REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

 

ROSETTA GENOMICS LTD.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rosetta Genomics Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders deficiency and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. 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 misstatements. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's and its subsidiary 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 and its subsidiary internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Since the date of completion of our audit of the accompanying financial statements and initial issuance of our report thereon dated April 2, 2012, which report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the Entity, as discussed in Note 1d, has completed several rounds of issuances of its ordinary shares resulting in aggregate net proceeds of $37,945. Therefore, the conditions that raised substantial doubt about whether the Company will continue as a going concern no longer exist.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

 

a.Rosetta Genomics Ltd. ("the Company") commenced operations on March 9, 2000. The Company's integrative research platform combining bioinformatics and state-of-the-art laboratory processes has led to the discovery of hundreds of biologically validated novel human microRNAs. Building on its strong patent position and proprietary platform technologies, Rosetta Genomics is working on the application of these technologies in the development of a full range of microRNA-based diagnostic tools. The Company's microRNA-based tests, miRview® squamous, miRview® mets, miRview® mets2, miRview® Lung and miRview® meso, are commercially available worldwide and all samples are processed in its Philadelphia-based CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified lab.

 

 

b.The Company holds a wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.S., Rosetta Genomics Inc. The principal business activity of the subsidiary is to commercialize the Company's products, perform and develop tests in its CLIA approved laboratory and expand the business development of the Company in the U.S.

 

 

c.Rosetta Green Ltd. ("RG").

 

On September 24, 2008, the Company signed a convertible note agreement with private investors ("the Purchasers") in an initiative for development of microRNA-based algae feedstocks for biofuels. The convertible note was for the purpose of establishing a separately operated business unit by forming a wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary to be named RG. During 2008 and 2009, the Purchasers purchased convertible notes in a total amount of $1,500. The notes were converted into a number of RG Ordinary shares, nominal value NIS 0.01, once RG was established, reflecting a fully-diluted pre-money valuation of RG equal to $5,000.

 

On February 4, 2010, the Company established RG, as a controlled subsidiary. The principal business of RG is to leverage capabilities into the areas of cleantech and plant biotech by using the proprietary microRNA technologies to develop plants and algae more suitable for various applications such as improved feedstocks for biofuels and advanced agriculture.

 

RG was formed to translate Rosetta Genomics' proven successes with microRNAs in human healthcare into areas of cleantech and plant biotechnology.   RG is an Israeli agro-biotechnology company specializing in developing  improved agricultural crops through using proprietary methods to identify microRNA genes that enhance plant traits. RG has developed technological platforms for the identification and application of microRNAs. These microRNA genes possess the potential to improve key traits in important plants such as corn, wheat, rice, and soybean, among other crops.  RG's product development pipeline contains plants with improved traits that include drought tolerance, increased yield production, and disease resistance. RG also works on improving plants traits for the biofuel industry. The plants RG works on for the biofuel industry are corn, canola, castor bean, jatropha and algae.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

 

Upon RG establishment, and according to the agreement terms, the convertible notes in the amount of $1,500 were converted into RG Ordinary shares.

 

On November 18, 2010, the Company entered into a license agreement with RG according to which the Company assigned certain patents relating to microRNAs in plants. The Company further provided RG with a non exclusive license to some of the Company's patents and technologies. For this license the Company shall be entitled to certain consideration derived from RG's net sales as well as royalties from RG's license income.

 

On February 17, 2011, RG completed an initial public offering in Israel, and on February 23, 2011, RG’s ordinary shares started trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) under the ticker symbol RSTG. RG raised gross proceeds of $6,060 in the IPO. Following the IPO, RG held 9,905,000 shares outstanding and the Company held a 50.03% ownership position in RG and did not loss control. The net proceeds from RG's IPO after offering costs amounted to $5,078.

 

On December 16, 2011, the Company closed a transaction pursuant to which the Company sold its holding of the ordinary shares of RG to certain purchasers (the "Purchasers").  The transaction was effected pursuant to a Share Transfer Agreement, dated December 13, 2011.  

 

Under the terms of the share transfer agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $897 for the RG ordinary shares.  In addition, the Company may receive in the future, an additional payment of $2,000 if RG is acquired within three years from the date of signing of the share transfer agreement at a price per share reflecting RG valuation of at least $90,000. As of December 31, 2011 the Company estimates that such contingent payment is remote.

 

Since RG was consolidated prior to the disposal it met the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations and, therefore, the results of operations of the business and the loss on the sale have been classified as discontinued operations loss in the statement of operations and prior periods results have been reclassified accordingly. In addition, the comparative data of the assets and liabilities have been reclassified as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations in the balance sheets as described in more detail in Note 2i.

 

As a result of the sale of RG shares the Company had a loss from discontinued operations of $42. The current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations related to RG as of December 31, 2010 are as follows:

e.Parkway Clinical Laboratories, Inc. ("Parkway"):

 

Parkway was a national, full-service Clinical Laboratories Improvement Amendments ("CLIA") certified clinical laboratory service that was owned by the Company. Parkway specializes in oral drug screening in the workplace environment and genetics testing services.

On May 18, 2009, the Company sold Parkway, in a management buy-out for up to a maximum amount of $2,500, to be paid as a fixed percentage of revenues (15%) over six years and minimum price of $750. According to ASC 810, "Consolidation", the Company calculated the fair value of future consideration by using discounted estimate of future cash receipt. As a result of the transaction, the controlling interests in Parkway were transferred to the buyer, as well as all the risks. Accordingly, the Company has no future liabilities or obligation related to Parkway. As of the transaction date, the fair value of the estimated future consideration was $759. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company received an amount of $0, $148 and $49, respectively, in respect of this consideration.

 

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company revalued the fair value of the estimated future consideration to $125 and $171, respectively, out of which $17 and $30 is recorded as short-term other accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $108 and $141 is recorded as long-term other accounts receivable as of

December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

The sale of Parkway met the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations and, therefore, the results of operations of the business and the loss on the sale have been classified as discontinued operations in the statement of operations and prior periods results have been reclassified accordingly. In addition, the comparative data of the assets and liabilities have been reclassified as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations in the balance sheets, as described in more detail in Note 2i.

 

As a result of the fair value update of the estimated future consideration, the Company recorded a loss of $60, which was attributed to discontinued operations, and an amount of $14 was attributed to financial income in the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

 

a.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.

 

b.Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

 

The Company's financing activities are incurred in U.S. dollars. A portion of the Company's costs is incurred in U.S. dollars. The Company's management believes that the U.S. dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.

 

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". All transaction gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

 

c.Principles of consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

d.Cash equivalents:

 

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

 

e.Short-term bank deposits:

 

Short-term bank deposits are deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year. The short-term deposits are presented at their cost.

 

f.Marketable securities:

 

The Company accounts for investments in debt securities and trust fund in accordance with ASC 320, "Investments-Debt and Equity Securities". Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities and trust fund at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Investments in marketable securities are accounted for at fair value, based on quoted market prices, and classified as either trading securities or available-for-sale securities. For investments classified as trading securities, unrealized and realized gains and losses related to the investment and are recorded in earnings. For investments classified as available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders' 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 operations.

 

g.Property and equipment:

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

The annual depreciation rates are as follows:

 

   %
    
Computer equipment  33
Office furniture and laboratory equipment  7 - 15 (mainly 15)
Leasehold improvement  Over the shorter of the lease
term or useful economic life

 

h.Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

The long-lived assets of the Company and its subsidiary and all identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, "Property, Plant and Equipment - Subsequent Measurement"/ ASC 250, "Presentation of Financial Statements", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. 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, 2011 and 2010, no impairment losses have been identified.

 

i.Discontinued operation:

 

According to ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" and ASC 205, "Presentation of Financial Statements" when a component of an entity, as defined in ASC 360, has been disposed of, the results of its operations, including the gain or loss on its disposal should be classified as discontinued operations when the operations and cash flows of the component have been eliminated from the Company's consolidated operations and the Company will no longer have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component.

j.Revenue recognition:

 

The Company generates revenues from sells diagnostic kits to its private patient or third-party distributor. The Company provides laboratory services of testing the results in its lab in the U.S.

 

Revenues from sales of the Company's products are recognized in accordance with "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("ASC 605") when delivery of tests result has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the vendor's fee is fixed or determinable and no further obligation exists and collectability is probable. In arrangements, primarily with private patients, in which prior to delivery the patient's third-party insurance provider has not contractually set the sale prices, the Company does not recognize revenue until the fees are fixed and determinable and collectability assured.

 

In addition, in prior years, the Company generated revenues from collaboration research agreements under which the Company delivers novel product candidates and professional services and may receive future milestones and royalties on successful products.

 

Revenues from collaborative agreements consist primarily of royalty payments, payments for research and developmental services, up-front fees and milestone payments. If an arrangement requires the delivery or performance of multiple deliverables or service elements, the Company determines whether the individual elements represent "separate units of accounting" under the requirements of ASC 605-25 "Multiple-Element Arrangements".

 

If the separate elements meet the requirements of ASC 605-25, the Company recognizes the revenue associated with each element separately and revenue is allocated among elements based on relative fair value. If the elements within a multiple deliverable arrangement are not considered separate units of accounting, the delivery of an individual element is considered not to have occurred if there are undelivered elements that are considered essential to the arrangement. Revenue resulting from the achievement of contingent milestone events stipulated in the agreements is recognized when the milestone is achieved. Milestones are based upon the occurrence of a substantive element specified in the contract.

 

Royalties from licensing the right to use the Company's products are recognized when earned and when written sales confirmation from the licensee is received and no future obligation exists. Non-refundable, up front advancements of royalties from licensing the right to use the Company's products which are fully chargeable against royalties, are recorded as deferred revenue until the above mentioned criteria for recognizing revenue are met.

 

Deferred revenues represent payments received in advance, where revenue recognition criteria were not met. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has deferred revenue in an amount of $228.

k.Research and development expenses, net:

 

Research and development expenses include costs of salaries and related expenses, activities related to intellectual property, research materials and supplies and equipment depreciation. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has entered into several license agreements for rights to utilize certain technologies. The terms of the licenses may provide for upfront payments, annual maintenance payments and royalties on product sales. Costs to acquire and maintain licensed technology are charged to research and development expense as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company charged to research and development expense $344, $123 and $135 of costs associated with license fees, respectively. (See also Note 9f-9k).

 

Royalty bearing grants from the Bi-national Industrial Research and Development Foundation ("BIRD") and from the Chief Scientist of Israel's Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor ("the OCS") for funding approved research and development projects, are presented as a reduction from the research and development expenses (see also Note 9.l). The Company received grants in an amount of $206, $0 and $297, in the years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

l.Accounting for stock-based compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation". 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 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 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. Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures.

 

The Company selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its stock-options awards and values restricted stock based on the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. 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.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the 12 months ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $7.35 $56.4 and $74.4, respectively per share using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions (annualized percentages):

 

 

   Year ended December 31,
   2011  2010  2009
          
Dividend yield  0%  0%  0%
Expected volatility  88%  61%-67%  61%-75%
Risk-free interest  1.2%  1.8%  2.35%
Expected life  5-6 years  5.5-6.25 years  5-6.25 years

 

The Company is required to assume a dividend yield as an input in the Black-Scholes model. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's historical experience and expectation of future dividend payouts. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends. The dividend yield used for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 0%.

 

The computation of expected volatility is based on realized historical stock price volatility of the Company's stock starting from the IPO date.

 

The risk-free interest rate assumption is the implied yield currently available on United States treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life term of the Company's options.

 

The Company determined the expected life of the options according to the simplified method, average of vesting and the contractual term of the Company's stock options.

 

The Company applies ASC 718 and ASC 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees" with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees. ASC 718 requires the use of option valuation models to measure the fair value of the options and warrants at the measurement date.

 

m.Net loss per share:

 

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings 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 260, "Earnings per Share".

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, all outstanding options, warrants and Preferred shares, if any, have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share since their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

n.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 valuation allowance, if necessary, 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.

 

o.Severance pay:

 

A majority of the employees are included under section 14 of the Israeli Severance Compensation Law ("Section 14"). Under Section 14, the company's monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of such employees' monthly salary, are made on their behalf with insurance companies on account of severance pay. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Israeli companies from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. Deposits under Section 14 are not recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.

 

For those Israeli employees who are not included under Section 14, the 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 the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Israeli subsidiary's liability for all of its employees is fully provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies and by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and includes immaterial profits.

 

Severance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $173, $225 and $138, respectively.

 

The U.S. subsidiary has a 401(K) defined contribution plan covering certain employees in the U.S. All eligible employees may elect to contribute to the plan. The subsidiary matches the employee contributions to the plan up to a limit of 3% of their eligible compensation. In the years 2011, 2010 and 2009, the subsidiary recorded an expense for matching contributions in the amount of $30, $48 and $22, respectively.

 

p.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 accounts receivable.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major banks in Israel and major banks in the United States. 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.

 

q.Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their generally short-term maturities.

 

The Company adopted ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". ASC 820 clarifies that 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. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

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

 

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

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.

 

r.Impact of recently issued Accounting Standards:

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP. This pronouncement is an authoritative guidance to amend certain measurement and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to improve consistency with international reporting standards. This guidance is effective prospectively for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of ASU 2011-04, but does not expect its adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which specifies that the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are to be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. No change has been made in the items to be reported in comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of ASU 2011-05, but does not expect its adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in Update 2011-5 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

In accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" (originally issued as SFAS 157), the Company measures its marketable securities at fair value based on quoted market price. The Company valued the level 3 other accounts receivable, which resulted from the fair value of Parkway's estimated future consideration based on a valuation using the discounted cash flow model. Unobservable inputs used in this model are significant to the fair value of the asset. The fair value of the liability for warrants related to share purchase agreement was calculated using the Black & Scholes Model and the Company classified this liability within Level 3.

 

The Company's financial assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding accrued interest components, consisted of the following types of instruments as of December 31, 2011:

purchase price of $11.25. In addition, the Company granted additional warrants as finders' fee to purchase up to 3,378 Ordinary shares. The Series A' Warrants expire on October 19, 2016.

 

According to Series B' Warrants agreement, each Series B' Warrant will be automatically exercised on a cashless basis on the 11th trading day following November 10, 2011, to a number of ordinary shares equal to the difference between (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) 200% of the maximum number of warrant Shares issuable under the Series B' warrant multiplied by $11.25 by (2) the greater of $7.5 and 80% of the average of the volume-weighted average price for the 10 trading days immediately following November 10, 2011 and (b) the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable under the Series B' warrant multiplied by 2.

 

On November 28, 2011, the Series B' Warrants were automatically exercised on a cashless basis to 65,748 Ordinary shares. Upon the conversion of Series B' Warrants, the fair value of Series B' Warrants was classified as equity.

 

The Company accounted for the Series A' and B' Warrants according to the provisions of ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity", and based on certain terms of the warrants, classified them as liabilities, measured at fair value in each reporting period until they are exercised or expired with changes in the fair values being recognized in the Company's statement of operations as financial income or expense.

 

The fair value of the Series A' Warrants was measured using Black & Scholes model. In estimating the warrants' fair value, the Company used the following assumptions:

 

   Issuance
date
   December 31,
2011
 
           
Risk-free interest rate   1.1%   0.9%

NOTE 11:- INCOME TAXES

 

a.Measurement of taxable income under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985:

 

Results for tax purposes in Israel are measured and reflected in real terms in accordance with the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until the end of 2007. As explained in Note 2b, the consolidated financial statements are presented in dollars. The differences between the change in the Israeli CPI and in the NIS/dollar exchange rate causes a difference between taxable income or loss and the income or loss before taxes reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with paragraph 9(f) of ASC 740, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on this difference between the reporting currency and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

 

According to the law, until 2007 the results for tax purposes were adjusted for changes in the Israeli CPI.

 

In February 2008, the "Knesset" (Israeli parliament) passed an amendment to the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985, which limits the scope of the law starting 2008 and thereafter. Starting 2008, the results for tax purposes are measured in nominal values, excluding certain adjustments for changes in the Israeli CPI carried out in the period up to December 31, 2007. The amendment to the law includes, inter alia, the elimination of the inflationary additions and deductions and the additional deduction for depreciation starting 2008.

 

b.Tax benefits under Israel's Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969 ("the Tax Law"):

 

The Company is currently qualified as an "industrial company", as defined by the Tax Law, and as such, is entitled to certain tax benefits, mainly amortization of costs relating to know-how and patents over eight years, the right to claim public issuance expenses over three years, and accelerated depreciation.

c.Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law"):

 

The Company's production facilities in Israel have been granted "Approved Enterprise" status under the Law currently under separate investment programs. Pursuant to the Law, the Company elected the "Alternative Benefits Track" and has waived Government grants in return for tax exemption.

 

The main benefit arising from such status is the reduction in tax rates on income derived from "Approved Enterprises". Consequently, the Company is entitled to a two-year tax exemption and five years of tax at a reduced rate (25%).

 

Additionally, if the Company becomes a "foreign investors company", as defined by the Law, as such it will be entitled to a reduced tax rate of 10%-25% (based on the percentage of foreign ownership in each tax year) and an extension of three years for the benefit period. Since the Company has had no taxable income, the benefits have not yet commenced for any of the programs.

 

The period of tax benefits, detailed above, is subject to a limit of 12 years from the commencement of production, or 14 years from the approval date, whichever is earlier. The year's limitation does not apply to the exemption period.

 

The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of approval for the specific investments in "Approved Enterprises". In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be canceled and the Company would be required to refund the amount of tax benefits, plus a consumer price index linkage adjustment and interest.

 

As of December 31, 2011, management believes that the Company will be able to meet all of the aforementioned conditions.

 

If these retained tax-exempt profits attributable to the "Approved Enterprise" are distributed in a manner other than in the complete liquidation of the Company, they would be taxed at the corporate tax rate at the applicable rate (10%-25%) in respect of the gross amount of the amount that the Company distributed. The Company is required to withhold tax at the source at a rate of 15% from any dividends distributed from income derived from the Approved Enterprise.

 

Income from sources other than the "Approved Enterprise" during the benefit period will be subject to tax at the regular corporate tax rate.

NOTE 11:- INCOME TAXES (Cont.)

 

On April 1, 2005, an amendment to the Law came into effect ("the Amendment") and has significantly changed the provisions of the Law. The Amendment limits the scope of enterprises, which may be approved by the Investment Center by setting criteria for the approval of a facility as a Beneficiary Enterprise such as provision generally requiring that at least 25% of the Beneficiary Enterprise's income will be derived from export. Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax benefits are awarded under the Law so that companies no longer require Investment Center approval in order to qualify for tax benefits.

 

If the Company pays a dividend out of income derived from the Beneficiary Enterprise during the tax exemption period, such income will be subject to corporate tax at the applicable rate (10%-25%) in respect of the gross amount of the dividend that the Company may be distributed. The Company is required to withhold tax at the source at a rate of 15% from any dividends distributed from income derived from the Beneficiary Enterprise. Under the Amendment, the benefit period for the Company will be extended until the earlier of (1) seven years from the commencement year or (2) twelve years from the first day of the year of election. This period may be extended for a Beneficiary Enterprise owned by a "foreign investor's company" during all or part of the benefit period.

 

However, the Amendment provides that terms and benefits included in any letter of approval already granted will remain subject to the provisions of the Law as they were on the date of such approval.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not generate income under the Law prior to and after the Amendment.

 

Amendments to the Law:

 

In December 2010, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Policy for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011, which prescribes, among others, amendments to the Law. The amendment became effective as of January 1, 2011. According to the amendment, the benefit tracks in the Law were modified and a flat tax rate applies to the Company's entire preferred income. The Company will be able to opt to apply (the waiver is non-recourse) the amendment and from then on it will be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15% (in development area A - 10%), 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% (in development area A - 7%) and in 2015 and thereafter - 12% (in development area A - 6%).

 

The Company examined the possible effect of the amendment on the financial statements, if at all, and at this time do not believe it will opt to apply the amendment.

d.Tax rates applicable to the income of the Company:

Taxable income of the Company is subject to tax at the rate of 26% in 2009, 25% in 2010 and 24% in 2011.

 

On December 5, 2011, the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) passed the Law for Tax Burden Reform (Legislative Amendments), 2011 ("the Law") which, among others, cancels effective from 2012, the scheduled progressive reduction in the corporate tax rate. The Law also increases the corporate tax rate to 25% in 2012. In view of this increase in the corporate tax rate to 25% in 2012, the real capital gains tax rate and the real betterment tax rate were also increased accordingly.

 

 

e.Deferred income taxes:

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2011   2010 
Tax asset in respect of:        
Operating loss carryforward and deductions  $22,642   $17,081 
Reserves, allowances and other   15    54 
           
Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance   22,657    17,135 
Valuation allowance   (22,657)   (17,135)
           
Net deferred tax asset  $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has provided valuation allowances of $22,657 and $17,135, respectively, in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforward and other temporary differences. Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carryforward and the other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

f.The main reconciling item between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate is the recognition of valuation allowances in respect of deferred taxes relating to accumulated net operating losses carried forward among the various subsidiary worldwide due to the uncertainty of the realization of such deferred taxes and the effect of the "Approved Enterprise".

 

g.Net operating losses carryforward:

i.The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 for uncertain tax positions on January 1, 2007, and there was no effect on the financial statements. As a result, the Company did not record any cumulative effect related to adopting ASC 740 for uncertain tax positions. The Company did not record a liability deriving from the implementation of ASC 740 for uncertain tax positions.
