Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively with its subsidiary, the “Company”, unless the context indicates otherwise) 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 orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes.
On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is engaged in research and development.
On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware.
On November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Hefei Tianhui Incubation of Technologies Co. Ltd. (“HTIT”) and on December 21, 2015, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Technology License Agreement, that was further amended by the parties on June 3, 2016 and July 24, 2016 (the “License Agreement”). According to the License Agreement, the Company granted HTIT an exclusive commercialization license in the territory of the Peoples Republic of China, Macau and Hong Kong (the “Territory”), related to the Company’s oral insulin capsule, ORMD-0801. Pursuant to the License Agreement, HTIT will conduct, at its own expense, certain pre-commercialization and regulatory activities with respect to the Subsidiary’s technology and ORMD-0801 capsule, and will pay to the Subsidiary (i) royalties of 10% on net sales of the related commercialized products to be sold by HTIT in the Territory (“Royalties”), and (ii) an aggregate of $37,500, of which $3,000 is payable immediately, $8,000 will be paid subject to the Company entering into certain agreements with certain third parties, and $26,500 will be payable upon achievement of certain milestones and conditions. In the event that the Company does not meet certain conditions, the Royalties rate may be reduced to a minimum of 8%. Following the expiration of the Company's patents covering the technology in the Territory (the “Patents”), the Royalties rate may be reduced, under certain circumstances, to 5%. The Royalties term will commence upon the commercialization of the product and will end upon the later of the expiration of the Patents or fifteen years after the first commercialization of the product in the Territory.
Among others, the Company's involvement through the product submission date will include consultancy for the pre-commercialization activities in the Territory, as well as provide advice to HTIT on an ongoing basis.
The closing of the License Agreement was conditioned upon the approval of the Israel Innovation Authority (previously the Office of the Chief Scientist) of the Israeli Ministry of Economy & Industry (“IIA”), which was received on December 21, 2015.
The initial payment of $3,000 was received in January 2016 and the second payment of $6,500 was received in July 2016 following achievement of certain milestones. Since the Company entered into the required agreements with certain third parties, as detailed in notes 6h and 6i, it was entitled to $8,000 as of August 31, 2016, of which $4,000 was received in July 2016 and $4,000 was received in October 2016.
In addition, on November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with HTIT (the “SPA”). According to the SPA, the Company issued 1,155,367 shares of common stock to HTIT for $12,000. The transaction closed on December 28, 2015.
The License Agreement and the SPA were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the License Agreement and the SPA according to their fair value, as follows: $10,617 was allocated to the issuance of common stock (less issuance expenses of $23), based on the quoted price of the Company's shares on the closing date of the SPA on December 28, 2015, and $38,883 to the License Agreement. Given the Company's continuing involvement through the expected product submission (June 2023), amounts received relating to the License Agreement are recognized over the period from which the Company is entitled to the respective payment, and the expected product submission date using a time-based model approach over the periods that the fees are earned.
In July 2015, according to the letter of intent signed between the parties or their affiliates, HTIT's affiliate paid the Subsidiary a non-refundable amount of $500 as a no-shop fee. The no-shop fee was deferred and the related revenue is recognized over the estimated term of the License Agreement.
Amounts that were allocated to the License Agreement and milestone payments that the Company was entitled to receive as of August 2016, aggregated $19,383, all of which were received through October 2016. Through August 31, 2016, the Company recognized revenue in the amount of $641, and deferred the remaining amount of $14,766.
The Company is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field for 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 for delivery of other polypeptides, and has not generated significant revenues from its operations. Continued operation of the Company is contingent upon obtaining sufficient funding until it becomes profitable.
Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to selling its products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals to sell its products internationally, or entering into licensing agreements with third parties. 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.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statements date and the reported expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to stock-based compensation and to the expected product submission date for revenue recognition purposes.
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its Subsidiary are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). Therefore, the functional currency of the Company and its Subsidiary is the dollar.
Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For foreign transactions and other items reflected in the statements of operations, the following exchange rates are used: (1) for transactions - exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates and (2) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation) - historical exchange rates. The resulting transaction gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents.
The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities. 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:
As of August 31, 2016, the assets or liabilities measured at fair value are comprised of available for sale equity 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.
As of August 31, 2016, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
As of August 31, 2016, the carrying amount of long-term deposits approximates their fair values due to the stated interest rates which approximate market rates.
The fair value of held to maturity bonds as presented in note 3 was based on a level 1 measurement.
The amounts funded in respect of employee rights are stated at cash surrender value which approximates its fair value.
1) Available-for-sale securities
Available-for-sale equity securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income loss (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.
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.
2) Held to maturity securities
All debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. On a continuous basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s marketable securities may be impaired, which includes reviewing the underlying cause of any decline in value and the estimated recovery period, as well as the severity and duration of the decline. In the Company’s evaluation, the Company considers its ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the Company to recover its cost basis. A marketable security is impaired if the fair value of the security is less than the carrying value of the security and such difference is deemed to be other-than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the security over the estimated fair value in the security.
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term deposits and marketable securities which are deposited in major financial institutions. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respect of these balances is remote.
As of the date of issuing these financial statements, all amounts due from HTIT have been received, as described in note 1 above.
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements.
1. Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. See note 10.
Regarding the Subsidiary, the recognition is prohibited for deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local currency into dollars using historical exchange rates, and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes.
Consequently, the abovementioned differences were not reflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Taxes that would apply in the event of disposal of investments in the Subsidiary have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as it is the Company’s intention to hold this investment, not to realize it.
2. Uncertainty in income tax
The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such liabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within twelve months from the balance sheet date. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expenses.
Revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred, evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risks and rewards for the products are transferred to the customer, collection is reasonably assured and product returns can be reliably estimated.
Given the Company's continuing involvement through the expected product submission (June 2023), revenue from the License Agreement is recognized over the periods from which the Company is entitled to the respective payments (including milestones), and through the expected product submission date.
Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, employee benefits, the cost of supplies, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services related to the Company’s clinical trials, clinical trial expenses and the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research and 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. The Company outsources a substantial portion of its clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as Contract Research Organizations, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist the Company with the execution of its clinical studies. For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, clinical trial costs are expensed immediately.
Grants received from the IIA and from the Bio-Jerusalem fund (“Bio-Jerusalem”) are recognized as grant income when the grants become receivable, provided there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and there is reasonable assurance the grant will be received. The grants are deducted from the related research and development expenses as the costs are incurred and are presented in R&D expenses, net. See also notes 6(j) and 6(k).
Equity awards granted to employees are accounted for using the grant date fair value method. The fair value of share based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The expected service period is estimated using the simplified method due to insufficient specific historical information of employees' exercise behavior. The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method based on the multiple-option award approach. When stock options are granted as consideration for services provided by consultants and other non-employees, the transaction is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of the options granted is measured on a final basis at the end of the related service period and is recognized over the related service period using the straight-line method.
Basic and diluted net loss per common share are computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock units have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The total number of common stock options, warrants and restricted stock units excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss was 2,676,573, 2,249,164 and 2,159,046 for the years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company's marketable securities include investments in equity securities of D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd (“D.N.A”) and in held to maturity bonds.
Composition:
The D.N.A ordinary 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. D.N.A consummated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-two, effective October 4, 2015, and unless otherwise indicated, share amounts of D.N.A included in these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split.

Warrants [Abstract] | |
WARRANTS | NOTE 5 - WARRANTS
As part of the Company’s private placements in 2011 and 2012, three warrants to purchase in aggregate 311,797 shares were granted to one of the Company’s existing investors (the "Prior Investor") (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Warrants were granted for five years at an initial exercise price of $6.00 per share. The Prior Investor 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 the Prior Investor holds at least 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. In addition, the Prior Investor's Warrants included a full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the second year anniversary date after issuing the warrant, subject to certain limitations. 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 be updated.
As a result of a private placement in August 2012, and an agreement with D.N.A from October 2012, the warrant that was issued in 2011 was twice amended in such that its exercise price was reduced to $3.7656 per share and the number of shares issuable upon its exercise was increased to 290,459.
On November 29, 2012, the Company and the Prior Investor entered into a letter agreement (the “Agreement”) in connection with the Warrants, pursuant to the which, the Company and the Prior Investor agreed to amend the Warrants to remove the anti-dilution protection in its entirety. Following the removal of the anti-dilution protection, the Warrants were no longer classified as liabilities and were recorded as stockholders' equity. In addition, as to the Warrants issued in August and November 2012, the exercise price was reduced to $3.7656 per share. On that day, the Company also issued to the Prior Investor an additional warrant to purchase up to 137,311 shares of the Company over a period of four years at an exercise price of $7.20 per share. The fair value of the new warrant at the date of grant was $145, based on the Monte Carlo type model.
In addition to the new warrant, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and director (the “CEO”), 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 Warrants, as amended, would have been triggered and the number of shares of common stock of the Company that the Prior Investor would have been able to purchase under the Warrants would have increased by an aggregate number in excess of 137,311 shares, then the Prior Investor shall have the right to purchase from the CEO such number of shares of common stock of the Company owned by the CEO equal to such excess, up to a maximum of 112,690 shares of common stock of the Company (the “CEO Option”). The foregoing right shall survive until the expiration date of such Warrants.
The fair value of the CEO Option on the date of grant was $168, based on the Monte Carlo type model and was recognized as an expense against the stockholders' equity. On January 4, 2016, the CEO and the Prior Investor terminated the CEO Option.
There were no Level 3 items for the years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION | NOTE 8 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
As of August 31, 2016, the Company has one stock option plan, the Second Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, under which, the Company had reserved a pool of 2,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which may be issued at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time. Under this Plan, each option is exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company.
The options may be exercised after vesting and in accordance with vesting schedules which will be determined by the Board of Directors for each grant. The maximum term of the options is 10 years.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated at the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The volatility is based on a historical volatility, by statistical analysis of the weekly share price for past periods. The expected term is the length of time until the expected dates of exercising the options, and is estimated with respect to awards granted to employees using the simplified method due to insufficient specific historical information of employees' exercise behavior.
The following are the significant stock options transactions with employees, board members and non-employees made during the years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:
On August 24, 2016 the Company determined, with respect to three of these members of the Company's Board of Directors, to accelerate the second installment of their RSUs, such that 22,179 RSUs were vested on August 29, 2016 and their remaining 11,088 RSUs were forfeited.
On August 3, 2016 the consulting agreement with one of these consultants, to whom 12,000 options were granted, was terminated. As a result, as of August 31, 2016 only 3,000 options were vested, and the remaining 9,000 unvested options were forfeited. In addition, the expiration date of the 3,000 vested options was updated to November 3, 2016 (3 months following the termination date of the agreement).
As of August 31, 2016, the Company recorded stock based compensation expenses of $93 related to these awards.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
No options were granted in fiscal 2015.
A summary of the status of the stock options granted to employees and directors as of August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and changes during the years ended on those dates, is presented below:
Costs incurred in respect of stock-based compensation for employees and directors, for the years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $14, $278 and $1,422, respectively.
The total intrinsic value of employees' options exercised during the year ended August 31, 2014 was $2,847. The options exercised during the year ended August 31, 2015, were at a price equal to the market price at the exercise date. None of the options were exercised by employees during the year ended August 31, 2016.
The following table presents summary information concerning the options granted to employees and directors outstanding as of August 31, 2016:
All options granted to employees and directors that were outstanding as of August 31, 2016, were also exercisable as of August 31, 2016.

TAXES ON INCOME | NOTE 10 - TAXES ON INCOME:
Taxes on income included in the consolidated statements of operations represent current taxes due to taxable income of the Company and its Subsidiary.
The applicable corporate tax rate for the Company is 35%.
As of August 31, 2016, the Company has an accumulated tax loss carryforward of approximately $8,370 (as of August 31, 2015, approximately $7,678). Under U.S. tax laws, subject to certain limitations, carryforward tax losses expire 20 years after the year in which incurred. In the case of the Company, subject to potential limitations in accordance with the relevant law, the net loss carryforward will expire in the years 2025 through 2035.
The Subsidiary is taxed in accordance with Israeli tax laws. The corporate tax rate applicable to 2015 and 2014 is 26.5%.
In January 2016, the Law for the Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance (No.216) was published, enacting a reduction of corporate tax rate beginning in 2016 and thereafter, from 26.5% to 25%. There is no impact on the financial statements of the Company as a result of the changes in the Israeli corporate tax rate as the Subsidiary is in a loss position for tax purposes.
As of August 31, 2016, the Subsidiary has an accumulated tax loss carryforward of approximately $25,160 (as of August 31, 2015, approximately $14,245). Under the Israeli tax laws, carryforward tax losses have no expiration date.
Deferred income taxes:
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance.
Taxes on income of $1,350 is derived from withholding tax deducted from HTIT milestones payments, which were received during the year ended August 31, 2016, according to the License Agreement. As of August 31, 2016, the Company did not expect to reach taxable income in the 5 years following the balance sheet date, and therefore recognized this amount as taxes on income.
Following is a reconciliation of the theoretical tax expense, assuming all income is taxed at the regular tax rates applicable to companies in the United States, and the actual tax expense:
Accounting Standards Codification No.740 “Income Taxes” requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position. Changes in judgment as to recognition or measurement of tax positions can materially affect the estimate of the effective tax rate and consequently, affect the operating results of the Company. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to its tax contingencies as income tax expense. For the three years ended August 31, 2016, the Company did not record any amount for penalties related to tax contingencies.
The following table summarizes the activity of the Company unrecognized tax benefits:
The Company does not expect unrecognized tax expenses to change significantly over the next 12 months.
The Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the tax years of 2011 through 2016.
The Subsidiary is subject to Israeli income tax examinations for the tax years of 2012 through 2016.

General |
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively with its subsidiary, the “Company”, unless the context indicates otherwise) 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 orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes.
On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is engaged in research and development.
On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware.
On November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Hefei Tianhui Incubation of Technologies Co. Ltd. (“HTIT”) and on December 21, 2015, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Technology License Agreement, that was further amended by the parties on June 3, 2016 and July 24, 2016 (the “License Agreement”). According to the License Agreement, the Company granted HTIT an exclusive commercialization license in the territory of the Peoples Republic of China, Macau and Hong Kong (the “Territory”), related to the Company’s oral insulin capsule, ORMD-0801. Pursuant to the License Agreement, HTIT will conduct, at its own expense, certain pre-commercialization and regulatory activities with respect to the Subsidiary’s technology and ORMD-0801 capsule, and will pay to the Subsidiary (i) royalties of 10% on net sales of the related commercialized products to be sold by HTIT in the Territory (“Royalties”), and (ii) an aggregate of $37,500, of which $3,000 is payable immediately, $8,000 will be paid subject to the Company entering into certain agreements with certain third parties, and $26,500 will be payable upon achievement of certain milestones and conditions. In the event that the Company does not meet certain conditions, the Royalties rate may be reduced to a minimum of 8%. Following the expiration of the Company's patents covering the technology in the Territory (the “Patents”), the Royalties rate may be reduced, under certain circumstances, to 5%. The Royalties term will commence upon the commercialization of the product and will end upon the later of the expiration of the Patents or fifteen years after the first commercialization of the product in the Territory.
Among others, the Company's involvement through the product submission date will include consultancy for the pre-commercialization activities in the Territory, as well as provide advice to HTIT on an ongoing basis.
The closing of the License Agreement was conditioned upon the approval of the Israel Innovation Authority (previously the Office of the Chief Scientist) of the Israeli Ministry of Economy & Industry (“IIA”), which was received on December 21, 2015. The initial payment of $3,000 was received in January 2016 and the second payment of $6,500 was received in July 2016 following achievement of certain milestones. Since the Company entered into the required agreements with certain third parties, as detailed in notes 6h and 6i, it was entitled to $8,000 as of August 31, 2016, of which $4,000 was received in July 2016 and $4,000 was received in October 2016.
In addition, on November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with HTIT (the “SPA”). According to the SPA, the Company issued 1,155,367 shares of common stock to HTIT for $12,000. The transaction closed on December 28, 2015.
The License Agreement and the SPA were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the License Agreement and the SPA according to their fair value, as follows: $10,617 was allocated to the issuance of common stock (less issuance expenses of $23), based on the quoted price of the Company's shares on the closing date of the SPA on December 28, 2015, and $38,883 to the License Agreement. Given the Company's continuing involvement through the expected product submission (June 2023), amounts received relating to the License Agreement are recognized over the period from which the Company is entitled to the respective payment, and the expected product submission date using a time-based model approach over the periods that the fees are earned.
In July 2015, according to the letter of intent signed between the parties or their affiliates, HTIT's affiliate paid the Subsidiary a non-refundable amount of $500 as a no-shop fee. The no-shop fee was deferred and the related revenue is recognized over the estimated term of the License Agreement.
Amounts that were allocated to the License Agreement and milestone payments that the Company was entitled to receive as of August 2016, aggregated $19,383, all of which were received through October 2016. Through August 31, 2016, the Company recognized revenue in the amount of $641, and deferred the remaining amount of $14,766.
The Company is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field for 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 for delivery of other polypeptides, and has not generated significant revenues from its operations. Continued operation of the Company is contingent upon obtaining sufficient funding until it becomes profitable.
Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to selling its products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals to sell its products internationally, or entering into licensing agreements with third parties. 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. |

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to stock based compensation and to the expected product submission date for revenue recognition purposes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Functional currency |
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its Subsidiary are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). Therefore, the functional currency of the Company and its Subsidiary is the dollar.
Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For foreign transactions and other items reflected in the statements of operations, the following exchange rates are used: (1) for transactions - exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates and (2) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation) - historical exchange rates. The resulting transaction gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, as appropriate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Principles of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash equivalents |
The Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair value measurement |
The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities. 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:
As of August 31, 2016, the assets or liabilities measured at fair value are comprised of available for sale equity 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.
As of August 31, 2016, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
As of August 31, 2016, the carrying amount of long-term deposits approximates their fair values due to the stated interest rates which approximate market rates.
The fair value of held to maturity bonds as presented in note 3 was based on a level 1 measurement.
The amounts funded in respect of employee rights are stated at cash surrender value which approximates its fair value. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Marketable securities |
1) Available-for-sale securities
Available-for-sale equity securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income loss (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.
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.
2) Held to maturity securities
All debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. On a continuous basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s marketable securities may be impaired, which includes reviewing the underlying cause of any decline in value and the estimated recovery period, as well as the severity and duration of the decline. In the Company’s evaluation, the Company considers its ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the Company to recover its cost basis. A marketable security is impaired if the fair value of the security is less than the carrying value of the security and such difference is deemed to be other-than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the security over the estimated fair value in the security. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concentration of credit risks |
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term deposits and marketable securities which are deposited in major financial institutions. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respect of these balances is remote.
As of the date of issuing these financial statements, all amounts due from HTIT have been received, as described in note 1 above. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income taxes |
1. Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. See note 10.
Regarding the Subsidiary, the recognition is prohibited for deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local currency into dollars using historical exchange rates, and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the abovementioned differences were not reflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Taxes that would apply in the event of disposal of investments in the Subsidiary have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as it is the Company’s intention to hold this investment, not to realize it.
2. Uncertainty in income tax
The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such liabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within twelve months from the balance sheet date. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expenses. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred, evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risks and rewards for the products are transferred to the customer, collection is reasonably assured and product returns can be reliably estimated.
Given the Company's continuing involvement through the expected product submission (June 2023), revenue from the License Agreement is recognized over the periods from which the Company is entitled to the respective payments (including milestones), and through the expected product submission date. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Research and development, net |
Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, employee benefits, the cost of supplies, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services related to the Company’s clinical trials, clinical trial expenses and the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research and 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. The Company outsources a substantial portion of its clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as Contract Research Organizations, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist the Company with the execution of its clinical studies. For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, clinical trial costs are expensed immediately.
Grants received from the IIA and from the Bio-Jerusalem fund (“Bio-Jerusalem”) are recognized as grant income when the grants become receivable, provided there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and there is reasonable assurance the grant will be received. The grants are deducted from the related research and development expenses as the costs are incurred and are presented in R&D expenses, net. See also notes 6(j) and 6(k). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stock based compensation |
Equity awards granted to employees are accounted for using the grant date fair value method. The fair value of share based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The expected service period is estimated using the simplified method due to insufficient specific historical information of employees' exercise behavior. The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method based on the multiple-option award approach. When stock options are granted as consideration for services provided by consultants and other non-employees, the transaction is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of the options granted is measured on a final basis at the end of the related service period and is recognized over the related service period using the straight-line method. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Loss per common share |
Basic and diluted net loss per common share are computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock units have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The total number of common stock options, warrants and restricted stock units excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss was 2,676,573, 2,249,164 and 2,159,046 for the years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |

- Definition Tabular disclosure of warrants or rights issued. Warrants and rights outstanding are derivative securities that give the holder the right to purchase securities (usually equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often included in a new debt issue to entice investors by a higher return potential. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is measured in months. Disclose the title of issue of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the aggregate amount of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the date from which the warrants or rights are exercisable, and the price at which the warrant or right is exercisable.
