General Note: The Group is exposed to erosion of the USD in relation to the NIS and to the Euro. Most of the Group's salaries and other operating costs are fixed in NIS. Revaluation of the local Israeli currency drives to an increase in labor costs and other operating costs, thus, negatively affects the operating results of the Company. The average rate of the USD with relation to the NIS in the first half of 2013 went down by 3.4% compared to average rate of first half of 2012 and went down by 4.9% compared to average rate of year 2012. The decrease in this rate reflects an increase in the above-mentioned costs when they are presented in USD.

Sales revenues - The Group's sales revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 were USD 9,112 thousand compared with USD 9,036 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012.

Gross profit - The Group's gross profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 amounted USD 2,733 thousand (30% of sales) compared with USD 3,179 thousand (35% of sales) in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in the gross profit relates to the product-mix sold during the period and to the consolidation of Himag activities characterized by lower gross margins.

Selling & marketing expenses - The Group's selling & marketing expenses are mainly comprised of: (1) commissions to the Group's reps' and Marketing Personnel, which are calculated as a portion of sales and of (2) other selling expenses (fixed) based on management policy. The Group's marketing efforts are concentrated through participation in major power electronic shows around the world and by collaborating with its worldwide rep's Network.

The Group's Selling & marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to USD 1,016 thousand compared with USD 869 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in these expenses is mainly due to the incorporation of Himag Planar Magnetics starting 2013 and due to increase in other marketing expenses.

General& Administrative expenses - The Group's General & Administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to USD 1,361 thousand compared with USD 1,222 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in these expenses relates mainly to the incorporation of Himag Planar Magnetics administrative personnel starting 2013.

Other expenses, net - Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to USD 145 thousand. An amount of USD 129 thousand out of these expenses arising from the transfer to the new facility on May 2013.

Income Taxes - the tax expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 amounted to USD 34 thousand, whereas, tax income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 amounted to USD 722 thousand.

B. Operating activities

Cash flows used for operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 amounted USD 9 thousand, compared with cash flows generated from operating activities at the amount of USD 714 thousand for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2012.

4. Financing sources

The Group financed its activities during the reported periods from its own resources and from a long term bank loan.

5. External factors effects

  • 5.1 Revaluation/devaluation of the local Israeli currency in relation to the U.S. Dollar leads to an increase/decrease (respectively) in labor costs and other operating costs. Most of the Group's salaries and other operating costs are fixed in NIS, therefore, the operating results of the Company are being affected.
  • 5.2 Since the Company conducted the construction process of the industrial real-estate property, revaluation/devaluation of the local Israeli currency in relation to the U.S. Dollar lead to an increase/decrease (respectively) in the accumulated value of the building (fixed assets). All engagement with construction contractors are fixed in the local NIS, therefore costs allocated as fixed assets were affected.
  • 5.3 Devaluation of the Euro in relation to the U.S. Dollar leads to a decrease in company's assets in Euro.

To the best of the Board of Directors' and management's knowledge, except the above mentioned, there have been no significant changes in external factors that may materially affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Review Report to the Shareholders of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd. and its subsidiaries comprising of the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2013 and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six and three-month periods then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting."

Note 1 - General

Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd. ("the Company") was incorporated in December 1992.

In May 2013 the Company moved to its new premises located at 3 Ha'avoda Street, Ness-Ziona.

The Company is a subsidiary of Payton Industries Ltd. (the "Parent Company"). In June 1998, the Company completed its initial public offering in the Euro NM.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group as at June 30, 2013 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred as the "Group").

The Group develops, manufactures and markets planar and conventional transformers and operates abroad through its subsidiaries and distributors. Its manufacturing includes the manufacture of printed circuits.

Note 2 - Basis of Preparation

A. Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2012 (hereinafter "annual financial statements"). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Group's Board of Directors on August 28, 2013.

B. Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance to IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies

A. Except as described in B. hereunder, the accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its annual financial statements.

B. Initial application of new standards

(1) Amendment to IAS 19, Employee Benefits (hereinafter – "the Amendment")

As from January 1, 2013 the Group applies the amendment to IAS 19. The amendment to IAS 19 introduces a number of changes to the accounting treatment of employee benefits, including the recognition of all actuarial gains and losses immediately through other comprehensive income directly to retained earnings. Furthermore, the interest that is recognized in profit or loss will be calculated on the balance of the net defined benefit liability (asset), according to the discount rate that is used to measure the liability. In addition, employee benefits will be classified as short or long term depending on when the Group expects the benefits to be wholly settled.

Following application of the amended standard the Group immediately recognized the gains/losses from remeasurement of a defined benefit program directly to retained earnings instead of to profit or loss. Consequently, comparative figures have been restated as follows:

B. Intial application of new standards (cont'd)

(2) IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (hereinafter - "IFRS 10")

IFRS 10 introduces a new single control model for determining whether an investee should be consolidated, which is to be implemented with respect to all investees.

De facto power is to be considered when assessing control, which means that the existence of effective control of an investee will require consolidation.

When assessing the existence of control, all substantive potential voting rights will be taken into account, and not only potential voting rights that are currently exercisable.

IFRS 10 is applicable retrospectively (other than certain relief in the transitional provisions).

The application of IFRS 10 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

(3) IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (hereinafter - "IFRS 13")

On publication of IFRS 13 the disclosure requirements regarding fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements were expanded. IFRS 13 is applicable on a prospective basis where the disclosure requirements need not be applied in comparative information for periods before initial application.

The standard's requirements were included in these financial statements as part of Note 6 regarding financial instruments.

Note 4 - Acquisition of Other Business Activity

Further to Note 5B to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2012, a Purchase Price allocation ("PPA"), prepared by an external independent appraiser, has been completed.

The following summarizes the recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired based on the PPA (no adjustment is required to the amounts recognized in the financial statements as at December 31, 2012):

Note 5 - Material Events in the Reporting Period

A. Acquisitions and disposals of Fixed Assets

  • (1) The investment in fixed assets during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 amounted USD 4,825 thousand, most of which relates to investments in the real estate property (see Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2012). This investment includes acquisition of fixed assets on credit in the amount of USD 946 thousand.
  • (2) Assets with a carrying amount of USD 26 thousand were disposed of during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, some of which were abandoned following the move to the new facility. As a result, the Group recorded a capital loss in the amount of USD 16 thousand included in other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

B. As noted in Note 1, in May 2013 the Company moved to its new premises. Expenses incurred by the Company arising from the move to the new facility amounted to USD 129 thousand. These expenses are presented as part of other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

Note 6 - Financial Instruments

Fair value

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, other short-term investments, trade payables, other payables and liabilities to banks and others are the same or proximate to their fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments.
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
  • Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Note 6 - Financial Instruments (cont'd)

June 30, 2013
Level 1 Level 3 Total
\$ thousands \$ thousands \$ thousands
Marketable securities held for trading 969 - 969
Contingent consideration - 203 203

The fair value of contingent consideration is calculated at the time of the business combination using the income approach based on the expected payment amounts and their associated probabilities (i.e. probability-weighted). The liability is discounted to present value using the market interest rate at the reporting date.

Significant unobservable inputs include the expected annual sales turnover and the discount rate (16.6%). The estimate of fair value will increase as the expected annual sales turnover increases and the discount rate decreases.

As at June 30, 2013 the fair value of the contingent consideration has increased to USD 203 thousand, an increase that reflects the changes related to the time value of the liability since the date of acquisition. Therefore, the Group has recognized an amount of USD 3 thousand as financing expenses in the statement of income.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events

On July 30, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for the change in the order of National Priorities (Legislative amendments to achieve budget objectives for 2013 and 2014) - 2013. As part of the legislation Company Tax was increased to 26.5% as from January 1, 2014 and the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments was amended so that the tax rate applicable to a beneficiary enterprise in this period in Development Area A will be 9% and the tax rate in other parts of the country will be 16%. Similarly, it was determined that the tax rate on dividends distributed to individuals and foreign residents out of exempt income will be increased to 20% as from January 1, 2014 as opposed to the current rate of 15%. The increase in the tax rate will also be effective for dividends sourced out of tourism approved enterprises or agricultural approved enterprises (for those enterprises approved from January 1, 2014 and subsequently), and also to a tourism beneficiary enterprise whose exempt income was achieved during the benefit period starting in the elected year, being the 2014 tax year and subsequently.

Were the legislation to have been substantially enacted by June 30, 2013 the effect of the change on the financial statements as at June 30, 2013 would be reflected in an increase in deferred tax balances of USD 14 thousand. The adjustment in the deferred tax balances would have been recognized against deferred tax expenses.
