On February 28, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a change of the Company’s fiscal year from the period beginning on September 1 and ending on August 31 to the period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31. As a result, the Company filed a transition report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2022 that included financial information for the transition period from September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. Subsequent to that report, the Company’s fiscal year now begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is the Company’s second quarterly report in its new fiscal year, and reports financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” mean Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts refer to U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated.

On June 30, 2022, the exchange rate between the New Israeli Shekel, or NIS, and the dollar, as quoted by the Bank of Israel, was NIS 3.5 to $1.00. Unless indicated otherwise by the context, statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that provide the dollar equivalent of NIS amounts or provide the NIS equivalent of dollar amounts are based on such exchange rate.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “planned expenditures,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “considers” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not deemed to represent an all-inclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements as denoted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, statements concerning future matters are forward-looking statements. We remind readers that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors and involve known and unknown risks that could cause the actual results, performance, levels of activity, or our achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, levels of activity, or our achievements, or industry results, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other statements, statements regarding the following:

●

the expected development and potential benefits from our products in treating diabetes;

●

the prospects of entering into additional license agreements, or other partnerships or forms of cooperation with other companies or medical institutions;

●

future milestones, conditions and royalties under the license agreement with Hefei Tianhui Incubator of Technologies Co., Ltd., or HTIT, as well as our disagreements with HTIT;

●

expected timing of a clinical trial for the potential Oravax Medical Inc., or Oravax vaccine and its potential to protect against COVID-19;

●

our consideration of ways in which our shareholders could benefit more directly from Oravax, including the potential issuance of some of our shares in Oravax to our shareholders as a dividend;

●

our research and development plans, including pre-clinical and clinical trials plans and the timing of enrollment, obtaining results and conclusion of trials, and our expectation to file a Biologics License Application, or BLA thereafter;

●

our belief that our technology has the potential to deliver medications and vaccines orally that today can only be delivered via injection;

●

the competitive ability of our technology based product efficacy, safety, patient convenience, reliability, value and patent position;

●

the potential market demand for our products;

●

our expectation that in upcoming years our research and development expenses, net, will continue to be our major expenditure;

●

our expectations regarding our short- and long-term capital requirements;

●

our outlook for the coming months and future periods, including but not limited to our expectations regarding future revenue and expenses;

●

information with respect to any other plans and strategies for our business; and

●

our expectations regarding the impact of COVID-19, including on our clinical trials and operations.

Although forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those specifically addressed under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, or our Annual Report, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on November 24, 2021, as well as those discussed elsewhere in our Annual Report and expressed from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. In addition, historic results of scientific research, clinical and preclinical trials do not guarantee that the conclusions of future research or trials would not suggest different conclusions. Also, historic results referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could be interpreted differently in light of additional research, clinical and preclinical trials results. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

General:

Incorporation and Operations

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, unless the context indicates otherwise), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on April 12, 2002.

On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd. to acquire the provisional patent related to an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes.

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

On July 30, 2019, the Subsidiary incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, Oramed HK Limited (the “Hong Kong Subsidiary”). As of June 30, 2022, the Hong Kong Subsidiary has no operations.

On March 18, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Oravax License Agreement”) with Oravax Medical Inc. (“Oravax”) and into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with Akers Biosciences Inc. (“Akers”), Premas Biotech Pvt. Ltd. (“Premas”), Cutter Mill Capital LLC (“Cutter Mill”) and Run Ridge LLC (“Run Ridge”). According to the Stockholders Agreement, Oravax issued 1,890,000 shares of its capital stock to the Company, representing 63% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Oravax, on a fully diluted basis, as of the date of issuance. Consequently, Oramed consolidates Oravax in its consolidated financial statements since that time.

On November 23, 2021, Oravax incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oravax Medical Ltd., which is engaged in research and development. Effective January 1, 2022, Oravax transferred its rights and obligations under the Oravax License Agreement to Oravax Medical Ltd.

Change in Fiscal Year

Development and Liquidity Risks

The Company is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field for innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules for delivery of other polypeptides, and has not generated significant revenues from its operations. Based on the Company’s current cash resources and commitments, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months, although no assurance can be given that the Company will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in its operating expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months. Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to selling its products within the United States, obtaining foreign regulatory approvals to sell its products internationally, or entering into licensing agreements with third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company’s ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities.

In addition to the foregoing, based on the Company’s current assessment, the Company does not expect any material impact on its development timeline and its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19. However, the Company has experienced approximately six months of delays in clinical trials due to slow-downs of recruitment for trials generally. The Company may experience further delays if the pandemic worsens and continues for an extended period of time and it is continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented by governments to combat the virus throughout the world.

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

Loss per common share

Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock are computed by dividing the net loss attributable to stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period, including vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Outstanding stock options, warrants and unvested RSUs have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The weighted average number of common stock options, warrants and RSUs excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss was 3,470,361 and 5,292,034 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and 3,477,121 and 5,102,392 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Revenue recognition

On November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (the “TLA”), with Hefei Tianhui Incubator of Technologies Co. Ltd. (“HTIT”) and on December 21, 2015, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Technology License Agreement that was further amended by the parties on June 3, 2016 and July 24, 2016 (the “HTIT License Agreement”). The HTIT License Agreement and a stock purchase agreement, dated November 30, 2015, between the Company and HTIT (the “SPA”) were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the HTIT License Agreement and the SPA according to their fair value, as follows: $10,617 was allocated to the issuance of common stock (less issuance expenses of $23), based on the quoted price of the Company’s shares on the closing date of the SPA on December 28, 2015, and $38,883 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement.

Under Accounting Standard Codification, (“ASC”) 606, the Company identified a single performance obligation in the agreement and determined that the license and services are not distinct as the license and services are highly dependent on each other. In other words, HTIT cannot benefit from the license without the related services, and vice versa.

Since the customer benefits from the services as the entity performs, revenue is recognized over time through the expected product submission date in June 2023, using the input method. The Company used the input method to measure the process for the purpose of recognizing revenue, which approximates the straight line attribution. The Company used significant judgment when it determined the product submission date.

Under ASC 606, the consideration that the Company would be entitled to upon the achievement of contractual milestones, which are contingent upon the occurrence of future events, are a form of variable consideration. When assessing the portion, if any, of such milestones-related consideration to be included in the transaction price, the Company first assesses the most likely outcome for each milestone and excludes the consideration related to milestones of which the occurrence is not considered the most likely outcome.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

The Company then evaluates if any of the variable consideration determined in the first step is constrained by including in the transaction price variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company used significant judgment when it determined the first step of variable consideration.

The potential future royalty consideration is also considered a form of variable consideration under ASC 606 as it is based on a percentage of potential future sales of the Company’s products. However, the Company applies the sales-based royalty exception and accordingly will recognize the sales-based royalty amounts when the related sale has occurred. To date, the Company has not recognized any royalty-related revenue.

As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate amount of $22,382 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement, all of which were received through the balance sheet date. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has recognized revenue associated with this agreement in the aggregate amount of $17,679, of which $674 was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and deferred the remaining amount of $4,703, which is presented as deferred revenues on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Condensed consolidated financial statements preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and, on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2021 Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year’s results.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that year. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS:

In March 2011, the Subsidiary sold shares of its investee company, Entera Bio Ltd. (“Entera”) to D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd. (“D.N.A”), retaining 117,000 ordinary shares (after giving effect to a stock split by Entera in July 2018). In consideration for the shares sold to D.N.A, the Company received, among other payments, ordinary shares of D.N.A (see also note 4).

As part of this agreement, the Subsidiary entered into a patent transfer agreement (the “Patent Transfer Agreement”), according to which the Subsidiary assigned to Entera all of its rights to a patent application related to the oral administration of proteins that it has licensed to Entera since August 2010, in return for royalties of 3% of Entera’s net revenues and a license back of that patent application for use in respect of diabetes and influenza. As of June 30, 2022, Entera had not paid any royalties to the Subsidiary. On December 11, 2018, Entera announced that it had entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Amgen, Inc. (“Amgen”). To the extent that the license granted to Amgen results in net revenues as defined in the Patent Transfer Agreement, the Subsidiary will be entitled to the aforementioned royalties. As part of a consulting agreement with a third party dated February 15, 2011, the Subsidiary is obliged to pay this third party royalties of 8% of the net royalties received in respect of the patent that was sold to Entera in March 2011.

NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS (continued):

According to the HTIT License Agreement, the Company granted HTIT an exclusive commercialization license in the territory of the People’s Republic of China, Macau and Hong Kong (the “Territory”), related to the Company’s oral insulin capsule, ORMD-0801 (the “Product”). Pursuant to the HTIT License Agreement, HTIT will conduct, at its own expense, certain pre-commercialization and regulatory activities with respect to the Subsidiary’s technology and ORMD-0801 capsule, and will pay to the Subsidiary (i) royalties of 10% on net sales of the related commercialized products to be sold by HTIT in the Territory (“Royalties”), and (ii) an aggregate of $37,500, of which $3,000 was payable immediately, $8,000 will be paid subject to the Company entering into certain agreements with certain third parties, and $26,500 will be paid upon achievement of certain milestones and conditions. In the event that the Company does not meet certain conditions, the Royalties rate may be reduced to a minimum of 8%. Following the final expiration of the Company’s patents covering the technology in the Territory in 2033, the Royalties rate may be reduced, under certain circumstances, to 5%.

The royalty payment obligation shall apply during the period of time beginning upon the first commercial sale of the Product in the Territory, and ending upon the later of (i) the expiration of the last-to-expire licensed patents in the Territory; and (ii) 15 years after the first commercial sale of the Product in the Territory (the “Royalty Term”).

The HTIT License Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration of the Royalty Term. The HTIT License Agreement contains customary termination provisions.

Among others, the Company’s involvement through the product submission date will include consultancy for the pre-commercialization activities in the Territory, as well as advisory services to HTIT on an ongoing basis.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has received milestone payments in an aggregate amount of $20,500 as follows: the initial payment of $3,000 was received in January 2016. Following the achievement of certain milestones, the second and third payments of $6,500 and $4,000, respectively, were received in July 2016, the fourth milestone payment of $4,000 was received in October 2016 and the fifth milestone payment of $3,000 was received in January 2019.

On August 21, 2020, the Company received a letter from HTIT, disputing certain pending payment obligations of HTIT under the TLA. The payment obligation being disputed is $6,000, out of which only an amount of $2,000 has been received and has been included in deferred revenue in each of the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company wholly disputes the claims made by HTIT and has been engaged in discussions and exchanges with HTIT in an attempt to clarify and resolve disagreements between the parties regarding milestone payments and work plan implementation.

In addition, on November 30, 2015, the Company entered into the SPA with HTIT, according to which, the Company issued 1,155,367 shares of common stock to HTIT for $12,000. The transaction closed on December 28, 2015.

The HTIT License Agreement and the SPA were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the HTIT License Agreement and the SPA according to their fair value, as follows: $10,617 was allocated to the issuance of common stock (less issuance expenses of $23), based on the quoted price of the Company’s shares on the closing date of the SPA on December 28, 2015, and $38,883 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement. The Company determined that revenues are recognized over time through the expected product submission date in June 2023.

In July 2015, according to the letter of intent signed between the parties or their affiliates, HTIT’s affiliate paid the Subsidiary a non-refundable amount of $500 as a no-shop fee. The no-shop fee was deferred and the related revenue is recognized over the estimated term of the HTIT License Agreement.

For the Company’s revenue recognition policy see note 1c.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE:

The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial assets. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1:

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

Level 2:

Observable prices that are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3:

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

As of June 30, 2022, the assets measured at fair value are comprised of equity securities (Level 1). The fair value of held to maturity bonds as presented in note 4 was based on a Level 2 measurement.

As of June 30, 2022, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, short-term deposits and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

As of June 30, 2022, the carrying amounts of long-term deposits approximate their fair values due to the stated interest rates which approximate market rates.

The amounts funded in respect of employee rights are stated at cash surrender value which approximates its fair value.

NOTE 4 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

The Company’s marketable securities include investments in equity securities of D.N.A and Entera and in held to maturity bonds.

NOTE 8 - ASSET ACQUISITION TRANSACTION

On March 18, 2021, the Company entered into the Oravax License Agreement and into the Stockholders Agreement with Oravax. On that date, Oravax’s assets were (1) in process research and development of COVID-19 vaccine technology; and (2) $1,500 to be received in cash. According to the Stockholders Agreement, Oravax issued 1,890,000 shares of its capital stock to the Company, representing 63% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Oravax, on a fully diluted basis, as of the date of issuance, for which we paid $1,500. Consequently, the Company consolidates Oravax in its consolidated financial statements since that time. In addition, under the terms of the Oravax License Agreement, the Company has licensed out to Oravax certain patent rights, know-how and information related to the Company’s oral drug delivery technology with respect to the combination with the COVID-19 vaccine technology.

In consideration for the grant of the License, the Oravax License Agreement provides that the Company will receive (i) royalties equal to 7.5% on net sales, as defined in the Oravax License Agreement, of each product commercialized by Oravax, its affiliates and permitted sublicensees related to the License during the term specified in the Oravax License Agreement, (ii) sublicensing fees equal to 15% of any non-sales-based consideration received by Oravax from a permitted sublicensee and (iii) other payments ranging between $25,000 to $100,000, based on certain sales milestones being achieved by Oravax. The parties further agreed to establish a development and steering committee, which will consist of three members, of which two members will be appointed by the Company, that will oversee the ongoing research, development, clinical and regulatory activity with respect to the Oravax product. Akers contributed $1,500 in cash to Oravax and a license agreement to the Oravax product which includes a maximum of 2.5% royalties of all net sales. Effective January 1, 2022, Oravax transferred its rights and obligations under the Oravax License Agreement to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oravax Medical Ltd.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Oravax License Agreement, the Company entered into the Stockholders Agreement with Akers, Premas, Cutter Mill, and Run Ridge, entities controlled by Michael Vasinikovich and Craig Schwabe, former members of Cystron Biotech LLC (“Cystron,” and collectively with Akers, Premas, Cutter Mill and Run Ridge, the “Stockholders Parties”). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, among other things, the Company has the right to appoint two out of the three members to the board of directors of Oravax (the “Oravax Board”), one of which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer who will serve as the chairman of the Oravax Board, conditioned upon the Company maintaining certain ownership thresholds.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein and in our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report and our Transition Report on Form 10-Q for the transition period from September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.

Overview of Operations

We are a pharmaceutical company currently engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions with a technology platform that delivers protein orally instead of by injection. Our first drug candidate is an oral insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We utilize clinical research organizations, or CROs, to conduct our clinical trials.

Through our research and development efforts, we have successfully developed an oral dosage form intended to withstand the harsh environment of the stomach and effectively deliver active biological insulin or other proteins, such as Glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, leptin, and others. The excipients in the formulation are not intended to modify the proteins chemically or biologically, and the dosage form is designed to be safe to ingest. We plan to continue to conduct clinical trials to show the effectiveness of our technology.

Oral Insulin

Our proprietary flagship product, an orally ingestible insulin capsule, or ORMD-0801, allows insulin to travel from the gastrointestinal tract via the portal vein to the liver, revolutionizing the manner in which insulin is delivered. This novel mode of delivery closely mimics the human body’s delivery of endogenous insulin.

FDA Guidance: In August 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, provided guidance that the regulatory pathway for the submission of candidates like ORMD-0801 would be a BLA. If approved, the BLA pathway would grant us 12 years of marketing exclusivity for ORMD-0801, from the approval date, and an additional six months of exclusivity may be granted to us if the product also receives approval for use in pediatric patients.

Phase 2b Trial: In February 2020, we announced positive topline data from the second and final cohort of our Phase 2b trial. Treatment with ORMD-0801 at all doses demonstrated an excellent safety profile, with no serious drug-related adverse events and with no increased frequency of hypoglycemic episodes or weight gain compared to placebo.

Phase 3 Trial: We are currently conducting two Phase 3 trials concurrently in patients with type 2 diabetes, or T2D. These trials involve about 1,125 patients to provide evidence of ORMD-0801’s safety and efficacy in T2D patients over a treatment period of 6 to 12 months. A geographically diverse patient population is being recruited from multiple sites throughout the United States, Europe, United Kingdom and Israel. Our Phase 3 trial is composed of two protocols:

ORA-D-013-1: This trial is currently being conducted on T2D patients with inadequate glycaemic control who are currently on two or three oral glucose-lowering agents. This U.S. trial was designed to recruit 675 patients from over 90 clinical sites located throughout the U.S. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 in this double-dummy trial into cohorts of: 8 mg ORMD-0801 once-daily at night and placebo 45 minutes before breakfast; 8 mg ORMD-0801 twice-daily, at night and 45 minutes before breakfast; and placebo twice-daily, at night and 45 minutes before breakfast. The primary endpoint of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of ORMD-0801 compared to placebo in improving glycaemic control as assessed by HbA1c, with a secondary efficacy endpoint of assessing the change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose at 26 weeks. We initiated this trial in December 2020. In May 2022 we completed enrollment, with 710 patients enrolled.

ORA-D-013-2: This trial includes T2D patients with inadequate glycaemic control who are attempting to manage their condition with either diet alone or with diet and metformin. A total of 450 patients are being recruited through 36 sites in the United States and 25 sites in Western Europe and Israel. Patients are being randomized 1:1 into two cohorts dosed with: 8 mg ORMD-0801 at night; and placebo at night. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the efficacy of ORMD-0801 compared to placebo in improving glycaemic control as assessed by HbA1c over a 26-week treatment period, with a secondary efficacy endpoint of assessing the change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose at 26 weeks. We initiated this trial in the United States in March 2021. As of July 2022, 50% of the 450 patients planned for this trial were enrolled and randomized.

We expect to receive the efficacy data from the trials after patients have completed the first 6 months of treatment. Safety will be further monitored as patients will be exposed to the drug over an additional 6 months (total 12 months). Topline efficacy data for the ORA-D-013-1 trial is expected in January 2023 and we anticipate filing a BLA with the FDA in 2024. A BLA would grant us at least 12 years of marketing exclusivity from the date of approval in the United States.

HTIT License. On November 30, 2015, we, the Subsidiary and HTIT entered into a Technology License Agreement, or the TLA, and on December 21, 2015, these parties entered into an Amended and Restated Technology License Agreement that was further amended by the parties on June 3, 2016 and July 24, 2016.

On August 21, 2020, we received a letter from HTIT, disputing certain pending payment obligations of HTIT under the TLA. We wholly dispute said claims and we are in discussions with HTIT in an attempt to reach a mutually agreeable solution. For further information, see note 2.b. to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

NASH trial: In September 2020, we initiated an open label clinical trial of our oral insulin capsule, ORMD-0801, for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, in type 2 diabetes. This six patient multi-center trial is comprised of three clinical sites in Belgium. The trial will measure change and percent change in MRI-PDFF from baseline to week 12. Data from this trial is expected in the second half of 2022.

NASH trial: In December 2020, we initiated a double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of our oral insulin capsule, ORMD-0801, for the treatment of NASH in type 2 diabetes. This 30 patient multi-center trial is comprised of five clinical sites: three in the United States and two in Israel. The trial will measure change and percent change in MRI-PDFF from baseline to week 12. In March 2022, we completed patient enrollment. Data from this trial is expected in the third quarter of 2022.

Oral Glucagon-Like Peptide-1

Oral GLP-1, is an incretin hormone, which stimulates the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. In addition to our flagship product, the ORMD-0801 insulin capsule, we use our technology for an orally ingestible GLP-1 capsule, or ORMD-0901.

In June 2021, we initiated a trial in T2D patients in the United States under an Investigational New Drug application filed with the FDA. Data from this trial is expected in the second half of 2022.

Oral Vaccine

On March 18, 2021, we entered into a license agreement, or the Oravax License Agreement, with Oravax, our 63% owned joint venture, pursuant to which we granted to Oravax an exclusive, worldwide license of our rights in certain patents and related intellectual property relating to our proprietary oral delivery technology to further develop, manufacture and commercialize oral vaccines for COVID-19 and other novel coronaviruses based on Premas Biotech Pvt. Ltd.’s, or Premas’s, proprietary vaccine technology involving a triple antigen virus like particle, or the Oravax product, which was previously owned by Cystron Biotech LLC, and later acquired by Akers Biosciences Inc., or Akers. Effective January 1, 2022, Oravax transferred its rights and obligations under the Oravax License Agreement to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oravax Medical Ltd. For further details regarding the Oravax License Agreement, see note 8 to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, Oravax’s oral COVID-19 vaccine received clearance from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority to initiate a Phase 1 trial and subsequently to commence patient enrollment in a first in human, Phase 1 clinical trial, for its oral COVID-19 vaccine and on December 14, 2021, Oravax screened and enrolled the first participant in a Phase 1 clinical trial of its oral virus-like particle (VLP) COVID-19 vaccine in Johannesburg, South Africa. The trial protocol calls for two cohorts each comprised of 12 participants. The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAPHRA) requires a 42-day safety waiting period once the last patient in Cohort A completes enrollment and dosing, after which Cohort B may commence enrollment and dosing. Due to several factors, including the fact that many volunteers did not qualify during screening due to prior asymptomatic COVID-19 infection and other conditions, the rate of enrollment was slower than anticipated. We added an additional clinical site and we have since completed enrollment and dosing of Cohort A with no safety issues reported thus far and anticipate sharing top-line data in the third quarter of 2022. We expect Cohort B to complete dosing in the third quarter of 2022 as well, with data expected in the fourth quarter of 2022.

On December 29, 2021, Oravax signed a cooperation and purchase agreement for an initial pre-purchase of 10 million doses of oral COVID-19 vaccines with Tan Thanh Holdings to commercialize the vaccine in Southeast Asia.

COVID-19 Impact

We do not expect any material impact on our development timeline and our liquidity due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19. However, we have experienced approximately six months of delays in clinical trials due to slow-downs of recruitment for trials generally. We may experience further delays if the pandemic worsens and continues for an extended period of time and we are continuing to assess the effect on our operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented by governments to combat the virus throughout the world.

There was no cost of revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

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, employee benefits, costs of materials, supplies, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services related to our clinical trials, clinical trial expenses, the full cost of manufacturing drugs for use in research and preclinical development. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.

Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. We outsource a substantial portion of our clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as CROs, independent clinical investigators and other third-party service providers to assist us with the execution of our clinical trials.

Clinical activities, which relate principally to clinical sites and other administrative functions to manage our clinical trials, are performed primarily by CROs. CROs typically perform most of the start-up activities for our trials, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-trial visits, training and program management.

Clinical trial and pre-clinical trial expenses include regulatory and scientific consultants’ compensation and fees, research expenses, purchase of materials, cost of capsule manufacturing, payments for patient recruitment and treatment, as well as salaries and related expenses of research and development staff.

Research and development expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by 60% to $15,015,000, compared to $9,366,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher expenses related to our Phase 3 clinical trials. Stock-based compensation expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 were $1,136,000, compared to $674,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2021. This increase was mainly due to equity awards granted to employees in the first quarter of 2022.

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by 187% to $9,179,000, compared to $3,198,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due higher expenses related to our Phase 3 clinical trials. Stock-based compensation expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 were $574,000, compared to $403,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2021. This increase was mainly due to equity awards granted to employees in the first quarter of 2022.

Government grants

In the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, we did not recognize any research and development grants. As of June 30, 2022, we had incurred liabilities to pay royalties to the Israel Innovation Authority of the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry of $169,000.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses include the salaries and related expenses of our commercial functions, consulting costs and other general costs. We anticipate that our commercial activities will increase in the future towards and following potential approval of our planned BLA submission for ORMD-0801.

Sales and marketing expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 were $970,000, compared to no expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to stock-based compensation expenses, salary related expenses and consulting expenses, mainly resulting from hiring our Chief Commercial Officer. Stock-based compensation costs for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 were $584,000, compared to no stock-based compensation expenses during the six month period ended June 30, 2021. This increase was mainly due to equity awards granted to an employee during fiscal year 2021 and in the first quarter of 2022.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 were $380,000, compared to no expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to stock-based compensation expenses, salary related expenses and consulting expenses, mainly resulting from hiring our Chief Commercial Officer. Stock-based compensation costs for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 were $220,000, compared to no stock-based compensation expenses during the three month period ended June 30, 2021. This increase was mainly due to equity awards granted to an employee during fiscal year 2021 and in the first quarter of 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

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

General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by 165% to $8,024,000, compared to $3,028,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to increases in stock-based compensation expenses, legal expenses and public relations and investor relations expenses. Stock-based compensation costs for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 were $4,190,000, compared to $944,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. This increase was mainly due to equity awards granted to directors and officers in the first quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by 31% to $2,532,000 compared to $1,926,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2021.

This increase was mainly due to equity awards granted to directors and officers in the first quarter of 2022.

Financial Income, Net

Net financial income was $894,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,082,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to loss from a revaluation of the shares we hold in Entera and D.N.A., partially offset by interest from short and long-term bank deposits.

Net financial income was $350,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $541,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to loss from a revaluation of the shares we hold in Entera and D.N.A., partially offset by interest from short and long-term bank deposits.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted loss per share of common stock for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by 69% to $0.54, compared to $0.32 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase in loss was mainly due to the higher net loss together with a higher number of weighted average shares of common stock in the six month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2021.

Basic and diluted loss per share of common stock for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by 125% to $0.27, compared to $0.12 for the three month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase in loss was mainly due to the higher net loss together with a higher number of weighted average shares of common stock in the three month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2021.

Weighted Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding

Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 were 38,732,636, compared to 29,347,635 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to shares issued in connection with our controlled equity offering and registered direct offering.

Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 were 38,795,318, compared to 30,716,982 for the three month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to shares issued in connection with our controlled equity offering and registered direct offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception through June 30, 2022, we have incurred losses in an aggregate amount of $147,478,000. During that period and through June 30, 2022, we have financed our operations through several private placements of our common stock, as well as public offerings of our common stock, raising a total of $244,393,000, net of transaction costs. During that period, we also received cash consideration of $27,938,000 from the exercise of warrants and options. We expect to seek to obtain additional financing through similar sources in the future, as needed. As of June 30, 2022, we had $29,892,000 of available cash, $122,604,000 of short-term and long-term bank deposits and $7,309,000 of marketable securities.

From inception through June 30, 2022, we have not generated significant revenues from our operations. Management continues to evaluate various financing alternatives for funding future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fundraising 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 future third party investments. Based on our current cash resources and commitments, we believe we will be able to maintain our current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months, although no assurance can be given that we will not need additional funds prior to such time.

If there are unexpected increases in our operating expenses, we may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months. Successful completion of our development programs and our transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA prior to selling our products within the United States, obtaining foreign regulatory approvals to sell our products internationally, or entering into licensing agreements with third parties. There can be no assurance that we will receive regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before we achieve a level of revenues adequate to support our operations, if at all. We also expect to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of our product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on our ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. We cannot predict the outcome of these activities.

As of June 30, 2022, our total current assets were $134,870,000 and our total current liabilities were $6,418,000. On June 30, 2022, we had a working capital surplus of $128,452,000 and an accumulated loss of $147,478,000. As of December 31, 2021, our total current assets were $147,937,000 and our total current liabilities were $7,368,000. On December 31, 2021, we had a working capital surplus of $140,569,000 and an accumulated loss of $126,520,000. The decrease in working capital from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 was mainly due to a decrease in short-term deposits.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $29,892,000, compared to $27,456,000 as of December 31, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the reasons described below.

Operating activities used cash of $17,615,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $8,350,000 used in the six month period ended June 30, 2021. Cash used in operating activities primarily consisted of research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses and changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses and stock-based compensation expenses.

Investing activities provided cash of $17,722,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to cash provided from investing activities of $8,794,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2021. Cash provided by investing activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2022 consisted primarily of the proceeds of short-term deposits and held to maturity securities, partially offset by the purchase of short-term deposits. Cash provided by investing activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2021 consisted primarily of the proceeds of short-term deposits, held to maturity securities and mutual funds, partially offset by the purchase of bonds held to maturity.

Financing activities provided cash of $2,291,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $57,552,000 provided in the six month period ended June 30, 2021. Cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and from the exercise of warrants and options.

On September 1, 2021, we entered into a controlled equity offering agreement, or the Cantor Equity Distribution Agreement, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as agent, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000, through a sales agent, subject to certain terms and conditions. Any shares sold will be sold pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 including a prospectus dated July 26, 2021 and prospectus supplement dated September 1, 2021. We paid the sales agent a cash commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sale of any shares sold through the sales agent under the Cantor Equity Sales Agreement. As of August 10, 2022, 1,061,363 shares were issued under the Cantor Equity Distribution Agreement for aggregate net proceeds of $17,233,000.

On November 3, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with several institutional and accredited investors, or the Purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, in a registered direct offering, or the Offering, an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to the Purchasers for an offering price of $25.00 per share. The closing of the sale of the shares occurred on November 5, 2021. The net proceeds to us from the Offering, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and expenses and the Company’s Offering expenses, were approximately $46,375,000.
