NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:- GENERAL
| a. | Compugen Ltd. (The "Company") is a therapeutic discovery and development company utilizing its broadly applicable predictive discovery infrastructure to identify novel drug targets and develop first-in-class therapeutics in the field of cancer immunotherapy. The Company's therapeutic pipeline consists of immuno-oncology programs against novel drug targets it has discovered, including T cell immune checkpoints and myeloid target programs. The Company's business model is to selectively enter into collaborations for its novel targets and related drug product candidates at various stages of research and development. The Company is headquartered in Israel, with R&D facilities located in both Israel and South San Francisco, California. At the U.S. facilities, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are discovered and developed against the Company's novel target candidates. |
| b. | On August 5, 2013, the Company entered into a Research and Development Collaboration and License Agreement ("Bayer Agreement") with Bayer Pharma AG ("Bayer") for the research, development, and commercialization of antibody-based therapeutics for antibody-based therapeutics against two novel Compugen-discovered immune checkpoint regulators. |
Under the terms of the Bayer Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $ 10,000, and is eligible to receive an aggregate of over $ 500,000 in potential milestone payments for both programs, not including aggregate preclinical milestone payments of up to $ 30,000 during the research programs. Additionally, the Company is eligible to receive mid to high single digit royalties on global net sales of any approved products under the collaboration.
Under the Bayer Agreement, the Company and Bayer will jointly pursue a preclinical research program with respect to each of the two immune checkpoint regulators. A joint steering committee consisting of an equal number of representatives from each party is responsible for overseeing and directing each such research program pursuant to agree upon work-plans. Each party is responsible for the costs and expenses incurred by it in performing its designated activities under the work-plans during the research programs. Following each such research program, Bayer will have full control over further clinical development of any cancer therapeutic product candidates targeting the Company-discovered immune checkpoint regulators and will have worldwide commercialization rights for any approved products.

NOTE 2:- | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
a. | The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2016, are applied consistently in these financial statements. |
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016.
b. Concentration of credit risks:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and Compugen USA, Inc. to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term bank deposits and foreign currency derivative contracts.
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term bank deposits are invested in major banks in Israel and in the United States ("U.S."). Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk.
The Company enters into forward contracts to hedge against the risk of overall changes in future cash flow from payments of payroll and related expenses as well as other expenses denominated in NIS. The derivative instruments hedge a portion of the Company's non-dollar currency exposure. Counterparty to the Company’s derivative instruments is major financial institution.
| c. | Stock-based compensation: |
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The update simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards and classification in the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculation. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years, for public entities.
The Company has adopted ASU 2016-09 in the current interim consolidated financial statements using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. As a result of this adoption, the Company recorded an increase to accumulated deficit of $ 211 resulting from the election of accounting policy to account for forfeitures as they occurred as of January 1, 2017.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). Subsequently, the FASB also issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which adjusted the effective date of ASU 2014-09; ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in ASU 2014

NOTE 2:- | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
| d. | Revenue recognition (cont.): |
09; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies identifying performance obligation and licensing implementation guidance and illustrations in ASU 2014-09; and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which addresses implementation issues and is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue standard in ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “Revenue ASUs”).
The Revenue ASUs provide an accounting standard for a single comprehensive model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (the full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method)
The Company currently anticipate adoption of the new standard effective January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of the Revenue ASUs on its financial statements; However, the adoption of the Revenue ASUs is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s notes to consolidated financial statements and its internal controls over financial reporting.
| e. | New Accounting Pronouncements and Other Standards: |
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions, or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (early adoption is permitted). The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3:- | UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

NOTE 4:- | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS |
The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging based on ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
The Company enters into forward contracts to hedge against the risk of overall changes in future cash flow from payments of payroll and related expenses as well as other expenses denominated in NIS. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding forward contracts in the notional amount of $ 3,390 and $ 6,548 respectively. These contracts hedge NIS denominated cash flows, for a period of six months and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company measured the fair value of the contracts in accordance with ASC 820 (classified as level 2).
These contracts met the requirement for cash flow hedge accounting and as such for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company recorded total realized gains of $ 158 and $ 24, respectively, under operating expenses.
As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, an unrealized gain in the amount of $ 477 and $ 7, respectively, related to outstanding forward contracts at such dates were recognized under other comprehensive loss. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding forward contracts at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 amounted to unrealized gain of $ 326 and $ 7, respectively.
NOTE 5:- | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
In accordance with ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," the Company measures its investment in foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value. Foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

NOTE 6:- | INVESTMENT IN AFFILAITES |
On December 17, 2014 ("Loan Grant Date"), the Company, Merck Holdings Netherlands B.V. and Neviah Genomics Ltd. ("Neviah"), a start-up company established jointly by the Company, Merck KGaA and Merck Holdings Netherlands B.V., entered into Convertible Bridge Loan ("Loan") Agreement ("Loan Agreement") in the amount of € 500,000 ("Loan Amount") to finance Neviah's operations. Under the Loan agreement, the Company provided $ 155, reflecting its respective portion of the Loan Amount. The Loan was granted for a period of 18 months from the Loan Grant Date ("Loan Term") and bears interest at an annual rate of 2%.
In accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Company exercised its right to convert its respective portion of the outstanding Loan Amount into Preferred A Shares of Neviah (at a conversion rate of one Preferred A share per Euro).
On April 2, 2017, Neviah issued to the Company 131,440 Preferred A Shares. Following the conversion, the Company's equity ownership of Neviah was 25.12%.
The Company accounts for its investment in Neviah under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323, "Investments-Equity Method". Since Neviah is in accumulated loss position until June 30, 2017 and because the Company has no commitment to fund Neviah's operations, no investment account was recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017, or December 31, 2016.
