DIRECTORS' REPORT ON THE COMPANY'S STATE OF AFFAIRS

 

AS OF JUNE 30, 2012

 

The board of directors of XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. ("the Company") hereby presents the Company directors' report for the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012.

 

The data presented in this report relate to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis ("the Group"), unless explicitly stated otherwise.

 

The directors' report contains, among other, a brief description of the Company's business, its financial position, an analysis of operating results and the effect of events during the reported period on the data in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2012 ("the financial statements"). The directors' report was prepared based on the assumption that the reader also has at its disposal the directors' report for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

1.PART 1 - THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' EXPLANATIONS FOR THE STATE OF THE CORPORATION'S BUSINESS

 

1.1A brief description of the Company's business

 

The Company was incorporated under the Israeli Companies Law on March 9, 1993. The Company is engaged in the development of therapeutics, among others, for the treatment of unmet medical needs, improvement of existing medical treatment and business development in the medical realm.

 

After the date of the statement of financial position, the Company acquired approximately 50.79% of the issued and outstanding share capital of InterCure Ltd. ("InterCure") a public company whose shares are traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and which is engaged in research, development, marketing and sales of home therapeutic devices for non-medicinal and non-invasive treatment of various diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, sleeplessness and mental stress. For additional details regarding this acquisition, see items 1.2.10 and 4.1.1 below.

 

A-1
 

 

As of the reporting date, the Company is in the planning and preparation stages for implementing Phase 2 clinical trial of rHuEPO drug designated to treat multiple myeloma cancer patients. As part of these preparations, the Company conducts a research which includes collection of data relating to the level of specific proteins in the blood of a group of patients with multiple myeloma, which will assist in focusing the Phase 2 clinical trial protocol. These collected research data will be integrated in the above Phase 2 clinical trial. The Company expanded this research to additional centers in order to collect data beyond the original research plan and it estimates that the research will conclude towards the end of 2012. With the conclusion of the above research, the Company will start the procedure to apply for an approval to commence Phase 2 clinical trial which the Company estimates is expected to be issued by the end of the first half of 2013.

 

On May 29, 2011, the Company has received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a sub-unit of the Health and Human Services (HHS) an orphan drug designation for its rHuEPO drug for the treatment of multiple myeloma blood cancer for which it owns a patent through 2019.

 

An "orphan drug" is defined as a drug for treating diseases that affect a small number of people. In U.S., an "orphan drug" is defined as a disease affecting fewer than 200,000 people a year. To encourage the development of drugs for these diseases, the different regulatory authorities grant benefits and incentives to developers. The main standard benefit of orphan drugs in the U.S. is receiving seven years marketing exclusivity from the date of marketing approval by the FDA, as far as the FDA gives such approval. Other benefits are local U.S. tax credits for research and development expenses and waiver of FDA filing fees.

 

On November 30, 2011, the Company completed the MinoGuard transaction in the framework of which the Company acquired the activity of MinoGuard Ltd. ("MinoGuard"), which was founded by Mor Research Applications Ltd. ("Mor"), by an exclusive license to use MinoGuard's entire technology, including the SAM-101 drug, a combined drug for the treatment of mental disorders focusing on schizophrenia disorder in return for royalties on sales and milestone payments throughout the clinical development process, without making any other payment. This drug is based on a combination of existing anti-psychotic drugs and a recognized medicinal compound (Minocycline).

 

For additional details regarding the MinoGuard agreements, see Note 15a to the consolidated financial statements for 2011.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company has several subsidiaries (all are wholly-owned) as detailed below:

 

a.Xtepo Ltd. ("Xtepo") - an Israeli privately-held company incorporated in November 2009 and which holds a license for the exclusive use of the patent for rHuEPO drug for multiple myeloma (see also Note 1 to the Company's financial statements).

 

b.XTL Biopharmaceuticals Inc. ("XTL Inc.") a U.S. company incorporated in 1999 under the laws of the State of Delaware and was engaged in development of therapeutics and business development in the medical realm. XTL Inc. has a wholly-owned subsidiary (a sub-subsidiary of the Company), XTL Development Inc. ("XTL Development"), which was incorporated in 2007 under the laws of the State of Delaware and was engaged in development of therapeutics for the treatment of diabetic neuropathic pain ("Bicifadine"). In March 2010, the Company terminated the agreement with DOV Pharmaceutical Inc., the owner of the Bicifadine patent, and all rights under the agreement were reverted to DOV in coordination with it. As of the date of the approval of the financial statements, the companies XTL Inc. and XTL Development are inactive.

 

The Company is a public company traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and its American Depository Receipts (ADRs) are quoted on the Pink Sheets (see also item 1.2.8 below).

Also, besides the Company's investment in InterCure, a third party ("Medica Fund") will invest in InterCure an amount of approximately $ 630 thousand. The principles and terms of the transaction are specified below:

 

InterCure will act to complete a debt settlement pursuant to section 350 to the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, prior to the closing of the transaction, according to which InterCure will convert its entire debts into Ordinary shares of InterCure based on a distribution agreed upon by InterCure and its creditors ("the settlement").

InterCure will be allocated Ordinary shares of the Company and/or will receive a cash investment in an aggregate amount of $ 2.2 million, at the Company's sole discretion, based on the market price of the Company's share on the date of signing the agreement in principles and according to a $ 1.75 million pre-money valuation of InterCure but after all of InterCure's debts are converted as discussed above ("InterCure's adjusted value").

 

In addition, the Company will provide InterCure an amount of approximately $ 480 thousand in cash, of which an amount of approximately $ 150 thousand will be invested on the basis of InterCure's adjusted value. The investment of Medica Fund on the basis of InterCure's adjusted value will amount to approximately $ 460 thousand. After effecting the above allocation, the Company will hold about 50.79% of the issued and outstanding share capital of InterCure.

 

Further, the Company and Medica Fund have undertaken to provide InterCure a loan of $ 500 thousand (the Company's share is $ 330 thousand) for a period of up to ten months at total interest rate of 15%. The Company and Medica Fund have the right to convert the loan into additional 11,546,507 shares of InterCure (the Company's share is 7,620,695 shares) which will constitute, upon conversion and assuming full dilution, approximately 24.47% of the issued and outstanding share capital of InterCure (the Company's share is 16.15% of the issued and outstanding share capital of InterCure). With the conversion of the loan in full, the Company's overall holding in InterCure will be approximately 54.72% of the issued and outstanding share capital of InterCure.

A-7
 

 

The closing of the transaction was contingent on the fulfillment of several prerequisites such as the approval of InterCure's holders of debentures (series A) and holders of debentures (series B), the holders of private debentures and remaining creditors of InterCure, the approval of InterCure's audit committee and Board, the approval of the meetings of the holders of InterCure's each securities and of its creditors in the context of the settlement and the court's approval of said settlement and obtaining all the required approvals of the relevant authorities such as the Israeli Tax Authority, the Israel Securities Authority, the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and etc.

 

As for the closing of the transaction after the date of the statement of financial position, see item 4.1.1 below.

 

1.2.11

On April 12, 2012, the Company entered into an unbinding letter of intent with Kitov pharmaceuticals Ltd. ("Kitov") according to which the Company intends to acquire the entire share capital of Kitov in consideration of the allocation of Company shares and milestone payments throughout the development progress of Kitov's products. Kitov researches and develops combination drugs. Kitov's lead drug is ready for a Phase 3 clinical trial and is focused on pain induced by osteoarthritis and treatment of hypertension. On June 18, 2012, the Company's Board approved to enter into an agreement according to which the Company will acquire the entire issued and outstanding share capital of Kitov subject to the fulfillment of certain prerequisites, as reported in the Tel-Aviv Securities Stock Exchange on June 19, 2012 ("the agreement").

 

It was also decided that if by September 15, 2012, or any other subsequent day as determined with the parties' mutual consent, the prerequisites underlying the agreement are not fulfilled, the agreement will be cancelled. Furthermore, if the schedules to the agreement or a due diligence study are not completed based on the schedules determined in the agreement, each party will have the right to cancel the agreement with no claim to the other party. As of the date of the approval of the financial statements, there is no certainty that the transaction will be completed on the date and under the outline mentioned above.

 

It should be noted that the parties have signed several extensions for the interim periods in order to meet some of the prerequisites underlying the agreement and changes to the agreement terms.

  

A-8
 

  

1.2.12During the period, holders of the Company's warrants exercised 4,995,000 warrants (series 2) into 4,995,000 Ordinary shares of NIS 0.1 par value each at an average exercise price equal to NIS 1.05 per share. The total consideration received from the exercise of warrants (series 2) amounted approximately $ 1.4 million (approximately NIS 5.2 million). See item 4.1.2 below regarding the exercise of warrants after the date of the statement of financial position.

 

A-9
 

 

1.3The financial position, operating results, liquidity and financing resources

 

The Company has recurring losses and no revenues from operations at this stage and it is dependent on external financing sources. During the period, the Company raised through a private placement and exercise of tradable and non-tradable warrants from March 2012 to the date of the approval of the financial statements total net proceeds of approximately $ 4.2 million (for additional details, see items 1.2.4, 1.2.12 and 4.1.2). In the opinion of the Company's management and based on its business plans, the balances of cash and cash equivalents with the balances of short-term deposits will enable the Company to fund its activities through at least into 2014. However, the actual amount of cash the Company will need to fund its operations is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to, the timing, design and execution of the clinical trials of our existing drug candidates, any future projects which may be in-licensed/acquired or any other business development activities. For example, changing circumstances and/or in-licenses/acquisitions of new technologies may cause the Company to consume capital significantly faster than the management's current anticipation and the Company may need to spend more money than currently expected because, among others, of circumstances beyond its control.

 

The Company will incur additional losses during the year from research and development activities, examination of additional technologies and from current operation which will be reflected in negative cash flows from operating activities. Accordingly, in order to complete the clinical trials to bring a product to market the Company will be required to raise additional cash in the future through the issuance of securities. However, if the Company is not able to raise additional capital at acceptable terms, the Company may be required to reduce operations or sell or out-license to third parties some or all of our technologies.

Intangible assets   2,457    34%   2,457    60%
Current liabilities   741    10%   629    15%

 

Equity

 

The Company's equity as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $ 6,506 thousand, an increase of approximately $ 3,062 thousand from December 31, 2011, representing about 90% of total balance sheet compared to 85% of total balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. The increase in equity is a result of the fundraising which the Company effected under a private placement from March 2012 and exercise of warrants (series 2) by holders of warrants during the period for total net proceeds of approximately $ 3.8 million (see items 1.2.4 and 1.2.12 above), less the loss for the period.

 

Assets

 

Total current assets as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $ 4,759 thousand, an increase of approximately $ 3,175 thousand, compared to approximately $ 1,584 thousand as of December 31, 2011. The change is primarily a result of increase in the Group's carrying amount of cash and short-term deposits which as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $ 4,630 thousand, an increase of approximately $ 3,135 thousand, compared to the carrying amount of cash and short-term deposits of approximately $ 1,495 thousand as of December 31, 2011. The increase is explained by the cash received under fundraising through private placement and exercise of warrants (series 2), as above, less negative cash flows from operating activities in the reporting period.

 

A-11
 

 

The carrying amount of accounts receivables in the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 109 thousand, compared to approximately $ 68 thousand as of December 31, 2011 - with no material change.

 

Property, plant and equipment as of June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 31 thousand, compared to approximately $ 32 thousand December 31, 2011 - with no material change.

 

The carrying amount of intangible assets as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $ 2,457 thousand with no material change compared to December 31, 2011, and comprises mainly the license to rHuEPO drug for multiple myeloma which was acquired in the Bio-Gal transaction from August 3, 2010.

 

Current liabilities

 

The carrying amount of current liabilities as of June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 741 thousand, compared to approximately $ 629 thousand as of December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily a result of the growth in the line item service providers, among others, legal and consulting services in connection with the InterCure transaction, application for relisting the ADRs on the NASDAQ and increase in liability for a bonus to employees in respect of the fundraising during the period as discussed above.

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 43 thousand and $ 26 thousand, respectively, compared to approximately $ 88 thousand and $ 45 thousand, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last year. Research and development expenses comprise mainly expenses involved in the preparation to carry out the development plan for rHuEPO drug Phase 2 clinical trial designed to treat cancer patients with multiple myeloma comprising, among others, research relating to the level of proteins in the blood of patients with multiple myeloma, medical regulation, clinical insurance and other medical consulting costs. The decrease in expenses compared to the corresponding periods of last year is primarily attributable to completing the amortization of the exclusive right to examine medical technology in the field of the immune system at the end of 2011.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 975 thousand and $ 591 thousand, respectively, compared to approximately $ 542 thousand and $ 251 thousand, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last year. The increase is principally explained by the increase in the line item service providers, among others, legal, professional and technological consulting services in connection with the InterCure transaction and application for relisting the ADRs on the NASDAQ, increase in expenses for share-based payment to directors and employees which reflect the grant of options during the period and also increase relating to a bonus to employees in respect of the fundraising during the period as discussed above.

 

Other gains, net

 

The Company had no other gains in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 and in the corresponding periods of last year.

 

Finance income (expenses) (net)

 

Finance expenses, net in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 26 thousand and $ 58 thousand, respectively, compared to finance income, net in the amount of approximately $ 48 thousand and $ 16 thousand, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last year. The increase in finance expenses is mainly due to exchange differences deriving from the appreciation of the dollar in relation to the NIS on the net balance of monetary NIS-assets less interest income on short-term bank deposits.

 

A-13
 

 

Taxes on income

 

The Company had no tax expenses (income) in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 and in the corresponding periods of last year.

 

Loss for the period

 

Loss in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 1,044 thousand and $ 675 thousand, respectively, compared to loss of approximately $ 582 thousand and $ 280 thousand, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last year. The increase in loss is principally explained by the increase in the line item service providers, among others, legal, professional and technological consulting services in connection with the InterCure transaction and application for relisting the ADRs on the NASDAQ, increase in expenses for share-based payment to directors and employees which reflect the grant of options during the period, increase relating to a bonus to employees in respect of the fundraising during the period as discussed above and also increase in finance expenses as elaborated above.

 

Basic and diluted loss in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 amounted to approximately $ 0.005 and $ 0.003 per share, respectively, compared to approximately $ 0.003 and $ 0.001 per share, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last year. The increase in loss per share derives from the increase in loss for the period compared to the corresponding periods of last year less the effect of the increase in the number of shares used in the computation of loss per share in the period which embedded the number of shares issued under the private placement from March 2012 and the exercise of warrants during the period in average over the period since their issuance.

 

Cash flows

 

Cash flows used in operating activities in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 627 thousand and $ 344 thousand, respectively, compared to cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $ 743 thousand and $ 334 thousand, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last year, a decrease of approximately $ 116 thousand and increase of approximately $ 10 thousand, respectively which is mainly a result of the corresponding periods of last year when payments of debts from the current period and from previous periods were made to suppliers and service providers close to the public issuance of March 2011.

 

A-14
 

 

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ (640) thousand and $ (1,621) thousand, respectively, compared to approximately $ (1,829) thousand and $ 23 thousand, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last year. The principal investing activities in the reporting periods are movements in short-term bank deposits (more than 3 months) which are classified either in operating activities or investing activities, as appropriate.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities in the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $ 3,806 thousand and $ 36 thousand, respectively, and they stem from fundraising under the private placement from March 2012 and the exercise of warrants (series 2) during the period. In the corresponding periods of last year, cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $ 1,751 thousand and $ (15) thousand and they stem from fundraising under the Israeli public prospectus from March 2011 as above less issuance expenses paid during the period.

 

1.3.3Financing resources

 

The Group has no revenues from operations at this stage and it funds its operations from its own capital and from current credit from suppliers and service providers. As of June 30, 2012, the Company's carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits amounted to approximately $ 4,650 thousand. During the period, the Company raised under a private placement (from March 2012) and exercise of warrants (series 2) during the period a total net amount of approximately $ 3.8 million (see items 1.2.4 and 1.2.12 above). Also, from the date of the statement of financial position through the date of the approval of the financial statements, 743,806 warrants (series 2) and 560,000 warrants (series A) were exercised into 1,303,806 Ordinary shares of the Company of NIS 0.1 par value each for a total amount of approximately $ 0.4 million.

2.PART 2 - EXPOSURE TO MARKET RISKS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT

 

2.1Exposure to market risks and their management

 

a.The person responsible for managing market risks in the Group is Ronen Twito, the Company's Deputy CEO and CFO.

 

b.Description of the market risks to which the Group is exposed - the Group's activities expose it to a variety of market risks including the changes in the exchange rates of the NIS in relation to the dollar (the Company's functional currency).

 

c.The policy of the Group in managing market risks - on March 29, 2012, the Company's Board determined that the Company's management is authorized to act to hold NIS at the required amount for the repayment of NIS-denominated liabilities from time to time and as timely suitable for a consecutive period of nine to twelve months each time.

 

d.Supervision of risk management policy - the Group identifies and assesses the principal risks facing it. The financial risks management is performed by the Group subject to the policy approved by the Company's Board.

 

2.1.1Exchange rate risk

 

Substantially all of the Company's expenses are denominated in dollars against which the Company holds its available liquid resources in or linked to dollars. Nevertheless, some of the expenses are denominated in NIS, which creates exposure to the changes in the exchange rate of the NIS in relation to the dollar. The Company acts to minimize the currency risk by holding its liquid resources in NIS up to the amount of its liabilities in NIS based on management anticipation, as above.

 

As a hedge against economic exposure, which does not significantly contradict the accounting exposure, the Company holds substantially all of its current assets in or linked to dollar.

 

A-16
 

 

2.1.2Risks arising from changes in the economic environment and the global financial crisis

 

In recent years, the world has experienced several events both in the political-security realm and in the economic realm which have trembled the international markets in general and the Israeli market in particular. The noteworthy of these events in the political-security realm are the violent turmoil in neighbor countries which in part have led to dramatic changes in regimes as well as escalated world tension against Iran on the background of its nuclear program.

 

As for the economic crisis which already lasts for several years, during the recent year, the European economic condition was deteriorated as reflected, among others, by lowering the credit rating of several countries in the euro-block by international rating agencies including France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Cyprus and Slovenia. These credit downgrading have led to resignation of prime ministers in part of the countries because they were asked to extensive budget cuts.

 

Also, during 2011, one of the rating companies lowered the credit rating of the U.S.

 

The Group's management estimates that since the Group's investment policy is to invest only in bank deposits in currencies that are used for its current needs (dollar, which is the Group's functional currency and NIS - based on its needs and the Board's decision), it is not directly exposed to changes in the market prices of quoted securities. Also, since the Group is in development stages and has no revenues from operations at this stage and its expenses budget relies on several suppliers and service providers the events described above have relatively low impact on its results, compared to selling products companies. Nevertheless, since the Group funds its operation mainly from its own capital, as above, the events described above can have a significant effect on the Group's ability to raise funds in the future in order to finance its plans and activity which may require the Company to limit its activity, sale or out license to third parties some or all of its technologies (see Note 1b to the financial statements).

At the meeting of the committee in which the financial statements are discussed, the CEO and Deputy CEO and CFO review in a detailed manner the key points of the financial statements, the Company's financial results, financial position and cash flows. This presentation comprises an analytical analysis and it gives details of the composition of and movement in material items and a comparison is made to previous periods.

 

In the meeting, a discussion is held in the issue of estimates and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the financial statements as well as valuations used in the preparation of the financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting.

Auditors' review Report to the shareholders of XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd.

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd (hereafter - the company) and its subsidiaries, which includes the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2012 and the related condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the six and three month periods then ended. The Board of Directors and management are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", and they are also responsible to draw up interim financial information based on Chapter D to the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with Israeli Review Standard No. 1, issued by the Israeli Institute of Certified Public Accountants, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

 

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

 

In addition to what is said in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure provisions of Chapter D of the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

The Company was incorporated under the Israeli Companies Law on March 9, 1993. The registered office of the Company is located at Medinat Hayehudim 85 Street, Herzliya 46766. The Company owns 100% of Xtepo Ltd. ("Xtepo") and owns 100% of a U.S. company, XTL Biopharmaceuticals Inc. ("XTL Inc."), which was incorporated in 1999 under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

After the date of the statement of financial position, the Company acquired approximately 50.79% of the issued and outstanding share capital of InterCure Ltd. ("InterCure") a public company whose shares are traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and which researches, develops, markets and sells home therapeutic devices for non-medicinal and non-invasive treatment of various diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, sleeplessness and mental stress. For additional details regarding this acquisition, see Note 4 below.

 

As of the reporting date, the Company is in the planning and preparation stages for implementing Phase 2 clinical trial of rHuEPO drug designated to treat multiple myeloma cancer patients . As part of these preparations, the Company conducts a research which includes collection of data relating to the level of specific proteins in the blood of a group of patients with multiple myeloma, which will assist in focusing the Phase 2 clinical trial protocol. These collected research data will be integrated in the above Phase 2 clinical trial. The Company expanded this research to additional centers in order to collect data beyond the original research plan and it estimates that the research will conclude towards the end of 2012. With the conclusion of the above research, the Company will start the procedure to apply for an approval to commence Phase 2 clinical trial which the Company estimates is expected to be issued by the end of the first half of 2013.

 

On May 29, 2011, the Company has received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a sub-unit of the Health and Human Services (HHS) an orphan drug designation for its rHuEPO drug for the treatment of multiple myeloma blood cancer for which it owns a patent through 2019.

 

An "orphan drug" is defined as a drug for treating diseases that affect a small number of people. In U.S., an "orphan drug" is defined as a disease affecting fewer than 200,000 people a year. To encourage the development of drugs for these diseases, the different regulatory authorities grant benefits and incentives to developers. The main standard benefit of orphan drugs in the U.S. is receiving seven years marketing exclusivity from the date of marketing approval by the FDA, as far as the FDA gives such approval. Other benefits are local U.S. tax credits for research and development expenses and waiver of FDA filing fees.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)

  

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

 

b.The Company has recurring losses and no revenues from operations at this stage and it is dependent on external financing sources. During the period, the Company raised through a private placement and exercise of tradable and non-tradable warrants from March 2012 to the date of the approval of the financial statements total net proceeds of approximately $ 4.2 million (for additional details, see Notes 4 and 5 below). In the opinion of the Company's management and based on its business plans, the balances of cash and cash equivalents with the balances of short-term deposits will enable the Company to fund its activities through at least into 2014. However, the actual amount of cash the Company will need to fund its operations is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to, the timing, design and execution of the clinical trials of our existing drug candidates, any future projects which may be in-licensed/acquired or any other business development activities. For example, changing circumstances and/or in-licenses/acquisitions of new technologies may cause the Company to consume capital significantly faster than the management's current anticipation and the Company may need to spend more money than currently expected because of, among others, circumstances beyond its control.

The Company will incur additional losses during the year from research and development activities, examination of additional technologies and from current operation which will be reflected in negative cash flows from operating activities. Accordingly, in order to complete the clinical trials to bring a product to market, the Company will be required to raise additional cash in the future through the issuance of securities. However, if the Company is not able to raise additional capital at acceptable terms, the Company may be required to reduce operations or sell or out-license to third parties some or all of our technologies.

 

NOTE 2:- BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

a.The condensed consolidated financial information of the Group as of June 30, 2012 and for the interim periods of six and three months then ended ("interim financial information") has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS 34") and includes the additional disclosure requirements in accordance with Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

  ESOP Valuation May 2012

 

2.1.2.Risk Free Rates

 

As both the exercise price and the share price of the granted options are in NIS terms, the annual risk free rates are the appropriate yield rates of non index-linked Israeli government bonds for the expected term. The risk free rate for the granted options ranges from 3.90% to 4.16%.

 

2.1.3.Volatility

 

Based on the historical prices of XTL's share, the expected volatility was set at 154.09%, the average of the volatility during the expected term period.

 

2.1.4.Expected Term – Exercise Behavior

 

We have implemented SAB110 simplified method in estimating the Options' expected term. The calculated expected term according to this method ranges from 5 to 6.5 years.

 

2.1.5.Share Price

 

The share price is according to the market fair value, which was worth 1.164 NIS at the grant day.

 

2.1.6.Exercise Price

 

The exercise price was set at 0.9 NIS.

Re:Special review report of the separate financial information according to regulation 38d’ of the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) - 1970

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying interim separate financial information set forth in regulation 38d' of the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) - 1970 of XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd (hereafter - the Company), as of June 30, 2012 and for the six and three month periods then ended. The Board of Directors and management are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with Israeli Review Standard No. 1, issued by the Israeli Institute of Certified Public Accountants, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

 

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

APPENDIX A

 

Interim report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting

and disclosure pursuant to the Israeli Regulation 38c(a)

 

 

Management, under the supervision of the board of directors of XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. ("the Company"), is responsible for planning and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure in the Company. The executive officers in charge are:

 

1.Mr. David Grossman, CEO.
2.Mr. Ronen Twito, Deputy CEO and CFO.

 

Internal control over financial reporting and disclosure consists of the Company's existing controls and procedures that have been planned by the CEO and the most senior officer in finance or under their supervision, or by the equivalent acting officers, under the governance of the Company's board of directors, designed to provide reasonable assurance about the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in compliance with applicable laws, and guarantee that all information that the Company is required to disclose in the financial statements issued by law is collected, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and according to the format prescribed by law.

 

Among other things, internal control includes controls and procedures planned to guarantee that all information that the Company is required to disclose as above is gathered and transferred to the Company's management, including the CEO and the most senior officer in finance, or the equivalent acting officers, in order to allow decision making on a timely basis with respect to the disclosure requirement.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure is not designed to provide absolute assurance that misstatements or omissions of information in the financial statements will be prevented or detected.

 

In the quarterly report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure which is attached to the quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2012 ("the last quarterly report on internal control"), internal control was concluded to be effective.

 

Through the date of this report, no events or circumstances have been brought to the knowledge of the board of directors and management that are liable to change the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control, as found in the last quarterly report on internal control.

 

As of the date of this report, based on the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control in the last quarterly report on internal control, and based on information brought to the knowledge of management and the board of directors, as above, internal control is effective.

 

It is indicated that on July 25, 2012 and after the date of the statement of financial position, the Company completed an acquisition of 50.79% of the shares of InterCure Ltd. ("InterCure") following which the Company obtained control over InterCure for the first time. InterCure is not part of the scope of this report.
