EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. Compensation Discussion and Analysis This section explains the policies and decisions that shape our executive compensation program, including its specific objectives and elements, as it relates to our “named executive officers,” or NEOs. Our NEOs for fiscal 2020 are those four individuals listed in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. The Compensation Committee believes that our executive compensation is appropriately designed to incentivize our named executive officers to work for our long-term prosperity, is reasonable in comparison with the levels of compensation provided by comparable companies and reflects a reasonable cost. We believe our named executive officers are critical to the achievement of our corporate goals, through which we can drive stockholder value. The Compensation Committee of our Board is comprised solely of independent directors as defined by Nasdaq and non-employee directors as defined by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Compensation Committee has the authority and responsibility to review and approve the compensation of our CEO and other executive officers. Other information concerning the structure, roles and responsibilities of our Compensation Committee is set forth in “Board Meetings and Committees—Compensation Committee” section. Our executive compensation program and our NEOs’ compensation packages are designed around the following objectives: ● attract, hire, and retain talented and experienced executives; ● motivate, reward and retain executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success; ● ensure fairness among the executive management team via recognizing the contributions of each executive to our success; ● focus executive behavior on achievement of our corporate objectives and strategy; and ● align the interests of management and stockholders by providing management with longer-term incentives through equity ownership. The Compensation Committee reviews the allocation of compensation components regularly to ensure alignment with strategic and operating goals, competitive market practices and legislative changes. The Compensation Committee does not apply a specific formula to determine the allocation between cash and non-cash forms of compensation. Certain compensation components, such as base salaries, benefits and perquisites, are intended primarily to attract, hire, and retain well-qualified executives. Other compensation elements, such as long-term incentive opportunities, are designed to motivate and reward performance. Long-term incentives are intended to reward NEOs for our long-term performance and executing our business strategy, and to strongly align NEOs’ interests with those of stockholders. With respect to equity compensation, the Compensation Committee makes awards to executives under our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, or the 2019 Plan. Executive compensation is paid or granted based on such matters as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, including our financial and operating performance and the alignment of the interests of the executive officers and our stockholders. 38 Elements of Compensation Our executive officer compensation program is comprised of: (i) base salary or monthly compensation; (ii) discretionary bonus; (iii) long-term equity incentive compensation in the form of stock option grants; and (iv) benefits and perquisites. In establishing overall executive compensation levels and making specific compensation decisions for our NEOs in fiscal 2020, the Compensation Committee considered a number of criteria, including the executive’s position, scope of responsibilities, prior base salary and annual incentive awards and expected contribution. Generally, our Compensation Committee reviews and, as appropriate, approves compensation arrangements for the NEOs from time to time but not less than once each year. The Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the CEO’s recommendations for executive compensation of the other NEOs. The CEO generally presents these recommendations at the time of our Compensation Committee’s review of executive compensation arrangements. Base Salary The Compensation Committee performs a review of base salaries and monthly compensation for our NEOs from time to time as appropriate. In determining salaries, the Compensation Committee members also take into consideration the scope of the NEOs’ responsibilities and independent third-party market data, such as compensation surveys to industry, individual experience and performance and contribution to our clinical, regulatory, commercial and operational performance. None of the factors above has a dominant weight in determining the compensation of our named executive officers, and our Compensation Committee considers the factors as a whole when considering such compensation. In addition, our Compensation Committee uses comparative data regarding compensation paid by peer companies in order to obtain a general understanding of current trends in compensation practices and ranges of amounts being awarded by other public companies, and not as part of an analysis or a formula. We believe that a competitive base salary and monthly compensation is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. We also believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance. Base salary and monthly compensation are established in part based on the individual experience, skills and expected contributions to our performance, as well as such executive’s performance during the prior year. Generally, we believe that executives’ base salaries should be targeted near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities, experience and performance at comparable companies. Compensation adjustments are made occasionally based on changes in an executive’s level of responsibility, company progress or on changed local and specific executive employment market conditions. In fiscal 2020, our Compensation Committee increased the base salaries of two of our NEOs by 10% and 15% as it deemed this to be a reasonable rate based on, among other factors, such NEO’s increased responsibilities and time passed since the last salary increase. Performance Based Bonus Our NEOs are eligible to receive discretionary annual bonuses based upon performance. The amount of annual bonus to our NEOs is based on various factors, including, among others, the achievement of scientific and business goals and our financial and operational performance. The Compensation Committee takes into account the overall performance of the individuals, as well as the overall performance of the Company over the period being reviewed and the recommendation of management. For any given year, the compensation objectives vary, but relate generally to strategic factors such as developments in our clinical path, the execution of a license agreement for the commercialization of product candidates, the establishment of key strategic collaborations, the build-up of our pipeline and financial factors such as capital raising. Bonuses are awarded generally based on corporate performance, with adjustments made within a range for individual performance, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determines, on a discretionary basis, the size of the entire bonus pool and the amount of the actual award to each NEO. The overall payment is also based on historic compensation of the NEOs. 39 We believe that annual bonuses payable based on the achievement of short-term corporate goals incentivize our NEOs to create stockholder value and attain short-term performance objectives. Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation Long-term incentive compensation allows the NEOs to share in any appreciation in the value of our common stock. The Compensation Committee believes that stock participation aligns executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders. Equity incentive awards are generally made at the commencement of employment and following a significant change in job responsibilities, or to meet other special retention or performance objectives. The amounts of the awards are designed to reward past performance and create incentives to meet long-term objectives. Awards are made at a level expected to be competitive within the biotechnology industry, as well as with Israeli-based companies. Awards are made on a discretionary basis and not pursuant to specific criteria set out in advance. In determining the amount of each grant, the Compensation Committee also takes into account the number of shares held by the executive prior to the grant. The vesting schedule for NEOs generally provides for annual installments for new grants, though the Compensation Committee also utilizes quarterly vesting from time to time, as well as performance-based vesting. The Compensation Committee believes that time-based vesting encourages recipients to build stockholder value over a long period of time and that performance-based vesting encourages recipients to achieve goals that benefit the Company. Benefits and Perquisites Generally, benefits available to NEOs are available to all employees on similar terms and include welfare benefits, paid time-off, life and disability insurance and other customary or mandatory social benefits in Israel. We provide our NEOs with a phone and a company car, which are customary benefits in Israel to managers and officers. We do not believe that the benefits and perquisites described above deviate materially from the customary practice for compensation of executive officers by other companies similar in size and stage of development in Israel. These benefits represent a relatively small portion of the executive officers’ total compensation. The Company pays for certain direct costs, related taxes and expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of our CEO to United States. During fiscal 2020, such relocation expenses totaled approximately $515,693, and included mainly payments intended to reflect the difference in the cost of living between Israel and the United States, relocation expenses, accommodation allowances, education allowances, health insurance and related taxes. Say-on-Pay Vote Our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation program at our annual meeting of stockholders held on August 3, 2020. We did not seek or receive any specific feedback from our stockholders concerning our executive compensation program during the past fiscal year. The Compensation Committee did not specifically rely on the results of the prior vote in making any compensation-related decisions during fiscal 2020. REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with our management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our proxy statement relating to our next annual meeting of stockholders.

Our executive officers did not receive additional compensation for service as directors. The Board may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of us other than services ordinarily required of a director. Other than as described above, we have no present formal plan for compensating our directors for their service in their capacity as directors. Other than indicated above, no director received and/or accrued any compensation for his services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments during fiscal 2020. 47 ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Stock Option Plans Our Board adopted the 2008 Plan and the 2019 Plan in order to attract and retain quality personnel. The 2008 Plan, which is no longer utilized for new grants, provided for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and stock appreciation rights, collectively referred to as “awards.” Under the 2008 Plan, as amended, 2,400,000 shares were reserved for the grant of awards. As of August 31, 2020, options with respect to 2,287,989 shares had been granted, of which 563,804 had been forfeited, 182,227 had been exercised and 841,303 have expired. As of August 31, 2020, 525,824 RSUs had been granted, of which 164,636 have vested and the shares of common stock underlying those RSUs have been issued and 33,248 have been forfeited. In August 2019, the Company became aware of a shareholder derivative claim and putative class action alleging, among other things, that the 2008 Plan may have terminated in 2018. However, the Company disputes these claims and believes that the 2008 Plan does not terminate until 2026, and any suggestion to the contrary is not well-founded. For the sake of clarity and out of an abundance of caution, the Company adopted the 2019 Plan, which was approved on August 29, 2019, at the Company’s 2019 shareholders meeting. The 2019 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and stock appreciation rights, collectively referred to as “awards.” Under the 2019 Plan, 1,000,000 shares were initially reserved for the grant of awards. On June 29, 2020, and August 3, 2020, respectively, our Board and stockholders approved to amend and restate the 2019 Plan, the principal change being an increase in the number of shares of common stock available under the 2019 Plan from 1,000,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares. Stock options granted under the 2019 Plan may be either incentive stock options under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or non-qualified stock options. Under the 2019 Plan, as amended, 3,000,000 shares are reserved for the grant of awards, which may be issued at the discretion of our Board from time to time. As of August 31, 2020, options with respect to 999,646 shares have been granted, of which 20,000 have expired and none of them were exercised or forfeited. No RSUs have been granted under the 2019 Plan. Since the Company had granted options during the time after the 2008 Plan allegedly terminated, and out of an abundance of caution, the Company canceled these grants and re-granted certain of the options under 2019 Plan in the same amounts and under the same terms as the original grants. The following table sets forth additional information with respect to our equity compensation plans as of August 31, 2020: Plan category Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, RSUs and rights (a) Weight- average exercise price of outstanding options, RSUs and rights (b) Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a)) (c) Equity compensation plans approved by security holders 1,864,664 $ 4.97 2,000,354 Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders -- -- -- Total 1,864,664 $ 4.97 2,000,354 48 Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of November 24, 2020 by: (1) each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock; (2) each director; (3) each of our NEOs listed above under “Summary Compensation Table”; and (4) all of our directors and current executive officers as a group.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. During fiscals 2020 and 2019, except for compensation arrangements described elsewhere herein, we did not participate in any transaction, and we are not currently participating in any proposed transaction, or series of transactions, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holders, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest. Our policy is to enter into transactions with related persons on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Based on our experience in the business sectors in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with unaffiliated third parties, we believe that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred. All related person transactions are approved by our Board. On November 30, 2015, we, our Israeli subsidiary and HTIT entered into a Technology License Agreement, which was further amended, according to which we granted HTIT an exclusive commercialization license in the Territory related to our oral insulin capsule, ORMD-0801. Pursuant to this license agreement, HTIT will conduct certain pre-commercialization and regulatory activities with respect to our subsidiary’s technology related to the ORMD-0801 capsule, and will pay certain royalties and an aggregate of approximately $37.5 million. On November 30, 2015, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement with HTIT, pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Kidron will serve as proxy and attorney in fact of HTIT, with full power of substitution, to cast on behalf of HTIT all votes that HTIT is entitled to cast with respect to the Purchased Shares at any and all meetings of our stockholders to consent or dissent to any action taken without a meeting and to vote all the Purchased Shares held by HTIT in any manner Mr. Kidron deems appropriate except for matters related to our activities in the People’s Republic of China, on which Mr. Kidron will consult with HTIT before taking any action as proxy. The Board has determined that Aviad Friedman, Arie Mayer, Kevin Rakin, Leonard Sank and Gao Xiaoming are independent as defined under the rules promulgated by Nasdaq. 50 ITEM 14.

(a) Index to Financial Statements The following consolidated financial statements are filed as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K: Page REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM F-1 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: Balance sheets F-2 Statements of comprehensive loss F-3 Statements of changes in stockholders’ equity F-4 Statements of cash flows F-5 Notes to financial statements F-6 - F-28 ________________ _____________________________ ________________ 52 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of their operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note 1(k) to the audited consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for revenues from contracts with customers during the year ended August 31, 2019. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Kesselman & Kesselman Kesselman & Kesselman Certified Public Accountants (Isr.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: a. General 1) Incorporation and operations Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, unless the context indicates otherwise) was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd. to acquire the provisional patent related to 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 March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. On July 30, 2019, the Company’s subsidiary incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, Oramed HK Limited (the “Hong Kong Subsidiary”). As of August 31, 2020, the Hong Kong Subsidiary has no operation. On November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (the “TLA”), with Hefei Tianhui Incubation 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 “License Agreement”). According to the 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 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 License Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration of the Royalty Term. The 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. F- 6 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): As of August 31, 2020, 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 $4,000, 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 the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020, and 2019. In addition, the dispute includes a payment obligation of $2,000 for certain milestones that the Company asserts it met under the TLA subsequent to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. 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 a Stock Purchase Agreement with HTIT (the “SPA”). According to the SPA, the Company issued 1,155,367 shares of common stock to HTIT for $12,000. The transaction closed on December 28, 2015. The License Agreement and the SPA were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the 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 License Agreement. Given the Company’s continuing involvement through the expected product submission (June 2023), amounts received relating to the License Agreement are recognized over the period from which the Company is entitled to the respective payment, and the expected product submission date using a time-based model approach over the periods that the fees are earned. 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 License Agreement. For the Company’s revenue recognition policy see note 1k. F- 7 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): 2) 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 the COVID-19 virus. However, the Company is continuing to assess the effect on its operation by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented by the governments to combat the virus throughout the world. b. Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). c. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statements date and the reported expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to stock-based compensation, expectation of milestone payments and to the expected product submission date for revenue recognition purposes. F- 8 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): d. Functional currency The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). Therefore, the functional currency of the Company and its Subsidiaries is the dollar. Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For foreign transactions and other items reflected in the statements of operations, the following exchange rates are used: (1) for transactions - exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates and (2) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation) - historical exchange rates. The resulting transaction gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, as appropriate. e. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. f. Cash equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents. g. Fair value measurement: 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 August 31, 2020, 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 3 was based on a Level 2 measurement. As of August 31, 2020, 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 August 31, 2020, 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. There were no Level 3 items for the years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019. F- 9 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): h. Marketable securities 1) Equity securities In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). The guidance requires entities to recognize changes in fair value in net income rather than in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the provisions of this update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Following the adoption, as of September 1, 2018, the Company classified the available for sale securities (investments in equity securities of D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd. (“D.N.A”), Entera Bio Ltd. (“Entera”) and other mutual funds) to financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method and, accordingly, reclassified the cumulative unrealized gain from accumulated other comprehensive income to a reduction of its accumulated deficit in an amount of $702. 2) Held to maturity securities All debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. On a continuous basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s marketable securities may be impaired, which includes reviewing the underlying cause of any decline in value and the estimated recovery period, as well as the severity and duration of the decline. In the Company’s evaluation, the Company considers its ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the Company to recover its cost basis. A marketable security is impaired if the fair value of the security is less than the carrying value of the security and such difference is deemed to be other-than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the security over the estimated fair value of the security. i. Concentration of credit risks Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term deposits and marketable securities which are deposited in major financial institutions. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respect of these balances is remote. As of the date of issuing these financial statements, all amounts due from HTIT with regard to the License Agreement have been received, as described in note 1 above. However, the balance of prepaid expenses and other current assets composed of $290 was due as an expenses reimbursement from HTIT. F- 10 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): j. Income taxes 1. Deferred taxes Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. See note 10. Regarding the Subsidiary, the recognition is prohibited for deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local currency into dollars using historical exchange rates, and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the abovementioned differences were not reflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Taxes that would apply in the event of disposal of investments in the Subsidiary have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as it is the Company’s intention to hold this investment, not to realize it. 2. Uncertainty in income tax The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such liabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within twelve months from the balance sheet date. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expenses. k. Revenue recognition The License Agreement and the SPA were considered a single arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company allocated the total consideration of $49,500 between the 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 License Agreement. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 (which was the authoritative revenue recognition guidance applied for all periods prior to September 1, 2018) given the Company’s continuing involvement through the expected product submission in June 2023, amounts received relating to the License Agreement were recognized over the period from which the Company was entitled to the respective payment, and the expected product submission date using a time-based model approach over the periods that the fees were earned. F- 11 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): On September 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under this method, the Company applied ASC 606 to the License Agreement at the adoption date and was required to make an adjustment to the September 1, 2018 opening accumulated deficit balance. All prior periods continue to be presented under ASC 605. The most significant impact from adopting ASC 606 was the impact of the timing of recognition of revenue associated with the milestone payment. Under ASC 605, which was the authoritative revenue recognition guidance applied for all periods prior to September 1, 2018, given the Company’s continuing involvement through the expected product submission in June 2023, amounts received relating to the License Agreement were recognized over the period from which the Company was entitled to the respective payment and the expected product submission date using a time-based model approach over the periods that the fees were earned. However, under ASC 606, the Company is required to recognize the total transaction price (which includes consideration related to milestones once the criteria for recognition have been satisfied) using the input method over the period the performance obligation is fulfilled. Accordingly, once the consideration associated with a milestone is included in the transaction price, incremental revenue is recognized immediately based on the period of time that has elapsed towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. This method results in the recognition of revenue earlier than under ASC 605, and the resulting impact was recorded as a reduction of the opening balance of accumulated deficit at September 1, 2018, as further described below. Under 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. F- 12 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) 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 at the earlier of the time (a) when the related sale has occurred and (b) the Company has fulfilled the related performance obligation. To date, the Company has not recognized any royalty-related revenue. As of the adoption date, the Company adjusted its accumulated deficit by $1,773 against contract liabilities due to the effect of variable consideration. Amounts that were allocated to the License Agreement as of August 31, 2020 aggregated $22,383, all of which was received through the balance sheet date. Through August 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue associated with this agreement in the aggregate amount of $12,732 (of which $2,710 was recognized in the twelve-months period ended August 31, 2020), and deferred the remaining amount of $9,650, which is presented as a contract liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. l. Cost of revenues Cost of revenues consists of royalties to the IIA related to the License Agreement with HTIT. The royalties are recognized when proceeds related to the License Agreement are received. m. Research and development Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, employee benefits, the cost of supplies, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services related to the Company’s clinical trials, clinical trial expenses and the full cost of manufacturing drug 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. The Company outsources a substantial portion of its clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as Clinical Research Organizations (“CROs”), independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist the Company with the execution of its clinical studies. For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, clinical trial costs are expensed immediately. F- 13 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): n. Stock-based compensation Equity awards granted to employees are accounted for using the grant date fair value method. The grant date fair value is determined as follows: for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with an exercise price using the Black Scholes pricing model, for stock options with market conditions using a Monte Carlo model and for RSUs with service conditions based on the grant date share price. The fair value of share based payment awards is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The expected term is the length of time until the expected dates of exercising the award and is estimated using the simplified method due to insufficient specific historical information of employees’ exercise behavior, unless the award includes a market condition, in which case the contractual term is used. The volatility is based on a historical volatility, by statistical analysis of the weekly share price for past periods. The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for awards granted to employees that have a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method based on the multiple-option award approach. For awards with only market conditions, compensation expense is not reversed if the market conditions are not satisfied. When stock options are granted as consideration for services provided by consultants and other non-employees, the transaction is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of the options granted to consultants and other non-employees is measured on a final basis at the end of the related service period using the Black Scholes pricing model and is recognized over the related service period using the straight-line method. The Company elects to account for forfeitures as they occur. On September 1, 2019 the Company adopted the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payments. This ASU was issued to simplify the accounting for share-based transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718 from only being applicable to share-based payments to employees to also include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. As a result, nonemployee share-based transactions are being measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, taking into consideration the probability of satisfying performance conditions. o. Loss per common share Basic and diluted net loss per common share are computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Outstanding stock options, warrants and 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 stock options, warrants and RSUs excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss was 5,025,723 and 4,423,325 for the years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Newly issued and recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements 1. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840). The new standard requires a lessee to record assets and liabilities on its balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the lessee’s income statement. The Company adopted this standard as of September 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and will not restate comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which, among other things, allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of its balance sheet. The Company recognized those lease payments in its statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease period. As of the adoption date, the Company recognized an operating lease asset and liability of $168 and $168, respectively, as of September 1, 2019 on its balance sheet. 2. On September 1, 2019 the Company adopted the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payments. This ASU was issued to simplify the accounting for share-based transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718 from only being applicable to share-based payments to employees to also include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. As a result, nonemployee share-based transactions are being measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, taking into consideration the probability of satisfying performance conditions. The adoption of this slandered had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. q. Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements, not yet adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. F- 15 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC.

In March 2011, the Subsidiary sold shares of its investee company, Entera, to 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 3). 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 right, title and interest in and to a certain patent application related to the oral administration of proteins that it has licensed to Entera since August 2010. Under this agreement, the Subsidiary is entitled to receive from Entera royalties of 3% of Entera’s net revenues (as defined in the agreement) and a license back of that patent application for use in respect of diabetes and influenza. As of August 31, 2020, Entera had not yet realized any revenues and 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 (the “Amgen License”) with Amgen related to research of inflammatory disease and other serious illnesses. As reported by Entera, under the terms of the Amgen License, Entera will receive a modest initial technology access fee from Amgen and will be responsible for preclinical development at Amgen’s expense. Entera will be eligible to receive up to $270,000 in aggregate payments, as well as tiered royalties up to mid-single digits, upon achievement of various clinical and commercial milestones if Amgen decides to move all of these programs forward. Amgen is responsible for clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of any of the resulting programs. To the extent the Amgen License results in net revenues as defined in the Patent Transfer Agreement, the Subsidiary will be entitled to the aforementioned royalties. In addition, 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.

On January 3, 2017, the Subsidiary entered into a lease agreement for its office facilities in Israel. The lease agreement is for a period of 60 months commencing October 1, 2016. The annual lease payment was New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) 119,000 ($35) from October 2016 through September 2018 and NIS 132,000 ($39) from October 2018 through September 2021, and is linked to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index (“CPI”). On August 2, 2020, the Subsidiary entered into a new lease agreement for its facilities in Israel. The new lease agreement is for a period of 60 months commencing September 1, 2020. The Company has the option to extend the period in another 60 months. The annual lease payment, including management fees, is NIS 435,000 ($130). The Company intends to terminate its current lease agreement before moving to the new office. As security for its obligation under these lease agreements, the Company provided a bank guarantee in an amount equal to three monthly lease payments. c. On December 18, 2017, the Subsidiary entered into an agreement with a vendor for the process development and production of one of its oral capsule ingredients in the amount of $2,905 that will be paid over the term of the engagement and based on the achievement of certain development milestones, of which $1,542 was recognized in research and development expenses through August 31, 2020. d. On September 2, 2020 (effective as of January 15, 2020), the Subsidiary entered into a CRO Services Agreement with a third party to retain it as a CRO for the Subsidiary’s phase 3 clinical trial for its oral insulin. As consideration for its services, the Subsidiary will pay the CRO a total amount of $21,589 during the term of the engagement and based on achievement of certain milestones, of which $178 was recognized in research and development expenses through August 31, 2020. e. On September 16, 2020 (effective as of January 15, 2020), the Subsidiary entered into a CRO Services Agreement with a third party to retain it as a CRO for the Subsidiary’s phase 3 clinical trial for its oral insulin. As consideration for its services, the Subsidiary will pay the CRO a total amount of $12,343 during the term of the engagement and based on achievement of certain milestones, of which $400 was recognized in research and development expenses through August 31, 2020. f. Grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) Under the terms of the Company’s funding from the IIA, royalties of 3% are payable on sales of products developed from a project so funded, up to a maximum amount equaling 100%-150% of the grants received (dollar linked) with the addition of interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR. At the time the grants were received, successful development of the related projects was not assured. The total amount that was received through August 31, 2020 was $2,207. All grants were received before fiscal year 2020 and recorded as a reduction of Research and development expenses at that time. The royalty expenses which are related to the funded project were recognized in cost of revenues in the year ended August 31, 2020 and in prior periods. g. Grants from the European Commission (“EC”) During fiscal year 2020, the Company received an aggregate payment of €50 from the EC under The European Innovation Council Accelerator (previously known as SME Instrument) of the European Innovation Programme Horizon 2020. As part of the grant terms, the Company is required to use the proceeds from the grant in Europe. The Company intends on using the grant to explore the possibility of running clinical trials in Europe. F- 19 ORAMED PHARMACEUTICALS INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY: The following are the significant capital stock transactions that took place during the years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019: a. In August 2019, the Company became aware of a shareholder derivative claim and putative class action alleging, among other things, that the Second Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) may have terminated in 2018. However, the Company disputed these claims and believes that the 2008 Plan does not terminate until 2026 and any suggestion to the contrary is not well-founded. For the sake of clarity and out of an abundance of caution, the Company adopted a new option plan, which was approved at its 2019 shareholder meeting. Such 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2019 Plan”) originally allowed the Company to grant up to 1,000,000 options. Since the Company had granted options during the time after the old plan allegedly terminated, and out of an abundance of caution, the Company canceled these grants and reissued the options under the new option plan in the same amounts and under the same terms as the original grants. The cancelation and grants were approved by the Company’s board on September 11, 2019. Out of the available options under the 2019 Plan, the Company have been granted 563,646 to replace the options under dispute as mentioned above. The cancellation of the award accompanied by the concurrent grant of a replacement award was accounted for as modification of the terms of the cancelled award. Since the replacement award was given under the same terms as the cancelled award, no incremental compensation cost was recognized. On August 3, 2020, the stockholders of the Company adopted the amended and restated 2019 Plan which increased the shares available to grant under the plan by an additional 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 options. b. On September 5, 2019, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time and at the Company’s option, issue and sell shares of Company common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $15,000, through a sales agent, subject to certain terms and conditions. Any shares sold will be sold pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 including a prospectus and prospectus supplement, each dated February 10, 2020 (which superseded a prior registration statement, prospectus and prospectus supplement that related to shares sold under the Sales Agreement). The Company will pay 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 Sales Agreement. As of August 31, 2020, 839,357 shares were issued under the Sales Agreement for aggregate net proceeds of $3,879. c. On February 27, 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (“Agreement”) with National Securities Corporation (“Underwriter”), in connection with a public offering (“Offering”) of 5,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an offering price of $4.00 per share. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase from the Company up to an additional 787,500 shares of common stock at the public offering price (“Over-Allotment Option”). In connection with the Offering, the Company also agreed to issue to the Underwriter, or its designees, warrants (“Underwriter’s Warrants”), to purchase up to an aggregate of 7% of the shares of common stock sold in the Offering (including any additional shares sold during the 45-day option period), at an exercise price of $4.80 per share. The Underwriter’s Warrants issued in the Offering will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing six months from issuance for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The closing of the sale of the Offering occurred on March 2, 2020. On April 9, 2020, the Company issued 180,561 shares of Common Stock and 12,640 Underwriter’s Warrants pursuant to a partial exercise by the Underwriter of the Over-Allotment Option (“Partial Over-Allotment Option Exercise”). The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, including from the Partial Over-Allotment Option Exercise, after deducting the underwriting discount and the Company’s estimated Offering expenses were $19,894. d. As of August 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding warrants exercisable commencing January 6, 2019 for 3,407,820 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $4.80 to $7.8125 per share and expiring from January 6, 2022 to April 10, 2029.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 8 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: The Company makes awards only under the 2019 Plan, under which, the Company had reserved a pool of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which may be issued at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time. Under this 2019 Plan, each option is exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company. The options may be exercised after vesting and in accordance with vesting schedules which will be determined by the Board of Directors for each grant. The maximum term of the options is 10 years. The following are the significant stock options transactions with employees, board members and non-employees made during the years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019: a. On February 26, 2019, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.16 per share (equivalent to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant) as follows: 196,500 to the CEO; 104,000 to the CSO; and 59,500 to employees of the Subsidiary. 49,125, 26,000 and 14,875 options of the CEO, CSO and the employees, respectively, were vested and the remainder will vest in three equal annual installments on each of December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. These options expire on February 26, 2029. The fair value of all these options on the date of grant was $731, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and was based on the following assumptions: stock price of $3.16; dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 69.05%; risk-free interest rates of 2.54%; and expected term of 6.25 years. b. On April 10, 2019 and April 15, 2019, the Company granted options to its directors to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $4.17 and $4.13 per share, respectively (equivalent to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant). 20,000 of such options vested immediately and the remaining 10,000 options vested on December 31, 2019. The fair value of all these options on the date of grant was $64, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and was based on the following assumptions: stock price of $4.13 and $4.17, respectively; dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 54.64% and 66.40%, respectively; risk-free interest rates of 2.37% and 2.28%, respectively; and expected term of 5 and 5.5 years, respectively. c. On June 17, 2019, the Company granted options to its chief financial officer to purchase an aggregate of 33,146 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.55 per share (equivalent to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant). 5,396 of such options vested will vest on December 31, 2019 and the remaining 27,750 will vest in 3 equal installments on each of December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of all these options on the date of grant was $74, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and was based on the following assumptions: stock price of $3.55; dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 67.79%; risk-free interest rates of 2.03%; and expected term of 6.25 years. d. On September 11, 2019, the Company granted options to its chief business and operation officer to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.69 per share (equivalent to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant). The options shall vest in 16 equal installments of 6,250 on the first day of every three months period beginning November 1, 2019. As of August 31, 2020, 25,000 of such options are vested.
