Overview
Marimedia is pleased to report its full year results with an increase in revenues of 46% to $63.1 million compared with $43.3 million in 2013. This growth was primarily due to the Company developing and leveraging its proprietary technology and device-agnostic solutions to increase the number of business partners - publishers and advertisers - enabling maximum revenue and return on investment.
Marimedia was admitted to AIM on 28 May 2014, having raised $30 million before costs and expenses for the Company.
Operational Review
During the period, the Board of Directors of Marimedia undertook a number of actions to facilitate the future growth of the business. Firstly, in line with the stated strategy of investing in technology to further develop its real time bidding and mobile market capabilities, the number of key personnel in technology functions was increased.

ARPU is a standard KPI in the software industry and allows the Company to measure each employee (or unit) on a standalone P&L basis. When a company takes on new employees, ARPU tends to decrease due to lead time in getting new employees trained and settled in business. In 2014, the Company increased the number of its employees significantly by 57% to 110 employees (2013: 70).
Admission to AIM
Marimedia was admitted to AIM and dealings in its ordinary shares commenced on 28 May 2014. The Company successfully placed $50 million (£29.8 million) before costs and expenses via the placing of 11,672,001 new ordinary shares and 7,780,224 existing ordinary shares at a price of 153 pence per share. The Board believes the listing has enhanced, and will continue to enhance, the Company's profile and visibility with customers and partners, particularly in its key growth markets.
The placing proceeds enable the Company to accelerate its growth strategy by increasing investment in technology to further develop its real-time bidding and mobile market capabilities, and seek access to new customers and markets through targeted acquisitions.
Successful Execution of Strategy
At the time of the Admission to AIM, the Company stated that its growth strategy was based on organic growth, increased utilisation of technology, developing a strong proposition for the mobile market and targeted acquisitions that would complement existing technology and enable better exploitation of the platform. 2014 was a year of strong growth as the Company successfully executed its strategy. For the first three quarters of the year, the main focus was on signing direct publishers as clients. The Company's expanded technology offering enabled it to increase the number of publisher and advertiser customers. Revenues from direct publishers grew 59% in 2014 over 2013.
The Company continued to invest in its technology and make it scalable, which enabled Marimedia to take advantage of the growth and diversification in the online media market, especially in the areas of video (both in display and mobile) and mobile - across all devices and platforms.
In late September 2014, the Company exercised its option to purchase the entire issued share capital of Taptica. Taptica, a privately held Israeli company, was an affiliate of Marimedia that specialises in mobile advertising and purchased advertising space from Marimedia. Taptica is a mobile user acquisition platform for brands and publishers/app developers that replaces the "cookie" functionality and allows its customers to target and retarget valuable mobile users.
Taptica's technology utilises artificial intelligence and machine learning on a big data scale in order to enable data-driven mobile targeting/retargeting, data and user acquisition. This enables its customers to find more valuable users for their advertising campaigns in order to create a better return on investment for the advertisers. Taptica works directly with advertisers and publishers/app developers and its technology is enabled to operate on both iOS and Android devices. Taptica has a database that currently has approximately 200 million user profiles, with more than 100 data points available on each user, and receives more than 15 billion requests daily.
R&D
During 2014, Marimedia invested significantly in the development of its proprietary technology. In particular, the Company commenced developing a publisher-focused SSP (Supply Side Platform) for mobile and video, which is on schedule to be launched during H1 2015. The SSP will enable publishers to sell their advertising inventory via an auction mechanism in real time (via real time bidding), thereby enabling the publisher to auction a greater number of impressions at a higher price.
The Company's SSP will fully integrate with Taptica's DSP (Demand Supply Platform) for advertisers, which leverages Taptica's growing database of user profiles for the accurate targeting/retargeting of users. This will be enhanced by the creation of a cross platform/device single ad tag - which is the code that tells the browser how to display the ad (or other content) that they get from a URL request - that will be utilised for all of the Company's publishers, advertisers and app developers, and for all devices, which will enable the user's interaction with all online advertising to be tracked. As a result, the Company's technology will be able to target the user irrespective of the media or device - thereby increasing the efficiency of the advertising campaign and improving the offering to publishers. This cross platform/device single ad tag is due to be launched in Q2 2015.
To further leverage Taptica's big data capabilities, in Q1 2015, the Company launched a data analytics tool that delivers advanced insights into mobile user behaviour and demographics for precise mobile ad campaign targeting for the benefit of advertisers. Unlike current solutions on the market, the Company's highly customisable analytics tool provides agencies, brands and app developers with an array of anonymised user behaviour data, including impressions, clicks, conversions, purchases and money spent, with key performance indicators being determined by the customer. When this behaviour data is combined with detailed demographic data - such as location, age, gender and operating system -advertising spend can be refined according to the customer's target, leading to higher user retention and increased return on investment.
With the full integration of the Company's SSP and DSP, expected to be launched at the beginning of H2 2015, Marimedia will be able to offer a single platform encompassing all sides of the adtech ecosystem. With the ongoing growth in the Company's database through continuous data acquisition, Marimedia's technology will use machine learning and analytics, on a big data scale, to enhance efficiency and provide maximum return on investment for customers. As a result, the Company will be able to increase the quality of its offer and thereby increasingly target Tier 1 customers based on a single, integrated Data Management Platform.
Financial Review
Revenues for the full year ended 31 December 2014 increased by approximately 46% to $63.1 million compared with $43.3 million for the equivalent period in 2013.
Cost of sales consists primarily of traffic acquisition costs that are directly attributable to revenue generated by the Company. These amounts are primarily based on the revenue share arrangements with audience and content partners. The increase in sales & marketing expenses was primarily based on the growth in revenue and corresponding increase in salaries.
Blended gross margin was 30.2%. Display gross margin was 31.4%; mobile gross margin was 24.5%; video on display gross margin was 24.1% and non-video display activity gross margin was 31.9% (2013: 32.6% - display only).
The Company increased investment in technology with R&D expenses growing by 152% to $2.0 million (2013: $0.7 million).
Adjusted EBITDA for the full year ended 31 December 2014 increased by approximately 19% to $10.5 million compared with $8.8 million for the equivalent period in 2013 as follows:

Financing expenses consists mainly of expenses due to exchange rate fluctuations and interest charges on Taptica's loans to its former shareholders.
The Company continued to maintain a strong cash flow with net cash provided by operating activities increasing by 19% to $8.6 million (2013: $7.2 million). Net cash receipts pursuant to the AIM Admission totalled $27.3 million with $10.4 million cash paid to satisfy the acquisition of Taptica (including $3.9 million in repayments on Taptica's loans to its former shareholders). Total dividend payments in the year were $3.1 million.
As at 31 December 2014, cash and cash equivalents were $24.7 million compared with $3.2 million at 31 December 2013.
Dividend
The Board has resolved to declare a final dividend, equating to a total dividend pay-out of $1.5 million or 25% of net profit for the year ended 31 December 2014, of $0.023. per share, with an ex-dividend date of 16 April 2015, a record date of 17 April 2015 and a payment date of 17 June 2015.
Outlook
The Company entered 2015 with a continued focus on the development of its proprietary technology and with more diversified revenue streams compared with previous years, which reflects the transition in demand in response to the shift in user focus. Prior to the end of Q3 2014, the Company generated revenues primarily from display. Following the IPO the Company invested heavily in R&D to develop more of its own technology, primarily in mobile, a strategy which continued post the Taptica acquisition. Consequently, in 2015, the Company expects to increase total revenues, with sales from mobile being the main growth driver of the business.
The Company continues to invest in branding and expects to enhance Taptica's brand recognition in order to attract more Tier 1 customers and increase the proportion of sales from these clients. The Company also expects revenues from Western Europe and the U.S. to continue to be the primary contributors to revenues.
As a result, the Board remains confident of delivering significant revenue and profit growth for full year 2015 compared with the previous year.

Note 2 - Basis of Preparation
A. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on March 24, 2015
B. Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Company's functional currency, and have been rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated. The USD is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Company operates.
Note 2 - Basis of Preparation (cont'd)
C. Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities:
• Investments in money market funds;
• Deferred tax assets and liabilities;
• Liabilities for employee benefits.
• Intangible assets.
For further information regarding the measurement of these assets and liabilities see Note 3 regarding significant accounting policies.
D. Use of estimates and judgments
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management of the Group to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The preparation of accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Group's financial statements requires management of the Group to make assumptions regarding circumstances and events that involve considerable uncertainty. Management of the Group prepares estimates on the basis of past experience, various facts, external circumstances, and reasonable assumptions according to the pertinent circumstances of each estimate.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Determination of fair value
Preparation of the financial statements requires the Group to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. Further information about the assumptions that were used to determine fair value is included in the following notes:
• Note 13, on share-based payments;
• Note 14, on financial instruments; and
• Note 16, on subsidiaries (regarding business combinations).
When determining the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable market data as much as possible. There are three levels of fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy that are based on the data used in the measurement, as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly
• Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Use of judgments
Information about significant judgments (other than those involving estimates) made by the management while implementing Group accounting policies and which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in Note 6, on intangible assets, with respect to the accounting treatment of software development and impairment of goodwill, and Note 16, on subsidiaries, with respect to business combination.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
A. Basis of consolidation
(1) Business combinations
The Group implements the acquisition method to all business combinations. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control over the acquiree. Control exists when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the acquiree and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the acquiree. Substantive rights held by the Group and others are taken into account when assessing control.
The Group recognizes goodwill on acquisition according to the fair value of the consideration transferred including any amounts recognized in respect of rights that do not confer control in the acquiree as well as the fair value at the acquisition date of any pre-existing equity right of the Group in the acquiree, less the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
Goodwill is not adjusted in respect of the utilization of carry-forward tax losses that existed on the date of the business combination.
The consideration transferred includes the fair value of the assets transferred to the previous owners of the acquiree, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the previous owners of the acquiree and equity instruments that were issued by the Company.
Costs associated with the acquisitions that were incurred by the acquirer in the business combination such as: finder's fees, advisory, legal, valuation and other professional or consulting fees are expensed in the period the services are received.
(2) Subsidiaries
Subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. The financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commenced.
(3) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
B. Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated in to the functional currency at the exchange rate on that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate as of the end of the year.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
B. Foreign currency transactions (cont'd)
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
C. Financial instruments
(1) Non-derivative financial assets
Initial recognition of financial assets
The Group initially recognizes receivables and deposits on the date that they are created. All other financial assets acquired in the ordinary course of business purchase, including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, meaning on the date the Group undertook to purchase or sell the asset. Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments, inter alia, in money market funds, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the Group to the cash flows from an asset expire, or the Group transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on a financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.
Ordinary course of business sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, meaning on the date the Group undertook to sell an asset.
Classification of financial assets into categories and the accounting treatment of each category
The Group classifies its financial assets according to the following categories:
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group investment strategy. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
Receivables
Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances available for immediate use and demand deposits. Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments (with original maturities of three months or less) that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are exposed to insignificant risks of change in value.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
C. Financial instruments (cont'd)
(2) Non-derivative financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
Initial recognition of financial liabilities
The Group initially recognizes all financial liabilities on the trade date on which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value minus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation of the Group, as specified in the agreement, expires or when it is discharged or cancelled.
Offset of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(3) Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
D. Fixed assets
Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment at rates calculated to write each asset down to its residual value (assumed to be nil), using the straight line method, over its expected useful life as follows:
|
Years |
Computers and other technological equipment |
3 |
Office furniture and equipment |
6-17 |
Leasehold improvements |
Mainly 10 |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted if appropriate.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
E. Intangible assets (cont'd)
(1) Computer software development
Where in the opinion of the management, the Group's expenditure in relation to development of software results in future economic benefits, these costs are capitalized and amortized over the useful economic life of the asset.
Costs that are directly associated with the development of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognized as intangible assets when all the criteria in IAS 38 are met.
Development costs are capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefit will result from the project and the following criteria are met:
• the technical feasibility of the product has been ascertained;
• adequate technical, financial and other resources are available to complete and sell or use the intangible asset;
• the Group can demonstrate how the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset can be demonstrated;
• it is the intention of management to complete the intangible asset and use it or sell it; and
• the development costs can be measured reliably.
Where these criteria are not met development costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are three years.
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted if appropriate.
(2) Acquired computer software
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software licenses. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (3 years) using the straight line method. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred.
(3) Goodwill
Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented as part of intangible assets. For information on measurement of goodwill at initial recognition, see Paragraph A(1) of this note.
In subsequent periods goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. According to management's assessment as at 31 December 2014, of goodwill recognized in respect of acquisition of Taptica Ltd., no impairment was recognized in current year.
(4) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
E. Intangible assets (cont'd)
(5) Amortization
Amortization is a systematic allocation of the amortizable amount of an intangible asset over its useful life. The amortizable amount is the cost of the asset less its residual value.
Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets from the date they are available for use, since this method most closely reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in each asset. Goodwill is not systematically amortized but is tested for impairment at least once a year.
Internally generated intangible assets are not systematically amortized as long as they are not available for use, i.e. they are not yet on site or in working condition for their intended use. Accordingly, these intangible assets, such as development costs, are tested for impairment at least once a year, until such date as they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
- Trademarks 5 years
- Software (acquired and developed) 3 years
- Customer relationships 5 years
- Technology 5 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted if appropriate.
The Group examines the useful life of an intangible asset that is not periodically amortized at least once a year in order to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the decision that the intangible asset has an indefinite useful life.
F. Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which an asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).
Non-financial assets that were subject to impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment recognized in respect thereof at each statement of financial position date.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
G. Employee benefits
(1) Post-employment benefits
The Group has a number of post-employment benefit plans. The plans are usually financed by deposits with insurance companies or with funds managed by a trustee, and they are classified as defined contribution plans and as defined benefit plans.
(a) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.
(b) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset).
The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on high quality shekel denominated corporate debentures, that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest). Remeasurements are recognized immediately directly in retained earnings through other comprehensive income.
Interest costs on a defined benefit obligation and interest income on plan assets that were recognized in the statement of comprehensive income are presented under financing income and expenses, respectively.
When the benefits of a plan are improved or curtailed, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees or the gain or loss on curtailment are recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income when the plan improvement or curtailment occurs.
The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs. Such gains or losses comprise the difference between the portion of the present value of the defined benefit obligation that is settled on the date of settlement, and the settlement price, including transferred plan assets.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
G. Employee benefits (cont'd)
(2) Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided or upon the actual absence of the employee when the benefit is not accumulated (such as maternity leave).
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The employee benefits are classified, for measurement purposes, as short-term benefits or as other long-term benefits depending on when the Group expects the benefits to be wholly settled.
(3) Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as a salary expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that an employee becomes unconditionally entitled to an award. The amount recognized as an expense in respect of share-based payment awards that are conditional upon meeting service, is adjusted to reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest.
H. Revenue recognition
The Group earns its revenue from providing online advertising services. The Company's business is based on optimizing real time trading of digital advertising between buyers and sellers.
The revenue is comprised of different pricing schemes such as Cost per Mille (CPM) and performance based metrics that include Cost per Click (CPC) and Cost per Action (CPA) options.
Advertising revenue
When sales values are based on reach metrics, revenue is recognized by multiplying an agreed amount per impression with the volumes of these units delivered. When sales values are based on performance metrics, revenue is recognized by multiplying an agreed upon amount per click or action with the volumes of these units delivered.
I. Classification of expenses
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of traffic acquisition costs that are directly attributable to revenue generated by the Company. These amounts are primarily based on the revenue share arrangements with audience and content partners.
Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel responsible for the research and development of new and existing products and services. Where required, development expenditures are capitalised in accordance with the Company's standard internal capitalised development policy. All research costs are expensed when incurred.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
I. Classification of expenses (cont'd)
Selling and marketing
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel engaged in customer service, sales, and sales support functions, as well as advertising and promotional expenditures.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel and facilities, and include costs related to our facilities, finance, human resources, information technology, and legal organizations, and fees for professional services. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, and information technology consulting and outsourcing services that are not directly related to other operational expenses.
J. Financing income and expenses
Financing income comprises interest income on funds invested, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and foreign currency gains. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss also include income from interest.
Financing expenses comprise changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and foreign currency losses.
In the statements of cash flows, interest received is presented as part of cash flows from investing activities. Interest paid and dividends paid are presented as part of cash flows from financing activities.
Foreign currency gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities are reported on a net basis as either financing income or financing expenses depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
K. Income tax expense
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
Current taxes
Current tax is the expected tax payable (or receivable) on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for tax benefits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Offset of deferred tax assets and liabilities
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
L. Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.
M. Dividends
Dividend distribution to the Group's owners is recognized as a liability in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position on the date on which the dividends are approved by the Group's Board of Directors.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
N. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
IFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments
A final version of the standard, which includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, and a new model for measuring impairment of financial assets. In accordance with IFRS 9 (2014), there are three principal categories for measuring financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. The basis of classification for debt instruments is the entity's business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments will be measured at fair value through profit and loss (unless the entity elected at initial recognition to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income).
IFRS 9 (2014) requires that changes in fair value of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss that are attributable to changes in its credit risk, should usually be recognized in other comprehensive income.
IFRS 9 (2014) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption being permitted. It will be applied retrospectively with some exemptions.
The Group has not yet commenced examining the effects of adopting IFRS 9 (2014) on the financial statements.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 replaces the current guidance regarding recognition of revenues and presents a new model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 provides two approaches for recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model includes five steps for analyzing transactions so as to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. Furthermore, IFRS 15 provides new and more extensive disclosure requirements than those that exist under current guidance.
IFRS 15 is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and earlier application is permitted. IFRS 15 includes various alternative transitional provisions, so that companies can choose between one of the following alternatives at initial application: full retrospective application, full retrospective application with practical expedients, or application as from the mandatory effective date, with an adjustment to the balance of retained earnings at that date in respect of transactions that are not yet complete.
The Group has not yet commenced examining the effects of adopting IFRS 15 on the financial statements.
Note 4 - Income Tax
A. Details regarding the tax environment of the Group
(1) Corporate tax rate
(a) Presented hereunder are the tax rates relevant to the group in the years 2013-2014:
2013 - 25%
2014 - 26.5%
On 5 August 2013 the Israeli Parliament passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) - 2013, by which, inter alia, the corporate tax rate increased by 1.5% to a rate of 26.5% for 2014 and thereafter.
(b) According to various amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) - 1961 (hereinafter - "the Ordinance"), Israeli Accounting Standard No. 29 "Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)" that was issued by the Israel Accounting Standards Board, shall not apply when determining the taxable income for the 2007 through 2013, tax years even if this standard was applied when preparing the financial statements.
(2) Benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments
Amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959
On 29 December 2010 the Israeli Parliament approved the Economic Policy Law for 2011-2012, which includes an amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment is effective from 1 January 2011 and its provisions apply to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011 and thereafter by a preferred company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment.
A preferred enterprise track was introduced, which mainly provides a uniform and reduced tax rate for all the company's income entitled to benefits, such as: in the 2011-2012 tax years - a tax rate of 10% for Development Area A and of 15% for the rest of the country, in the 2013-2014 tax years - a tax rate of 7% for Development Area A and of 12.5% for the rest of the country, and as from the 2015 tax year - 6% for Development Area A and 12% for the rest of the country. On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) - 2013, which cancelled the planned tax reduction so that as from the 2014 tax year the tax rate on preferred income will be 9% for Development Area A and 16% for the rest of the country.
During 2013, the Company obtained a tax ruling (the "Ruling") from the Israeli Tax Authorities (the "ITA"), effective for years 2012 - 2016, which determines that the Company owns an industrial enterprise as defined in the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959.
Based on the Ruling, income derived from the industrial enterprise, which is considered "Preferred Income",should be eligible for tax benefits during the aforementioned period (Non A development area), subject to the limitations set forth in the Ruling. However, the Ruling has determined that income which is not considered part of the Company's "Preferred Income" shall not be entitled to the "Preferred Income" tax benefits and will be subject to the standard Israeli corporate tax rate.
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to temporary differences when they are expected to be reversed, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Note 14 - Financial Instruments
A. Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
- Credit risk
- Liquidity risk
- Market risk
This note presents quantitative and qualitative information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, and the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk.
B. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's trade and other receivables and investment securities.
Note 14 - Financial Instruments (cont'd)
B. Credit risk (cont'd)

(*) The Group invests in money market funds with banks and financial institutions rated AA+.
(**) The Group included provision to doubtful debts are USD 111 thousand (2013: nil) in respect of specific debtors that their collectability is in doubt.
C. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, the CPI, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
(1) Linkage and foreign currency risks
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currency of the Group, the US dollar (USD). The principal currencies in which these transactions are denominated are NIS, Euro and GBP.
At any point in time, the Group aims to match the amounts of its assets and liabilities in the same currency in order to hedge the exposure to changes in currency.
Furthermore, a major portion of the employees' salaries, paid in NIS consists of bonuses linked to the functional currency of the Group, the USD. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into and without the application of hedge accounting.
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.
The Group's net financial assets are mainly in USD (23 million of 24 million overall), therefore the exposure to linkage and foreign currency risk is not material.
Note 14 - Financial Instruments (cont'd)
D. Fair value
The book value of certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, investments in money market funds, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables, are equal or approximate to their fair value.
All investments in money market fund are in Level 1.

Note 16 - Subsidiaries (cont'd)
Measurement of fair values
(i) Presented hereunder is information regarding the techniques the Group used to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities recognized as a result of the business combination:
Trade name and Technology
The fair value of technology and trade name is based on the relief from royalty rate method, which considers both the market approach (compare to similar businesses or intangible assets that have been sold) and the income approach (convert anticipated benefits into a present single amount).
Customer Relationships
The fair value of customer relationships is based on the income approach specifically the multi-period excess earnings method.
The aggregate cash flows derived for the Group as a result of the acquisition:
|

|
USD thousands |
Cash and cash equivalents paid |
|
6,745 |
Cash and cash equivalents of the subsidiaries |
|

Goodwill
Goodwill was recognized as a result of the acquisition as follows:

|
|
|
USD thousands |
Consideration transferred |
|
13,844 |
Less fair value of identifiable net assets |
|

|
|
|
Goodwill |
|

The goodwill is attributable mainly to the synergies expected to be achieved from integrating Taptica into the Company's existing business (see also Note 6 on intangible assets). None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition-related costs
The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of USD 24 thousand related to legal fees and due diligence costs. These costs have been included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of income.
