INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

To the shareholders of Antevenio, S.A.

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the consolidated annual accounts of Antevenio, S.A. (the Controlling Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the income statement, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the annual accounts, all prepared on a consolidated basis, for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the paragraph "Basis for Qualified Opinion", the accompanying consolidated annual accounts present, in all material aspects, a true and fair view of the net equity and the financial situation of the Group at 31 December 2017, and of the results of its operations and its cash flows, on a consolidated basis, for the period ended on that date, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRS) and the rest of the regulations reflected in the financial reporting framework applicable in Spain.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

In the year 2017 ANTEVENIO, S.A. and subsidiaries have not recorded any expense for the stock options plan detailed in note 15, given that it recorded the total expense, 675.000 euros, in the year 2016. This expense did not comply with the requirements set in the applicable regulations to be completely considered as expense for the year 2016, since said amount should be recorded according to the period established in said plan. Therefore, as of December 31, 2017, the epigraph of personnel expenses is understated by 292.860 euros and the Group result should decrease by the same amount, and the results of previous years should increase the amount of 528.750 euros. As the balancing entry of this expense is a rise in equity, it does not have any effect on the net equity of ANTEVENIO, S.A. and subsidiaries as of 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016. The audit report for the previous year included a qualified opinion on this same matter.

We have carried out our audit in accordance with the current Spanish standards for auditing accounts. Based on those standards, our responsibilities are set out below in the section Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated annual accounts of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated annual accounts in Spain, as required by the regulations governing the auditing of annual accounts. In this regard, we have not provided any services different to the audit of the annual accounts and no situations or circumstances have arisen that, based on the aforementioned regulations, might have affected the required independence in such a way that it could have been compromised.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained provides a sufficient and appropriate basis for our qualified opinion.

Key audit matters

The key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgement, were considered as the most significant risks of material misstatement in our audit of the consolidated annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

In addition to the issue described in the paragraph "Basis for Qualified Opinion", we have determined that the risks described below are the most significant risks considered in the audit that must be stated in our report.

Revenue Recognition

The revenue recognition is a significant area and susceptible to material misstatement, particularly at the end of the year in relation to its adequate cut-off.

As part of our audit procedures to mitigate this risk we have performed, among others, an evaluation of the controls on the revenue recognition process, tests of detail of a sample of income billed throughout the year 2017, analytical procedures on the movements of the period, carrying out an analysis on the credit notes issued after period end, obtaining external confirmations for a sample of customers outstanding balance and carrying out, when appropriate, alternative procedures through receipts for subsequent collection or documentation supporting the billing at the period end.

Goodwill Impairment

As indicated in note 5 of the consolidated annual accounts, the Group's consolidated assets includes Goodwill amounting to 10.219 thousand euros, broken down into five cash-generating units, corresponding to the subsidiaries that generate them. We have considered this area as relevant in our audit, given that in the impairment assessment of these goodwill are included projections of future cash flows prepared by the Group, including estimates of future sales and results, discount and growth rates estimated in perpetuity.

Our audit procedures have included, among others, the understanding of the Group's allocation process of the Goodwill to the corresponding cash generating units, the understanding of the Group's procedure to identify indications of impairment, as well as the understanding of the procedure followed by the Management to obtain the information that has served as the basis for the calculation of the recoverable value and the assumptions used. We have analysed the projections of cash flows made, and we have involved specialists from our firm in the review of aspects related to the valuation methodology used, in the mathematical review of the model and in the analysis of reasonableness of the most relevant hypotheses.

Other information: Consolidated Report of the Directors

The other information relates exclusively to the consolidated Report of the Directors for the period ended 31 December 2017. The directors of the controlling company are responsible for preparing this report, which does not form an integral part of the consolidated annual accounts.

Our audit opinion on the consolidated annual accounts does not cover the consolidated Report of the Directors. In accordance with the regulations governing the auditing of accounts, our responsibility regarding the consolidated Report of the Directors includes evaluating and reporting on the consistency of the consolidated Report of the Directors with the consolidated annual accounts, based on the knowledge of the Group obtained during our audit of those accounts, excluding any information different to that obtained as evidence during our audit. Furthermore, our responsibility includes evaluating and reporting on whether the content and presentation of the consolidated Report of the Directors meet the requirements of the applicable regulations. If, as a result of our work, we conclude that there are material misstatements, we are required to report that fact.

Grant Thornton

On the basis of the work performed, as described in the preceding paragraph, the information reflected in the consolidated Report of the Directors is consistent with that of the 2017 consolidated annual accounts, and, the content and presentation meet the requirements of the applicable regulations.

Responsibility of the directors concerning the consolidated annual accounts

The directors of the controlling Company are responsible for drawing up the attached consolidated annual accounts, so that they show a true and fair view of the net equity, the financial situation and the consolidated results of the Group, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRS) and the rest of the regulations reflected in the financial reporting framework applicable in Spain, and for such internal control that they consider necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated annual accounts that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

When drawing up the consolidated annual accounts, the directors of the controlling Company are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and the use of the going concern basis, unless the directors intend to liquidate the Group or to cease its operations, or whether there is no other realistic alternative.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated annual accounts.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated annual accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the current Spanish regulations for auditing accounts will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated annual accounts.

As part of an audit in accordance with current Spanish regulations for auditing accounts, we exercise our professional judgement and we maintain an attitude of professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated annual accounts, due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures to respond to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may imply collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, intentionally incorrect representations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors of the controlling Company.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors of the controlling Company's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, on the basis of the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention to this in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated annual accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Grant Thornton

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated annual accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated annual accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated annual accounts. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors of the controlling Company regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

From the matters communicated to the directors of the controlling Company, we determine those matters that were most significant in the audit of the consolidated annual accounts of the current period and are, therefore, the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulations prohibit public disclosure of the matter.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes that the Group shall recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. Based on the new criteria, a five step model shall be applied for recognition of revenue in order to determine the timing of recognition and the amount of revenue to be recognized:


20

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

  • Step 1: Identify the contract
  • Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract
  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price
  • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations
  • Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Based on the analysis performed as of the date of preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Group is still assessing the potential impact of these new requirements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 introduces a single approach for classification and measurement of financial assets based on the contractual cash flows and on the business model within which the financial instruments are held. In this regard, no significant impact has resulted from the analysis of the new classification criteria.

Similarly, IFRS 9 introduces a new impairment model based on expected credit loss instead of the incurred credit loss (based on objective evidence of impairment) model contained in IAS 39 "Financial instruments: recognition and measurement". The Group is still assessing the potential impact of these new requirements.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 Leases, which shall be first applied to financial years beginning on 1 January 2019, establishes that the lessee shall recognize (with certain exceptions for short-term and low value leases) an asset for the right-in-use and a liability for the future payment obligations incurred into. As of the date of presentation of these Financial Statements, the Group is still assessing the impact thereof. In this regard, non-cancellable minimum future payments are disclosed in Note 9.

With regards to the other standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB which are not yet effective, the Directors have assessed the potential impact of the future application of these standards and consider their coming into force will not have a significant effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

c) Fair presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared from the accounting records of the companies included in the Group and are presented in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards and applicable other provisions of the financial reporting legal framework under the applicable Spanish accounting legislation, in order to offer a fair image of the consolidated equity


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

and financial position of Antevenio, S.A., and of the consolidated results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Group during the year ended 31 December 2017.

The consolidated financial statements prepared by the Directors of the Parent Company will be subject to approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Parent Company, and are expected to be approved without modification.

d) Critical issues regarding the measurement and estimation of uncertainties

In the preparation of the attached Consolidated Financial Statements according to IFRS, the Directors of the Parent Company have used accounting estimates and assumptions to measure certain of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments obligations therein disclosed. The accounting estimates and assumptions having a more significant impact on these Consolidated Financial Statements have been separately addressed in different sections of this document:

  • The useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (Notes 4f and 4g). Determining useful life requires making estimates in connection with future technological developments and alternative uses for assets. There is a significant element of judgment involved in making technological development assumptions, since the timing and scope of future technological advances are difficult to predict. The assessment of eventual impairment losses on goodwill (note 4h). The decision to recognize an impairment loss involves developing estimates that include, among others, an analysis of the causes of the potential impairment, as well as its timing and expected amount. On an annual basis the Group assesses its relevant cash-generating units' performance to identify potential impairments; these assessments are based on risk-adjusted future cash flows discounted at the appropriate interest rates. Key assumptions used are disclosed in Note 5. The assumptions relating to risk-adjusted future cash flows and discount rates are based on business estimates and, accordingly, are inherently subjective in nature. Future events may lead to changes in the estimates made by Directors, with the resulting adverse impact on the Group's future results. Insofar as it has been deemed material, a sensitivity analysis of the impact of changes in the assumptions used and of the impact on the recoverable value of the relevant cash generating unit (CGU) has been disclosed.

  • The fair value of certain financial instruments y their eventual impairment (note 4j).

  • The recoverability analysis of trade receivables is based on past experience as adjusted to current events and circumstances that may have an impact on future recoverability.

21


22

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

  • The calculation of provisions, as well as the likelihood of occurrence and the amount of indeterminate or contingent liabilities (note 4n).

  • Forecasts of future taxable profits that make the recovery of deferred tax assets likely (note 4p). The Group assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on estimates of future earnings. Such recoverability ultimately depends on the Group's ability to generate taxable earnings over the period for which the deferred tax assets remain deductible. Future events may lead to changes in the estimates made by Directors, with the resulting adverse impact on the Group's future results. This analysis is based on the estimated schedule for reversing deferred tax liabilities.

  • Determination of fair value at acquisition date of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations (Note 26).

These estimates were made based on the best information available at the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements, on past experience and on other various factors that were then considered material. However, the actual final results may differ from those estimates. Any future event not known at the date of preparation of these estimates could result in changes (upwards or downwards), which would, when appropriate, applied prospectively.

e) Classification of current and non-current items

For the classification of the current items, a maximum period of one year from the date of these consolidated financial statements has been applied.

f) Correction of errors

In 2017, the Antevenio Group has recorded a correction of errors for the inaccurate invoices issued to a client since 2011, which, based on past estimates made, amounted to 116,586 euros.

Based on the aforementioned correction of errors, the Company has restated the figures from the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. The following items have been affected:

Financial Statement Line Item Balance presented at 31/12/2016 Restatement Restated balance at 31/12/2016
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Trade and other receivables 7,903,729 -116,586 7,787,143
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Reserves from fully consolidated companies 3,619,304 -116,586 3,502,719

23

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

The Group considers that the impact was not material in the context of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, accordingly, has reclassified the comparative figures but does not present a third statement of financial position as of the beginning of 2016.

g) Comparative information

The Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 include, for comparison purposes, the figures for 2016 presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2016 approved by the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders, held on 28 June 2017, which have also been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union. Accordingly, the accounts from prior periods are comparable and homogeneous. However, with regards to the figures for 2016, upon restatement thereof as stated in the preceding section, for a better understanding thereof the Directors have considered that a greatest level of detail was required in the statement of financial position.

On 22 June 2017 the Group acquired 51% of shares in React2Media, LLC, a company with registered address in the United States, thereby obtaining control over it.

As a result, React2Media, LLC, is included in the consolidation perimeter of the Group as from 22 June 2017 as a fully consolidated company. The main resulting impacts are disclosed in Note 26.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS / LOSS PER SHARE

Basic earnings/loss per share

Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the consolidated profit/loss attributable to the Parent Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial year, excluding the average number of treasury shares held during the period.

Diluted earnings/loss per share

Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated similarly to the basic profit/loss per share, but the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased with stock options, warrants and convertible bonds.


24

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

Calculation of earnings/loss per share is shown below:

31/12/2016 31/12/2017
Net profit/(loss) for the year 2,097,203 2,338,309
Weighted average number of outstanding shares 4,009,147 4,009,147
Basic earnings per weighted average number of shares 0.52 0.58

During the presented periods, the Group did not execute any transaction causing dilution; accordingly, basic earnings/loss per share matches diluted earnings/loss per share.

The proposed distribution of profits obtained by the Parent Company in 2017 will be submitted by the Directors of the Parent Company to the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders, which is as follows:

Basis of distribution
Profit and loss (profit) 2,957,658
Total 2,957,658
Application
To offset prior periods' losses 11,009
Voluntary reserves 2,946,649
Total 2,957,658

The Annual General Meeting held on 28 June 2017 approved the following distribution of 2016 profit of the Parent Company:

Basis of distribution
Profit and loss (loss) (11,009)
Total (11,009)
Application
Prior period's losses (11,009)
Total (11,009)
  • Distribution of dividends:

On 13 September 2017 the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved the distribution of a dividend, charged against voluntary reserves, of 0.30 euro per share, amounting to a total of 1,202,744.10 euro that have entirely been paid out.


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The main accounting policies applied by the Group in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 were as follows:

a) Consolidation methods

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the Parent Company and all the subsidiaries over which the Group has control. Subsidiaries are those companies over which the Parent Company or any of its subsidiaries have control. Control is established by:

  • Power over the investee;
  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.

Subsidiaries are consolidated even if acquired for disposal.

Any balances, transactions, and gains and losses realized between Group companies included within the Group's continuing operations are subsequently eliminated in the consolidation process. Transactions between continuing and discontinuing operations expected to continue after disposal are not eliminated from continuing operations in order to present continuing operations consistently with the commercial operations they carry out.

Associates, companies over which the Group has a significant influence but over which it has no control, and jointly-controlled entities ("joint ventures"), where companies are entitled to the joint arrangement's net assets, have been consolidated using the equity method, except when these investments are eligible to be classified as held-for-sale. Any gains or losses resulting from transactions between Group companies and associates or jointly-controlled entities have been eliminated in proportion to the Group's interests in those companies. When the Group's share in the losses of a company consolidated using the equity method exceeds the amount of the Group investment, the Group recognizes a provision for its share of losses in excess of the investment. The value of the investment in any investee consolidated using the equity method is equal to the carrying amount of the equity investment and any other non-current interest that form an essential part of the net investment in the investee.

When control over a subsidiary is lost as a result of a transaction, event or any other circumstance, the Group derecognizes all the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at their carrying amount and recognizes the fair value of consideration received. Retained interests in the former subsidiary are recognized at fair value as

25


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

at the date when control over it was lost. Any resulting difference is recognized as a gain or loss under “Other Income (Expense)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled entities are referred to the financial year ended on the same date of the Parent Company's separate financial statements, and have been prepared applying consistent accounting policies (EU-IFRS).

b) Uniformity of line items

The different line items in the separate financial statements of each Group company have been subject to the appropriate measurement uniformity by adapting the criteria used to those used by the Parent Company (Antevenio, S.A.) for its own financial statements, provided they involve a significant effect.

No unification of timing is required as all the companies included in the attached Consolidated Financial Statements have their year end date on 31 December 2017.

c) First consolidation difference

The first consolidation difference was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the investment in the subsidiaries and the value of the proportional share of the investees' consolidated equity on the date of first consolidation.

In the case of a positive consolidation difference, corresponding to the excess of the cost of the investment and the attributable carrying amount of the investee at the date of joining the Group, the difference is allocated directly, to the extent possible, to assets of the subsidiary without exceeding the market value thereof. When the difference cannot be allocated to assets, it is considered as consolidation goodwill that shall be annually subject to the relevant impairment test (see Note 4 h).

Negative consolidation differences are recognized in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, and relate to the negative difference between the carrying amount of the parent Company's direct investment in the capital of the subsidiary and the value of the proportional share in the investee's equity attributable to the investment on the date of initial consolidation.

d) Translation differences

In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, items relating to consolidated companies whose functional

26


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

currency is not the euro have been translated to euro using the following criteria:

  • Assets, liabilities, income and expenses (excluding equity): at the exchange rate at the end of each year
  • Items in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account: at the average exchange rate of the financial year.
  • Equity at the historical exchange rate.

The differences resulting from the application of different exchange rates, in accordance with criteria above, are recognized under the "Translation Differences" in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

e) Transactions between companies included in the consolidation perimeter

As prior step to preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Directors have proceeded to eliminate all balances and transactions between Group companies, as well as any gains or losses obtained or incurred in by such companies as a result of the aforementioned transactions.

f) Intangible assets

In general, intangible assets are always recognized when they comply with the identifiability criterion and are initially measured at their acquisition or production cost, less accumulated amortization and, where appropriate, impairment losses. In particular, the following criteria are applicable:

Industrial property

Industrial property relates to capitalized development costs for which the relevant patents, etc. have been obtained, and includes the costs of registration and formalization of industrial property and those of acquisition of the rights from third parties. Industrial property is amortized on a straight-line basis throughout its useful life, at an annual rate of 20%.

Computer software

The licenses for computer software acquired from third parties or internally developed computer software are recognized as intangible assets on the basis of the costs incurred in acquiring or developing them, and preparing them for use.

Computer software is amortized on a straight-line basis throughout its useful life, at an annual rate of 25%.

27


28

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

Any maintenance costs relating to computer applications incurred into during the year are recognized in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.

g) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recognized at acquisition or production cost and less any accumulated depreciation and, where appropriate, impairment losses.

Indirect taxes on property, plant and equipment are included in the acquisition price or production cost only when they are not directly recoverable from Tax Authorities.

The costs of expansion, modernization or improvements leading to increased productivity, capacity or efficiency, or to an extension of the useful lives of the assets are recognized as an increased cost thereof. Upkeep and maintenance expenses are charged to the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account for the relevant year.

The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis. The useful life and depreciation rates applied are as follows:

Annual Percentage Estimated Years of Useful Life
Other installations 20 5
Furniture 10 10
Computer Hardware 18 5.71
Motor vehicles 25 4
Machinery 20 5
Other property, plant and 20-10 5-10

Investments made by the Group in leased premises, which are not separable from the leased asset, are amortized over their useful life which corresponds to the lesser of the duration of the lease, including renewal period when there is evidence to support that it will occur, and the economic life of the asset.

h) Goodwill

Goodwill may only be recognized as an asset when it arises from an onerous acquisition in a business combination.

Goodwill is allocated between all the company's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination and, where appropriate, an impairment is recognized (see Note 4 i).

Subsequent to initial recognition thereof goodwill is measured at purchase price less, where appropriate, the accumulated amount of any recognized impairment.


29

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

The Company shall assess at least at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that any cash-generating units to which goodwill had been allocated may be impaired, and, where any such indication exists, the Company shall verify the eventual impairment thereof pursuant to Note 4i). Impairment recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent reporting periods.

i) Impairment of intangible assets; property, plant and equipment, and consolidation goodwill.

An impairment loss in the value of intangible assets or property, plant and equipment occurs when their carrying amount exceeds their recoverable value, the latest understood as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the calculation of the recoverable value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the value in use is the criterion used by the Group.

To these purposes, at least at year end, the Group assesses, using the so-called "impairment test", whether there is evidence that any intangible assets or property, plant and equipment with indefinite useful life, or, where applicable, any cash-generating unit may be impaired; if so the Company proceeds to estimate the recoverable amount thereof applying the corresponding value adjustments. A cash-generating unit (CGU) is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash flows that are largely independent of those derived from other assets or groups of assets.

The impairment of property, plant and equipment is calculated individually. However, when the recoverable amount of each individual asset cannot be determined, the Company proceeds to establish the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the relevant asset is associated.

The procedure implemented by the Group management for determining the impairment is as follows:

For estimating value in use, the Group management annually prepares a business plan by markets and activities for each cash-generating unit, these business plans typically extend over a five-year period. The main components of this plan are the projections of income and cash flows.

Other variables that influence the calculation of the recoverable amount are:

  • The discount rate to be applied, estimated between 10% and 12%, this percent depends of Geographic area; the main variables that influence the calculation are the cost of the liabilities and the specific risks of the assets.

30

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

  • The growth rate of the cash flows used were established based on each company and each geographic market.

The projections are prepared based on past experience as well as the best available estimates, which are consistent with the information from external sources.

The five years strategic plan for the Group companies is approved by the Directors of the Parent Company.

At the close of financial year ended 31 December 2017, no circumstances have arisen that may imply changes to the assumptions used and conclusions reached by the Group at year-end 2016.

Should the company need to recognize an impairment loss for a cash-generating unit to which all or part of goodwill has been allocated, it shall first reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with that unit. If impairment exceeds the amount of goodwill, the company shall then reduce the remaining assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro rata basis based on their carrying amounts. The carrying amount of each asset may not be reduced below the higher of its fair value less costs to sell, its value in use or zero. Impairment losses shall be recognized in the income statement as an expense.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed (a circumstance that is not permitted in the specific case of goodwill), the carrying amount of the relevant asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable value, insofar as the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or the cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.

j) Leases and other transactions of similar nature

Financial leases are classified by the Group as transactions by which the lessor transfers substantially the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee, registering the rest as operational leases.

In the finance lease operations in which the Group acts as a lessor, the Group records an asset in the balance sheet according to the nature of the asset under contract and a liability in the same amount, which is the lower between the fair value of the leased good and the current value of the agreed minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease, including the price of the purchase option. Finance leases do not include contingent rents, the cost of services and taxes that may be passed on by the lessor. The finance charge is recognized in the


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

Consolidated Profit and Loss Account for the reporting period in which it is accrued, using the effective interest method. Contingent rents are expensed in the reporting period in which they are accrued.

Assets recorded for this type of operations are depreciated using similar criteria to those applied to tangible (or intangible) assets a whole, depending upon their nature.

Expenses arising from operating leases are recognized in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account for the year when they accrue.

Similarly, the acquisition cost of the leased asset is presented in the balance sheet according to its nature, increased by the amount of the costs directly attributable to the contract, which are expensed in the period of the contract, applying the same criteria used for the recognition of lease income.

k) Financial Instruments

k.1 Financial Assets

Financial assets held by the Company are classified for measurement purposes in the following categories:

k.1.1) Loans and receivables

These correspond to loans for commercial or non-commercial transactions, arising from the sale of goods, deliveries of cash or the provision of services with fixed or determinable payments that are not traded in an active market.

Loans and receivables are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration given plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost, and the interests accrued are recognized in the Income Statement using the effective interest rate method.

Nevertheless, trade receivables with a maturity not exceeding one year and not having a contractual interest rate are initially measured at their nominal value, provided that the effect of not discounting the cash flows is not material, in which case they will be subsequently measured at that amount unless they have been impaired.

Impairment losses shall be used be measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate calculated upon initial

31


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

recognition. Impairments are recognized in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or have been transferred, provided that substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Conversely, financial assets are not derecognized and a financial liability is recognized for the amount of the consideration received, in transfers whereby the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership such as discounted bills.

k.2 Financial Liabilities

A financial liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contract or any agreement pursuant to the provisions thereof.

Debts and payables arising from the purchase of goods and services in the ordinary course of the business or non-trade receivables are initially measured at fair value of the consideration received, adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs. Nonetheless, trade payables falling due within one year for which there is no contractual interest rate are measured at their nominal amount, provided that the effect of not discounting the cash flows is immaterial.

Debts and payables are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. Payables initially measured at the nominal amount, in accordance with the preceding paragraph, shall continue to be measured at that amount.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligations have been extinguished.

k.3 Guarantees extended and received

Cash flows from extended guarantees are not discounted as the effect thereof is immaterial. Current guarantees extended and received are measured at the amount disbursed.

k.4 Own equity instruments (treasury shares)

Treasury shares of the Parent Company acquired by the Group are recognized at the value of the consideration paid, as a reduction in the value of Equity. The proceeds arising from the purchase, sale, issue or redemption of own equity instruments are recognized directly in Equity, and under no

32


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

circumstances can they be recognized in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.

I) Foreign Currency

Line items included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of each Group company are measured in their respective functional currencies. The Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in euro, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Parent Company.

The companies included in the Group recognize in their individual financial statements:

  • Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency executed during the year at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction.
  • The balance of monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency (cash and items not losing value on realization) are measured at the exchange rates at year-end.
  • The balances of non-monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency are measured at the historical rates.

Any gains and losses from these line items are included in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.

m) Income Tax

Group companies with registered address in Spain paid in 2016 taxes under the Special Consolidated Tax Regime within the Group led by the Parent Company.

The Board of Directors informed, at the meeting held on 30 December 2016, that the company Inversiones y Servicios Publicitarios, S.L. ("ISP") owns a 83.09% interest in the share capital of Antevenio (see Note 13) and that, pursuant to the provisions of Article 61.3 of Law 27/2014, of 27 November, on Corporate Income Tax and having regard to the fact that Antevenio S.A. no longer was the parent company of taxation group 0212/2013 sin ISP had acquired an interest exceeding 75% of the share capital and voting rights in Antevenio, the Board had approved including the Company, effective from the taxation period beginning of 1 January 2017, as a subsidiary of taxation group 265/10, whose parent company is ISP.

Income tax expense for the year is calculated as the sum of current tax resulting from applying the corresponding tax rate to the taxable base for the year, net of any deductions and tax reliefs, and net of any changes registered during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Income Tax is recognized in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, except when it relates to transactions directly recognized

33


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

in Equity, in which case the related tax is also recognized in Equity.

Deferred taxes are recognized for any temporary differences existing at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. The tax base of an asset, liability or equity instrument is the amount attributed to that item for tax purposes. The tax effect of temporary differences is included under the appropriate headings of "Deferred tax assets" and "Deferred tax liabilities" in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences, except, where appropriate, for the exceptions provided in the existing regulations.

The Group recognizes deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that the Company will have future taxable profits that allow the recovery of these assets, except, where appropriate, for the exceptions provided in the existing regulations.

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses any recognized deferred tax assets and any previously unrecognized deferred tax assets. On the basis of this assessment, the Company proceeds to derecognize previously recognized deferred tax asset when recovery is no longer probable, or proceeds to recognize a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset if it is probable that the Company will have future taxable profits to enable its application.

Assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the rates expected to prevail upon their reversal, based on tax legislation in force and in accordance with the manner in which the assets are reasonably expected to be recovered or and liabilities settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and classified as non-current assets and liabilities, regardless of the date of realization or settlement. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the same tax jurisdiction are presented net.

Since the Consolidated group is member of a taxation group, the resulting payable/receivable amounts for Corporate Income Tax will not be directly settled with Public Entities, but will rather be settled with the parent company of the taxation group in which the Company is included.

n) Revenue and expenses

Antevenio Group specializes in performance and brand marketing. In order to become more responsive to the continuously changing on-line marketing industry, the Antevenio Group develops and markets its own technological solutions.

Revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, i.e. when the actual flow of goods and services they represent occurs, regardless of when the resulting

34


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

monetary or financial flow takes place.

Revenue from services is recognized when the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably, taking into account the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date. Revenue from the rendering of services shall only be recognized when all the following conditions have been satisfied:

a) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

b) It is probable that the Group will receive economic benefits or income derived from the transaction.

c) The stage of completion of the transaction, at the balance sheet date, can be measured reliably; and

d) The costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.

The Group reviews and, if necessary, revises the estimates of revenue as the service is being performed.

When the outcome of the transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably, revenue shall be recognized only to the extent of the expenses recognized that are recoverable.

o) Provisions and contingencies

The directors of the Parent Company, in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, distinguish between:

n.1) Provisions: liabilities that cover present obligations arising from past events, whose future settlement is likely to result in an outflow of resources, for which the amount and settlement date are uncertain.

n.2) Contingent liabilities: possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence is contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or several future events beyond the control of the Company.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include all the provisions for which the probability of having to meet the obligation is estimated as greater than the opposite alternative, and they are measured at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount required to settle or transfer the obligation to a third party. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements but are disclosed in the notes.

35


36

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

Provisions are measured on the balance sheet date at the present value of the best estimate of the amount required to settle or transfer the obligation to a third party; any adjustments made to update these provisions shall be recognized as a financial expense as it accrues. Provisions expiring within one year shall not be discounted where the financial effect is not material.

Reimbursements receivable from a third party on settlement of the obligation shall not reduce the amount of debt; the company shall nonetheless recognize the related receivable as an asset, provided that there is no doubt as to its collection.

p) Deferred Income

Non-refundable capital grants, as well as donations and bequests, are measured at the fair value of the amount awarded or the item received. Non-refundable capital grants, donations and bequest are initially accounted for as liabilities under "Deferred income" in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and recognized in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account proportionally to the depreciation of the assets financed by these grants, except in the case of non-depreciable assets that shall be recognized as income the year when their disposal or derecognition occurs.

Refundable grants are accounted for as either current or non-current liabilities (considering the term of repayment) convertible into grants until they meet the criteria for classification as non-refundable.

Operating grants are accounted for as income on an accrual basis.

q) Assets of environmental nature

Because of its activity, the Group has no significant assets of property, plant and equipment, intended to minimize environmental impact and, protecting and improving the environment and, has not received grants nor incurred in expenses during the year whose purpose is to protect and improve the environment. Furthermore, the Group has not made provisions for risks and expenses related to environmental actions, considering that there are no contingencies related to the protection and improvement of the environment.

r) Transactions between related parties

Transactions between related parties, irrespective of the type of relationship, are accounted for in accordance with the general standards. Therefore, as a general rule, items involved in a transaction will be initially measured at fair value. If the agreed transaction price were not the fair value, the difference shall be recognized based on the economic reality of the transaction. Subsequent measurement is performed in accordance with the applicable standards.


Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

s) Equity instruments-based payments

The goods or services received in these operations are recorded as assets or as expenses depending upon their nature, at the moment they are obtained, and the corresponding increase in equity, if the transaction is paid off with equity instruments or the corresponding liability, if the transaction is paid off with the amount based on the value of the same.

The transactions with employees settled with equity instruments, both services rendered as well as the increase in equity to be recognized are assessed according to the fair value of the granted equity instruments, referring to the date of approval of the granting.

The Company operates several remuneration plan for its Management consisting in the delivery of share options in Antevenio and which shall be settled in shares.

These plans are initially measured at fair value at grant date, applying a generally accepted financial calculation method that takes into account, inter alia, the option exercise price, the volatility, the time frame for exercising the options, the expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate.

Options are recognized as a personnel expense in the Profit and Loss Account as vested over the period defined as the minimum required time in the Company's employ for the exercise of the option, except for options granted in 2016 that have been entirely recognized at the initial date, in accordance with principle of prudence, as a personnel expense and an offsetting entry is simultaneously recognized directly in equity without reassessing the initial measurement thereof. Since the offsetting entry is an increase in own funds ("Other equity instruments"), there is no impact whatsoever on the Equity of Antevenio SA and its subsidiaries. However, at each Balance Sheet date the Company reassess its initial estimates on the number of options expected to become exercisable and, where appropriate, recognizes the impact of this reassessment in the Profit and Loss Account and makes the relevant adjustment in equity.

t) Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared using the indirect method, and uses the following expressions with the meaning specified:

37


38

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

  • Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the Group and other activities that are not investing or financing activities.
  • Investing activities are the acquisition, sale or disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.
  • Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the equity and liabilities that are not part of the operating activities.

u) Business combinations

At the acquisition date, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value, provided this can be measured reliably, subject to the following exceptions:

  • Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale are measured at fair value less costs to sell.
  • Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates expected to prevail upon their reversal, based on the existing or approved and pending publication regulations as of the date of acquisition. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
  • Assets and liabilities associated with long-term employee benefits under defined benefit schemes are accounted for at the acquisition date as the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of the plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled.
  • Intangible assets, the value of which cannot be measured in relation to an active market and would result in a recognition of income in the Profit and Loss Account have been deducted from the initially calculated negative goodwill.
  • Assets received as compensation for contingencies and uncertainties are recognized and measured in a manner consistent with the item causing the relevant contingency or uncertainty.
  • Reacquired rights recognized as an intangible asset are measured an amortized on the basis of their remaining term of the contract.
  • Obligations classified as contingent liabilities are recognized as a liability at fair value, provided that the liability is a present obligation that arises from past events and the fair value can be measured reliably, even when it is not

39

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will result from settlement of the obligation.

At acquisition date, the excess of the cost of the business combination over the value of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

When the value of the identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is accounted for as income in the Profit and Loss Account. Prior to recognizing the aforementioned income, the Company reassesses whether it has correctly identified and measured the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, as well as the cost of the combination.

Subsequently, any liabilities and equity instruments issued as cost of the relevant business combination and any identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be accounted for in accordance with the relevant recognition and measurement standards applicable to the nature of the transaction or to the nature of the relevant asset or liability.

NOTE 5. CONSOLIDATION GOODWILL

Based on the above mentioned criteria, the breakdown of consolidation goodwill is as follows:

31/12/2016 31/12/2017
Marketing Manager Servicios de Marketing, S.L. 276,461 276,461
Antevenio S.R.L. 3,686,847 3,686,847
Antevenio ESP, S.L.U. 81,027 81,027
Antevenio Publicite S.A.R.L. 2,269,585 2,269,585
React2Media, L.L.C. (see Note 26) - 3,905,134
Total Cost 6,313,920 10,219,054

Each of the above mentioned goodwill arose in the consolidation of the relevant company. The directors have defined each of these companies as a Cash Generating Unit since they are separate businesses operating in different markets.

For estimating recoverable value, the Group management annually prepares a business plan by markets and activities for each cash-generating unit, these business plans typically extend over a five-year period. The main components of this plan are the projections of income and cash flows.

The key assumptions used in these projections of future results and cash flows and that have an impact on calculation of the recoverable amount are:


40

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

  • The discount rate to be applied, estimated between 10% and 12%, this percent depends of geographic area; the main variables that influence the calculation are the cost of the liabilities and the specific risks of the assets.
  • Cash flow estimates are based on past performance, accordingly the assumptions used by Directors included estimated profit margins.
  • A perpetual growth rate of 1.4%, to reflect the industry's long-term average growth rate.

The projections are prepared based on past experience as well as the best available estimates, which are consistent with the information from external sources.

The five years strategic plan for the Group companies is approved by the Directors of the Parent Company.

At the close of financial year ended 31 December 2017, no circumstances have arisen that may imply changes to the assumptions used and conclusions reached by the Group at year-end 2016.

Sensitivity analysis

Directors consider that the key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount for the purposes of impairment tests, are not likely to suffer any reasonably possible change that may result in the carrying amount of any cash generating unit exceeding its recoverable amount.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS IN COMPANIES CONSOLIDATED USING THE EQUITY METHOD

Dated 14 October 2016, the company Europermission, S.L was dissolved, wound up and terminated in compliance with the resolution passed by the Extraordinary and Universal General Meeting of Shareholders held on 26 June 2016; accordingly the Europermission, S.L. left the consolidation perimeter.

NOTE 12. INFORMATION ON THE NATURE AND LEVEL OF RISK FROM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group's activities are exposed to various types of financial risks, particularly to credit, liquidity and market risks (exchange rate, interest rate and other price risks).

Interest Rate Risk

As disclosed in Note 16 below, the subsidiary Código Barras Networks, S.L.U. was granted by Centro de Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (CDTI), a zero-interest loan as contribution to the development of the Research and Development project called "Extractor and automatic data classifier for virtual stores on the Web."

As disclosed in Note 16, the subsidiary Mamvo Performance, S.L. was granted a loan by Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (CDTI) on a subsidised interest rate, as collaboration in the development of the Research and Development project called "New System of Personalised Digital Advertising through Machine Learning Techniques and through Advanced Algorithms for Data Processing."

Additionally, as previously stated under note 11.1, the company Readt2Media has at 31 December 2017 a credit facility granted by the financial institution CHASE, bearing interest at 8.12% + LIBOR and with a credit limit of USDm 7.5, of which EURk 124 had been drawn.

Based on all the foregoing, the Group's external financing needs are limited, and a change in the interest rate of the debt to the financial institution CHASE would not be significant. Accordingly, as at the date hereof, the Group has not entered into interest rate hedging transactions.

Exchange rate risk

The Group tries to finance foreign currency-denominated non-current assets in the same currency in which the asset is denominated. This is particularly true in the case of acquisitions of companies with assets denominated in currencies other than the euro.

At 31 December 2017, net losses arising from foreign exchange differences amounted to 19,815 euros (net gains amounting to 116,102 euros at 31 December 2016).


49

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

Liquidity Risk

The Group permanently pays attention to the evolution of the different factors that can help to resolve liquidity crisis and, in particular, to the funding sources and their characteristics.

In particular, we can summarize the points which are our main focus of attention:

  • Liquidity of monetary assets: surplus is always invested on highly available and very short maturities. At December 31, 2017, the amount of cash and cash equivalents is 5,376,101 euro (6,852,272 euro at 31 December 2016).
  • The working capital is positive at 31 December 2017 amounting to 5,848,167 euro (6,894,409 euro at 31 December 2016).

Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, exposure being spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

The Group's main financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and investments which represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.

The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position includes the amounts, net of provisions for insolvencies, estimated by the Group's management based on prior years' experience and their assessment of the current economic scenario.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, exposure being spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

Competition Risk

In an industry constantly evolving and offering high growth rates, new players have entered the markets where Antevenio operates. However, given the experience of over fifteen years in this market, the position and visibility of the Antevenio Group and the quality of our services, Directors believe the Group will continue holding a leading position.

Customer and Supplier Dependency Risk

The risk of dependency on customers and suppliers is limited because none bears significant weight in the turnover.

Customers include media agencies that work in turn with many advertisers, which further dilutes the customer dependency risk.


50

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

With regard to technology providers, the risk is small because the services provided by these companies are offered by other actors competing with them and which could, therefore, provide Antevenio with similar services.

"Key-Person" Risk

One of the Antevenio Group main assets is that the Group was able to gather a team of managers and key executives in strategic positions of the Group.

Personal Data Processing Risk

In ordinary course of its business, Antevenio Group performs a number of personal data processing both as Data Processor and as Data Comptroller.

Antevenio Group is deeply aware of the importance of the regulations governing personal data, electronic communications, privacy and commercial communications, and uses all available means to achieve a scenario of utmost compliance therewith.

The legal framework governing the company's business and its operations is formed by the following regulations:

1) Organic Law 15/1999, of 13 December, on Personal Data Protection (in force, at least, until 25 May 2018).

2) Royal Decree 1720/2007, of 21 December, approving the Implementing Regulations of Organic Law 15/1999, of 13 December, on Personal Data Protection (in force, at least, until 25 May 2018).

3) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation).

4) Draft Organic Law on Personal Data Protection.

5) Law 34/2002, of 11 July, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce.

6) Proposal, dated 10 January 2017, for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the respect for private life and the protection of personal data in electronic communications and repealing Directive 2002/58/EC (Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications).

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

7) Guides, guidelines and other relevant materials issued by the Spanish Data Protection Agency and the so-called Article 29 Working Group on Data Protection.

Antevenio Group is currently in the process of adaptation to the existing and upcoming regulations, by way of the creation and implementation of privacy management system (PMS) and the permanent monitoring thereof by the Legal and Privacy team.

Antevenio S.A. and Subsidiaries Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 June 2017

classifier for virtual stores on the Web." Of the amount received, 15% was non-refundable and was therefore recognized as capital grants.

Regarding the zero-interest loans, an interest-rate subsidy was recognized as the difference between the amount received and the fair value of the debt, determined by the actual value of payments due discounted at market rate.

In 2013, the Company recognized the impairment of intangible assets associated with this zero-interest loan due to technological obsolescence, and adjusted accordingly the amounts pending to be taken to income from both from the capital grant and the interest-rate subsidy by recognizing an income under "Other income" in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.

During 2015, the company Mamvo Performance, S.L. was granted a loan from Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (CDTI) on a subsidized interest rate as collaboration in the development of the Research and Development project called "New System of Personalized Digital Advertising through Machine Learning Techniques and Advanced Algorithms for Data Processing." for a total amount of 563,178 Euros, comprising a non-refundable tranche amounting to 99,379 Euros and a refundable tranche amounting to 463,768 Euros as subsidized interest rate loan.

In 2016, 99,379 Euros recognized under "Other income" in the Profit and Loss Account related to the non-refundable tranche of the grant awarded to Mamvo Performance, S.L., as the necessary expenses were completed for which the grant had been awarded.

NOTE 26. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On 22 June 2017 the Parent Company has completed the acquisition of 51% of the shares in the US company React2Media, L.L.C for a consideration of 2,250,000 dollars (2,022,275 euros); the entire amount of the consideration was paid to the counterparty on 23 June 2017. This company will thereafter be included within the consolidation scope and fully consolidated.

React2Media, L.L.C has its registered address at 35 W 36th St, New York, NY 10018, USA; and its corporate purpose is the provision of a comprehensive service of online advertising networks, offering a complete array of interactive marketing opportunities to media agencies, direct advertisers and editors. The main reason supporting the acquisition is the entry of Antevenio Group in the United States market drawing on the market position and knowledge of the investee. Antevenio Group intends to provide the investee with its other business lines in order to generate positive synergies.

Both the Group and the selling shareholders have mutually granted themselves unconditional put option rights and call option rights over the remaining 49% shares in the investee, which may be exercised within the same term and for the same amount. These options have a floating price based on certain parameters relating to the investee's performance over financial years 2018, 2019 and 2020; however, total acquisition value may not exceed 8.5 million dollars (of which 2.25 million dollars have already been paid for the acquisition of 51% of shares). Sale price is subject to the fulfilment of certain continuance conditions by the sellers.

In accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards and based on the existence of cross put and call options with the same value and the same exercise period, the transaction has been treated as an early acquisition of a non-controlling interest pursuant to the requirements of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, which provides that a contractual obligation to deliver cash to another entity is a financial liability.

The amount recognized at 31 December 2017 as a financial liability relates to the best estimate, as of the date of preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements, of the expected amount to be paid; the fair value of this financial liability has been measured at 1.94 million Euros, recognized under "Other non-current liabilities".

Consolidated Management Report of Antevenio, S.A. and subsidiaries - Financial Year 2017

React2Media, L.L.C has its registered address at 35 W 36th St, New York, NY 10018, USA; and its corporate purpose is the provision of a comprehensive service of online advertising networks, offering a complete array of interactive marketing opportunities to media agencies, direct advertisers and editors. The main reason supporting the acquisition is the entry of Antevenio Group in the United States market drawing on the market position and knowledge of the investee. Antevenio Group intends to provide the investee with its other business lines in order to generate positive synergies.

Both the Group and the selling shareholders have mutually granted themselves unconditional put option rights and call option rights over the remaining 49% shares in the investee. These options have a floating price based on certain parameters relating to the investee's performance over financial years 2018, 2019 and 2020; however, total acquisition value may not exceed 8.5 million dollars (of which 2.25 million dollars have already been paid for the acquisition of 51% of shares).

The ordinary income and profit/(loss) contributed by the investee during the period between the acquisition date, 22 June 2017, and 31 December 2017 were not material.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition has been allocated to the Cash Generating Unit relating to the investee's business and relates to the workforce and synergies resulting from Antevenio Group's entry in the United States market drawing on the investee to expand the Group's various business lines.

RISKS

The principal risks and uncertainties that the Antevenio Group could face are the following:

Competition Risk

In an industry constantly evolving and offering high growth rates, new players have entered the Spanish and Italians, the most important markets where Antevenio operates. However, given the experience of over ten years in this market, the position and visibility of Antevenio and the quality of our services, Directors believe the Company will continue to occupy a leading position.

Customer and Supplier Dependency Risk

The risk of dependency on customers and suppliers is limited because none bears significant weight in the turnover of Antevenio, S.A.

Customers include media agencies that work in turn with many advertisers, which further dilutes the customer dependency risk.

With regard to technology providers, the risk is small because the services provided by these companies are offered by other actors competing with them and which could, therefore, provide Antevenio with similar services.

"Key-Person" Risk

We believe that one of Antevenio's main assets lies in having been able to assemble a team of managers and key executives in the company's strategic positions.

Regulatory Risks

In ordinary course of its business, Antevenio Group performs a number of personal data processing both as Data Processor and as Data Comptroller.

Antevenio Group is deeply aware of the importance of the regulations governing personal data, electronic communications, privacy and commercial communications, and uses all available means to achieve a scenario of utmost compliance therewith.
