Impact of recently issued accounting standards:
 
 
In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 “ASU 2010-20” Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses". ASU 2010-20 is an update of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310, Receivables. This update requires enhanced disclosures on a disaggregated basis about the nature of the credit risk inherent in the portfolio of financing receivables; how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses; and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses.
 
 
The disclosures required under ASU 2010-20 as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of the update does not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Convertible Debenture (Cont.):
 
 
In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company allocated the consideration paid for the convertible debenture and the warrants as follows:
 
 
The warrants were recorded as a liability based on their fair value in the amount of $951 at grant date. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: volatility of 83%, risk free interest rate of 4.8%, dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 36 months. Changes in the fair value are recorded as interest income or expense, as applicable.
 
 
The fair value of the conversion feature of the debentures at grant date, in the amount of $1,951 was recorded as a liability.
 
 
The balance of the consideration, in the amount of $97, was allocated to the debentures. The discount in the amount of $2,903 was amortized according to the effective rate interest method over the debentures contractual period (24 months).
 
 
The fair value of the warrants issued as a finder’s fee and the finder’s fee in cash amounted to $535 and were recorded as deferred issuance expenses and are amortized over the Debentures’ contractual period. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black - Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: volatility of 83%, risk free interest rate of 4.8%, dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 36 months.
 
 
According to ASC 815-40, in order to classify warrants and options (other than employee stock options) as equity and not as liabilities, the Company should have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to provide for settlement of those instruments that may require share settlement. Under the terms of the Debentures, the Company may be required to issue an unlimited number of shares to satisfy the debenture’s contractual requirements. As such, on April 3, 2006, the Company’s warrants and options (other than employee stock options) were classified as liabilities and measured at fair value with changes recognized currently in earnings.
 
 
As of November 9, 2006, all of the Debentures, were converted into 969,815 shares. As a result, an amount of $1,787 was reclassified into common stock and additional paid-in capital as follows: from conversion of the feature embedded in convertible debenture ($1,951), convertible debenture ($202), accrued interest ($74) net of issuance expenses in the amount of $440. In addition, the warrants and options to consultants in the amount of $476 and deferred issuance expenses in the amount of $379 were reclassified as equity.
 
 
Pursuant to an investor relations agreement dated April 28, 2006, the Company paid in cash an amount of $440 on October 19, 2006 and issued 50,000 common shares on November 9, 2006 to certain service providers following reaching certain milestones regarding the conversion of the Debentures as agreed to by the parties.
 
 
During the year ended June 30, 2007, 186,529 of the warrants which were issued on April 3, 2006, were exercised. 75,692 warrants were exercised into shares in consideration for $1,022 (net of cash exercise costs of $114), and 110,836 warrants were exercised cashless into 46,674 shares.   On April 30, 2009, the rest of the warrants expired unexercised.

The consideration was paid partly prior to the issuance of the shares in the year ended June 30, 2007 ($368) and was recorded as receipts on account of shares and the balance was paid during July and August 2007.
 
 
As part of May 2007 Agreement, the Company signed an escrow agreement according to which the Company granted an option to an investor to invest, under the same conditions defined in the May 2007 Agreement, up to $5,000 which will be paid in monthly installments over 10 months starting six months subsequent to the closing date. According to the agreement, in the event that the investor fails to make any of the payments within five days of the payment due date, the option to invest the remaining amount will be cancelled. As a result of this agreement, the Company issued 634,580 shares of the Company’s common stock and 634,580 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock in consideration for $1,561 (net of cash issuance costs of $25). As of March 31, 2008 the option was cancelled.
 
 
The total proceeds related to the May 2007 Agreement accumulated as of June 30, 2008 were $9,997 (net of cash issuance costs of $89), and 4,034,585 shares and 4,034,585 warrants were issued.

p.
In the May 2007 Agreement, there is a provision that requires the Company for a period of four years (subject to acceleration under certain circumstances) not to sell any of the Company’s common stock for less than $0.0125 per share (pre-split price). The May 2007 Agreement provides that any sale below that price must be preceded by consent from each purchaser in the placement.
 
 
Since that date, the Company had effected a one-for-200 reverse stock split.  The Company decided to proceed and enter into additional security purchase agreements notwithstanding this provision for the following reasons:
 
 
·
The agreement does not contain any provisions for the adjustment of the specified minimum price in the event of stock splits and the like. If such agreement were to have contained such a provision, the floor price would be $2.50.
 
 
·
The majority of purchasers in the private placement have sold the stock purchased in the placement, and thus the number of purchasers whose consent is purportedly required has been substantially reduced. The number of shares outstanding as to which this provision currently applies according the information supplied by transfer agent is 2 million shares.
 
 
·
An agreement that prevents the Company’s Board of Directors from issuing shares that are necessary to finance the Company’s business may be unenforceable.
 
 
It is unclear what could be the consequences of a court decision that the issuance of shares below $2.50 per share violates the May 2007 Agreement.
 
 
In connection therewith, the Company approved the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 161,724 shares of its common stock to each of the investors who was a party to the May 2007 Agreement that held shares purchased pursuant to such agreement, as of August 6, 2008, conditioned on having the investors execute a general release pursuant to which the Company will be released from liability including, but not limited to, any claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of, relating to, or regarding sales of certain equity securities notwithstanding the above mentioned provision.  As of December 31, 2010 the Company received a general release from some of the investors, and issued them warrants to purchase 105,583 shares of its common stock.  On November 9, 2010, all of such warrants expired unexercised.
 
q.
On August 6, 2008, the Company sold 1,391,304 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 695,652 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 to two investors in consideration of $1,600 pursuant to terms of a securities purchase agreement. The placement agent received a placement fee equal to 6% of the gross purchase price of the Units (excluding any consideration that may be paid in the future upon exercise of the warrants) as well as warrants to purchase 83,478 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. The warrants will be exercisable after six months from the closing date through and including August 5, 2013.  Total cash issuance costs related to this placement amounted to $125.

The Company has approved two incentive option plans from 2003 and from 2005 (the “2003 Plan" and the “2005 Plan”, and collectively, the “Plans”).  Under these Plans, options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (the “Awards”) may be granted to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants.
 
 
Each option granted under the 2005 Plan, as it was amended and restated on January 21, 2009, is exercisable through the expiration date of the 2005 Plan, which is December 31, 2018, unless stated otherwise.  The Awards vest over two years from the date of grant, as follows: 25% vests six months after the date of grant, and the remaining Awards vest monthly, in equal instalments over 18 months unless other vesting schedules are specified.  Any Awards that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants.
 
 
As of December 31, 2010, the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2005 Plan amounted to 7,273,296.  305,447 shares are still available for future grant under the 2005 Plan as of December 31, 2010.  Under the 2003 Plan 20,500 options are authorized for issuance, and 12,870 options are still available for future grant.

NOTE 4: - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
a.
During January 2011, 1,754,560 warrants were exercised in consideration for $3,082, and 570,982 warrants were exercised on a cashless basis for 287,231 shares of common stock.
 
b.
On February 1, 2011, the Company closed a public offering of 11,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of the Company's common stock and one warrant to purchase 0.4 of a share of common stock, at a purchase price of $3.25 per unit. The warrants in the offering will generally be exercisable for a period of five years commencing 6 months following issuance, at an exercise price of $4.20 per share.  The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase from the Company up to an additional 1,650,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase up to 660,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised their overallotment option in full thereby increasing the number of units sold by the company by additional 1,650,000. The net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $38,000, assuming no exercise of the warrants and after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts and estimated expenses payable by the company associated with the offering.

Overview

We are a bio-therapeutics company dedicated to the commercialization of non-personalized (allogeneic) cell therapy products for the treatment of several severe degenerative, ischemic and autoimmune disorders.  We are developing a pipeline of products, stored ready-to-use, that are derived from human placenta, a non-controversial, non-embryonic, adult stromal cell source. The placental adherent stromal cells, or ASCs, are grown in the company's proprietary PluriX™ three-dimensional bioreactor, which imitates the natural microstructure of the body.

Our first product in development, PLX-PAD, is intended to improve the quality of life of millions of people suffering from peripheral artery disease, or PAD.
 
We are currently focusing on clinical indications that the route of administration is intramuscular, which means that the cells are administrated locally to the muscle and not systemically. This route of administration may be applicable for several different indications, such as: PAD, critical limb ischemia, or CLI, intermittent claudication, or IC, neuropathic pain, wound healing and orthopedic injuries.  In addition, we have reported our pre-clinical studies utilizing our proprietary PLX during the systemic administration in treating for multiple sclerosis, ischemic stroke, and inflammatory bowel disease.
 
Recent Developments
 
On December 12, 2010, the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE, approved the listing of our shares of common stock for trading on the TASE beginning on December 19, 2010, under the ticker symbol PLTR.

We announced on January 18, 2011 that we successfully completed a parallel scientific advisory process with the European Medical Agencies, or the EMA, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, regarding our planned clinical development program for PLX-PAD.
 
We plan to conduct two clinical studies of PLX-PAD, and to file the necessary regulatory documentation requesting the joint approval of the FDA-EMA for a Phase II/III study of PLX-PAD for CLI and a joint approval of the FDA and the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) in Germany to conduct a Phase II study for IC.
 
In February 2011 we raised approximately $38 million in a firm commitment underwritten public offering.  See ‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’.
 
Other Information

We have not generated revenues since our inception.  Historically, we have relied on private placement issuances and public offerings of equity, as well as on governmental grants, to fund our operations.

We do not expect to generate revenues from sales of products in the next 12 months, and therefore we plan to continue to finance our operations from our existing cash resources and governmental grants.  Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our products and the degree to which competitive products are introduced to the market.  Our products will likely not be ready for sale for at least three years, if at all.  We believe that the funds we have, which include net proceeds of approximately $5 million from a private placement that we closed in October, 2010, or the October 2010 Offering, and approximately $38 million from a public offering that we closed in February, 2011, together with an approved R&D grant from the Israeli Office of Chief Scientist, or the OCS, will be sufficient for operating until at least the end of calendar year of 2013.  As long as our cash flows from operations remain insufficient to fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through governmental grants or equity financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of the company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 COMPARED TO SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009.
 
We have not generated any revenues, and we have negative cash flow from operations of $25,357,000 and have accumulated a deficit of $44,615,000 since our inception in May 2001. This negative cash flow is mostly attributable to research and development, clinical studies and general and administrative expenses. We estimate our operating cash expenses, net of OCS participation, in the next 12 months will be approximately $8,000,000.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses, net of participation of the OCS, for the six months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 42% from $1,814,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $2,576,000.  This increase is attributed to the increase in our research and development activity and the progress of our clinical studies, including hiring 8 new employees since December 2009.
 
Research and development expenses, net of participation of the OCS, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 67% from $947,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $1,578,000.  This increase is attributed to the increase in our research and development activity and the progress of our clinical studies, including hiring 8 new employees since December 2009.

General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 22% from $1,645,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $2,002,000 mainly due to stock-based compensation expenses which increased in approximately $300,000.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 42% from $875,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $1,246,000 due to an increase in stock-based compensation expenses.
 
Financial Income, net
 
Financial income increased from $11,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $68,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 due to exchange rate adjustments.
 
Financial income increased from an expense of $9,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to income of $3,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 also due to exchange rate adjustments.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010 was $4,510,000 and $2,821,000, respectively, as compared to net loss of $3,448,000 and $1,831,000 for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009, respectively. Net loss per share for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010 was $0.20 and $0.11, respectively, as compared to $0.22 and $0.10 for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2010, total current assets were $5,531,000 and total current liabilities were $1,479,000. On December 31, 2010, we had a working capital surplus of $4,052,000 and an accumulated deficit of $44,615,000. We finance our operations and plan to continue doing so from our existing cash, funds from grants from the OCS and issuances of our securities.
 
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 amounted to $4,739,000.  This is an increase of $3,156,000 from the $1,583,000 reported as of June 30, 2010. Cash balances increased in the six months ended December 31, 2010 for the reasons presented below.
 
Operating activities used cash of $2,219,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010. Cash used by operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily consisted of payments of salaries to our employees, and payments of fees to our consultants, subcontractors and professional services providers including costs of the clinical studies, less research and development grants by the OCS.

Investing activities provided cash of $367,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010. The investing activities consisted primarily of repayments of short-term deposits, offset by investments in equipment for our R&D facilities and construction of a new research lab.

Financing activities generated cash of $5,008,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2010.  Substantially all of such amount is attributable to the October 2010 Offering.

On October 18, 2010, we closed the October 2010 Offering, pursuant to which we sold 4,375,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.20 per share and warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price per share of $1.80.  No separate consideration was paid for the warrants.  The warrants have a term of four years and are exercisable starting six months following the issuance thereof.   The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the shares and the warrants were approximately $5,006,000. 
 
In connection with the October 2010 Offering, we paid a transaction fee to finders in an amount of $244,000 in cash and issued them warrants to purchase 151,050 shares of our common stock.  We also agreed to file a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants within 60 days from closing.  The registration statement was filed and on December 10, 2010 it became effective.

On February 1, 2011, we closed a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 11,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase 0.4 of a share of common stock, at a purchase price of $3.25 per unit. The warrants in the offering will generally be exercisable for a period of five years commencing 6 months following issuance, at an exercise price of $4.20 per share.  Also, on February 1, 2011 we closed the exercise by the underwriters of their full overallotment option to purchase an additional 1,650,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 660,000 shares of common stock.  The net proceeds to us were approximately $38 million, after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts and estimated expenses payable by us associated with the offering.

During January 2011, 1,754,560 warrants were exercised in consideration for $3,082,190, and 570,982 warrants were exercised on a cashless basis for 287,231 shares of stock.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010 we received approximately $1,286,000 from the OCS towards our R&D expenses.  The OCS has supported our activity in the past five years. Our current program approved by the OCS is for the period March 2010 until February 2011.  On March 2011 we plan to file an application for a sixth year program. There is no assurance that the OCS will approve a grant for another year's R&D activity, the amount of the grant is also not certain.

We believe that the funds we have, together with the approved R&D grant from the OCS, will be sufficient for operating until at least the end of calendar year of 2013.

Our management believes that we may need to raise additional funds before we have cash flow from operations that can materially decrease our dependence on our existing cash and other liquidity resources. We are continually looking for sources of funding, including non-diluting sources such as the OCS grants.  We have an effective shelf registration statement which we used in a recent public offering we made and may continue to use in the future to raise additional funds.
