# PART I

Unless the context otherwise
requires, Tikcro, us, we and our refer to
Tikcro Technologies Ltd., an Israeli company, and its subsidiaries.

All share and per share information
in this Annual Report has been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a one-for-three
reverse split of our ordinary shares that became effective on September 19, 2006.

Statements in this Annual Report
concerning our business outlook or future economic performance; anticipated revenues,
expenses or other financial items; and statements concerning assumptions made or
expectations as to any future events, conditions, performance or other matters, are
forward-looking statements as that term is defined under the United States
Federal Securities Laws. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by our
use of words such as expect, anticipate, believe,
intend, plan, seek and estimate and
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and
other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in
such statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but
are not limited to, those set forth under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this
Annual Report as well as our reports on Form 6-K submitted to the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

# A. Selected Financial
Data

We have derived the following
selected financial data, with respect to the five years from 2004 to 2008, from the
financial statements of Tikcro, which have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. You should read the selected
consolidated financial data together with Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects and our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere or
incorporated by reference in this Annual Report.

From April 2003, when we sold
substantially all of our assets and liabilities (other than financial indebtedness) to
STMicroelectronics, through 2007, we had no significant operations. Accordingly, the data
presented below are not indicative of our future operating results or financial position.
In July 2008, we acquired a minority stake in BioCancell Therapeutics, Inc., an
Israel-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. Please see Item 4.A
Information on the Company  History and Development of the CompanyRecent
Developments for more information.

# D. Risk Factors

We believe that the occurrence of
any one or some combination of the following factors could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks relating to our
business

# We currently conduct no
significant business activities, and our results of operations are dependent on the
valuation of BioCancell and our ability to sell BioCancell securities at a profit.

In July 2008, we acquired a minority
stake in BioCancell Therapeutics, Inc., an Israel-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company. Other than our involvement in the board of directors of BioCancell, we do not
currently conduct any significant operations. Accordingly, our results of operations are
principally impacted by the value of our holdings in BioCancell. If there are adverse
changes in the market price or fair value of BioCancell, our results of operations and/or
the value of our assets will be adversely affected, and we may need to write-down or
write-off the carrying value of our holding. Due to limitations under U.S. and Israeli
securities laws and material non-public information to which we may be exposed because of
our representation on the board of directors of BioCancell, we may face difficulties in
our ability to dispose of our securities in BioCancell at a time and in a manner we deem
suitable.

Conditions and changes in the
national and global economic and political environments may adversely affect our business
and financial results.

Current global financial conditions
have been characterized by increased volatility and several financial institutions have
either gone into bankruptcy or have had to be rescued by governmental authorities. With
major financial institutions de-levering their balance sheets, credit was constricted for
much of 2008 and may likely remain so for an extended period. Partly as a result, entire
industries are facing extreme contraction and even the prospect of collapse. If economic
growth continues to decline, this may have a negative impact on our financial condition
and share price, which may impact our and BioCancells ability to obtain financing
and other sources of funding in the future on terms favorable to us, if at all. If such
increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, it may materially adversely
affect our results of operations.

The growth of our business depends
on our obtaining additional financing, which may be unavailable to us.

In order to acquire stakes in either
BioCancell or in additional operating companies, we will need to raise additional funds
through public or private debt or equity financings. We provided $2.5 million to
BioCancell in July 2008 and, if BioCancells development proceeds as planned and
subject to market terms, we will likely offer to provide it with additional funds in 2009.
We also hold a five-year warrant to purchase shares of BioCancell, for an aggregate
exercise price of approximately $3.0 million. If we do not raise additional funds, we may
not be able to provide BioCancell with the support it requires and we may not be able to
acquire stakes in additional operating companies. We may be unable to obtain additional
financing on acceptable terms or at all, which would harm our financial condition and
results of operations.

We may not consummate transactions
with additional operating companies.

There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in
consummating transactions with additional operating companies. We may enter into a
transaction with a business entity having no significant operating history, losses,
limited or no potential for immediate earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or
other negative characteristics. In the event that we complete a transaction with one or
more operating companies, the success of our operations will be dependent upon the
management of such target company or companies and numerous other factors. There is no
assurance that we will be able to negotiate additional transactions on terms favorable to
us, or at all.

We may be deemed an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Following the sale of our business to
STMicroelectronics in April 2003 and the investment of the cash proceeds of the sale, we
may be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
unless we qualify for an exemption. The likelihood of being deemed to be an investment
company increases over time if we do not enter into a business combination or develop an
operating business. Even if we acquire minority stakes in one or more operating companies,
we may be deemed an investment company if we do not have sufficient control over such
companies or qualify for another exemption under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If we
are deemed an investment company, we could be found to be in violation of the Investment
Company Act of 1940. A violation of that law could make it more difficult for us to
register securities and raise funding and subject us to other material adverse
consequences.

Our shareholders may be subject to
dilution of the value of our shares if we conduct a business combination or other type of
acquisition.

A business combination or the
acquisition of stakes in operating companies, which are among the business alternatives
considered by us, may involve the issuance of a significant number of additional shares.
Depending upon the value of the assets acquired in such transaction, the per share value
of our ordinary shares may significantly increase or decrease.

# We may face tax
liabilities relating to our asset sales.

We have generated income from
the sale of the ASIC business of Silicon Value in 2001 and our various agreements with
STMicroelectronics in 2002 to 2003. Based on our assessment and that of our tax advisors,
we believe that we have fully satisfied all tax due in relation with these transactions.
The tax authorities may not agree with our view. Any such disagreement and subsequent tax
dispute could result in tax liabilities in amounts which we currently can not estimate.

# We might lose money from
the investment of our cash.

We invest the majority of our cash on
hand in a variety of financial instruments. If the obligor of any of the instruments we
hold defaults or undergoes a reorganization in bankruptcy, we may lose all or a
portion of our investment.  This would harm our financial condition.  For
information on the types of our investments as of December 31, 2008, see Item 11
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk  Interest Rate Risk Management.

We are subject to costs and risks
associated with complying with extensive corporate governance and disclosure requirements.

As a foreign private issuer subject
to U.S. federal securities laws, we are required to comply with laws, regulations and
standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and various SEC regulations. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act requires managements annual review and evaluation of our internal control over
financial reporting and attestations of the effectiveness of these controls by our
management and, commencing from fiscal year 2009, by our independent registered public
accounting firm. There is no guarantee that these efforts will result in management
assurance or an attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm that our
internal control over financial reporting is adequate in future periods. If we complete a
business combination, we will likely need to invest additional time and resources in
connection with our compliance with Section 404 and the other applicable provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to assure that we continue to comply with these requirements. The
additional management attention and costs relating to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act and other corporate governance requirements could materially and adversely affect our
financial results.

Risks relating to our
holdings in BioCancell

We provided $2.5 million of
funding to BioCancell, an Israel-based early stage clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company. Our success is now dependent to a significant degree on the success of
BioCancell.

We have provided $2.5 million of
funding to BioCancell and designated a member of its board of directors, and we may
provide BioCancell with additional funding in the future. BioCancell is developing new
drugs for the treatment of various types of cancer. As of the date of this Annual Report,
BioCancell has not received marketing approval for any of its prospective products and as
a result it has not recorded any sales. It is expected that BioCancell will operate at a
loss over the coming years and will not generate any revenue from operations in the near
term. To be profitable, BioCancell must successfully research, develop, obtain regulatory
approval for, manufacture, introduce, market and distribute its drugs. The path necessary
to achieve these goals for any drug product is long and uncertain. Before BioCancell can
sell any drug, it will be required to demonstrate through clinical trials that it is safe
and effective for human use in the treatment of individuals with cancer. Neither
BioCancell nor its senior management has ever successfully conducted advanced clinical
trials or commercialized a drug product and no assurance can be given that BioCancell will
be able to successfully complete the clinical trials for its drugs in development in
accordance with the standards of the U.S. Federal Drug Administration, or the FDA, and
other non-U.S. regulatory standards, or if it is able, that its drugs will prove to be
safe and will produce the intended effects. If BioCancell does not successfully meet its
scientific, regulatory, financial and commercial challenges, then the value of the
securities we hold of BioCancell may significantly decline and our results of operations
and financial condition may be materially harmed.

BioCancells approach to
discover and develop prospective therapeutic products is new and may never lead to
marketable products.

BioCancell has concentrated its
efforts on developing therapeutic products utilizing target genes, such as the H19 and
IGF2 genes, which is a new field of drug research and development. The scientific
discoveries that form the basis for BioCancells efforts to develop drugs utilizing
the target genes are relatively new. The scientific evidence to support the feasibility of
developing such drugs based on these discoveries is both preliminary and limited. Further,
BioCancells focus solely on developing therapeutic products utilizing target genes
as opposed to more proven technologies for the development of therapeutic products
increases the risks associated with the ownership of its securities. If BioCancell is
unsuccessful in developing drugs utilizing the target genes, our investment in BioCancell
may significantly decline and our results of operations and financial condition may be
materially harmed.

BioCancell will require additional
funding, which may further draw on our resources or result in significant dilution of our
ownership.

BioCancell will require substantial
funding to discover, develop, protect and conduct research and development for its target
genes-based prospective therapies, including primarily for clinical trials of any of our
prospective therapeutic products, and to manufacture and market any such product that may
be approved for commercial sale and may not be able to raise such funds without our
participation. The current economic and credit crisis is having a significant negative
impact on business around the world. The impact of this crisis may cause difficulties in
raising the funds needed for BioCancell to continue its operations. It is likely that we
will allocate additional funds to support BioCancell in 2009 and 2010, in which case our
cash reserves will decline and the dependence of our results on the results of BioCancell
will increase. If we do not allocate additional funds to BioCancell, our holding in
BioCancell could be diluted, our influence over its business could weaken and the value of
our holding could materially decline.

BioCancells
auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to whether it can continue as a going
concern.

BioCancells audit report
covering the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory
paragraph that states that BioCancells recurring losses from operations raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. BioCancell has
incurred operating losses since inception, has not generated any product sales revenues
and has not achieved profitable operations. BioCancells deficit, accumulated during
the development stage through December 31, 2008, aggregated $10.4 million and it expects
to continue to incur substantial losses in future periods while it continues to test and
prepare its product candidates for the market. Following the closing of the private
placements of BioCancells securities in July 2008, it believes that as of December
31, 2008, it has sufficient cash to meet its planned operating needs for the next six
months. BioCancell will require substantial additional funds to complete its research and
development activities and there can be no assurance that it will be able to raise any or
all of the capital required. If BioCancell is unable to raise additional funds to complete
its research and development activities, our holdings in BioCancell may significantly
decline and our results of operations and financial condition may be materially harmed.

The pharmaceutical and
biotechnology market is highly competitive. If BioCancell is unable to compete  effectively
with existing products, new treatment methods and new technologies, it may be unable to
 commercialize any therapeutic products that it may develop.

The biotechnology market is highly
competitive, is subject to rapid technological change and is significantly affected by
existing rival drugs and medical procedures, new product introductions and the market
activities of other participants. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic
institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations
may pursue the research and development of technologies, or other therapeutic products for
the treatment of some or all of the diseases that BioCancell is targeting or that it
expects to target, including superficial bladder carcinoma, pancreatic and ovarian cancer.
BioCancell also may face competition from products which have already been approved and
accepted by the medical community for the treatment of these same indications. BioCancell
believes a significant number of products are currently under development, and may become
commercially available in the future, for the treatment of some or all of the diseases
that BioCancell is targeting or that it expects to target, including superficial bladder
carcinoma, pancreatic and ovarian cancer.

The competitors of BioCancell may
develop products more rapidly or more effectively than BioCancell. Many of these
competitors have: much greater experience and much greater financial, technical and human
resources than BioCancell at every stage of the discovery, development, manufacture and
commercialization process; more extensive experience in pre-clinical testing, conducting
clinical trials, obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals and in manufacturing and
marketing therapeutic products; products that have been approved or are in late stages of
development; established distribution networks; collaborative arrangements in target
markets with leading companies and research institutions; and entrenched and established
relationships with healthcare providers and payors.

7

---

---

As a result of any of the foregoing
factors, BioCancells competitors may develop or commercialize products with
significant advantages over any therapeutic products that it may develops. If BioCancells
competitors are more successful in commercializing their products than BioCancell, their
success could adversely affect its competitive position and harm its business prospects.

BioCancell has no manufacturing
experience or resources and it must incur significant costs to develop this expertise or
rely on third parties to manufacture its prospective therapeutic products.

BioCancell has no manufacturing
experience. In order to develop products, apply for regulatory approvals and
commercialize its prospective therapeutic products, BioCancell will need to develop,
contract for or otherwise arrange for the necessary manufacturing capabilities.
Manufacturing of BioCancells prospective therapeutic products must comply with the
current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements set forth in the Quality System
Regulation. The manufacturing process for BioCancells prospective therapeutic
products is an element of the FDA approval process, and BioCancell will need to contract
with manufacturers who can satisfy the FDA requirements on an ongoing basis before it
seeks to obtain FDA approval. In addition, if BioCancell receives the necessary
regulatory approval for any of its prospective therapeutic products, it also expects to
rely on third parties, including its collaborators, to manufacture its therapeutic
products in quantities sufficient for commercial marketing. BioCancell may experience
difficulty in obtaining adequate manufacturing capacity for its commercial needs. If
BioCancell is unable to obtain or maintain contract manufacturing for its prospective
therapeutic products, or is unable to do so on commercially reasonable terms, it may not
be able to successfully develop and commercialize its prospective therapeutic products.

BioCancell is exposed to a risk of
substantial loss due to claims that may be filed against it in the future because its
insurance policies may not fully cover the risk of loss associated with its operations.

BioCancell is exposed to the risk of
having claims seeking monetary damages being filed against it for loss or harm suffered by
participants of its clinical studies or for loss or harm suffered by users of any drug
that may receive approval for commercialization in the future. In either event, the FDA or
the regulatory authorities of other countries or regions may commence investigations of
the safety and effectiveness of any such clinical trial or commercialized drug, the
manufacturing processes and facilities or marketing programs utilized in respect of any
such trial or drug, and may result in mandatory or voluntary recalls of any commercialized
drug or other significant enforcement action, such as limiting the indications for which
any such drug may be used, or suspension or withdrawal of approval for any such drug.
Investigations by the FDA or any other regulatory authority in other countries or regions
also could delay or prevent the completion of any of BioCancells other clinical
development programs. In the event that BioCancell is required to pay damages for any such
claim, it may be forced to seek bankruptcy or to liquidate because its asset and revenue
base may be insufficient to satisfy the payment of damages, and any insurance that it has
obtained or may obtain for product or clinical trial liability may not provide sufficient
coverage against its liabilities.

BioCancells exclusive
license to certain patents will expire in 2017, and BioCancell may face increased
competition from third parties who will be able to license the patents that BioCancell has
used in its research and development activities.

Some of the patents underlying the
exclusive license that Yissum Research Development Company of the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, or Yissum, has granted to BioCancell, will expire beginning in 2017, after
which time, any one or more of BioCancells competitors could develop generic
alternatives to BioCancells prospective drugs. Such competitors may have greater
resources and marketing potential than BioCancell, and the commercialization of a generic
alternative would likely drive down the price that BioCancell is able to charge for its
products. This would materially harm BioCancells results of operations. In addition,
unless BioCancell is successful in extending the patent protection on its drugs beyond
2017, the value of BioCancells drugs from FDA approval of its drugs to market
through 2017 may not commercially support the risks involved and expenses required to
conclude FDA-approved clinical trials, thus resulting in an early termination of the
development of its drugs.

BioCancell is required, and may be
required in the future, to license patent rights from third party owners in order to
develop its prospective therapeutic products in the future. If BioCancell cannot obtain
and comply with the terms of such licenses or if such owners do not properly maintain or
enforce the patents underlying such licenses, BioCancells competitive position and
business prospects will be harmed.

BioCancell currently licenses
technologies and other patents in conducting its research and development activities and
it may be required to obtain additional licenses in the future in the event that it
believes it is necessary or useful for its business and its research and development
efforts to use third party intellectual property or if its efforts would infringe upon the
intellectual property rights of third parties.

Additionally, should BioCancell
succeed in obtaining any such license, its business prospects will depend in part on the
ability of its licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce patent protection for its
licensed intellectual property, in particular, those patents for which BioCancell secured
exclusive rights such as the exclusive license granted to BioCancell by Yissum in
connection with its research on the H19 gene. BioCancells licensors may terminate
the license, may not successfully prosecute or may fail to maintain their patent
applications to which BioCancell is licensed, may determine not to pursue litigation
against other persons that are infringing these patents or may pursue such litigation less
aggressively than BioCancell would. Without protection for the intellectual property that
BioCancell has licensed and for which it may obtain licenses in the future, other
companies might be able to offer substantially identical products for sale, which could
adversely affect BioCancells competitive position and harm its business prospects.

If BioCancell is not able to
obtain and enforce patent protection for its inventions, its ability to develop and
commercialize its prospective therapeutic products will be harmed.

BioCancells success depends, to
a considerable extent, on its ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that
it develops under the patent and other intellectual property laws of the United States and
other countries, so that it may prevent others from unlawfully using its inventions and
proprietary information. The patent position of pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies,
including BioCancell, is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual
considerations. The standards that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, and its
foreign counterparts use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly
and may change. There also is no uniform, worldwide policy regarding the subject matter
and scope of claims granted or allowable in pharmaceutical or biotechnology patents. Even
if BioCancells rights are not directly challenged, disputes among third parties
could lead to the weakening or invalidation of its intellectual property rights.
Accordingly, BioCancell does not know the degree of future protection for its proprietary
rights or the breadth of claims that will be allowed with respect to any patents issued to
it or to others. Additionally, the mere issuance of a patent does not guarantee that it is
valid or enforceable against third parties.

9

---

---

A third party may sue BioCancell for
infringing its patent rights. Likewise, BioCancell may need to resort to litigation to
enforce a patent issued or licensed to it or to determine the scope and validity of third
party proprietary rights. In addition, a third party may claim that BioCancell has
improperly obtained or used its confidential or proprietary information. The cost to
BioCancell of any litigation or other proceeding relating to intellectual property rights,
even if resolved in its favor, could be significant, and the litigation would divert its
managements efforts. From a financial perspective, there is a risk that BioCancell
would not be able to sustain the costs of any such litigation and would be forced to seek
bankruptcy or to liquidate because of its limited asset and revenue base.

BioCancell relies a limited number
of third parties for the supply of certain major components for its drugs and other raw
materials required for its research and development activities. If BioCancell is unable to
reach agreements with these third parties or if it is unable to maintain its contractual
relationships with these third parties, BioCancells research and development
activities would be delayed.

BioCancell relies on third parties
for the provision of materials required for its research and development activities.
Obtaining these materials requires various approvals as well as reaching a commercial
agreement on acceptable terms with the provider of the materials. BioCancell may not be
able to reach agreements with a sufficient number of suppliers or do so on terms
acceptable to it. If BioCancell is unable to reach acceptable agreements with a sufficient
number of suppliers of research materials, its research and development activities will be
delayed and its ability to implement its business plan will be compromised.

If BioCancell is unable to retain
Professor Abraham Hochberg, Dr. Patricia Ohana and other qualified key management and
scientists, staff consultants and advisors, its ability to implement its business plan may
be adversely affected.

BioCancells success largely
depends on the skills, experience and efforts of certain of its senior management. The
loss of the service of any of these persons, including Professor Abraham Hochberg its
Co-Founder, Chairman of the Board and Chief Scientific Officer, and Dr. Patricia Ohana,
would likely significantly delay or prevent BioCancells achievement of product
development and its other business objectives. BioCancells employment agreements
with its key personnel, including Professor Abraham Hochberg and Dr. Patricia Ohana,
are terminable by the employee upon the provision of 90 days or three months advance
written notice to BioCancell. BioCancell does not carry key man life insurance on any of
its executive officers or other key employees. Should either of Professor Hochberg or Dr.
Ohana cease his or her employment with BioCancell or should BioCancell otherwise lose his
or her services, its ability to conduct its research and development activities would be
significantly compromised.

Risks relating to our
presence in Israel

Our incorporation in Israel may
limit our ability to find a target for a business combination or other transactions
outside Israel.

We are incorporated and headquartered
in Israel, and BioCancell is headquartered in Israel. A state of hostility, varying in
degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Ongoing
violence between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as tension between Israel, Iran,
Syria and Lebanon, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
conditions and results of operations. We cannot predict the effect on us of the increase
in the degree of terror attacks against Israel, political instability in the region or
military action elsewhere in the Middle East. Furthermore, several countries restrict
doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional companies may restrict
doing business with Israel and Israeli companies as a result of an increase in
hostilities.

It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers and directors or to assert U.S.
securities law claims in Israel.

Service of process upon our directors
and officers named herein may be difficult to effect within the United States because some
of these people reside outside the United States. Any judgment obtained in the United
States against us or these individuals or entities may not be enforceable within the
United States.

It may be difficult to assert U.S.
securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse
to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the
most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if any Israeli court
agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable
to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law
must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain
matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case
law in Israel addressing these matters.

Subject to specified time limitations
and legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in
Israel, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. final judgment in a civil matter, including
judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws and
including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that:

| |  | the
judgment is enforceable in the state in which it was given;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | adequate
 service of process  has been  effected  and the  defendant  has had a
                reasonable opportunity to be heard;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | the
judgment and its  enforcement  are not contrary to the law,  public policy,
                security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11

---

---

| |  | the
judgment  was not  obtained by fraud and does not  conflict  with any other
                valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; and
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | an
action  between  the same  parties in the same  matter is not pending in any
                Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the U.S. court.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a foreign judgment is enforced by
an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in new Israeli shekels, which can then be
converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in
an action to recover an amount in non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to render
judgment for the equivalent amount in new Israeli shekels at the rate of exchange on the
date of payment, but the judgment debtor also may make payment in non-Israeli currency.
Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in new Israeli
shekels ordinarily will be linked to the Israel Consumer Price Index plus interest at the
annual rate (set by Israeli law) prevailing at that time. Judgment creditors bear the risk
of unfavorable exchange rates.

Provisions of Israeli law may
delay, prevent or make more difficult a merger or other business combination, which may
depress out share price.

Provisions of Israeli corporate law
may have the effect of delaying, preventing or making more difficult a merger with, or
acquisition of, us. The Israeli Companies Law generally provides that a merger be approved
by the board of directors and a majority of the shares present and voting on the proposed
merger. For purposes of the shareholder vote, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger
will not be deemed approved if a majority of the shares not held by the other party to the
merger (or by any person who holds 25% or more of the shares or the right to appoint 25%
or more of the directors of the other party or its general manager) have voted against the
merger. Upon the request of any creditor of a party to the proposed merger, a court may
delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there is a reasonable concern that, as a
result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of
the surviving company. Finally, a merger may not be completed unless at least (i) 50 days
have passed since the filing of a merger proposal signed by both parties with the Israeli
Registrar of Companies and (ii) 30 days have passed since the merger was approved by the
shareholders of each merging company.

The Companies Law also provides that
an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as
a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the
company, unless there is already another 25% or greater shareholder of the company.
Similarly, an acquisition of shares must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result
of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 45% or greater shareholder of the company,
unless there is already a 45% or greater shareholder of the company. In any event, if as a
result of an acquisition of shares the acquirer will hold more than 90% of a
companys shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of
the shares.

Finally, Israel tax law treats some
acquisitions, such as stock-for-stock exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign
company, less favorably than U.S. tax laws. For example, Israeli tax law may, under
certain circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges his ordinary shares for shares
in another corporation, to taxation prior to the sale of the shares received in such
stock-for-stock swap.

12

The described restrictions could
prevent or make more difficult an acquisition of Tikcro, which could depress our share
price.

Risks relating to the
market for our ordinary shares

Holders of our ordinary shares who
are U.S. residents face income tax risks.

As a consequence of our ownership of
relatively substantial cash and investment assets, it is likely that we would be
classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having been a passive foreign
investment company, or PFIC, during each of 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. We could also be
classified as a PFIC for 2009, although the determination of PFIC status is made
separately for each year and our PFIC status could change. Classification as a PFIC could
result in a reduction in the after-tax return to U.S. holders of our ordinary shares,
which could, in turn, cause a reduction in the value of our ordinary shares.
Classification as a PFIC also triggers the application of certain United States tax
reporting requirements.

Complex rules apply to a U.S. holder
of our ordinary shares if we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes
for any year during such U.S. holders holding period. Accordingly, U.S. holders are
urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules.

U.S.
          residents should carefully read Item 10.E Taxation  United States
          Federal Income Tax Consequences for a more complete discussion of the U.S.
          federal income tax risks related to owning and disposing of our ordinary shares
          and the consequences of PFIC status.

The trading market for our
ordinary shares has low liquidity, which could make it difficult for our shareholders to
sell their shares at desired prices and amounts.

Our ordinary shares currently are
quoted on the Pink Sheets, a centralized quotation service that collects and publishes
market maker quotes for OTC securities. Currently, we do not meet the initial listing
conditions of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The market for shares quoted on the Pink Sheets is
typically less liquid than that for shares listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. This could
make it more difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares at desired prices and
amounts.

The market price of our ordinary
shares is subject to fluctuations.

The
market value of our ordinary shares has fluctuated over time. The following factors, among
others, may significantly impact the market price of our ordinary shares:

| |  | the
market price of BioCancell;
| | - | -------------------------------

| |  | low
trading volume of our ordinary shares;
| | - | ------------------------------------------

| |  | BioCancell,
its competitors or other third parties announcing new products, regulatory developments,
new clinical data regarding current or future products, or earnings or losses;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | delays
or failures in the development of products of BioCancell;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | political,
economic or other developments affecting Israel;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------

| |  | global
economic and other external factors; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------

| |  | quarter-to-quarter
fluctuations in our financial results.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------

# Two shareholders may be
able to control us.

Eric Paneth, our Chief Executive
Officer and a director, beneficially owns approximately 13.5% of our outstanding ordinary
shares. Izhak Tamir, our Chairman of the Board, beneficially owns approximately 12.4% of
our outstanding ordinary shares. Currently, Messrs. Paneth and Tamir are not party to a
shareholders agreement. However, if Messrs. Paneth and Tamir act together, they
effectively may have the power to control the outcome of all matters submitted for the
vote of our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of
significant change in control transactions. Their combined equity interest in us may have
the effect of making certain transactions more difficult and may result in delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of Tikcro unless approved by one or both of
them.

Our shareholder bonus rights plan
may delay, prevent or make more difficult a hostile acquisition of Tikcro, which could
depress our share price.

In September 2005, we adopted a
shareholder bonus rights plan pursuant to which share purchase bonus rights were
distributed to our shareholders. These rights generally will be exercisable and
transferable apart from our ordinary shares only if a person or group acquires beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of our ordinary shares, or commences a tender or exchange offer
upon consummation of which that person or group would hold such a beneficial interest.
Once these rights become exercisable and transferable, the holders of rights, other than
the person or group triggering their transferability, will be generally entitled to
purchase our ordinary shares at a discount from the market price. The rights will expire
on December 31, 2015. While these rights remain outstanding, they may make an acquisition
of us more difficult and result in delaying or preventing a change in control of Tikcro.

# Recent Developments

In June 2008 we signed an agreement
to provide BioCancell Therapeutics, Inc., an Israel-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company described below under Item 4.B, with $2.5 million in funding. This transaction was
consummated on July 30, 2008. In exchange for our $2.5 million in funding, BioCancell
issued to us 837,521 shares of common stock at a price of $0.60 per share and a four-year
convertible note bearing interest at 10% per year convertible into up to 3,464,385 shares
of common stock. In addition, we received a five-year warrant to purchase up to 4,301,906
shares of BioCancell common stock, for an aggregate exercise price of approximately $3.0
million. The common stock of BioCancell is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE,
under the symbol BICL. The conversion price of our convertible note and the
exercise price of our warrant is $0.72 per share, which was determined based on the
average closing price of BioCancells common stock on the TASE over the 60-day period
ending two days prior to the closing date plus a premium of approximately 20%. On the
closing date of the transaction, the closing market price of BioCancells common
stock was $0.60 per share, and immediately following the closing BioCancell had 14,398,531
shares outstanding. The common stock of BioCancell issued in private placements like ours
is subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws. Effective June 22,
2009, BioCancell registered for resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission the
837,521 shares of common stock issued to us.

We currently hold approximately 5.4%
of the outstanding capital stock of BioCancell. If we convert the note in full, we will
hold an aggregate of approximately 22.6% of BioCancells outstanding capital stock.
Additionally, if we also exercise the warrant in full, we will hold an aggregate of
approximately 36.9% of BioCancells outstanding capital stock. Such percentages take
into account the issuance of shares by BioCancell upon this conversion and exercise but
not the conversion or exercise of any other securities. Upon such conversion and exercise,
we would hold an aggregate of approximately 27.4% of BioCancells outstanding capital
stock on a fully diluted basis.

In connection with the agreement, we
reached a voting agreement with three existing major shareholders of BioCancell, Clal
Biotechnology Ltd., or CBI, Prof. Abraham Hochberg, BioCancells Co-Founder, Chairman
of the Board and Chief Scientific Officer, and Avi Barak, its Chief Executive Officer.
Currently BioCancell has nine members on its Board of Directors. Subject to certain
conditions, the parties to the agreement, who currently hold approximately 51% of
BioCancells outstanding capital stock in the aggregate, will vote for one member of
the board designated by Tikcro, for one member designated by CBI and for one member
designated by Professor Hochberg. Each party is free to vote for other members of the
Board. We also agreed with BioCancell that as long as the director nominated by us to
BioCancells Board of Directors serves in such capacity, we will provide general
consulting services to BioCancell for an agreed fee. To date, BioCancell has not honored
this consulting agreement. CBI and Provident Fund of the Employees of the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem in Israel, another existing stockholder of BioCancell participated
in the private placement on similar terms with additional funding of approximately $1.2
million in the aggregate.

# Principal Capital
Expenditures

We did not have any capital
expenditures in 2006 and 2007. In 2008 we had a capital expenditure of $2.5 million in
regard of our investment in BioCancell.

# B. Business Overview

# General

In July 2008, we acquired a minority
stake in BioCancell Therapeutics, Inc., an Israel-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company. For information regarding our agreements with BioCancell, see Item 4.A
Information on the Company  History and Development of the CompanyRecent
Developments above.

Our business plan is to enter into
one or more transactions with a wide variety of businesses without limitation as to their
industry or revenues. It is not possible at this time to predict when we will enter into
any such transactions or what will be the industry, operating history, revenues, future
prospects or other characteristics of any such business. Our ability to effect additional
transactions is dependent on the amount of additional funding we provide to BioCancell and
on our ability to raise additional funds to pursue our business plan. See Item 3.D
Risk Factors above.

# BioCancell

BioCancell is a development-stage
biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of
novel therapies for treating cancer-related diseases. From the time of BioCancells
inception in July 2004 through March 31, 2009, BioCancell invested approximately $12.166
million in research and development activities, general and administrative and other
expenses, which is approximately similar to its operating loss over the same period. As of
May 5, 2009, BioCancell had 17 employees, eleven of these employees conduct clinical
development or research and development for BioCancell; the other six are managers or
administrators.

BioCancells
Biotechnology

BioCancells research and
development activities build upon the research of Professor Abraham Hochberg of the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, who isolated the H19 gene and determined that it is expressed in
over 33 different forms of cancer, including superficial bladder carcinoma and pancreatic,
ovarian cancer, while laying dormant and non-expressed in non-cancerous cells. Professor
Hochbergs research discovered that the H19 gene is significantly expressed in
cancerous cells of adults. Research has also demonstrated that the H19 plays a significant
role in the tumor development process by enabling tumor cells to survive under stress
conditions, such as low serum and low oxygen levels, that are typical conditions of the
environment in which cancerous cells develop. This survival supports the growth of the
tumor and the development of metastases.

In light of the recently achieved
scientific breakthroughs in cancer research and the role of the H19 gene in such
processes, BioCancell believes that an anti-cancer drug based on the H19 gene has the
potential to provide benefits that are competitive with existing treatment methods.

BioCancell is currently focused on
developing its prospective drug, BC-819. The detection of expression of the H19 gene is
the biotechnological foundation of BioCancells potential therapy. BioCancells
development of BC-819 builds upon the research of Professor Hochberg who discovered that
the H19 gene is a diagnostic marker for cancerous growths, through the identification of
the expression of the H19 gene. Based upon these discoveries, BioCancell has developed
BC-819, which is a double stranded DNA plasmid construct that incorporates the gene for
the Diphtheria Toxin, or DTA, under the regulation of the H19 promoter sequence. The DTA
gene is transcribed into a cell-killing DTA peptide only in cells that produce H19
Ribonucleic Acid, or RNA. The H19 regulatory gene, which is crucial to the growth of the
tumor cells, is utilized instead as the activator of the intra-cellular synthesis of DTA.
The synthesis of this toxin peptide inhibits cellular protein synthesis, thereby causing
the cancer cells to commit suicide. Once the BC-819 DNA enters an H19-positive
cancer cell, the cell can offer no resistance and is marked for death. The net result of
this mechanism is highly selective tumor cell destruction. The strong safety profile of
the plasmid is due, in part, to the fact that it produces the A portion only
of diphtheria toxin inside cancerous cells. This toxin lacks the ability to penetrate
other cells provided by the B portion, and consequently only acts to destroy
the cell in which it is produced. Therefore, this new therapeutic modality is specific for
the H19-positive cancer cell and thus far was not detected with known toxic effects on
normal cells  a safety feature that is unique when compared to currently available
cancer treatments.

16

---

---

BC-819 has also demonstrated
potential with respect to combination therapy. Even in cells that produce small amounts of
H19 regulatory RNA, it appears that BC-819 acts to reverse the resistance of the cancer
cells to chemotherapeutic agents. Moreover, as a result of BioCancells therapeutic
approach, the plasmid being used to deliver the cytotoxic DTA gene does not incorporate
into the genome of the host. BioCancell believes that this has significant advantages over
gene therapy platforms for cancer that depend on a genetic correction
strategy.

BioCancell is developing two
BC-819-based strategies. The first therapy is for bladder cancer wherein DTA-H19 is mixed
with a transfection agent (to facilitate entry of BC-819 molecules into the cancer cells)
for bladder instillation. The second BC-819 approach is for advanced staged cancers such
as pancreatic, ovarian in which plasmid DNA is injected directly into the tumor or
instilled into the peritoneal cavity. Different routes of administration are employed
depending upon the type of tumor (intravesical administration for bladder cancer,
intratumoral injection for pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinoma, intraperitoneal
administration for ovarian cancer with ascites). In addition, BioCancell is developing
formulations for systemic administration for use in combination with intratumoral or
hepatic artery infusions and other oncotherapeutic agents.

Pursuant to an agreement BioCancell
has entered into with Yissum Research Development Company of the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, or Yissum, Yissum granted to BioCancell an exclusive, worldwide license for the
use, development and commercialization of the H19 gene in consideration of which
BioCancell has agreed to pay certain royalties to Yissum. Yissum was one of
BioCancells co-founders. In 2007, Yissum sold all its shares in BioCancell.

BioCancells patent portfolio
includes 48 patent applications in nine families in various stages of examination, 16 of
which have been granted in the United States, Europe, Israel, China, South Korea, Russia,
Singapore, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Brazil and the Czech Republic. All of BioCancells
patents and patent applications were licensed to BioCancell from Yissum and are subject to
the Yissum license agreement.

Clinical Trials

BioCancells primary
strategicobjective is to continue development of its prospective drug BC-819 for
the treatment of superficial bladder carcinoma while broadening the scope of development
to include additional indications.

Superficial bladder carcinoma
 BioCancell completed Phase I/IIa clinical trials of one of its
therapies  BC-819  designed for use in patients suffering
from bladder carcinoma, designed to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of BC-819
given by intravesical infusions into the bladder of 18 patients with superficial bladder
cancer who had failed previous treatment with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, or BCG, the
current standard of care.

No severe adverse side effects which
can be related to the drug were diagnosed, except for one case the reason for which is
uncertain. BioCancell did not discover any dose limiting toxicity.

17

---

---

In March 2008, BioCancell began
the FDA-approved Phase IIb trials for this therapy. The purpose of the trial is to measure
the efficacy and safety of BC-819 at a dose of 20mg, as tested in the previous Phase I/IIa
clinical trial. The trial is being conducted in a U.S.-based medical center in Arizona and
at six medical centers in Israel. This two-stage trial includes 33 patients, divided into
groups of 18 and 15. Each participant will receive six weekly treatments of BC-819.
Patients responding to the treatment will be offered nine additional maintenance
treatments.

Pancreatic cancer  In January 2009, BioCancell was
entitled to commence the Phase I/IIa clinical trial for treatment of pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of the trials, as presented to the FDA, is to examine the safety and
preliminary efficacy of BC-819, in a series of increased doses and various indications.
The clinical trial is planned to be performed at the National Cancer Institute-designated
Massey Cancer Center of Virginia Commonwealth University and will, subject to the
execution of a collaboration agreement between the parties, be partly funded by a $950,000
grant from the Israel-U.S. Bi-national Industrial Research and Development Fund.

Ovarian cancer  In 2009 BioCancell commenced Phase
I/IIa clinical trials for treatment of ovarian cancer. In the framework of the treatments,
the patient received a number of different doses of BC-819 administered by
intra-peritoneal infusions via catheter. The results indicated that the drug caused no
serious adverse events at any dosage, and a decrease of 50% in the ovarian cancer marker
protein CA-125 in the patients blood was measured, as well as a significant decrease
in the number of cancerous cells in the ascites.

Additional Cancer Drugs
in Development

In addition to pursuing its clinical
trials of BC-819 for the treatment of superficial bladder, pancreatic and ovarian cancer,
BioCancell intends to continue its pre-clinical research related to the use of BC-819 for
the treatment of various other forms of cancer as it seeks to develop additional drugs
based on various implementations of the biotechnology developed by it. The following is a
summary of some of BioCancells other research and development activities that are in
the preliminary stage of laboratory research:

| | BC-820.
BC-820 is a potential therapeutic product that activates both the synthesis of DTA and
the protein Tumor Necrosis Factor, or TNF, of the cytokine family. Like BC-819, BC-820
penetrates cancerous cells expressing the H19 gene and activates the synthesis of DTA and
TNF in a targeted manner.
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | BC-821.
BC-821 is a potential therapeutic product that penetrates cancerous cells and activates
the synthesis of DTA only in cells expressing the P4 promoter of the target gene IGF2,
which like the H19 target gene is expressed only in cancerous cells and not in
non-cancerous cells. It thus has the potential to serve as a complementary product to
BC-819, allowing the targeted destruction of cancer cells in a larger number of patients.
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | BC-822.
This potential therapeutic product seeks to suppress the growth of cancerous cells by
re-sequencing a cancer cells RNA by way of inserting a small interfering
Ribonucleic Acid, or siRNA, sequence that prevents the expression of the H19 gene. Like
BC-819, the potential therapy would first penetrate cells expressing the H19 gene and
then covalently attach the new siRNA sequence.

# A. Operating Results

Our operating and financial review
and prospects should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, accompanying
notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.

# Overview

In April 2003, STMicroelectronics
acquired our business pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. In January 2004, we reached
an agreement with STMicroelectronics that settled certain reciprocal financial claims,
including with respect to an escrow account which had been established under the asset
purchase agreement. In April 2005, the remaining amount under escrow was paid to us.

Following the sale of our business to
STMicroelectronics in April 2003, our plan of operation has been to explore the best
course of action for Tikcro, including to attempt to merge or effect a business
combination with a domestic or foreign, private or public operating company or to acquire
minority stakes in one or more operating companies in new areas of operations.

In July 2008, we acquired a minority
stake in BioCancell. In exchange for $2.5 million in funding, BioCancell issued to us
837,521 shares of common stock, a convertible note in the principal amount of $2.0 million
convertible into up to 3,464,385 shares of common stock, and a warrant to purchase up to
4,301,906 shares of common stock. Please see Item 4.A Information on the
CompanyHistory and Development of the CompanyRecent Developments for
more information.

In 2006 and 2007 we generated only
financial income, which exceeded our expenses, resulting in net income of $210,000 and
$147,000, respectively. In 2008, our expenses exceeded our financial income resulting in a
net loss of $6,000.

# Application of Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates,
judgments and assumptions based upon the information available at the time they are made,
historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Management evaluates its estimates
and judgments on an on-going basis. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex,
and consequently actual results may differ from those estimates.

The Company is also subject to risks
and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimates and assumptions,
such as changes in the economic environment, competition, foreign exchange, taxation and
governmental programs. Certain of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are discussed
in Item 3.D Risk Factors. To facilitate the understanding of our business
activities, described below are certain accounting policies that are relatively more
important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that
require managements subjective judgments. We base our judgments on past experience
and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Please refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual
Report for a summary of all of our significant accounting policies.

Fair value of financial
instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents, other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to the
short-term maturity of such instruments. The fair value for marketable securities is based
on quoted market price.

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157), and
effective October 10, 2008, we adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-3,
Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is
Not Active (FSP 157-3), except as it applies to the non-financial assets
and liabilities subject to FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157" (FSP 157-2). SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit
price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is
a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

As a basis for considering such
assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the
inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

20

---

---

Level 1  Observable inputs that
reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2  Valuations based on
one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant
inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3  Unobservable inputs
which are supported by little or no market activity and significant to the overall fair
value measurement.

The fair value hierarchy also
requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

21

---

---

Marketable securities

SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 59, Accounting for Noncurrent Marketable Equity
Securities, provides guidance on determining when an investment is other-than-temporarily
impaired. Investments are reviewed quarterly for indicators of other-than-temporary
impairment. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, we
evaluate, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an
investment is less than its cost, the financial health of the investee, and our intent and
ability to hold the investment. Investments with such an indicator are further evaluated
to determine the likelihood of a significant adverse effect on the fair value and amount
of the impairment as necessary. If market, industry and/or investee conditions
deteriorate, we may incur future impairments.

Accounting for
stock-based compensation

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to
estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an
option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to
vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Companys
statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for
equity-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in
accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123).

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using
the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the
accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Companys fiscal
year 2006. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized includes: (a)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based
payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As required by the modified
prospective method results for prior periods have not been restated.

The Company recognized compensation
expenses for the value of these awards, which has straight-line vesting, over the
requisite service period of each of the awards.

The Company estimates the fair value
of stock options and shares granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.
The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant
are, expected stock price volatility, and the expected option term. Expected volatility
was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements over the most recent
periods ending at the date of grant, based on the expected option term (disregarding the
term before the Company started operating in its current mode). The expected option term
represents the period that the Companys stock options are expected to be outstanding
and was determined based on the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting
terms and original contractual terms of the stock options. The Company has historically
not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest
rate is based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term.

22

Long-term investment

In February 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides companies
with an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value, which can be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Unrealized gains and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings
at each subsequent reporting date. We elected to apply the fair value option for our
holdings in BioCancells common stock, convertible note and warrant in accordance
with SFAS 159. The primary reasons for electing the fair value option were simplification
and cost-benefit considerations as well as expansion of the use of fair value measurement
being consistent with the FASBs long-term measurement objectives for accounting for
financial instruments.

Recently Enacted
Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP
No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157". The staff
positions defer the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for
items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at least
annually, and amend the scope of Statement 157. We adopted Statement 157 and the related
FASB staff positions, except for those items specifically deferred under FSP
No. FAS 157-2.

In November 2008, the FASB ratified
EITF Issue No. 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations, or
EITF 08-6. EITF 08-6 clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment
considerations involving equity method investments. This issue is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Earlier application by an entity that has previously adopted an alternative accounting
policy is not permitted. The adoption of EITF 08-6 is not expected to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP
No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset
or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance to
assist both issuers and users of financial statements in determining whether a market is
active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed. The FSP will be effective for
us for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of FSP 157-4 to
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP,
No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments (the FSP). The FSP is intended to provide greater clarity to
investors about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment
event and to more effectively communicate when an other-than-temporary impairment event
has occurred. The FSP applies to fixed maturity securities only and requires separate
display of losses related to credit deterioration and losses related to other market
factors. When an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than
not that an entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis,
it must recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings
and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. upon adoption of the FSP, an
entity will be required to record a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of
the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously recognized
other-than-temporary impairment from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive
income. The FSP will be effective for us for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. We do not
expect the adoption of the FSP to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

Revenues.
          We did not have any revenues in 2006, 2007 or 2008.

General and administrative
expenses. In 2006 and 2007, we incurred only general and administrative expenses,
which consisted primarily of management fees paid to Orckit Communications Ltd.
(Orckit) and professional fees. The increase in 2007 was primarily due to
professional fees incurred in negotiating and the evaluation of potential transactions and
other matters. In 2008, we incurred higher general and administrative expenses than in
2007, mainly due to higher equity-based compensation expenses related to officers and
directors and due to a tax payment. In 2006 and 2007, we had no paid employees.

Financial income, net.
Financial income consists primarily of interest on marketable securities and bank
deposits. In 2008, our financial income also included income from the change in the
valuation of our investment in BioCancell in the amount of $393,000.

Net income. In 2006, we had
net income of $210,000, as a result of financial income in the amount of $419,000, which
was partly offset by our general and administrative expenses in the amount of $209,000.

In 2007, we had net income of
$147,000, primarily as a result of financial income in the amount of $481,000, which was
partly offset by our general and administrative expenses in the amount of $334,000.

In 2008, we had net loss of $6,000,
as a result of general and administrative expenses in the amount of $658,000, offset by
financial income in the amount of $652,000.

Impact of Inflation, Devaluation
and Fluctuation of Currencies on Results of Operations Liabilities and Assets

A devaluation of the new Israeli
shekel in relation to the U.S. dollar would have the effect of decreasing the dollar value
of our assets in new Israeli shekels to the extent the underlying value is new Israeli
shekel-based. Such a devaluation also would have the effect of reducing the U.S. dollar
amount of any of our liabilities which are payable in new Israeli shekels (unless such
payables are linked to the U.S. dollar).

We may have from time to time
expenses denominated in new Israeli shekels. Such expenses would decrease as a result of a
devaluation of the new Israeli shekel in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of the
U.S. dollar declined against the NIS in 2007 and 2008, which caused our NIS denominated
expenses to increase. We do not presently engage in any hedging or other transactions
intended to manage risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The following table presents
information about the rate of inflation in Israel, the rate of devaluation of the new
Israeli shekel against the U.S. dollar, and the rate of inflation of Israel adjusted for
the devaluation:

# Government Grants

Under the Law for the Encouragement
of Industrial Research and Development, 1984, or the R&D Law, research and development
programs which meet specified criteria and are approved by a governmental committee of the
Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of the
Government of Israel are eligible for grants of up to 50% of the projects
expenditure, as determined by the research committee, in exchange for the payment of
royalties from the sale of products (and related services) developed in accordance with
the program.

We did not receive any grants from
the Office of the Chief Scientist in 2006 through 2008.

Our agreements with
STMicroelectronics were approved by the Office of the Chief Scientist. This approval was
conditioned upon the undertaking of STMicroelectronics to comply with the provisions of
the R&D Law and to pay to the Office of the Chief Scientist royalties on the sale of
the purchased products that are based on our funded intellectual property.

# C. Board Practices

Israeli
Companies Law

We are subject to the provisions of
the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, and the regulations adopted thereunder.

Board
of Directors

According to the Companies Law and
our articles of association, the oversight of the management of our business is vested in
our board of directors. The board of directors may exercise all powers and may take all
actions that are not specifically granted to our shareholders. As part of its powers, our
board of directors may cause us to borrow or secure payment of any sum or sums of money
for our purposes, at times and upon terms and conditions as it thinks fit, including the
grant of security interests in all or any part of our property. Our board of directors may
consist of not less than three and no more than 15 directors and as of the date hereof,consists of four directors, including our external directors.

Under the Companies Law, our board of
directors must determine the minimum number of directors having financial and accounting
expertise, as defined in the regulations, that our board of directors should have. In
determining the number of directors required to have such expertise, the board of
directors must consider, among other things, the type and size of the company and the
scope and complexity of its operations. Our board of directors has determined that we
require one director with the requisite financial and accounting expertise and that
Yiftach Atir has such expertise.

According to the Companies Law, a
companys chairman of the board may not serve as its chief executive officer, unless
otherwise approved by the shareholders for periods of up to three years. The required
shareholder approval is a majority of the shares voted on the matter, provided that at
least two-thirds of the shares of non-controlling shareholders voted in favor or no more
than 1% of the shares of non-controlling shareholders voted against.

Our directors are elected at annual
meetings of our shareholders by a vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares
voting thereon. Generally, our directors hold office until the next annual meeting of
shareholders following the annual meeting at which they were elected. Directors may be
removed earlier from office by resolution passed at a general meeting of our
shareholders.Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, external directors are elected
by shareholders for a three-year term and may be re-elected by shareholders for an
additional three-year term.

Unless otherwise unanimously decided
by our directors, a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors is constituted by the
presence of a majority of the directors then in office who are lawfully entitled to
participate in the meeting, but not less than two directors. A resolution proposed at a
meeting of the board of directors is deemed adopted if approved by a majority of the
directors present and voting on the matter.

There are no arrangements or
understandings between us and any of our directors for benefits upon termination of
service.

External
Directors

Qualifications
of External Directors

Under the Companies Law, companies
incorporated under the laws of Israel whose shares are listed for trading on a stock
exchange or have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel are required to
appoint at least two external directors. External directors are required to possess
professional qualifications as set out in regulations promulgated under the Companies Law.
The Companies Law provides that a person may not be appointed as an external director if
the person or the persons relative, partner, employer or any entity under the
persons control has, as of the date of the persons appointment to serve as an
external director, or had, during the two years preceding that date any affiliation with:

| |  | the
company;
| | - | ------------

| |  | any
entity controlling the company; or
| | - | --------------------------------------

| |  | any
entity controlled by the company or by its controlling entity.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------

The term affiliation includes:

| |  | an
employment relationship;
| | - | ---------------------------

| |  | a
business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | control;
and
| | - | ------------

| |  | service
as an office holder.
| | - | ----------------------------

The Companies Law defines the term
office holder of a company to include a director, the chief executive officer,
the chief business manager, a vice president and any officer that reports directly to the
chief executive officer.

No person can serve as an external
director if the persons position or other business creates, or may create conflict
of interests with the persons responsibilities as an external director or may
otherwise interfere with the persons ability to serve as an external director. Until
the lapse of two years from termination of office, a company may not engage an external
director to serve as an office holder and cannot employ or receive services from that
person, either directly or indirectly, including through a corporation controlled by that
person.

Election
Of External Directors

External directors are to be elected
by a majority vote at a shareholders meeting, provided that either:

| |  | at
least one third of the shares of  non-controlling  shareholders  voted at the meeting
vote in               favor of the election; or
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

30

---

---

| |  | the
total number of shares voted against the election of the external director does not
exceed one percent of the aggregate voting rights in the company.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial term of an external
director is three years and may be extended for an additional three years. Thereafter, he
or she may be reelected by our shareholders for additional periods of up to three years
each only if the audit committee and the board of directors confirm that, in light of the
external directors expertise and special contribution to the work of the board of
directors and its committees, the reelection for such additional periods is beneficial to
the company. External directors may be removed from office only by the same percentage of
shareholders as is required for their election, or by a court, and then only if the
external directors cease to meet the statutory qualifications for their appointment or if
they violate their duty of loyalty to the company. Each committee of a companys
board of directors is required to include at least one external director, except for the
audit committee which is required to include all the external directors. Irit Gal
commenced her second term as an External Director on August 28, 2006, and Yiftach Atir
commenced his first term as an External Director on September 28, 2006.

Audit
Committee

Under the Companies Law, our board of
directors is required to appoint an audit committee, comprised of at least three directors
including all of the external directors, but excluding:

| |  | the
chairman of the board of directors; and
| | - | -------------------------------------------

| |  | a
controlling shareholder or a relative of a controlling shareholder and any director
employed by the company or who provides services to the company on a regular basis.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The role of the audit committee is to
examine deficiencies in the management of the companys business, in consultation
with the internal auditor and the companys independent accountants, suggest remedial
action and to approve specified related party transactions. Our audit committee currently
consists of our two external directors.

We have adopted an audit committee
charter, which sets forth the powers and responsibilities of our audit committee. Our
audit committee assists the board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility for
oversight of the quality and integrity of our accounting, auditing and financial reporting
practices and financial statements and the independence qualifications and performance of
our independent auditors. Our audit committee also has the authority and responsibility to
oversee our independent auditors, to recommend for shareholder approval the appointment
and, where appropriate, replacement of our independent auditors and to pre-approve audit
engagement fees and all permitted non-audit services and fees. Our audit committee also
serves as our qualified legal compliance committee, responsible for investigating reports,
made by attorneys appearing and practicing before the SEC in representing us, of perceived
material violations of U.S. federal or state securities laws, breaches of fiduciary duty
or similar violations by us or any of our agents.

31

---

---

Approval
of Interested Party Transactions

The approval of the audit committee
is required to effect specified actions and transactions with office holders, controlling
shareholders and entities in which they have a personal interest. An audit committee may
not approve an action or a transaction with related parties or with its office holders
unless at the time of approval the two external directors are serving as members of the
audit committee and at least one of whom was present at the meeting in which an approval
was granted.

Internal
Auditor

Our board of directors has appointed
an internal auditor. Under the Companies Law, the role of the internal auditor is to
examine, among other things, whether the companys actions comply with the law and
orderly business procedure. Under the Companies Law, the internal auditor may not be an
interested party, an office holder or a relative of any of the foregoing, nor may the
internal auditor be the companys independent accountant or its representative. The
Companies Law defines the term interested party to include a person who holds
5% or more of the companys outstanding share capital or voting rights, a person who
has the right to appoint one or more directors or the general manager, or any person who
serves as a director or as the general manager.

Approval
of Specified Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law

Fiduciary
Duties of Office Holders

The Companies Law imposes a duty of
care and a duty of loyalty on all office holders of a company. The duty of care requires
an office holder to act with the level of care with which a reasonable office holder in
the same position would have acted under the same circumstances. The duty of care includes
a duty to use reasonable means to obtain:

| |  | information
on the advisability of a given action brought for his approval or performed by him by
virtue of his position; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | all
other important information pertaining to these actions.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------

The
duty of loyalty of an office holder includes a duty to:

| |  | refrain
from any conflict of interest between the performance of his duties in the company and
the performance of his other duties or his personal affairs;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | refrain
from any activity that is competitive with the company;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | refrain
from  exploiting  any business  opportunity of the company to receive a personal gain for
              himself or others; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | disclose
to the company any information or documents relating to a companys affairs which
the office holder has received due to his position as an office holder.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure
of Personal Interest of an Office Holder

The Companies Law requires that an
office holder of a company disclose to the company any personal interest that he may have
and all related material information known to him, in connection with any existing or
proposed transaction by the company. The disclosure is required to be made promptly and in
any event no later than the board of directors meeting in which the transaction is first
discussed. If the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, the office holder must also
disclose any personal interest held by:

32

---

---

| |  | the
office holders spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouses
descendants and the spouses of any of these people; or
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | any
corporation in which the office holder is a 5% or greater shareholder, director or
general manager or in which he has the right to appoint at least one director or the
general manager.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the Companies Law, an
extraordinary transaction is a transaction:

| |  | other
than in the ordinary course of business;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------

| |  | otherwise
than on market terms; or
| | - | ----------------------------------

| |  | that
 is  likely  to  have  a  material  impact  of  the  company's  profitability,  assets
 or                 liabilities.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once an office holder complies with
the above disclosure requirement, the board of directors may approve a transaction between
the company and an office holder, or a third party in which an office holder has a
personal interest. A transaction that is adverse to the companys interest may not be
approved.

If the transaction is an
extraordinary transaction, approval of both the audit committee and the board of directors
is required. Under specific circumstances, shareholder approval may also be required. A
director who has a personal interest in a transaction that is considered at a meeting of
the board of directors or the audit committee generally may not be present at this meeting
or vote on this matter, unless a majority of the members of the board of directors or the
audit committee, as the case may be, has a personal interest in the matter. If a majority
of members of the board of directors have a personal interest therein, shareholder
approval is also required.

Disclosure
of Personal Interests of a Controlling Shareholder

Under the Companies Law, the
disclosure requirements that apply to an office holder also apply to a controlling
shareholder of a public company. A controlling shareholder is a shareholder who has the
ability to direct the activities of a company, including, for this purpose, a shareholder
that owns 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of
the voting rights, but excluding a shareholder whose power derives solely from his or her
position on the board of directors or any other position with the company. Extraordinary
transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a
personal interest, and the engagement of a controlling shareholder as an office holder or
employee, require the approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and the
shareholders of the company in that order. The shareholder approval must be by a majority
of the shares voted on the matter, provided that either:

| |  | at
least one-third of the shares of shareholders who have no personal interest in the
transaction and who vote on the matter vote in favor thereof; or
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

33

---

---

| |  | the
shareholders who have no personal interest in the transaction who vote against the
transaction do not represent more than one percent of the voting rights in the company.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shareholders generally have the right
to examine any document in the companys possession pertaining to any matter that
requires shareholder approval.

# D. Employees

We had one employee as
of December 31, 2006 and 2007 and two employees as of December 31, 2008.

# E. Share Ownership

As of May 31, 2009, Mr. Eric Paneth
beneficially owned 1,156,602 ordinary shares, or approximately 13.5% of our outstanding
ordinary shares and Mr. Izhak Tamir beneficially owned 1,061,701 ordinary shares, or
approximately 12.4% of our outstanding ordinary shares. None of our other directors
beneficially owns 1% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares.

Share Incentive Plans

We have two share incentive plans
pursuant to which options may be granted to our directors, officers, employees,
consultants and contractors. These share incentive plans are administered by our board of
directors, which determines the optionees, dates of grant and the exercise price of
options. Unless otherwise decided by our board of directors, options granted under the
share incentive plans are non-assignable except by the laws of descent. Under the share
incentive plans, the grantee is responsible for all personal tax consequences of the grant
and the exercise thereof. The plan adopted in 2003 (the 2003 Plan) allows us
to grant options to qualified persons pursuant to the capital gains route
under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. In December 2007, our Board of
Directors amended the 2003 Plan to also enable the granting of restricted shares or
restricted share units, or RSUs. Restricted shares are grants of our ordinary shares that
are subject to certain re-sale restrictions for a specified period of time, and RSUs are
rights to receive our ordinary shares under certain conditions, for no consideration. The
other terms and conditions of the 2003 Plan that are applicable to options also apply to
restricted stock and RSUs, to the extent applicable.

As of May 31, 2009, we had
outstanding (i) options to purchase a total of 133,334 ordinary shares, all of which were
held by our directors, and (ii) 253,003 restricted shares that are subject to contractual
restrictions on transfer and are subject to repurchase by us for no consideration under
certain circumstances.

As of May 11, 2009, there were 71
holders of record of our ordinary shares in the United States who collectively held
approximately 69.3% of our outstanding ordinary shares. The number of record holders in
the United States is not representative of the number of beneficial holders nor is it
representative of where such beneficial holders are resident since many of these ordinary
shares were held of record by brokers or other nominees.

# B. Related Party
Transactions

Relationship between
Tikcro and Orckit

Tikcro and Orckit, except as
otherwise contemplated in the agreement referred to below, operate independently of one
another as separate public companies. We believe that the agreement described below has
been entered into on terms similar to terms that would be obtained from independent third
parties.

On July 1, 2003, Tikcro signed a
Services Agreement with Orckit for administrative services, including bookkeeping and
office services, as well as for certain services related to the evaluation of prospective
opportunities for a business combination. Total fees to Orckit for such services in 2004
were $25,000 per quarter. In 2005 the fees were reduced to $18,000 per quarter, and in
2006 the fees were further reduced to $12,000 per quarter.

Legal
Proceedings

In June 2009, our shareholders Steven
and Kimberly Bronson filed a complaint in the District Court of Tel Aviv-Jaffa against us
and our present or former directors and/or officers, Izhak Tamir, Eric Paneth and Aviv
Boim, requesting, among other things, an order that we call a meeting of shareholders to
vote on (i) a proposal to amend our articles of association to grant to our
shareholders the power, normally conferred upon the board of directors, to determine plans
of action for the company and (ii) if such proposal is approved by our shareholders, a
proposal to approve a distribution of substantially all of our cash and all of our
securities in BioCancell. We believe that the complaint is without merit and intend to
defend against it vigorously.

Significant
Changes

No significant change has occurred
since December 31, 2008, except as otherwise disclosed in this Annual Report.

# B. Memorandum and
Articles of Association

# Objects and Purposes

We were organized under Israeli law
on December 14, 1999 as a private company, and on June 30, 2000 became a public company.
Our registration number with the Israeli registrar of companies is 51-286883-7. Our object
is to engage, directly or indirectly, in any lawful undertaking or business whatsoever,
including, without limitation, as stipulated in section 2 of our memorandum of
association, which was filed with the Israeli registrar of companies.

# Transfer of Shares and
Notices

Fully paid ordinary shares may be
freely transferred pursuant to our articles of association unless the transfer is
restricted or prohibited by another instrument. Unless otherwise prescribed by law,
shareholders of record are entitled to at least 21 calendar days prior notice of any
general shareholders meeting.

The ownership or voting of our
ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel, except with respect to citizens of countries
which are in a state of war with Israel, is not restricted in any way by our memorandum of
association or articles of association or by the laws of the State of Israel.

# Dividend and Liquidation
Rights

Our board of directors is authorized
to declare dividends, subject to applicable law. Dividends may be paid only out of profits
and other surplus, as defined in the Companies Law, as of the end of the most recent
financial statements or as accrued over a period of two years, whichever is higher.
Alternatively, if we do not have sufficient profits or other surplus, then permission to
effect a distribution can be granted by order of an Israeli court. In any event, a
distribution is permitted only if there is no reasonable concern that the dividend will
prevent us from satisfying our existing and foreseeable obligations as they become due.

38

---

---

In the event of our liquidation,
after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the
holders of ordinary shares in proportion to their respective holdings. Dividend and
liquidation right may be affected by the grant of preferential dividends or distribution
rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized
in the future.

# Voting,
Shareholders Meetings and Resolutions

Holders of ordinary shares have one
vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
These voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the
holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the
future. No cumulative voting is permitted.

We have two types of general
shareholders meetings: the annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings.
These meetings may be held either in Israel or in any other place the board of directors
determines. An annual general meeting must be held in each calendar year, but not more
than 15 months after the last annual general meeting. Our board of directors may convene
an extraordinary meeting, from time to time, at its discretion and is required to do so
upon the request of any two directors, at least 25% of the directors, or shareholders
holding at least 5% of our ordinary shares. The quorum required for an ordinary meeting of
shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold
or represent between them at least 25% of the outstanding voting shares unless otherwise
required by applicable rules. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum generally is
adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or any time and
place as the chairman may designate with the consent of the holders of a majority of the
voting power represented at the meeting and voting on the matter adjourned. At such
reconvened meeting the required quorum consists of any two members present in person or by
proxy.

Under the Companies Law and our
articles of association, all resolutions of the shareholders require a simple majority of
the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter.

These voting rights may be affected
by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class of shares with
preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.

# Duties of Shareholders

Under the Companies Law, each and
every shareholder has a duty to act in good faith in exercising his rights and fulfilling
his obligations towards us and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his power in
Tikcro, such as in voting in the general meeting of shareholders on the following matters:

| |  | any
amendment to the articles of association;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------

| |  | an
increase of our authorized share capital;
| | - | --------------------------------------------

39

---

---

| |  | a
merger; or
| | - | ------------

| |  | approval
of certain actions and transactions which require shareholder approval.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, each and every
shareholder has the general duty to refrain from depriving other shareholders of their
rights.

Furthermore, any controlling
shareholder, any shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the
outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder that, pursuant to the provisions of the
articles of association, has the power to appoint or to prevent the appointment of an
office holder in Tikcro or any other power toward Tikcro is under a duty to act in
fairness towards us. The Companies Law does not describe the substance of this duty of
fairness.

# Mergers and Acquisitions
under Israeli Law; Anti-takeover Provisions

The Companies Law includes provisions
that allow a merger transaction and requires that each company that is a party to a merger
have the transaction approved by its board of directors and a vote of the majority of its
shares. For purposes of the shareholder vote, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger
will not be deemed approved if a majority of the shares held by parties other than the
other party to the merger, or by any person who holds 25% or more of the shares or the
right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other party, vote against the merger.
Upon the request of a creditor of either party of the proposed merger, the court may delay
or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that as a
result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of
any of the parties to the merger. In addition, a merger may not be completed unless at
least (i) 50 days have passed from the time that a proposal of the merger has been filed
with the Israeli Registrar of Companies by each merging company and (ii) 30 days have
passed since the merger was approved by the shareholders of each merging company.

The Companies Law also provides that
an acquisition of shares of a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as
a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the
company and there is no existing 25% or greater shareholder in the company. An acquisition
of shares of a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of
the acquisition the purchaser would become a 45% or greater shareholder of the company and
there is no existing 45% or greater shareholder in the company. This requirement does not
apply if the acquisition (i) occurs in the context of a private placement by the company
that received shareholder approval, (ii) was from a 25% shareholder of the company and
resulted in the acquirer becoming a 25% shareholder of the company or (iii) was from a 45%
shareholder of the company and resulted in the acquirer becoming a 45% shareholder of the
company. The tender offer must be extended to all shareholders, but the offeror is not
required to purchase more than 5% of the companys outstanding shares, regardless of
how many shares are tendered by shareholders. The tender offer may be consummated only if
(i) at least 5% of the companys outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror
and (ii) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose
holders objected to the offer.

40

---

---

If as a result of an acquisition of
shares the acquirer will hold more than 90% of a companys outstanding shares, the
acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares. If
as a result of a full the tender offer the acquirer would own more than 95% of the
outstanding shares, then all the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be
transferred to it. The law provides for appraisal rights if any shareholder files a
request in court within three months following the consummation of a full tender offer. If
as a result of a full tender offer the acquirer would own 95% or less of the outstanding
shares, then the acquirer may not acquire shares that will cause his shareholding to
exceed 90% of the outstanding shares.

Finally, Israeli tax law treats
stock-for-stock acquisitions between an Israeli company and a foreign company less
favorably than does U.S. tax law. For example, Israeli tax law may, under certain
circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges his ordinary shares for shares in
another corporation to taxation prior to the sale of the shares received in such
stock-for-stock swap.

Our articles of association provide
that our board of directors may, at any time in its sole discretion, adopt protective
measures to prevent or delay a coercive takeover of Tikcro, including, without limitation,
the adoption of a shareholder rights plan. In September 2005, our board of directors
adopted a shareholder bonus rights plan pursuant to which share purchase bonus rights were
distributed on September 26, 2005, at the rate of one right for each of our ordinary
shares held by shareholders of record as of the close of business on that date.

The rights plan is intended to help
ensure that all of our shareholders are able to realize the long-term value of their
investment in Tikcro in the event of a potential takeover which does not reflect the full
value of Tikcro and is otherwise not in the best interests of Tikcro and its shareholders.
The rights plan is also intended to deter unfair or coercive takeover tactics.

Each right initially will entitle
shareholders to buy one-half of one of our ordinary shares for $2.50. The rights generally
will be exercisable and transferable apart from our ordinary shares only if a person or
group becomes an acquiring person by acquiring beneficial ownership of 15% or
more of our ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the rights plan,
or commences a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which such person or group
would become an acquiring person. Subject to certain conditions described in
the rights plan, once the rights become exercisable, the holders of rights, other than the
acquiring person, will be entitled to purchase ordinary shares at a discount from the
market price.

The rights will expire on December
31, 2015 and are generally redeemable by our board of directors, at $0.01 per right, at
any time until the tenth business day following public disclosure that a person or group
has become an acquiring person.

# Modification of Class
Rights

Our articles of association provide
that the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of that
class), such as voting, rights to dividends and the like, may be varied by a shareholders
resolution, subject to the sanction of a resolution passed by the holders of a majority of
the shares of that class at a separate class meeting.

# Indemnification,
Exculpation and Insurance of Office Holders

Exculpation
of Office Holders

Under the Companies Law, an Israeli
company may not exempt an office holder from liability for breach of his duty of loyalty,
but may exempt in advance an office holder from liability to the company, in whole or in
part, for a breach of his duty of care (except in connection with distributions), provided
the articles of association of the company allow it to do so. Our articles of
associationallow us to exempt our office holders to the fullest extent permitted
by law.

Insurance
of Office Holders

Our articles of association provide
that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, we may enter into an insurancecontract which would provide coverage for any monetaryliability incurred byany of our office holders, with respect to an act performed in the capacity of an
office holder for:

| |  | a
breach of his duty of care to us or to another person;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------

| |  | a
breach of his duty of loyalty to us, provided that the office holder acted in good faith
and had reasonable cause to assume that his act would not prejudice our interests; or
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | a
financial liability imposed upon him in favor of another person.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------

Indemnification
of Office Holders

The Companies Law and our articles of
association provide that a company may indemnify an office holder against the following
obligations and expenses imposed on the office holder with respect to an act performed in
the capacity of an office holder:

| |  | a
financial obligation imposed on him in favor of another person by a court judgment,
including a compromise judgment or an arbitrators award approved by the court; such
indemnification may be approved (i) after the liability has been incurred or (ii) in
advance, provided that our undertaking to indemnify is limited to events that our board
of directors believes are foreseeable in light of our actual operations at the time of
providing the undertaking and to a sum or criterion that our board of directors
determines to be reasonable under the circumstances.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | reasonable
litigation expenses, including attorneys fees, expended by the office holder as a
result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him by a competent authority,
provided that such investigation or proceeding concluded without the filing of an
indictment against him and either (A) concluded without the imposition of any financial
liability in lieu of criminal proceedings or (B) concluded with the imposition of a
financial liability in lieu of criminal proceedings but relates to a criminal offense
that does not require proof of criminal intent; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | reasonable
litigation expenses, including attorneys fees, expended by the office holder or
charged to him by a court in connection with:
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

42

---

---

| |  | proceedings
 we institute  against him or that are  instituted on our behalf or by another
                     person;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | a
criminal charge from which he is acquitted; or
| | - | ------------------------------------------------

| |  | a
criminal proceeding in which he is convicted of an offense that does not require proof of
criminal intent.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Limitations
on Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification

The Companies Law provides that a
company may not exculpate or indemnify an office holder, or enter into an insurance
contract which would provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a result of
any of the following:

| |  | a
breach by the office holder of his duty of loyalty unless, with respect to insurance
coverage or indemnification, the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable
basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | a
breach by the  office  holder of his duty of care if the  breach  was done  intentionally
 or                 recklessly;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | any
act or omission done with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | any
fine levied against the office holder.
| | - | ------------------------------------------

In addition, under the Companies Law,
exculpation of, indemnification of, and procurement of insurance coverage for, our office
holders must be approved by our audit committee and our board of directors and, if the
beneficiary is a director, by our shareholders.

Our articles of associations also
provide that, subject to the provisions of applicable law, we may procure insurance for or
indemnify any person who is not an office holder, including without limitation, any of our
employees, agents, consultants or contractors.

In accordance with the foregoing
provisions, we have obtained liability insurance in favor of our directors and officers
and have granted them letters of indemnification and exculpation.

# C. Material Contracts

In September 2005, we entered into a
bonus rights agreement with a trustee on behalf of our shareholders, which is summarized
above under Item 10.B Mergers and Acquisitions under Israeli Law;
Anti-Takeover Provisions and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this
Annual Report.

For information regarding our
agreements with BioCancell, see Item 4.A Information on the Company  History
and Development of the CompanyRecent Developments.

# D. Exchange Controls

There are currently no Israeli
currency control restrictions on payments of dividends or other distributions with respect
to our ordinary shares or the proceeds from the sale of the shares, except for the
obligation of Israeli residents to file reports with the Bank of Israel regarding certain
transactions. However, legislation remains in effect pursuant to which currency controls
can be imposed by administrative action at any time.

# E. Taxation

The following is a general summary
only and should not be considered as income tax advice or relied upon for tax planning
purposes. Holders of our ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the
United States, Israeli or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and
disposition of ordinary shares, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state
or local taxes.

# United States Federal
Income Tax Consequences

The following summary describes the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) arising
from the purchase, ownership or disposition of our ordinary shares. This summary is based
on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the final, temporary and
proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial
interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change
(possibly with retroactive effect) or different interpretations. For purposes of this
summary, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to refer only to any of the following holders of our
ordinary shares:

| |  | an
 individual  who is either a U.S.  citizen or a resident of the U.S.  for U.S.  federal
 income tax                 purposes;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | a
corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation  for U.S.  federal income tax
purposes  created                 or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or any
political subdivision thereof;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | an
estate the income of which is subject to U.S.  federal  income tax  regardless of the
source of its                 income; and
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | a
trust, if (a) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary  supervision over the
 administration  of the                 trust and one or more U.S.  persons have the
authority to control all substantial  decisions of                 the trust,  or (b) the
trust has a valid  election in effect  under  applicable  U.S.  Treasury
                Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This summary does not consider all
aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular U.S. Holders by
reason of their particular circumstances, including potential application of the U.S.
federal alternative minimum tax, or any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. federal tax
laws or U.S. federal tax laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws. In addition, this
summary is directed only to U.S. Holders that hold our ordinary shares as capital
assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and does not address the
considerations that may be applicable to particular classes of U.S. Holders, including
financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts,
pension funds, insurance companies, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, grantor
trusts, partnerships or other pass-through entities and other partners or other equity
owners in such partnerships or pass-through entities, U.S. Holders whose functional
currency is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. Holders who have elected mark-to-market accounting,
U.S. Holders who acquired our ordinary shares through the exercise of options or otherwise
as compensation, U.S. Holders who hold our ordinary shares as part of a
straddle, hedge or conversion transaction, U.S.
Holders selling our ordinary shares short, U.S. Holders deemed to have sold our ordinary
shares in a constructive sale, and U.S. Holders, directly, indirectly or
through attribution, of 10% or more (by vote or value) of our outstanding ordinary shares.
If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity, domestic or foreign, treated as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our ordinary
shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally
will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.

44

---

---

Each U.S. Holder should consult with
its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to it of the purchase, ownership
and sale of our ordinary shares, including the effects of applicable tax treaties, state,
local, foreign or other tax laws and possible changes in the tax laws.

Sale, Exchange or Other
Taxable Disposition of Our Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion below under
Passive Foreign Investment Company Status, a U.S. Holders sale, exchange
or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares generally will result in the
recognition by such U.S. Holder of capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the
difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized and the U.S. Holders
tax basis in the ordinary shares disposed of (determined in U.S. dollars). This gain or
loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if such ordinary shares have been held or are
deemed to have been held for more than one year at the time of the disposition. Individual
U.S. Holders currently are subject to a maximum tax rate of 15% on long-term capital gains
for tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2010. Short-term capital gains generally
are taxed at the same rates applicable to ordinary income. If the U.S. Holders
holding period on the date of the taxable disposition is one year or less, such gain or
loss is traded as a short-term capital gain or loss. See Israeli Tax Considerations
 Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary Shares for a discussion of
taxation by Israel of capital gains realized on sales of our ordinary shares. Any capital
loss realized upon the taxable disposition of ordinary shares generally is deductible only
against capital gains and not against ordinary income, except that non-corporate U.S.
Holders generally may deduct annually from ordinary income up to $3,000 of capital losses
in excess of capital gains. In general, any capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S.
Holder upon the taxable disposition of ordinary shares will be treated as U.S.-source
income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. However, under the tax treaty between
the United States and Israel, gain derived from the taxable disposition of ordinary shares
by a U.S. Holder who is a resident of the United States. for purposes of the treaty and
who sells the ordinary shares within Israel may be treated as foreign-source income for
U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

A U.S. Holders tax basis in
his, her or its ordinary shares generally will be the U.S. dollar purchase price paid by
such U.S. Holder to acquire such ordinary shares. The U.S. dollar cost of an ordinary
share purchased with foreign currency generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the
purchase price on the date of purchase or, in the case of our ordinary shares that are
purchased by a cash basis U.S. Holder (or an accrual basis U.S. Holder that so elects), on
the settlement date for the purchase. Such an election by an accrual basis U.S. Holder
must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be revoked without the consent
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The holding period of each ordinary share owned by a
U.S. Holder will commence on the day following the date of the U.S. Holders purchase
of such ordinary share and will include the day on which the ordinary share is sold by
such U.S. Holder.

45

---

---

In the case of a U.S. Holder who uses
the cash basis method of accounting and who receives NIS in connection with the taxable
disposition of ordinary shares, the amount realized will be based on the spot
rate of exchange on the settlement date of such taxable disposition. If such U.S.
Holder subsequently converts NIS into U.S. dollars at a conversion rate other than the
spot rate in effect on the settlement date, he, she or it may have a foreign currency
exchange gain or loss treated as ordinary income or loss for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. A U.S. Holder who uses the accrual method of accounting may elect the same
treatment required of cash method taxpayers with respect to a taxable disposition of
ordinary shares, provided that the election is applied consistently from year to year.
Such election may not be changed without the consent of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
If an accrual method U.S. Holder does not elect to be treated as a cash method taxpayer
(pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations applicable to foreign currency transactions), such
U.S. Holder may be deemed to have realized an immediate foreign currency gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes in the event of any difference between the U.S. dollar
value of the NIS on the date of taxable disposition and the settlement date. Any such
currency gain or loss generally would be treated as U.S.-source ordinary income or loss
and would be subject to tax in addition to any gain or loss recognized by such U.S. Holder
on the taxable disposition of ordinary shares.

Treatment of Distributions

For U.S federal income tax purposes,
the amount of any distribution with respect to our ordinary shares will equal the amount
of cash distributed, the fair market value of any property distributed and the amount of
any Israeli taxes withheld on such distribution as described below under Israeli Tax
Considerations  Tax on Dividends to Non-Israeli Resident Shareholders. Other
than distributions in liquidation or in redemption of our ordinary shares that are treated
as exchanges, a distribution with respect to our ordinary shares to a U.S. Holder
generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent the distribution does not exceed our
current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. The amount of any distribution that exceeds these earnings and profits will be
treated first as a non-taxable return of capital, reducing the U.S. Holders tax
basis in his, her or its ordinary shares (but not below zero), and then generally as
capital gain from a deemed sale or exchange of such ordinary shares. Corporate U.S.
Holders generally will not be allowed a deduction under Section 243 of the Code for
dividends received on our ordinary shares and thus will be subject to tax at the rate
applicable to their taxable income. Currently, a noncorporate U.S. Holders
qualified dividend income generally is subject to tax at a rate of 15%. For
this purpose, qualified dividend income generally includes dividends paid by a
foreign corporation if, among other things, the noncorporate U.S. Holder meets certain
minimum holding period requirements and either (a) the stock of such corporation is
readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S., including the Nasdaq
Global Market, or (b) such corporation is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive
income tax treaty with the U.S. which includes an information exchange program and is
determined to be satisfactory by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. The U.S. Secretary of
the Treasury has indicated that the income tax treaty between the U.S. and Israel is
satisfactory for this purpose. Dividends paid by us will not qualify for the 15% U.S.
federal income tax rate, however, if we are treated, for the tax year in which the
dividends are paid or the preceding tax year, as a passive foreign investment
company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See the discussion below under the
heading   Passive Foreign Investment Company Status.

46

---

---

A dividend paid by us in NIS will be
included in the income of U.S. Holders at the U.S. dollar amount of the dividend, based on
the spot rate of exchange in effect on the date of receipt or deemed receipt
of the distribution, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S.
dollars. U.S. Holders will have a tax basis in the NIS for U.S. federal income tax
purposes equal to that U.S. dollar value. Any gain or loss upon the subsequent conversion
of the NIS into U.S. dollars or other disposition of the NIS will constitute foreign
currency gain or loss taxable as ordinary income or loss and will be treated as
U.S.-source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Dividends received with respect to
our ordinary shares will constitute portfolio income for purposes of the
limitation on the use of passive activity losses and, therefore, generally may not be
offset by passive activity losses. Dividends received with respect to our ordinary shares
also generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of the
investment interest deduction limitation contained in Section 163(d) of the Code, and as
foreign-source passive income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes or, in the case of a
U.S. Holder that is a financial services entity, financial services income. Subject to
certain limitations, U.S. Holders may elect to claim as a foreign tax credit against their
U.S. federal income tax liability any Israeli income tax withheld from distributions on
our ordinary shares which constitute dividends under U.S. income tax law. U.S. Holders
that do not elect to claim a foreign tax credit may instead claim a deduction for Israeli
income tax withheld, but only if the U.S. Holder elects to do so with respect to all
foreign income taxes in such year. In addition, special rules may apply to the computation
of foreign tax credits relating to qualified dividend income, as defined
above. The calculation of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a U.S. Holder that
elects to deduct foreign income taxes, the availability of deductions are complex and
involve the application of rules that depend on a U.S. Holders particular
circumstances. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of their receipt of any distributions with respect to our
ordinary shares.

Passive Foreign
Investment Company Status

Generally, a foreign corporation is
treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes for any tax year if, in such tax year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross
income (including its pro rata share of the gross income of any company in which it owns
25% or more of the shares by value) is passive in nature (the Income Test), or
(ii) the average percentage of its assets during such tax year (including its pro rata
share of the assets of any company in which it owns 25% or more of the shares by value)
which produce, or are held for the production of, passive income (determined by averaging
the percentage of the fair market value of its total assets which are passive assets as of
the end of each quarter of such year) is 50% or more (the Asset Test). Passive
income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties and gains
from securities and commodities transactions.

47

---

---

There is no definitive method
prescribed in the Code, U.S. Treasury Regulations or administrative or judicial
interpretations thereof for determining the value of a foreign corporations assets
for purposes of the Asset Test. The legislative history of the U.S. Taxpayer Relief Act of
1997, or the 1997 Act, however, indicates that for purposes of the Asset Test, the
total value of a publicly-traded foreign corporations assets generally will be
treated as equal to the sum of the aggregate value of its outstanding stock plus its
liabilities. It is unclear under current interpretations of the 1997 Act whether
other valuation methods could be employed to determine the value of our assets.

Based on the composition of our gross
income and the composition and value of our gross assets since 2003, we believe that we
are likely to be treated as having been a PFIC in each year since 2003. There also can be
no assurance that we will not be deemed a PFIC in any future tax year.

U.S.
          Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors for guidance as to the
          consequences of our status as a PFIC in any tax year. For those U.S. Holders who
          determine that we are a PFIC in any tax year and notify us in writing of their
          request for the information required in order to effectuate the QEF Election
          described below, we will promptly make such information available to them.

For each year during a U.S.
Holders holding period of ordinary shares in which we are treated as a PFIC for U.S.
federal income tax purposes and such U.S. Holder does not make a QEF Election or a
mark-to-market  election (both as described below):

| |  | Excess
distributions by us to such U.S. Holder would be taxed in a special way. Excess
distributions with respect to any U.S. Holder are amounts received by such U.S.
Holder with respect to our ordinary shares in any tax year that exceed 125% of the
average distributions received by such U.S. Holder from us during the shorter of (i) the
three previous years, or (ii) such U.S. Holders holding period of our ordinary
shares before the then-current tax year. Excess distributions must be allocated ratably
to each day that a U.S. Holder has held our ordinary shares. A U.S. Holder must include
amounts allocated to the current tax year in his, her or its gross income as ordinary
income for that year, pay tax on amounts allocated to each prior tax year in which we
were a PFIC at the highest rate on ordinary income in effect for such prior year and pay
an interest charge on the resulting tax at the rate applicable to deficiencies of U.S.
federal income tax.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | The
entire amount of any gain realized by such U.S. Holder upon the sale or other disposition
of our ordinary shares also would be treated as an excess distribution subject
to tax as described above.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | The
tax basis in ordinary shares acquired from a decedent who was a U.S. Holder would not
receive a step-up to fair market value as of the date of the decedents death, but
instead would be equal to the decedents basis, if lower.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although we generally will be treated
as a PFIC as to any U.S. Holder if we are a PFIC for any year during the U.S.
Holders holding period, if we cease to be a PFIC, the U.S. Holder may avoid the
consequences of PFIC classification for subsequent years if he, she or it elects to
recognize gain based on the unrealized appreciation in his, her or its ordinary shares
through the close of the tax year in which we cease to be a PFIC.

48

---

---

A U.S. Holder who beneficially owns
shares of a PFIC must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 (Return by a
Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund) with the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service for each tax year in which he, she or it holds shares in a
PFIC. This form describes any distributions received with respect to these shares and any
gain realized upon the disposition of these shares.

For any year in which we are treated
as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may elect to treat his, her or its ordinary shares as an interest
in a qualified electing fund, known as a QEF Election, in which case the U.S. Holder would
be required to include in income currently his, her or its proportionate share of our
earnings and profits in years in which we are a PFIC regardless of whether distributions
of our earnings and profits are actually made to the U.S. Holder. Any gain subsequently
recognized by the U.S. Holder upon the sale of his, her or its ordinary shares, however,
generally would be taxed as capital gain and the denial of the basis step-up at death
described above would not apply.

A U.S. Holder may make a QEF Election
with respect to a PFIC for any tax year of the U.S. Holder. A QEF Election is effective
for the tax year in which the election is made and all subsequent tax years of the U.S.
Holder. Procedures exist for both retroactive elections and the filing of protective
statements. A U.S. Holder making the QEF Election must make the election on or before the
due date, as extended, for the filing of the U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax
return for the first tax year to which the election will apply. Upon his, her or its
request, we will provide to each U.S. Holder, who wishes to make a QEF Election for any
year in which we are treated as a PFIC, the information required to make a QEF Election
and to make subsequent annual filings.

As an alternative to a QEF Election,
a U.S. Holder generally may elect to mark his, her or its ordinary shares to market
annually, recognizing ordinary income or loss (subject to certain limitations) equal to
the difference, as of the close of the tax year, between the fair market value of his, her
or its ordinary shares and the adjusted tax basis of such shares. If a mark-to-market
election with respect to ordinary shares is in effect on the date of a U.S. Holders
death, the normally available step-up in tax basis to fair market value will not be
available. Rather, the tax basis of the ordinary shares in the hands of a U.S. Holder who
acquires them from a decedent will be the lesser of the decedents tax basis or the
fair market value of the ordinary shares. Once made, a mark-to-market election generally
continues unless revoked with the consent of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

The implementation of many aspects of
the Codes PFIC rules requires the issuance of Treasury Regulations which in many
instances have yet to be promulgated and which may have retroactive effect when
promulgated. We cannot be sure that any of these regulations will be promulgated or, if
so, what form they will take or what effect they will have on the foregoing discussion.
Accordingly, and due to the complexity of the PFIC rules, U.S. Holders should consult
their own tax advisors regarding our status as a PFIC and the eligibility, manner and
advisability of making a QEF Election or a mark-to-market election if we are treated as a
PFIC.

Information Reporting and
Backup Withholding

Payments in respect of our ordinary
shares that are made in the United States or by certain U.S.-related financial
intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax at rates
equal to 28% through 2010 and 31% after 2010 (unless legislation is enacted that provides
otherwise). Information reporting will not apply, however, with respect to payments to
certain U.S. Holders, including corporations and tax-exempt organizations. In addition,
backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder that (i) is a corporation or comes
within certain exempt categories, and demonstrates that fact when so required, or (ii)
furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and furnishes other required
certifications. U.S. Holders required to establish their exemption from backup withholding
generally must provide a certification on IRS Form W-9 (or substitute form). Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules
may be credited against a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability, and a U.S.
Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding
rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their qualification for an
exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption, if
applicable.

# Israeli Tax
Considerations

The following is a summary of the
principal tax laws applicable to companies in Israel, with special reference to their
effect on us. This section also contains a discussion of certain Israeli tax consequences
to persons holding ordinary shares. This summary does not discuss all the acts of Israeli
tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal
investment circumstances or to certain types of investors subject to special treatment
under Israeli law, such as traders in securities or persons that own, directly or
indirectly, 10% or more of our outstanding voting share capital. To the extent that the
discussion is based on new tax legislation which has not been subject to judicial or
administrative interpretation, there can be no assurance that the views expressed in this
discussion will be accepted by the tax authorities or the courts. The discussion should
not be construed as legal or professional tax advice and is not exhaustive of all possible
tax considerations.

Potential investors are urged to
consult their own tax advisors as to the Israeli or other tax consequences of the
purchase, ownership and disposition of ordinary shares, including, in particular, the
effect of any foreign, state or local taxes.

General Corporate Tax
Structure

Generally, Israeli companies are
subject to Corporate Tax on taxable income at the rate of 27% for the 2008 tax year and
26% for the 2009 tax year. Following an amendment to the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New
Version], 1961, or the Tax Ordinance, which came into effect on January 1, 2006, the
corporate tax rate is scheduled to decrease to 25% for the 2010 tax year and thereafter.
Israeli companies are generally subject to capital gains tax at a rate of 25% for capital
gains (other than gains deriving from the sale of listed securities) derived after January
1, 2003.

Capital Gains Tax on
Sales of Our Ordinary Shares

Israeli law generally imposes a
capital gains tax on the sale of any capital assets by residents of Israel, as defined for
Israeli tax purposes, and on the sale of any capital assets located in Israel, including
shares in Israeli companies by non-residents of Israel, unless a specific exemption is
available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholders country of
residence provides otherwise. The law distinguishes between real gain and inflationary
surplus. The inflationary surplus is a portion of the total capital gain that is
equivalent to the increase of the relevant assets purchase price that is
attributable to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index, or in certain
circumstances, a foreign currency exchange rate, between the date of purchase and the date
of sale. The real gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the inflationary
surplus.

50

---

---

Provisions of Israeli tax law may
treat a sale of securities listed on a stock exchange differently than the sale of other
securities. In the past, the Israeli Tax Authority, or the ITA, has indicated that it does
not recognize the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets as a stock exchange
for purposes of the Tax Ordinance. However, the current position of the ITA is to view
securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets as listed on a stock
exchange where such securities were previously delisted from a stock
exchange (such as the Nasdaq Global Market or the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange), such as
our ordinary shares.

The tax rate generally applicable to
capital gains derived from the sale of shares, whether listed on a stock market or not, is
20% for Israeli individuals, unless such shareholder claims a deduction for financing
expenses in connection with such shares, in which case the gain will generally be taxed at
a rate of 25%. Additionally, if such shareholder is considered a significant
shareholder at any time during the 12-month period preceding such sale (i.e., such
shareholder holds directly or indirectly, including jointly with others, at least 10% of
any means of control in the company) the tax rate will be 25%. Israeli companies are
subject to the corporate tax rate on capital gains derived from the sale of listed shares,
unless such companies were not subject to the Inflationary Adjustments Law (or certain
regulations) as of August 10, 2005, in which case the applicable tax rate is 25%. However,
the different tax rates may not apply to dealers in securities and shareholders who
acquired their shares prior to an initial public offering.

The tax basis of shares acquired
prior to January 1, 2003 will be determined in accordance with the average closing share
price in the three trading days preceding January 1, 2003. However, a request may be made
to the tax authorities to consider the actual adjusted cost of the shares as the tax basis
if it is higher than such average price.

Non-Israeli residents are exempt from
Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of shares of Israeli
companies publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange outside of Israel, provided that
such capital gains are not derived from a permanent establishment in Israel, that such
shareholders are not subject to the Inflationary Adjustments Law and that such
shareholders did not acquire their shares prior to the issuers initial public
offering. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such exemption if
Israeli residents (i) have a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli
corporation, or (ii) are the beneficiaries of or are entitled to 25% or more of the
revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.

In some instances where our
shareholders may be liable to Israeli tax on the sale of their ordinary shares, the
payment of the consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at the
source.

Pursuant to the Convention between
the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Israel with Respect
to Taxes on income, as amended, known as the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or
disposition of ordinary shares by a person who holds the ordinary shares as a capital
asset and who qualifies as a resident of the United States within the meaning of the
treaty and who is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to a resident by the treaty
generally will not be subject to Israeli capital gains tax. This exemption does not apply
if: (i) the treaty U.S. resident holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or
more of our issued voting power during any part of the twelve-month period preceding the
applicable sale, exchange or disposition, subject to specific conditions, or (ii) the
capital gains from such sale, exchange or disposition can be allocated to a permanent
establishment in Israel. In these cases, the sale, exchange or disposition would be
subject to Israel tax, to the extent applicable, as mentioned above. However, under the
U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the treaty U.S. resident would be permitted to claim a credit for
the capital gains tax paid in Israel against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with
respect to the applicable sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in
U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. The U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty does not relate to
U.S. state or local taxes.

Tax on Dividends to
Non-Israeli Resident Shareholders

Non-residents of Israel are subject
to income tax on income accrued or derived from sources in Israel. These sources of income
include passive income such as dividends. On distributions of dividends other than bonus
shares, or stock dividends, income tax is generally applicable at the rate of 20%,
or 25% for a shareholder that is considered a significant shareholder at any time during
the 12-month period preceding such distribution. A different rate may be provided in a
treaty between Israel and the shareholders country of residence. Under the
U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum tax on dividends paid to a holder of ordinary shares
who is a U.S. resident (as defined in the treaty) is 25%, and in certain circumstances if
such shareholder is a U.S. corporation holding at least 10% of our issued voting power
during the part of the tax year which precedes the date of payment of the dividend as well
as the previous tax year, and not more than 25% of our gross income consists of interest
or dividends, the maximum Israeli tax on dividends paid to such corporation is 12.5%.

A non-resident of Israel who receives
interest or dividend income derived from or accrued in Israel, from which tax was withheld
at the source, is generally exempted from the duty to file tax returns in Israel with
respect to such income, provided such income was not derived from a business conducted in
Israel by the taxpayer and the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel.

Israel presently has no estate or
gift tax.

We are subject to the informational
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable to foreign
private issuers and fulfill the obligations with respect to such requirements by filing
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may read and copy any document we
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission without charge at the Securities and
Exchange Commissions public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.
20549. Copies of such material may be obtained by mail from the Public Reference Branch of
the Securities and Exchange Commission at such address, at prescribed rates. The SEC also

As a foreign private issuer, we are
exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of
proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from
the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section
16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file
periodic reports and financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under
the Exchange Act.

|-------- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

# General

We are exposed to market risk,
including movements in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our financial
results may be negatively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations because we generate
most of our financial income in U.S. dollars but incur some of our expenses in new Israeli
shekels. Because our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, our results of
operations may be impacted by fluctuations in the rates of exchange between the U.S.
dollar and new Israeli shekels as our financial results are converted into U.S. dollars.

We do not presently engage in any
hedging or other transactions intended to manage risks relating to foreign currency
exchange rate or interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2008, we did not own any
market risk sensitive instruments. However, we may in the future undertake hedging or
other similar transactions or invest in market risk sensitive instruments if our
management determines that it is necessary to offset these risks.

# Managements Annual
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as
such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system
was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and our board of directors
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation
of published financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed,
have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may decline.

Our management conducted an
evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(c) under the Exchange Act, of the effectiveness, as of
the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on the results of this evaluation, management assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2008 and concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008. This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting
firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this Annual
Report.

# Changes in Financial
Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during 2008 that have materially affected, or that
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

|ITEM 16A. |  | Audit Committee Financial Expert
|--------- |  | --------------------------------

Our board of directors has determined
that Mr. Yiftach Atir qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as
defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F and is independent as defined in the
applicable regulations.

|ITEM 16B. |  | Code of Ethics
|--------- |  | --------------

Our board of directors has adopted a
Code of Ethics. We will provide a copy of our Code of Ethics free of charge to any person
who requests one. Such requests may be sent to our offices at 126 Yigal Allon Street, Tel
Aviv, Israel, Attention: Chief Executive Officer.

|ITEM 16C. |  | Principal Accountant Fees and Services
|--------- |  | --------------------------------------

For 2007 and 2008, our independent
accountant was Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global.
These accountants billed the following fees to us for professional services in each of the
last two fiscal years:

|                   | Year Ended December 31,
|------------------ | -----------------------
|
|
|
|
|Audit Fees         |                        
|Audit-Related Fees |                        
|Tax Fees           |                        
|All Other Fees     |                        
|Total              |                        

Audit Fees are the
aggregate fees billed for the audit of our annual financial statements. This category also
includes services that generally the independent accountant provides, consents and
assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

Audit-Related Fees are
the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related
to the performance of the audit and are not reported under Audit Fees. These fees include
mainly accounting consultations regarding the accounting treatment of matters that occur
in the regular course of business, implications of new accounting pronouncements and other
accounting issues that occur from time to time.

55

---

---

Tax Fees are the
aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice,
other than in connection with the audit. Tax compliance involves preparation of original
and amended tax returns, tax planning and tax advice.

Our Audit Committee has adopted a
pre-approval policy for the engagement of our independent accountant to perform certain
audit and non-audit services. Pursuant to this policy, which is designed to assure that
such engagements do not impair the independence of our auditors, the audit committee
pre-approves annually a catalog of specific audit and non-audit services in the categories
of Audit Service, Audit-Related Service, Tax Services and other services that may be
performed by our independent accountants and the maximum pre-approved fees that may be
paid as compensation for each pre-approved service in those categories. Any proposed
services exceeding the maximum pre-approved fees require specific approval by the Audit
Committee.

With respect to each pre-approved
service actually requested to be provided, an executive officer is required to notify the
Audit Committee in writing and state whether, in the executive officers view, the
provision of such service by the outside auditor would impair its independence.

The Audit Committee may delegate its
pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, subject to ratification by the
entire Audit Committee.

|ITEM 16D. |  | Exemptions from Listing Standards for Audit Committees
|--------- |  | ------------------------------------------------------

|ITEM 16E. |  | Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
|--------- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

# To the Board of
Directors and Shareholders of

# TIKCRO TECHNOLOGIES
LTD.

We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tikcro Technologies Ltd. (the
Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations,
changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the
results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

2008, all marketable securities covered by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS
No. 115), were classified as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these securities are
stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders equity. Realized
gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification
basis, are included in the statement of operations.

| | FASB
Staff Position (FSP) No. 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than- Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (FSP 115-1)
provides guidance for determining when an investment is considered impaired, whether
impairment is other-than-temporary, and measurement of an impairment loss. An investment
is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. The
Company considers various factors to determine whether to recognize an impairment charge,
including the Companys intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of
time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value, the length of time
and extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit ratings
of the securities and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers. If,
after consideration of all available evidence to evaluate the realizable value of its
marketable securities, impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an
impairment loss should be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the
marketable securities carrying amount and its fair value. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, the Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment loss.

the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are
determined based on 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. The Company provides a valuation allowance,
if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

| | In
June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN
48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in
an enterprises financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attributes of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax
return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be
taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the
largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant
taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the
financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. The Company
adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not
have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

| | g. | Accounting
for stock-based compensation:
| | -- | ----------------------------------------

| | SFAS
123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on
the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award
that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service
periods in the Companys statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS
123(R), the Company accounted for equity-based awards to employees and directors using
the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS
123).
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which
requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first
day of the Companys fiscal year 2006. Under that transition method, compensation
cost recognized subsequent to January 1, 2006, includes: (a) compensation cost for all
share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on
the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of
Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent
to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). As required by the modified prospective method results for
prior periods have not been restated.

| | The
Company recognized compensation expenses for the value of these awards, which have graded
vesting, based on the straight-line method, over the requisite service period of each of
the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures are based on actual
historical pre-vesting forfeitures.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton
option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which
the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, and the expected option term.
Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements
over the most recent periods ending at the date of grant, based on the expected option
term (disregarding the term before the Company started operating in its current mode).
The expected option term represents the period that the Companys stock options are
expected to be outstanding and was determined based on the simplified method, which is
the average of the vesting terms and original contractual terms of the stock options. The
Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue
dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term to the expected life.

| | The
fair value for the options granted in 2006 was estimated at the date of grant with the
following weighted average assumptions:

| | h. | Fair
value of financial instruments:
| | -- | ------------------------------------

| | The
following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value
disclosures for financial instruments:
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets and liabilities
approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
fair value for marketable securities is based on quoted market price (see Note 3).
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements(SFAS
No. 157) and, effective October 10, 2008, adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP)
No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That
Asset Is Not Active (FSP 157-3), except as it applies to the
nonfinancial assets and liabilities subject to FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP 157-2). SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair
value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As
such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

# NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

| | As
a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier value
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring
fair value:
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Level
1  Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets
or liabilities in active markets.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Level
2  Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or
for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Level
3  Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and
significant to the overall fair value measurement.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. See also Note 4.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | i. | Basic
and diluted net earnings (loss) per share:
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------

| | Basic
net earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share are
computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each
year, plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings per
Share (SFAS No. 128).
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
total number of shares excluded from the calculation of the diluted net earnings (loss)
per share, because they had anti-dilutive effect, for the years ended December 31, 2006,
2007 and 2008, were 66,667, 66,667 and 592,624, respectively.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | j. | Concentrations
of credit risks:
| | -- | -------------------------------

| | Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash and cash equivalents, and available-for-sale marketable debt
securities.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Cash
and cash equivalents are invested in major banks in Israel and the U.S., mainly in U.S.
dollars. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are
not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions
that hold the Companys investments are financially sound and, accordingly, low
credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Companys marketable securities include investments in corporate investment grade
debentures. Management believes that those investments are financially sound and
accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these marketable securities.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange
contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-6, Equity Method
               Investment Accounting Considerations (EITF 08-6). EITF
08-6                clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment

effective for fiscal years                beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal                years. Earlier application by an entity that
has previously adopted an                alternative accounting policy is not permitted.
The adoption of EITF 08-6 is not                expected to have a material impact on the
Companys financial statements.

Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4
provides additional authoritative guidance to assist both issuers and users of financial
statements in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a
transaction is distressed. The FSP will be effective for the Company for the quarter
ending June 30, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 157-4 to have a
material impact on its financial statements.

| | 4. | In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (the FSP). The FSP is
intended to provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit component
of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to more effectively communicate when an
other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. The FSP applies to fixed maturity
securities only and requires separate display of losses related to credit deterioration
and losses related to other market factors. When an entity does not intend to sell the
security and it is more likely than not that an entity will not have to sell the security
before recovery of its cost basis, it must recognize the credit component of an
other-than-temporary impairment in earnings and the remaining portion in other
comprehensive income. upon adoption of the FSP, an entity will be required to record a
cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify
the noncredit component of a previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment from
retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. The FSP will be effective for
the Company for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption
of the FSP to have a material impact on its financial statements.

which is comprised from investments in Ordinary shares, convertible loans and warrants
(see also Note 5) at fair value. Investment in Ordinary shares and in marketable
securities are classified within Level 1, since these assets are valued using quoted
market price in an active market. Convertible loan and warrants are classified within
Level 3 because they are valued using valuation techniques. Some of the inputs to these
models are unobservable in the market and are significant.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company values the Level 3 investments (namely long-term investment in Biocancell
convertible loan and warrants) based on a valuation using an independent valuation firm.
The valuation uses a standard Black-Scholes based model for evaluating derivatives,
combined with other market-based analysis. The main variables for the valuations are:
average returns of notes of similar traded firms, historical variance of the
investees stock price, applicable currency exchange rates, and risk free interest
rates. Unobservable inputs used in these models are significant to the fair value of the
investments. Key assumptions in determining the estimated fair value of the convertible
loan and warrants include (a) the Israeli and US risk free interest rate of 4.8% and 1.5%,
respectively and (b) a volatility of 52%.

Common stock is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. As part of the agreement, the
Company provided funding to BioCancell, is entitled to appoint one member to
BioCancells board of directors and provides BioCancell with certain consulting
services. It was also agreed between Tikcro and two major shareholders of BioCancell, who
hold together with Tikcro over 50% of the shares of BioCancell, to vote for one member of
the board for each of these 3 shareholders. However, no restrictions were made on the vote
for other members of the board.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a warrant to purchase from BioCancell up to 4,301,906 shares of Common stock at a price
per share in NIS equal to $ 0.716. Immediately after the investment closing, Tikcros
voting stock interest in BioCancell, based on its then outstanding Common stock,
represented approximately 5.8% (27.3% on a fully diluted basis)..
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In
addition, Tikcro is entitled to a full ratchet anti-dilution protection in
cases Biocancell issues additional securities, under terms stipulated in the agreement.

Company has a representative on BioCancells board of directors. In addition, as
part of the investment agreement, the board of directors of BioCancell has designated an
executive committee comprised of 4 members of the board of directors including one Tikcro
representative (the executive committee). The approval of the executive
committee will be required for the consummation of material transaction of BioCancell,
adoption of BioCancells budget, decisions relating to investment policy and a
working plan.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 4. | The Company granted during 2008 a total of 459,291 restricted shares under the
          plan. Restricted shares are subject to a repurchase right by the Company on
          certain occasions. Under the repurchase right, the Company may reacquire a
          pro-rata portion of the granted shares, for no consideration, if certain
          conditions occur including the employees end of service with the Company.
          As of December 31, 2008, 221,624 shares were no longer subject to a repurchase
          by the Company. According to SFAS123(R), the total fair value of the shares
          granted, after the modification described below, was $ 352 while the amount of $
          233 was recorded in 2008 as stock based compensation expenses. As of December
          31, 2008, there was $119 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
          share-based compensation arrangement granted under the plan. That cost is
          expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 7 years.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | During
2008, the Company extended the vesting schedule of certain restricted shares.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | According
to SFAS 123(R), the change was treated as a cancellation of the original shares and a
grant of a new award. Accordingly, in the financial statements ended December 31, 2008,
the Company reversed the remaining compensation cost and the full fair value of the new
award on the modification date in the amount of $ 134 is recognized over the remaining
vesting period.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | c. | On
August 17, 2006, the annual shareholders meeting approved a grant to two
          directors of options to purchase up to 33,333 Ordinary shares each at an
          exercise price per share equal to the average closing price of the Ordinary
          shares over the three trading days immediately preceding the date of the
          meeting. The options vest over a period of three years, one-third each year,
          commencing on the first day of the upcoming term of the option holder. The
          weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year 2006
          was $0.17. The total fair value of the options granted was $ 34 while an amount
          of $9, $ 11 and $ 11 was recorded in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, as
stock           based compensation expenses. As of December 31, 2008, there was $10
total           unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based
compensation           arrangements granted under the Companys option plan. That
cost is expected           to be recognized over the coming year.

| | d. | Shareholder
bonus rights plan
| | -- | -----------------------------

| | On
September 12, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Bonus
Rights Plan (the Rights Plan) pursuant to which share purchase bonus rights
(the Right) were distributed on September 26, 2005, at the rate of one Right
for each of the Companys Ordinary shares held by shareholders of record as of the
close of business on that date.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Rights Plan is intended to help ensure that all of the Companys shareholders are
able to realize the long-term value of their investment in the Company in the event of a
potential takeover which does not reflect the full value of the Company and is otherwise
not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Rights Plan is also
intended to deter unfair or coercive takeover tactics.

February 2008, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) passed an amendment to the
Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985, which limits the scope of the law
starting 2008 and thereafter. Starting 2008, the results for tax purposes will be
measured in nominal values, excluding certain adjustments for changes in the Consumer
Price Index carried out in the period up to December 31, 2007. The amended law includes,
inter alia, the elimination of the inflationary additions and deductions and the
additional deduction for depreciation starting 2008.

| | Capital
gains/losses:
| | ---------------------

| | Pursuant
to the provisions of the Law for Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 132),
2003 (the reform law), tax at a reduced rate of 25% will apply on capital
gains accrued after January 1, 2003, instead of the regular tax rate. In case of the sale
of properties purchased before the adoption of the reform law, the reduced tax rate will
apply only to the portion of the profit which accrued after the adoption of the law, as
computed according to the law. Further, the reform law states that capital losses carried
forward for tax purposes may be offset against capital gains indefinitely. The reform law
also provides for the possibility to offset capital losses from sales of properties
outside Israel against capital gains in Israel.

# NOTE 8:- TAXES ON INCOME
(Cont.)

| | b. | Tax
rates applicable to the income of the Company:
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------

| | On
July 25, 2005, the Israeli Parliament passed the Law for the Amendment of the Income Tax
Ordinance (No.147 and Temporary Order), 2005 (the Amendment).
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Inter
alia, the Amendment provides for a gradual reduction in the statutory corporate tax rate
in the following manner: 2007  29%, 2008  27%, 2009  26% and 2010 and
thereafter  25%. Furthermore, from 2010, upon reduction of the corporate tax rate
to 25%, real capital gains will be subject to tax of 25%.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Significant
components of the Companys deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows:
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |                                                  | December 31,
| | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------
|
|
|
|
| | Deferred tax assets:                             |             
| | Net operating loss and capital loss carryforward |             
| | Valuation allowance                              |             
| |                                                  |             
| |                                                  |             
| | Net deferred tax asset                           |             
| |                                                  |             

| | Management
currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than
not that the deferred tax assets regarding the loss carryforward and other temporary
differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | c. | Net
operating losses carryforward:
| | -- | ----------------------------------

| | The
Company has accumulated operating losses for tax purposes as of December 31, 2008,
in the amount of approximately $ 29,009 (denominated in NIS), which may be carried
forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company has accumulated capital losses of approximately $ 118,565 (denominated in
NIS), which may be carried forward and offset against capital gains.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | d. | The
main reconciling item from the statutory tax rate of the Company to the
          effective tax rate is the offset of operating income with carryforward losses.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | e. | Tax
assessments for the tax years up to and including 2003 are considered as           final
subject to the powers vested with the director of the tax authority           pursuant to
sections 145,147 and 152 of the income tax ordinance.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | f. | The
Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Prior to 2007,           the
Company used the provisions of SFAS 5 to determine tax contingencies. As of
          January 1, 2007, there was no difference between the provision under FIN 48,
          therefore there was no effect on the Companys shareholders equity upon
the           Companys adoption of FIN 48.

# NOTE 12:- SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS

| | In June 2009, one of the
Companys shareholders holding 1,198,755 shares representing approximately 14% of
outstanding shares filed a complaint in the District Court of Tel Aviv against the Company
and certain of its present directors and a former officer requesting, among other things,
an order that the Company call a meeting of shareholders to vote on (i) a proposal to
amend the Companys articles of association to grant to its shareholders the power,
normally conferred upon the board of directors, to determine plans of action for the
Company and (ii) if such proposal is approved by the Companys shareholders, to
approve a distribution of substantially all of Companys cash and all of its
securities in BioCancell. The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and
intends to defend against it vigorously.
