4 Investment Highlights
Capsitonin Phase I/IIa clinical trial for “osteoporosis” completed Capsitonin Pre-IND meeting held with FDA in December 2005 Rapid regulatory process / strategy for Capsitonin- bioequivalence & 505(b)(2) NDA submission Perthoxal- oral parathyroid hormone for “osteoporosis” Phase I clinical study completed New, unique oral formulation technology with robust IP and long patent life “Multi-billion” dollar market opportunity(s) for both Capsitonin and Perthoxal Balanced portfolio between lower-risk drug delivery programs and potential breakthrough future treatments Experienced management with experience in science, management and capital markets CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

5 Market Opportunity Osteoporosis Osteoarthritis Treatments
Approximately 200 million women worldwide Incidence is expected to “double” in the next 50 years Estimated US$48.0 million spent to treat disease in North America and in Europe Osteoarthritis Over 20 million people in the U.S. alone Most common form of arthritis, approximately 5-10% of population will develop Treatments Calcitonin (sCT): US$600 million Injectable and Nasal forms only (no oral form available) Parathyroid Hormone (PTH): US$450 million Injectable form only (no oral from available) Sources: International Osteoporosis Foundation, CDC, Mayo Clinic, NIAMS, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

6 Market Need Osteoporosis Osteoarthritis (and rheumatoid arthritis)
Painful and debilitating Worldwide cost burden to reach US$131.5 billion by 2050 Only 1 in 2 vertebral fractures diagnosed by a physician Less than 20% of Osteoporosis patients receive timely treatment Osteoarthritis (and rheumatoid arthritis) Painful, physically and emotionally debilitating 25% of persons “cannot” perform major daily activities (e.g., lifting, climbing stairs) “There are no oral formulations available for calcitonin or parathyroid hormone limiting the number of treated patients” CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

7 Product Pipeline Capsitonin (“oral” sCT) Perthoxal (“oral” PTH)
Products / Compounds R&D Pre-clinical Phase I Phase II Phase III NDA Capsitonin (“oral” sCT) Therapeutic peptide 1° Osteoporosis, 2°Osteoarthritis Studies (trials) designed to support bioequivalence and 505(b)(2) FDA submissions Perthoxal (“oral” PTH) Therapeutic peptide Osteoporosis BN007 (collagen tolerance) Oral Immune therapy Rheumatoid Arthritis BN006 (TNF down-regulator) BN008 (Osteoclast down-reg) BN005 (Osteoblast up-reg) Novel therapeutic entities Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

8 “Calcitonin has been used
Lead Compound “Calcitonin has been used Safely as a treatment for osteoporosis for over 30 years!” Capsitonin Oral Capsule (synthetic salmon calcitonin peptide) Synthetic peptide of salmon calcitonin Mechanism of Action: Calcitonin aids in the “formation of new bone” by interfering with osteoclast activity. Use/Indication: Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis Side Effects: Mild, some joint ache, headache CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

9 Enteric coating for easy swallowing
Novel Oral Formulation New, proprietary oral drug delivery technology Enteric coating for easy swallowing Capsule Contents: Drug, stabilizers, solublizers, protease inhibitors, various GRAS pharmaceutical excipients Gastric (stomach) cellular surface Capsule contents Improved transcellular absorption Recombinant peptides (Capsitonin and Perthoxal) are protected from gastric degradation Released in the upper intestine in an area with high peptide absorption Utilizes existing approved substances and/or excipients Opportunity for rapid 505(b)(2) FDA submission CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

10 Capsitonin Oral Capsule
Background Existing injectable and nasal formulations of calcitonin are difficult to administer affecting patient compliance and limiting its use as a treatment option To date, an “oral” formulation of calcitonin has been unable to be developed Capsitonin Pre-clinical / Proof-of-concept Decrease in plasma calcium following oral (tablet) administration of Capsitonin in pigs compared to subcutaneous (injection) minutes Increase in total plasma Capsitonin following oral (tablet) administration of to primates Novartis Study hours CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

11 Capsitonin - Phase I/IIa
Study Objective Phase I/IIa open label safety & tolerability and preliminary efficacy / activity Study Design 12 post-menopausal, female volunteers Sequential, cross-over design Positive control (Miacalcin Nasal) – active comparator 1250iu Capsitonin 2500iu Capsitonin Measurement of key biomarkers: serum calcitonin, serum CTX, and blood calcium CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

12 Capsitonin - Phase I/IIa
Study Results / Outcomes The study showed that Capsitonin can be delivered orally and exert a statistically significant biological effect Measurement of markers of bone breakdown in the blood showed that Capsitonin reduced bone destruction Calcitonin (in a small number of patients) was measured in blood Calcium levels in the blood were also reduced as expected Safe and well tolerated CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.

13 effects of parathyroid
Lead Compound “The bone forming effects of parathyroid hormone have been known for 70 years!” Perthoxal Oral Capsule (synthetic parathyroid hormone peptide) Synthetic peptide of the human hormone Mechanism of Action: A controlling agent for maintaining normal calcium levels in the blood for strong bone formation of new bone.

14 Perthoxal Oral Capsule
Background Existing injectable and nasal formulations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are difficult to administer affecting patient compliance and limiting its use as a treatment option To date, an “oral” formulation of PTH has been unable to be developed Perthoxal Pre-clinical / Proof-of-concept: Time [hours] 2 4 6 8 10 1 3 5 Calcemia [% change] 0.0 4.0 8.0 12.0 500ug PTH orally 50ug PTH s.c. injection Increase in total plasma calcium following oral (tablet) administration of PTH to primates Increase in plasma calcium following oral (tablet) administration of PTH in primates compared to subcutaneous (injection) CONFIDENTIAL  2006 Bone Medical Ltd.
