REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

TIKCRO TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tikcro Technologies Ltd. ("the Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2013 and 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data
 
NOTE 1:-
GENERAL

Tikcro Technologies Ltd. ("the Company" or "Tikcro") was incorporated in 1999, under the laws of Israel.

The Company's business activity is to support early stage development in growth areas, with a focus on biotechnology projects originated in Israeli academic centers. The Company is currently engaged with development of certain antibodies selected and verified in pre-clinical trials with a focus on antibodies binding to cancer immune checkpoints.
 
The Company also has holdings in BioCancell Therapeutics, Inc. ("BioCancell") of which the significant majority was liquidated, see Note 4.
 
NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
a.
Basis of presentation:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), followed consistently.

 
b.
Use of estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company's management evaluates estimates, including those related to fair values of investment in BioCancell, fixed assets and fair values of stock-based awards. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 
c.
Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

A substantial portion of the Company's cash flow transactions is incurred in dollars. Investing activities and equity transactions are made in dollars. The Company's management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the dollar.

NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 830. All transaction gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

 
d.
Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less.

 
e.
Investment:

The Company adopted ASC No. 825, "Financial Instruments" as of the date of the investment in BioCancell and elected to apply the fair value option to its investment. The primary reasons for electing the fair value option were simplification and cost-benefit considerations, as well as expansion of the use of fair value measurement being consistent with the FASB's measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. The losses and gains due to changes in fair value for items measured at fair value pursuant to election of the fair value option are included in financial income (expenses), net. Refer also Note 4.

 
f.
Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated according to the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company's Property and equipment includes Laboratory equipment, purchased during 2014. The estimated useful life of the assets is 3 years. Depreciation expenses amounts to $10 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 
g.
Research and development expenses:

Research and development expenses include funding for early-stage biotechnology projects mainly performed by research facilities, and are charged to the statement of operations, as incurred.

 
h.
Income taxes:

The Company account for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740, "Income Taxes". This ASC prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases 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 their estimated realizable value if it not is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

NOTE 2:-   
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
Based on ASC No. 740 a two-step approach is used to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. When necessary, The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income tax.

 
i.
Accounting for stock-based compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation". ASC No. 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's income statements.

The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted based on the straight line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC No. 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, and the expected option term. No options were granted during  2012 through  2014. The Company grants restricted shares and values them based on the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant.

 
j. 
Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company measures its investment at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
F-11

 
TIKCRO TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data
 
NOTE 2:- 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions, or other inputs that are observable (model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable), or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 
k.
Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share:

Basic net earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with ASC No. 260, "Earnings per Share".

The total number of shares excluded from the calculation of the diluted net earnings (loss) per share, because they had anti-dilutive effect, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, were 264,793, 86,246 and 66,667, respectively.

 
l.
Concentrations of credit risks:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents are invested in major banks in Israel and the U.S., mainly in U.S. dollars. Such funds in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the institutions in which the Company invests and the financial institutions that hold the Company's investments are financially sound and, accordingly, low credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

In addition, with respect to the Company's investment in Biocancell, refer to Note 4.

The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

 
m.
Treasury shares:

The Company repurchases Ordinary shares on the open market which are held as treasury shares. The Company presents the cost of repurchased treasury shares as a reduction in shareholders' equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If such conditions or events exist, an entity should disclose that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Disclosure should include the principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, and management’s plans that are intended to mitigate those conditions or events. ASU 2014-15 will be effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on its financial statements.

INVESTMENT IN BIOCANCELL

   
December 31,
 
   
2013
   
2014
 
             
Investment in BioCancell
  $ 397     $ 85  

In July 2008, the Company signed an agreement with BioCancell Therapeutics, Inc. ("BioCancell"), an Israel-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, whose Common stock is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. As part of the agreement, the Company provided funding to BioCancell, was entitled to appoint one member to BioCancell's board of directors and provided BioCancell with certain consulting services.

The initial investment included a purchase of 83,752 shares of Common stock of BioCancell  at a price per share in NIS equal to $ 5.97 ($ 500 in total), a convertible note due in July 2012 in the principal amount of $2,000, bearing interest at 10% per year and convertible into up to

346,439 shares of common stock with a conversion price per share in NIS equal to $7.16, and a five-year warrant expiring June 2013 to purchase from BioCancell up to 430,191 shares of Common stock at a price per share in NIS equal to $ 7.160 (following a private placement in 2012, the exercise price was adjusted, as further noted below.

In June 2013 the Company exercised the warrants pursuant to the cashless exercise feature of the warrants and received a total of 240,924 ordinary shares.

In July 2012, Tikcro's convertible note to BioCancell in the principal amount of $ 2,000 was repaid in full, including accrued interest, in the total amount of $ 2,480.

Up to December 31, 2012 the Company received 19,182 shares of Common stock of BioCancell  for consulting services provided by the Company to BioCancell, in the value of $ 29.

In addition, Tikcro was entitled to a "full ratchet" anti-dilution protection in cases Biocancell issues additional securities, under terms stipulated in the agreement. Following a private placement that BioCancell effected in January 2012, the full-ratchet anti-dilution adjustment provision was triggered, and as a result additional 102,598 shares of Common stock were issued to the Company for no additional consideration.

In July 2012, following another financing round of Biocancell, the full-ratchet anti-dilution adjustment provision was triggered again, and as a result an additional 29,972 shares of common stock were due to the Company for no additional consideration. The additional shares were issued in 2013, due pending certain Israeli regulatory approvals.
 
In November 2012, BioCancell held a financing round at a share price of NIS 0.42. BioCancell declined to affect the full-ratchet anti-dilution adjustment provision. The disagreement was resolved through an arbitration process in 2013 and additional 250,226 shares of common stock were due to the Company, though this issuance was not concluded since Biocancell claims that it is subject to a payment of an exercise price equal to $64, which is in dispute.

c.
Shareholder bonus rights plan:

On September 12, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Bonus Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan") pursuant to which share purchase bonus rights (the "Right") were distributed on September 26, 2005, at the rate of one Right for each of the Company's Ordinary shares held by shareholders of record as of the close of business on that date.

The Rights Plan is intended to help ensure that all of the Company's shareholders are able to realize the long-term value of their investment in the Company in the event of a potential takeover which does not reflect the full value of the Company and is otherwise not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Rights Plan is also intended to deter unfair or coercive takeover tactics.

Each right will entitle shareholders to buy one-half of one of the Company's Ordinary shares. The Rights generally will be exercisable and transferable apart from the Company's Ordinary shares only if a person or group becomes an "Acquiring Person" by acquiring beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's Ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Rights Plan, or commences a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which such person or group would become an Acquiring Person. Subject to certain conditions described in the Rights Plan, once the Rights become exercisable, the holders of Rights, other than the Acquiring Person, will be entitled to purchase Ordinary shares at a discount from the market price.

TAXES ON INCOME

Tax rates:

Taxable income of the Israeli companies is subject to the Israeli corporate tax at the rate as follows: 2014 - 26.5%, 2013 - 25%, 2012 - 25%.

Valuation allowance
    (43,498 )     (40,520 )
                 
Net deferred tax asset

d.
The main reconciling item from the statutory tax rate of the Company to the effective tax rate are valuation allowances provided for deferred tax assets. Tax expenses in 2012 represent tax withheld from the Company.
