NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 
a.
General:

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd (“Hadasit”) (the “First Agreement”) to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, see also note 2a.
 
On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware.
 
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet generated any revenues from its operations.
 
On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd., which is engaged in research and development. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Group” refers to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its Israeli subsidiary, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), (together with the Company, "the Group").
 
The Group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field and is considered a development stage company in accordance with the ASC Topic 915 "Development Stage Entities".

Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA prior to selling its products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals must be obtained to sell its products internationally. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company’s ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities.
 
Based on its current cash resources and commitments, and cash received in private offerings in the year ended August 31, 2012 and the three month period ended November 30, 2012 (see note 4b), the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in general and administrative expenses or research and development expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months.

Newly issued and recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASC No. 220, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The Company can elect to present the items of net income and other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Under either method the statement would need to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. The amended guidance, which must be applied retroactively, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued another update on the topic, which deferred the effective date pertaining only to the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted the pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
 
 
c.
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements are not audited but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2012 Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2012. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year’s results.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE:
 
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:
 
Level 1:    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
 
Level 2:   Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
 
 
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
 
 
As of November 30, 2012 the assets or liabilities measured at fair value comprise of available for sale securities (level 1).
 
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.
 
Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income in equity until realized. Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are charged to statement of comprehensive loss as an impairment charge and are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under impairment of available-for-sale securities.
 
The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including the duration and extent to which fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment. Realized gains and losses on sales of the securities are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as financial income or expenses.
 
Marketable securities consist wholly of equity securities of D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd. ("D.N.A"), which were received in March 2011 as part of the consideration for selling the Company's equity method investee Entera, and in October 2012, as an option to purchase ordinary shares of D.N.A with no additional costs in exchange for the Company's common stock (the "D.N.A Option"). Those securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value.
 
The shares received on March 2011 are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") and have a quoted price. The fair value of those securities is measured at the quoted prices of the securities in an active market on the measurement date.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE (continued):
 
The D.N.A shares that will be received upon realizing the D.N.A Option will be restricted for a period of 6 months from realization date according to TASE policy with regards to private placements. The fair value of the D.N.A Option is measured based on the quoted prices of the otherwise identical unrestricted securities, adjusted for the effect of the restriction by applying a proper discount. The discount was determined with reference to other similar restricted instruments. The discount will be decreased over the restriction period.  As a result, the fair value of the D.N.A. Option at the closing date and as of November 30, 2012, reflects a discount of 8% on the quoted D.N.A share  price, based on similar transactions involving restricted shares of pharmaceutical companies under TASE lock-up rules.
 
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are recognized in the beginning of the reporting period.

Financial assets carried at fair value as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012 are classified in the tables below in one of the three categories described above:

NOTE 4 - STOCK HOLDERS’ EQUITY:
 
 
a.
In September 2012, the Company issued 67,819 shares of its common stock and 33,910 common stock purchase warrant to an investor, with whom the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreement in August 2012.
 
 
b.
BetweenSeptember and November 2012, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with a number of investors for the sale of 3,957,905 units at a purchase price of $0.37 per unit for total consideration of $1,464,425. Each unit consisted of one share of the Company's common stock and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 0.50 a share of common stock exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The investors were granted customary registration rights with respect to resales of shares, including the shares underlying the warrants.  In addition, one of the investors who was previously considered as a leading investor (the "Leading Investor") , who purchased 405,405 of the units, was granted the right to maintain its percentage of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding by purchasing more shares whenever the Company proposes to issue certain additional shares to other investors.  Such right only exists so long as such investor holds at least 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock.  In addition, such investor’s warrants contained anti-dilution protection (the "full ratchet anti-dilution protection") and cashless exercise provisions not contained in the other investors’ warrants.  The other terms of the Leading Investor's Securities Purchase Agreement were substantially the same as those granted to him in 2011 for his first investment. See also note 5.
 
As finder's fee, in connection with the securities purchase agreements, the Company paid cash consideration of $5,385 and might be required to pay additional $7,500, as well as issued 13,514 shares of the Company's common stock and 6,757 common stock purchase warrant for another individual. The Company will also issue 152,939 shares of the Company's common stock and 76,470 common stock purchase warrant to a director as finder's fee with respect to the Securities Purchase Agreements described above and to Securities Purchase Agreements to which the Company had entered into in August 2012.
 
 
c.
On October 30, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with D.N.A, according to which, the Company issued on that day to D.N.A 2,390,057 shares of its common stock, in consideration for the option to purchase up to 21,637,611 ordinary shares of D.N.A, valued at approximately $628,630 at the day of the transaction. D.N.A has filed an application for the approval of the TASE to list the ordinary shares of D.N.A issuable upon exercise of the D.N.A Option.  Mr. Zeev Bronfeld, a controlling shareholder of D.N.A, beneficially owned 7.1% of the Company's outstanding common stock prior to the transaction. As a result of the -holding of Mr. Bronfeld, the Israeli Securities Authority ("ISA") informed D.N.A that in its opinion the procedure of approving the transaction by D.N.A was not in accordance with the applicable law.  The Company, based on a legal opinion it has received from counsel, is in the opinion that the procedure was in order, based on precedents and their experience with similar cases.
 
Following the exercise of the D.N.A Option, the Company will hold approximately 14.5% of D.N.A's outstanding ordinary shares, which includes the 8,404,667 D.N.A shares that were issued to the Company in March 2011.

The warrants included a full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the second year anniversary date after issuing the warrant, subject to certain limitations and while the warrant was outstanding.  In the event the Company was to issue or sell any common stock for a consideration per share lower than the exercise price then in effect, or was to issue or sell any options, warrants or other rights for the purchase or acquisition of such shares at a consideration per share of less than the exercise price then in effect, the warrants were to be amended to (a) reduce the exercise price to an amount equal to the per share consideration payable to the company in such sale or issuance, and (b) the quantity of warrants were to updated, based on certain rules as determined in the Warrants Agreements with the Leading Investor.
 
As a result of a private placements in August 2012, and pursuant to adjustment terms of the 2011 Warrants, such warrant was amended to: (i) reduce the exercise price from $0.50 to $0.37, (ii) increase the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant from 2,187,500 to 2,956,081.
 
In addition, as a result of the agreement with D.N.A, as described in note 4c, and pursuant to adjustment terms of the 2011 Warrants, the Company further amended the 2011 Warrants by: (i) reducing the exercise price from $0.37 to $0.3138 and (ii) increasing the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2011 Warrants from 2,956,081 to 3,485,500.  
 
On November 29, 2012, the Company and the Leading Investor entered into a letter agreement (the "Agreement") in connection with the Three Warrants. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and the Leading Investor agreed to amend the Three Warrants to provide that the anti-dilution protection of each of the Three Warrants shall be removed in its entirety. In addition, as to the Warrants issued in August and November 2012, the parties agreed that the exercise price shall be reduced to $0.3138. On that day, the Company also issued to the Leading Investor a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "New Warrant") pursuant to which, the Leading Investor shall have the right to purchase up to 1,647,722 shares of the common stock of the Company over a period of four years at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The fair value of the New Warrant on the date of grant, was $145,173, using the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 4 years; expected volatility of 62.29%; and risk-free interest rate of 0.57%.
 
The fair value of the warrants was determined by using Monte Carlo type model based on the risk neutral approach.  The model takes as an input the estimated future dates when new capital will be raised, and builds a multi-step dynamic model.  The first step is to model the risk neutral distribution of the share value on the new issue dates, then for each path to use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of the warrants on the last issue date including all the changes in exercise price and quantity along this path. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the future expected issue dates. Significant delay in this input would result a higher fair value measurement.

NOTE 5 - WARRANTS (continued):
 
In addition to the New Warrant, Nadav Kidron, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and director, in his personal capacity as a shareholder of the Company, undertook and agreed that following the execution and delivery of the Agreement, in the event that an adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protection of any of the Three Warrants (had it not been amended by the Agreement thereof) would have been triggered and the number of shares of common stock of the Company that the Leading Investor would have been able to purchase under the Three Warrants would have increased by an aggregate number in excess of 1,647,722 shares, then the Leading Investor shall have the right to purchase from Mr. Kidron such number of shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Kidron equal to such excess, up to a maximum of 1,352,278 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Kidron Option"). The foregoing right shall survive until the termination of such Three Warrants. The fair value of the Kidron Option on the date of grant was $168,220, based on the Monte Carlo type model that is described above.
 
Pursuant to the removal of the anti-dilution protection, the Three Warrants were no longer classified as liabilities. The Company recognized a financial expense in the amount of $296,982.
 
Financial liabilities carried at fair value as of August 31, 2012, are classified in the tables below in one of the three fair value categories:

Overview of Operations
 
We are a pharmaceutical company currently engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules or pills for delivery of other polypeptides.

Recent business developments and financing activities
 
In September 2012, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with Medpace, Inc., or Medpace, to retain Medpace as a contract research organization, or CRO, for our upcoming Phase 2 clinical trial for an oral insulin capsule that is expected to start in the first calendar quarter of 2013 in the United States, and is expected to be completed in September 2013.  As consideration for its services, we will pay Medpace a total amount of approximately $3,500,000 during the term of the engagement, based on the achievement of certain milestones.
 
In October 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd., an Israeli company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or D.N.A, according to which, we issued to D.N.A 2,390,057 shares of our common stock  in consideration for a warrant to purchase up to 21,637,611 ordinary shares of D.N.A, or the D.N.A Warrant.  D.N.A has filed an application for the approval of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange to list the ordinary shares of D.N.A issuable upon exercise of the D.N.A Warrant.  Mr. Zeev Bronfeld, a controlling shareholder of D.N.A, beneficially owned 7.1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior to the transaction. As a result of the -holding of Mr. Bronfeld, the Israeli Securities Authority  informed D.N.A that in its opinion the procedure of approving the transaction by D.N.A was not in accordance with the applicable law.  The Company, based on a legal opinion it has received from counsel, is in the opinion that the procedure was in order, based on precedents and their experience with similar cases. Should we exercise the D.N.A Warrant, we will hold approximately 14.5% of D.N.A’s outstanding ordinary shares, which includes 8,404,667 ordinary D.N.A shares that were previously issued in March 2011.
 
Between September and November 2012, we completed private placements pursuant to which we sold to certain investors an aggregate of 4,025,724 “units” at a purchase price of $0.37 per unit for total consideration of $1,489,518.  Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase 0.50 of a share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  In connection with such private placements, we paid cash compensation of $5,385 and might be required to pay additional cash compensation of $7,500. We also issued 13,514 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 6,757 shares of common stock as finders’ fees in connection with the private placements and will issue 152,939 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 76,470 shares of common stock as finder’s fee to one of our directors, Leonard Sank.
 
In November 2012, we entered into a letter agreement, or the Agreement, with Regals Fund LP, or Regals, in connection with (i) the warrant originally issued in January 2011, as amended in August 2012 and November 2012, to purchase up to 3,485,500 shares of our common stock, (ii) the warrant dated August 28, 2012, to purchase up to 1,351,352 shares of our common stock and (iii) the warrant dated November 5, 2012, to purchase up to 202,703 shares of our common stock , or together, the Warrants.    Pursuant to the Agreement, we and Regals agreed to amend the Warrants (and to prepare and execute amendments to the Warrants setting forth such terms as soon as reasonably practicable) to provide that the anti-dilution protection of  the Warrants shall be deleted in its entirety. In addition, as to the warrants issued in August and November 2012, the parties agreed that the exercise price shall be reduced to $0.3138 per share, the current exercise price per share of the warrants originally issued in January 2011. At such time, we also issued to Regals a warrant, or the New Warrant, pursuant to which Regals shall have the right to purchase up to 1,647,722 shares of our common stock over a period of four years at an exercise price of $0.60 per share.

In connection with the New Warrant, Nadav Kidron, our President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, in his personal capacity as one of our  shareholders, agreed that following the execution and delivery of the Agreement, in the event that an adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protection of the Warrants (had they not been amended by the Agreement) would have been triggered and the number of shares of our common stock that Regals would have been able to purchase under the Warrants would have increased by an aggregate number in excess of 1,647,722 common shares, then Regals shall have the right to purchase from Mr. Kidron such number of shares of our common stock owned by Mr. Kidron, up to a maximum of 1,352,278 shares of our common stock. This right shall survive until the termination of the Warrants.

Research and development expenses

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

Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. We outsource a substantial portion of our clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as CROs, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist us with the execution of our clinical studies.

Clinical activities which relate principally to clinical sites and other administrative functions to manage our clinical trials are performed primarily by CROs. CROs typically perform most of the start-up activities for our trials, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-study visits, training, and program management.

Clinical trial and pre-clinical trial expenses include regulatory and scientific consultants’ compensation and fees, research expenses, purchase of materials, cost of manufacturing of the oral insulin capsules, payments for patient recruitment and treatment, costs related to the maintenance of our registered patents, costs related to the filings of patent applications, as well as salaries and related expenses of research and development staff.

During the three months ended November 30, 2012, research and development expenses totaled $392,626, compared to $184,016 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase is mainly attributed to the preparation for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved Phase 2 study that will follow the expected Investigational New Drug, or IND, filing in the fourth calendar quarter of 2012.  The research and development costs include stock based compensation costs, which during the three months ended November 30, 2012 totaled $78,438 as compared to $24,605 during the three months ended November 30, 2011.
 
Government grants
 
In May 2012, Oramed Ltd. was granted a third grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 595,000 (approximately $148,000) from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of Israel, or OCS, which was designated for research and development expenses for the period of September 2012 to December 2012.  We used the funds to support further research and development and clinical studies of our oral insulin capsule and oral GLP-1 analog.
 
In the three months ended November 30, 2012, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $10,058 from the OCS, and in the three months ended November 30, 2011, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $41,257 from OCS.  As of November 30, 2012, we had no contingent liabilities to the OCS.
 
Grants from the Bio-Jerusalem fund
 
We are committed to pay royalties to the Bio-Jerusalem fund on proceeds from future sales at a rate of 4% and up to 100% of the amount of the grant received by the Company (Israeli CPI linked) in the total amount of $65,053.  As of November 30, 2012, we had not yet realized any revenues since inception and thus did not incur any royalty liability to the Bio-Jerusalem fund.

For the three month periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, we received $12,320 and $0, respectively, from the Bio-Jerusalem fund.

General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses include the salaries and related expenses of our management, consulting costs, legal and professional fees, traveling, business development costs, insurance expenses and other general costs.

For the three months ended November 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses totaled $339,213 compared to $281,901 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the three months ended November 30, 2012, reflect an increase in stock options granted to employees and consultants of $113,079. The increase in general and administrative expenses was partially offset by a decrease in investor relations costs, most of which were paid in the three months ended November 30, 2011 with our common stock and warrants to purchase common stock. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $139,770 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $26,691 during the three months ended November 30, 2011.

Financial income/expense, net
 
Financial expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2012 includes an expense of $296,982 resulting mainly from the removal of the anti-dilution protections from warrant liabilities and the grant of new warrants.
 
In the three months ended November 30, 2012, we incurred revenues from exchange rate differences as well as interest income on available cash and cash equivalents that were partially offset by bank charges.  In the three months ended November 30, 2011, we received a higher amount of interest income on available cash and cash equivalents which was offset by bank charges.
 
Liquidity and capital resources
 
From inception through November 30, 2012, we incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $18,850,530. We have financed our operations through the private placements of equity financing, raising a total of $16,603,071, net of transaction costs. We will seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources in the future as needed.  As of November 30, 2012, we had $5,531,075 of available cash. We anticipate that we will require approximately $4.9 million to finance our activities during the 12 months following November 30, 2012.
 
Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as we will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing stockholders as well as through additional funding from the OCS.
 
During the three month period ended November 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,100,335 from the $4,430,740 reported as of August 31, 2012, which is due to the reasons described below.
 
Operating activities used cash of $792,826 in the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $484,070 in the three months ended November 30, 2011. Cash used for operating activities in the three months ended November 30, 2012 primarily consisted of net loss resulting from research and development and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by stock based compensation adjustments and common stock issuances, while cash used by operating activities in the three months ended November 30, 2011 primarily consisted of net loss resulting from research and development and general and administrative expenses.

During the three months period ended November 30, 2012, of the $10,058 OCS grants we recognized during such period, we received none towards our research and development expenses, as was also the case in the three months ended November 30, 2011.  The amounts that were recognized but not received during the three months ended November 30, 2012 are expected to be received from the OCS following the submission of periodic and final reports by Oramed Ltd., and their examination by the OCS.  The OCS has supported our activity in the past three years.

Investing activities provided cash of $454,227 in the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $448,939 in the three months ended November 30, 2011. Cash provided by investing activities in the three months ended November 30, 2012 consisted primarily of proceeds from short-term bank deposits.  Cash provided by investing activities in the three months ended November 30, 2011 consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of our investment in Entera Bio Ltd.

Financing activities provided cash of $1,458,436 in the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.  Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2012 consisted of proceeds from our issuance of common stock and warrants as further discussed above under “Overview of Operations—Recent business developments and financing activities”.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of November 30, 2012, we had no off balance sheet arrangements  that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
 
Planned Expenditures
 
The estimated expenses referenced herein are in accordance with our business plan. Since our technology is still in the development stage, it can be expected that there will be changes in some budgetary items. Our planned expenditures for the twelve months beginning December 1, 2012 are as follows:
 
Category
 
Amount
 
       
Research and development, net of OCS funds
  $ 3,840,000  
General and administrative expenses
    1,024,000  
Financial income, net
    (12,000 )
Total
  $ 4,852,000  
 
As indicated in our Annual Report, we are planning to conduct further clinical studies as well as file an IND application with the FDA for our orally ingested insulin during the fourth calendar quarter of 2012.  We expect to have a significant increase in research and development expenses as a result of preparation for the FDA approved Phase 2 study that will follow the IND filing, and during the term of the study.  Our ability to complete these activities is dependent on several major factors including the ability to attract sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us and receiving additional grants from the OCS.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2012.  Due to the inherent limitations of our Company, derived from our small size and the limited number of employees, the management evaluation concluded that there is a material weakness with respect to segregation of duties that may not provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of disclosure controls and procedures and may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Specifically, our Chief Financial Officer serves as our only qualified internal accounting and financial reporting personnel and as such performs all accounting and financial reporting functions without the benefit of independent checks, confirmations or backup other than bookkeeping functions performed by an outside accounting firm.  Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that the Company did not have in place effective controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
