NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)
NOTE 1:GENERAL
Perion Network Ltd. ("Perion") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company"), is a global technology company that provides agencies, brands and publishers with innovative solutions that cover the three main pillars of digital advertising. From its data-driven Synchronized Digital Branding platform and high-impact ad formats in the display domain; to its powerful social media platform; to its branded search network, Perion is well-positioned to capitalize on any changes in marketers’ allocation of digital advertising spend.
On January 14, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Content IQ LLC (see Note 3) and on July 23, 2020, the Company consummated the assets acquisition of Pub Ocean Limited (see Note 14).
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly changed market and economic conditions globally, impacting our customers and channel partners, as well as our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We remain focused on protecting the health and wellbeing of our employees and the communities in which we operate, while assuring the continuity of our business operations.
As a result of the revenue flexibility provided by our product diversity across the three main pillars of digital advertising, cost saving initiatives and experienced management team, we deftly mitigated near-term pressure on advertising budgets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which enable us to protect operating profits and generate cash flow in 2020 while continuing to build a unique strategic asset in the digital media ecosystem.
Management is monitoring and assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic daily, including recommendations and orders issued by government and public health authorities.
NOTE 2:SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a.Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, the consolidated statements of income (loss), the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, as well as the statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 (the "SEC") 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, 2020, as well as its results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020 (the "Annual Report").
b.There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.

NOTE 2:SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
c.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 sales allowances and allowance for doubtful debts, fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, fair value of share-based awards, realizability of deferred tax assets, tax uncertainties, 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.
d.Revenue recognition
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606" or "Topic 606") The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective application method for all uncompleted contracts as of that date. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on the Company's accounts receivable and deferred revenues balance as of December 31, 2018 or on the Company's revenues, cost of sales or its operating expenses during 2018, compared to ASC 605.
The Company applies the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining contracts when the associated revenues is recognized over less than one year.
The Company generates revenues primarily from two major sources:
Advertising Revenues - the Company generates advertising revenues from delivering, high impact ad formats creatively designed to capture consumer attention and drive engagement, across a hand-picked portfolio of websites and mobile applications. In addition, the Company also generates advertising revenues from digital publishing services, which are being recognizes once the advertisement vendors publish the relevant information across their platform.
Search Revenues - the Company obtains its search revenues from service agreements with its search partners. Search revenue is generated primarily from monthly transaction volume-based fees earned by the Company for making its applications available to online publishers and app developers (either based on fixed price models, pay-per-search fee or portion of the revenue generated by the search partners).

PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)
NOTE 2:SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The Company evaluates whether Search and Advertising Revenues should be presented on a gross basis, which is the amount that a customer pays for the service, or on a net basis, which is the amount of the customer payment less amounts the Company pays to publishers. In making that evaluation, the Company considers whether it controls the promised good or service before transferring that good or service to the customer. The Company considers indicators such as whether the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement and assumes risks and rewards as a principal or an agent, including the credit risk, whether the Company has latitude in establishing prices and selecting its suppliers and whether it changes the products or performs part of the service. The evaluation of these factors is subject to significant judgment and subjectivity. Generally, in cases in which the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, is subject to risk, involved in the determination of the product (or the service) specifications, separately negotiates each revenue service agreement or publisher agreement and can have several additional indicators, revenue is recorded on a gross basis.
Contract balances are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets as either Accounts receivable or Deferred revenues. The Company does not have contract assets.
Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers.
Deferred revenues are recorded when payments are received from customers in advance of the Company's rendering of services.
e.Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2020. This standard requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets ranging from short-term trade accounts receivable to long-term financings and report credit losses using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that was previously used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks.
The Company adopted Topic 326 effective January 1, 2020, based on the composition of the Company’s trade receivables and other financial assets, current economic conditions and historical credit loss activity. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are presented under the new standard, while comparative periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy.

The following table represents the pro-forma (unaudited) condensed consolidated statements of operations as if the acquisition completed during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020 (unaudited), had been included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (unaudited) and 2019 (unaudited):

The pro-forma results have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of all acquisitions to reflect the additional payroll related expenses, revaluation of the earnout liability and depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied since the acquisitions date, together with the consequential tax effects.
The pro-forma results are based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. The pro-forma results are not the results that would have been realized had the acquisitions actually occurred on January 1, 2019 and 2020, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations in future periods.

Goodwill has been recorded as a result of prior acquisitions and represents excess of the consideration over the net fair value of the assets of the businesses acquired. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had two reporting units – Search and Advertising. The Company performs tests for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As of 30 June 2020, the Company determined that there were no indicators of potential impairment with regards to its reporting units which required interim goodwill impairment analysis.

NOTE 6: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, a 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 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.
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, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the notional value of the Company’s derivative instruments was $

b.Legal Matters
On December 22, 2015, Adtile Technologies Inc. filed a lawsuit against the Company 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 Undertone related to Undertone’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 the Company’s motion to dismiss, and (ii) granted Intercept’s motion to stay the action and compel arbitration. In November 2017, the court dismissed the case for administrative reasons, since Adtile had not commenced arbitration proceedings. The Company is still unable to predict the outcome or range of possible loss as of the date of these financial statements, since to date Adtile had not commenced arbitration procedures. Regardless, the Company believes it has strong defenses against this lawsuit and intends to defend against it vigorously.
In addition, from time to time, the Company is party to other various legal proceedings, claims and litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
