Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

• Total revenues for the third quarter of 2017 were $143,000 (NIS 506,000), compared to $150,000 (NIS 523,000) in the second quarter of 2017 and zero in the third quarter of 2016.

The decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017 resulted primarily from a decrease in professional services expenses. The decrease in NIS compared to the third quarter of 2016 resulted primarily from a decrease in directors fees and other general and administrative expenses. The expenses in the third quarter of 2017 in USD increased compared to the expenses in the third quarter of 2016 in USD due to changes in the exchange rate of the dollar compared to the NIS.
• Net loss for the third quarter of 2017 was $4,152,000 (NIS 14,650,000), or $0.06 (NIS 0.22) per ordinary share, compared to $5,000,000 (NIS 17,481,000), or $0.1 (NIS 0.33) per ordinary share, in the second quarter of 2017 and $1,727,000 (NIS 6,491,000), or $0.05 (NIS 0.17) per ordinary share, in the third quarter of 2016.
