003, August 2005 and September 2007, under which it adopted the 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan to allocate up to 37,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to our directors, employees and consultants and the directors, employees and consultants of our subsidiaries. The plan is administered by the Board of Directors and any committee that the Board of Directors may appoint for such purpose. The appointed committee may grant four types of options under this plan: Approved 102 Capital Gains Options, which are granted only to employees of our subsidiaries and qualify for capital gains tax treatments, Approved 102 Ordinary Income Options, which qualify for ordinary income tax treatment, Unapproved 102 Options, and 3(9) Options, which are non-qualified stock options which are granted mostly to non-employees of our subsidiaries. The number of shares authorized to be issued under this plan will be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of the stock or the payment of a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration.
The existing outstanding options as of December 31, 2010 are exercisable at prices between $0.001 and $0.1886, depending on the individual grant. Unless stated otherwise in the individual grant, most grants of options vest and become exercisable according to the following schedule: 25% on the first anniversary of the option grant, and 6.25% at the end of each subsequent quarter over the course of the following three years. The committee, though, may, in its absolute discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, accelerate or otherwise change the time at which such option or any portion of an option will vest. The option grant may also contain performance goals and measures and the provisions in one option grant need not be identical to any other option grant. All options will expire ten years from the date of grant unless terminated earlier. If an individual option grant expires and has not been exercised, our Board of Directors has the authority to allocate those options to other employees, directors or consultants.
An option may not be exercised unless the grantee is then employed by us or providing services to us or our affiliate. Following the termination of a grantee’s position with us or a subsidiary, other than for cause, death, disability or retirement, the grantee may still exercise his or her vested options for ninety days following the date of termination. If a grantee dies or is disabled during his or her employment or service, then his or her heirs will be entitled to exercise the options for twelve months after the grantee’s death or disability. Also, if the grantee terminates his or her employment on account of retirement, he or she will have twelve months to exercise his or her options.

Table of Contents

Termination of an Option
Subject to the Board of Director’s approval, the committee administering this option plan may, from time to time, cancel all or any portion of an option granted under the plan and our obligation will be discharged with respect to that option through either (i) payment to the grantee of an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the cancelled option at the date of such cancellation over the aggregate exercise price of the option, (ii) the issuance or transfer to the grantee of Common Stock with a fair market value at the date of such transfer equal to any such excess, or (iii) a combination of cash and shares with a combined value equal to any such excess, as determined by the committee, in its sole discretion.
Also, in the event of our voluntary liquidation, merger, acquisition, or reorganization, we must notify the grantees at least fifteen days prior to the transaction. All options will then expire prior to the consummation of the transaction if they are not exercised by the notified grantees. In the event of a merger with another company, however, our Board of Directors is entitled to exchange the options for the securities of the surviving corporation or to pay the fair market value of the options to the grantees.
Outstanding Grants
As of December 31, 2010, we have issued 67,392,125 options under the 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan with 232,813 options outstanding. During 2010, 11,000,000 options have expired and are no longer outstanding. As permitted under the plan, we have, from time to time, reissued these expired options in subsequent option grants as permitted by the plan. The options under the 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan are not registered for trading on TASE, but however, have been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Form S-8 registration statement that we filed with the SEC on October 15, 2007.
