1.1.6. Factors affecting the results of operations and capital resources

As a holding company, Elron's operating results mainly derive from:

its share in the net losses of Group Companies;

gains or losses from exit transactions or changes in holdings, and revaluation of investments recorded based on fair value;

its corporate activities.

Elron's capital resources in any given period are primarily affected by:

the extent of its investments;

proceeds from exit transactions;

available credit lines or loans;

dividends distributed to shareholders or received from Group Companies.

Most of the Group Companies are technology companies which have not yet generated significant revenues, if at all, and which invest considerable resources in development and record losses. As a result, Elron has recorded and is expected to continue to record losses in respect of their ongoing operations, based on the accounting method applied to them in the Financial Statements.

The technology field in which the Group Companies operate are characterized by a high degree of risk. The Group Companies' success is dependent, among other things, upon: their intellectual property and ability to protect it; their ability to raise financing; their ability to successfully complete their products' development and receive regulatory clearance to market them, including through clinical trials; their ability to make the transition from development to manufacturing stages; their ability to market their products on a significant commercial scale; their ability to develop additional products; and their ability to successfully compete in the markets in which they operate.

Elron's ability to effect exit transactions at significant values is affected, among other things, by economic conditions, market conditions in the hi-tech, the status of the venture capital industry, the status of the capital markets, various contractual and regulatory restrictions, and is also dependent on management's ability to successfully lead exit transactions, and the circumstances and characteristics of the group company whose sale is being considered .

I)	Losses in respect of Group Companies

Elron's share in the net losses of Group Companies:

As previously mentioned, most of our group companies are technology companies which have not yet generated significant revenues, if at all, and which invest considerable resources in research and development and in marketing activities. According to accounting principles, these companies' investments in the development of their products are recorded as they occur in their statement of income as an increase in R&D expenses (insofar as these expenses are not capitalized as intangibles assets as is permitted, according to accounting principles, only when technological feasibility has been established). Therefore, as our group companies increase their investments in order to develop their products and advance their business, they cause us to record greater losses in respect of our share in their losses.

Explanation

Equity in losses of associates, net	4,577		3,006		13,443		Elron's share in the net losses of its associates results from its holdings in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method. As most of the Group Companies are companies whose operations have not yet generated significant revenues, if at all, and invest considerable resources in research and development and in marketing activities, Elron expects to continue to record losses in respect of these companies' ongoing operations in accordance with the accounting method applied to them in Elron's financial statements. In addition, see the analysis of the results of operations of main associate below. The increase in the first quarter of 2017 as compared with the first quarter of 2016 resulted mainly from the losses recorded in 2017 in respect of new companies in which Elron and RDC initially invested during 2016.

AUDITORS REVIEW REPORT

To the Shareholders of

ELRON ELECTRONIC INDUSRTIES LTD.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated financial information of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, which comprises the interim consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2017 and the related interim consolidated statements of income or loss, comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months then ended. The Company's board of directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of interim financial information for these periods in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

We did not review the condensed interim financial information of associates, the investments in which, at the equity method, amounted to approximately $ 4,617 thousand as of March 31, 2017, and the Company's share in their losses amounted to approximately $ 1,095 thousand for the three months then ended. The condensed interim financial information of those associates was reviewed by other auditor, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the financial information in respect of those companies, is based on the review reports of the other auditor.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard 1 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, "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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 and the review reports of other auditor, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Control over Financial Reporting and

Disclosure pursuant to Regulation 38C:

As of March 31, 2017

Attached herein is a quarterly report regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure, pursuant to Regulation 38C of the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970:

Quarterly report regarding the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure, pursuant to Regulation 38C(a):

Management, under the supervision of the board of directors of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (the " Corporation "), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over the financial reporting and disclosure in the Corporation.

In this regard, the members of management are:

1.	Mr. Ari Bronshtein, CEO;

2.	Mr. Yaron Elad, CFO.

The Corporation's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Corporation's principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and under the board of directors' supervision, that is meant to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the law, and to ensure that the information that the Corporation is required to disclose in its reports according to the provisions of the law is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, in the format prescribed by law.

The internal control includes, inter alia, controls and procedures which were designed to ensure that information which the Corporation is required to disclose as aforesaid, is recorded and made available to the Corporation's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as necessary to permit the timely adoption of resolutions pertaining to disclosure requirements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure is not intended to provide absolute assurance regarding prevention or detection of misstatements or omissions.

In the annual report on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure which was attached to the periodic report for the period ended December 31, 2016 (the " Last Annual Report Regarding the Internal Control "), the board of directors and management assessed the Corporation's internal control. Based on this assessment, the Corporation's board of directors and management deemed the internal control as of December 31, 2016 effective.

Up until the date of this report, no event or matter was brought to the attention of management or the board of directors which would change the assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control, as set forth in the Last Annual Report Regarding the Internal Control.

As of the date of this report, based on the assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control in the Last Annual Report Regarding the Internal Control, and based on information which was brought to the attention of management and the board of directors as aforesaid, the internal control is effective.

All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure, which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Corporation's ability to record, process, summarize or report financial information in a manner which may cast doubt on the reliability of the financial reporting and preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the law; and –

(b)

Any fraud, whether or not material, which involves the principal executive officer, a direct subordinate of the principal executive officer, or other employees who have a significant role in the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure .

(5)

(a)

Designed such controls and procedures, or caused such controls and procedures to be designed and maintained under my supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the Corporation, including its consolidated subsidiaries as defined in the Israel Securities Law (Annual Financial Statements), 5770-2010, is made known to me by others within the Corporation and the consolidated subsidiaries, particularly during the period in which the Reports are being prepared; and –

Designed such controls and procedures, or caused such controls and procedures to be designed and maintained under my supervision, to reasonably ensure the reliability of the financial reporting and preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the law, including in accordance with GAAP;
