MEDGENICS, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands

NOTE 1:-
GENERAL

 
a.
Medgenics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in January 2000 in Delaware. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Medgenics Medical Israel Ltd. (formerly Biogenics Ltd.) (the “Subsidiary”), which was incorporated in Israel in March 2000. The Company and the Subsidiary are engaged in the research and development of products in the field of biotechnology and associated medical equipment and are thus considered development stage companies as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic number 915, “Development Stage Entities” (“ASC 915”) (originally issued as “FAS 7”).

On December 4, 2007 the Company’s Common stock was admitted for trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

 On April 13, 2011 (the "closing date"), the Company completed an Initial Public Offering of its Common stock on the NYSE Amex (the “IPO”), raising $10,389 in net proceeds (see Note 3(b)6).
 
On the closing date of the IPO, $570 of 2009 Debentures and $4,000 of 2010 Debentures were automatically converted into Common stock (see Note 3(b)7).

According to ASC 815-15, prior to the consummation of the Company’s IPO, the Company classified the $570 in principal value of convertible debentures issued in 2009 (the “2009 Debentures”) and the $4,000 in principal value of convertible debentures issued in 2010 (the “2010 Debentures”) as a liability and measured the 2009 Debentures and 2010 Debentures entirely at fair value at each reporting date. On the closing date of the IPO and upon the automatic conversion of the 2009 Debentures and 2010 Debentures into Common stock, the Company classified this liability as additional paid in capital.

In addition, the exercise price of certain warrants which were initially issued with round-down protection mechanisms was adjusted based upon the public offering price of the shares of Common stock sold in the IPO.

The Company and the Subsidiary are in the development stage. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a loss during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 of $2,661 and, had a stockholders’ equity and working capital balance of $7,314 and $9,001, respectively, as of June 30, 2011. The Company and the Subsidiary have not yet generated revenues from product sales. The Company has begun generating income from partnering on development programs and expects to continue to expand its partnering activity. Management’s plans also include seeking additional investments and commercial agreements to continue the operations of the Company and the Subsidiary.

However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise the necessary capital and/or reach such commercial agreements to continue its planned research and development activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments with respect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their classification that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On October 22, 2009 (“Effective Date”) the Company signed a preclinical development and option agreement which was amended in December 2009 (the “Agreement”), with a major international healthcare company (the “Healthcare company”) that is a market leader in the field of hemophilia. The Agreement included funding for preclinical development of the Company’s Biopump protein technology to produce and deliver the clotting protein Factor VIII (“FVIII”) for the sustained treatment of hemophilia.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company was entitled to receive up to $4,100 to work exclusively with the Healthcare company for one year ended October 22, 2010 (“Standstill period”) to develop a Biopump to test the feasibility of continuous production and delivery of this clotting protein.

The Company recognized income in its Statements of Operations based on hours incurred assigned to the project. The excess of the recognized amount received from the Healthcare company over the amount of research and development expenses incurred during the period for the Agreement is recognized as other income within operating income.

If the two parties choose not to proceed to a full commercial agreement, the Company will receive all rights to the jointly developed intellectual property and will pay royalties to the Healthcare company at the rates between 5% and 10% of any future income arising from such intellectual property up to a maximum of ten times the total funds paid by the Healthcare company to the Company.

The Company estimated the value of the option to negotiate a future definitive agreement for the continuation of the development or for a sale, license or other transfer of the FVIII Biopump technology as immaterial.

Through December 31, 2010, payments totaling $3,590 were received from the Healthcare company.  Additional amount of $306 was received in February 2011.

As of October 22, 2010, the Company and the Healthcare company agreed to a 6-month extension of the Agreement. During the extension period, the Company assumed the funding responsibilities. During the original term of the agreement and the extension period, the Healthcare company had the exclusive option to negotiate a definitive agreement regarding a transaction related to the FVIII Biopump technology taking into account the relative contributions of the parties, upon payment to the Company of a $2,500 option fee.  In July 2011, the Company and the Healthcare company agreed on an additional extension of the Agreement.  Under the extension, confirmatory studies will be conducted implanting Factor VIII Biopumps in mice.  The Healthcare company will bear the costs of these studies.  During the extended agreement, which will expire no later than September 30, 2011, the Healthcare company has the opportunity to exercise the aforementioned option to negotiate exclusively with the Company regarding a definitive agreement.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Medgenics, Inc., a development stage company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Medgenics’s Registration Statement (File No: 333-170425). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Registration Statement (File No: 333-170425) have been omitted.

Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement” (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This guidance amends the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements and includes the following provisions: application of the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise, introduction of an option to measure groups of offsetting assets and liabilities on a net basis, incorporation of certain premiums and discounts in fair value measurements, and the measurement of fair value of certain instruments classified in stockholders’ equity. In addition, the amended guidance includes several new fair value disclosure requirements, including, among other things, information about valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements and a narrative description of Level 3 measurements’ sensitivity to changes in unobservable inputs. The guidance becomes effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The Company expects that adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income” (topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This amended guidance eliminates the option for reporting entities to present components of other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, this amended guidance now requires reporting entities to present all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The Company expects that adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 4:-
RESTATEMENT

In 2010, the Company noted that in connection with certain warrants (the “Warrants”) issued to investors through the years 2006 and 2007 in the event of equity issuance below exercise price of the Warrants the investors shall be extended full-ratchet anti-dilution protection on the exercise price of the Warrants. According to ASC 815-40-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”, such Warrants should be classified as a liability and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. ASC 815-40-15 became effective on January 1, 2009. Therefore, the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle should have been recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of the appropriate component of equity. The cumulative-effect adjustment is the difference between the amounts recognized in the statement of financial position before initial application of this guidance and the amounts recognized in the statement of financial position at initial application of this guidance.  The fair value of the Warrants at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010 amounted to $3,373 and $2,430, respectively.
Based on these facts, the Company has restated the June 30, 2010 consolidated balance sheet and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period then ended within these financial statements, as follows:

Overview
 
We are an autologous protein-therapeutics medical technology company, having developed our Biopump Platform Technology to provide sustained protein therapy to potentially treat a range of chronic diseases and conditions.
 
Since our inception on January 27, 2000, we have focused our efforts on research and development and clinical trials and have received no revenue from product sales. We have funded our operations principally through equity and debt financings, participation from the Office of the Chief Scientist (“OCS”) in Israel and a collaborative agreement. Our operations to date have been primarily limited to organizing and staffing our company, developing the Biopump Platform Technology and its applications, developing and initiating clinical trials for our product candidates, and improving and maintaining our patent portfolio.
 
We have generated significant losses to date, and we expect to continue to generate losses as we progress towards the commercialization of our product candidates. We have incurred net losses of approximately $2.66 million and $44.50 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and for the period from inception through June 30, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, we had stockholders’ equity of approximately $7.31 million. We are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if at all.

Although we have not yet generated revenues from product sales, we have begun generating income from partnering on development programs and we expect to continue to expand our partnering activity.
 
In October 2009, we signed a preclinical development and option agreement with a major international healthcare company that is a market leader in the field of hemophilia, representing our first collaboration agreement for the Biopump Platform Technology. Pursuant to this agreement, the healthcare company provided funding for preclinical development of our Biopump Platform Technology to produce and deliver the clotting protein Factor VIII for the sustained treatment of hemophilia. Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, we received $3.90 million. On October 22, 2010 the agreement expired. We and the healthcare company subsequently agreed on a 6-month extension of the agreement. During the extension period, the Company assumed the funding responsibilities and the healthcare company had the exclusive option, with an exercise price of $2.50 million, to negotiate a definitive agreement regarding a transaction related to the Factor VIII Biopump technology taking into account the relative contributions of the parties. In July 2011, the Company and the healthcare company agreed on an additional extension of the agreement. Under the extension, confirmatory studies will be conducted implanting Factor VIII Biopumps in mice. The healthcare company will bear the costs of these studies. During the extended agreement which will expire no later than September 30, 2011, the healthcare company has the opportunity to exercise the aforementioned option.

United States Initial Public Offering (“IPO”):
 
On April 13, 2011 we completed the IPO of our Common stock and redeemable Common stock purchase warrants both listed on the NYSE Amex. We issued 2,624,100 shares of Common stock, including 164,100 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $4.54 per share and redeemable Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase 2,829,000 shares including 369,000 warrants pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $ 0.46 per warrant for total gross proceeds of $13.21 million or approximately $10.39 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.45 million and other offering costs of approximately $1.37 million.

On the closing date of the IPO (April 13, 2011), $0.57 million of 2009 Debentures were automatically converted at a conversion price of $2.724 per share of Common stock into an aggregate 209,656 shares of Common stock. In addition we issued 5-year warrants to purchase 84,693 shares of Common stock at an initial exercise price of $4.99 per share in connection with the conversion of the 2009 Debentures; and $4.00 million of 2010 Debentures were automatically converted at a conversion price of $3.405 per share of Common stock into an aggregate 1,198,242 shares of Common stock.

In connection with the Company’s IPO, the exercise price of certain warrants and options which were initially issued with round-down protection mechanism were adjusted based upon the share value as determined in the IPO.

Financial Operations Overview
 
Research and Development Expense
 
Research and development expense from inception through June 30, 2011 consists of: (i) internal costs associated with our development activities; (ii) payments we make to third party contract research organizations, contract manufacturers, investigative sites, and consultants; (iii) technology and intellectual property license costs; (iv) manufacturing development costs; (v) personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel, and related costs for the personnel involved in product development; (vi) activities related to regulatory filings and the advancement of our product candidates through preclinical studies and clinical trials; and (vii) facilities and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent, facility maintenance, as well as laboratory and other supplies. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Conducting a significant amount of development is central to our business model. Through June 30, 2011, we incurred approximately $27.17 million in gross research and development expenses since our inception on January 27, 2000. Product candidates in later-stage clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of development, primarily due to the significantly increased size and duration of the clinical trials. We plan to increase our research and development expenses for the foreseeable future in order to complete development of our two most advanced product candidates, the EPODURE Biopump and the INFRADURE Biopump, and our earlier-stage research and development projects.
 
The process of conducting pre-clinical studies and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The probability of success for each product candidate and clinical trial may be affected by a variety of factors, including, among others, the quality of the product candidate’s early clinical data, investment in the program, competition, manufacturing capabilities and commercial viability. As a result of these uncertainties, together with the uncertainty associated with clinical trial enrollments and the risks inherent in the development process, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of current or future clinical stages of our product candidates or when, or to what extent, we will generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates. Development timelines, probability of success and development costs vary widely. We are currently focused on developing our most advanced product candidates, the EPODURE Biopump, the INFRADURE Biopump and the HEMODURE Biopump.

 
21

 

Research and development expenses are shown net of participation by third parties. The excess of the recognized amount received from the healthcare company over the amount of research and development expenses incurred during the relevant period for the project related to the collaboration agreement was recognized as other income within operating income.
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for persons serving in our executive, finance and accounting functions. Other general and administrative expense includes facility-related costs not otherwise included in research and development expense, costs associated with industry and trade shows, and professional fees for legal services and accounting services. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we add personnel and become subject to the reporting obligations applicable to public companies in the United States. Since our inception on January 27, 2000 through June 30, 2011, we spent $23.31 million on general and administrative expense.
 
Other Income
 
We have not generated any product revenue since our inception, but, since the signing of our first collaboration agreement on October 22, 2009, have received $3.90 million through June 30, 2011 of which $2.90 million has been recognized as other income. This amount represents the excess of payments received over the direct R&D costs related to the project under the collaborative agreement.
 
Financial income and expense
 
Financial expense consists primarily of convertible debentures valuations as well as warrant valuations, interest and amortization of beneficial conversion feature of convertible note, and interest incurred on debentures.
 
Financial income consists primarily of interest-earned on our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
 
Results of Operations for the periods of Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
Research and Development Expenses, net
 
Gross research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $2.72 million, increasing from $1.37 million for the same period in 2010 due to license fees paid, as well as an increase in purchases of materials, an increase in the use of sub-contractors in connection with our phase I/II EPODURE clinical trial in 2011, increased expenses in developing our Factor VIII Biopump, and preparations for the trial of INFRADURE, including the production of a GMP vector.
 
Research and development expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $2.22 million, increasing from $0.70 million for the same period in 2010. In addition to the increase in the gross R&D expenses, as detailed above, $0.50 million participation from the OCS was recorded during this period, compared with $0.67 million received from the OCS and a third party in the comparative period in 2010.

General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $1.83 million, increasing from $1.11 million for the same period in 2010 primarily due an increase in professional fees.

 
22

 

Other Income
 
Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was zero as compared with $1.29 million for the same period in 2010. The income in 2010 was recognized in connection with our first collaboration agreement signed in October 2009. As explained above, the excess of the recognized amount received from the pharmaceutical company over the amount of research and development expenses incurred during the period for that agreement was reflected as other income.
 
Financial Income and Expenses
 
Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.13 million, increasing slightly from $0.11 million for the same period in 2010. This increase of $0.02 million was mainly due the change in valuation of the convertible debentures which is included in financial expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2011 while the change in the valuation of the convertible debentures was included in financial income during the first half of 2010.
 
Financial income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.52 million, increasing from $0.98 million for the same period in 2010. The increase of $0.54 million was primarily due to the change in valuation of the warrant liability.
 
Results of Operations for the periods of Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
Research and Development Expenses, net
 
Gross research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $1.54 million, increasing from $0.81 million for the same period in 2010 due to license fees paid, as well as an increase in purchases of materials, an increase in the use of sub-contractors in connection with our phase I/II EPODURE clinical trial in 2011, increased expenses in developing our Factor VIII Biopump, and preparations for the trial of INFRADURE, including the production of a GMP vector.
 
Research and development expenses, net for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $1.04 million, increasing from $0.40 million for the same period in 2010. In addition to the increase in the gross R&D expenses, as detailed above, $0.50 million participation from the OCS was recorded during this period, compared with $0.41 received from the OCS and a third party in the comparative period in 2010.

General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $1.05 million, increasing from $0.44 million for the same period in 2010 primarily due an increase in professional fees.
 
Other Income
 
Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was zero as compared with $0.69 million for the same period in 2010. The income in 2010 was recognized in connection with our first collaboration agreement signed in October 2009. As explained above, the excess of the recognized amount received from the pharmaceutical company over the amount of research and development expenses incurred during the period for that agreement was reflected as other income.
 
Financial Income and Expenses
 
Financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.23 million, decreasing from $1.83 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease of $1.60 million was mainly due to the change in valuation of the warrant liability and the convertible debentures.

 
23

 

Financial income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was less than $0.01 million, decreasing from $0.03 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease of $0.03 million was primarily due to the change in foreign currency exchange rates.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Sources of Liquidity
 
We have financed our operations primarily through a combination of equity, debt issues and grants from the OCS and other third parties.
 
We recorded $4.9 million from inception through June 30, 2011 from the OCS in development grants of which $0.1 million was received during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
In the six months ended June 30, 2011, options and warrants were exercised in consideration of $0.04 million and 311,419 shares of common stock were issued.
 
On April 13, 2011 we completed our IPO in the United States of our Common stock and redeemable Common stock-purchase warrants which are both listed on the NYSE Amex. The Company issued 2,624,100 shares of Common stock, including 164,100 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $4.54 per share and redeemable Common stock purchase warrants to purchase 2,829,000 shares including 369,000 warrants pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $0.46 per warrant for total gross proceeds of $13.21 million or approximately $10.39 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.45 million and other offering costs of approximately $1.37 million.
 
On the closing date of the IPO (April 13, 2011) $0.57 million of 2009 Debentures were automatically converted at a conversion price of $2.724 per share of common stock into an aggregate amount of 209,656 shares. In addition, the Company issued 5-year warrants to purchase 84,693 shares at an initial exercise price of $4.99 per share in connection with the conversion of the 2009 Debentures; and $4.00 million of 2010 Debentures were automatically converted at a conversion price of $3.405 per share into an aggregate amount of 1,198,242 shares.
 
Cash Flows
 
We had cash and cash equivalents of $10.12 million at June 30, 2011, $1.36 million at June 30, 2010 and $2.86 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in our cash balance during the first six months of 2011 was primarily the result of the IPO during the period.
 
The increase in our cash balance during the first six months of 2010 was primarily the result of the proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock during that period.
 
Net cash used in operating activities of $3.00 million for the six months ended at June 30, 2011 primarily reflected our cash expenses for our operations. Net cash used in operating activities of $1.18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily reflected our cash expenses for our operations in addition to increases in prepaid expenses and deferred issuance expenses and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
 
Our cash used in investing activities relates mainly to our purchases of property and equipment.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.43 million and $2.08 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Our cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011 are primarily the result of the IPO from which the net proceeds were $10.39 million.
 
Our cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were primarily net cash proceeds from the issuance of shares of $2.08 million.

Funding Requirements
 
We expect to enter into licensing or other commercialization agreements for all or parts of applications of our Biopump Platform Technology to fund our continuing operations. If we are unable to enter into such agreements on terms acceptable to us, we will continue to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. We expect to incur increasing research and development expenses, including expenses related to the hiring of personnel and additional clinical trials, as we further develop the EPODURE Biopump, the INFRADURE Biopump and the HEMODURE Biopump. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will also increase as we expand our finance and administrative staff, add infrastructure, and incur additional costs related to being a public company in the United States, including investor relations programs, and increased professional fees. Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the timing and outcome of clinical trials and regulatory approvals, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the acquisition of licenses to new products or compounds, the status of competitive products, the availability of financing, and our success in developing markets for our product candidates.
 
Without taking into account any revenue we may receive as a result of licensing or other commercialization agreements we are pursuing, we believe that the net proceeds we received from our initial public offering will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the first quarter of 2012. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and we could use our available resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated clinical trials.
 
We do not anticipate that we will generate revenue from the sale of products for at least five years; however, we do intend to seek licensing or other commercialization agreements similar to our agreement relating to the development of a Biopump producing Factor VIII. We anticipate that the funds received as a result of such agreements may be sufficient to fund our operations in the future. In the absence of additional funding or adequate funding from commercialization agreements, we expect our continuing operating losses to result in increases in our cash used in operations over the next several quarters and years.
 
Absent significant corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements, we will need to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, or debt financings. We do not currently have any commitments for future external funding. We may need to raise additional funds more quickly if one or more of our assumptions prove to be incorrect or if we choose to expand our product development efforts more rapidly than we presently anticipate, and we may decide to raise additional funds even before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. We may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a bank credit facility. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if convertible, could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also result in covenants that would restrict our operations.
 
These conditions raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans include seeking additional investments and commercial agreements to continue our operations. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise the necessary capital and/or reach such commercial agreements to continue our planned research and development activities.
 
Principal Uncertainties Related to Potential Future Milestone Payments
 
We have acquired the exclusive worldwide right to make commercial use of certain patents in connection with the development and commercialization of our product candidate to produce clotting Factor VIII through a license granted by the Regents of the University of Michigan (Michigan). The Michigan license agreement contains milestone payments, license fees, milestone payments, royalties and sub-license fees as follows:

 
·
an initial license fee of $25,000;

 
25

 

 
·
an annual license fee in arrears of $10,000 rising to $50,000 following the grant by the Company of a sublicense or (if sooner) from the 6th anniversary of the effective date of the Licence Agreement;

 
·
staged milestone payments of $750,000 (in aggregate), of which $400,000 will be recoupable against royalties;

 
·
royalties at an initial rate of 5% of net sales, reducing by a percentage point at predetermined thresholds to 2% upon cumulative net sales exceeding $50,000,000;

 
·
Sublicense fees at an initial rate of 6% of sublicensing revenues, reducing by a percentage point at predetermined thresholds to 4%. upon cumulative sublicensing revenues exceeding $50,000,000; and

 
·
Patent maintenance costs.

The exclusive worldwide license is expected to expire in 2026 upon the expiration of the last to expire of the patent rights licensed. As of the balance sheet date, we have paid the initial license fee and patent maintenance costs. No royalties or sub-license fees have yet accrued. Additionally, we cannot estimate when we will begin selling any products that would require us to make any such royalty payments. Whether we will be obligated to make royalty payments in the future is subject to the success of our product development efforts and, accordingly, is inherently uncertain.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those described below. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.
 
The following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we use in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Convertible Debentures
 
We irrevocably elected to initially and subsequently measure the convertible debentures issued in 2009 and 2010 entirely at fair value, in accordance with ASC 825-10. As a result, we will not separate the embedded derivative instrument from the host contract and account for it as a derivative instrument. The convertible debentures are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of financial income (expense), net in the statements of operations. We estimate the fair value of these convertible debentures at the respective balance sheet dates using the Binomial option pricing model. We use a number of assumptions to estimate the fair value, including the remaining contractual terms of the convertible debentures, risk-free interest rates, expected dividend yield and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock. These assumptions could differ significantly in the future.
 
During the first six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded financial income of $0.04 million to reflect the decrease in the fair value of the convertible debentures as opposed to $0.02 million recorded as income during the six month period ended June 30, 2010.

Liability in Respect of Warrants

In 2010 we issued warrants with an exercise price denominated in British Pounds Sterling which differs from the functional currency we use. In addition, the exercise price of such warrants is subject to downward adjustment. In addition, in 2006 and 2007, we issued warrants that included price protection in the event of sales of securities below the then current exercise price. In accordance with ASC 815-40-15-7I, we classified these warrants as a liability at their fair value. The warrants liability will be remeasured at each reporting period until exercised or expired. The decrease in the fair value of the warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 of $1.50 million and $0.90 million respectively are reported in the Statements of Operations as financial income.

We estimate the fair value of these warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Binomial option pricing model. We use a number of assumptions to estimate the fair value, including the remaining contractual terms of the warrants, risk-free interest rates, expected dividend yield and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock. These assumptions could differ significantly in the future, thus resulting in variability of the fair value which would impact the results of operations in the future.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
We account for stock options according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 (ASC 718) “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis.
 
We account for stock options granted to non-employees on a fair value basis using an option pricing method in accordance with ASC 718. The initial non-cash charge to operations for non-employee options with vesting are revalued at the end of each reporting period based upon the change in the fair value of the options and amortized to consulting expense over the related vesting period.
 
For the purpose of valuing options and warrants granted to our employees, non-employees and directors and officers during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we used the Binomial options pricing model. To determine the risk-free interest rate, we utilized the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected term of our awards. We estimated the expected life of the options granted based on anticipated exercises in the future periods assuming the success of our business model as currently forecast. The expected dividend yield reflects our current and expected future policy for dividends on its common stock. The expected stock price volatility for our stock options was calculated by examining historical volatilities for publicly traded industry peers as we do not have sufficient trading history for our common stock. We will continue to analyze the expected stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for our common stock becomes available. Given the senior nature of the roles of our employees, directors and officers, we currently estimate that we will experience no forfeitures for those options currently outstanding.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Pursuant to our license agreement with Yissum Research Development Company of the Hebrew University (“Yissum”), Yissum granted us a license of certain patents for commercial development, production, sub-license and marketing of products to be based on its know-how and research results. In consideration, we agreed to pay Yissum the following amounts, provided, however, that the total aggregate payment of royalties and sub-license fees by us to Yissum shall not exceed $10 million:
 
 
·
Non-refundable license fee of $0.4 million to be paid in three installments, as follows:
 
·
$0.05 million when the accrued investments in us by any third party after May 23, 2005 equal at least $3 million (paid in 2007);
 
·
$0.15 million when the accrued investments in us by any third party after May 23, 2005 equal at least $12 million (paid in second quarter of 2010); and
 
·
$0.2 million when the accrued investments in us by any third party after May 23, 2005 equal at least $18 million (paid in April 2011).

·
Royalties at a rate of 5% of net sales of product incorporating the licensed technology; and

In 2007, we signed an agreement with Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) whereby BCM granted us a non-exclusive worldwide license to use, market, sell, lease and import certain technology (BCM technology), by way of any product process or service that incorporates, utilizes or is made with the use of the BCM technology. In consideration we agreed to pay BCM the following amounts:

 
·
a one time, non-refundable license fee of $25,000 which was paid in 2007;
 
·
an annual non-refundable maintenance fee of $20,000;
 
·
a one-time milestone payment of $75,000 upon FDA clearance or equivalent of clearance for therapeutic use. As of the balance sheet date, we have not achieved FDA clearance; and
 
·
an installment of $25,000 upon our executing any sub-licenses in respect of the BCM technology.

All payments to BCM are recorded as research and development expenses. The license agreement shall expire (unless terminated earlier for default or by us at our discretion) on the first day following the tenth anniversary of our first commercial sale of licensed products. After termination, we will have a perpetual, royalty free license to the BCM technology.

Under agreements with the OCS in Israel regarding research and development projects, our Israeli subsidiary is committed to pay royalties to the OCS at rates between 3.5% and 5% of the income resulting from this research and development, at an amount not to exceed the amount of the grants received by our subsidiary as participation in the research and development program, plus interest at LIBOR. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual income and in the absence of such income no payment is required. As of June 30, 2011, the aggregate contingent liability amounted to approximately $4.9 million.

Pursuant to an agreement we entered into on February 11, 2011 (effective as of January 31, 2011), the Regents of the University of Michigan (Michigan) have granted an exclusive worldwide license for patent rights relating to certain uses of variants of clotting Factor VIII. The License Agreement covers a portfolio of 2 issued and 3 pending patents. In consideration we agreed to pay Michigan the following amounts:

 
·
an initial license fee of $25,000;

 
·
an annual license fee in arrears of $10,000 rising to $50,000 following the grant by us of a sublicense or (if sooner) from the 6th anniversary of the effective date of the licence agreement;

 
·
staged milestone payments of $750,000 (in aggregate), of which $400,000 will be recoupable against royalties;

 
·
royalties at an initial rate of 5% of net sales, reducing by a percentage point at predetermined thresholds to 2% upon cumulative net sales exceeding $50,000,000;

 
·
sublicense fees at an initial rate of 6% of sublicensing revenues, reducing by a percentage point at predetermined thresholds to 4%. upon cumulative sublicensing revenues exceeding $50,000,000; and

 
·
patent maintenance costs.

The exclusive worldwide license is expected to expire in 2026 upon the expiration of the last to expire of the patent rights licensed.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
 
On April 7, 2011, a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-170425) relating to our initial public offering in the United States was declared effective by the SEC. An aggregate of 2,829,000 shares of our common stock (including 369,000 shares of common stock subject to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) and 2,829,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (including 369,000 warrants subject to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional warrants) were registered under the registration statement, at an initial public offering price of $5.00 for the combination of one share and one warrant (representing a price of $4.54 per share of common stock and $0.46 per warrant). The aggregate offering price for the shares and warrants was approximately $14.1 million.
 
Each warrant included in the offering entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $6.00 per share. The warrants have a 5-year term from the date of issuance and are immediately exercisable for cash only. We have the right to redeem the warrants for $0.01 per warrant in the event the price of our common stock exceeds $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 consecutive trading day period.
 
The U.S. initial public offering closed on April 13, 2011. Roth Capital Partners acted as the sole book-running manager for the offering and Maxim Group LLC acted as co-lead manager. On April 19, 2011, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 369,000 warrants at the public offering price of $0.46 per warrant. On May 3, 2011, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 164,100 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $4.54 per share. The remaining option to purchase an additional 204,900 shares of common stock expired on May 21, 2011.
 
In our U.S. initial public offering, we sold a total of 2,624,100 shares of common stock and 2,829,000 warrants for net proceeds of approximately $10.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.1 million, the corporate finance fee payable to the underwriters of approximately $0.4 million and offering expenses of approximately $1.4 million.
 
No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.
 
We intend to use the proceeds from our U.S. initial public offering for product development activities, including clinical trials of our product candidates EPODURE to treat anemia in chronic kidney disease and INFRADURE to treat hepatitis C, for the development of HEMODURE Biopumps producing clotting Factor VIII to treat hemophilia, for patent maintenance fees and intellectual property support and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition or licensing of complementary technologies, products or business. In the second quarter of 2011, approximately $273,000 of the net proceeds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the payment of regular compensation to our directors and officers. Pending use of the remaining net proceeds as described above, we have invested the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing investment grade securities. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our U.S. initial public offering from that described in the final prospectus dated April 7, 2011 filed by us with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b).
