For Immediate Release

Trendlines’ total portfolio value increases to US$86.9 million

• Total income of US$1.1 million for 1Q2016, lower than 1Q2015 primarily due to

change in fair value of investments in Portfolio Companies

• Income from contracted R&D services increased to US$0.3 million from US$0.1

million supported by new collaboration agreements in relation to R&D services

provided by Trendlines Labs

• Net loss of US$0.8 million for 1Q2016

• Multiple achievements in establishing strategic partnerships with renowned

multinational companies year to date, to enhance deal flow and future growth

Singapore, 10 May 2016 – The Trendlines Group Ltd. (the “Company”, and together with its

subsidiaries and associated companies, the “Group”), an Israeli company focused on developing

technology-based companies in the medical and agricultural fields, announced its financial results for

the three months ended 31 March 2016 (“1Q2016”) today.

1Q2016 1Q2015 Change

US$'000 US$'000 %

Gain(loss) from change in fair value of

investments in Portfolio Companies (992) 1,202 N.M.

Income from services to portfolio companies 1,281 1,231 4.0

Income from contracted R&D services 330 102 223.2

Total income 1,140 3,160 (63.9)

Total expenses 2,633 2,218 18.7

Net income (loss) and total comprehensive

income (loss) (770) 580 N.M.

*N.M.: Not meaningful

Total income for the Group was US$1.1 million in 1Q2016, compared to US$3.2 million in 1Q2015. The

reduction in total income is primarily attributable to a net loss in the fair value of investments in

portfolio companies of US$1 million, compared to a net gain in 1Q2015 amounting to US$1.2 million.

This net loss in the fair value of portfolio companies in 1Q2016 takes into account an increase of

US$3.9 million in the fair value of the Most Valuable Portfolio Company1, as well as an aggregate fair

value gain of US$0.6 million for some other portfolio companies as a result of the completion of fund

raising exercises at favourable valuations and general commercial and technological progress during

the quarter. However, this gain was offset by an aggregate fair value loss of US$4.8 million, as a result

of the completion of fund raising exercises for some other portfolio companies at less favourable

terms to the Company, as well as general commercial or technological difficulties in some companies

and the write off of two portfolio companies during the quarter in the amount of US$1.0 million.

Income from services to portfolio companies remained relatively unchanged in 1Q2016 as compared

to 1Q2015. Income from contracted R&D services increased to US$0.3 million from US$0.1 million due

to new collaboration agreement in relation to R&D services provided by Trendlines Labs to a third

party.

Our loss before taxes was US$1.5 million for the quarter compared to a gain of approximately US$0.9

million in first quarter of 2015.

Income tax for the quarter was a tax benefit of approximately US$0.7, due to the effect of reduction in

the deferred taxes which was caused mainly by the reduction in tax rate from 26.5% to 25%. This

resulted in a net loss for the quarter of US$0.8 million, compared to a profit of US$0.5 million in

1Q2015.

The Group maintained a strong financial position. As at 31 March 2016, the Group had cash and cash

equivalents of US$8.2 million, compared to US$7.0 million as at 31 December 2015. Current assets as

at 31 March 2016 were $21.5 million, as compared to US$24.0 million at the end of 2015. The

reduction in current assets reflects investments in our portfolio companies and current operations

during the first quarter which reduced short term investments to US$12.0 million, from US$16.4

million on 31 December 2015.

The fair value of all the portfolio companies (“portfolio value”), including the fair value of a company

carried at equity value, as at 31 March 2016 was approximately US$86.9 million, compared to US$85.8

million as at 31 December 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of US$3.9

million in the fair value of the Most Valuable Portfolio Company.

Commenting on the 1Q2016 financial results, Mr. D. Todd Dollinger, Co-Chairman and CEO of the

Group, said, “The nature of our business has two distinct characteristics in our financials as compared

to that of any traditional business. Firstly, the fair value of our portfolio companies changes according

to the progress in their fund raising and technological and commercial development, and the varying

rates of progress at different companies could lead to variations in fair value on a portfolio level from

quarter to quarter. Secondly, as significant monetary gain is generated chiefly by exits from our

portfolio companies, the financial performance and earnings can be volatile.

“Trendlines’ value to portfolio companies lies in providing support ranging from technological

development and business development to marketing and fund raising. Our goal is to assist portfolio

companies to achieve a relatively smooth growth path to commercialization, and to eventually exit

from these investments with optimal returns. We are working hard to achieve this goal, and we will

update the market as exit projects materialize.”

Mr. Steve Rhodes, Co-Chairman and CEO of the Group, added, “Despite the quarterly numbers, we

made a promising start for 2016. We entered into a definitive collaboration agreement with B. Braun

on establishing mutual deal flow and the development of new technologies; Bayer AG committed

US$10 million in the Bayer Trendlines Agtech Innovation Fund which will focus on making early-stage

agritech investments and will be managed by Trendlines. Separately, Trendlines Labs entered into a

collaboration agreement with a major MNC headquartered in Japan to develop innovative medical

device products for manufacturing and marketing by the Japanese MNC. Trendlines Labs also

received an additional order from a large U.S. medical device company, following its successful

collaboration with the company earlier.

“These partnerships are an endorsement of Trendlines’ business model and our R&D capabilities.

Collaboration with these industry leaders in their respective fields will raise Trendlines’ visibility in the

medical and agricultural technologies space, provide us with a larger platform to improve human

condition, stimulate our growth, and enhance the potential for us to generate long-term value to our

shareholders.”
