REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ENLIVEX THERAPEUTICS LTD.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities and its ability to continue to operate as a going concern is dependent upon additional financial support. These conditions and others raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
| a. | General |
| | Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. (the" Company”), headquartered in Jerusalem Israel, was incorporated under the laws of Israel and commenced operations on September 25, 2005. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in the development of an autologous and allogeneic drug pipeline for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions which involve over-expression or hyper-expression of cytokines (Cytokine Release Syndrome) such as CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor) cancer treatment procedures, Graft-versus-Host disease (GvHD) resulting from bone-marrow transplantations, solid organ transplantations and an assembly of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, such as Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, multiple sclerosis, and other disorders. The development is based on the discoveries of Professor Dror Mevorach, an expert on clearance of dying (apoptotic) cells, in his laboratory in the Hadassah University Hospital ("Hadassah"). |
| b. | Financial resources |
| | The Company devotes substantially all of its efforts toward research and development activities. In the course of such activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated any revenues or product sales and has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flow from operations. The Company’s accumulated deficit aggregated $12,047 through December 31, 2017. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. The Company's management plans to finance its operations with issuances of the Company's equity securities and, in the longer term, revenues. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development. The Company's ability to continue to operate in the long term is dependent upon additional financial support. The Company believes that its current cash sources will enable the continuance of the Company’s activities for at least a year with no need for additional fundraising. |
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, and for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2017, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The significant accounting policies described below have been applied on a consistent basis for all years presented.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, subject to adjustment of financial assets and liabilities to their fair value through profit or loss.
The Company classifies its expenses on the statement of comprehensive loss based on the operating characteristics of such expenses.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires that management exercise its judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ materially from estimates and assumptions used by the Company’s management.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| c. | Functional currency and translation to the reporting currency |
The functional currency of the Company is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”), which is the local currency in which the entity operates.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
| c. | Functional currency and translation to the reporting currency (cont.) |
The financial statements of the Company were translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". Accordingly, assets and liabilities were translated from local currencies to U.S. dollars using yearend exchange rates, equity items were translated at the exchange rates of the date of the equity transaction, and income and expense items were translated at average exchange rates during the year.
Gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments (which result from translating an entity’s financial statements into U.S. dollars if its functional currency is different than the U.S. dollar) are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and are reflected in equity, under “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”.
Balances denominated in, or linked to foreign currency are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. For foreign currency transactions included in the statement of income, the exchange rates applicable on the relevant transaction dates are used. Transaction gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such balances are carried to financing income or expenses as applicable.
The following table presents data regarding the dollar exchange rate and the Israeli CPI:

(*) CPI basis of 2012 = 100 points. | | | | | | | | |
| d. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition.
| e. | Restricted cash: Restricted cash held in interest bearing saving accounts which are used as a security for the Company's facility leasehold bank guarantee. |
| f. | Non-current prepaid expenses: Non-current prepaid expenses consist of non-current lease deposits as security for the Company's motor vehicles leases. |
| g. | Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The annual depreciation rates are as follows: |

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
| h. | Impairment of non-financial assets |
| | The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment", 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 with 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. During the years 2016, and 2017, no impairment losses have been identified. |
| i. | Stock-based compensation |
| | 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 ("OPM"). The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes Merton OPM. The OPM requires a number of assumptions. There is no active external or internal market for the Company's common shares. Thus, it was not possible to estimate the expected volatility of the Company's share price in estimating fair value of options granted. Accordingly, as a substitute for such volatility, the Company used the historical volatility of comparable companies in the industry. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, the company uses management's estimates for the expected term of options due to insufficient readily available historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield rates of U.S. Government Treasury Bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends. The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted to employees and directors: |
| | Year ended December 31, 2016 | | | Year ended December 31, 2017 | |
| | | | | | |
Weighted Average Risk free interest rate | | | 1.32 | % | | | 2.22 | % |
Dividend yield | | | - | | | | - | |
Weighted Average Volatility factor | | | 71.94 | % | | | 73.85 | % |
Weighted Average Expected life of the options | | | 6 | | | | 6 | |
| j. | Employees benefits |
| | Post-employment benefits |
| | The majority of the Company's employees in Israel are signed on Section 14 of Israel's Severance Pay Law, 5723-1963 (“Section 14”). Pursuant to Section 14, the employees are entitled only to an amount of severance pay equal to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made on their behalf by the Company. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance liabilities in respect of those employees, consequently a severance pay liability is not recorded on the Company's balance sheet. |
| | With respect to employees that are not covered by section 14 or those who are covered from May 2014 onwards and not since commencement of their employment, the Company records a liability net of the plan assets for the period not covered by Section 14. |
| | Short term employee benefits |
| | Labor laws in Israel entitle every employee to vacation days, paid sick leave and recreation pay, computed annually. The Company recognizes a liability and an expense in respect of vacation and recreation pay based on the individual entitlement of each employee. |

| k. | Research and development expenses |
| | Research and development expenses are charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has not yet capitalized development expenses. |
| l. | Patents |
| | The Company expenses all costs associated with patents for product candidates under development as incurred. As a result of the Company’s research and development efforts, the Company is applying for a number of patents to protect proprietary technology and inventions. To date, the Company has not capitalized patent costs. The Company has recorded a charge to operations of approximately $87 and $219 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, related to its patents costs. |
| m. | Income taxes |
| | The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10 "Accounting for Income Taxes". This Statement requires the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax asset 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. As the Company is currently engaged primarily in development activities and is not expected to generate taxable income in the foreseeable future, the Company provides a valuation allowance, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. 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. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740-10. |
| n. | Loss per share |
| | Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." All outstanding preferred stock, options and warrants for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2016 and 2017 the total weighted average number of shares related to outstanding potential shares excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share were 76,584,576 and 101,763,319, respectively. The following data show the amounts used in computing income (loss) per share and the effect on income (loss): |

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
| o. | Concentrations of credit risk: |
| | Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. |
| | Cash and cash equivalents are invested in major banks in Israel. Such deposits in Israel are not insured. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments. |
| | The Company has no foreign exchange contracts or any other hedging arrangements. |
| | |
| p. | Fair value of financial instruments |
| | The Company applies ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), pursuant to which fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. |
| | ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. |
| | The financial instruments presented on the balance sheet at fair value are grouped into classes with similar characteristics using the following fair value hierarchy which is determined based on the source of input used in measuring fair value: |
| | Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| | Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. |
| | Level 3 - inputs that are not based on observable market data (valuation techniques which use inputs that are not based on observable market data). The Company's warrants exercisable into shares liability are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, and measured at fair value on a recurring basis. |
| q. | Comprehensive income (loss) |
| | Comprehensive loss is the change in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances other than those resulting from investments by stockholders and distributions to stockholders. The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income". This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) is currently comprised of gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments which result from translating the Company's financial statements into U.S. dollars when its functional currency is different than the U.S. dollar. |
| r. | New standards and interpretations |
| | In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09,Compensation (Topic 718), which provides clarity and reduces both the diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this update provide guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-09 and the adoption of the amendment did not have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. |
| | In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the goodwill impairment test by eliminating Step 2 from the test among other technical changes intended to streamline the impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2017-04 for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and may early adopt as early as its first annual or interim impairment testing date following January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. |

| r. | New standards and interpretations (cont.) |
| | In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 clarifies whether eight specifically identified cash flow issues should be categorized as operating, investing or financing activities in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on its financial statements, but expect the impact to be immaterial. |
| | In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses on financial assets held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The new standard replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to estimate all expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements. |
| | In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard: (a) clarifies the definition of a lease; (b) requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications; and, (c) causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease-term of more than twelve months. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires modified retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements, but expect the impact to be immaterial. |
| | In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”) that requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance must be applied on a prospective basis. The guidance has not had an impact on the Company's financial statements. |
| | In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and has subsequently issued several supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs, which comprise the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will replace all current GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a reporting entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will not have a material effect on its financial statements. |

NOTE 9 – EQUITY (cont.)
| | The Company issued additional warrants in settlement of issuance costs to purchase 995,685 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $0.3013 per warrant, subject to certain adjustments, for a period of 7 years. These warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis. The fair value of these warrants issued at grant date was $37 and was considered as additional issuance costs. In accordance with ASC 815: “Derivatives and Hedging”, one of the characteristics of a derivative is that its terms require or permit net settlement. Accordingly all warrants were classified as a non-current liability measured at fair value.
The Company first allocated the proceeds of the issuance to the warrants; the remaining proceeds were allocated to the shares and were recorded to equity. The total issuance costs in relation to the financing round in the amount of $538 were allocated between the warrants and the shares in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds. The portions of the issuance costs in the amount of $19 that were allocated to the warrants and recorded as financial expense in the Company's statement of comprehensive loss. The portions of the issuance costs that were allocated to the Preferred Stock of $519, were recorded to the additional paid in capital in the Company's balance sheet. |

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
As of December 31, 2017 the Company has provided full valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets. 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 carry-forward and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.
Components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows:
