NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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 (the “First Agreement”) to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin pill to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet realized 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”).

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 (formerly FAS 7) “Development Stage Entities”.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of February 28, 2010 and for the six months then ended, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended February 28, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2010.

Going concern considerations

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has net losses for the period from inception (April 12, 2002) through February 28, 2010 of $11,013,682 as well as negative cash flow from operating activities. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its requirements in the twelve months following February 28, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as the Company 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 the Company 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 shareholders, as well as on going funding from the Office of the Chief Scientist ("OCS").

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.

Newly issued and recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 ("ASU 2010-09"), "Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements," which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC's requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.

Reclassification:

Certain figures in respect of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

On January 7, 2009, the Company entered into a second agreement with Hadasit (the “Second Agreement”) which confirms that Hadasit has conveyed, transferred and assigned all of its ownership rights in the patents acquired under the First Agreement to the Company, and certain other patents filed by the Company after the First Agreement as a result of the collaboration between the Company and Hadasit.

On July 8, 2009 the Company entered into a third agreement with Hadasit, Prof. Itamar Raz and Dr. Miriam Kidron ("the Third Agreement"), to provide consulting and clinical trial services.

In consideration for the services provided under the agreement, ADRES will be entitled to a total cash compensation of $211,000, of which the amount $110,000 will be paid as a monthly fixed fee of $10,000 each month for 11 months commencing May 2009, and the remaining $101,000 will be paid based on achievement of certain milestones. $120,000 of the total amount was paid through February 28, 2010.

The total cost estimated for the studies is €107,100 of which €12,195 was paid through February 28, 2010.

Grants from the Chief Scientist Office ("OCS")

The Subsidiary is obligated to pay royalties to the OCS on proceeds from the sale of products developed from research and development activities that were funded, partially, by grants from the OCS. In the case of failure of a project that was partly financed as described above, the Subsidiary is not obligated to pay any such royalties or repay funding received from the OCS.

Under the terms of the funding arrangements with the OCS, royalties of 3% to 3.5% are payable on the sale of products developed from projects funded by the OCS, which payments shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 100% of the amount of the grant received (dollar linked), plus interest at annual rate based on LIBOR. In addition, if the Subsidiary receives approval to manufacture the products developed with government grants outside the State of Israel, it will be required to pay an increased total amount of royalties (possibly up to 300% of the grant amounts plus interest), depending on the manufacturing volume that is performed outside the State of Israel, and, possibly, an increased royalty rate.

At February 28, 2010, the Company has not earned any revenues from the sale of products and no royalty payments have accrued.

For the six and three months periods ended February 28, 2010, the research and development expenses are presented net of OCS Grants, in the total of $292,557 and $144,697, respectively. In the six and three months periods ended February 28, 2010, no OCS grants were recognized by the Company.

Overview

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

Oramed was incorporated on April 12, 2002, in the State of Nevada under the name Iguana Ventures Ltd. Following the incorporation, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company was unsuccessful in implementing its business plan as a mineral exploration company. Accordingly, the Company decided to change the focus of its business by completing a share exchange with the shareholders of Integrated Security Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey private corporation (“ISTI”). On June 4, 2004, the Company changed its name to Integrated Security Technologies by filing a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State. Effective June 14, 2004 the Company effected a 3.3:1 forward stock split, increasing the amount of its authorized capital to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with the par value of $.001 per share. However, due to disappointing results of ISTI, on May 31, 2005, effective as of May 27, 2004 the Company terminated the share exchange agreement with the shareholders of ISTI.

On March 8, 2006, we executed an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd. (“Hadasit”) to acquire provisional patent application No. 60/718716 and related intellectual property and agreed to retain Hadasit to provide consulting and clinical trial services. The provisional patent application No. 60/718716 relates to a method of preparing insulin so that it may be taken orally to be used in the treatment of individuals with diabetes. On April 10, 2006, the Company changed its name from Integrated Security Technologies, Inc. to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. On August 31, 2006, based on provisional patent application No. 60/718716, the Company filed a patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty at the Israel Patent Office for “Methods and Compositions for Oral Administration of Proteins.”

Plan of Operation

Short Term Business Strategy

We plan to continue to conduct clinical trials to show the effectiveness of our technology. We intend to conduct studies and other tests necessary to file an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Additional clinical trials are planned in other countries such as Israel and India in order to substantiate our results as well as for purposes of future filings for drug approval in these countries. We also plan to conduct further research and development by deploying our proprietary drug delivery technology for the delivery of other polypeptides in addition to insulin, and to develop other innovative pharmaceutical products, flu vaccines, and use of rectal application for delivery of other polypeptides.

Long Term Business Strategy

If our oral insulin capsule or other drug delivery solutions show significant promise in clinical trials, we plan to ultimately seek a strategic commercial partner, or partners, with extensive experience in the development, commercialization, and marketing of insulin applications and/or other orally digestible drugs. We anticipate such partner or partners would be responsible for, or substantially support, late stage clinical trials (Phase III) to ensure regulatory approvals and registrations in the appropriate markets in a timely manner. We further anticipate that such partner, or partners, would also be responsible for sales and marketing of our oral insulin capsule in these markets. Such planned strategic partnership, or partnerships, may provide a marketing and sales infrastructure for our products as well as financial and operational support for global clinical trials, post marketing studies, label expansions and other regulatory requirements concerning future clinical development in the United States and elsewhere. Any future strategic partner, or partners, may also provide capital and expertise that would enable the partnership to develop new oral dosage form for other polypeptides. We have not yet engaged in any meaningful discussions with potential partners and no assurance can be given that any third party would be interested in partnering with us. Under certain circumstances, we may determine to develop one or more of our oral dosage form on our own, either world-wide or in select territories.

Other Planned Strategic Activities

In addition to developing our own oral dosage form drug portfolio, we are, on an on-going basis, considering in-licensing and other means of obtaining additional technologies to complement and/or expand our current product portfolio. Our goal is to create a well-balanced product portfolio that will enhance and complement our existing drug portfolio.

Product Development

Orally Ingestible Insulin

During fiscal years 2007 through 2009 we conducted several clinical studies of our orally ingestible insulin. The studies were intended to assess both the safety/tolerability and absorption properties of our proprietary oral insulin. Based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacologic outcomes of these trials, we decided to continue the development of our oral insulin product.

In November 2007 we successfully completed animal studies in preparation for the Phase 1B clinical trial of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801). In January 2008 we commenced the non-FDA approved Phase 1B clinical trials with our oral insulin capsule, in healthy human volunteers with the intent of dose optimization. In March 2008, we successfully completed our Phase 1B clinical trials.

In April 2008 we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 2A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) in type 2 diabetic volunteers at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. In August 2008 we successfully completed this trial.

In July 2008 we were granted approval by the Institutional Review Board Committee of Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem to conduct a non-FDA approved Phase 2A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) on type 1 diabetic volunteers. On September 24, 2008, we commenced this trial and in July 2009 we successfully completed this trial.

On April 21, 2009, we entered into a consulting service agreement with ADRES Advanced Regulatory Services Ltd. (“ADRES”), pursuant to which ADRES will provide services for the purpose of filing an IND application with the FDA for a Phase 2 study according to the FDA requirements. The FDA approval process and, if approved, registration for commercial use as an oral drug can take several years.

In May 2009 we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 2B study in South Africa to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) on type 2 diabetic volunteers. In March 2010 we completed this trial and we expect to report results from this study in the near future.

On February 10, 2010, we entered into agreements with Vetgenerics Research G. Ziv Ltd., a clinical research organization (CRO), to conduct a toxicology trial on our oral insulin capsules.

We are considering whether and when to conduct an additional non-FDA approved Phase 2B study in India.

Rectal Application of Insulin and Other Polypeptides

We filed two additional provisional patents for a suppository application to our technology portfolio. The first patent focuses on a rectal application for insulin. The second patent focuses on the usage of this rectal application to other polypeptides that at present are only available in injection.

On January 30, 2008, we entered into a master service agreement with OnQ Consulting; a clinical research organization located in Johannesburg, South Africa, to conduct non-FDA approved clinical trials for the rectal application of insulin. On February 4, 2009, we concluded a proof of concept study of the insulin suppositories.

In October 2008 we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 1A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our insulin suppository (ORMD 0802) on healthy volunteers, in South Africa.

As we believe that the potential commercial market for our oral insulin products are significantly greater than the potential commercial market for our rectal application products, we have determined to use our limited resources to research and develop our oral insulin capsules and tablets and have temporarily suspended our development of our recital application products.

GLP1 Analog

In September 2008 we launched pre-clinical trials of ORMD 0901, a GLP1-analog. The pre-clinical trials include animal studies which suggest that the GLP-1analog (exenatide -4) when combined with Oramed’s absorption promoters is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and retains its biological activity.

On September 9, 2009, we received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in Israel to commence human clinical trials of an oral GLP-1 Analog. The approval was granted after successful pre-clinical results were reported. The trials will be conducted on healthy volunteers at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem. We anticipate that the results of these trials will be released in the near future.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone - a type of gastrointestinal hormone that stimulates the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. The incretin concept was hypothesized when it was noted surprisingly that glucose ingested by mouth (orally) stimulated two to three times more insulin release than the same amount of glucose administered intravenously. In addition to stimulating insulin release, GLP-1 was found to suppress glucagon release (a hormone involved in regulation of glucose) from the pancreas, slow gastric emptying to reduce the rate of absorption of nutrients into the blood stream, and increase satiety. Other important beneficial attributes of GLP-1 are its effects of increasing the number of beta cells (cells that manufacture and release insulin) in the pancreas and, possibly, protection of the heart.

Raw Materials

Our oral insulin capsule is currently manufactured by Swiss Caps AG, under a Clinical Trail Manufacturing Agreement. The raw materials required for the manufacturing of the capsule are purchased from third parties, under separate agreements. We generally depend upon a limited number of suppliers for the raw materials. Although alternative sources of supply for these materials are generally available, we could incur significant costs and disruptions in changing suppliers. The termination of our relationships with our suppliers or the failure of these suppliers to meet our requirements for raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Licensing

We have recently engaged in preliminary discussions with potential partners outside of the United States regarding their management of clinical trials of our oral insulin capsules. Such agreements could involve us granting exclusive commercialization rights and profit interests in our products derived from certain geographic areas outside the United States in exchange for payment of the costs of running such clinical trials now. These discussions are in a very early stage, however, and may not result in our being able to enter into any such partnerships.

Results of Operations

Going concern assumption

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have net losses for the period from inception (April 12, 2002) through February 28, 2010 of $11,013,682, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities. Based upon our existing spending commitments, estimated at $5.8 million for the twelve months following March 1, 2010, and our cash availability, we do not have sufficient cash resources to meet our liquidity requirements through February 28, 2011. The ongoing global economic and credit crisis makes it more difficult for the Company to raise financing. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 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 shareholders.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.

Critical accounting policies

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. We believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate such estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Comparison of six month and three month periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009

The following table summarizes certain statements of operations data for the Company for the six month and three month periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009:

	Six months ended						Three months ended
Operating Data:	February 28, 2010			February 28, 2009			February 28, 2010		February 28, 2009

Research and development costs	$	486,782		$	1,113,146		$	169,237	$	274,970
General and administrative expenses		522,619			735,373			222,663		371,508
Financial (income) expense, net		(4,397	)		(2,221	)		311		11,774
Net loss for the period		1,005,004			1,846,298		$	392,211	$	658,252

Loss per common share – basic and diluted	$	0.02		$	0.03		$	0.01	$	0.01
Weighted average common shares outstanding		57,289,266			56,416,080			57,442,484		56,469,027

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. 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, certain clinical trial costs are expensed immediately, while others are expensed over time based on the expected total number of patients in the trial, the rate at which patients enter the trial, and the period over which clinical investigators or contract research organizations are expected to provide services.

Clinical activities which relate principally to clinical sites and other administrative functions to manage the Company’s clinical trials are performed primarily by contract research organizations (“CROs”). CROs typically perform most of the start-up activities for the Company’s trials, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-study visits, training, and program management.

During the six months ended February 28, 2010 research and development expenses totaled $486,782, compared to $1,113,146 for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in materials purchased. Our research and development expenses were lower due to more grants received from the Office of Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor (the "OCS"). The research and development costs include stock based compensation costs, which during the six months ended February 28, 2010 totaled $42,508 as compared to $90,941 during the six months ended February 28, 2009.

The decrease in research and development expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2010 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2009 is attributable to the same reasons mentioned above.

Government Grants

In the six and three months ended February 28, 2010, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $292,557 and $144,967, respectively. As of February 28, 2010, 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, 2010, general and administrative expenses totaled $522,619 compared to $735,373 for the six months ended February 28, 2009. Costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the six months ended February 28, 2010 reflect a decrease of payroll and related expenses and professional fee expenses as well as a decrease in general expenses such as office and maintenance expenses. During the six months ended February 28, 2010, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $113,195 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $177,097 during the six months ended February 28, 2009.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2010 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2009 is attributable to the same reasons mentioned above.

Financial income/expense, net

During the six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, we generated interest income on available cash and cash equivalents which was offset by bank charges and imputed interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Through February 28, 2010, we incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $11,013,682. We have financed our operations through the private placements of equity and debt financing. Since inception through February 28, 2010, we have financed our operations through the private placements of equity and debt financings, raising a total of $8,308,785, net of transaction costs. We will seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources. As of February 28, 2010, we had $724,706 of available cash as well as $1,400,000 in short term interest bearing investments. We anticipate that we will require approximately $5.8 million to finance our activities during the twelve months following March 1, 2010.

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 shareholders as well as receive additional funding from the OCS.

Our financing activities during the six months ended February 28, 2010 included the following:

On September 11, 2009, we issued 569,887 shares of common stock valued at $203,699 to a third party, for services rendered in the prior year.

On December 29, 2009, we issued 328,110 shares of common stock valued at $167,310 to a third party, for services rendered.

On December 29, 2009, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $30,000 to a third party, for services rendered and to be rendered during the six month period commencing December 15, 2009.

Employee's and Consultant’s Stock Options and Warrants

Employee and consultant stock options grant and warrant issuance activities for the six months ended February 28, 2010 include the following:

On November 23, 2009 we granted options under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.76 to a consultant.

On November 23, 2009 we granted options under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase up to 36,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.46 to an employee of our subsidiary.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

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, 2010 are as follows:

Operating:	Amount

Research and development costs, net of OCS funds	$	4,760,000
General and administrative expenses		1,010,000
Financial income, net		(10,000	)
Taxes on income		-
Total	$	5,760,000

As previously indicated, we are planning to conduct further clinical studies as well as file an IND application with the FDA for our orally ingested insulin. Our ability to proceed with these activities is dependent on several major factors including the ability to attract sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and are not required to provide information under this item.

ITEM 4T - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)	Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2010. Based on such review, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have determined that in light of their conclusion with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over our financial reporting as of such date, the weaknesses in controls and procedures described in our Form 10-K filed on November 25, 2009 continued this quarter and 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 principal executive and principal 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 Commission’s rules and forms.

(b)	Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and asset dispositions;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010 based on the framework for Internal Control-Integrated Framework set forth by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Due to the inherent limitations of our company, derived from our small size and the limited number of employees, 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 internal control over financial reporting and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Specifically, our CFO 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. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that there is no reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of February 28, 2010.

As previously reported in our Form 10-K filed on November 25, 2009, during the six months ended February 28, 2010, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has started an extensive process of documenting all major procedures related to financial reporting, in order to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting in order to reasonably ensure the reliability of our financial statements.

We have developed a comprehensive program designed to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting in order to improve such reporting requirements.

This management report on internal control over financial reporting shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.

(c)	Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation thereof that occurred during the six months ended February 28, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
