NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interactive Holding Corp. (“IHC”, the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries is a digital advertising company.  The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 21, 2008.  Following its incorporation, IHC formed a wholly owned subsidiary, IHC Acquisition Corp, to merge with Intercept Interactive Inc. (dba Undertone), a privately held entity incorporated in the State of New York on March 5, 2001.

On March 19, 2008, Intercept Interactive, Inc. merged with IHC Acquisition Corp.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s subsidiaries consist of World Web Network (WWN), Jambo Media LLC (Jambo), U.U.U.I Undertone Israel Ltd. (Upfront), and Spark Flow LLC (Sparkflow).

Liquidity

At any time after March 19, 2013, the holders of a majority of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) can request a redemption ("Redemption Request") of their Series A Preferred stock.  The amount redeemable is limited to funds that are determined to be legally available (See Note 8). If in the future such a Redemption Request is made, it could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's liquidity, operations, and financial condition, and may impact its ability to continue as a going concern.  There have been no redemption requests subsequent to March 19, 2013 and after the acquisition date of the Company by Perion Network Ltd. on November 30, 2015 (See Note 9) such Series A Preferred Stock has been cancelled.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented have been included. The operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015, for any future interim period, or for any future year.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment analysis of goodwill and intangible assets, realizability of deferred tax assets, allocation of the purchase price relating to acquisitions in accordance with acquisition accounting, and fair value of stock options and warrants.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.  At times, cash in banks may exceed federally insured limits.

NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company applies ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value, on a recurring basis.

ASC 820 provides that the measurement of fair value requires the use of techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.  The inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Observable inputs based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The assets or liabilities fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The interest rate swap (See Note 6) has a fair value of $481,661 and $288,654 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company’s fair value measurements for the interest rate swap are designated as Level 2.

NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Sparkflow
 
In July 2015, the Company acquired Spark Flow LLC, owner of a rich media platform, in exchange for cash consideration of $3,000,000 with an additional $3,000,000 of earn-out payments to be made over a two year period subsequent to closing upon the achievement of certain milestones with a fair value of $2,368,000 at the date of acquisition. An additional payment for $1,200,000 was paid by the Company to terminate an exclusive contract that Spark Flow LLC was obligated under which is recorded on the consolidated statements of operations under other operating expense.

The purchase price was allocated to acquired technology of $2,402,000, a trade name for $34,000, and goodwill of $2,932,000.  The intangible assets are valued using the income approach.  Under the income approach, the technology was valued using the relief from royalty method and the customer relationship was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method.  The goodwill recognized in the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into an Outsourced Development Agreement and a Reseller Agreement (the “Agreement”) with entities controlled by the founders of Spark Flow LLC.  The outsourced development agreement requires monthly payments of $60,000 per month, a total of $1,000,000 of bonus payments payable over an eighteen month period after the close of the acquisition, as well as 200,000 warrants that will vest over four years, in exchange for service connected with the future design and development of the rich media platform. The Agreement provides the reseller with the ability to sell subscriptions to the rich media platform for a five year period in certain exclusive territories, and the Company will receive 40% of the revenues generated by the reseller.  The Agreements are cancelable which may accelerate the timing of the payment of the earn-out and bonus payments.

(the “Banks”), which provided the Company with a $60,000,000 term loan, a $45,000,000 revolving credit facility, and a $3,000,000 swing line of credit.  The term loan accrues interest at a base margin of 1.75%, 2.00%, 2.25%, or 2.50%, depending on debt to EBITDA ratios, plus the greatest of (a) the prime rate for such day, (b) the Federal Funds effective rate in effect on such day, plus 1.0%, and (c) the Daily Adjusting LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. At September 30, 2015, the interest rate was 3.69%. In accordance with ASC 470, this amendment was accounted for as a modification of debt and the remaining unamortized loan costs are amortized over the life of the amended credit agreement.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company withdrew an additional $8,000,000 from its revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had an outstanding balance on the Amended Credit Agreement of $57,750,000.  In addition, at September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt financial covenants.

Scheduled principal payments for the next five years on the outstanding credit facility balance as of September 30, 2015 are as follows:

2015
  $ 750,000  
2016
    3,000,000  
2017
    3,000,000  
2018
    3,000,000  
2019
    48,000,000  
         
Total
  $ 57,750,000  

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, loan fees of $1,666,656 of $1,884,492, respectively, are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Amortization expense related to loan fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, was $337,836 and $212,753 respectively.

In March 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Comerica Bank against the variability in future interest payments due on the term loan.  The terms of the swap agreement, effectively converts the variable rate portion of the interest payments due on $13,750,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 0.63% through April 2016.  In addition, effective July 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Comerica Bank against the variability in future interest payments due on the term loan.  The terms of the swap agreement, effectively converts the variable rate portion of the interest payments due on $44,718,750 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 1.16% through July 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, interest expense amounted to $1,610,287 and $1,488,972, respectively.

Leases

The Company leases office spaces for its headquarters and other locations under the terms of non-cancelable operating leases expiring on various dates through 2022. These lease agreements contain escalation clauses and provisions for the payment of taxes and operating expenses.

A schedule of the future minimum lease payments required under these non-cancelable operating leases at September 30, 2015 is as follows:

2018
    3,475,891  
2019
    1,301,963  
Thereafter
    2,538,360  
         
Total
  $ 15,501,356  

The Company is recognizing the total cost of its operating leases ratably over the lease period. The cumulative difference between rent paid and that expensed is reflected as deferred rent.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $1,144,514 and $1,299,910, respectively, in outstanding letters of credit to secure its office space leases. The letters of credit are scheduled to mature upon expiration of the leases between 2015 and 2021.

In December 2014, the Company determined that additional leased space taken in February 2014 has no future economic benefit as well as being commercially available and is actively seeking a sub-lessee. The Company has not entered into an agreement with a sub-lessee.

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) (CONT.)

Calculating stock-based compensation requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based awards and stock price volatility.  The Company estimates the volatility of the common stock on the date of grant based on the historic volatility of comparable companies in the industry. The Company estimates the expected life of stock options granted based on the simplified method, which the Company believes, is representative of future behavior. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Compensation costs associated with the stock options is classified in each of the expense categories as follows:

Concurrently with the closing the Company's term loan with an outstanding principal balance of $57,000,000 was repaid and the Company entered into a new credit agreement with the existing Undertone lenders for $50,000,000.  The new credit agreement expires on November 29, 2019, interest on the agreement is at LIBOR plus 5.50% or the prime rate plus 4.50%, and is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.  At November 30, 2015, $50,000,000 was outstanding under the new credit facility.

The credit agreement is not guaranteed by Perion, but it is secured by a pledge on Perion's indemnification rights under the acquisition agreement.
 
Following the closing of the acquisition, Corey Ferengul, CEO of Undertone, joined Perion's executive management team. In addition, Robert Schwartz, the Vice President of Business Development of Undertone, became Perion’s Chief Strategy Officer, in place of Michael Waxman-Lenz, who became the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through March 24, 2016, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
