2. Financial position

A. Statement of Financial Position as at March 31, 2015

Cash and cash equivalents, Marketable securities held for trading and Short-term Deposits - these items amounted to a total of USD 16,305 thousand as at March 31, 2015 compared to USD 15,347 thousand as at December 31, 2014 and USD 15,070 thousand as at March 31, 2014. It is to be noted that, deposits at the amount of USD 1,003 thousand and USD 1,005 thousand, as at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively, were, previously, classified as Long-term deposits, and as such were then presented under the non-current assets.

Trade accounts receivable - these amounted to USD 4,698 thousand as at March 31, 2015 compared to USD 5,919 thousand as at December 31, 2014 and USD 3,969 thousand as at March 31, 2014. The increase in this item at the first quarter of 2015, compared to the same quarter last year and the decrease compared to the end of last year is explained mostly by correlation to sales volume changes in the periods near the report date.

Fixed assets - these amounted to USD 12,704 thousand as at March 31, 2015, compared to USD 12,084 thousand as at December 31, 2014 and USD 12,469 thousand as at March 31, 2014. The increase in this item at the first quarter of 2015, compared to December 31, 2014, resulted mainly from purchasing the industrial realestate property in England (see 1B above).

Liabilities to bank and others (Current & Non-current Liabilities) - amounted to a total of USD 1,922 thousand as at March 31, 2015, compared to USD 2,132 thousand as at December 31, 2014 and USD 3,348 thousand as at March 31, 2014. As at March 31, 2015 these liabilities comprised of a 10 year bank loan in the amount of USD 1,713 thousand (out of which USD 229 thousand are presented as current liabilities) against a mortgage on the real estate property, repayable in monthly payments starting November 2012.

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 quarter of 2015 went up by 12.8% compared to average rate of first quarter 2014 and went up by 10.3% compared to average rate of year 2014. The increase in this rate reflects a decrease in the above-mentioned costs when they are presented in USD.

Sales revenues - The Group's sales revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 were USD 6,185 thousand compared with USD 5,295 thousand in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase in sales in the first quarter of 2015 resulted mainly from a ramp up in some maturing projects.

Gross profit - The Group's gross profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 amounted USD 2,230 thousand (36% of sales) compared with USD 1,719 thousand (32% of sales) in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase in the gross profit relates mainly due to decrease in labor costs (see general note above) and also due to optimizing production efficiency.

Finance expenses, net - The Group's Finance expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 amounted USD 83 thousand compared with USD 11 thousand in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase in these expenses resulted mainly from exchange rate differences.

The following table presents the financial ratios in the Statement of Financial Position:

B. Operating activities

Cash flows generated from operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 amounted USD 1,067 thousand, compared with USD 398 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase in this cash flows resulted mostly from the increase in the net profit as well as from other changes, in trade accounts receivable and in trade payables.

C. Investing activities

Cash flows generated from investing activities in the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, amounted USD 2,349 thousand, compared with USD 225 thousand in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015 the cash flows stemmed from proceeds of Short-term bank deposits.

3 Quick ratio calculation – (Current assets – Inventories) / Current liabilities

4. Financing sources

The Group financed its activities during the reported periods from its own resources and from a long term bank loan (taken during year 2012).

5. External factors effects

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 Company's salaries and other operating costs are fixed in NIS, therefore, the operating results of the Company are being affected.

Devaluation of the Euro(€) and Pound(£) in relation to the U.S. Dollar leads to a decrease in Group's assets in those currencies.

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.

6. Statement by senior management in accordance with article 12, § 2 (3°( of the Royal Decree per 14.11.2007

Pursuant to article 12 § 2(3°( of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007, David Yativ Chairman of the Board of Directors declares, on behalf of and for the account of Payton Planar Magnetics that, as far as is known to him,

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 March 31, 2015 and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period 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."

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Note 1 - General

Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd. ("the Company") was incorporated in December 1992. The address of the Company's registered office is 3 Ha'avoda Street, Ness-Ziona. The Company is a subsidiary of Payton Industries Ltd. (the "Parent Company"). The securities of the Company are registered for trade on the Euronext stock exchange in Brussels.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group as at March 31, 2015 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.

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, 2014 (hereinafter "annual financial statements"). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Group's Board of Directors on May 27, 2015.

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

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.

Note 4 - Fixed Assets

On March 09, 2015 Himag Planar Magnetics (hereinafter: "Himag Planar"), a fully owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased an industrial property in Gloucester, UK, same property Himag Planar used previously to rent. The property area is of 607m² and its total cost amounts to GBP 435 thousand (USD 663 thousand).

This purchase was financed by an intercompany loan, given by the Company to Himag Planar.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Note 5 - Financial Instruments

Fair value

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, deposits, derivative instruments, trade payables, other payables and liabilities to bank 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).

Marketable securities held for trading 208 - 208
Contingent consideration liability - 362 362

Further to Note 16E to the annual financial statements regarding commitments, contingent liabilities and liens, the fair value of contingent consideration liability is calculated 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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Note 5 - Financial Instruments (cont'd)

Fair value hierarchy (cont'd)

Significant unobservable inputs include the expected annual sales turnover and the discount rate (14%). The estimate of fair value will increase as the expected annual sales turnover increases and the discount rate decreases.

As at March 31, 2015 the fair value of the contingent consideration liability has decreased to USD 209 thousand, following a payment of USD 159 thousand referring to year 2014. On the other hand, an increase, that reflects the changes related to the time value of the liability, has been recognized as financing expenses in the statement of comprehensive income, in the amount of USD 6 thousand.

A change in one of the unobservable inputs will affect the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability as of March 31, 2015, as follows:

    1. A decrease of 5% in the discount rate will cause in an increase of USD 2 thousand.
    1. An increase of 5% in the expected annual sales turnover will cause in an increase of USD 7 thousand.

A change in these unobservable inputs at the same opposite rate will have the equal but opposite effect on the fair value of the contingent consideration liability.
