NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)
 
NOTE 1: GENERAL

a. Perion Network Ltd. ("Perion") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company"), is a global technology company, providing high-quality advertising solutions to brands and publishers, high-impact ad formats that capture consumer attention and drives engagement, branded search providing publishers with engagement and monetization solutions and a unified social and mobile programmatic platform for acquiring and engaging app users.

b. On February 10, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Make Me Reach SAS ("MMR") and on November 30, 2015, completed the acquisition of Interactive Holding Corp and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Undertone").

c. In March 2016, management has decided to shut down the mobile self-serve side of the business and put up for sale the Growmobile Engagement (“GME”) business (see Note 14); Accordingly, the statements of income and statements of cash flow, related to the mobile self-serve and mobile engage operations are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As of June 30, 2015 and 2016, the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities discontinued were immaterial.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016, the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, as well as the statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. In the management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2016, as well as its results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 24, 2016.

There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that have had a material impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.

NOTE 2:         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

b. Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company's management evaluates its estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, fair values and useful lives of intangible assets, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

c. Impact of recently issued accounting standard not yet adopted

· In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As currently issued and amended, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, though early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

· In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires that long-term lease arrangements be recognized on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

· In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (ASU 2016-08) which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, with the option to adopt it in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2:         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

· In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09) to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, an option to recognize gross share-based compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

· In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2016-10 amends ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify two aspects of ASC 606, identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles of those areas. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-10 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in ASU No. 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASC 606 and any other Topic amended by ASU 2014-09. ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of ASU 2016-10 will have on its financial statements.

· In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2016-12 amends ASC 606 to address certain issues in the guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-12 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in ASU No. 2016-12 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASC 606 and any other Topic amended by ASU 2014-09. ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of ASU 2016-12 will have on its financial statements.

NOTE 5:          DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITES

The Company follows the requirements of ASC No. 815, ”Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), which requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value (i.e. gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging transaction and further, on the type of hedging transaction. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flow resulting mainly from salaries and related benefits and taxes paid in New Israeli Shekels (“ILS”) during the year, the Company hedges portions of its anticipated payroll denominated in ILS for a period of one to twelve months with forward and options contracts (the “Hedging Contracts”). Accordingly, when the USD strengthens against the ILS, the decline in present value of future ILS currency expenses is offset by losses in the fair value of the Hedging Contracts. Conversely, when the USD weakens, the increase in the present value of future ILS expenses is offset by gains in the fair value of the Hedging Contracts. These Hedging Contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

NOTE 5:          DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITES (Cont.)

Additionally, in order to mitigate the potential adverse impact of the fluctuations in the ILS-USD exchange rate in connection with the convertible debt (see note 7), the Company has entered into a cross currency interest rate SWAP agreement (the “SWAP”) in order to hedge the future interest and principal payments, which are all denominated in ILS. However, since the convertible debt is measured at fair value at each reporting date, the SWAP does not qualify and was not designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815.

In order to limit the Company’s interest expenses derives from the secured credit agreement of $50,000 in which the Company entered concurrently with the closing of the Undertone acquisition (see note 6), the Company has purchased a Cap option for the interest amounts expected to be paid till June 2018. The Cap option is designated as cash flow hedge under ASC 815.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any gain or loss on a derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item is recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the notional value of the Company’s derivative instruments was $65,452 and $57,052, respectively.

The fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments is as follows:

NOTE 7:          CONVERTIBLE DEBT
 
In September 2014, the Company completed a public offering in Israel of its Series L Convertible Bonds (the "Bonds"). The Company issued Bonds with an aggregate par value of approximately ILS 143,500 thousands, out of which, as of June 30, 2016 approximately ILS 114,800 thousands are outstanding, (approximately $29,846 as of June 30, 2016). The Bonds were issued at a purchase price equal to 96.5% of their par value and bear annual interest at a rate of 5%, payable semi-annually. The proceeds of the offering, before issuance costs of $741, amounted to $37,852. The principal of the Bonds, denominated in ILS, is repaid in five equal annual installments commencing on March 31, 2016.

The Bonds are convertible, at the election of each holder, into the Company’s ordinary shares at a conversion price of ILS 33.605 per share ($8.74 on June 30, 2016) from the date of issuance and until March 15, 2020. The ordinary shares issued upon conversion of the Bonds will be listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”), to extent that the Company's ordinary shares are listed thereon at the time of conversion. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event that the Company effects a share split or reverse share split, a rights offering or a distribution of bonus shares or a cash dividend.

The Company may redeem the Bonds upon delisting of the Bonds from the TASE, subject to certain conditions. In addition, the Company may redeem the Bonds or any part thereof at its discretion after December 1, 2014, subject to certain conditions.

The Company elected to apply the fair value option in accordance with ASC No. 825, “Financial Instruments”, to the Bonds and therefore all unrealized gains and losses are recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Bonds, based on its quoted price at the TASE and including accrued interest of $372, was $29,309.

b.      Contingent purchase obligation

On November 30, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of SweetIM’s shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) between the Company and SweetIM, the Company was obligated to pay SweetIM's shareholders, among other payments, a payment of up to $ 7,500 in cash in May 2014, if certain milestones were met (the “Contingent Payment”). The milestones were based on the Company's revenues in 2013, and the absence of certain changes in the industry in which the Company operates. On May 28, 2014, the Company paid $2,500 on account of the Contingent Payment. Following such payment, on June 22, 2014, SweetIM’s Shareholders’ representative notified the Company claiming that the Company owes SweetIM’s shareholders the entire Contingent Payment. The Company believes that the claim is without merit and plans to defend against it vigorously. Until this dispute is resolved, the Company will maintain the $5,000 liability in its financial statements that was recorded at the time it entered into the SPA. In April 2015, pursuant to the SPA, an arbitration process with respect to this claim was commenced in Israel.

c.      Legal Matters

1. On December 22, 2015, Adtile Technologies Inc. filed a lawsuit against Perion and Intercept Interactive Inc. (“Intercept”), a subsidiary of Interactive Holding Corp., in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit alleges various causes of action against Perion and Intercept related to Intercept’s alleged unauthorized use and misappropriation of Adtile’s proprietary information and trade secrets. Adtile is seeking injunctive relief and, unspecified monetary damages. On June 23, 2016, the Court denied Adtile’s motion for a preliminary injunction. On June 24, 2016, the Court (i) granted Perion’s motion to dismiss, and (ii) granted Intercept’s motion to stay the action and compel arbitration. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or range of possible loss at this stage and believes it has strong defenses against this lawsuit and intends to defend against it vigorously.

NOTE 9: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

a. Ordinary shares

The ordinary shares of the Company entitle their holders to voting rights, the right to receive cash dividend and the right to a share in excess assets upon liquidation of the Company.

b. Private placement

On December 3, 2015 (the “Effective date”), the Company completed a private placement of 4,436,898 ordinary shares for gross proceeds of $10,125 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Investors. The purchase price per share was $2.282, which was the average closing price of an ordinary share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the 30 trading days ending on December 1, 2015.

According to the terms in the SPA, on September 1, 2016, the per share purchase price was adjusted downward to a price per share of $1.939, and the Company issued to the Investors 782,981 additional ordinary shares (the “Share Settlement”). Under ASC 480 "Distinguish Liabilities from Equity" as the investors could not sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, the Ordinary Shares and retain the right for Share Settlement, it was concluded that the Share Settlement is considered legally as embedded financial instrument. In addition, according to ASC 815-40 "Contracts in Entity's Own Equity", because the only variable that can affect the potential settlement amount is the Company’s share price, and since the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares exists at the Effective Date and as of June 30, 2016 after taking into account the maximum number of shares that could have been required to be delivered during the contract period under existing commitments, the Share Settlement is classified as a shareholders' equity.

On November 30, 2015, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts in order to file a registration statement on Form F-3 for the resale of the aforesaid Ordinary shares issued within timeframe as detailed in the Agreement. If it does not meet the abovementioned registration obligations, the Company may incur liquidated damages equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the aggregate Subscription Amount up to 10% of the Subscription Amount. In 2016 the Company paid an amount of $50 as liquidated damages.

c. Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units and Warrants

The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was initially adopted in 2003 and had an initial term of ten years from adoption. On December 9, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors extended the term of the Plan for an additional ten years. In addition, on August 7, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved amendments to the Plan to include the ability to grant RSUs and restricted stock.

The contractual term of the stock options is generally no more than five years and the vesting period of the options and RSUs granted under the Plan is between 1 and 3 years from the date of grant. The rights of the ordinary shares obtained from the

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3,993 and tax expenses of $6,522 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in income taxes is primarily a result of the decrease in the income before tax which is attributable to three factors; the transition to the current search rev-share model, replacing the search revenues that were without expense in 2015, a $9,215 increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily from intangible assets acquired with Undertone, a $4,398 increase in financial expenses also primarily associated with financing the Undertone operation.
 
The effective tax rate was 91.8% and 34.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is significantly impacted by the level of pre-tax income earned and the mix between the different jurisdictions.
