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 the business plan, goals and/or strategy, or if any risk associated with the course of the trial and its results occurs.

Likewise, to the best of Elron's knowledge, the holding percentage of corporations under the control of Mr. Eduardo Elsztain in IDBD increased to approximately 80.7% and the shareholders agreement between the Elsztain and Ben-Moshe groups expired as per its terms. As a result, Mr. Mordechai Ben-Moshe ceased to be an indirect controlling shareholder of DIC and Elron.

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.

·
Pocared's FDA Trial - Further to Item 4B of Elron's 2014 Annual Report and its Board of Director's Report for the Second Quarter of 2015 regarding the FDA trial Pocared is conducting, as conveyed to Elron by Pocared in October 2015, subsequent to the reporting date, the rate of sample collection and data processing is lower than expected according to its business plan and as a result, Pocared is now expected to complete the sample collection for the trial during the month of December 2015.

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 the business plan, goals and/or strategy, or if any risk associated with the course of the trial and its results occurs.

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 third quarter and in the first nine months 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, Kyma and CartiHeal.
 
II)

See analysis of Elron's and consolidated companies' operating expenses below.
Equity in losses of associates, net
    7,072       11,961       1,839       3,699  
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. The decrease in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 as compared with the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 was mainly due to the initial consolidation of Pocared's operating results commencing Febuary 2015, instead of recording Pocared's losses based on the equity method of accounting.
Financial expenses
    685       1,907       1,537       2,160

Explanation
Corporate
    2,565       3,142       851       1,080

RDSeed (1)
    2,869       2,916       1,019       1,097  
The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the operating expenses of POSE P.O.S Ltd. ("POSE"), whose operations were downsized in 2015 and which ceased being a consolidated company.

Loss
    5,164       4,408       1,387       1,126  
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 nine months of 2015 compared with the first nine months 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 increase in the third quarter of 2015 compared with the third quarter of 2014 was mainly due to increased efforts to recruit patients and an increase in the number of patients recruited for the trial.

Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2015 was $209,024 thousand, representing approximately 95% 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) and from the gain recorded due to the sale of Kyma (see section 1.2.1 above). This increase was partially offset by Elron's share in losses of associates.
 
Consolidated working capital at September 30, 2015 amounted to $161,759 thousand, compared with $155,412 thousand at December 31, 2014. The increase in working capital resulted from the increase in cash balance due to the sale of Kyma and as a result of Jordan Valley's classification as held for sale, which was partially offset by investments in subsidiaries and associates and by an increase in liabilities due to the initial consolidation of Pocared in February 2015 (see section 1.2.2 above).
 
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).
 
The increase in long term receivables resulted mainly from the contingent consideration and escrow deposit received in the sale of Kyma (see section 1.2.1 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 September 30, 2015 and the related interim consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the nine and three month periods 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 $ 0.4 Million as of September 30, 2015, and the Company's share in their losses amounted to approximately $ 1.2 Million and $ 0.5 Million for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2015, respectively. 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
 
 
A.
Pocared

Pocared Diagnostics Ltd. ("Pocared"), an Israeli company, is developing a real-time and automated system for infectious diseases diagnosis using optical technology. As of the reporting date, Elron holds approximately 55% 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.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 Series A1 Preferred shares and warrants to purchase additional Preferred A1 shares (Elron's share was approximately $4,450).

Following the completion of this investment, Elron's holding in Pocared's outstanding share capital 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 the 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 its initial consolidation (i.e. fair value, as detailed below, of $10,800, with the deduction of the carrying amount of the holding in Pocared prior to obtaining control 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):

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 on the date of initial consolidation at approximately $5,400. As a result, at the time of the business combination, an intangible asset, in the amount of $14,400, attributed mostly to IPR&D 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.

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%.

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 September 30, 2015 and for the nine and three month periods 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 September 30, 2015

The company is pleased to present the consolidated interim pro-forma financial statements as of September 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 September 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 A1 shares and warrants to purchase additional Preferred A1 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 third quarter and in the first nine months 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, Kyma and CartiHeal.
 
 Analysis of the pro-forma consolidated interim statements of profit and loss:

The pro-forma operating expenses (including research and development, net, general and administrative and selling and marketing expenses), in the first nine months of 2015, amounted to $16,658 thousand. The pro-forma operating expenses in the first nine months and in the third quarter of 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $15,045, $4,825 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 nine months and in the third quarter of 2015 amounted to $9,859 and $3,737 thousand, respectively. Pocared's operating expenses in the first nine months and in the third quarter of 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $8,042, $2,281 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 comprehensive income for the nine month period ended September 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 $ 1.2 Million for the nine month period ended September 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 September 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 September 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 A1 shares and warrants to purchase additional Preferred A1 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 September 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 September 30, 2015, since Pocared's business combination in respect with these reports, was fully reflected in Elron's consolidated interim financial statements as of September 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.

NOTES TO PRO-FORMA CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 3:-
THE PRO-FORMA ASSUMPTIONS

The following bears on the Pro-forma Statements:

 
1.
The pro-forma Statements are meant to reflect the consolidated financial statements of the Company together with the financial statements of Pocared.

 
2.
According to the provisions of the Regulations, the pro-forma consolidated statements of income and the pro-forma consolidated statements of comprehensive income are presented based on the assumption that the transaction took place on January 1, 2014.

 
3.
Excess costs attributed to IPR&D created from obtaining control over Pocared, are not amortized in the pro-forma statement of income. The amortization 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.

 
4.
The gain from the fair value re-measurement of Elron's holdings in Pocared prior to the initial consolidation, which was recorded in the consolidated interim Financial Statements as a gain in the statement of income, was cancelled as part of the pro-forma adjustment.

 
5.
The transaction was financed with the Company's cash resources.

 Auditors' review report to the shareholders of
Brainsgate Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed financial information of BrainsGate Ltd. ("the Company") which comprises the Statement of Financial Position at September 30, 2015 and the related condensed statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine and three months period ended September 30, 2015.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Information

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to conduct our reviews in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed financial information referred to above for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no impairment losses have been identified.

j.
Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
k.

l.
Income taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" (formerly: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109")). This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely-than-not to be realized.

 
m.
Severance pay:

The Company's liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof.

Pursuant to Section 14 of the Severance Compensation Law, 1963 ("Section 14"), certain employees of the Company who elected to be included under this section, are entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in their name with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees.

p.
Accounting policies recently adopted

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification under this guidance remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and shareholders' deficit, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early application is permitted for any annual reporting period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued.
 
The amendments are adopted in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2014.
 
NOTE 3:-      SHARE CAPITAL

On January 22, 2015, the Company effected a Series BB Preferred financing round with some of its existing shareholders as well as with a new investor (collectively "the Investors"), for an aggregate of up to US $ 26,418 that shall be paid to the Company in two installments ("the Transaction"). The second installment will be invested after follow up data of 600 patients participating in the Company's clinical trial will be received (the “Milestone Closing”), and subject to the decision by a majority of the Company's investors, as stipulated in the agreement ("the Agreement"). Assuming that the Milestone Closing shall occur the Company shall issue and allot to the Investors an aggregate of up to (i) 26,418,091 Preferred BB shares and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an additional 6,604,526 Preferred BB shares (see below). The first installment of $ 11,000 was due upon closing and 11,000,000 Preferred BB shares were issued in consideration for such first installment.

NOTE 3:-      SHARE CAPITAL (Cont.)

In addition to the abovementioned Transaction, prior to the initial closing of Transaction, the Company's equity was re-capitalized in a way that all outstanding Preferred shares were converted into Ordinary shares of the Company, based on the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the financing round, and all existing warrants to purchase preferred shares ("the Old Warrants") were amended such that the underlying shares shall be Ordinary shares ("the Recapitalization").

As part of the Recapitalization and the Transaction, the Company issued Preferred AA Shares to its existing shareholders who participated in the Transaction. Each such shareholder received a number of Preferred AA shares that is equal to the total dollar amount such investor invested in the Company to that date. Preferred AA shares provide their holders a liquidation preference of $ 1 per share in the event of an Exit Event (as defined in the Agreement) for which the total value is equal or lower than $ 150 million ("the AA Liquidation Preference").

Preferred BB shares are entitled to a $ 1 liquidation preference that is senior to all other distributions. The AA Liquidation Preference is senior to all other distributions except the Preferred BB liquidation preference. Preferred AA shares are not entitled to further distributions beyond the AA Liquidation Preference. After payment of the liquidation preferences of the AA and BB liquidation preferences, Preferred BB shareholders are entitled to pro rata participation in all remaining distributions.

In addition, as part of the Transaction, upon the initial closing, each investor was issued warrants, representing 25% of its investment in the Transaction. These warrants are exercisable into such number of Preferred BB in a 1:1 ratio ("the New Warrants").

According to ASC 480-10 "Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity", the Old Warrants and the New Warrants are classified as equity and presented in shareholders' equity according to the fair value of the warrants at the issuance date. Since the Recapitalization modified the terms of the Old Warrants, they were revaluated to fair value and an amount of $ 176 was reclassified from Deficit accumulated to the Warrants.

The Company also considered the recapitalization as a modification for its outstanding options to employees. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 718-20-55-2 the Company measured the fair value of the modified award with the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. The Company recorded in the first and second quarters of 2015 a share-based payment charge in the amount of approximately $ 741.

In addition, since the fair value of the ordinary shares after the Recapitalization was higher than the fair value of some of the Preferred shares held by the shareholders before the Recapitalization, the Company recorded a deemed dividend to those shareholders in the amount of $ 761.

On February 26, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant of options to its employees. In accordance with the option agreements, the employees received options to acquire 95,000 shares of Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.08 which expire 10 years from the grant date. The Options shall vest over a period of four years, 25% of them will vest in the first and second anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining options will vest on a quarterly basis over eight consecutive quarters (6.25% per quartet).

Elron Electronic Industries Ltd.
 
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 September 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.
 
 
 

 
 
Declaration of the Principal Executive Officer pursuant to Regulation 38C(d)(1):
 
Managers' Declaration
 
Declaration of the Chief Executive Officer
 
I, Ari Bronshtein, declare that:
 
 
(1)
I have examined the quarterly report of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (the "Corporation") for the third quarter of 2015 (the "Reports");
 
 
(2)
Based on my knowledge, the Reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by the Reports;
 
 
(3)
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements and other financial information included in the Reports, fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation, as of, and for the periods presented in the Reports;
 
 
(4)
I have disclosed to the Corporation's independent auditors, board of directors and audit committee of the Corporation's board of directors, based on my most recent assessment of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure:
 
 
(a)
All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure, which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Corporation's ability to record, process, summarize or report financial information in a manner which may cast doubt on the reliability of the financial reporting and preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the law; and –
 
 
(b)
Any fraud, whether or not material, which involves the principal executive officer, a direct subordinate of the principal executive officer, or other employees who have a significant role in the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure.
 
 
(5)
I, alone or together with others in the Corporation, have:
 
 
(a)
Designed such controls and procedures, or caused such controls and procedures to be designed and maintained under my supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the Corporation, including its consolidated subsidiaries as defined in the Israel Securities Law (Annual Financial Statements), 5770-2010, is made known to me by others within the Corporation and the consolidated subsidiaries, particularly during the period in which the Reports are being prepared; and –
 
 
(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;
 
 
(c)
No event or matter was brought to my attention during the period between the date of the last report (quarterly or periodic, as relevant) and the date of this report, which would change the conclusion of the board of directors and management regarding the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure of the Corporation.
 
 
(d)
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.
 
Nothing in the aforesaid derogates from my responsibility or the responsibility of any other person, pursuant to any law.
