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 Group 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 any 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 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
 
 
1)
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASU 2014-10”). This update removes the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In addition, ASU 2014-10 eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early  application  of  each  of  the  amendments  is  permitted  for  any  annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-10 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014.
 
 
2)
In February 2013, the FASB issued 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.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with 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.
 
NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS:
 
 
a.
On September 11, 2011, the Subsidiary entered into an agreement with Hadasit, Dr. Miriam Kidron and Dr. Daniel Schurr (the “Agreement”) to retain consulting and clinical trial services. According to the Agreement, Hadasit will be entitled to a consideration of $200,000 to be paid by the Company in accordance with the actual progress of the studies, $95,000 of which were paid and recognized through May 31, 2014. See also note 1a(1).
 
 
b.
On July 5, 2010, the Subsidiary of the Company entered into a Manufacturing Supply Agreement (“MSA”) with Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBH (“Sanofi”). According to the MSA, Sanofi will supply the Subsidiary with specified quantities of recombinant human insulin to be used for clinical trials in the United States.
 
 
c.
On February 15, 2011, the Subsidiary entered into a consulting agreement with a third party (the “Consultant”) for a period of five years, pursuant to which the Consultant will provide consultation on scientific and clinical matters. The Consultant is entitled to a fixed monthly fee of $8,000, royalties of 8% of the net royalties actually received by the Subsidiary in respect of the patent that was sold to Entera Bio Ltd ("Entera") on March 31, 2011 and an option to purchase up to 20,834 shares of the Company at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The option vests in five annual installments commencing February 16, 2012 and expires on February 16, 2021. The initial fair value of the option on the date of grant was $62,185, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and was based on the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 78.65%; risk-free interest rates of 3.62%; and the remaining expected term of 10 years. The fair value of the option as of May 31, 2014 was $100,441, using the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 6.72 years; expected volatility of 82.19%; and risk-free interest rate of 2.24%. The fair value of the unvested options is remeasured at each balance sheet reporting date and is recognized over the related service period using the straight-line method.

NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS (continued):
 
 
d.
On March 18, 2012, the Subsidiary entered into a lease agreement for its facilities in Israel. The lease agreement was for a period of 57 months commencing January 1, 2012.
 
On April 28, 2013, the Subsidiary entered into a new lease agreement for its office facilities in Israel, which replaced the lease agreement from 2012. The new lease agreement is for a period of 36 months commencing November 4, 2013. The annual lease payment will be NIS 89,052 from 2014 through 2016, and will be linked to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index (“CPI”) (as of May 31, 2014, the future annual lease payments under the new agreement will be $25,626, based on the exchange rate as of May 31, 2014).

The lease expenses for the nine and three month periods ended May 31, 2014 were approximately $16,081 and $6,478, respectively.

As security for its obligation under this lease agreement the Company provided a bank guarantee in an amount equal to three monthly lease payments.
 
 
e.
On April 15, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a third party advisor for a period of twelve months, pursuant to which such advisor will provide investor relations services and will be entitled to receive a monthly cash fee and 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued in three equal installments, on each of May 1, 2013, August 1, 2013 and November 15, 2013.

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 May 31, 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.
 
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 May 31, 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 $61,000.
 
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.

Product Candidates
 
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 non-U.S. based Phase 1a and 1b trials and IND-enabling studies in the third quarter of calendar year 2014.
 
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 believed that we should move forward with the Phase 2b clinical trial on approximately 180 type 2 diabetic patients, which we are preparing to initiate in the fourth 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 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. Results are anticipated in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2014.

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 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, as well as salaries and related expenses of research and development staff.
 
During the nine months ended May 31, 2014, research and development expenses totaled $2,513,142, compared to $1,977,258 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013. The increase is attributed to expenses related to the increase in clinical trials and preparation for the Phase 2b clinical trial, as well as 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 is attributed to awards granted to officers and directors in April 2014. During the nine months ended May 31, 2014, stock based compensation costs totaled $665,321, as compared to $301,804 during the nine months ended May 31, 2013.
 
During the three months ended May 31, 2014, research and development expenses totaled $1,089,298, compared to $835,636 for the three months ended May 31, 2013.  The increase in research and development expenses during the three months ended May 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2013, is mainly attributable to the increase in stock based compensation costs, which is attributed to awards granted to officers and directors during the three months ended May 31, 2014.
 
Government grants
 
In May 2013, Oramed Ltd., or the Subsidiary, was granted a fourth grant amounting to a total 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 2014, the Subsidiary was also granted a fifth grant amounting to a total 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 nine months ended May 31, 2014, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $333,522, and in the nine months ended May 31, 2013, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $101,639.  As of May 31, 2014, we had not yet realized any revenues from the said project and did not incur any royalty liability 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 nine months ended May 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,743,902 compared to $1,349,081 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013. The increase in costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the nine months ended May 31, 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 professional expenses. During the nine months ended May 31, 2014, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $374,841 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $325,707 during the nine months ended May 31, 2013.
 
For the three months ended May 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses totaled $813,923 compared to $499,034 for the three months ended May 31, 2013. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended May 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2013, is attributable to the increase in stock based compensation costs, which is attributed to awards granted to officers and directors during the three months ended May 31, 2014.
 
Financial (income) expense, net
 
Net financial expense decreased from net expense of $114,629 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 to net income of $189,980 for the May 31, 2014 period. 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 November 29, 2012, 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 May 31, 2014, net financial income totaled $75,319, compared to $78,329 for the three months ended May 31, 2013.  The decrease in net financial income during the three months ended May 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2013, is attributable to decrease in exchange rate differences expenses.
 
Other comprehensive income
 
Subsequent increase in the fair value of available for sale securities previously written down as impaired for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 of $34,156 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 nine months ended May 31, 2014 of $80,017, resulted from the sale of 2,625,989 of our D.N.A ordinary shares in October and November 2013 and January and March 2014. Unrealized gains on available for sale securities for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 of $210,432, resulted from the increase in fair value of our D.N.A ordinary shares.
 
Liquidity and capital resources
 
From inception through May 31, 2014, we have incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $26,190,653. 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 $1,860,763 from exercise of warrants and options. We will seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources in the future as needed. As of May 31, 2014, we had $2,474,839 of available cash, $12,005,172 of short term bank deposits, $6,508,269 of long term bank deposits and $1,063,409 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 $11 million to finance our activities during the 12 months following May 31, 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. Based on our current cash resources and commitments, including cash received in public offerings in the period ended May 31, 2014, we believe we will be able to maintain our current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months and beyond.
 
During the nine month period ended May 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents increased to $2,474,839 from the $2,272,228 reported as of August 31, 2013, which is due to the reasons described below.
 
Operating activities used cash of $3,266,135 in the nine month period ended May 31, 2014, as compared to $3,115,165 used in the nine months May 31, 2013. Cash used for operating activities in the nine months ended May 31, 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 nine months May 31, 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 nine month period ended May 31, 2014, we received $124,784 in OCS grants towards our research and development expenses, while we recognized the amount of $333,522 during such period and $58,237 was recognized in the year ended August 31, 2013. Most of the amounts that were recognized but not received during the nine month period ended May 31, 2014, were received from the OCS in June 2014.  The amounts that were recognized but not received during the nine month period ended May 31, 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 $13,179,411 in the nine month period ended May 31, 2014, as compared to $1,643,828 that was used in the nine month period ended May 31, 2013. Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended May 31, 2014 consisted primarily of the acquisition of short-term and long term bank deposits, while cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended May 31, 2013 consisted primarily of the acquisition of short-term bank deposits.
 
Financing activities provided cash of $16,638,273 in the nine month period ended May 31, 2014, as compared to $1,450,936 of cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended May 31, 2013, which consisted of proceeds from our issuance of common stock and proceeds from exercise of warrants and options in the nine months ended May 31, 2014 and of proceeds from our issuance of common stock and warrants in the nine months ended May 31, 2013.
 
Off-balance sheet arrangements
 
As of May 31, 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 June 1, 2014 are as follows:

In December 2012 and April 2013, we filed IND applications with the FDA for our orally ingested insulin and we are conducting, or planning to conduct, further clinical studies with our oral exenatide capsule and the combination therapy, respectively, and others.  Our ability to complete these expected activities is dependent on several major factors including the ability to attract sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us and receiving additional grants from the OCS.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
