The rest of the terms in this report shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the 20-F Annual Report, unless stated explicitly otherwise.
 
In accordance with reporting requirements in Israel, Elron filed an annual report for 2014 in Hebrew with the Israeli Securities Authority ("ISA Annual Report"), simultaneously with its 20-F Annual Report. For the convenience of the Company's U.S. based shareholders, in translating Part I of this report from Hebrew to English, changes and updates are given in reference to the 20-F Annual Report, rather than the ISA Annual Report filed in Hebrew.
 
The matters described below are in addition to the developments and changes that occurred in the second quarter of 2015 that were described in Part I of the Company's Quarterly Report for the First Quarter of 2015.

Item 3D – Risk Factors: Risks Affecting Us and the Companies in Our Group
 
 
1.1.
If we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences
 
For our 2014 tax year, we stated in our 20-F Annual Report that if we did not qualify for the "change of business exception", we believed that we would be classified as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for such tax year.  In order to meet the requirements of the change of business exception, the following must apply: (1) we were never classified as a PFIC prior to 2014, (2) substantially all of our passive income for 2014 was attributable to proceeds from the disposition of one or more active trades or businesses and (3) we shall not be classified as a PFIC in 2015 and 2016. Based on an analysis conducted by us and our tax advisors with respect to our 2014 tax year, we believed that it was likely that we met requirements (1) and (2), and whether we would satisfy requirement (3) would be determined based on the deployment of our cash resources during 2015 and 2016.  Our PFIC status is determined annually and we cannot determine our PFIC status for 2015 until the close of our 2015 taxable year. However, after a preliminary examination, based on the first six months of 2015, we believe there is a significant risk that we may be classified as a PFIC for 2015.  In such case, the change of business exception would not apply to us for our 2014 tax year.
 
For further details, please refer to Item 10E – Taxation: Tax Consequences If We Are a Passive Foreign Investment Company, in our 20-F Annual Report.
 
Our U.S. shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors, regarding the tax consequences to them for both 2014 and 2015 if we are classified as a PFIC during such years, including any special elections that may be available to them.

Item 4A – Information on the Company: History and Development of the Company
 
 
2.1.
Non-Binding Letter of Intent Regarding Acquisition of Kyma
 
In June 2015, Kyma notified Elron that it signed a non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with a non-affiliated  third party regarding a potential acquisition of Kyma in consideration for an immediate cash payment of $35 million (the "Immediate Consideration") and additional contingent cash consideration in the form of (i) earn-out payments calculated as a multiple of year-on-year revenue growth from the sale of Kyma's product for a period of 4.5 years and (ii) payments per unit manufactured of any product developed  by the potential acquirer incorporating Kyma's technology for a period of 5.5 years (together the "Contingent Consideration") (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is pending the continuing due diligence of the potential acquirer and the execution of a definitive agreement by the parties and is subject to customary regulatory and corporate approvals. There is no assurance as to the execution of a definitive agreement, its terms, the completion of the Transaction and the timing thereof. According to the Letter of Intent, if the Transaction is consummated, RDC is expected to receive approximately $19 million of the Immediate Consideration and, accordingly, Elron would record a net gain of approximately $7 million representing Elron's share of the net gain estimated at this stage to be recorded by RDC from the Immediate Consideration (a consolidated gain of approximately $14 million). Elron is currently examining the accounting treatment in connection with the Contingent Consideration. For further details see Note 3D to the Financial Statements.
 
 
2.2.
Investments
 
In the first half of 2015, Elron (directly and indirectly) invested approximately $11.7 million in group companies. For further details see Section 1.4 of the Board of Directors Report and Note 3 to the Financial Statements.

Part II
English Translation of Board of Directors Report
for the Second Quarter of 2015
 
1. Board of Directors' Analysis of the Company's Business

1.1.6. Factors affecting the results of operations and capital resources
 
As a holding company, Elron's operating results mainly derive from:
 
 
·
its share in the net losses of Group Companies;
 
 
·
gains or losses from exit transactions or changes in holdings, and revaluation of investments recorded based on fair value;
 
 
·
its corporate activities.
 
Elron's capital resources in any given period are primarily affected by:
 
 
·
the extent of its investments;
 
 
·
proceeds from exit transactions;
 
 
·
available credit lines or loans;
 
 
·
dividends distributed to shareholders or received from Group Companies.
 
Most of the Group Companies are technology companies which have not yet generated significant revenues, if at all, and which invest considerable resources in development and record losses. As a result, Elron has recorded and is expected to continue to record losses in respect of their ongoing operations, based on the accounting method applied to them in the Financial Statements.
 
The technology field in which the Group Companies operate are characterized by a high degree of risk. The Group Companies' success is dependent, among other things, upon: their intellectual property and ability to protect it; their ability to raise financing; their ability to successfully complete their products' development and receive regulatory clearance to market them, including through clinical trials; their ability to make the transition from development to manufacturing stages; their ability to market their products on a significant commercial scale; their ability to develop additional products; and their ability to successfully compete in the markets in which they operate.
 
Elron's ability to effect exit transactions at significant values is affected, among other things, by economic conditions, market conditions in the hi-tech and/or the medical devices industry, the status of the venture capital industry, the status of the capital markets, various contractual and regulatory restrictions, and is also dependent on management's ability to successfully lead exit transactions, and the circumstances and characteristics of the group company whose sale is being considered.
 
In addition, Elron's and the Group Companies' ability to obtain external financing is affected by economic conditions, the status of the capital markets, and the status of the venture capital industry.

1.2. Description of Operations in the Period of this Report and Subsequently
 
1.2.1.  Exit Transactions
 
 
·
Kyma- In June 2015, Kyma signed a non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with a non-affiliated  third party regarding a potential acquisition of Kyma in consideration for an immediate cash payment of $35 million (the "Immediate Consideration") and additional contingent cash consideration in the form of (i) earn-out payments calculated as a multiple of year-on-year revenue growth from the sale of Kyma's product for a period of 4.5 years and (ii) payments per unit manufactured of any product developed by the potential acquirer incorporating Kyma's technology for a period of 5.5 years (together the "Contingent Consideration") ("the Transaction").
 
The Transaction is pending the continuing due diligence of the potential acquirer and the execution of a definitive agreement by the parties and is subject to customary regulatory and corporate approvals. There is no assurance as to the execution of a definitive agreement, its terms, the completion of the Transaction and the timing thereof. According to the Letter of Intent, if the Transaction is consummated, RDC is expected to receive approximately $19 million of the Immediate Consideration and, accordingly, Elron would record a net gain of approximately $7 million representing Elron’s share of the net gain estimated at this stage to be recorded by RDC from the Immediate Consideration (a consolidated gain of approximately $14 million). Elron is currently examining the accounting treatment in connection with the Contingent Consideration (for further details see Note 3.D to the financial statements).
 
1.2.2. Investments
 
 
·
In the first half of 2015, Elron (directly and indirectly) invested approximately $11.7 million in the Group Companies. For further details see section 1.4 below and Note 3 to the Financial Statements.
 
 
·
Increase of holdings in Pocared - In February 2015, Elron and other shareholders invested in Pocared an amount of $5 million (Elron's share was approximately $4.5 million). Following the completion of this investment, Elron's holding in Pocared's outstanding shares increased to approximately 53%, and to approximately 50% on a fully diluted basis, and for the first time, Elron was granted the right to appoint a majority of the directors serving on the Board of Directors of Pocared. As a result and beginning February 2015, Pocared became a consolidated company and accordingly, Elron recorded a gain in the first quarter of 2015 in the amount of approximately $10 million with respect to the re-measurement of the fair value of Elron's shareholdings in Pocared prior to the consolidation (for further details see Note 3.A to the financial statements).
 
In July 2015, subsequent to the reporting date, some of Pocared's shareholders, including Elron, granted Pocared a loan in the amount of $3 million. Elron's share in this loan was approximately $2.7 million.
 
 
·
Investment in BrainsGate - In January 2015, an investment agreement in BrainsGate in the amount of $26 million was signed. The investment round was led by a leading global healthcare products company, with the participation of additional shareholders of BrainsGate, including Elron. Elron's share in the total investment amount is approximately $7.8 million. The first installment in the amount of $11 million was invested immediately (Elron's share in the first installment was approximately $3.3 million). The second installment will be invested after follow up data of 600 patients participating in BrainsGate's clinical trial will be received, and subject to the decision by a majority of BrainsGate's investors, as stipulated in the agreement. Elron's holding in BrainsGate's outstanding share capital did not change after completion of the agreement (for further details see Note 3.B to the financial statements and Item 4 – "Information on the Company" of Elron's 2014 Annual Report).

1.2.3. Developments in Elron and Main Group Companies
 
 
·
Collaboration with Incentive Incubator - In June 2015, Elron invested in Incentive Incubator ("Incentive") and signed a collaboration agreement with it, affording Elron exposure to investment opportunities in very early stage companies and the right to invest in future Incentive group companies.
 
 
·
Pocared - Further to Item 4B of Elron's 2014 Annual Report, in connection with Pocared's estimates as to the completion date of the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") trial it is conducting to assess the efficacy of the first application of the system it developed (diagnosis of urinary tract infection), in April 2015 Elron reported that shortly before commencing the process of accelerated production of disposables of the sample processor, a manufacturing defect was discovered, resulting in a certain delay in the transition from slow manufacturing to mass production of disposables and consequently resulting in a delay in the sample collection rate. As of the approval date of this report, Pocared believes that it has succeeded in repairing the defect and continues to deal with the delay in the sample collection, which resulted from the defect. Until now, Pocared has collected approximately 10,000 samples out of the required 19,500 samples and estimates that it will complete the sample collection within approximately two months.
 
Pocared's above estimates are forward-looking in nature, as defined in Israel Securities Law, 5728-1968, and are based on Pocared's estimations of its sample collection rate potential as of the date of this report, and information existing in Pocared on the date of this report. These estimates, in whole or in part, may not materialize, or may materialize in a manner materially different than expected. The principal factors that may affect this are developments in Pocared's field of operation, failure to obtain regulatory approvals to continue development, failure to meet goals, failure or delay in collecting the number of samples necessary to complete the trial, failure or delay in correcting the defect or the discovery of additional defects in the process, inability to realize technologies, modifications in technologies, modifications in business plan, goals and/or strategy, or if any risk associated with the course of the trial and its results occurs.
 
1.2.4. Financing
 
 
·
As of the date of filing this report, Elron's and RDC's non-consolidated liquid resources amounted to approximately $78.5 million and $60.8 million, respectively. These amounts include Elron's and RDC's short term bank deposits in the amounts of $55.3 million and $35.5 million, respectively and other short term investments in securities by Elron and  RDC in the amount of approximately $11.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively. At this date Elron and RDC have no debt.

I)
Losses in respect of Group Companies
 
Elron's share in the net losses of Group Companies:
 
As previously mentioned, most of the Group Companies are technology companies which have not yet generated significant revenues, if at all, and which invest considerable resources in research and development and in marketing activities. According to accounting principles, these companies' investments in the development of their products are recorded as they occur in their statement of income as an increase in R&D expenses (insofar as these expenses are not capitalized as intangible assets as is permitted, according to accounting principles, only when technological feasibility has been established). Therefore, as the Group Companies increase their investments in order to develop their products and advance their business, they cause Elron to record greater losses in respect of its share in their losses.
 
The loss Elron recorded in the second quarter and first half of 2015 and 2014 in respect of its share in the net losses of Group Companies (net of non-controlling interest) resulted mainly from the losses of Pocared, RDSeed, BrainsGate and CartiHeal.
 
II)
Gain from exit transactions, changes in holdings, and revaluation of investments
 
Gains from exit transactions, changes in holdings, and revaluation of investments recorded at fair value in the second quarter and first half of 2015 resulted mainly from a $10,120 thousand gain recorded due to the initial consolidation of Pocared (see section 1.2.2 above);
 
Gains from exit transactions, changes in holdings, and revaluation of investments recorded at fair value in the second quarter and first half of 2014 resulted mainly from:
 
 
·
A $144,467 thousand gain recorded in the first quarter (net of non-controlling interest) due to the completion of the merger of Given Imaging Ltd. ("Given") ($106,818 thousand net of tax);
 
 
·
A $957 thousand gain recorded in the second quarter due to an increase in Notal Vision's fair value.
 
III)
Corporate operating expenses
 
Corporate operating expenses include general and administrative expenses.
 
The decrease in corporate operating expenses in the first half of 2015 as compared with the first half of 2014 was mainly due to a decrease in payroll expenses due to the termination of the Company's former chairman's employment and due to a change in the NIS-USD exchange rate.
 
IV) Tax Benefit (Taxes on Income)
 
In the first half of 2015 no taxes on income were recorded.
 
Taxes on income in the first half of 2014 resulted mainly from a tax expense due to the Given Merger, and included approximately $29,000 thousand that were recorded due to the utilization of the deferred tax asset that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013, and approximately $7,500 thousand (net of non-controlling interest) in current taxes recorded by RDC due to the Given merger.

Elron's share in the net losses of its associates results from its holdings in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method.
As most of the Group Companies are companies whose operations have not yet generated significant revenues, if at all, and invest considerable resources in research and development and in marketing activities, Elron expects to continue to record losses in respect of these companies' ongoing operations in accordance with the accounting method applied to them in Elron's financial statements. In addition, see the analysis of the results of operations of main associate below.

Explanation
Corporate
    1,714       2,062       846       1,007  
The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in payroll expenses due to the termination of the Company's former chairman's employment and due to a change in the NIS-USD exchange rate.
RDC
    1,051       579       512       315  
The increase was mainly due to increased activities related to locating, examining and incubating projects.
RDSeed (1)
    1,850       1,818       1,025       984  
The change was mainly due to an increase in the R&D and the S&M expenses of Cloudyn, and the operating expenses of POSE, which was not consolidated in the second quarter and the first half of 2013. The increase in the operating expenses was partly offset by a decrease in the R&D expenses of Cemmerce, an in-house project in which RDSeed ceased investment during 2013, and a decrease in RDSeed's workforce.
Pocared
    5,010       -       3,828       -  
The operating expenses for the first half of 2015 showing in the table are from the initial consolidation date (February 2015) and until the end of the second quarter.
Pocared's operating expenses for the first half of 2015 in full and for the first half of 2014 were $6,122 and $5,761, respectively. The increase resulted mainly from the progress in its trials and sample collection.
Total

Explanation
Loss
    3,777       3,282       1,275       1,525  
BrainsGate is in the development stage and has not yet commenced sales. BrainsGate's losses mainly result from research and development expenses. The increase in loss in the first half of 2015 compared with the first half of 2014 was mainly due to an increase in share based payments expenses, due to recapitalization of BrainsGate's equity, as part of the investment agreement from January 2015 (see section 1.2.2 above and Note 3.B to the financial statements). The decrease in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014 was mainly due USD-NIS exchange rate fluctuations.

Total equity at June 30, 2015 was $195,164 thousand, representing approximately 97% of the total assets in the statement of financial position, compared with $192,777 thousand at December 31, 2014, representing approximately 97% of total assets in the statement of financial position. The increase in equity resulted mainly from the gain recorded and the increase in non-controlling interests following the initial consolidation of Pocared (see section 1.2.2 above). This increase was partially offset by Elron's share in losses of associates.
 
Consolidated working capital at June 30, 2015 amounted to $141,554 thousand, compared with $155,412 thousand at December 31, 2014. The decrease in working capital resulted from the decrease in cash balance due to investments in subsidiaries and associates (as detailed below).
 
The increase in intangible assets resulted mainly from a $14,387 thousand increase resulting from the initial consolidation of Pocared in February 2015 (see section 1.2.2 above).

Auditors' review report to the shareholders of
Elron Electronic Industries Ltd.
 
Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, which comprises the interim consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2015 and the related interim consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six and three months then ended. The Company's board of directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of interim financial information for these periods in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

We did not review the interim financial information of certain associates, the investment in which, at equity, amounted to approximately $ 0.5 Million as of June 30, 2015, and the Company's share in their losses amounted to approximately $ 0.7 Million and $ 0.3 Million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015. The interim financial information of those companies was reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the financial information in respect of those companies, is based on the review reports of the other auditors.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard 1 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review and the reports of other auditors nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

In addition to the abovementioned, based on our review and the reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

Note 3 – Material Changes During the Reporting Period (Cont.)

 
A.
Pocared (Cont.)

 
As mentioned in Note 3.B.4.b) to the annual consolidated financial statements, in February 2015, Elron and other shareholders invested in Pocared an amount of $5,000 in consideration for additional Preferred G shares and warrants to purchase additional Preferred G shares (Elron's share was approximately $4,450) (the "Investment Agreement").

 
Following the completion of this investment, Elron's holding in Pocared's outstanding shares increased from approximately 50.3% to approximately 53.3%, and from approximately 44.3% to approximately 50.1% on a fully diluted basis. As a result, following the aforementioned investment, and for the first time, Elron holds the majority of voting rights in Pocared, taking into account the substantive voting rights as defined in IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, and for the first time,  Elron was granted the right to appoint a majority of the directors serving on the Board of Directors of Pocared. As a result and beginning February 2015, Pocared became a consolidated company and accordingly, Elron recorded a gain in the first quarter of 2015 in the amount of approximately $10,100 with respect to the re-measurement of the fair value of Elron's shareholdings in Pocared prior to the consolidation (i.e. fair value, as detailed below, of $10,800 less the carrying amount of the holding in Pocared prior to initial consolidation in the amount of $700). This gain was recorded under line item gain from disposal and revaluation of investee companies and changes in holdings, net, in the statement of income.

 
The impact on the assets and liabilities in the Company's consolidated statement of financial position as of the date of initial consolidation of Pocared's financial statements was as follows (in fair value):

Pocared (Cont.)

 
The fair value of Elron's holdings in Pocared as of the date of initial consolidation was estimated at approximately $15,250 and included an approximately $4,450 cash payment as well as an amount of approximately $10,800 which represents the fair value of the Company's investment on the date control was obtained. The fair value of non-controlling interests was estimated at the date of initial consolidation at approximately $5,400. As a result, at the time of the business combination an intangible asset attributed mostly to IPR&D in the amount of $14,400 was recognized. The amortization of this asset will commence when sales from the relevant development will start. The rate of depreciation will be determined according to an estimation of the time of sales from this development.

 
In July 2015, subsequent to the reporting date, some of Pocared's shareholders, including Elron, granted Pocared a loan in the amount of $3,000. Elron's share in this loan was approximately $2,700.

 
This valuation of Elron's holdings in Pocared was determined with the assistance of an independent valuation firm. The significant details included in this valuation are as follows:

 
1.
The subject of the valuation: Elron's investment in Pocared.

 
2.
The valuation's effective date: As of February 12, 2015. The date of the engagement with the valuation firm was February 2015.

 
3.
The fair value of the investment in Pocared at the date of business combination: As of February 12, 2015 approximately $15,250.

 
4.
The valuation model used by the valuation firm:
 
The fair value of Elron's investment in Pocared was estimated using the Option Pricing Model (OPM), using the value derived from the aforementioned investment agreement in order to determine Pocared's overall value, and using the formulas of Black and Scholes model for allocating Pocared's value to different classes of shares and for determining the value of Elron's interest accordingly.
 
 
5.
The key assumptions used in the valuation were:

 
a.
The standard deviation: 85.2%
 
b.
Risk free rate: 0.54%
 
c.
Dividend yield: 0

 
In addition, this valuation included the purchase price allocation to Pocared's assets and liabilities. The estimation of the fair value of the IPR&D asset was conducted using the relief-from-royalties method, employing an estimated royalty rate of 5.1%.

The second installment will be invested after follow up data of 600 patients participating in BrainsGate's clinical trial will be received, and subject to the decision by a majority of BrainsGate's investors, as stipulated in the agreement. Elron's holding in BrainsGate's outstanding share capital did not change after completion of the first installment.

 
In addition, with the completion of the first installment, BrainsGate's equity was re-capitalized such that all outstanding preferred shares on the date of investment were converted into Ordinary shares of BrainsGate, and all warrants to purchase preferred shares were amended such that the underlying shares shall be Ordinary shares, commencing that date.

Kyma

 
Kyma Medical Technologies Ltd. ("Kyma") is developing a remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients. As of the reporting date, RDC Rafael Development Corporation Ltd. ("RDC", a 50.1% held subsidiary) holds approximately 53% of Kyma's outstanding shares and approximately 37% on a fully diluted basis and the investment in Kyma is accounted for under the equity method.

 
As mentioned in Note 3.B.4.e) to the annual consolidated financial statements, in February 2015, Kyma signed an investment agreement with its principal shareholders, including RDC, in the amount of approximately $6,200 in two installments in consideration for Preferred C shares. RDC's share in this amount is $2,500. The investment amount includes a loan granted to Kyma in December 2014 in the amount of $500 (RDC's share is $250) and was converted into Preferred C shares at the date of the first installment. The first installment in respect of this investment in the amount of $4,200 was invested immediately. RDC's share in the first installment was $1,600. The second installment will be invested upon Kyma meeting a milestone as set forth in the agreement.

 
Following the aforementioned investment, RDC's holding in Kyma's outstanding shares decreased from approximately 58% to approximately 53%.
 
In June 2015, Kyma signed a non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with a non-affiliated  third party regarding a potential acquisition of Kyma in consideration for an immediate cash payment of $35,000 (the "Immediate Consideration") and additional contingent cash consideration in the form of (i) earn-out payments calculated as a multiple of year-on-year revenue growth from the sale of Kyma's product for a period of 4.5 years and (ii) payments per unit manufactured of any product developed  by the potential acquirer incorporating Kyma's technology for a period of 5.5 years (together the "Contingent Consideration").
 
 
The Transaction is pending the continuing due diligence of the potential acquirer and the execution of a definitive agreement by the parties and is subject to customary regulatory and corporate approvals. There is no assurance as to the execution of a definitive agreement, its terms, the completion of the Transaction and the timing thereof.
 
According to the Letter of Intent, if the Transaction is consummated, RDC is expected to receive approximately $19,000 of the Immediate Consideration and, accordingly, Elron would record a net gain of approximately $7,000 representing Elron’s share of the net gain estimated at this stage to be recorded by RDC from the Immediate Consideration (a consolidated gain of approximately $14,000). Elron is currently examining the accounting treatment in connection with the Contingent Consideration.

Special report to the review of the separate interim financial information in accordance with
Regulation 38d to the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970
 
Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information disclosed in accordance with Regulation 38d to the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (the "Company") as of June 30, 2015 and for the six and three months then ended. The Company's board of directors and management are responsible for the separate interim financial information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the separate interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard 1 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying separate interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Regulation 38d to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (the "Company" or "Elron")

Additional information regarding the Consolidated Interim
Pro-forma Financial Statements as of June 30, 2015

The company is pleased to present the consolidated interim pro-forma financial statements as of June 30, 2015 ("Pro-Forma Financial Statements") and additional information regarding these statements.

The Pro-Forma Financial Statements are based upon the consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2015 and retroactive consolidation of the financial data of Pocared Diagnostics Ltd. ("Pocared"), for the relevant reporting periods pertaining to Pocared's operations only and taking into consideration the Pro-Forma assumptions, as detailed in Note 3 to the Pro-Forma Financial Statements.
 
Pocared is developing a real-time and automated system for infectious diseases diagnosis using optical technology, intended for use by major microbiological laboratories and hospitals, as an alternative to current microbiological practice of bacteria culturing. The system is designed to reduce the average diagnostic time and significantly increase output in comparison with current diagnostic practice. The system's first application is diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infection. Prior to its initial consolidation in February 2015, as detailed below, the investment in Pocared was accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

In February 2015, Elron and other shareholders invested in Pocared an amount of $5,000 thousand in consideration for Preferred G shares and warrants to purchase additional Preferred G shares (Elron's share was approximately $4,450 thousand). Following the completion of this investment, Elron's holding in Pocared's outstanding shares increased from approximately 50.3% to approximately 53.3% and from approximately 44.3% to approximately 50.1% on a fully diluted basis. As a result, following the aforementioned investment, and for the first time, Elron holds the majority of voting rights in Pocared, taking into account the substantive voting rights as defined in IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, and for the first time, Elron was granted the right to appoint a majority of the directors serving on the Board of Directors of Pocared. As a result, beginning February 2015, Pocared became a consolidated company.

The fair value of Elron's holdings in Pocared as of the date of initial consolidation was estimated at approximately $15,250 thousand and included an approximately $4,450 thousand cash payment as well as an amount of approximately $10,800 thousand representing the fair value of the Company's investment in Pocared, on the date control was obtained. The fair value of non-controlling interests was estimated at the date of initial consolidation at approximately $5,400 thousand. As a result, at the time of the business combination an intangible asset attributed mostly to IPR&D in the amount of $14,400 thousand was recognized. The amortization of this asset will commence when sales from the relevant development will start. The depreciation rate will be determined based on an estimation of the timing sales are expected from this development.
 
 
 
 

 
The main impact of the consolidation of Pocared's financial statements on the Pro-Forma Financial Statements, is a decrease in line item equity in losses of associates, net, mainly on account of an increase in line item research and development expenses, net and general and administrative expenses.

Most of Elron's group companies are technology companies which have not yet generated significant revenues, if at all, and which invest considerable resources in research and development and in marketing activities. According to accounting principles, these companies' investments in the development of their products are recorded as they occur in their statement of income as an increase in R&D expenses (insofar as these expenses are not capitalized as intangible assets as is permitted, according to accounting principles, only when technological feasibility has been established). Therefore, as Elron's group companies increase their investments in order to develop their products and advance their business, they cause Elron to record greater losses in respect of its share in their losses.
 
 
 

 

 
The pro-forma loss Elron recorded in the second quarter and first half of 2015, and 2014 and in all of 2014, in respect of its share in the net losses of group companies (net of non-controlling interest) resulted mainly from the losses of Pocared, RDSeed Ltd., BrainsGate Ltd. and CartiHeal (2009) Ltd.
 
Analysis of the pro-forma consolidated interim statements of profit and loss:

The pro-forma operating expenses (including research and development, general and administrative and selling and marketing expenses), in the first half of 2015 amounted to $10,732 thousand. The pro-forma operating expenses in the second quarter and first half of 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $10,220, $5,322 and $20,826 thousand, respectively, and mainly included research and development expenses, net, selling and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses of Elron's and consolidated companies' corporate operations.

Pocared's operating expenses in the first half and second quarter of 2015 amounted to $6,122 and $3,833 thousand, respectively. Pocared's operating expenses in the first half and second quarter of 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $5,761, $3,016 and $10,332 thousand, respectively. The increase resulted mainly from the progress in its trials and sample collection.

It should be noted that pro-forma data, by their nature, are based on estimations (see Note 3 to the Pro-forma Financial Statements) and therefore the pro-forma data and any additional information given in this report should not be considered to reflect the actual or future results of the group after the completion of the transaction.

Auditors' review report
to the shareholders of
Elron Electronic Industries Ltd.
 
Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying pro forma financial information of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries which comprises the pro forma consolidated interim statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These pro forma financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's board of directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these pro forma financial statements based on our review.

We did not review the interim financial information of certain associates accounted at equity, which the Company's share in their losses amounted to approximately $ 0.7 Million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The condensed interim financial information of those companies was reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the financial information in respect of those companies, is based on the review/audit reports of the other auditors.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard 1 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review and the reports of other auditors review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying pro forma financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies presented in Note 2 and the related assumptions detailed in Note 3 to the pro forma consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the abovementioned, based on our review and the reports of other auditors review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying pro forma interim financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with Regulation 38d to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

ELRON ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO PRO-FORMA CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1:-           GENERAL

Pocared Diagnostics Ltd. ("Pocared"), an Israeli company, is developing a real-time and automated system for infectious diseases diagnosis using optical technology. As of June 30, 2015 Elron holds approximately 53.3% of Pocared's outstanding shares. Prior to its consolidation in February 2015, as detailed below, the investment in Pocared was accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

As mentioned in Note 3.A  to  the interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015 ("the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements") of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. ("Elron" or "the Company"), in February 2015, Elron and other shareholders invested in Pocared an amount of $5,000 thousand in consideration for Preferred G shares and warrants to purchase additional Preferred G shares (Elron's share was approximately $4,450 thousand).

Following the completion of this investment, Elron's holding in Pocared's outstanding shares increased from approximately 50.3% to approximately 53.3% and from approximately 44.3% to approximately 50.1% on a fully diluted basis. As a result, following the aforementioned investment, and for the first time, Elron holds the majority of voting rights in Pocared, considering substantive voting rights, as defined in IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, and for the first time, Elron was granted the right to appoint a majority of the directors serving on the Board of Directors of Pocared. As a result and beginning February 2015, Pocared became a consolidated company.

Obtaining control over Pocared is a pro-forma event, as defined in the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 ("the Regulations").

Elron's pro-forma consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2015 ("the Pro-forma Statements") reflect the impact of the pro-forma event on the Company's consolidated results of operations under the assumption that Pocared's financial statements were consolidated in Elron's financial statements in periods prior to the business combination, in accordance with Note 2 and 3 below.

The Pro-forma Statements do not include a pro-forma statement of financial position and statements of profit or loss, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, since Pocared's business combination in respect with these reports, was fully reflected in Elron's consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2015

NOTE 2:-           SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Pro-forma Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Part IV

English Translation of Quarterly Report
regarding the Effectiveness of the Internal
Control over Financial Reporting and
Disclosure pursuant to Regulation 38C:

As of June 30, 2015
 
 
 

 
 
Attached herein is a quarterly report regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure, pursuant to Regulation 38C of the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970:
 
Quarterly report regarding the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure, pursuant to Regulation 38C(a):
 
Management, under the supervision of the board of directors of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (the "Corporation"), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over the financial reporting and disclosure in the Corporation.
 
In this regard, the members of management are:
 
1.
Mr. Ari Bronshtein, CEO;
 
2.
Mr. Yaron Elad, CFO.
 
The Corporation's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Corporation's principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and under the board of directors' supervision, that is meant to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the law, and to ensure that the information that the Corporation is required to disclose in its reports according to the provisions of the law is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, in the format prescribed by law.
 
The internal control includes, inter alia, controls and procedures which were designed to ensure that information which the Corporation is required to disclose as aforesaid, is recorded and made available to the Corporation's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as necessary to permit the timely adoption of resolutions pertaining to disclosure requirements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure is not intended to provide absolute assurance regarding prevention or detection of misstatements or omissions.
 
In the annual report on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure which was attached to the periodic report for the period ended December 31, 2014 (the "Last Annual Report Regarding the Internal Control"), the board of directors and management assessed the Corporation's internal control. Based on this assessment, the Corporation's board of directors and management deemed the internal control as of December 31, 2014 effective.
 
Up until the date of this report, no event or matter was brought to the attention of management or the board of directors which would change the assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control, as set forth in the Last Annual Report Regarding the Internal Control.
 
As of the date of this report, based on the assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control in the Last Annual Report Regarding the Internal Control, and based on information which was brought to the attention of management and the board of directors as aforesaid, the internal control is effective.
 
On February 12, 2015, as a result of an additional investment Elron made in Pocared Diagnostics Ltd. ("Pocared"), Elron began consolidating Pocared's financial statements. Following this change in accounting method, Company management is in the process of examining and implementing the necessary controls in Pocared in order to report on the effectiveness of Elron's controls.

(b)
Designed such controls and procedures, or caused such controls and procedures to be designed and maintained under my supervision, to reasonably ensure the reliability of the financial reporting and preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the law, including in accordance with GAAP;
