NOTE 1:-

GENERAL


a.

OphthaliX Inc. (the "Company" or "OphthaliX") (formerly: "Denali Concrete Management Inc." or "Denali"), originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 10, 1999 under the name Bridge Capital.com Inc. Bridge Capital.com Inc., was a nominally capitalized corporation that did not commence its operations until it changed its name to Denali Concrete Management in March 2001. The Company was a concrete placement company specializing in providing concrete improvements in the road construction industry. Denali operated primarily in Anchorage, Alaska, placing curb and gutter, sidewalks and retaining walls for state, municipal and military projects.


In December 2005, the Company ceased its principal business operations and focused its efforts on seeking a business opportunity, remaining as a public shell company in the U.S.


Eye-Fite Ltd. ("Eye-Fite" or the "Subsidiary") was founded on June 27, 2011 in contemplation with the execution of the transaction, between Can-Fite Biopharma Ltd. (the "Parent Company" or "Can Fite") a public company in Israel and the Company, as further detailed in Note 1b below.


The Company and the Subsidiary conduct research and development activities using an exclusive worldwide license for a therapeutic drug CF101 solely for the field of ophthalmic diseases after the consummation of the following transaction. See also Note 1b2.


Following the transaction the Company changed its name to OphthaliX Inc. and also changed its corporate domicile from Nevada to Delaware.


b.

Reverse recapitalization transaction and related arrangements:


1.

Recapitalization:


On November 21, 2011, (the "Closing Date") the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Eye-Fite, in consideration for the issuance by OphthaliX to Can-Fite of 36,000,000 shares (and warrants to purchase shares) of OphthaliX representing, approximately 87% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding share capital of the Company. Immediately prior and as a condition to the closing of the transaction, OphthaliX entered into subscription agreements with new investors (the "New Investors") pursuant to which, OphthaliX received additional funds in amount of $3,330 (excluding $333 of issuance expenses paid in cash) in consideration for issuing of 2,910,456 shares of Common Stock of OphthaliX at a price per share of $1.144.


Consequently, the Company holds 17,873,054 shares of Can-Fite's outstanding Ordinary shares, (approximately 7% of Can-Fite's issued and outstanding share capital as of December 31, 2012).


In addition, OphthaliX issued to Can-Fite, 2,097,626 shares of Common Stock of the Company, in exchange for Ordinary shares of Can-Fite valued, at such time of grant, at $2,400.




- 9 -






NOTE 1:-

GENERAL (Cont.)


In accordance with the Israeli Securities Law (1968), Section 15C and related Securities Regulations, the shares issued by Can-Fite to OphthaliX, have a Resale Restriction Period, which consists of one year of full restriction and a liquidation period of eight consecutive quarters, thus OphthaliX will be able to sell 12.5% of Can-Fite's issued shares, every quarter starting from November 21, 2012.


As part of the recapitalization arrangement, Can-Fite made an additional equity investment in OphthaliX in the amount of $500 in consideration with the issuance of an aggregate of 437,005 shares of Common Stock of OphthaliX at a price per share of $1.144.


In contemplation with the recapitalization transaction, it was agreed that for each two shares of Common Stock purchased by the New Investors and Can-Fite, they will be granted by the Company one warrant to acquire one share of Common Stock of the Company. The exercise price of the warrants is $1.72 per share of Common Stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from their date of grant. The warrants do not contain non standard anti-dilution provisions.


The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization which is outside the scope ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under reverse capitalization accounting, Eye-Fite is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Company. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical amounts. Consequently, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the operations of the acquirer for accounting purposes together with a deemed issuance of shares, equivalent to the shares held by the former shareholders of the legal acquirer and a recapitalization at the equity of the accounting acquirer. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company since the effective date of the reverse capitalization and the accounts of Eye-Fite since inception.


2.

License and research and development services from Can-Fite:


In connection with consummation of the transaction, the Company and Can-Fite entered into a license agreement, pursuant to which Can-Fite granted Eye-Fite a sole and exclusive worldwide license for the use of CF101, solely in the field of ophthalmic diseases ("CF101"). Eye-Fite shall be obligated to make to the USA National Institutes of Health ("NIH"), which its patents are included in the license to Eye-Fite, for as long as the PHS Agreement is in effect, a nonrefundable minimum annual royalty fees and potential future royalties of 4.0% to 5.5% on net sales.


In addition the Company will be obligated to certain milestone payments ranging from $25 to $500 upon the achievement of various development milestones for each indication. Eye-Fite will also be required to make payments of 20% of sublicensing revenues, excluding royalties and net of the required milestone payments. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company has not reached any milestone or earned revenue that would trigger such payments to Can-Fite.




- 10 -






NOTE 1:-

GENERAL (Cont.)


In addition, following the closing of the transaction, an agreement was signed between Can-Fite, OphthaliX and Eye-Fite (the "Service Agreement"). According to the Service Agreement, Can-Fite will manage the research and development activities relating to pre-clinical and clinical studies for the development of the ophthalmic indications of CF101. According to the Service Agreement, in consideration for Can-Fite's services, Eye-Fite shall pay to Can-Fite a service fee (consisting of all expenses and costs incurred by Can-Fite plus 15%). In addition, the Company is committed to future additional payments equal to 2.5% of any and all proceeds received by Eye-Fite relating to the activities regarding the drug (the "Additional Payment").


According to the Service Agreement, Can-Fite will have the right, at any time until the expiry of 5 years from the closing of the transaction, to convert the Additional Payment into an additional 2,160,102 shares of Common Stock of the Company (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances).


c.

The Company devotes most of its efforts toward research and development activities. As of March 31, 2013 the Company does not have sufficient capital resources to carry its research and development activities until commercialization of the underlying products.


The Company's inability to raise funds to carry its research and development activities will have severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company beyond December 31, 2014.The Company is addressing its liquidity issues by implementing initiatives to raise additional funds as well as other measure that will allow the coverage of its anticipated budget deficit. Such initiatives may include monetizing part of Company's assets, by intention to realize its investment in Can-Fite's shares. In addition, in February 2013, the Company obtained a formal letter from Can-Fite stating that Can-Fite agrees to defer receiving payments owed under the Services Agreement from January 31, 2013 for the performance of the clinical trials of CF101 in ophthalmic indications until the completion of a fundraising in the Company. As of March 31, 2013 the company obligation to Can-Fite amounted to $420.


Any such deferred payments will bear interest at a rate of 3% per annum from the due date of each invoice issued by Can-Fite to the Company until the time of payment by the Company.


There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed for its long-term research and development activities. If the Company will not have sufficient liquidity resources, the Company may not be able to continue the development of all of its products or may be required to delay part of the development programs.


NOTE 2:-

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2012, are applied consistently in these financial statements.




- 11 -






NOTE 3:-

UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of OphthaliX Inc. have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012, is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or any future period. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report") should be read in conjunction with “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors,” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


NOTE 4:-

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


The Company considers an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and views an inactive market as one in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers.  Since the quoted market value of the Company’s Common Stock was based on a sporadically traded stock with little volume, the Company's management determined the Company's stock price fair value based on ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement using the income approach assisted by a third party specialist. Consequently, the Company used the estimated stock price fair value in the underlying assumptions of the computation of the fair value of the derivative related to the Service Agreement.


In accordance with ASC 820, the Company measures part of its investment in parent company and embedded derivatives in the Service Agreement, at fair value. The investment in parent company fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and other inputs (such as risk free interest and volatility) that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Shares that are restricted for less than one year should be re-measured to reflect fair value at each cutoff date. As a result of such restrictions, the Company adjusted the quoted market price in the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange of its investment in Parent Company's shares, to reflect the discount that results from the resale restriction provisions. In measuring the fair value the Company used a Protective Put Option model. In estimating the fair value, the Company used Black-Scholes option-pricing model. These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity under accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. The rest of the investment in Parent Company that has trade restrictions for more than one year should be accounted as a financial asset, on a cost basis (based on the valuation of an expert as of December 31, 2012). The assets are classified within Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy. Embedded derivatives are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using valuation techniques. Some of the inputs to these models are unobservable in the market and are significant.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of our balance sheets and statements of income.  This section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and our interim financial statements and accompanying notes to these financial statements.  All amounts are in U.S. dollars.


Forward-Looking Statement Notice


This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding, among other things, our product development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects.  In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing.  Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should” or “anticipate” or their negatives or other variations of these words or other comparable words or by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters.  These forward-looking statements may be included in, but are not limited to, various filings made by us with the SEC, press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers.  Forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made.  Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those set forth in our most recent annual reports referenced below.


This report identifies important factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements, particularly those set forth under Item 1A – Risk Factors as disclosed in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2013


All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf speak only as of the date of this report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this report.  We undertake no obligations to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.  In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties.


Description of Business


The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutic products for the treatment of ophthalmic disorders.  We have in-licensed certain patents and patent applications protecting the use in the ophthalmic field of our current pipeline drug under development, a synthetic A3AR agonist, CF101 (known generically as IB-MECA). CF101 is being developed to treat three ophthalmic indications: dry eye syndrome; glaucoma and uveitis.  We are currently: (i) conducting a Phase III trial with respect to the development of CF101 for dry eye syndrome, under an Investigational New Drug, or IND, application with the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA; (ii) conducting a Phase II trial with respect to the development of CF101 for the treatment of glaucoma; and (iii) preparing for Phase II study of the development of CF101 for uveitis.


CF101 is a highly-selective, orally bioavailable small molecule synthetic drug, which targets the A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR).  We believe that CF101 has a favorable safety profile and a potent anti-inflammatory activity, mediated via its capability to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, MMPs, IL-1, and IL-6.  This is mediated by activation of the A3AR, which is highly expressed in inflammatory tissues in contrast to normal tissues where expression levels of the receptor are very low.  We believe that the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of CF101 make it an attractive candidate for use in the treatment of a variety of ophthalmic diseases.

Business Developments


During the first quarter of 2013, we had the following major developments:


·

On January 29, 2013, our Board of Directors conditionally approved the adoption of an annex (the “Annex”) to the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Approval of the Annex by the Board of Directors was contingent upon the following: 1) 30 days elapsing since approval of the Annex by the Board of Directors, and 2) filing with Israeli income tax authorities (the “Tax Authorities”).  On February 7, 2013, the Annex was filed with the Tax Authorities and on March 8, 2013, the Annex became effective.

·

On February 28, 2013, our Board of Directors approved the termination of Dr. Gil Ben-Menachem as our Chief Executive Officer and appointed Barak Singer as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

·

On February 28, 2013, our Board approved Can-Fite’s offer to defer payments under the Service Agreement for the performance of clinical trials involving CF101 for ophthalmic indications until the completion of a fundraising by the Company and in no event in excess of the available cash of the Company after the fulfillment of our obligations to other creditors at such time. We will pay interest at the rate of 3% per annum from the date of each quarterly invoice issued by Can-Fite until the deferred payments are satisfied. As of March 31, 2013 the Company owed Can-Fite approximately $420,000 with regards to the payment deferral.

·

On March 15, 2013 we announced that patient enrollment for a Phase 3 clinical study of CF101 for the treatment of Dry Eye Syndrome (“DES”) has been completed.  The randomized, double-masked study was conducted in the United States, Europe and Israel.  The study included 237 patients with moderate-to-severe DES who were randomized to receive two oral doses of CF101 and a placebo for a period of 24 weeks.  The results of this study are expected to be announced in the fourth quarter of 2013.


Results of Operations –Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012


For the period from June 27, 2011 (inception date of Eyefite) to March 31, 2013, we did not generate any revenues from operations.  Expenses during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, were $801,000 compared with $710,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, with finance income of $59,000, and finance expenses of $2,114,000 for the comparable prior period. Net losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $742,000 and $2,824,000, respectively.  Expenses for the period mentioned above consisted of research and development of $596,000, with $508,000 for the comparable prior year period, and of general and administrative expenses of $205,000, with $202,000 for the comparable prior year period.  The general and administrative expenses were mainly due to payroll for new CEO, director share based payments, management fees and professional services fees relating to our reporting requirements.  The finance income was mainly from a change in fair value of derivatives in the amount of $59,000.


Plan of Operation


The Company did not generate any revenue in the first quarter of 2013 and does not expect to generate any revenues for the remainder of 2013.  Through our subsidiary, Eyefite, which holds all the intellectual property related to our technology, we are developing therapeutic products for the treatment of ophthalmic disorders.  As of March 31, 2013, we had $530,000 in cash and cash equivalents.  We also had 17,873,054 Ordinary shares of Can-Fite (traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange) presented in the Balance Sheet as $1,292,000.  Although we can provide no assurances, we believe that such funds will be sufficient to continue our business and operations as currently conducted.  However, we will require significant additional financing in the future to fund our operations during 2014 and beyond.  See Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Company and Its Business” as disclosed in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2013.  


In addition, in February 2013, we obtained a formal letter from Can-Fite stating that Can-Fite would defer receiving payments owed to it under the Services Agreement beginning on January 31, 2013 for the performance of the clinical trials of CF101 in ophthalmic indications until the completion of a fundraising by the Company.  Any such deferred payments will bear interest at a rate of 3% per annum from the due date of each invoice issued by Can-Fite to the Company until the time the Company makes such deferred payments.  For a long term solution, including financing our activities beyond 2013, we will need to seek additional capital for the purpose of further testing our products, managing our business and obtaining certifications necessary in order to market them.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since our acquisition of all the outstanding interests in Eyefite (the “Transaction”) which took place on November 21, 2011, the closing date of the Transaction, we have funded our operations primarily through the private placement of shares of our Common Stock.  In such private placement, the Company raised approximately $3,497,000 in net proceeds after the deduction of offering expenses.  On March 31, 2013, we held approximately $530,000 in cash and cash equivalents, and have invested substantially all of our available cash funds in short-term bank deposits.  Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $195,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared with net cash used in operating activities of approximately $974,000 for the period for the fiscal quarter ended March 31. 2012.  The decrease in net cash used in operating activities during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the period ended March 31, 2012, was primarily because of prepaid expenses of drug kits paid during the period ended March 31, 2012.


Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $2,000 and zero respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the period ended March 31, 2012, was due to purchase of fixed assets.


There was no net cash provided by financing activities for the period ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.


Developing drugs, conducting clinical trials and commercializing products is expensive and we will need to raise substantial additional funds to achieve our strategic objectives.  Although we believe our existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund our current projected cash requirements to operate our business as currently conducted, we will require significant additional financing in the future to fund our operations during 2014 and beyond.  See Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Company and Its Business” as disclosed in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2013.  Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.  Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:


·

our ability to obtain regulatory approval or achieve commercial success of our product candidates, which currently includes only CF101;

·

the level of research and development investment required to develop our product candidates, and maintain and improve our patented or licensed technology position;

·

the costs of obtaining or manufacturing product candidates for research and development and testing;

·

the results of preclinical and clinical testing, which can be unpredictable in product candidate development and any decision to initiate additional preclinical or clinical studies;

·

changes in product candidate development plans needed to address any difficulties that may arise in manufacturing, preclinical activities or clinical studies;

·

our success in establishing and effecting out-licensing agreements with strategic partners, the terms of these agreements and the success of these potential future licensees and partners in selling our products;

·

our success rate in preclinical and clinical efforts associated with milestones and royalties, if applicable;

·

the costs of investigating patents that might block us from developing potential product candidates;

·

the costs of recruiting and retaining qualified personnel;

·

the costs, timing and outcomes involved in obtaining regulatory approvals;

·

the number of product candidates we pursue in the future;

·

our future revenues, if any;

·

the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

·

our need or decision to acquire or license complementary technologies or new platform or product candidate targets; and

·

the costs of financing unanticipated working capital requirements and responding to competitive pressures.


Until we can generate significant continuing revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financings, or by out-licensing our product candidate.  We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.  If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs or our commercialization efforts.


We are addressing our liquidity issues by implementing initiatives to raise additional funds as well as other measures that we believe will allow the coverage of our anticipated budget deficit. Such initiatives may include monetizing of our assets, by intention to realize our investment in Can-Fite’s shares.



- 17 -






In addition, in February 2013, we received a formal letter from Can-Fite agreeing to defer payments owed to it under the Services Agreement beginning on January 31, 2013 for the performance of the clinical trials of CF101 in ophthalmic indications until the completion of a fundraising by the Company.  Any such deferred payments will bear interest at a rate of 3% per annum from the due date of each invoice issued by Can-Fite to the Company until the time of payment by the Company.  We believe that the ability to defer such payments will assist us in addressing our liquidity needs.


There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us.  We currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit, or any other sources, other than the formal letter from Can-Fite agreeing to defer payments owed to it under the Services Agreement, as detailed above under “Plan of Operation”.  Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company beyond December 31, 2014.  See Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Company and Its Business” as disclosed in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2013.  As of the date of this report, we have no material capital commitments.


During the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, changes in inflation and other price changes did not materially affect our financial condition, business or operations.


Critical Accounting Policies


We prepare our unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP.  In doing so, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  In some cases, we could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates.  Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period.  Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates.  To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected.  We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.  We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates, which we discuss further below.  We have reviewed our critical accounting policies and estimates with our Board.


Holdings in Can-Fite:


In accordance with ASC320, an accounting for the Company’s investment in the equity securities depends on the remaining period of the tradability restriction in its respective market of the shares.


Shares that are restricted for less than one year should be re-measured to reflect fair value each cutoff date.  These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity under accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet.  The rest of the restricted shares that have trade restrictions for more than one year should be accounted as a financial asset, on a cost basis (based on the valuation of an expert as of transaction date).


For investments classified as available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity, realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.


The Company recognizes an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of its investments in debt securities is below the cost basis of such securities is judged to be other-than-temporary.  Factors considered in making such a determination include the duration and severity of the impairment, the reason for the decline in value, the potential recovery period and the Company’s intent to sell, including whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of cost basis.  For securities that are deemed other-than-temporarily impaired, the amount of impairment is recognized in “other than temporary impairment, net of gain on sale of marketable securities previously impaired” in the statement of income and is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.  


The Company currently holds 17,873,054 shares of Can-Fite’s issued and outstanding Ordinary shares which were acquired on November 21, 2011, and which have certain resale restriction provisions.  During the first year the shares were owned by the Company, none of the shares could be sold and then for the next eight consecutive quarters, not more than 12.5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company may be sold in each such quarter; provided that, the amount to be sold on any one day may not exceed the average daily trading volume during the eight-week period preceding such sale.



- 18 -






The investment in parent company fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and other inputs (such as risk free interest and volatility) that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Because part of our investment in Can-Fite’s shares is restricted, the Company needs to adjust the restricted shares’ fair value in order to reflect such restriction on such shares’ price.


For short-term restricted marketable securities, the Company adjusted the quoted market price in the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange of its investment in Parent Company's shares, to reflect the discount that results from the resale restriction provisions. In measuring the fair value the Company used a Protective Put Option model. In estimating the fair value, the Company used Black-Scholes option-pricing model. with the following weighted-average assumptions as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013: risk-free interest rates ranging from 1.66% to 1.74% and from 1.55% to 1.69%, respectively; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of 77.06% and 76.32%, respectively; and a weighted-average contractual life of the options of between 0.14 and 0.90 years.


For long-term restricted marketable securities, the rest of the restricted shares that have trade restrictions for more than one year are accounted as a financial asset, on a cost basis, based on the valuation of an expert as of December 31, 2012, after the effect of other-than temporary impairment. In measuring the fair value the Company used a Protective Put Option model. In estimating the fair value, the Company used Black-Scholes option-pricing model. with the following weighted-average assumptions as of December 31, 2012: risk-free interest rates ranging from 1.78%, respectively; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of 76.40%; and a weighted-average contractual life of the options of between 1.14 and 1.64 years.


As of March 31, 2013, the Company holds $1,031,000 in marketable securities classified in short term assets ($399,000 of which has no trading restrictions and is measured according to the quoted market price in the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange), designated as available-for-sale and $261,000 in restricted marketable securities classified in long term assets, presented at cost basis as of March 31, 2013 (i.e., the Can-Fite shares).


As a result, the fair value of the Can-Fite shares held by the Company on the transaction date reflects the resale restrictions.  The fair value of these shares based on an external expert’s valuation as of March 31, 2013 was $1,292,000. For accounting purposes their fair value represents a discount of their shares’ market value of $305,000.


Income Taxes


The Company and its subsidiary account for income taxes and uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.  ASC 740 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 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 and its subsidiary provide a full valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely-than-not to be realized.


The Company adopted ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740.  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.  As of March 31, 2013, this standard has no effect to the Company’s financial statements.


Concentrations of Credit Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, marketable securities, trade receivables and other account receivables.


Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major banks in Israel.  Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions.  Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are institutions with high credit standing, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

Derivative Related to Services Agreement


In connection with the recapitalization transaction described in Note 1.b of the consolidated financial statements, on November 21, 2011, the Company entered into the Services Agreement.


According to the Services Agreement, as additional consideration for its services, the Company agreed to pay to Can-Fite additional fees (“Additional Fees”) equal to 2.5% of any revenues received by the Company (or any affiliate of the Company including its wholly owned subsidiary, Eyefite) for rights to CF101 from third-party sublicensees (including up front payments, developmental or commercial milestones, royalties on net sales and any similar payments, but not including payments to support or reimburse the Company for research, development, manufacturing or commercial expenses or for equity).  Can-Fite has the right, at any time from November 21, 2011, until the fifth year anniversary thereof, to convert its Additional Fees right for royalties into a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,160,102 shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The exercise price for the Warrant is an aggregate of $2.5 million, based on a per share exercise price of $1.144.  The Warrant may also be exercised on a cashless basis.


The Company’s management has considered ASC 815 in order to evaluate whether the Exchange Right (contingent call option to holders) instrument is a financial instrument that has the characteristics of a derivative.  In particular, the Company’s management has also evaluated ASC 815-10-15-74(a) scope exception.


Based on the analysis above, the Company’s management concluded that the Exchange Right does not have fixed settlement provisions, and therefore, should be classified as a liability at inception.  The Exchange Right will be re-measured at fair value each reporting period until the date of exercise or expiration with the change in value reported in the statement of operations (as part of financial income/expenses).


Consequently, the Company recorded as part of the recapitalization transaction a liability related to the Exchange Right in the amount of $438,000 based on its fair value on November 21, 2011.  Issuance expenses that were allocated to this component, which amounted to $50,000, were expensed immediately and are included as part of financial expenses in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 7 of the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 for the re-measurement at year end).


The fair value of the derivatives was determined using the binomial option-pricing model.  This option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected term.


The fair value of the Derivative as of March 31, 2013 amounted to $411,000 and was determined using the binomial option-pricing model.  The aforementioned option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected term.


The Company considers an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and views an inactive market as one in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers.  Since the quoted market value of the Company’s Common Stock was based on a sporadically traded stock with little volume, the Company’s management determined the Company’s stock price fair value based on ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement using the income approach assisted by a third party specialist.  Consequently, the Company used the estimates stock price fair value in the underlying assumptions of the computation of the fair value of the derivative related to the Service Agreement.


Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 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 consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.


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 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 the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was calculated based upon historical volatilities of similar entities in the related sector index.
