BUSINESS. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Research and Development We are a pharmaceutical company currently engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an oralinsulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules or pills for delivery of other polypeptides. Oral insulin: We are seeking to revolutionize the treatment of diabetes through our proprietary flagship product, an orally ingestible insulin capsule(ORMD-0801). Having completed Phase IIa clinical trials in patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, we initiated a Phase IIb clinical trial onapproximately 180 type 2 diabetic patients that is being conducted in approximately 30 sites in the United States, beginning in June 2015. This double-blind, randomized, 28-day study clinical trial is conducted under an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, with the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. The clinical trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of ORMD-0801, will investigate ORMD-0801 over a longer treatmentperiod and will have statistical power to give us greater insight into the drug’s efficacy. We anticipate the last patient will complete this trial during the firstquarter of calendar year 2016. Our technology allows insulin to travel from the gastrointestinal tract via the portal vein to the bloodstream, revolutionizingthe manner in which insulin is delivered. It enables its passage in a more physiological manner than current delivery methods of insulin. Our technology is aplatform that has the potential to deliver medications and vaccines orally that today can only be delivered via injection. Oral Glucagon-like peptide-1: Glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, is an incretin hormone, which is a type of gastrointestinal hormone thatstimulates the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. The incretin concept was hypothesized when it was noted that glucose ingested by mouth (oral)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 (hormone involved in regulation of glucose) from the pancreas, slow gastric emptying to reduce the rate ofabsorption of nutrients into the blood stream, and increase satiety. Other important beneficial attributes of GLP-1 are its effects of increasing the number ofbeta cells (cells that manufacture and release insulin) in the pancreas and, possibly, protection of the heart. In addition to our flagship product, the insulincapsule, we are using our technology for an orally ingestible GLP-1 capsule (ORMD-0901). In August 2015, we began a non-FDA approved clinical trial forour oral exenatide capsule on type 2 diabetic patients, and we anticipate it will be completed during the first quarter of calendar year 2016. Diabetes: Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that causes sugar to be absorbedinto cells, where the sugar is converted into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes is attributed both to genetics (type 1 diabetes) and, most often,to environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise (type 2 diabetes). According to the International Diabetes Federation, or IDF, an estimated 387million adults worldwide suffered from diabetes in 2014 and the IDF projects this number will increase to 612 million by 2035. Also, according to the IDF, in2014, an estimated 4.9 million people died from diabetes. According to the American Diabetes Association, or ADA, in the United States there wereapproximately 29.1 million people with diabetes, or 9.3% of the United States population in 2012. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure,heart attack, stroke and amputation. Intellectual property: We own a portfolio of patents and patent applications covering our technologies and we are aggressively protecting thesetechnology developments on a worldwide basis. Management: We are led by a highly-experienced management team knowledgeable in the treatment of diabetes. Our Chief Medical andTechnology Officer, Miriam Kidron, PhD, is a world-recognized pharmacologist and a biochemist and the innovator primarily responsible for our oral insulintechnology development and know-how. Scientific Advisory Board: Our management team has access to our internationally recognized Scientific Advisory Board whose members arethought-leaders in their respective areas. The Scientific Advisory Board is comprised of Dr. Nir Barzilai, Professor Ele Ferrannini, Professor Avram Hershko,Dr. Derek LeRoith, Dr. John Amatruda and Dr. Michael Berelowitz acting as Chairman. 2 Strategy Short Term Business Strategy We plan to conduct further research and development on the technology covered by the patent application “Methods and Composition for OralAdministration of Proteins,” which we acquired from Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development Ltd., or Hadasit, in 2006 and which is pending invarious foreign jurisdictions, as well as the other patents we have filed in various foreign jurisdictions since then, as discussed below under “—Patents andLicenses” and below under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Through our research and development efforts, we are seeking to develop an oral dosage form that willwithstand the harsh chemical environment of the stomach and intestines and will be effective in delivering active insulin or other proteins, such as exenatide,for the treatment of diabetes. The enzymes and vehicles that are added to the proteins in the formulation process must not modify the proteins chemically orbiologically, and the dosage form must be safe to ingest. We plan to continue to conduct clinical trials to show the effectiveness of our technology. Weoriginally filed an IND with the FDA in December 2012 for clearance to begin a Phase II 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 studiedin humans at bedtime, in February 2013 the FDA noted concerns about mitigating potential risks of severe hypoglycemia and requested that we perform asub-study in a controlled in-patient setting for a one-week period prior to beginning the larger multi-centered Phase II trial. As a result, we withdrew theoriginal IND and, in April 2013, we submitted a new IND for the Phase IIa sub-study. Following the FDA’s clearance to proceed in May 2013, we began thePhase IIa sub-study in July 2013. As we announced in January 2014, the Phase IIa sub-study met all primary and secondary endpoints. Specifically, the PhaseIIa study evaluated the pharmacodynamic effects of ORMD-0801 on mean nighttime glucose (determined using a continuous glucose monitor). The resultsshowed that ORMD-0801 exhibited a sound safety profile, led to reduced mean daytime and nighttime glucose readings and lowered fasting blood glucoseconcentrations, when compared to placebo. In addition, no serious adverse events occurred during this study, and the only adverse events that occurred werenot drug related. In light of these results, in June 2015, we initiated the Phase IIb clinical trial on approximately 180 type 2 diabetic patients. This double-blind, randomized, 28-day study clinical trial will be designed to assess the safety and efficacy of ORMD-0801 and is being conducted in approximately 30sites in the United States. In February 2014, we submitted a protocol to the FDA to initiate a Phase IIa trial of our oral insulin capsule for type 1 diabetes volunteers. Theprotocol was submitted under our existing IND to include both type 1 and type 2 diabetes indications. Beginning in March 2014, the double-blind,randomized, placebo controlled, seven-day study design was carried out at an inpatient setting on 25 type 1 diabetic patients. As we announced in October2014, the results showed that ORMD-0801 oral insulin given before meals appeared to be safe and well-tolerated for the dosing regimen in this study.Although the study was not powered to show statistical significance, there were internally consistent trends observed. Consistent with the timing ofadministration, the data showed a decrease in rapid acting insulin, a decrease in post-prandial glucose, a decrease in daytime glucose by continual glucosemonitoring and an increase in post-prandial hypoglycemia in the active group. We are also conducting a glucose clamp study of our oral insulin capsule on type 2 diabetic volunteers that will be performed at The University ofTexas Health Science Center at San Antonio and University Health System’s Texas Diabetes Institute. The glucose clamp is a method for quantifying insulinabsorption in order to measure a patient’s insulin sensitivity and how well a patient metabolizes glucose. As previously announced, the first patient has beenenrolled and we anticipate completing the study in the second quarter of calendar year 2016. Clinical trials are planned in order to substantiate our results as well as for purposes of making future filings for drug approval. We also plan toconduct further research and development by deploying our proprietary drug delivery technology for the delivery of other polypeptides in addition toinsulin, and to develop other innovative pharmaceutical products. 3 The table below gives an overview of our product pipeline: 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 strategiccommercial partner, or partners, with extensive experience in the development, commercialization, and marketing of insulin applications and/or other orallydigestible drugs. We anticipate such partner or partners would be responsible for, or substantially support, late stage clinical trials (Phase III) to increase thelikelihood of obtaining regulatory approvals and registrations in the appropriate markets in a timely manner. We further anticipate that such partner, orpartners, 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. While ourstrategy is to partner with an appropriate party, no assurance can be given that any third party would be interested in partnering with us. Under certaincircumstances, 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 ofobtaining additional technologies to complement and/or expand our current product portfolio. Our goal is to create a well-balanced product portfolio thatwill enhance and complement our existing drug portfolio. Product Development Research and Development Summary We devote the majority of our efforts to research and development, including clinical studies for our lead clinical product candidates, as describedbelow. Orally Ingestible Insulin During fiscal 2007, we conducted several clinical studies of our orally ingestible insulin that were intended to assess both the safety/tolerability andabsorption properties of our proprietary oral insulin. Based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacologic outcomes of these trials, we decided to continue thedevelopment of our oral insulin product. During fiscal 2008, we successfully completed animal studies and non-FDA approved clinical trials using our oral insulin capsule, including a PhaseIb clinical trial in healthy human volunteers with the intent of dose optimization; a Phase IIa study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulincapsule in type 2 diabetic volunteers at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem; and a Phase IIa study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulincapsule on type 1 diabetic volunteers. 4 Our successful non-FDA clinical trials continued in fiscal 2009, with a Phase IIb study in South Africa to evaluate the safety, tolerability andefficacy of our oral insulin capsule on type 2 diabetic volunteers. In September 2010, we reported the successful results of an exploratory clinical trial testing the effectiveness of our oral insulin capsule in type 1diabetes patients suffering from uncontrolled diabetes. Unstable or labile diabetes is characterized by recurrent, unpredictable and dramatic blood glucoseswings often linked with irregular hyperglycemia and sometimes serious hypoglycemia affecting type 1 diabetes patients. This completed exploratory studywas a proof of concept study for defining a novel indication for ORMD-0801. We believe the encouraging results justify further clinical developmentof ORMD-0801 capsule application toward management of uncontrolled diabetes. In March 2011, we reported that we successfully completed a comprehensive toxicity study for our oral insulin capsule. The study was completedunder conditions prescribed by the FDA Good Laboratory Practices regulations. As described above, we began FDA-approved clinical trials of ORMD-0801 in July 2013, with the Phase IIa sub-study, which evaluated thepharmacodynamic effects of ORMD-0801 on mean nighttime glucose (determined using a continuous glucose monitor) in volunteers with type 2 diabetes.As we announced in January 2014, the results showed that ORMD-0801 exhibited a sound safety profile, led to reduced mean daytime and nighttime glucosereadings and lowered fasting blood glucose concentrations, when compared to placebo. In light of these results, in June 2016 we initiated the Phase IIbclinical trial on approximately 180 type 2 diabetic patients. This double-blind, randomized, 28-day study will be designed to assess the safety and efficacy ofORMD-0801 and is being a conducted in approximately 30 sites in the United States. In March 2014, we began an FDA-approved Phase IIa trial of ORMD-0801 in volunteers with type 1 diabetes. As we announced in October 2014, theresults showed that ORMD-0801 oral insulin given before meals appeared to be safe and well-tolerated for the dosing regimen in this study. Although thestudy was not powered to show statistical significance, there were internally consistent trends observed. Consistent with the timing of administration, the datashowed a decrease in rapid acting insulin, a decrease in post-prandial glucose, a decrease in daytime glucose by continual glucose monitoring and anincrease in post-prandial hypoglycemia in the active group. In April 2015, we began a glucose clamp study of our oral insulin capsule on type 2 diabetic volunteers that will be performed at The University ofTexas Health Science Center at San Antonio and University Health System’s Texas Diabetes Institute. The glucose clamp is a method for quantifying insulinabsorption in order to measure a patient’s insulin sensitivity and how well a patient metabolizes glucose. We anticipate completing the study in the secondquarter of calendar year 2016. We utilize Clinical Research Organizations, or CROs, to conduct our clinical studies. We currently have an agreement with Integrium LLC to act asCRO for the Phase IIb clinical trial of ORMD-0801 in volunteers having type 2 diabetes, described above. GLP-1 Analog During fiscal 2009 we completed pre-clinical trials of ORMD-0901, an analog for GLP-1, which included animal studies that suggested that theGLP-1 analog (exenatide-4), when combined with Oramed’s absorption promoters, is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and retains its biologicalactivity. In December 2009, we completed non-FDA approved clinical trials of an oral GLP-1 analog in healthy, male volunteers conducted at HadassahUniversity Medical Center in Jerusalem. This study tested the safety and efficacy of ORMD-0901, an encapsulated oral GLP-1 analog formulation. Theresults of the study indicated that ORMD-0901 was well tolerated by all subjects and demonstrated physiological activity, as extrapolated from ensuingsubject insulin levels when compared to those observed after treatment with placebo. In January 2013, we began a clinical trial for our oral exenatide capsule on healthy volunteers and type 2 diabetic patients. Based on this study, wedecided to make slight adjustments in the manufacturing of these capsules and have begun toxicology studies on the new capsules. In parallel to thetoxicology studies we intend on initiating a follow-on clinical trial in the first quarter of calendar year 2015. 5 In September 2013, we submitted a pre-IND package to the FDA for ORMD-0901, our oral exenatide capsule, for a Phase II clinical trial on healthyvolunteers and type 2 diabetic patients. In August 2015, we began a non-U.S. based Phase Ib study. In August 2015, we began a non-FDA approved clinical trial for our oral exenatide capsule on type 2 diabetic patients, and we anticipate it will becompleted during the first quarter of calendar year 2016. Combination Therapy In June 2012, we presented an abstract, which reported on the impact of our oral insulin capsule ORMD-0801 delivered in combination with our oralexenatide capsule ORMD-0901. The work that was presented assessed the safety and effectiveness of a combination of oral insulin and oral exenatidetreatments delivered to pigs prior to food intake. The drug combination resulted in significantly improved blood glucose regulation when compared toadministration of each drug separately. In February 2013, we commenced a first human clinical trial on type 2 diabetic volunteers with our oral insulin capsule delivered in combinationwith our oral exenatide capsule. In the near term, we are focusing our efforts on the development of the Company’s flagship products, oral insulin and oralexenatide. Once these two products have progressed further in clinical trials, we intend on running further studies with the oral combination therapy. Feasibility study In August 2015, we entered into an agreement with a large international pharmaceutical company, or the Pharma Company, pursuant to which wewill conduct a feasibility study, using one of the Pharma Company's propriety injectable compounds. The study will use our proprietary technology in orderto deliver the compound orally. The study will provide data required for decision making on whether to enter into a license agreement between the parties. Raw Materials Our oral insulin capsule is currently manufactured by Swiss Caps AG. One of our oral capsule ingredients is being developed and produced by an Indian company. In July 2010, Oramed Ltd. entered into the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, or MSA, with Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBH, or Sanofi-Aventis. According to the MSA, Sanofi-Aventis will supply Oramed Ltd. with specified quantities of recombinant human insulin to be used for clinical trialsin the United States. We purchase, pursuant to separate agreements with third parties, the raw materials required for the manufacturing of our oral capsule. We generallydepend upon a limited number of suppliers for the raw materials. Although alternative sources of supply for these materials are generally available, we couldincur significant costs and disruptions if we would need to change suppliers. The termination of our relationships with our suppliers or the failure of thesesuppliers to meet our requirements for raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects,financial condition and results of operations. Patents and Licenses We maintain a proactive intellectual property strategy which includes patent filings in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States and othercommercially significant markets. We hold 29 patent applications currently pending, with respect to various compositions, methods of production and oraladministration of proteins and exenatide. Expiration dates for pending patents, if granted, will fall between 2026 and 2034. We hold 26 patents, one of which was issued in fiscal 2015, and one of which was allowed in the United States, including patents issued by theSwiss, German, French, U.K., Italian, Netherland, Spanish, Australian, Israeli, Japanese, Russian, Canadian and Hong Kong Patent Offices that cover a part ofour technology which allows for the oral delivery of proteins and patents issued by the Australian and Israeli Patent Offices that cover part of our technologyfor the oral delivery of exenatide. 6 Consistent with our strategy to seek protection in key markets worldwide, we have been and will continue to pursue the patent applications andcorresponding foreign counterparts of such applications. We believe that our success will depend on our ability to obtain patent protection for ourintellectual property. Our patent strategy is as follows: Aggressively protect all current and future technological developments to assure strong and broad protection by filing patents and/or continuationsin part as appropriate, Protect technological developments at various levels, in a complementary manner, including the base technology, as well as specific applications ofthe technology, and Establish comprehensive coverage in the United States and in all relevant foreign markets in anticipation of future commercialization opportunities. We also rely on trade secrets and unpatentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. Our policy is to require ouremployees, consultants, contractors, manufacturers, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers, our board of directors, or our Board, technicalreview board and other advisors to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. Theseagreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us isto be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific limited circumstances. We also require signed confidentiality or material transferagreements from any company that is to receive our confidential information. In the case of employees, consultants and contractors, the agreements providethat all inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our Company. There can beno assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that wewould have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independentlydeveloped by competitors. Out-Licensed Technology In June 2010, Oramed Ltd. entered into a joint venture agreement with D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd., or D.N.A, for the establishment of EnteraBio LTD, or Entera. Under the terms of a license agreement that was entered into between Oramed and Entera in August 2010, we out-licensed technology to Entera, onan exclusive basis, for the development of oral delivery drugs for certain indications to be agreed upon between the parties. The out-licensed technologydiffers from our main delivery technology that is used for oral insulin and GLP-1 analog and is subject to different patent applications. Entera’s initialdevelopment effort is for an oral formulation for the treatment of osteoporosis. The license was royalty-free unless our ownership interest in Entera decreasedto 30% or less of its outstanding share capital, in which case royalties would have been payable with respect to revenues derived from certain indications.Under certain circumstances, Entera may have received ownership of the licensed technology, in which case we would have received a license back on thesame terms. D.N.A initially invested $600,000 in Entera, and Entera was initially owned in equal parts by Oramed and D.N.A. Entera’s Chief Executive Officer,Dr. Phillip Schwartz, was granted options to purchase ordinary shares of Entera, reflecting 9.9% of Entera’s share capital, upon full exercise. In March 2011, we consummated a transaction with D.N.A, whereby we sold to D.N.A 47% of Entera’s outstanding share capital on an undilutedbasis. As consideration for the Entera shares, we received a promissory note issued by D.N.A in the principal amount of $450,000, which was paid inNovember 2011, and 8,404,667 ordinary shares of D.N.A, having an aggregate market value of approximately $581,977 as of March 31, 2011. Of theordinary shares of D.N.A we received, we sold 5,250,000 shares during February and March 2013 and 2,625,989 shares during October 2013 to March 2014,for which we received aggregate sale proceeds of $307,955, and currently hold only 528,678 shares. The promissory note was secured by a personalguarantee of the D.N.A majority shareholders and its term was extended in August 2011. D.N.A paid off the promissory note in November 2011. The marketprice for D.N.A’s ordinary shares is subject to market fluctuations and may, at times, have a price below the value on the date we acquired such shares. D.N.Aconsummated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-two, effective October 4, 2015. The closing price for D.N.A’s ordinary shares was $0.066 per share onNovember 24, 2015. In addition, the ordinary shares of D.N.A have historically experienced low trading volume; as a result there is no guarantee that we willbe able to resell the ordinary shares of D.N.A at the prevailing market prices. In addition, D.N.A invested $250,000 in our private placement investmentround, which closed in March 2011, for which it received 65,105 shares of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 22,787 shares of ourcommon stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. 7 As part of the transaction with D.N.A, we entered into a patent transfer agreement (to replace the original license agreement upon closing) pursuantto which Oramed assigned to Entera all of its right, title and interest in and to the patent application that it had licensed to Entera in August 2010. Under thisagreement, Oramed Ltd. is entitled to receive from Entera royalties of 3% of Entera’s net revenues (as defined in the agreement) and a license back of thatpatent application for use in respect of diabetes and influenza. In March 2011, Oramed Ltd., Entera and D.N.A terminated the joint venture agreement entered into in June 2010 in connection with the formation ofEntera. In April 2014, Entera announced that it had obtained orphan status from the FDA for its oral treatment for hypoparathyroidism. Orphan drugdesignation qualifies a company for several benefits under the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, as amended. These benefits include a 7-year period of orphan drugexclusivity upon product approval, a tax credit for certain clinical testing expenses for the orphan drug, written guidance on the non-clinical and clinicalstudies needed to obtain marketing approval of an orphan drug, and orphan drug grants. In July 2015, Entera announced it had completed a phase 2a study to assess the safety and efficacy of its oral treatment for hypoparathyroidism andthat the goals of the study were achieved. On July 3, 2015, we entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent, or the LoI, which was amended on September 3, 2015 and further amended onOctober 22, 2015, with HLST. According to the LoI, as amended, we will enter into a Stock Purchase Agreement with HLST pursuant to which HLST willagree to buy and we will agree to sell an aggregate of 1,155,367 shares of our common stock at a price per share of approximately $10.39 ($12,000,000 intotal), and, in addition, we will grant a commercialization license in the territory of Peoples Republic of China, or the Territory, related to oral insulin, for anaggregate of approximately $37,500,000, of which $11,000,000 would be paid up front, and $26,500,000 would be payable upon achievement of certainmilestones and conditions, and royalties of 10% on net sales of the related commercialized products to be sold by HLST in the Territory. Pursuant to the LoI, HLST paid us a non-refundable amount of $500,000 as a no-shop fee, and we will commit to negotiate exclusively with HLSTregarding an out-licensing and commercialization transaction in the Territory. The no-shop period, as extended on September 3, 2015 and October 22, 2015,expires on December 22, 2015. The parties intend to finalize the definitive agreements by the end of the no-shop period. Government Regulation The Drug Development Process Regulatory requirements for the approval of new drugs vary from one country to another. In order to obtain approval to market our drug portfolio, weneed to go through a different regulatory process in each country in which we apply for such approval. In some cases information gathered during theapproval process in one country can be used as supporting information for the approval process in another country. As a strategic decision, we decided to firstexplore the FDA regulatory pathway. The following is a summary of the FDA’s requirements. The FDA requires that pharmaceutical and certain other therapeutic products undergo significant clinical experimentation and clinical testing priorto their marketing or introduction to the general public. Clinical testing, known as clinical trials or clinical studies, is either conducted internally by lifescience, pharmaceutical, or biotechnology companies or is conducted on behalf of these companies by contract research organizations, or CROs. The process of conducting clinical studies is highly regulated by the FDA, as well as by other governmental and professional bodies. Below wedescribe the principal framework in which clinical studies are conducted, as well as describe a number of the parties involved in these studies. 8 Protocols. Before commencing human clinical studies, the sponsor of a new drug or therapeutic product must submit an IND application to the FDA.The application contains, among other documents, what is known in the industry as a protocol. A protocol is the blueprint for each drug study. The protocolsets forth, among other things, the following: ●Who must be recruited as qualified participants, ●How often to administer the drug or product, ●What tests to perform on the participants, and ●What dosage of the drug or amount of the product to give to the participants. Institutional Review Board. An institutional review board is an independent committee of professionals and lay persons which reviews clinicalresearch studies involving human beings and is required to adhere to guidelines issued by the FDA. The institutional review board does not report to theFDA, but its records are audited by the FDA. Its members are not appointed by the FDA. All clinical studies must be approved by an institutional reviewboard. The institutional review board’s role is to protect the rights of the participants in the clinical studies. It approves the protocols to be used, theadvertisements which the company or CRO conducting the study proposes to use to recruit participants, and the form of consent which the participants willbe required to sign prior to their participation in the clinical studies. Clinical Trials. Human clinical studies or testing of a potential product are generally done in three stages known as Phase I through Phase III testing.The names of the phases are derived from the regulations of the FDA. Generally, there are multiple studies conducted in each phase. Phase I. Phase I studies involve testing a drug or product on a limited number of healthy or patients participants, typically 24 to 100 people at atime. Phase I studies determine a product’s basic safety and how the product is absorbed by, and eliminated from, the body. This phase lasts an average of sixmonths to a year. Phase II. Phase II trials involve testing of no more than 300 participants at a time who may suffer from the targeted disease or condition. Phase IItesting typically lasts an average of one to two years. In Phase II, the drug is tested to determine its safety and effectiveness for treating a specific illness orcondition. Phase II testing also involves determining acceptable dosage levels of the drug. Phase II studies may be split into Phase IIa and Phase IIb sub-studies. Phase IIa studies may be conducted with patient volunteers and are exploratory (non-pivotal) studies, typically designed to evaluate clinical efficacyor biological activity. Phase IIb studies are conducted with patients defined to evaluate definite dose range and evaluate efficacy. If Phase II studies show thata new drug has an acceptable range of safety risks and probable effectiveness, a company will generally continue to review the substance in Phase III studies. Phase III. Phase III studies involve testing large numbers of participants, typically several hundred to several thousand persons. The purpose is toverify effectiveness and long-term safety on a large scale. These studies generally last two to three years. Phase III studies are conducted at multiple locationsor sites. Like the other phases, Phase III requires the site to keep detailed records of data collected and procedures performed. New Drug Approval. The results of the clinical trials are submitted to the FDA as part of a new drug application, or NDA. Following the completionof Phase III studies, assuming the sponsor of a potential product in the United States believes it has sufficient information to support the safety andeffectiveness of its product, the sponsor will generally submit an NDA to the FDA requesting that the product be approved for marketing. The application is acomprehensive, multi-volume filing that includes the results of all clinical studies, information about the drug’s composition, and the sponsor’s plans forproducing, packaging and labeling the product. The FDA’s review of an application can take a few months to many years, with the average review lasting 18months. Once approved, drugs and other products may be marketed in the United States, subject to any conditions imposed by the FDA. Phase 4. The FDA may require that the sponsor conduct additional clinical trials following new drug approval. The purpose of these trials, known asPhase 4 studies, is to monitor long-term risks and benefits, study different dosage levels or evaluate safety and effectiveness. In recent years, the FDA hasincreased its reliance on these trials. Phase 4 studies usually involve thousands of participants. Phase 4 studies also may be initiated by the companysponsoring the new drug to gain broader market value for an approved drug. 9 The drug approval process is time-consuming, involves substantial expenditures of resources, and depends upon a number of factors, including theseverity of the illness in question, the availability of alternative treatments, and the risks and benefits demonstrated in the clinical trials. Other Regulations Various federal, state and local laws, regulations, and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory practices, the experimentaluse of animals, the environment and the purchase, storage, movement, import, export, use, and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances,including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research are applicable to our activities. They include, amongothers, the U.S. Atomic Energy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the National Environmental Policy Act,the Toxic Substances Control Act, and Resources Conservation and Recovery Act, national restrictions on technology transfer, import, export, and customsregulations, and other present and possible future local, state, or federal regulation. The compliance with these and other laws, regulations andrecommendations can be time-consuming and involve substantial costs. In addition, the extent of governmental regulation which might result from futurelegislation or administrative action cannot be accurately predicted and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects. Competition Competition in General Competition in the area of biomedical and pharmaceutical research and development is intense and significantly depends on scientific andtechnological factors. These factors include the availability of patent and other protection for technology and products, the ability to commercializetechnological developments and the ability to obtain regulatory approval for testing, manufacturing and marketing. Our competitors include majorpharmaceutical, medical products, chemical and specialized biotechnology companies, many of which have financial, technical and marketing resourcessignificantly greater than ours. In addition, many biotechnology companies have formed collaborations with large, established companies to supportresearch, development and commercialization of products that may be competitive with ours. Academic institutions, governmental agencies and other publicand private research organizations are also conducting research activities and seeking patent protection and may commercialize products on their own orthrough joint ventures. We are aware of certain other products manufactured or under development by competitors that are used for the treatment of thediseases and health conditions that we have targeted for product development. We can provide no assurance that developments by others will not render ourtechnology obsolete or noncompetitive, that we will be able to keep pace with new technological developments or that our technology will be able tosupplant established products and methodologies in the therapeutic areas that are targeted by us. The foregoing factors could have a material adverse effecton our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. These companies, as well as academic institutions, governmental agencies andprivate research organizations, also compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants. Competition within our sector is increasing, so we will encounter competition from existing firms that offer competitive solutions in diabetestreatment solutions. These competitive companies could develop products that are superior to, or have greater market acceptance, than the products beingdeveloped by us. We will have to compete against other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies with greater market recognition and greater financial,marketing and other resources. Our competition will be determined in part by the potential indications for which our technology is developed and ultimately approved byregulatory authorities. In addition, the first product to reach the market in a therapeutic or preventive area is often at a significant competitive advantagerelative to later entrants to the market. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we, or our potential corporate partners, can develop products, complete theclinical trials and approval processes and supply commercial quantities of the products to the market are expected to be important competitive factors. Ourcompetitive position will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific and other personnel, develop effective proprietary products,develop and implement production and marketing plans, obtain and maintain patent protection and secure adequate capital resources. We expect ourtechnology, if approved for sale, to compete primarily on the basis of product efficacy, safety, patient convenience, reliability, value and patent position. 10 Competition for Our Oral Insulin Capsule We anticipate the oral insulin capsule to be a competitive diabetes drug because of its anticipated efficacy and safety profile. The following aretreatment options for type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients: ●Insulin injections, ●Insulin pumps, or ●A combination of diet, exercise and oral medication which improve the body’s response to insulin or cause the body to produce more insulin. Several entities who are actively developing oral insulin capsules and/or alternatives to insulin are thought to be: Novo Nordisk (Denmark), BioconLimited (India) and Midatech (UK). Scientific Advisory Board We maintain a Scientific Advisory Board consisting of internationally recognized scientists who advise us on scientific and technical aspects of ourbusiness. The Scientific Advisory Board meets periodically to review specific projects and to assess the value of new technologies and developments to us. Inaddition, individual members of the Scientific Advisory Board meet with us periodically to provide advice in their particular areas of expertise. TheScientific Advisory Board consists of the following members, information with respect to whom is set forth below: Professor Avram Hershko, Professor NirBarzilai, Professor Ele Ferrannini, Professor Derek LeRoith, Dr. John Amatruda and one of our directors, Dr. Michael Berelowitz, acting as Chairman. We have entered into an agreement with Dr. Berelowitz pursuant to which we will pay him certain fees as compensation for serving as Chairman. See“Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” and “Item 11. Executive Compensation—Director Compensation” for certain informationabout Dr. Berelowitz. Professor Avram Hershko, MD, PhD, joined the Oramed Scientific Advisory Board in July 2008. He earned his MD degree (1965) and PhD degree(1969) from the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School of Jerusalem. Professor Hershko served as a physician in the Israel Defense Forces from 1965 to1967. After a post-doctoral fellowship with Gordon Tomkins at the University of San Francisco (1969-72), he joined the faculty of the Haifa Technionbecoming a professor in 1980. He is now Distinguished Professor in the Unit of Biochemistry in the B. Rappaport Faculty of Medicine of the Technion.Professor Hershko’s main research interests concern the mechanisms by which cellular proteins are degraded, a formerly neglected field of study. ProfessorHershko and his colleagues showed that cellular proteins are degraded by a highly selective proteolytic system. This system tags proteins for destruction bylinkage to a protein called ubiquitin, which had previously been identified in many tissues, but whose function was previously unknown. Subsequent workby Professor Hershko and many other laboratories has shown that the ubiquitin system has a vital role in controlling a wide range of cellular processes, suchas the regulation of cell division, signal transduction and DNA repair. Professor Hershko was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2004) jointly with hisformer PhD student Aaron Ciechanover and their colleague Irwin Rose. His many honors include the Israel Prize for Biochemistry (1994), the Gairdner Award(1999), the Lasker Prize for Basic Medical Research (2000), the Wolf Prize for Medicine (2001) and the Louisa Gross Horwitz Award (2001). ProfessorHershko is a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences (2000) and a Foreign Associate of the U.S. Academy of Sciences (2003). Professor Derek LeRoith, MD, PhD, joined the Oramed Scientific Advisory Board in January 2007. He is currently the Director of Research in theDivision of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Diseases at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York, and Director of the Diabetes and Metabolism ClinicalResearch Center of Excellence Clinical Research Institute at Rambam (LHCRIR) Rambam - Health Care Campus.

He is currently a consultant and anAdjunct Professor of Medicine at Yale University. Employees We have been successful in retaining experienced personnel involved in our research and development program. In addition, we believe we havesuccessfully recruited the clinical/regulatory, quality assurance and other personnel needed to advance through clinical studies or have engaged the servicesof experts in the field for these requirements. As of August 31, 2015, we have contracted with ten individuals for employment or consulting arrangements. Ofour staff, four are senior management, three are engaged in research and development work, and the remaining three are involved in administration work. 12 Additional Information Additional information about us is contained on our Internet website at www.oramed.com.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS. An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information about these risks, togetherwith the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financialcondition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected as a result of any of the following risks. The value of our securities coulddecline as a result of any of these risks. You could lose all or part of your investment in our securities. Some of the statements in “Item 1A. Risk Factors”are forward-looking statements. The following risk factors are not the only risk factors facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties notpresently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Risks Related to Our Business We continue and expect to incur losses in the future. Successful completion of our development programs and our transition to normal operations are dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatoryapprovals from the FDA prior to selling our products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals must be obtained to sell our productsinternationally. There can be no assurance that we will receive regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, and a substantial amount of time maypass before we achieve a level of revenues adequate to support our operations, if at all. We also expect to incur substantial expenditures in connection withthe regulatory approval process for each of our product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will bedirectly dependent on our ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in othercountries. We cannot predict the outcome of these activities. Based on our current cash resources and commitments, we believe we will be able to maintain our current planned development activities and thecorresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months and beyond, although no assurance can be given that we will not need additional fundsprior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in our operating expenses, we may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months. We will need substantial additional capital in order to satisfy our business objectives. To date, we have financed our operations principally through offerings of securities exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Actof 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. We believe that our available resources and cash flow will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capitalneeds for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We will require substantial additional financing at various intervalsin order to continue our research and development programs, including significant requirements for operating expenses including intellectual propertyprotection and enforcement, for pursuit of regulatory approvals, and for commercialization of our products. We can provide no assurance that additionalfunding will be available on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In the event that we are unable to obtain such financing, we will not be able tofully develop and commercialize our technology. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including: ●Continued scientific progress in our research and development programs, ●Costs and timing of conducting clinical trials and seeking regulatory approvals and patent prosecutions, ●Competing technological and market developments, ●Our ability to establish additional collaborative relationships, and ●Effects of commercialization activities and facility expansions if and as required. 13 If we cannot secure adequate financing when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of our research anddevelopment programs or to enter into license or other arrangements with third parties to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwiseseek to develop ourselves and commercialize ourselves. In such event, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may beadversely affected as we may be required to scale-back, eliminate, or delay development efforts or product introductions or enter into royalty, sales or otheragreements with third parties in order to commercialize our products. We have a history of losses and can provide no assurance as to our future operating results. We have no revenues from our research and development activities. Consequently, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows sinceinception. We currently have no product revenues, and may not succeed in developing or commercializing any products which could generate product orlicensing revenues. We do not expect to have any products on the market for several years. In addition, development of our product candidates requires aprocess of pre-clinical and clinical testing, during which our products could fail. We may not be able to enter into agreements with one or more companiesexperienced in the manufacturing and marketing of therapeutic drugs and, to the extent that we are unable to do so, we will not be able to market our productcandidates. Eventual profitability will depend on our success in developing, manufacturing, and marketing our product candidates. As of August 31, 2015,August 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013, we had working capital of $15,883,000, $20,805,000 and $8,146,000, respectively, and stockholders’ equity of$24,828,000, $20,793,000 and $8,131,000, respectively. We have generated no revenues to date. For the period from our inception on April 12, 2002through August 31, 2015, the year ended August 31, 2013, the year ended August 31, 2014 and the year ended August 31, 2015, we incurred net losses of$35,052,000, $4,232,000, $5,696,000 and $7,232,000, respectively. We may never achieve profitability and expect to incur net losses in the foreseeablefuture. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We rely upon patents to protect our technology. The patent position of biopharmaceutical and biotechnology firms is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. We donot know whether any of our current or future patent applications will result in the issuance of any patents. Even issued patents may be challenged,invalidated or circumvented. Patents may not provide a competitive advantage or afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Competitorsor potential competitors may have filed applications for, or may have received patents and may obtain additional and proprietary rights to compounds orprocesses used by or competitive with ours. In addition, laws of certain foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as dothe laws of the United States. Patent litigation is becoming widespread in the biopharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and we cannot predict how this will affect our effortsto form strategic alliances, conduct clinical testing or manufacture and market any products under development. If challenged, our patents may not be heldvalid. We could also become involved in interference proceedings in connection with one or more of our patents or patent applications to determine priorityof invention. If we become involved in any litigation, interference or other administrative proceedings, we will likely incur substantial expenses and theefforts of our technical and management personnel will be significantly diverted. In addition, an adverse determination could subject us to significantliabilities or require us to seek licenses that may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We may be restricted or prevented from manufacturing andselling our products in the event of an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or if we fail to obtain necessary licenses. 14 We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be liable for infringing the intellectual property rights of others. Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies. We currently hold severalpending patent applications in the United States for our technologies covering oral administration of insulin and other proteins and oral administration ofexenatide and proteins, corresponding patent applications filed in Canada, Europe, Japan, China, Russia, Israel, Brazil, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand,Hong Kong and India, 25 patents issued by the Australian, Canadian, Chinese, Israeli, Japanese, New Zealand, South African, Russian, Hong Kong, Swiss,German, Spanish, French, United Kingdom, Italy and the Netherlands (for our technologies covering oral administration of insulin and other proteins) andNew Zealand, South African, Australian and Israeli (for our technologies covering oral administration of insulin and other proteins and oral administration ofexenatides) patent offices, and one patent allowed in the United States (for our technologies covering oral administration of insulin and other proteins).Further, we intend to rely on a combination of trade secrets and non-disclosure and other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect our rightsin our technology. We intend to depend upon confidentiality agreements with our officers, directors, employees, consultants, and subcontractors, as well ascollaborative partners, to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology. These measures may not afford us sufficient or complete protection, and othersmay independently develop technology similar to ours, otherwise avoid our confidentiality agreements, or produce patents that would materially andadversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. We believe that our technology is not subject to any infringementactions based upon the patents of any third parties; however, our technology may in the future be found to infringe upon the rights of others. Others mayassert infringement claims against us, and if we should be found to infringe upon their patents, or otherwise impermissibly utilize their intellectual property,our ability to continue to use our technology could be materially restricted or prohibited. If this event occurs, we may be required to obtain licenses from theholders of this intellectual property, enter into royalty agreements, or redesign our products so as not to utilize this intellectual property, each of which mayprove to be uneconomical or otherwise impossible. Licenses or royalty agreements required in order for us to use this technology may not be available onterms acceptable to us, or at all. These claims could result in litigation, which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition,and results of operations. Our commercial success will also depend significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of thirdparties. Patent applications are, in many cases, maintained in secrecy until patents are issued. The publication of discoveries in the scientific or patentliterature frequently occurs substantially later than the date on which the underlying discoveries were made and patent applications are filed. In the event ofinfringement or violation of another party’s patent, we may be prevented from pursuing product development or commercialization. See “Item 1. Business—Description of Business—Patents and Licenses.” At present, our success depends primarily on the successful commercialization of our oral insulin capsule. The successful commercialization of oral insulin capsule is crucial for our success. At present, our principal product is the oral insulin capsule. Ouroral insulin capsule is in a very early stage of clinical development and faces a variety of risks and uncertainties. Principally, these risks include thefollowing: ●Future clinical trial results may show that the oral insulin capsule is not well tolerated by recipients at its effective doses or is not efficacious ascompared to placebo, ●Future clinical trial results may be inconsistent with previous preliminary testing results and data from our earlier studies may be inconsistentwith clinical data, ●Even if our oral insulin capsule is shown to be safe and effective for its intended purposes, we may face significant or unforeseen difficulties inobtaining or manufacturing sufficient quantities or at reasonable prices, ●Our ability to complete the development and commercialization of the oral insulin capsule for our intended use is significantly dependent uponour ability to obtain and maintain experienced and committed partners to assist us with obtaining clinical and regulatory approvals for, and themanufacturing, marketing and distribution of, the oral insulin capsule on a worldwide basis, ●Even if our oral insulin capsule is successfully developed, commercially produced and receives all necessary regulatory approvals, there is noguarantee that there will be market acceptance of our product, and ●Our competitors may develop therapeutics or other treatments which are superior or less costly than our own with the result that our products,even if they are successfully developed, manufactured and approved, may not generate significant revenues. 15 If we are unsuccessful in dealing with any of these risks, or if we are unable to successfully commercialize our oral insulin capsule for some otherreason, it would likely seriously harm our business. We have limited experience in conducting clinical trials. Clinical trials must meet FDA and foreign regulatory requirements. We have limited experience in designing, conducting and managing thepreclinical studies and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates in any country. We have entered into agreementswith Integrium LLC to assist us in designing, conducting and managing our various clinical trials in the United States. Any failure of Integrium or any otherconsultant to fulfill their obligations could result in significant additional costs as well as delays in designing, consulting and completing clinical trials onour products. Our clinical trials may encounter delays, suspensions or other problems. We may encounter problems in clinical trials that may cause us or the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies to delay, suspend or terminate our clinicaltrials at any phase. These problems could include the possibility that we may not be able to conduct clinical trials at our preferred sites, enroll a sufficientnumber of patients for our clinical trials at one or more sites or begin or successfully complete clinical trials in a timely fashion, if at all. Furthermore, we, theFDA or foreign regulatory agencies may suspend clinical trials at any time if we or they believe the subjects participating in the trials are being exposed tounacceptable health risks or if we or they find deficiencies in the clinical trial process or conduct of the investigation. If clinical trials of any of the productcandidates fail, we will not be able to market the product candidate which is the subject of the failed clinical trials. The FDA and foreign regulatory agenciescould also require additional clinical trials, which would result in increased costs and significant development delays. Our failure to adequately demonstratethe safety and effectiveness of a pharmaceutical product candidate under development could delay or prevent regulatory approval of the product candidateand could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that our products will obtain regulatory approval or that the results of clinical studies will be favorable. The testing, marketing and manufacturing of any of our products will require the approval of the FDA or regulatory agencies of other countries. Wehave completed certain non-FDA clinical trials and pre-clinical trials for our products. In addition, we have completed Phase IIa clinical trials of ORMD-0801in patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes under an IND with the FDA, and we initiated a Phase IIb clinical trial in patients with type 2 diabetes underan IND with the FDA in June 2015. However, success in pre-clinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful.For example, a number of companies in the pharmaceutical industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials. We cannot predict with any certainty the amount of time necessary to obtain regulatory approvals, including from the FDA or other foreignregulatory authorities, and whether any such approvals will ultimately be granted. In any event, review and approval by the regulatory bodies is anticipatedto take a number of years. Preclinical and clinical trials may reveal that one or more of our products are ineffective or unsafe, in which event furtherdevelopment of such products could be seriously delayed or terminated. Moreover, obtaining approval for certain products may require the testing on humansubjects of substances whose effects on humans are not fully understood or documented. Delays in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals of any proposedproduct and failure to receive such approvals would have an adverse effect on the product’s potential commercial success and on our business, prospects,financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that a product may be found to be ineffective or unsafe due to conditions or factswhich arise after development has been completed and regulatory approvals have been obtained. In this event we may be required to withdraw such productfrom the market. See “Item 1. Business—Description of Business—Government Regulation.” 16 We are dependent upon third party suppliers of our raw materials. We are dependent on outside vendors for our entire supply of the oral insulin capsule and do not currently have any long-term agreements in placefor the supply of oral insulin capsules. While we believe that there are numerous sources of supply available, if the third party suppliers were to ceaseproduction or otherwise fail to supply us with quality raw materials in sufficient quantities on a timely basis and we were unable to contract on acceptableterms for these services with alternative suppliers, our ability to produce our products and to conduct testing and clinical trials would be materially adverselyaffected. We are highly dependent upon our ability to enter into agreements with collaborative partners to develop, commercialize, and market ourproducts. Our long-term strategy is to ultimately seek a strategic commercial partner, or partners, such as large pharmaceutical companies, with extensiveexperience in the development, commercialization, and marketing of insulin applications and/or other orally digestible drugs. We anticipate such partner orpartners would be responsible for, or substantially support, late stage clinical trials (Phase III) and sales and marketing of our oral insulin capsule and otherproducts. Such planned strategic partnership, or partnerships, may provide a marketing and sales infrastructure for our products as well as financial andoperational support for global clinical trials, post marketing studies, label expansions and other regulatory requirements concerning future clinicaldevelopment in the United States and elsewhere. While our strategy is to partner with an appropriate party, no assurance can be given that any third party would be interested in partnering with us.We currently lack the resources to manufacture any of our product candidates on a large scale and we have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities. Inthe event we are not able to enter into a collaborative agreement with a partner or partners, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we may be unable tocommercialize our products, which would have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition.We may be unable to compete with more substantial enterprises. The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition. As aresult, our products could become obsolete before we recoup any portion of our related research and development and commercialization expenses. Theseindustries are highly competitive, and this competition comes both from biotechnology firms and from major pharmaceutical and chemical companies. Manyof these companies have substantially greater financial, marketing, and human resources than we do (including, in some cases, substantially greaterexperience in clinical testing, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceutical products). We also experience competition in the development of ourproducts from universities and other research institutions and compete with others in acquiring technology from such universities and institutions. Inaddition, certain of our products may be subject to competition from products developed using other technologies. See “Item 1. Business—Description ofBusiness—Competition.” We have limited senior management resources and may be required to obtain more resources to manage our growth. We expect the expansion of our business to place a significant strain on our limited managerial, operational, and financial resources. We will berequired to expand our operational and financial systems significantly and to expand, train, and manage our work force in order to manage the expansion ofour operations. Our failure to fully integrate our new employees into our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financialcondition, and results of operations. Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel is critical to our operations and expansion. We face competitionfor these types of personnel from other technology companies and more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations andgreater financial, technical, human, and other resources than we have. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a timelybasis, on competitive terms, or at all. If we are not successful in attracting and retaining these personnel, our business, prospects, financial condition, andresults of operations will be materially adversely affected. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations,” “Item 1. Business—Description of Business—Strategy” and “—Employees.” 17 We depend upon our senior management and skilled personnel and their loss or unavailability could put us at a competitive disadvantage. We currently depend upon the efforts and abilities of our senior executives, as well as the services of several key consultants and other keypersonnel, including Dr. Miriam Kidron, our Chief Medical and Technology Officer. The loss or unavailability of the services of any of these individuals forany significant period of time could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. We do notmaintain “key man” life insurance policies for any of our senior executives. In addition, recruiting and retaining qualified scientific personnel to performfuture research and development work will be critical to our success. There is currently a shortage of employees with expertise in developing, manufacturingand commercialization of products and related clinical and regulatory affairs, and this shortage is likely to continue. Competition for skilled personnel isintense and turnover rates are high. Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel may be limited. Our inability to attract and retain qualified skilledpersonnel would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Healthcare policy changes, including pending legislation recently adopted and further proposals still pending to reform the U.S. healthcaresystem, may harm our future business. Healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decade. There have been and continue to be proposals by legislators, regulators and third-party payors to keep these costs down. Certain proposals, if passed, would impose limitations on the prices we will be able to charge for the products that weare developing, or the amounts of reimbursement available for these products from governmental agencies or third-party payors. These limitations could inturn reduce the amount of revenues that we will be able to generate in the future from sales of our products and licenses of our technology. In March 2010, the U.S. Congress enacted and President Obama signed into law healthcare reform legislation that has significantly impacted thepharmaceutical industry. In addition to requiring most individuals to have health insurance and establishing new regulations on health plans, this legislationrequires discounts under the Medicare drug benefit program and increased rebates on drugs covered by Medicaid. In addition, the legislation imposes anannual fee, which has increased annually, on sales by branded pharmaceutical manufacturers. There can be no assurance that our business will not bematerially adversely affected by these increased rebates, fees and other provisions. In addition, it appears likely that these and other ongoing initiatives in theUnited States will continue the pressure on drug pricing, especially under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and may also increase regulatory burdensand operating costs. The announcement or adoption of any such initiative could have an adverse effect on potential revenues from any product that we maysuccessfully develop. Various healthcare reform proposals have also emerged at the state level. We cannot predict what healthcare initiatives, if any, will be implementedat the federal or state level, or the effect any future legislation or regulation will have on us. However, an expansion in government’s role in the U.S.healthcare industry may lower the future revenues for the products we are developing and adversely affect our future business, possibly materially. We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. A considerable amount of our expenses are generated in dollars or in dollar-linked currencies, but a significant portion of our expenses such as someclinical studies and payroll costs are generated in other currencies such as NIS, Euro and British pounds. Most of the time, our non-dollar assets are not totallyoffset by non-dollar liabilities. Due to the foregoing and to the fact that our financial results are measured in dollars, our results could be adversely affected asa result of a strengthening or weakening of the dollar compared to these other currencies. During fiscal 2011, 2013 and 2014, the dollar depreciated inrelation to the NIS, which raised the dollar cost of our Israeli based operations and adversely affected our financial results, while during fiscal 2012 and 2015the dollar increased in relation to the NIS, which reduced the dollar cost of our Israeli based operations costs. In addition, our results could also be adverselyaffected if we are unable to guard against currency fluctuations in the future. Although we may in the future decide to undertake foreign exchange hedgingtransactions to cover a portion of our foreign currency exchange exposure, we currently do not hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks. Thesetransactions, however, may not adequately protect us from future currency fluctuations and, even if they do protect us, may involve operational or financingcosts we would not otherwise incur. 18 Risks Related to our Common Stock As the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, this may make it difficult for you to sell your shares of common stockwhen you want or at prices you find attractive. The price of our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, and constantly changes. In recent years, the stockmarket in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue to fluctuate.These fluctuations may result from a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include: ●Clinical trial results and the timing of the release of such results, ●The amount of cash resources and our ability to obtain additional funding, ●Announcements of research activities, business developments, technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors, ●Entering into or terminating strategic relationships, ●Changes in government regulation, ●Departure of key personnel, ●Disputes concerning patents or proprietary rights, ●Changes in expense level, ●Future sales of our equity or equity-related securities, ●Public concern regarding the safety, efficacy or other aspects of the products or methodologies being developed, ●Activities of various interest groups or organizations, ●Media coverage, and ●Status of the investment markets. Future sales of common stock or the issuance of securities senior to our common stock or convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for,our common stock could materially adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, and our ability to raise funds in new equity offerings. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or other equity-related securities in the public market or privately, or the perception thatsuch sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through futureofferings of equity or other equity-related securities. We anticipate that we will need to raise capital through offerings of equity and equity related securities.We can make no prediction as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of our common stock or equity-related securities, or the availability of shares ofcommon stock for future sale, will have on the trading price of our common stock. Our stockholders may experience significant dilution as a result of any additional financing using our equity securities. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Sale of additionalequity securities at prices below certain levels may trigger anti-dilution provisions with respect to certain securities we have previously sold. Our management will have significant flexibility in using the net proceeds of any offering of securities. We intend generally to use the net proceeds from any offerings of our securities for expenses related to our clinical trials, research and productdevelopment activities, and for general corporate purposes, including general working capital purposes. Our management will have significant flexibility inapplying the net proceeds of any such offering. The actual amounts and timing of expenditures will vary significantly depending on a number of factors,including the amount of cash used in our operations and our research and development efforts. Management’s failure to use these funds effectively wouldhave an adverse effect on the value of our common stock and could make it more difficult and costly to raise funds in the future. 19 Future sales of our common stock by our existing stockholders could adversely affect our stock price. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market, or theperception that these sales could occur. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price thatwe deem appropriate. As of November 24, 2015, we had outstanding 11,599,825 shares of common stock, a large majority of which are freely tradable. Givingeffect to the exercise in full of all of our outstanding warrants, options and restricted stock units, or RSUs, including those currently unexercisable orunvested, we would have outstanding 14,542,789 shares of common stock. Our issuance of warrants, options and restricted stock units to investors, employees and consultants may have a negative effect on the tradingprices of our common stock as well as a dilutive effect. We have issued and may continue to issue warrants, options, RSUs and convertible notes at, above or below the current market price. As ofNovember 24, 2015, we had outstanding warrants and options exercisable for 1,879,105 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of$6.00. We also had outstanding restricted stock units exercisable for 86,116 shares of common stock at no cost. In addition to the dilutive effect of a largenumber of shares of common stock and a low exercise price for the warrants and options, there is a potential that a large number of underlying shares ofcommon stock may be sold in the open market at any given time, which could place downward pressure on the trading of our common stock. Delaware law could discourage a change in control, or an acquisition of us by a third party, even if the acquisition would be favorable to you,and thereby adversely affect existing stockholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains provisions that may have the effect of making more difficult or delaying attempts by others toobtain control of our Company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of stockholders. Delaware law imposes conditions on certain businesscombination transactions with “interested stockholders.” These provisions and others that could be adopted in the future could deter unsolicited takeovers ordelay or prevent changes in our control or management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares ofcommon stock over then current market prices. These provisions may also limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to bein their best interests. Because we will not pay cash dividends, investors may have to sell shares of our common stock in order to realize their investment. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retainfuture earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Any credit agreements which we may enter into with institutionallenders or otherwise may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will bedependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and any other factors that our Board decides is relevant. See “Item 5.Market Price for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.” Because certain of our stockholders control a significant number of shares of our common stock, they may have effective control over actionsrequiring stockholder approval. As of November 24, 2015, our directors, executive officers and principal affiliated stockholders beneficially own approximately 12.6% of ouroutstanding shares of common stock, excluding shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and RSUs. As a result, these stockholders, should theyact together, may have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and anymerger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these stockholders, should they act together, may have the ability to controlour management and affairs. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership might harm the market price of our common stock by: ●Delaying, deferring or preventing a change in corporate control, ●Impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or ●Discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. 20 Risks Related to Conducting Business in Israel We are affected by the political, economic, and military risks of locating our principal operations in Israel. Our operations are located in the State of Israel, and we are directly affected by political, economic, and security conditions in that country. Sincethe establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and a state of hostility,varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. In addition, acts of terrorism, armed conflicts or political instability inthe region could negatively affect local business conditions and harm our results of operations. We cannot predict the effect on the region of any diplomaticinitiatives or political developments involving Israel or the Palestinians or other countries and territories in the Middle East. Recent political events,including political uprisings, social unrest and regime change, in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa have weakened the stability of thosecountries and territories, which could result in extremists coming to power. In addition, Iran has threatened to attack Israel and is widely believed to bedeveloping nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah inLebanon. This situation has escalated in the past and may potentially escalate in the future to violent events which may affect Israel and us. Our business,prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if major hostilities involving Israel should occur or if tradebetween Israel and its current trading partners is interrupted or curtailed. All adult male permanent residents of Israel, unless exempt, may be required to perform military reserve duty annually. Additionally, all suchresidents are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of our officers, directors, and employees currently areobligated to perform annual military reserve duty. We can provide no assurance that such requirements will not have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations in the future, particularly if emergency circumstances occur. Because we received grants from the Israeli Office of the Chief Scientist, we are subject to ongoing restrictions. We received royalty-bearing grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, or the OCS, for researchand development programs that meet specified criteria. We recognized grants in the amounts of $297,000, $428,000 and $49,000 in the years ended August31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Due to reductions of the budget of the OCS, the amount of grants we receive from the Israeli government in the futuremight be lower than in prior years, if we receive any at all. The terms of the OCS grants limit our ability to transfer know-how developed under an approvedresearch and development program outside of Israel, regardless of whether the royalties were fully paid. It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us or our officers and directors and to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel. Almost all of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, service of process upon us,our Israeli subsidiary and our directors and officers, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because the majority of our assets andinvestments, and most of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United Statesany judgments obtained against us or any such officers or directors. Additionally, it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actionsinstituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum inwhich to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to suchclaim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process.Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. 21 Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel, Israeli courtsmay enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws, as well as a monetaryor compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that the following key conditions are met: ●subject to limited exceptions, the judgment is final and non-appealable; ●the judgment was given by a court competent under the laws of the state in which the court is located and is otherwise enforceable in such state; ●the judgment was rendered by a court competent under the rules of private international law applicable in Israel; ●the laws of the state in which the judgment was given provides for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts; ●adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence; ●the judgment and its enforcement are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel; ●the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; and ●an action between the same parties in the same matter was not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit was instituted in the U.S. court. If any of these conditions are not met, Israeli courts will likely not enforce the applicable U.S. judgment. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS. Not applicable. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. Our principal executive offices are comprised of approximately 168 square meters of leased office space in Givat-Ram, Jerusalem, Israel. The currentlease term is from November 4, 2013 until November 3, 2016. The aggregate annual base rent for this space is currently $23,000, and is linked to the increasein the Israeli consumer price index. We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current business requirements. In the eventthat we should require additional or alternative facilities, we believe that such facilities can be obtained on short notice at competitive rates. As security for our obligations under the lease agreement, we have provided a bank guarantee in an amount equal to three monthly lease payments,valid until November 30, 2016. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. From time to time we may become subject to litigation incidental to our business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES. Not applicable. 22 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITYSECURITIES. Market Price for our Common Stock On February 11, 2013, our common stock began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “ORMP.” Until then it was quoted on the OTCQB under thesame symbol. The quarterly high and low reported bid prices for our common stock as quoted on the OTCQB or the high and low sales price on Nasdaq, asapplicable, for the periods indicated are as follows: High Low Year Ended August 31, 2014 Three Months Ended November 30, 2013 $11.49 $7.31 Three Months Ended February 28, 2014 $15.95 $6.72 Three Months Ended May 31, 2014 $31.73 $6.83 Three Months Ended August 31, 2014 $8.64 $6.12 Year Ended August 31, 2015 Three Months Ended November 30, 2014 $10.15 $5.81 Three Months Ended February 28, 2015 $6.55 $4.31 Three Months Ended May 31, 2015 $9.84 $3.71 Three Months Ended August 31, 2015 $7.91 $4.15 The last reported sale price per share of common stock as quoted on Nasdaq was $7.65 on November 24, 2015. Holders As of November 24, 2015, there were 11,599,825 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held of record by approximately 40 registeredstockholders. We believe that a significant number of stockholders hold their shares of our common stock in brokerage accounts and registered in the name ofstock depositories and are therefore not included in the number of stockholders of record. Dividend Policy We have never paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in theforeseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings to fund ongoing operations and future capital requirements of our business. Any future determinationto pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirementsand such other factors as our Board deems relevant. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds On each of November 3, 2014, March 4, 2015, May 3, 2015 and August 1, 2015, we issued 3,750 shares of our common stock, valued at $93,000, inthe aggregate, to Corporate Profile, LLC, or Corporate Profile, in payment of a portion of the consulting fee for investor relations services owed to CorporateProfile pursuant to Letter Agreements, dated May 13, 2014 and May 19, 2015, between us. These issuances and sales were exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. 23 Comparative Stock Performance Graph The following graph shows how an initial investment of $100 in our common stock would have compared to an equal investment in the NasdaqComposite Index and the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index during the period from September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2015. The performance shown is notnecessarily indicative of future price performance. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensedconsolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein and in our consolidated financial statements. In addition to our consolidated financial statements, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimatesand beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to thesedifferences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Overview of Operations We are a pharmaceutical company currently engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orallyingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules or pills for delivery of otherpolypeptides. Oral Insulin: We are seeking to revolutionize the treatment of diabetes through our proprietary flagship product, an orally ingestible insulin capsule(ORMD-0801). We completed Phase IIa clinical trials in patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and in June 2015 initiated a Phase IIb clinical trials inpatients with type 2 diabetes under an IND with the FDA. GLP-1 Analog: Our second pipeline product (ORMD-0901) is an orally ingestible exenatide (GLP-1 analog) capsule, which aids in the balance ofblood-sugar levels and decreases appetite. In January 2013, we began a clinical trial for our oral exenatide capsule on healthy volunteers and type 2 diabeticpatients. Based on this study, we decided to make slight adjustments in the manufacturing of these capsules and have begun toxicology studies on the newcapsules. In parallel to the toxicology studies we intend on initiating a follow-on clinical trial in the first quarter of calendar year 2015. In September 2013,we submitted a pre-IND, package to the FDA for ORMD-0901, our oral exenatide capsule, for a Phase II clinical trial on healthy volunteers and type 2diabetic patients. We began a non-U.S. based Phase Ib trial study in August 2015. Combination of Oral Insulin and GLP-1 Analog: Our third pipeline product is a combination of our two primary products, oral insulin and oralexenatide. In February 2013, we commenced a first human clinical trial on type 2 diabetic volunteers with our oral insulin capsule delivered in combinationwith our oral exenatide capsule. In the near term, we are focusing our efforts on the development of the Company’s flagship products, oral insulin and oralexenatide. Once these two products have progressed further in clinical trials, we intend on running further studies with the oral combination therapy. Results of Operations Critical accounting policies Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our accompanying consolidated financial statements. We believe thatthe 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 consolidated financial statements, which weprepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us tomake estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date ofthe consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate suchestimates and judgments. 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. 26 Valuation of options and warrants: We grant options to purchase shares of our common stock to employees and consultants and issue warrants inconnection with some of our financings and to certain other consultants. We account for share-based payments in accordance with the guidance that requires awards classified as equity awards be accounted for using thegrant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model and is recognized as anexpense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. We estimate forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated futureconditions. We elected to recognize compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the acceleratedmethod 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 forbased on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, pursuant to theguidance. The fair value of the options granted is measured on each reporting date, and the gains (losses) are recorded to earnings over the related serviceperiod using the straight-line method. Valuation of warrants issued as part of capital raisings that are classified as a liability: Warrants that entitle the holder to down-round protection(through ratchet and anti-dilution provisions) are classified as liabilities in the statement of financial position. The liability is measured both initially and insubsequent periods in fair value, with changes in fair value are charged to finance expenses, net. The fair value of the warrants is determined by using a Monte Carlo type model based on the risk neutral approach. The model takes as an input theestimated future dates when new capital will be raised, and builds a multi-step dynamic model. The first step is to model the risk neutral distribution of theshare value on the new issue dates, then for each path to use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of the warrants on the last issue date including allthe changes in exercise price and quantity along this path. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the future expected issuedates. Significant delay in this input would result in a higher fair value measurement. Taxes on income: Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differencesbetween the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax ratesexpected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight ofavailable evidence and the Company’s clinical program, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We haveprovided a full valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets. Regarding our subsidiary, Oramed Ltd., relevant accounting guidance prohibits the recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise fromdifferences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local currency into dollars using historicalexchange rates, and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the above-mentioned differences were notreflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Uncertainty in income tax: We follow a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the taxposition for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained onaudit. 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. Suchliabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within twelve months from the balance sheet date. Our policy is to includeinterest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expenses. 27 Comparison of Fiscal 2015 to Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2014 to Fiscal 2013 The following table summarizes certain statements of operations data for us for the twelve month periods ended August 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013: Year ended August 31, Operating Data: 2015 2014 2013 Research and development expenses, net $4,781 $3,277 $2,272 General and administrative expenses 2,602 2,629 2,032 Impairment of available-for-sale securities - - - Financial expenses (income), net (150) (214) 133 Loss before taxes on income 7,233 5,692 4,437 Taxes on income (Tax benefit) (1) 4 (205)Net loss for the period 7,232 5,696 4,232 Loss per common share – basic and diluted $0.67 $0.62 $0.59 Weighted average common shares outstanding 10,820,465 9,244,059 7,209,283 Research and development expenses Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost ofsalaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, 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 developmentare expensed as incurred. Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. Weoutsource a substantial portion of our clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as CROs, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist us with the execution of our clinical studies. Clinical activities which relate principally to clinical sites and other administrative functions to manage our clinical trials are performed primarilyby 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 ofmaterials, cost of manufacturing of the oral insulin capsules and payments for patient recruitment and treatment, as well as salaries and related expenses ofresearch and development staff. In August 2009, Oramed Ltd. was awarded a government grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 3.1 million (approximately $813,000), fromthe OCS. This grant was used for research and development expenses for the period of February 2009 to June 2010. The funds were used by us to supportfurther research and development and clinical study of our oral insulin capsule and oral GLP-1-analog. In December 2010, Oramed Ltd. was awarded a secondgrant, or the Second Grant, amounting to a total net amount of NIS 2.9 million (approximately $720,000) from the OCS, which was designated for researchand development expenses for the period of July 2010 to November 2011. As a result of a delay in the research and development plan, as of November 30,2011, Oramed Ltd. had used only NIS 1,473,000 (approximately $365,000) of the Second Grant. In May 2012, Oramed Ltd. was awarded an extension of ninemonths to use the funds of the Second Grant until August 2012. In addition, in May 2012, Oramed Ltd. was granted a third grant amounting to a total netamount of NIS 595,000 (approximately $148,000) from the OCS, which was designated for research and development expenses for the period of September2012 to December 2012. In May 2013, Oramed Ltd. was awarded a fourth grant amounting to a total net amount of NIS 975,000 (approximately $265,000)from the OCS, which was designated for research and development expenses for the period of January 2013 to December 2013. In March 2014, the OCSaccepted Oramed Ltd.’s application to shorten that period to ten months, due to the rapid utilization of the grant, ending October 31, 2013. In March 2014,Oramed Ltd. 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 forresearch and development expenses for the period of November 2013 to October 2014. In September 2014, this period was extended by two months untilDecember 2014. We used the funds to support further research and development and clinical studies of our oral insulin capsule and oral GLP-1 analog. Thefive grants are subject to repayment according to the terms determined by the OCS and applicable law. See “—Government grants” below. 28 Research and development expenses, for the year ended August 31, 2015 increased by 46% to $4,781,000 from $3,277,000 for the year endedAugust 31, 2014. The increase is attributed to expenses related to clinical trials, as well as to the decrease in OCS grants in the year ended August 31, 2015.During the year ended August 31, 2015, stock based compensation costs totaled $616,000, as compared to $905,000 during the year ended August 31, 2014. Research and development expenses, for the year ended August 31, 2014 increased by 44% to $3,277,000 from $2,272,000 for the year endedAugust 31, 2013. The increase is attributed to expenses related to clinical trials, as well as to the increase in research and development staff and to cashbonuses to research and development staff for the Company's 2013 achievements, as well as to the increase in stock based compensation costs, which isattributed to awards granted to officers and directors in April 2014. During the year ended August 31, 2014, stock based compensation costs totaled$905,000, as compared to $347,000 during the year ended August 31, 2013. Government grants The Government of Israel encourages research and development projects through the OCS, pursuant to the Law for the Encouragement of IndustrialResearch and Development, 1984, as amended, or the R&D Law. Under the R&D Law, a research and development plan that meets specified criteria iseligible for a grant of up to 50% of certain approved research and development expenditures. Each plan must be approved by the OCS. In the years ended August 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized research and development grants in an amount of $49,000, $428,000 and$297,000, respectively. As of August 31, 2015, we had no contingent liabilities to the OCS. Under the terms of the grants we received from the OCS, we are obligated to pay royalties of 3% to 3.5% on all revenues derived from the sale of theproducts developed pursuant to the funded plans, including revenues from licensed ancillary services. Pursuant to a proposed amendment to the R&D Law,our royalty rate may be 3% to 6% per annum. Royalties are payable up to 100% of the amount of such grants, or up to 300% as detailed below, linked to theU.S. Dollar, plus annual interest at LIBOR. The R&D Law generally requires that a product developed under a program be manufactured in Israel. However, upon notification to the OCS (andprovided that the OCS does not object within 30 days), up to 10% of a company’s approved Israeli manufacturing volume, measured on an aggregate basis,may be transferred outside of Israel. In addition, upon the approval of the OCS, a greater portion of the manufacturing volume may be performed outside ofIsrael, provided that the grant recipient pays royalties at an increased rate, which may be substantial, and the aggregate repayment amount is increased up to300% of the grant, depending on the portion of the total manufacturing volume that is performed outside of Israel. The R&D Law further permits the OCS,among other things, to approve the transfer of manufacturing rights outside of Israel in exchange for an import of different manufacturing into Israel as asubstitute, in lieu of the increased royalties. The R&D Law also allows for the approval of grants in cases in which the applicant declares that part of themanufacturing will be performed outside of Israel or by non-Israeli residents and an OCS research committee is convinced that doing so is essential for theexecution of the program. This declaration will be a significant factor in the determination of the OCS as to whether to approve a program and the amountand other terms of benefits to be granted. For example, an increased royalty rate and repayment amount might be required in such cases. The R&D Law also provides that know-how developed under an approved research and development program may not be transferred to third partiesin Israel without the approval of the research committee. Such approval is not required for the sale or export of any products resulting from such research ordevelopment. The R&D Law further provides that the know-how developed under an approved research and development program may not be transferred toany third parties outside Israel absent OCS approval which may be granted under special circumstances such as those noted in the following cases: (a) thegrant recipient pays to the OCS a portion of the sale price paid in consideration for such OCS-funded know-how or the price paid in consideration for the saleof the grant recipient itself, as the case may be (according to certain formulas; the portion to be paid in respect of a sale of the grant recipient itself changedunder the applicable rules that came into effect in November 2012); (b) the grant recipient receives know-how from a third party in exchange for its OCS-funded know-how; or (c) such transfer of OCS-funded know-how arises in connection with certain types of cooperation in research and developmentactivities. 29 The R&D Law imposes reporting requirements with respect to certain changes in the ownership of a grant recipient. The R&D Law requires the grantrecipient and its controlling shareholders and foreign interested parties to notify the OCS of any change in control of the recipient or a change in the holdingsof the means of control of the recipient that results in a non-Israeli becoming an interested party in the recipient, and requires the new interested party toundertake to the OCS to comply with the R&D Law. In addition, the rules of the OCS may require additional information or representations in respect ofcertain such events. For this purpose, “control” is defined as the ability to direct the activities of a company other than any ability arising solely from servingas an officer or director of the company. A person is presumed to have control if such person holds 50% or more of the means of control of a company.“Means of control” refers to voting rights or the right to appoint directors or the chief executive officer. An “interested party” of a company includes a holderof 5% or more of its outstanding share capital or voting rights, its chief executive officer and directors, someone who has the right to appoint its chiefexecutive officer or at least one director, and a company with respect to which any of the foregoing interested parties owns 25% or more of the outstandingshare capital or voting rights or has the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors. Failure to meet the R&D Law’s requirements may subject us to mandatory repayment of grants received by us (together with interest and penalties),as well as expose us to criminal proceedings. In addition, the Israeli government may from time to time audit sales of products which it claims incorporatetechnology funded through OCS programs which may lead to additional royalties being payable on additional products. Grants from Bio-Jerusalem The Bio-Jerusalem fund was founded by the Jerusalem Development Authority in order to support the biomed industry in Jerusalem. We arecommitted to pay royalties to the Bio-Jerusalem fund on proceeds from future sales at a rate of 4% and up to 100% of the amount of the grants received by theCompany (Israeli CPI linked) in the total aggregate amount of $65,000 as of August 31, 2015. For the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, there were nogrants received from the Bio-Jerusalem fund, and for the year ended August 31, 2013, we received $12,000, from the Bio-Jerusalem fund. As we have not yetrealized any revenues since inception, we have not incurred any royalty liability to the Bio-Jerusalem fund. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses include the salaries and related expenses of our management, consulting costs, legal and professional fees,traveling, business development costs, insurance expenses and other general costs. General and administrative expenses decreased by 1% from $2,629,000 for the year ended August 31, 2014 to $2,602,000 for the year ended August31, 2015. The decrease in costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the year ended August 31, 2015, reflects a decrease in salariesand related expenses resulting from cash bonuses to employees paid in 2014, and from a decrease in professional expenses, that were partially offset by anincrease in stock based compensation costs of $168,000, arising from restricted stock units granted to employees and consultants. During the year endedAugust 31, 2015, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $731,000 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, ascompared to $563,000 during the year ended August 31, 2014. General and administrative expenses increased by 29% from $2,032,000 for the year ended August 31, 2013 to $2,629,000 for the year endedAugust 31, 2014. The increase in costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the year ended August 31, 2014, reflects an increase insalaries and related expenses resulting from cash bonuses to employees for the Company's 2013 achievements, that was partially offset by a decrease inprofessional expenses. During the year ended August 31, 2014, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $563,000 related to stockoptions granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $372,000 during the year ended August 31, 2013. 30 Financial income/expense, net Net financial income was $150,000 for the year ended August 31, 2015 as compared to net financial income of $214,000 for the year ended August31, 2014. This was mainly due to the gain on sale of marketable securities pf $80,000 in the year ended August 31, 2014 as compared to no gain on sale ofmarketable securities in the year ended August 31, 2015, as the Company did not sell any of its D.N.A ordinary shares during that year. Net financial income was $214,000 for the year ended August 31, 2014 as compared to net financial expense of $133,000 for the year ended August31, 2013. This was mainly due to the decrease of warrant liabilities attributable to warrants held by Regals Fund LP, or Regals, and a corresponding increasein 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$297,000, and from an increase in interest income on available cash and cash equivalents primarily due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents balancethat resulted from public offerings completed in July and December 2013. Taxes on income / Tax benefit We had a tax benefit of $1,000 for the year ended August 31, 2015 as compared to taxes on income of $4,000 for the year ended August 31, 2014, asa result of a decrease in the accrual for uncertain tax position in fiscal 2015. We had taxes on income of $4,000 for the year ended August 31, 2014 as compared to a tax benefit of $205,000 for the year ended August 31, 2013,as a result of additional accrual for uncertain tax position in fiscal 2014. Other comprehensive income A subsequent increase in the fair value of available for sale securities previously written down as impaired for the year ended August 31, 2015 of$3,000 resulted from the increase in fair value of the ordinary shares of D.N.A that we hold. Unrealized gains on available for sale securities for the year endedAugust 31, 2015 of $103,000, resulted from the increase in fair value of our D.N.A ordinary shares. A subsequent increase in the fair value of available for sale securities previously written down as impaired for the year ended August 31, 2014 of$34,000 resulted from the increase in fair value of the ordinary shares of D.N.A that we hold. Reclassification adjustments for gains included in net loss forthe year ended August 31, 2014 of $80,000, resulted from the sale of 2,625,989 of our D.N.A ordinary shares in October and November 2013 and January andMarch 2014. Unrealized gains on available for sale securities for the year ended August 31, 2014 of $194,000, resulted from the increase in fair value of ourD.N.A ordinary shares. Liquidity and Capital Resources From inception through August 31, 2015, we have incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $35,052,000. During that period we have financed ouroperations through several private placements of our common stock, as well as public offerings of our common stock in July and December 2013, inNovember 2014 and in June 2015, raising a total of $45,460,000, net of transaction costs. During that period we also received cash consideration of$1,870,000 from the exercise of warrants and options. We will seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources in the future as needed. As ofAugust 31, 2015, we had $3,213,000 of available cash, $19,945,000 of short term and long term bank deposits and $3,028,000 of marketable securities. Weanticipate that we will require approximately $11.2 million to finance our activities during the 12 months following August 31, 2015. Management continues to evaluate various financing alternatives for funding future research and development activities and general andadministrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with thoseinitiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors,existing stockholders and future public offerings. Based on our current cash resources and commitments, including cash received in public offerings in theperiod ended August 31, 2015, we believe we will be able to maintain our current planned development activities and the corresponding level ofexpenditures for at least the next 12 months and beyond. 31 As of August 31, 2015, our total assets were $17,372,000 and our total liabilities were $1,489,000. On August 31, 2015, we had a working capitalsurplus of $15,883,000 and an accumulated loss of $35,052,000. As of August 31, 2014, our total assets were $21,778,000 and our total liabilities were$973,000. On August 31, 2014, we had a working capital surplus of $20,805,000 and an accumulated loss of $27,820,000. The decrease in working capitalsurplus from August 31, 2014 to August 31, 2015 was primarily due to the purchase of long-term bank deposits that was partially offset by proceeds from ourprivate offering completed in November 2014 and our public offering completed in June 2015. During the year ended August 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,451,000 from the $1,762,000 reported as of August 31, 2014,which is due to the reasons described below. Operating activities used cash of $4,946,000 in the year ended August 31, 2015 and $4,068,000 in the year ended August 31, 2014. Cash used foroperating activities in the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 primarily consisted of net loss resulting from research and development and general andadministrative expenses, partially offset by stock based compensation adjustments. During the year ended August 31, 2015, we received $126,000 in OCS grants towards our research and development expenses as compared to$408,000 during the year ended August 31, 2014. We recognized the amount of $49,000 during the year ended August 31, 2015 as compared to $428,000 inthe year ended August 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to the timing of the grant utilization. Investing activities used cash of $3,312,000 in the year ended August 31, 2015, as compared to $13,088,000 used in investing activities in the yearended August 31, 2014. Cash used for investing activities in the year ended August 31, 2015 consisted primarily of the purchase of short-term and long-termbank deposits as well as the purchase of marketable securities, while cash used for investing activities in the years ended August 31, 2014 consisted primarilyof the purchase of short-term bank deposits. Financing activities provided cash of $9,721,000 in the year ended August 31, 2015 and $16,640,000 in the year ended August 31, 2014. Cashprovided by financing activities during both periods consisted of proceeds from our issuance of common stock, warrants and options. During fiscal 2015,1,370 options were exercised for cash and resulted in the issuance of 1,370 shares of common stock. The cash consideration received for exercise of theoptions was $8,000. During fiscal 2014, warrants were exercised for cash and resulted in the issuance of 261,665 shares of common stock and options wereexercised for cash and resulted in the issuance of 307,016 shares of common stock, 280,114 of which were exercised by our Chief Medical and TechnologyOfficer. The cash consideration received for exercise of warrants was $1,570,000 and the cash consideration received for exercise of options was $183,000. During fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, we issued a total of 28,750 shares of common stock to various third party vendors for services rendered. Theaggregate value of those shares was approximately $195,000. In fiscal 2015 we also consummated a private placement, in which we sold 696,378 shares ofcommon stock at a purchase price of $7.18 per share, for total net consideration of $5 million, and paid a finder's fee of $150,000. In December 2013, we sold1,580,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $10.00 per share, to two institutional investors in a registered direct offering, for aggregate net proceeds ofapproximately $14,887,000. The placement agent in this offering received aggregate cash compensation in the amount of approximately $815,500,including reimbursement for unaccountable expenses. In June 2015, we entered into a letter agreement, or the Engagement Letter, pursuant to which the placement agent agreed to serve as exclusiveagent, advisor or underwriter in any offering of by us occurring between June 4, 2015 and July 4, 2015. In June 2015, we entered into a Securities PurchaseAgreement, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, in a registered direct offering, or the June 2015 Offering: (1) an aggregate of 714,286 shares of our commonstock at a price of $7.50 per share to six investors and (2) at the option of each investor, or the Overallotment Right, additional shares of our common stock,or the Overallotment Shares, up to the number equal to the number of shares purchased by such Purchaser and at a price of $10.00 per Overallotment Share.The closing of the sale of the 714,286 shares of our common stock occurred on June 10, 2015. The Overallotment Right is exercisable beginning December10, 2015, and shall remain exercisable until December 10, 2016. Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the placement agent received, for its services in the June2015 Offering, a fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the June 2015 Offering and an expense allowance of 1% of the gross proceeds raised in theJune 2015 Offering, and affiliates of the placement agent received warrants to purchase 28,571 shares of our common stock, exercisable for a period of threeyears and with an exercise price of $10.00 per share. Our net proceeds from the June 2015 Offering were approximately $4,880,000 after deducting theplacement agent’s expenses and our other offering expenses. 32 In November 2014 and March, May and August 2015, we issued a total of 15,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $93,000, in the aggregate,to a certain service provider as remuneration for services rendered. In May 2014, we issued 2,252 shares of common stock, valued at $19,000, to Regals as payment of liquidated damages related to certain registrationrights contained in a 2012 securities purchase agreement. In November 2014, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an investor, pursuant to which we issued to the investor an aggregate of696,378 shares of common stock, at a price of $7.18 per share, which was equal to the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market onOctober 31, 2014, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000. Our net proceeds from the offering were approximately $4,833,000 after deducting a finder'sfee of $150,000 and our other offering expenses. The offering closed on November 28, 2014. On April 2, 2015, we entered into an at the market issuance sales agreement, or the Sales Agreement, pursuant to which we may issue and sell sharesof its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000 from time to time, at our option, through a sales agent, subject to certain termsand conditions. Any shares sold will be sold pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3. We will pay the sales agent a commission of3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sale of any shares sold through the sales agent. To date, no shares have been sold under the Sales Agreement. Contractual Obligations The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commercial commitments at August 31, 2015, and the effects suchobligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in thousands): Contractual Obligations Total Less than1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years Over 5 years Clinical research study obligations $2,478 $2, 478 $- $- $- Purchase obligations 355 355 - - - Operating lease obligations 47 38 9 - - Accrued Severance Pay, net 11 - - - 11 Total $2,891 $2,871 $9 $- $11 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of August 31, 2015, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a futurematerial effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures orcapital 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 beexpected that there will be changes in some budgetary items. Our planned expenditures for the twelve months beginning September 1, 2015 are as follows (inthousands of dollars): Category Amount Research and development, net of OCS funds $9,090 General and administrative expenses 2,060 Total $11,150 In June 2015, we initiated a Phase IIb clinical trial for our orally ingested insulin and we are conducting, or planning to conduct, further clinicalstudies, including those with regard to our oral exenatide capsule. Our ability to complete these expected activities is dependent on several major factorsincluding the ability to attract sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us. 33 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. We are exposed to a variety of risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, changes in the value of our marketablesecurities and inflation. As of August 31, 2015, we had $3.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $19.9 million in short and long term bank deposits and restricted depositsand $3 million in marketable securities. We aim to preserve our financial assets, maintain adequate liquidity and maximize return while minimizing exposure to market risks. Such policyfurther provides that we should hold most of our current assets in bank deposits. As of today, the currency of our financial assets is mainly in U.S. dollars. Marketable securities We own 20,416,289 common shares of D.N.A, which are presented in our financial statements as marketable securities. Marketable securities arepresented 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 noassurance 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 securitiesat once given the volume of securities we hold. The shares are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the shares' price is denominated in NIS. We arealso exposed to changes in the market price of D.N.A shares, as well as to exchange rates fluctuations in the NIS currency compared to the U.S. dollar. Interest Rate Risk We invest a major portion of our cash surplus in bank deposits in banks in Israel. Since the bank deposits typically carry fixed interest rates,financial income over the holding period is not sensitive to changes in interest rates, but only the fair value of these instruments. However, our interest gainsfrom future deposits may decline in the future as a result of changes in the financial markets. In any event, given the historic low levels of the interest rate, weestimate that a further decline in the interest rate we are receiving will not result in a material adverse effect to our business. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk and Inflation A significant portion of our expenditures, including salaries, clinical research expenses, consultants' fees and office expenses relate to ouroperations in Israel. The cost of those Israeli operations, as expressed in U.S. dollars, is influenced by the extent to which any increase in the rate of inflationin Israel is not offset (or is offset on a lagging basis) by a devaluation of the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar. If the U.S. dollar declines in value in relation tothe NIS, it will become more expensive for us to fund our operations in Israel. In addition, as of August 31, 2015, we own net balances in NIS ofapproximately $1,413,000. Assuming a 10% appreciation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar, we would experience exchange rate gain of approximately$128,000, while assuming a 10% devaluation of the NIS against the U.S. dollars, we would experience an exchange rate loss of approximately $157,000. The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the NIS, based on exchange rates published by the Bank of Israel, was as follows: Year Ended August 31, 2013 2014 2015 Average rate for period 3.718 3.494 3.851 Rate at period-end 3.614 3.568 3.930 We do not use any currency hedging transactions of options or forwards to decrease the risk of financial exposure from fluctuations in the exchangerate of the U.S. dollar against the NIS. 34 ITEM 8.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis This section explains the policies and decisions that shape our executive compensation program, including its specific objectives and elements, as itrelates to our “named executive officers,” or NEOs. Our NEOs for fiscal 2015 are those four individuals listed in the “Summary Compensation Table” below.The Compensation Committee believes that our executive compensation is appropriately designed to incentivize our named executive officers to work forour long-term prosperity, is reasonable in comparison with the levels of compensation provided by comparable companies, and reflects a reasonable cost. Webelieve our named executive officers are critical to the achievement of our corporate goals, through which we can drive stockholder value. The Compensation Committee of our Board is comprised solely of independent directors as defined by NASDAQ and non-employee directors asdefined by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Compensation Committee has the authority and responsibility to review and approve the compensationof our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and other executive officers. Other information concerning the structure, roles and responsibilities of ourCompensation Committee is set forth in "Board Meetings and Committees—Compensation Committee" section. Our executive compensation program and our NEOs’ compensation packages are designed around the following objectives: ●attract, hire, and retain talented and experienced executives; ●motivate, reward and retain executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success; ●focus executive behavior on achievement of our corporate objectives and strategy; and ●align the interests of management and stockholders by providing management with longer-term incentives through equity ownership. The Compensation Committee reviews the allocation of compensation components regularly to ensure alignment with strategic and operating goals,competitive market practices and legislative changes. The Compensation Committee does not apply a specific formula to determine the allocation betweencash and non-cash forms of compensation. Certain compensation components, such as base salaries, benefits and perquisites, are intended primarily to attract,hire, and retain well-qualified executives. Other compensation elements, such as long-term incentive opportunities, are designed to motivate and rewardperformance. Long-term incentives are intended to reward NEOs for our long-term performance and executing our business strategy, and to strongly alignNEOs' interests with those of stockholders. With respect to equity compensation, the Compensation Committee makes awards to executives under our Amended and Restated 2008 StockIncentive Plan, or 2008 Plan. Executive compensation is paid or granted based on such matters as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate,including our financial and operating performance and the alignment of the interests of the executive officers and our stockholders. Elements of Compensation Our executive officer compensation program is comprised of: (i) base salary or monthly compensation; (ii) discretionary bonus; (iii) long-termequity incentive compensation in the form of stock option and RSU grants; and (iv) benefits and perquisites. 40 In establishing overall executive compensation levels and making specific compensation decisions for our NEOs in fiscal 2015, the CompensationCommittee considered a number of criteria, including the executive's position, scope of responsibilities, prior base salary and annual incentive awards andexpected contribution. Generally, our Compensation Committee reviews and, as appropriate, approves compensation arrangements for the NEOs from time to time but notless than once a year. The Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the CEO's recommendations for executive compensation of the other threeNEOs. The CEO generally presents these recommendations at the time of our Compensation Committee's review of executive compensation arrangements. Base Salary The Compensation Committee performs a review of base salaries and monthly compensation for our NEOs from time to time as appropriate. Indetermining salaries, the Compensation Committee members also take into consideration independent third party market data, such as compensation surveysto industry, individual experience and performance and contribution to our clinical, regulatory, commercial and operational performance. None of the factorsabove has a dominant weight in determining the compensation of our named executive officers, and our Compensation Committee considers the factors as awhole when considering such compensation. In addition, our Compensation Committee uses comparative data regarding compensation paid by peercompanies in order to obtain a general understanding of current trends in compensation practices and ranges of amounts being awarded by other publiccompanies, and not as part of an analysis or a formula. In fiscal 2014, for example, we conducted an analysis of salaries and monthly compensation received by our NEOs’ respective counterparts incompanies in the biotechnology industry and other comparable companies in Israel and outside of Israel. During fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committeereceived consulting services from Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited with regard to managementcompensation. The Committee engaged the consultant solely to collect and analyze data regarding management compensation at other companiescomparable to the Company. The consultant collected data from companies in the biomed sector that are publicly traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market, inthe biomed sector and having similar (within 50%) market cap, total assets, total revenue, net income, and/or location of operations (in Israel) to theCompany. The comparable companies that were chosen by the consultants were Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.; Columbia Laboratories Inc.; Enxo Biochem, Inc.;Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Inc.; Pluristem Therapeutics Inc.; Rexhan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.; Stemline Therapeutics, Inc.; andSynergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. The Committee looked at the fixed and variable compensation of each of the comparable NEOs and for directors. TheCommittee did not receive any executive compensation consulting services in fiscal 2015. We believe that a competitive base salary and monthly compensation is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attractand retain talented and experienced executives. We also believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance.Base salary and monthly compensation are established in part based on the individual experience, skills and expected contributions to our performance, aswell as such executive’s performance during the prior year. Compensation adjustments are made occasionally based on changes in an executive's level ofresponsibility, company progress or on changed local and specific executive employment market conditions. In fiscal 2015, following two years in which the base salaries of our NEOs were not changed, our Compensation Committee decided to increase ourNEOs’ base salaries by six percent, as the members of our Compensation Committee deemed this to be a reasonable rate in the pharmaceuticals industry basedon their experience. In fiscal 2014, our NEOs' salaries and monthly compensation did not change from the previous year as we believe they fell within therange of salaries received by our NEOs’ respective counterparts in companies in the biotechnology industry and other comparable companies in Israel. 41 Performance Based Bonus Our NEOs are eligible to receive discretionary annual bonuses based upon performance. The amount of annual bonus to our NEOs is based onvarious factors, including, among others, the achievement of scientific and business goals and our financial and operational performance. The committeetakes into account the overall performance of the individuals as well as the overall performance of the Company over the period being reviewed andrecommendation of management. We do not have a written bonus plan setting forth these criteria in advance. The overall payment is also based on historiccompensation of the NEOs. We believe that annual bonuses payable based on the achievement of short-term corporate goals incentivize our NEOs to create stockholder valueand attain short-term performance objectives. Long-term Equity Incentive Compensation Long-term incentive compensation allows the NEOs to share in any appreciation in the value of our common stock. The Compensation Committeebelieves that stock participation aligns executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders. The amounts of the awards are designed to reward pastperformance and create incentives to meet long-term objectives. Awards are made at a level expected to be competitive within the biotechnology industry, aswell as with Israeli-based companies. We do not have a formula relating to, and did not conduct any analysis of, the level of awards that is competitivewithin the biotechnology industry and Israeli-based companies. Awards are made on a discretionary basis and not pursuant to specific criteria set out inadvance. In determining the amount of each grant, the Compensation Committee also takes into account the number of shares held by the executive prior tothe grant. The vesting schedule for NEOs is based on monthly installments for periods of no longer than three years. The Compensation Committee believesthat time-based vesting encourages recipients to build stockholder value over a long period of time. RSU awards provide our NEOs with the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a par value of $0.012, subject to continued employmentwith our company. In November 2014, the Compensation Committee awarded RSUs for the first time and again awarded RSUs in February 2015. We choseto grant RSU awards and not options because RSU awards, once vested, always have an immediate financial value to the holder thereof, unlike options wherethe exercise price might be above the current market price of the shares and therefore not have any intrinsic value to the holder thereof. In addition, becausevested RSU awards always have financial value, as opposed to options, we were able to limit the number of securities issued to our NEOs and otheremployees, directors and consultants. RSUs generally vest over a period of no longer than two years. The Compensation Committee believes that time-basedvesting encourages recipients to build stockholder value over a long period of time. Benefits and Perquisites Generally, benefits available to NEOs are available to all employees on similar terms and include welfare benefits, paid time-off, life and disabilityinsurance and other customary or mandatory social benefits in Israel. We provide our NEOs with a phone and a company car which are customary benefits inIsrael to managers and officers. We do not believe that the benefits and perquisites described above deviate materially from the customary practice for compensation of executiveofficers by other companies similar in size and stage of development in Israel. These benefits represent a relatively small portion of the executive officers'total compensation. Say-on-Pay Vote Our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation program at our at our annual meeting of our stockholders held on July23, 2014, or the 2014 Annual Meeting. We did not seek or receive any specific feedback from our stockholders concerning our executive compensationprogram during the past fiscal year.

F - 5 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSU.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) 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 andexploration of mineral properties. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit MedicalServices and Development Ltd (“Hadasit”) to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin capsule tobe used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd., which is engaged inresearch and development. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Group” refers to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc.and its Israeli subsidiary, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”). On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware.On July 3, 2015, the Company and the Subsidiary entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LoI”) with SinopharmCapital Management Co. Ltd. and Hefei Life Science & Technology Park Investments and Development Co., Ltd.(“HLST” and together - “Sinopharm-HLST”), according to which, the Company will enter into a Stock PurchaseAgreement with Sinopharm-HLST pursuant to which Sinopharm-HLST will agree to buy and the Company will agree tosell an aggregate of 1,155,367 shares of its common stock, or the Shares, at a price per Share of approximately $10.39 (and$12,000 in total), and in addition, the Subsidiary will grant a commercialization license in the territory of PeoplesRepublic of China (the “Territory”) related to oral insulin, for an aggregate of approximately $38,000, of which $18,000would be paid up front, and $20,000 would be payable upon achievement of a certain milestone, and royalties of 10% onnet sales of the related commercialized products to be sold by Sinopharm-HLST in the Territory.In July 2015, according to the LoI, Sinopharm-HLST paid the Subsidiary a non-refundable amount of $500 as a no-shopfee, and the Company and the Subsidiary committed to negotiate exclusively with Sinopharm-HLST regarding an out-licensing and commercialization transaction in the Territory. In the event that the parties enter into a license agreement,the foregoing amount will be deducted from the initial payment due by Sinopharm-HLST to the Subsidiary. The no-shopfee is presented as an advance on account of the license agreement among current liabilities, and is not to be carried toincome prior to the recognition of such additional future payments from entering the license agreement. The Companywill evaluate the accounting treatment of the agreement once the agreement is signed and agreed by the parties. See alsonote 14 as to the amendment to the LoI signed in October 2015. F - 6 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)U.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): 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 oforally 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 dependentupon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to selling its productswithin the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals must be obtained to sell its products internationally. There canbe no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantialamount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. TheCompany also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of itsproduct candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directlydependent on the Company’s ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approvalin the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities. Based on its current cash resources and commitments, and cash received in private and public offerings in the years endedAugust 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activitiesand the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months and beyond after the date that the financialstatements are issued, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. If thereare unexpected increases in general and administrative expenses or research and development expenses, the Companymay need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months. F - 7 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)U.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): b.Accounting principles The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the UnitedStates of America (“U.S. GAAP”). c.Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financialstatements 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 basedcompensation. d.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 aretranslated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For foreigntransactions 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 asdepreciation) - historical exchange rates. The resulting transaction gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, asappropriate. e.Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiary. All inter-company transactions andbalances have been eliminated in consolidation. F - 8 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)U.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): f.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 thefinancial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using thetax 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. TheCompany has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. Regarding the Subsidiary, the recognition is prohibited for deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between thefinancial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local currency into dollars using historical exchangerates, and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the abovementioned differences werenot 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 deferredtaxes, 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 taxposition for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position willbe sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realizedupon ultimate settlement. Such liabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within twelve monthsfrom the balance sheet date. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within incometax expenses. g.Research and development, net Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, includingthe cost of salaries, employee benefits, the cost of supplies, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services relatedto the Company’s clinical trials, clinical trial expenses and the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research and preclinicaldevelopment. 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-partycontractors. The Company outsources a substantial portion of its clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as ContractResearch Organizations, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist the Company with theexecution of its clinical studies. For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, clinical trial costs are expensed immediately. Grants received from the Office of Chief Scientist (“OCS”) and from the Bio-Jerusalem fund (“Bio-Jerusalem”) are recognized as grantincome when the grants become receivable, provided there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditionsattached to the grant and there is reasonable assurance the grant will be received. The grants are deducted from the related research anddevelopment expenses as the costs are incurred and are presented in R&D expenses, net. See also notes 8(i) and 8(j). F - 9 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)U.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): h.Cash equivalents The Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term deposits with original maturities of threemonths or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts ofcash, to be cash equivalents. i.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 ofshares of common stock outstanding. Outstanding stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted lossper share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The total number of common stock options, warrants andrestricted stock units excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss was 2,953,962 for the year ended August 31, 2015 (1,924,491 and2,343,972 for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively).j.Stock based compensation Equity awards granted to employees are accounted for using the grant date fair value method. The fair value of share based paymenttransactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The expected service period isestimated using the simplified method due to insufficient specific historical information of employees' exercise behavior. The forfeituresare estimated based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions. The Company elected to recognize compensation cost foran award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method based on the multiple-optionaward approach. When stock options are granted as consideration for services provided by consultants and other non-employees, thetransaction is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever ismore reliably measurable. The fair value of the options granted is measured on a final basis at the end of the related service period and isrecognized over the related service period using the straight-line method. F - 10 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)U.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):k.Fair value measurement: 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 betweenmarket participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidanceestablishes 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 valuehierarchy 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 orliability, 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 toLevel 3 inputs. As of August 31, 2015, 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 ofunobservable inputs to the extent possible. As of August 31, 2015, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, prepaid expenses and other current assetsand accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. As of August 31, 2015, the carrying amount of long term deposits approximates their fair values due to the stated interest rates whichapproximate market rates. The amounts funded in respect of employee rights are stated at cash surrender value which approximates its fair value. l.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 separatecomponent of other comprehensive income in equity until realized. Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary arecharged to statement of operations as an impairment charge and are included in the consolidated statement of operations underimpairment of available-for-sale securities. The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including the duration and extent towhich fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment. Realized gains and losses on sales of thesecurities are included in the consolidated statement of operations as financial income or expenses. F - 11 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) U.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): 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 tomaturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts tomaturity. On a continuous basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s marketable securities maybe impaired, which includes reviewing the underlying cause of any decline in value and the estimated recovery period, as well as theseverity and duration of the decline. In the Company’s evaluation, the Company considers its ability and intent to hold these investmentsfor a reasonable period of time sufficient for the Company to recover its cost basis. A marketable security is impaired if the fair value ofthe security is less than the carrying value of the security and such difference is deemed to be other-than temporary. To the extentimpairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the security over the estimated fair value inthe security. m.Concentration of credit risks Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short and long term depositsand marketable securities which are deposited in major financial institutions. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respectof these balances is remote. n.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: % Computers and peripheral equipment 33 Office furniture and equipment 15-33 Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are charged to statementof operations as an impairment charge and are included in the consolidated statement of operations under impairment of available-for-sale securities. 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 ismeasured at the quoted prices of the securities on the measurement date. During the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, the Subsidiary sold in aggregate 2,625,989 and 5,250,000 of the D.N.A ordinaryshares for a total of $138 and $170, respectively. In March 2013 the Company sold 1,750,000 of the D.N.A ordinary shares for $56.During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Group did not sell any of the D.N.A ordinary shares.

The Warrants were granted for five years at an initial exercise price of $6.00 pershare. The Warrants included a full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the second year anniversary date after issuing the warrant, subject tocertain limitations. In the event the Company was to issue or sell any common stock for a consideration per share lower than the exercise pricethen 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 shareof 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 shareconsideration 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 the agreement with D.N.A from October 2012, as described in note 9c, the warrant that wasissued 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 itsexercise was increased to 290,459.

The fair value of the warrants was determined by using a Monte Carlo type model based on the risk neutral approach. The significantunobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the future expected issue dates. Significant delay in this input would result in a higherfair value measurement. In addition to the new warrants, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and director (the “CEO”), in his personal capacity as ashareholder of the Company, undertook and agreed that following the execution and delivery of the Agreement, in the event that an adjustmentpursuant to the anti-dilution protection of any of the Warrants, as amended, would have been triggered and the number of shares of common stockof the Company that the Leading Investor would have been able to purchase under the Warrants would have increased by an aggregate number inexcess of 137,311 shares, then the Leading Investor shall have the right to purchase from the CEO such number of shares of common stock of theCompany 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, basedon the Monte Carlo type model and was recognized as an expense against the stockholders equity. Following the removal of the anti-dilution protection, the Warrants were no longer classified as liabilities. The Company recognized a financialexpense in the amount of $297 during the three months ended November 30, 2012.
