Adjusted gross profit / margin
Adjusted gross profit is a non--GAAP financial measure that
Matomy defines as revenues less direct media costs, which are the
direct costs associated with the purchase of digital media. These
costs include: payments for digital media based on the revenues
Matomy generates from its customers on a revenue--sharing basis,
payments for digital media on a non--revenue--sharing basis (CPC or
CPM), and serving fees for third--party platforms.
Matomy believes that adjusted gross profit is a meaningful
measure of operating performance because it is frequently used for
internal management purposes, indicates the performance of Matomy's
solutions in balancing the goals of delivering results to its
customers whilst meeting margin objectives, and facilitates a more
complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Matomy's
underlying revenues performance.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non--GAAP financial measure that Matomy
defines as net income before taxes on income, financial expenses
(income), net, equity losses of affiliated companies, net,
depreciation and amortisation, share--based compensation expenses
and exceptional items (as described below). Adjusted EBITDA is a
key measure Matomy uses to understand and evaluate its core
operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve its annual
budget, to develop short-- and long--term operating plans and to
determine bonus payments to management. In particular, Matomy
believes that by excluding share--based compensation expenses,
adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure for period--to--period
comparisons of Matomy's core business.
Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income is a non GAAP financial measure that Matomy
defines as net income before share-based compensation expenses and
any exceptional items.
Business and Operating Highlights

million)
o Programmatic mobile in-app (Mobfox) revenue increased 104% to
$25.0 million (H1 2016: $12.3 million)

$51.7 million (H1 2016: $30.6 million)
-- Adjusted EBITDA increased by 59% to $9.2 million (H1 2016:
$5.8 million) resulting in higher level of cash generation. The
improvement in adjusted EBITDA would be notably higher if the
effects of exchange rate fluctuations and the decreased level of
R&D capitalization are neutralized.
-- Adjusted gross profit grew by 25% to $43.1 million (H1 2016:
$34.6 million), with improvement in adjusted gross margin to 30.6%
(H1 2016: 27.8%)
-- Adjusted net loss reduced by 50% to $2.0 million loss (H1
2016: $4.0 million loss)
-- The company announced on 8 May 2017 a restructuring to focus
on its core activities of programmatic mobile, domain monetisation,
and video, while significantly reducing operational costs moving
forward.
o The company exited non-core activities, such as legacy web
display, social, search, and virtual currency media channels
o The financial effects of the divestiture will positively
impact H2 2017, with the full effect showing in 2018
o Matomy now has a smaller corporate team, resulting in lower
operational overhead
o R&D and technical employees now amount to approximately
45% of the staff overall, reflecting the stronger focus on
proprietary technology and product development
-- US continued to be the largest geography by revenue
generation, accounting for $95.1 million (H1 2016: $80.0
million)
Sagi Niri, Chief Executive Officer of Matomy, said:
"At Matomy, one of our primary values is to constantly challenge
ourselves, set high goals, and embrace change when necessary, and
we realized these values as we embarked on the strategic
restructuring this year. The financial results reported here
reflect our proactive strategic decisions and strong performance in
the core growth activities of Mobfox and Team Internet. We are
looking forward to continued growth following the operational
changes we have made and constantly monitor the best way to create
long-term value for all stakeholders."
Harel Beit-On, Matomy Non-Executive Chairman of the Board,
commented:
"Matomy made great strides in the first half of 2017, realizing
its new focus on core growth areas, such as mobile in-app
advertising technology and domain monetisation. Today, Matomy is
well-positioned to be a leading innovative force in the in-app,
mobile, and domain monetisation advertising marketplaces."

CHAIRMAN and CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER's STATEMENT
Introduction
2017 is a year of transition for Matomy. The company announced
on 8 May 2017 a restructuring to focus on core activities while
significantly reducing operational costs moving forward. The sale
of non-core activities was completed, and the company has started
seeing results that validate the strategic decision-making,
including significant improvement in its financial results with our
expectation that this positive trend will continue and grow.
Market Overview
Matomy is a global media company with a portfolio of data-driven
platforms for programmatic mobile, domain monetisation, video and
email advertising.
Programmatic ad spending is rising, particularly in the United
States, a key market for Matomy. Growth in the digital marketing
space continues to be driven by the growing proliferation of mobile
devices as the leading and preferred digital channel for online
distribution. The trend of increasing mobile app use, supports huge
potential for cross platform advertising. Continuous improvements
around consumer-targeting and sophisticated measurement techniques
support the ever-growing number of advertisers who incorporate
digital advertising into their advertising budgets and view the
digital space as the key environment for interacting with
consumers.
Operating Performance
In the first half of 2017, Matomy has seen a 13% rise in
revenue, a 59% increase in adjusted EBITDA, and a 25% improvement
in adjusted gross margin, resulting in higher level of cash
generation for H1 2017 compared to H1 2016. Net loss (non-GAAP)
decreased dramatically by 50% to ($ 2million). Matomy believes this
positive trend to continue as the reduction of operating costs that
begun in May continue to be realized till the end of the year and
onwards.
The company's core activities in programmatic mobile advertising
and domain monetisation have demonstrated particularly strong
financial and operational growth. Programmatic mobile (Mobfox)
revenue increased 104% to $25.0 million (H1 2016: $12.3 million)
and domain monetisation (Team Internet) revenue increased 69% to
$51.7 million (H1 2016: $30.6 million).
Outlook
The first half of 2017 was a period of strong performance by the
core activities, and a period of transition as the company exited
non-core activities and reduced operational costs. Traditionally,
Matomy's first half results are more moderate than the second half
results, and the Board and Management are confident of growth
prospects through the end of 2017 and beyond.

OPERATING REVIEW
Revenues by Media Channel
The following table sets out Matomy's revenues by media channel
for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 and 2016.
Six-Month Period Ended 30 June
----------------------- -----------------------------------
($ millions) 2017 2016 Change
----------------------- ---------- ---------- -----------
Mobile in-app 25.0 12.3 104%
----------------------- ---------- ---------- -----------
Domain monetisation 51.7 30.6 69%
----------------------- ---------- ---------- -----------
Email 7.5 9 (17%)
----------------------- ---------- ---------- -----------
Video 35.1 49.2 (29%)
----------------------- ---------- ---------- -----------
Exited media channels 21.7 23.3 (7%)
----------------------- ---------- ---------- -----------
Total 141.0 124.4 13%
----------------------- ---------- ---------- -----------
Mobile In-App
Mobile in-app (Mobfox) media channel revenues increased 104% to
$25.0 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 from
$12.3 million in the same period last year. This increase was
driven by strong growth in the recruitment and retention of new
media suppliers and buyers with a low churn rate, as well as
improvements to Mobfox's auction mechanism with the establishment
of new methodologies for its demand-side platform and supply-side
platform. We also saw compelling growth in the in-app video
activity, and positive response to our investment in APAC as a new
business region for the product.
Domain Monetisation
Domain monetisation revenues increased by $21.1 million, or 69%,
to $51.7 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 from
$30.6 million in the same period last year. The introduction of a
suite of technological improvements across Team Internet's various
platforms resulted in enhanced performance in comparison to peers
and led to increased recruitment of new clients and higher market
share.
Email
Email media channel revenues decreased by $1.5 million, or 17%,
to $7.5 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 from $9
million in the same period last year. This decrease was mainly
attributable to two temporary processes. The first was the
temporary diversion in resource allocation during the restructure
and consolidation of Matomy's two email platforms into one
comprehensive platform - a process that is now completed. The
second was the integration of several new features and tools
intended to ensure compliance with the periodic new requirements by
certain ISPs that the company uses in its email activity. Email
revenues for the same period last year, have been reclassified to
exclude revenues in the sum of $4.3 million from cross affiliate
activity which was included as part of the exited activities
Video
Video media channel revenues decreased by $14.1 million, or 29%,
to $35.1 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 from
$49.2 million in the same period last year. The decrease in the
video channel was driven by changes across the entire video
industry reducing the amount and price of available video
advertising inventory from sellers together with much stricter
quality requirements by video advertisers.
Exited Media Channels
Revenues from the exited media channels decreased by $1.6
million, or 7%, to $21.7 million for the six-month period ended 30
June 2017 from $23.3 million in the same period last year. The
exited media channels include legacy display, social and search and
virtual currency media channels and represent activities that have
a continued downward trend.
These media channels are no longer part of Matomy's activity and
will not be included in results for the periods going forward.
Revenues by Geography
The following table sets out Matomy's revenues by geographical
location for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 and 2016.

Americas
Revenues generated in the Americas increased by $21.3 million,
or 25%, to $107.7 million for the six-month period ended 30 June
2017 from $86.4 million in the same period last year, due to
continued growth focused particularly in the mobile and
programmatic-based activities, which are strongly centered on the
US market.
Europe
Revenues generated in the European market decreased by $8.2
million, or 36%, to $14.3 million for the six-month period ended 30
June 2017 from $22.5 million in the same period last year due to
the continuing shift of client focus to the Americas.
Asia
Revenues generated in Asian markets increased by $7.7 million,
or 151%, to $12.8 million for the six-month period ended 30 June
2017 from $5.1 million in the same period last year due to the
penetration in our key growth market of China, which also reflects
activity which was sold as part of the exited activity.
Following higher investment in our local mobile activity, the
growth in Asia without the exited activity, increased by $1.1
million, or 61%, to $2.9 million for the six-month period ended 30
June 2017 from $1.8 million in the same period last year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
In the first half of 2017, Matomy's revenue increased by $16.6
million, or 13%, to $141.0 million (H1 2016: $124.4 million). The
growth in revenue reflects the continued strength of the mobile
media channel, a key growth engine for Matomy, together with a
strong growth in domain monetisation revenue. Excluding the
revenues from the exited activities, which will cease to be part of
the reported activities going forward, the increase in revenues is
even higher, representing 18% growth.

Cost of revenue for the Group increased by $11.3 million, or
11%, to $110.8 million (78.6% of total revenues) for the six-month
period ended 30 June 2017 from $99.5 million (80.0% of total
revenues) in the same period last year.
Adjusted gross margin, which reflects only direct media costs,
increased by 3 percentage points. This change was driven by
significant improvements in margins and scales of activities in
Matomy's core growth engines - mobile and domain monetisation.
The exited activities reflect low margin with high operational
costs, excluding the margin attributable to the exited activities,
the increase in the gross margin would have been even higher.
Other cost of revenue, including allocated costs, server
expenses, and amortisation of capitalised R&D and intangible
assets, increased in part from higher server expenses on the fast
growing mobile and domain monetisation activities.

Research and development............................................................... 6.7 5.0

Total operating expenses.................................................................. 30.1 29.2
Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues...................... 21% 23%
======== ========
Operating expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 3%, to $30.1
million (H1 2016: $29.2 million). Operating expenses as a
percentage of revenues were 21% (H1 2016: 23%).
The increase in operating expenses is mainly attributable to
increased investment in R&D of $1.7 million, which were offset
by a reduction in general and administrative costs of $1.1 million,
reflecting the restructuring steps taken during 2017, which are
expected to show their full effect in 2018.
Research and development expenses increased by $1.7 million, or
33%, to $6.7 million (H1 2016: $5.0 million), based on continued
investment in R&D across the group, reflecting our commitment
to strengthening our proprietary technological offerings, as well
as reduction in capitalization of expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 1.7% to $15.6 million (H1
2016: $15.3 million). This increase is mainly a result of
investment in sales teams, especially in the mobile and APAC
activities, which is partly offset by slightly decreased
amortisation expenses recorded in sales and marketing (reduced in
H1 2017 by $0.6 million).
General and administrative expenses decreased 12% to $7.8
million (H1 2016: $8.9 million), due to continued success in
introducing efficiencies at corporate level, streamlining and
reducing overheads. This change is aligned with the restructuring
plan announced on 8 May, 2017 and is expected to continue to show
through the second half of 2017 and 2018.
Financial Expenses
Financial expenses, net increased by $0.5 million, or 72%, to
$1.2 million (H1 2016: $0.7 million). This increase is mainly due
to higher interest expenses due to additional outstanding loans and
credit lines in H1 2017 compared to H1 2016, as well as higher
expenses from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, net of hedging
transactions, due to the weakening of the dollar vs. the shekel
during H1 2017.
Taxes on Income
Taxes on income shifted to $2.9 million income for the six-month
period ended 30 June 2017 (31% of loss before taxes), compared to
$0.3 million expense in the same period last year (-5%). The change
in effective tax rate was primarily due to reversal of deferred tax
liability resulted from impairment of intangible assets.
Earnings per Share
Matomy's basic earnings per share decreased by $0.09 to $0.15
loss per share for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 (H1
2016: $0.06 loss per share). This primarily reflected the increased
GAAP net loss (which does not exclude the exceptional items), in
particular the effect of the increase in redeemable non-controlling
interest payable, due to the gain in value of the minority share of
Team Internet. In addition, during H1 2017, Matomy's average share
capital increased by 1.6% due to option exercises, resulting in a
lower denominator for the earnings per share calculation, affecting
the loss per share accordingly.
Amortisation of Intangible Assets
Amortisation expenses amounted to $7.5 million for the six-month
period ended 30 June 2017, a decrease of $0.6 million from
amortisation expenses of $8.1 million for the same period last
year. This reflected an increase in amortisation of capitalized
R&D assets, offset by the decreasing amortisation rate in
connection with previous acquisitions.
Exceptional Items
Matomy views the following items, which were recorded in profit
and loss, either as expense or income, as exceptional items which
are material to the financial statements and non-recurring, and
therefore were excluded from non-GAAP measures:
-- Impairments of intangible assets amounting to $14.2 million
in H1 2017, as detailed herein below
-- Earnout adjustments income of $5.5 million in H1 2017, as detailed herein below
-- Gain from sale of an activity of $0.9 million in H1 2017
-- Restructuring costs relating to the exited activities amounting to $0.6 million in H1 2017
-- Transaction costs associated with M&A activity amounting to $0.3 million in H1 2016
The company recorded an impairment of intangible assets and
capitalised R&D of $14.2 million, out of which $2.0 million is
due to consolidation of its email business units in order to gain
efficiency and reduction of duplicate operational costs. Additional
amount of $12.2 million is mainly due to changes in the quality
requirements of video advertisers and as a result, a further
adjustment of ($5.5 million) with relation to the post acquisition
performance.
Liquidity and Cash Flows
The following table sets out selected cash flow information for
Matomy for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2017 and 2016.

* *. Represents amounts less than $0.1 million.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.5 million, or 21%, to
$20.8 million as at 30 June 2017, compared to $26.3 million as at
30 June 2016.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $6.6 million in
H1 2017 compared to a net outflow of $0.3 million in H1 2016. This
was primarily influenced by improvements to underlying
profitability of ongoing activities, and the resulting improvement
to net income - after offsetting the effect of exceptional
(non-cash) items, including impairment charges and adjustments to
the fair value of contingent payments on net income.
Net cash used in investing activities of $2.9 million (H1 2016:
$3.3 million) was mainly related to capitalisation of R&D costs
and fixed asset investments, reflecting an aggregate decrease of
$1.0 million compared to H1 2016. As well as purchasing of domains
amounting to $1.0 million.
Cash flows used in financing activities increased to $4.5
million (H1 2016: $2.6 million inflow), primarily due to payments
made in connection with acquiring additional shares in Team
Internet ($10.4 million) and repayment of bank loans ($2.3 million
net of new loans), funded by an increase of $14.5 million in
short-term bank credit. As at 30 June 2017, Matomy had $11.5
million in term loans. Of those, $6.2 million were due within one
year.
Financial Reporting
This financial information has been prepared under US GAAP
principles and in accordance with Matomy's accounting policies.
There have been no changes to Matomy's accounting policies and
reporting during the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 except for
the following:
(i) presenting the excess of the redemption amount over the
non-controlling interest in the notes and not as part of the
consolidated statements of operations below the net losses; and
(ii) reclassifying the domain from "held for sale" in the short
term to part of the intangible assets in Long-term assets, in line
with its long term strategy.
Going Concern -
The Directors confirm that, after making an assessment, they
have reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources
to meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, based, inter
alia, upon confirmations provided by the company's principal
shareholders regarding their intention to provide appropriate
funding, if necessary.
The group's business activities are set out in the Operational
Review and the Financial Review. As set out in the Principal Risk
Factors, a number of risks affect the group's results and financial
position.
Principal Risks
The Directors assess and monitor the key risks of the business
on an ongoing basis. The principal risks and uncertainties that
could have a material effect on the Group's performance are set out
in detail in the section entitled "Risk Factors" of the Group's IPO
prospectus (the "Prospectus") dated 9 July 2014 and below. These
include, among other things, the following:
-- Certain internet and technology companies may intentionally
or unintentionally adversely affect Matomy's operations, mainly due
to announced or unannounced changes and restrictions by such
companies.
-- The delivery of digital ads and the recording of the
performance of digital ads are subject to complex regulations,
legal requirements and industry standards.
-- Matomy's revenue and operating results are highly dependent
on the overall demand for advertising. Factors that affect the
amount of advertising spending, such as economic downturns,
particularly in the fourth quarter, can make it difficult to
predict our revenue and could adversely affect our business.
-- Seasonal fluctuations in digital advertising activity, which
may historically have been less apparent due to our historical core
activities and growth, could adversely affect our cash flows and
operating results.
-- In order to meet our growth objectives, we will need to rely
upon our ability to innovate, the continued adoption of our
solution by buyers and sellers for higher value advertising
inventory, the extension of the reach of our solution into evolving
digital media, and growth into new geographic markets.
-- Matomy operates in an intensely competitive market that
includes companies that have greater financial, technical, and
marketing resources than we do.
-- The digital advertising industry is highly competitive and
fragmented and currently experiencing consolidation, resulting in
increasing competition.
-- In order to meet our growth objectives, we may need to rely
on our ability to raise debt or utilize credit lines, which may not
be sufficiently available to meet our ongoing financial needs
-- Matomy is dependent on relationships with certain third
parties with significant market positions.
-- Matomy relies on the continued compatibility of its
technological platforms with third-party operating systems,
software and content distribution channels, as well as
newly-acquired systems.
-- Matomy may be subject to third-party claims brought against it.
-- Matomy has historically derived the majority of its revenues
from customers that use its solutions for display marketing
campaigns, which are now rapidly declining.
-- A key part of Matomy's strategy relates to acquisitions and

NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. Matomy Media Group Ltd together with its subsidiaries
(collectively - "the Company") offers and provides a portfolio of
proprietary programmatic data-driven platforms for mobile, video,
domain and email digital advertising to advertisers, advertising
agencies, Apps developers, domain owners through access to digital
media, via a vast chain of direct and indirect media partners, such
as websites, mobile apps and video.
The Company through its proprietary programmatic technological
platforms provides its customers with access to a wide range of
digital media channels, and enables customized performance and
programmatic solutions supported by big data analytics,
optimization technology, business intelligence, programmatic media
buying and Real-Time-Bidding (RTB) on mobile, video and web,
empowering advertising and media partners to meet their digital
goals, which include user acquisition and revenue results for both
advertisers and media partners. The Company also provides a media
management platform (SSP) and demand management platform (DSP)
offering publishers or advertisers end to end solutions.
Matomy Media Group Ltd. was incorporated in 2006. The Company's
markets are located primarily in the United States and Europe.
Since July 2014 the Company's shares are traded in the "London
Stock Exchange". On July 2016, the Company's shares commenced
trading also on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") in accordance
with the Company's TASE Dual Listing Application pursuant to the
Israeli Dual-Listing Law.
b. Sale of an activity:
On 29 June 2017 the Company entered into an agreement for the
sale of its intangible assets and transfer of all employees related
to its non-core business, for a total consideration of up to $
10,892, comprised of $5,642 in cash (included in "receivables on
account of sale of activity" as of 30 June 2017) and a contingent
consideration up to $5,250 based on future business performance.
Additional cash consideration of $358 is paid for certain
post-closing transitional services to be provided by the Company,
all as defined in the selling agreement. The cash considerations
were received in July 2017.
The sale resulted in a gain of $913, which is included in
operating results for the 6 months ended in 30 June 2017.
Following the consummation of this transaction, the Company has
exited from the legacy web display, social and search and virtual
currency media channels, which are deemed non-core activities.
Going forward these media channels will cease to be part of the
Company's activity.
The Company elected to recognize the future proceeds when the
contingency is resolved and therefore the contingent consideration
amount was not accounted for as part of the gain.
Gain from sale of activity:
Goodwill (4,660)
Other intangible assets, net (69)
Consideration- presented in receivables on account
of sale of activity 5,642
------------
Gain from sale of activity $ 913

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)
c. The Company may require additional capital in order to fund
future liabilities (such liabilities include, among others, bank
loans, contingent payment obligation related to acquisitions and
redeemable non-controlling interest). In September 2017, major
shareholders of the Company agreed to provide funding, to the
extent needed. The Company and the Board expects that its existing
capital resources and other future measures that may be
implemented, to the extent required, will be adequate to satisfy
the expected liquidity needs of the Company, in the foreseeable
future. Clearly, there is no assurance regarding raising additional
capital in the future, if needed.
d. During the six-month period ended 30 June 2017, the Company
changed its long-term strategy regarding the manner it relates to
domains for sale and accordingly reclassified the domains from
current assets to non-current assets with indefinite useful lives.
As of the date of reclassification, no impairment losses were
recorded in accordance with ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and
other".
Since the domains have no expiry date, management believes that
these intangible assets have indefinite useful lives.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized
and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an
indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Unaudited interim financial statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for
interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. The results for the
six-month period ended 30 June 2017 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ended 31 December
2017.
In the preparation of the consolidated financial information, it
applied the significant accounting policies, on a consistent basis
to the annual financial statements of the Company as of 31 December
2016, except for the change in accounting policy regarding the
presentation of the redeemable non-controlling interest accretion
and the initial application of ASU 2016-09 (see Note 2b).
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's financial
statements ("the Annual Report") for the year ended 31 December
2016.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
b. Change in accounting policies:
1. The Company changed its accounting policy regarding the
presentation of the adjustment to the net income attributable to
Matomy Media Group Ltd as a result of accretion of redeemable
non-controlling interest. According to the new accounting policy,
the Company presents the accretion amount in the calculation of the
loss per share in the notes of the financial statements, compared
to the previous presentation on the face of the consolidated
statements of operations, since Company's management believes that
reflecting the effects of the accretion as an adjustment to income
available to Matomy Media Group Ltd in the loss per share note is a
more appropriate presentation. The presentation of prior years was
changed to conform to current year's presentation. The
reclassification had no effect on previously reported net loss or
shareholders' equity.
2. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation -
Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee
Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016- 09"). The update
simplifies several aspects of accounting for employee share-based
payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities,
including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and
statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification
in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2016, including
interim periods within those annual reporting periods, early
adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard commencing
1 January 2017. The impact of the adoption was to reduce retained
earnings and to increase additional paid-in capital by $ 68 as of 1
January 2017.
c. Use of estimates:
The preparation of the consolidated financial information in
conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates,
judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that
the estimates, judgments and assumptions it uses are reasonable
based upon information available at the time they are made. These
estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial information,
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company's management evaluates
estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, fair
values of financial instruments, fair values and useful lives of
intangible assets, fair values of stock-based awards, deferred
taxes and income tax uncertainties and contingent liabilities. Such
estimates are based on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that it believes to be reasonable, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
d. Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization:
Property and equipment and intangible assets subject to
amortization are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC
360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", and ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and other" whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of these
assets is measured by comparing the carrying amounts to the future
undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If
property and equipment and intangible assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by
which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market
value.
In determining the fair values of long-lived assets for purpose
of measuring impairment, the Company's assumptions include those
that market participants will consider in valuations of similar
assets.
In June 2017, following the recent strategic restructuring,
consolidation of certain business units and adjustment to current
market terms, including adequacy of certain technological products,
the Company performed an impairment review of intangible assets
that were recognized in connection with the acquisition of
Optimatic and Avenlo, which resulted in impairments of $13,793 (see
Note 6). The impairment amount is included in impairment, net of
change in fair value of contingent consideration, in the statement
of operations for the six months ended 30 June 2017. The related
deferred tax liability in the amount of $4,800 has also been
written off and is included in taxes on income, as tax benefit, for
the six months ended 30 June 2017.
e. Goodwill and other intangible assets:
Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of business
acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill and
indefinite intangible assets are not amortized but instead are
tested for impairment, in accordance with ASC 350, at least
annually at December 31 each year, or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be
impaired. The first step, identifying a potential impairment,
compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying
amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the second
step would need to be performed; otherwise, no further step is
required. The second step, measuring the impairment loss, compares
the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying amount of
the goodwill. Any excess of the carrying amount over the applied
fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying
value of goodwill is written down to fair value. Following the sale
of the non-core activity and the restructuring to focus on the
Company's core activity, the Company conducted a goodwill
impairment review and determined that no impairment is
required.
Following the acquisition of Team Internet, the Company operates
in one operating segment, comprised of two reporting units - Matomy
and Domain Monetisation.
Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite
useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Customer relationships and trade name are amortized over their
estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits
realized. This accounting policy results in accelerated
amortization of such intangible assets as compared to the
straight-line method. Technology and database are amortised over
their useful lives on a straight-line basis.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
f. Allowance for doubtful accounts:
The Company evaluates specific accounts where information
indicates the Company's customers may have an inability to meet
financial obligations. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to
$ 3,005 and $ 1,704 as of 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016,
respectively.
g. Internal-use Software Development:
Costs incurred to develop software for internal use are
capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the
software. Costs related to design or maintenance of internal-use
software are expensed as incurred. For the six months ended June 30
2017 and 2016, the Company capitalized $1,858 and $2,510,
respectively. In June 2017, following the recent strategic
restructuring, consolidation of certain business units and
adjustment to current market terms, including adequacy of certain
technological products, the Company abandon certain projects, which
resulted in impairments of $445. The impairment amount is included
in impairment, net of change in fair value of contingent
consideration, in the statement of operations for the six months
ended 30 June 2017.
h. Standards issued but not yet effective:
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 they
transfer 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 15 December 2017, including interim periods
within that reporting period, though early adoption is permitted
for annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2016. We
are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the
adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements,
and considering additional disclosure requirements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) which amends the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification and created Topic 842, "Leases." Under Topic
842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on
the balance sheet for most leases and provides for enhanced
disclosures. Leases will continue to be classified as either
finance or operating. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting
periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after 15
December 2018. Entities are required to use a modified
retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into
after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the
financial statements.
Full retrospective application is prohibited and early adoption
by public entities is permitted. We are currently in the process of
evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our
consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock
Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU
2017-09"). ASU 2017-09 provides clarification on when modification
accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of
a share-based payment award. This ASU does not change the
accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification
accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to
the value, vesting conditions, or award classification and would
not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new
accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 3:- Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables,
payables and short-term bank credit approximate their carrying
amount.

NOTE 4:- DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge foreign
currency fluctuations and to hedge against the risk of overall
changes in future cash flow from payments of payroll and related
expenses denominated in new Israeli shekels.
These instruments do not qualify and were not designated as cash
flow hedges as defined by ASC 815, "Derivative and Hedging", and
