NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 
a.
General:
 
 
1)
Incorporation and operations
 
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”) to acquire the provisional patent related to an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. In subsequent periods, the Company entered into additional development agreements with Hadasit, the most recent of which was signed on September 11, 2011. See also note 2a.
 
On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware.
 
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”).
 
 
2)
Development and liquidity risks
 
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet generated any revenues from its operations. Continued operation of the Company is contingent upon obtaining sufficient funding until it becomes profitable.

The Group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field and is considered a development stage company in accordance with ASC Topic 915 "Development Stage Entities", due to the fact that it has not generated any revenues from its operations.
 
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.

Newly issued and recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires presentation, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income, but only if the amounts reclassified are required to be reclassified in their entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about these amounts. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have any material effect on the consolidated financial statement presentation.
 
 
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, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair statement 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 Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 2013 Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year’s results.

Grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Economy (formerly the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor) of Israel ("OCS")

Under the terms of the Company’s funding from the Israeli Government, royalties of 3%-3.5% are payable on sales of products developed from a project so funded, up to 100% of the amount of the grant received by the Company (dollar linked) with the addition of annual interest at a rate based on LIBOR
 
At the time the grants were received, successful development of the related projects was not assured. In case of failure of a project that was partly financed as above, the Company is not obligated to pay any such royalties.

On February 28, 2014, the Subsidiary had not yet realized any revenues from the said project and did not incur any royalty liability. The total amount that was actually received through February 28, 2014 is $1,783,994.

For the six and three month periods ended February 28, 2014, the research and development expenses are presented net of OCS and Bio-Jerusalem fund grants, in the total amount of $139,441 and $72,984, respectively.
 
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:
Observable prices that are based on 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 February 28, 2014 and August 31, 2013 the assets or liabilities measured at fair value were comprised of available for sale securities (level 1). See also note 4.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE (continued):

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.
 
As of February 28, 2014, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, accounts receivable, other current assets and accounts payables and accrued expenses approximates their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
 
The fair value of long-term deposits also approximates their carrying value, since they bear interest at rates close to the prevailing market rates. The amounts funded in respect of employee rights are stated at cash surrender value which approximates its fair value.
 
In order to secure the fulfillment of the Company’s obligations under credit cards, the Company has placed a restricted deposit with the bank in an amount of $16,000.
 
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 operations as financial income or expenses.
 
NOTE 4 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
 
As of February 28, 2014, marketable securities consisted wholly of equity securities of D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd ("D.N.A").

During the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Subsidiary sold in aggregate 1,625,989 of the D.N.A shares for a total of $80,249.
 
As of February 28, 2014, the Group owns approximately 10.3% of D.N.A’s outstanding ordinary shares.

The cost of the securities sold and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into financial income (amounting to $44,391 during the six month period ended February 28, 2014), were determined by specific identification.

The D.N.A. shares are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and have a quoted price. The fair value of those securities is measured at the quoted prices of the securities on the measurement date.
 
As of February 28, 2014 and August 31, 2013, the available for sale securities are classified as level 1 as described in the table below:
 
   
Level 1
 
Marketable securities:
     
February 28, 2014
  $ 1,464,100  
August 31, 2013
  $ 956,376  
 
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 operations as an impairment charge and are included in the consolidated statement of operations under impairment of available-for-sale securities.

ITEM 2 - 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 the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein and in our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report (as defined below).   
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including the section regarding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws, regarding our business, clinical trials, financial condition, expenditures, results of operations and prospects. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “planned expenditures,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not deemed to represent an all-inclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements as denoted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Additionally, statements concerning future matters are forward-looking statements.

Recent business developments and financing activities
 
In September 2013, we submitted a pre-Investigational New Drug, or pre-IND, package to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for ORMD-0901, our oral exenatide capsule, for a Phase 2 clinical trial on healthy volunteers and type 2 diabetic patients.  We expect to begin a non-U.S. based Phase 1a trial and IND-enabling studies in the third quarter of calendar year 2014.

During the months September through December 2013, we received allowance for a patent entitled "Methods and Compositions for Oral Administrations of Proteins," from the Australian, Chinese, Israeli, Russian, Canadian, Japanese and European Patent Offices. The Australian and Japanese Patent Offices issued this patent in October 2013.

In December 2013, we received allowance for a patent entitled "Methods and Compositions for Oral Administration of Exenatide," from the Israeli Patent Office.

In December 2013, we completed and reported successful results in a non-U.S. clinical trial testing the pharmacokinetic dose response of our orally ingestible insulin capsule in type 1 diabetes patients.
 
We originally filed an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, with the FDA in December 2012 for clearance to begin a Phase 2 clinical trial of ORMD-0801, in order to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule on type 2 diabetic volunteers. Because the identical formulation of ORMD-0801 had not yet been studied in humans at bedtime, in February 2013 the FDA noted concerns about mitigating potential risks of severe hypoglycemia and requested that we perform a sub-study in a controlled in-patient setting for a one-week period prior to beginning the larger multi-centered Phase 2 trial. As a result, we withdrew the original IND and, in April 2013, we submitted a new IND for the Phase 2a sub-study. Following the FDA’s clearance to proceed in May 2013, we began the Phase 2a sub-study in July 2013. As we announced in January 2014, the Phase 2a sub-study met all primary and secondary endpoints. Specifically, the Phase 2a study evaluated the pharmacodynamic effects of ORMD 0801 on mean nighttime glucose (determined using a continuous glucose monitor). The results show that the ORMD-0801, has exhibited a sound safety profile, led to reduced mean daytime and nighttime glucose readings, when compared to placebo and lowered fasting blood glucose concentrations, when compared to placebo. In addition, no serious adverse events occurred during the Phase 2a study, and the only adverse events that occurred during the study were not drug related. In light of these results, we believe that we should move forward with the Phase 2b clinical trial, which we anticipate beginning in the third quarter of calendar year 2014. This clinical trial will be designed to assess the safety and efficacy of ORMD-0801 and its structure is still under design by us.
 
In December 2013, we entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with Aegis Capital Corp., or Aegis, pursuant to which Aegis agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of up to 1,580,000 shares of our common stock.  In connection therewith, on December 30, 2013, we also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 1,580,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $10.00 per share, to two institutional investors in a registered direct offering, or the Offering. We received all funds and issued all shares of common stock in connection with the Offering in December 2013. Our aggregate net proceeds from the offering were approximately $14,887,085, after deducting Placement Agents' commissions and estimated offering expenses.

In February 2014, we submitted a protocol to the FDA to initiate a Phase 2a trial of our oral insulin capsule for type 1 diabetes volunteers. The protocol was submitted under our existing IND to include both type 1 and type 2 diabetes indications. The double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, seven-day study design will be carried out at an inpatient setting on twenty-four type 1 diabetic patients. We began this study in March 2014.

In January 2014, we received Notices of Allowance from the Israeli and Australian Patent Offices for the patent entitled "Methods and Compositions for Oral Administrations of Proteins". In March 2014, we were granted a patent entitled "Methods and Compositions for Oral Administration of Exenatide" from the Australian Patent Office.

Research and development expenses

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

Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. We outsource a substantial portion of our clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as contract research organizations, or 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 six months ended February 28, 2014, research and development expenses totaled $1,423,844, compared to $1,141,622 for the six months ended February 28, 2013. The increase is mainly attributed to the increase in research and development staff and to cash bonuses to research and development staff for the Company's 2013 achievements, as well as to the increase in stock based compensation costs, which during the six months ended February 28, 2014 totaled $295,284, as compared to $169,501 during the six months ended February 28, 2013. The increase in stock based compensation costs is attributed to awards granted to research and development staff.
 
During the three months ended February 28, 2014, research and development expenses totaled $673,334, compared to $748,996 for the three months ended February 28 2013.  The decrease in research and development expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2014, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2013, is mainly attributable to the decrease in expenses related to the preparation to the Phase 2b clinical trial that was planned to begin in early calendar year 2013.
 
Government grants
 
In May 2013, Oramed Ltd., or the Subsidiary, was granted a fourth grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 975,000 (approximately $265,000) from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Economy (formerly the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor) of Israel, or OCS, which was designated for research and development expenses for the period of January 2013 to December 2013. In March 2014, the OCS accepted the Subsidiary's application to shorten that period to ten months, ending October 31, 2013. In March 2013, the Subsidiary was also granted a fifth grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 1,206,990 (approximately $345,000) from the OCS, which was designated for research and development expenses for the period of November 2013 to October 2014. 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 six months ended February 28, 2014, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $139,441, and in the six months ended February 28, 2013, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $22,378.  As of February 28, 2014, we had no contingent liabilities to the OCS.

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

For the six months ended February 28, 2014, general and administrative expenses totaled $929,979 compared to $850,047 for the six months ended February 28, 2013. The increase in costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the six months ended February 28, 2014, reflects an increase in salaries and related expenses resulting from cash bonuses to employees for the Company's 2013 achievements, that was partially offset by a decrease in stock based compensation costs  of options granted to employees and consultants, of $233,730. During the six months ended February 28, 2014, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $37,853 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $271,583 during the six months ended February 28, 2013.
 
For the three months ended February 28, 2014, general and administrative expenses totaled $512,252 compared to $510,834 for the three months ended February 28, 2013. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2014, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2013, is attributable to the same reasons discussed above.
 
Financial (income) expense, net
 
Net financial expense decreased from net expense of $192,958 for the six months ended February 28, 2013 to net income of $114,661 for the February 28, 2014. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease of warrant liabilities attributable to warrants held by Regals Fund LP and corresponding increase in stockholders’ equity on February 28, 2013, as a result of the removal of the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, which resulted in a net cost of $296,982, and from an increase in interest income on available cash and cash equivalents primarily due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents balance that resulted from public offerings completed in July and December 2013.
 
During the three months ended February 28, 2014, financial income totaled $70,744, compared to $33,956 for the three months ended February 28, 2013.  The increase in financial income during the three months ended February 28, 2014, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2013, is attributable to a higher amount of interest income on available cash and cash equivalents, as discussed above.
 
Other comprehensive income
 
Subsequent increase in the fair value of available for sale securities previously written down as impaired for the six months ended February 28, 2014 of $53,820 resulted from the increase in fair value of the ordinary shares of D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd, or D.N.A, that we hold. Reclassification adjustments for gains included in net loss for the six months ended February 28, 2014 of $44,391, resulted from the sale of 1,625,989 of our D.N.A ordinary shares in October and November 2013 and January 2014. Unrealized gains on available for sale securities for the six months ended February 28, 2014 of $534,153, resulted from the increase in fair value of our D.N.A ordinary shares.

Liquidity and capital resources
 
From inception through February 28, 2014, we have incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $24,362,751. During that period we have financed our operations through several private placements of our common stock, as well as public offerings of our common stock in July and December 2013, raising a total of $35,746,638, net of transaction costs.  During that period we also received cash consideration of $1,717,237 from exercise of warrants and options. We will seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources in the future as needed. As of February 28, 2014, we had $3,252,911 of available cash, $18,633,526 of short term bank deposits and $1,464,100 of marketable securities. Marketable securities are presented at fair value and their realization is subject to certain limitations if sold through the market, and we are therefore exposed to market risk. There is no assurance that at the time of sale of the marketable securities the price per share will be the same or higher, nor that we will be able to sell all of the securities at once given the volume of securities we hold. We anticipate that we will require approximately $12 million to finance our activities during the 12 months following February 28, 2014.
 
Management continues to evaluate various financing alternatives for funding 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, future public offerings, and additional funding from the OCS.
 
During the six month period ended February 28, 2014, cash and cash equivalents increased to $3,252,911 from the $2,272,228 reported as of August 31, 2013, which is due to the reasons described below.
 
Operating activities used cash of $2,230,938 in the six month period ended February 28, 2014, as compared to $2,065,590 used in the six months February 28, 2013. Cash used for operating activities in the six months ended February 28, 2014 primarily consisted of net loss resulting from research and development and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by stock based compensation adjustments, while cash used by operating activities in the six months February 28, 2013, primarily consisted of net loss resulting from research and development and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by stock based compensation adjustments and exchange of warrants.

During the six month period ended February 28, 2014, we received $124,784 in OCS grants towards our research and development expenses, of which $66,547 was recognized during such period and $58,237 was recognized in the year ended August 31, 2013. In the six month period ended February 28, 2013, we did not receive any grants from the OCS.  The amounts that were recognized but not received during the six month period ended February 28, 2013, were received from the OCS during fiscal year 2013. The OCS has supported our activity in the past three years.

Investing activities used cash of $13,293,344 in the six month period ended February 28, 2014, as compared to $1,750,018 that was used in the six month period ended February 28, 2013. Cash used in investing activities in both the six months ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 consisted primarily of the acquisition of short-term bank deposits.

Financing activities provided cash of $16,494,983 in the six month period ended February 28, 2014, as compared to $1,450,936 of cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended February 28, 2013, which consisted of proceeds from our issuance of common stock and proceeds from exercise of warrants and options in the six months ended February 28, 2014 and of proceeds from our issuance of common stock and warrants in the six months ended February 28, 2013.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
 
As of February 28, 2014, 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 March 1, 2014 are as follows:
