NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

General:

Oramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On March 8, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd (“Hadasit”) (the “First Agreement”) to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin pill to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. On January 7, 2009, the Company entered into a second agreement with Hadasit (the “Second Agreement”) to provide for the closing referenced in the First Agreement. In the Second Agreement, Hadasit confirms that it has conveyed, transferred and assigned all of its ownership rights in the patents acquired under the First Agreement and certain other patents filed by the Company after the First Agreement as a result of the collaboration between the Company and Hadasit. Hadasit further acknowledges that the 4,141,532 shares of common stock issued to Hadasit by the Company in connection with the First Agreement constitute complete compensation for the Patents.

The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.

On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd. ("the Subsidiary"), which is engaged in research and development.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of February 28, 2009 and for the six and three months then ended, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six and three months ended February 28, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2009.

Going concern considerations

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has net losses for the period from inception (April 12, 2002) through February 28, 2009 of $9,094,502, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its requirements in the twelve months following March 1, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.

ORAMED PHARMACEUTICULS INC.

(A development stage company)

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

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

Share-based payment:

The Company implements Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”). FAS 123(R) requires awards classified as equity awards be accounted for using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company recognizes compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method of amortization under FAS 123(R) over the requisite service period for the entire awards.

On March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). SAB 107 provides supplemental implementation guidance on FAS 123(R), including guidance on valuation methods, inventory capitalization of share-based compensation cost, income statement effects, disclosures and other issues. SAB 107 requires share-based payment to be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation. The company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of FAS 123(R).

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to third party service providers (non-employees) in accordance with the fair value based on an option-pricing model, pursuant to the guidance in EITF 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”. The fair value of the options granted is revalued over the related service periods and recognized over the vesting period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-01, "Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements" ("EITF 07-01"). EITF 07-01 defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. EITF 07-01 also establishes the appropriate income statement presentation and classification for joint operating activities and payments between participants, as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures related to these arrangements. EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (September 1, 2009, for the Company). EITF 07-01 shall be applied using a modified version of retrospective transition for those arrangements in place at the effective date. An entity should report the effects of applying EITF 07-01 as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior periods presented for all arrangements existing as of the effective date, unless it is impracticable to apply the effects of the change retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact that EITF 07-01 may have on its results of operations and financial position.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets ("FSP FAS 142-3"). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS 141(R), and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 are effective for the fiscal year beginning September 1, 2009; early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FSP FAS 142-3.

NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS:

On May 1, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a third party (“the Consultant”) for a period of twelve months, pursuant to which the Consultant will assist the Company’s efforts to complete the FDA approval process for its oral insulin capsule. On October 3, 2008, the Company and the Consultant agreed to amend the agreement effective July 1, 2008. The Consultant is entitled to a fixed monthly fee of $16,666 (for the period from May 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008 the monthly fee was $8,333) and reimbursement of pre-approved out of pocket expenses.

On September 8, 2008, the Company entered into Clinical Research agreement with ETI Karle Clinical Pvt. Ltd. (“ETI”), pursuant to the agreement ETI will be conducting clinical trials for the Company in India. In consideration for the services provided under the agreement, ETI will be entitled to estimated cash compensation of $227,000.

NOTE 3 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:

The following are stock issued for services, stock options and warrants transactions made during the six months ended February 28, 2009:

On October 30, 2006 the Company entered into a Clinical Trial Manufacturing Agreement with Swiss Caps AG (“Swiss”), pursuant to which Swiss would manufacture and deliver the oral insulin capsule developed by the Company. In consideration for the services being provided to the Company by Swiss, the Company agreed to pay certain predetermined amounts which are to be paid in common stock of the Company. The number of shares to be issued is based on the invoice received from Swiss, and the stock market price 10 days after the invoice was issued. The Company accounted for the transaction with Swiss according to FAS 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity".

On October 17, 2008, the Company issued 203,904 shares of its common stock to Swiss as remuneration for the services provided, in the amount of $152,928.

As of February 28, 2009 Swiss was entitled to receive 365,300 shares of the Company for services provided, in the amount of $109,590.

On October 12, 2008, 828,000 options were granted to an employee of our Subsidiary, at an exercise price of $0.47 per share (equivalent to the traded market price on the date of grant). The options vest in three equal annual instalments commencing on November 1, 2009 and expire on October 11, 2018. The fair value of these options on the date of grant was $330,699, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and was based on the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 113%; risk-free interest rates of 3.27%; and the remaining contractual life of 6.00 years.

NOTE 3 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (continued):

The options vest in two equal annual instalments commencing on May 1, 2009 and expire on October 11, 2018. The fair value of these options on the date of grant was $21,988, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and was based on the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 113%; risk-free interest rates of 2.77%; and the remaining contractual life of 5.67 years.

On January 11, 2009, an aggregate of 750,000 options were granted to two Board of Directors members and an employee of our Subsidiary, at an exercise price of $0.43 per share (equivalent to the traded market price on the date of grant). The options vest in three equal annual instalments commencing on January 1, 2010 and expire on January 10, 2019. The fair value of these options on the date of grant was $285,028, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and was based on the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 126%; risk-free interest rates of 1.51%; and the remaining contractual life of 6.00 years.

On January 11, 2009, an aggregate of 300,000 options were granted to three Scientific Advisory Board members, at an exercise price of $0.76 per share (higher than the traded market price on the date of grant). The options vest in four equal quarterly instalments commencing on April 1, 2009 and expire on January 10, 2019. The fair value of these options as of February 28, 2009, was $69,874, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and was based on the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 127%; risk-free interest rates of 3.02%; and the remaining contractual life of 9.87 years.

The Company recognized $268,038 and 166,391 of expense during the six and three months ended February 28, 2009, respectively, related to options granted, of which $146,608 and $71,201, for the six and three months ended February 28, 2009, respectively, relates to options granted in prior years.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE

On September 1, 2008, the Company adopted the methods of fair value as described in SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in SFAS No. 157, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

ORAMED PHARMACEUTICULS INC.

(A development stage company)

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE (continued)

Level 1 :

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2:

Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition as the Company does not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the requirements of SFAS 157.

Overview

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

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

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

On January 7, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit (the “Second Agreement”) to provide for the closing referenced in the First Agreement. In the Second Agreement, Hadasit confirms that it has conveyed, transferred and assigned all of its ownership rights in the patents acquired under the First Agreement and certain other patents filed by the Company after the First Agreement as a result of the collaboration between the Company and Hadasit (the “Patents”). Hadasit further acknowledges that the 4,141,532 shares of common stock issued to Hadasit by the Company in connection with the First Agreement constitute complete compensation for the Patents.

Plan of Operation

Short Term Business Strategy

We plan to conduct further research and development on the technology covered by the patent application "Methods and Composition for Oral Administration of Proteins", which we acquired from Hadasit, as well as the other patents we have filed since. Through our research and development efforts, we are seeking to develop an oral dosage form that will withstand the harsh chemical environment of the stomach or intestines and will be effective in delivering active insulin for the treatment of diabetes. The enzymes and vehicles that are added to the insulin in the formulation process must not modify the insulin chemically or biologically and the dosage form must be safe to ingest. We plan to continue to conduct clinical trials to show the effectiveness of our technology. We intend to conduct the clinical trials necessary to file an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Additional clinical trials are planned in other countries such as Israel, South Africa and India, in order to substantiate our results, as well as for purposes of making future filings for drug approval in these countries. We also plan to conduct further research and development by deploying our proprietary drug delivery technology for the delivery of other polypeptides in addition to insulin, and to develop other innovative pharmaceutical products, including an insulin suppository and use of rectal application for delivery of other polypeptides.

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

On November 15, 2007, we successfully completed animal studies in preparation for the Phase 1B clinical trial of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801). On January 22, 2008, we commenced the non-FDA approved Phase 1B clinical trials with our oral insulin capsule in healthy human volunteers with the intent of dose optimization. On March 11, 2008, we successfully completed our Phase 1B clinical trials.

On April 13, 2008, we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 2A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) in Type II diabetic volunteers at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. On August 6, 2008, we announced the successful results of this trial.

During July 2008, we were granted approval by the Institutional Review Board Committee of Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem to conduct a non-FDA approved Phase 2A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) on Type I diabetic volunteers. On September 24, 2008, we announced the beginning of this trail. The results of the trial have not yet been published.

We plan to conduct two additional non-FDA approved Phase 2B study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our oral insulin capsule (ORMD 0801) on Type II diabetic volunteers, in South Africa and India. The trials are scheduled to commence during 2009.

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

On January 30, 2008, we entered into a master service agreement with OnQ Consulting, a clinical research organization located in Johannesburg, South Africa, to conduct non-FDA approved clinical trials for the rectal application of insulin. The trials are expected to begin during the coming months.

On October 23, 2008, we commenced a non-FDA approved Phase 1A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our insulin suppository (ORMD 0802) on healthy volunteers, in South Africa. On February 4, 2009, we announced the completion of this study.

GLP1 Analog: On September 16, 2008, we announced the launch of pre-clinical trials of ORMD 0901, a GLP1-analog. The pre-clinical trials include a dog trial which suggests that the GLP-1analog exenatide-4, when combined with Oramed’s absorption promoters, is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and retains its biological activity.

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

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

Long Term Business Strategy

If our oral insulin capsule or other drug delivery solutions show significant promise in clinical trials, we plan to ultimately seek a strategic commercial partner, or partners, with extensive experience in the development, commercialization, and marketing of insulin applications and/or other orally digestible drugs. We anticipate such partner or partners would be responsible for, or substantially support, late stage clinical trials (Phase III) to ensure regulatory approvals and registrations in the appropriate markets in a timely manner. We further anticipate that such partner, or partners, would also be responsible for sales and marketing of our oral insulin capsule in these markets. Such planned strategic partnership, or partnerships, may provide a marketing and sales infrastructure for our products as well as financial and operational support for global clinical trials, post marketing studies, label expansions and other regulatory requirements concerning future clinical development in the United States and elsewhere. Any future strategic partner, or partners, may also provide capital and expertise that would enable the partnership to develop new oral dosage form for other polypeptides. Under certain circumstances, we may determine to develop one or more of our oral dosage form on our own, either world-wide or in select territories.

Other Planned Strategic Activities

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

Results of Operations

Going concern assumption

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have net losses for the period from inception (April 12, 2002) through February 28, 2009 of $9,094,502, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities. Based upon our existing spending commitments, estimated at $5.3 million for the twelve months following March 1, 2009, and our cash availability, we do not have sufficient cash resources to meet our liquidity requirements through February 28, 2010. The ongoing global economic and credit crisis makes it more difficult for the Company to raise financing. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives as we will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.

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

Critical accounting policies

Valuation of options and warrants: We have granted options to purchase shares of our common stock to employees and consultants and issued warrants in connection with fundraising.

Effective March 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”). FAS 123(R) requires that awards classified as equity awards be accounted for using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimated forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions.

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). SAB 107 provides supplemental implementation guidance on FAS 123(R), including guidance on valuation methods, inventory capitalization of share-based compensation cost, income statement effects, disclosures and other issues. SAB 107 requires share-based payment to be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of FAS 123(R).

The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method based on multiple option award approach.

The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective application transition method, as permitted by FAS 123(R). Under such transition method, upon the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company’s financial statements for periods prior to the effective date of the Statement are not restated.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”) relating to the use of a “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options. SAB 107 previously allowed the use of the simplified method until December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows, under certain circumstances, to continue to accept the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 110 in its financial statements.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to third party service providers (non-employees) in accordance with the fair value based on an option-pricing model or, when more reliability is based on the fair value of the services received, pursuant to the guidance in EITF 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”. The fair value of the options granted is revalued over the related service periods and recognized using the accelerated method.

Taxes on income: Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.

Regarding Oramed, Ltd., paragraph 9(f) of FAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, prohibits the recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local currency into dollars using historical exchange rates, and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the abovementioned differences were not reflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

As of September 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured and derecognized in financial statements, requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax positions, specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified on the balance sheet, and provides transition and interim-period guidance, among other provisions. On May 2, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48-1” (“FSP FIN 48-1”). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance regarding how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits.

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

Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. The Company outsources a substantial portion of its clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as contract research organizations, independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist the Company with the execution of its clinical studies. For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, certain clinical trial costs are expensed immediately, while others are expensed over time based on the expected total number of patients in the trial, the rate at which patients enter the trial, and the period over which clinical investigators or contract research organizations are expected to provide services.

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

The following table summarizes certain statements of operations data for the Company for the six month periods ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008:

	Six months ended						Three months ended
Operating Data:	February 28, 2009			February 29, 2008			February 28, 2009		February 29, 2008

Research and development costs	$	1,074,369		$	191,814		$	255,689	$	96,140

Financial (income) expense, net		(2,221	)		(36,710	)		11,774		(28,242	)
Net loss for the period		1,846,298		$	689,357		$	658,252	$	335,855

Loss per common share – basic and diluted	$	0.03		$	0.01		$	0.01	$	0.01
Weighted average common shares outstanding		56,416,080			46,021,061			56,469,027		46,034,804

Research and development costs

Research and development expenses are the costs incurred in the process of our pre-clinical and our clinical trials. Clinical trial and pre-clinical expenses include regulatory and scientific consultants compensation and fees, research expenses, purchase of materials, cost of manufacturing of the oral insulin capsules, payments for patient recruitment and treatment, costs related to the maintenance of our registered patents, costs related to the filings of patent applications, as well as salaries and related expenses of research and development staff.

During the six months ended February 28, 2009, research and development expenses totaled $1,074,369, compared to $191,814 for the six months ended February 29, 2008. The increase is mainly attributable to increased purchase of materials, clinical trials activities and patent related costs. The research and development costs include stock based compensation costs, which during the six months ended February 28, 2009 totaled $90,941, as compared to $2,171 during the six months ended February 29, 2008.

The increase in research and development expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2009, as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2008, is attributable to the same reasons mentioned above.

General and administrative expenses

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

For the six months ended February 28, 2009, general and administrative expenses totaled $774,150, compared to $534,253 for the six months ended February 29, 2008. Costs incurred related to general and administrative activities during the six months ended February 28, 2009 reflect an increase of payroll and related expenses, professional, legal and consulting expenses and an increase in general expenses such as office and maintenance expenses. During the six months ended February 28, 2009, as part of our general and administrative expenses, we incurred $177,097 related to stock options granted to employees and consultants, as compared to $123,860 during the six months ended February 29, 2008.

The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2009, as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2008, is attributable to the same reasons mentioned above.

Financial income/expense, net

During the six months ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we generated interest income on available cash and cash equivalents balance, which were offset by bank charges as well as a devaluation of assets denominated in New Israeli Shekel (NIS), due to the devaluation of the NIS as compared to the US$.

The decrease in the interest income for the six and three months period ending February 28, 2009, as compared with the corresponding periods in the preceding year, is attributable to the decrease in interest rates in both the United States and the state of Israel, due to the current global financial crisis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception through February 28, 2009, we incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $9,094,502. We have financed our operations through the private placements of equity and debt financing. Since inception through February 28, 2009, we raised a total of $8,308,785, net of transaction costs, through private placements of equity and debt financing. We anticipate that we will obtain additional financing through similar sources. As of February 28, 2009, we had $3,437,869 of available cash. The Company anticipates it will require approximately $5.3 million to finance its activities during the twelve months following March 1, 2009.

Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives, as we will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.

Our financing activities during the six months ended February 28, 2009 include the following:

On October 17, 2008, Oramed issued 203,904 shares of common stock valued at $152,928 to a third party, for services rendered in the prior year.

Employee's and Consultant’s Stock Options and Warrants

Employee and consultant stock options grants and warrant issuance activities for the six months ending February 28, 2009 include the following:

On October 12, 2008, we granted options under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase up to 828,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.47 to Chaime Orlev our Chief Financial Officer.

On October 12, 2008, we granted options under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase up to 56,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.47 to an employee of our subsidiary.

On January 11, 2009, we granted options under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.76 to each of Dr. Nir Barzilai, Prof. Ele Ferrannini and Dr. Derek LeRoith, three members of our Scientific Advisory Board.

On January 11, 2009, we granted options under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.43 to each of Leonard Sank and Dr. Harold Jacob, two members of our Board of Directors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Planned Expenditures

The estimated expenses referenced herein are in accordance with our business plan. Since our technology is still in the development stage, it can be expected that there will be changes in some budgetary items. Our planned expenditures for the twelve months beginning December 1, 2008 are as follows:

Operating Data:	Amount

Research and development costs	$	3,738,000
General and administrative expenses		1,574,000
Financial income, net		(60,000	)
Taxes on income		40,000
Total	$	5,292,000

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

Employment and Consulting Agreements

On May 1, 2008, we entered into a consulting agreement with a Dr. Ehud Arbit for a period of twelve months, pursuant to which Dr. Arbit will assist our efforts to complete the FDA approval process for its oral insulin capsule. Dr. Arbit is entitled to a fixed monthly fee of $8,333 effective from May 1, 2008, and reimbursement of pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses. On October 3, 2008, we amended the consulting agreement with Dr. Arbit. Pursuant to the amendment, Dr. Arbit will perform his work under the contract on a full-time basis and his compensation will be $16,666 per month, effective as of July 1, 2008.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4T - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2009. Based on such review, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have determined that in light of their conclusion with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over our financial reporting as of such date, the weaknesses in controls and procedures described in our Form 10-KSB filed on November 26, 2008 continued this quarter and that the company did not have in place effective controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

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

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

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

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

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2009 based on the framework for Internal Control-Integrated Framework set forth by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Due to the inherent limitations of our company, derived from our small size and the limited number of employees, management evaluation concluded that there is a material weakness with respect to segregation of duties that may not provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of internal control over financial reporting and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Specifically, our CFO serves as our only qualified internal accounting and financial reporting personnel and as such performs all accounting and financial reporting functions without the benefit of independent checks, confirmations or backup other than bookkeeping functions performed by an outside accounting firm. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that there is no reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of February 28, 2009.

As previously reported in our Form 10-KSB filed on November 26, 2008, during the quarter ended February 28, 2009, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has started an extensive process of documenting all major procedures related to the financial reporting, in order to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting in order to reasonably ensure that reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements.

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

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation thereof that occurred during the quarter ended February 28, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
