The rest of the terms in this report shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the 20-F Annual Report, unless stated explicitly otherwise.

In accordance with reporting requirements in Israel, Elron filed an annual report for 2015 in Hebrew with the Israeli Securities Authority ("ISA Annual Report"), simultaneously with its 20-F Annual Report. For the convenience of the Company's U.S. based shareholders, in translating Part I of this report from Hebrew to English, changes and updates are given in reference to the 20-F Annual Report, rather than the ISA Annual Report filed in Hebrew.

The matters described below are in addition to the developments and changes that occurred in the first quarter of 2016 that were previously described in the 20-F Annual Report.
