(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1:-
GENERAL

 
a.
PROLOR Biotech, Inc. (“the Company”) was formed on August 22, 2003 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company is engaged in the development of therapeutic proteins with extended half-lives, through its subsidiaries, Modigene Inc., a Delaware corporation, and PROLOR Biotech Ltd. (formerly, ModigeneTech Ltd., “PROLOR LTD”), an Israeli based subsidiary.

 
b.
The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts toward research and development activities. The Company’s activities also include raising capital, recruiting personnel and building infrastructure. In the course of such activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated any revenues or product sales and has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flow from operations. The Company’s deficit accumulated during the development stage aggregated $41,140,864 as of June 30, 2011. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. The Company believes that its current cash sources will enable the continuance of the Company’s activities for at least a year with no need for additional financing.
 
NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
a.
Basis of presentation:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2011.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 
b.
Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Modigene Inc. and PROLOR LTD.
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 
c.
Loss per share:
Basic and diluted losses per share are presented in accordance with ASC No. 260 “Earnings per share”. Outstanding share options and warrants, convertible preferred stock and restricted stock have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive.
The number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), issuable upon exercise or conversion of the foregoing securities that was excluded from calculations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the period from May 31, 2005 (date of inception) to June 30, 2011 was 18,414,114, 20,035,195 and 18,401,045 respectively. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable that was excluded from calculations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 18,417,533 and 16,077,467, respectively.

 
d.
Fair value measurements:
As defined in ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”), fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Other inputs that are observable, directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would value the assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques in its assessment that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value, classified according to the three categories described above:

NOTE 3:-
RECENT ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this update require new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, further disaggregation of fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and additional details of valuation techniques and inputs utilized. This update is consistent with the Company's current accounting application for fair value measurements and disclosures.

In April, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting ASU No. 2010-13, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2010-13”). ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to further clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should classify such an award as equity. The amendments in this update do not expand the recurring disclosures required by Topic 718. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The company adopted this standard in January, 2011 which did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs")." Under ASU 2011-04, the guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRS and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. ASU 2011-03 is effective for public entities during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operation and financial condition.

RECENT ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income," ("ASU 2011-05") which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity. Instead, comprehensive income must be reported in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operation and financial condition.

There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries.  None of the updates are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), 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”), about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our product development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify such forward-looking statements by the words “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely,” “goal,” “assumes,” “targets” and similar expressions and/or the use of future tense or conditional constructions (such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should” and the like) and by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual operations or results to differ materially from the operations and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to the factors contained in “Item 1A — Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated by our subsequently filed Forms 10-Q or other documents we file with the SEC.  We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions of PSLRA. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance.
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s financial statements, which the Company has prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company 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, the Company evaluates such estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes 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.

Overview
 
We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company utilizing patented technology to develop longer-acting, proprietary versions of already-approved therapeutic proteins that currently generate billions of dollars in annual global sales.  We have obtained certain exclusive worldwide rights from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri to use a short, naturally-occurring amino acid sequence (peptide) that has the effect of slowing the removal from the body of the therapeutic protein to which it is attached.  This Carboxyl Terminal Peptide (CTP) can be readily attached to a wide array of existing therapeutic proteins, stabilizing the therapeutic protein in the bloodstream and extending its life span without additional toxicity or loss of desired biological activity.  We are using the CTP technology to develop new, proprietary versions of certain existing therapeutic proteins that have longer life spans than therapeutic proteins without CTP.  We believe that our products will have greatly improved therapeutic profiles and distinct market advantages.
 
We believe our products in development will provide several key advantages over our competitor’s existing products:
 
 
·
significant reduction in the number of injections required to achieve the same or superior therapeutic effect from the same dosage;
 
 
·
extended patent protection for proprietary new formulations of existing therapies;
 
 
·
faster commercialization with greater chance of success and lower costs than those typically associated with a new therapeutic protein; and
 
 
·
manufacturing using industry-standard biotechnology-based protein production processes.
 
Merck & Co. has developed the first novel protein containing CTP, named ELONVA®, a long-acting CTP-modified version of the fertility drug follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).  On January 28, 2010, Merck received marketing authorization from the European Commission for ELONVA® with unified labeling valid in all European Union Member States.  Merck licensed the CTP technology from Washington University (prior to the formation of Modigene Delaware) for application only to Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and three other hormones, human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH).  Our license for CTP technology extends to all other human therapeutic applications.
 
Our internal product development program is currently focused on extending the life span of the following biopharmaceuticals, in an effort to provide patients with improved therapies that may enhance their quality of life:
 
 
·
Human Growth Hormone (hGH)
 
 
·
Factor IX
 
 
·
Anti-Obesity Peptide Oxyntomodulin
 
 
·
Factor VIIa
 
 
·
Interferon β and Erythropoietin (EPO)
 
 
·
Atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis long-acting therapies
 
We believe that the CTP technology will be broadly applicable to these as well as other best-selling therapeutic proteins in the market and will be attractive to potential partners because it will allow them to extend proprietary rights for therapeutic proteins with near-term patent expirations.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The historical financial statements of the Company included with this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, on a consistent basis, are described below.
 
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Financial Statements in United States Dollars: The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar, as the U.S. dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company has operated and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. The majority of the operation of the Company’s R&D subsidiary, PROLOR Biotech Ltd. (formerly known as . ModigeneTech Ltd., “PROLOR LTD”), are currently conducted in Israel. Most of the Israeli expenses are currently determined and paid in U.S. dollars. Financing and investing activities including loans and equity transactions are made in U.S. dollars. The majority of our assets are held in the United States.
 
Monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars. All transaction gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
 
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Modigene Delaware, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PROLOR LTD. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Research and Development Costs and Participation: Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as they are incurred and consist of salaries, benefits and other personnel-related costs, fees paid to consultants, clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing costs, license and milestone fees, and facilities and overhead costs. R&D expenses consist of independent R&D costs and costs associated with collaborative R&D and in-licensing arrangements. Participation from government for development of approved projects are recognized as a reduction of expenses as the related costs are incurred.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subjected the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents.
 
Cash and cash equivalents are invested in major banks in Israel and the United States. Such deposits in the United States are not fully insured. 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 has no off-balance sheet concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
 
Royalty-bearing Grants: Royalty-bearing grants from the Government of Israel for participation in the development of approved projects are recognized as a reduction of expenses as the related costs are incurred. Funding is recognized at the time PROLOR LTD is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the costs incurred.
 
Research and development grants received by PROLOR LTD for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011 were $34,614, $688,504, $169,857, $745,823 and $3,553,454, respectively.
 
 
18

 
 
Loss per Share: Basic and diluted losses per share are presented in accordance with ASC 260-10 “Earnings per share”. Outstanding share options, warrants and restricted shares have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive.  The total weighted average number of shares of Common Stock related to outstanding options warrants and restricted shares excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share was 18,414,114, 20,035,195, 18,417,533, 16,077,467 and 18,401,045 for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011, respectively.
 
Results of Operation
 
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2010
 
Revenue
 
The Company has not generated any revenue from operations since its inception. To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily through grants from the Israeli Office of the Chief Scientist (the “OCS”) and the sale of equity securities. If the Company’s development efforts result in clinical success, regulatory approval and successful commercialization of the Company’s products, then the Company could generate revenue from sales of its products.
 
Research and Development Expense
 
The Company expects its research and development expense to increase as it continues to develop its product candidates. Research and development expense consists of:
 
 
·
internal costs associated with research and development activities;
 
 
·
payments made to third party contract research organizations, contract manufacturers, investigative sites, and consultants;
 
 
·
manufacturing development costs;
 
 
·
personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel, and related costs for the personnel involved in the research and development;
 
 
·
activities relating to the advancement of product candidates through preclinical studies and clinical trials; and
 
 
·
facilities and other expenses, which include expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, as well as laboratory and other supplies.
 
These costs and expenses are partially funded by grants received by the Company from the OCS. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to receive grants from the OCS in amounts sufficient for its operations, if at all.
 
The Company expects its research and development expenditures to increase significantly in the near future in connection with the ongoing production of its protein drug candidates. The Company intends to continue to hire new employees, in research and development, in order to meet its operation plans.

 
19

 
 
The Company has multiple research and development projects ongoing at any one time. The Company utilizes its internal resources, employees and infrastructure across multiple projects and tracks time spent by employees on specific projects. The Company believes that significant investment in product development is a competitive necessity and plans to continue these investments in order to realize the potential of its product candidates.
 
For the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011, the Company incurred net research and development expense of $2,377,205, $845,322, $5,412,466, $1,847,756 and $23,733,007, respectively. The increase for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the 2010 periods resulted primarily from an increase in development expenses associated with the manufacturing of high quantities of non-GMP and GMP of hGH-CTP, long term toxicology studies with hGH-CTP, and Phase II clinical trial expenses. The successful development of the Company’s product candidates is subject to numerous risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Beyond the next twelve months, and even during the next twelve months, the Company cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of, or the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows may commence from the Company’s product candidates or any of the Company’s other development efforts. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the duration and cost of clinical trials which vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of differences arising during clinical development, including:
 
 
·
completion of such preclinical and clinical trials;
 
 
·
receipt of necessary regulatory approvals;
 
 
·
the number of clinical sites included in the trials;
 
 
·
the length of time required to enroll suitable patients;
 
 
·
the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trials;
 
 
·
adverse medical events or side effects in treated patients;
 
 
·
lack of comparability with complementary technologies;
 
 
·
obtaining capital necessary to fund operations, including research and development efforts; and
 
 
·
the results of clinical trials.
 
The Company’s expenditures are subject to additional uncertainties, including the terms and timing of regulatory approvals, and the expense of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims or other intellectual property rights. The Company may obtain unexpected results from its clinical trials. The Company may elect to discontinue, delay or modify clinical trials of some product candidates or focus on others. A change in the outcome of any of the foregoing variables with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory authorities were to require the Company to conduct clinical trials beyond those which it currently anticipates will be required for the completion of the clinical development of a product candidate, or if the Company experiences significant delays in enrollment in any of its clinical trials, the Company could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development. Drug development may take several years and millions of dollars in development costs. If the Company does not obtain or maintain regulatory approval for its products, its financial condition and results of operations will be substantially harmed.

 
20

 
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other related costs, including stock-based compensation expense for persons serving in the Company’s executive and administration functions. Other general and administrative expense includes facility-related costs not otherwise included in research and development expense and professional fees for legal and accounting services. For the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011, the Company incurred general and administrative expense of $877,956, $642,636, $1,586,852, $1,128,129 and $15,263,421, respectively. The increase for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the 2010 period resulted mainly from an increase in stock-based compensation.  The Company added two employees in the second quarter of 2011 and expects that general and administrative expense will increase as the Company adds additional personnel.
 
Financial Expense and Income
 
Financial expense and income consists of the following:
 
 
·
interest earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents;
 
 
·
interest expense on short term bank credit and loans; and
 
 
·
expense or income resulting from fluctuations of the New Israeli Shekel, in which a portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated, against the U.S. dollar and the Euro.
 
For the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011, the Company incurred net financial income/(expense) of $165,230, ($240,659), $442,410, ($307,090) and $1,078,395, respectively. The financial income for the first and second quarters of 2011 increased as compared to the expense for the first and second quarter of 2010 primarily from favorable currency fluctuations on deposits in Israeli Shekels.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company’s stock-based compensation expense is recorded according to ASC 718-10, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans, based on estimated fair values.
 
ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. For the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $440,025, $223,915, $900,425, $467,283 and $8,979,635, respectively.  The increase for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the 2010 period was primarily due to a greater number of options granted and a higher fair value of such options on the respective grant dates.

The Company applies ASC 505 "Equity" with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees. ASC 505 requires the use of an option valuation model to measure the fair value of the options at the grant date.
 
Cash Flows
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $6,188,145, $2,688,413 and $27,746,995, respectively.  The increase in cash used in operating activities for the 2011 period as compared to the 2010 period was primarily due to increased R&D spending related to the hGH-CTP product candidate.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $2,456,660, $7,039,228 and $5,291,150, respectively. The increase for the 2011 period as compared to the 2010 period resulted primarily from increased purchases of property and equipment, as well as lower cash deposits in short-term interest accounts.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 31, 2005 (inception date) through June 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $181,304, $25,303,878 and $49,025,090, respectively. The decrease for the 2011 period as compared to the 2010 period resulted from our issuance of Common Stock in a private placement that closed in March 2010.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company expects to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. The Company expects to incur increasing research and development expenses, including expenses related to the hiring of personnel and additional clinical trials. The Company expects that general and administrative expenses will also increase as the Company expands its finance and administrative staff, adds infrastructure, and incurs additional costs related to being a public company in the United States, including the costs of directors’ and officers’ insurance, investor relations programs, and increased professional fees. Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the continued progress of our research and development of product candidates, the timing and outcome of clinical trials and regulatory approvals, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the status of competitive products, the availability of financing, and our success in developing markets for our product candidates.
 
At June 30, 2011, we had approximately $20.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, and we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements at least for the next fifteen months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and are subject to change, and we may be required to use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated clinical trials. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the progress and results of our clinical trials, the duration and cost of discovery and preclinical development, and laboratory testing and clinical trials for our product candidates, the timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates, the number and development requirements of other product candidates that we pursue, and the costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales, and distribution. We do not anticipate that we will generate product revenues for at least the next several years, and we expect continuing operating losses to result in increases in our cash used in operations over the next several years. To the extent that our capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we will need to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate any such offerings or financings or enter into any such arrangements on terms favorable to us or at all.

Effects of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation
 
Inflation generally affects the Company by increasing costs of labor and clinical trials. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its results of operations for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Currency fluctuations could affect the Company by increasing or decreasing costs mainly for goods and services acquired in Israel. The Company does not believe currency fluctuations have had a material effect on its results of operations for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2011.
