NOTE 2:-BASIS OF PREPERATION

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-months period and for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2018 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim financial reporting. The Interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2017 which were published on May 15, 2018.

  

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2018. The Group has not early adopted any standard or interpretation amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

NOTE 3:-NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP

 

The Group has been applied for the first time in these financial statements IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ and IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’. As required by IAS 34, the nature and effect of these changes are disclosed below. Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2018 but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

 

IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’

 

IFRS 15, issued by the IASB in May 2014, supersedes IAS 11 ‘Construction Contracts’, IAS 18 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ and related Interpretations and applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards.

 

The new standard establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer, including reference to contract combination and accounting for contract modifications.

Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price, including reference to variable consideration, significant financing components, non-cash consideration and any consideration payable to the customer.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis using observable information, if it is available, or using estimates and assessments.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied, either at a point in time or over time.

NOTE 3:-NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP (Cont.)

 

Under IFRS 15, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Group enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and software, IT services and hardware, as detailed below, which are generally capable as being distinct from each other and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

 

For contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations, the Group accounts for each individual performance obligation separately, if they are distinct from each other. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of software sales are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices of software and IT services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis.

 

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Group generates its revenues:

 

Sale of proprietary licenses without significant related services

 

In the event in which the sale of a proprietary license is distinct from other significant modification or implementation services, and thereby it constitutes a separate performance obligation, the Group considers whether this performance obligation in granting the license is to provide the customer with either:

 

a right to access the entity’s intellectual property in the form in which it exists throughout the licensing period; or
a right to use the entity’s intellectual property in the form in which it exists at the time of granting the license

 

The vast majority of licenses sold separately by the Group (thus representing a separate performance obligation) are intended to provide the customer with a right to use the intellectual property, which means revenues from the sale of such licenses are recognized at the point in time at which control of the license is transferred to the customer.

 

The Group recognizes revenue from software licensing transactions over time when the Group provides the customer a right to access the Group’s intellectual property throughout the license period.

NOTE 3:-NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP (Cont.)

 

Sale of proprietary licenses with significant related services

 

Revenues from contracts that include the sale of proprietary licenses with significant related services (for example, modifications, implementation or customization to customer-specific specifications) are generally accounted by the Group as performance obligations satisfied over time. In such contracts the Group is normally committed to provide the customer with a functional IT system and the customer can only benefit from such functional system, being the final product that would normally be comprised of proprietary licenses and significant related services. The Group considers that a commitment to sell a license under such performance obligation does not satisfy the criteria of being distinct, because the transfer of the license is only part of a larger performance obligation. The Group recognizes revenue from such contracts using cost based input methods, which recognizes revenue and gross profit as the work is performed based on a ratio between actual costs incurred compared to the total estimated costs for the contract. This is because, in accordance with IFRS 15, revenues may be recognized over time of transferring control of the supplied goods and services, as long as the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity, and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date throughout the duration of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made during the period in which such losses are first determined, in the amount of the estimated loss for the entire contract.

 

When appropriate, the Group also applies a practical expedient permitted under IFRS 15 whereby if the Group has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Group’s performance completed to date (for example, a service contract in which an entity bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided), the Group may recognize revenue in the amount it is entitled to invoice.

 

Deferred revenues, which represent a contract liability, include unearned amounts received under maintenance and support (mainly) and amounts received from customers for which revenues have not yet been recognized.

 

Maintenance services and warranties

 

Post contract support includes annual maintenance contracts providing for unspecified upgrades for new versions and enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis for an annual fee. The right for an unspecified upgrade for new versions and enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis do not specify the features, functionality and release date of future product enhancements for the customer to know what will be made available and the general timeframe in which it will be delivered.

 

The accounting policy regarding the recognition of Post contract support remained unchanged after the adoption of IFRS 15, as such services, in principle, constitute a separate performance obligation where the customer consumes the benefits of goods and services as they are delivered by the provider, as a consequence of which revenues are recognized over time during the service performance period.

 

The Group considers the post contract support performance obligation as a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time, and as such, it recognizes revenue for post contract support on a straight-line basis over the period for which technical support is contractually agreed to be provided to the software, typically twelve (12) months.

NOTE 3:-NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP (Cont.)

 

In certain cases, the Group also provides a warranty for goods and services sold (i.e. extended warranties that the scope of which is broader than just an assurance to the customer that the product/service complies with agreed-upon specifications). The Group has ascertained that such warranties granted by the Group meet the definition of service. The conclusion regarding the extended nature of a warranty is made whenever the Group contractually undertakes to repair any errors in the delivered software within a strictly specified time limit and/or when such warranty is more extensive than the minimum required by law. Under IFRS 15, the fact of granting an extended warranty indicates that the Group actually provides an additional service. As such, the Group recognizes an extended warranty as a separate performance obligation and allocates a portion of the transaction price to such service. In all cases where an extended warranty is accompanied by a maintenance service, which is even a broader category than an extended warranty itself, revenues are recognized over time because the customer consumes the benefits of such service as it is performed by the provider. If this is the case, the Group continues to allocate a portion of the transaction price to such maintenance service. Likewise, in cases where a warranty service is provided after the project completion and is not accompanied by any maintenance service, then a portion of the transaction price and analogically recognition of a portion of contract revenues will have to be deferred until the warranty service is actually fulfilled.

 

Sale of third-party licenses and services

 

Third-party licenses and services includes revenues from the sale of third-party licenses as well as from the provision of services which, due to technological or legal reasons, must be carried out by subcontractors (this applies to hardware and software maintenance and outsourcing services provided by their manufacturers). Revenues from the sale of third-party licenses are accounted for as sales of goods, which means that such revenues are recognized at the point in time at which control of the license is transferred to the customer. Concurrently, revenues from third-party services, including primarily third-party maintenance services, are recognized over time when such services are provided to the customer.

 

Whenever the Group is involved in the sale of third-party licenses or services, it will consider whether the Group acts as a principal or an agent; however, in most cases the conclusion is that the Group is the main party required to satisfy a performance obligation and therefore the resulting revenues are recognized in the gross amount of consideration

 

Sale of hardware

 

Sale of hardware includes revenues from contracts with customers for the supply of infrastructure. In this category, revenues are recognized basically at the point in time at which control of the equipment is transferred. This does not apply to contracts in which the hardware is not delivered separately from services provided alongside, in such case the sale of hardware is part of a performance obligation involving the supply of a comprehensive system. However, such comprehensive projects are a rare practice in the Group as the sale of hardware is predominantly performed on a distribution basis.

NOTE 3:-NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP (Cont.)

 

Variable consideration

 

In accordance with IFRS 15, if a contract consideration encompasses any amount that is variable, the Group shall estimate the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer, and shall include a portion or the whole amount of variable consideration in the transaction price but only to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

  

Significant financing component

  

When contracts involve a significant financing component, the Group adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract (either explicitly or implicitly) provide the customer with a significant benefit of financing.

 

The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient allowed by IFRS 15 according to which it does not separate the financing component in transactions whose credit terms are less than one year and will recognize revenue in the amount of the consideration stated in the contract even if the customer pays for the goods or services subsequent to their receipt.

 

Costs of contracts with customers

 

The costs of obtaining a contract are those additional (incremental) costs incurred by the Group in order to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The Group recognizes such costs as an asset if it expects to recover those costs. Such capitalized costs of obtaining a contract shall be amortized over a period when the Group satisfies the performance obligations arising from the contract.

 

As a practical expedient, the Group recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Group would have otherwise recognized is one year or less.

 

Costs to fulfil a contract are the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer. The Group recognizes such costs as an asset if they are not within the scope of another standard (for example, IAS 2 ‘Inventories’, IAS 16 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ or IAS 38 ‘Intangible Assets’) and if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

 

i)the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract with a customer,
ii)the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future, and
iii)the costs are expected to be recovered.

 

The Group pays commissions to sales and marketing and certain management personnel based on their attainment of certain predetermined sales or profit goals. Sales commissions are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and are deferred and amortized. The Group is required to capitalize and amortize incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as certain sales commission costs, on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the performance obligations to which the asset relates. Amortization expenses related to these costs are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 3:-NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP (Cont.)

  

IFRS 15 – First-time adoption

 

The Group implemented IFRS 15 as of January 1, 2018 and elected to apply the modified retrospective approach recognizing the cumulative effect from applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Group has used a practical expedient allowed under IFRS 15 and exempt from the restatement of comparable data. This means that financial data reported for reporting periods prior to December 31, 2017, including for the three and nine-months periods ended September 30, 2017, has been prepared on the basis of the following standards: IAS 18 ‘Revenue’, IAS 11 ‘Construction Contracts’ as well as interpretations related to revenue recognition that were applicable before the effective date of IFRS 15. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with IFRS 15.

 

In line with the chosen approach for the implementation of IFRS 15, the Group also decided to use a practical expedient not to restate contracts in respect of all modifications that were approved before the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

The table below presents a quantified analysis of opening balance adjustments which resulted from the upfront recognition of license revenue (mainly term-based software licenses which do not involve significant customization) and from incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts (mainly due to sales commissions). The Group has concluded that certain term-based software licenses which do not involve significant customization should now be considered as distinct performance obligations separate from other performance obligations, and thus should be measured using the relative standalone selling price basis, and recognized as revenue accordingly (at a point in time, rather than over the term of the contracts). This change in measurement results from the Group’s determination that the control over such software licenses had been transferred to the customer before the end of 2017 and, pursuant to the new standard, the arising revenues should have been recognized at that time. This type of transactions concerned to licenses sold by Sapiens and therefore the effects of these adjustments were attributable also to non-controlling interests.

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting. The new Standard has been applied for the first time in these financial statements retrospectively without restatement of comparative data. The initial adoption of IFRS 9 does not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

 

(a) Classification and measurement

 

Under IFRS 9, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Under IFRS 9, debt financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is based on two criteria: the Group’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount outstanding (the ‘SPPI criterion’).

NOTE 3:-NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP (Cont.)

 

The new classification and measurement of the Group’s debt financial assets are, as follows:

 

Debt instruments at amortized cost for financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. This category includes the Group’s Trade and other receivables, and Loans included under Other non-current financial assets.

 

Debt instruments at FVOCI, with gains or losses recycled to profit or loss on derecognition. Financial assets in this category are the Group’s quoted debt instruments that meet the SPPI criterion and are held within a business model both to collect cash flows and to sell. Under IAS 39, the Group’s quoted debt instruments were classified as available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets.

 

Other financial assets are classified and subsequently measured, as follows:

 

Equity instruments at FVOCI, with no recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss on derecognition. This category only includes equity instruments, which the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and which the Group has irrevocably elected to so classify upon initial recognition or transition. The Group classified its unquoted equity instruments as equity instruments at FVOCI. Equity instruments at FVOCI are not subject to an impairment assessment under IFRS 9. Under IAS 39, the Group’s unquoted equity instruments were classified as AFS financial assets.

 

Financial assets at FVPL comprise derivative instruments and quoted equity instruments which the Group had not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify at FVOCI. This category would also include debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics fail the SPPI criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell. Under IAS 39, the Group’s quoted equity securities were classified as AFS financial assets. Upon transition the AFS reserve relating to quoted equity securities, which had been previously recognized under accumulated OCI, was reclassified to Retained earnings.

 

The accounting for the Group’s financial liabilities remains largely the same as it was under IAS 39. Similar to the requirements of IAS 39, IFRS 9 requires contingent consideration liabilities to be treated as financial instruments measured at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

 

The assessment of the Group’s business models was made as of the date of initial application, 1 January 2018, and then applied retrospectively to those financial assets that were not derecognised before 1 January 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments are solely comprised of principal and interest was made based on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets.

 

The accounting for the Group’s financial liabilities remains largely the same as it was in under IAS 39. Similar to the requirmenets of IAS 39, IFRS 9 requires contingent consideration liabilities to be treated as financial instruments at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

 

(b) Impairment

 

The adoption of IFRS 9 has fundamentally changes the Group’s accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by replacing IAS 39’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected loss (ECL) approach.

 

IFRS 9 requires the Group to record an allowance for ECLs for all loans and other debt financial assets not held at FVPL. ELCs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the asset’s original effective interest rate.

NOTE 4:-DISCLOSURE OF NEW STANDARDS IN THE PERIOD PRIOR TO THEIR ADOPTION

 

IFRS 16, “Leases”:

 

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, “Leases” (“the new Standard”) effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. According to the new Standard, a lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

 

According to the new Standard:

 

1.Lessees are required to recognize all leases in the statement of financial position (except in certain cases) similar to the accounting treatment of finance leases according to the existing IAS 17, “Leases”.

 

2.Lessees are required to initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset. Lessees will also recognize interest and depreciation expense separately.

 

3.Variable lease payments that are not dependent on changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or interest rates, but are based on performance or use (such as a percentage of revenues) are recognized as an expense by the lessees as incurred and recognized as income by the lessors as earned.

 

4.In the event of change in variable lease payments that are CPI-linked, lessees are required to remeasure the lease liability and the effect of the remeasurement is an adjustment to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.

 

5.The new Standard includes two exceptions according to which lessees are permitted to elect to apply a method similar to the current accounting treatment for operating leases. These exceptions are leases for which the underlying asset is of low value and leases with a term of up to one year.

 

6.The accounting treatment by lessors remains substantially unchanged, namely classification of a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease.

NOTE 4:-DISCLOSURE OF NEW STANDARDS IN THE PERIOD PRIOR TO THEIR ADOPTION (Cont.)

 

The new Standard permits lessees to use one of the following approaches:

 

1.Full retrospective approach - according to this approach, a right-of-use asset and the corresponding liability will be presented in the statement of financial position as if they had always been measured according to the provisions of the new Standard. Accordingly, the effect of the adoption of the new Standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented will be recorded in equity. Also, the Company will restate the comparative data in its financial statements. Under this approach, the balance of the liability as of the date of initial application of the new Standard will be calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease, unless this rate cannot be easily determined in which case the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of interest on the commencement date of the lease will be used.

 

2.Modified retrospective approach - this approach does not require restatement of comparative data. The balance of the liability as of the date of initial application of the new Standard will be calculated using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of interest on the date of initial application of the new Standard. As for the measurement of the right-of-use asset, the Company may choose, on a lease-by-lease basis, to apply one of the two following alternatives:

 

Recognize an asset in an amount equal to the lease liability, with certain adjustments.
Recognize an asset as if the new Standard had always been applied.

 

Any difference arising on the date of first-time recorded in equity.

 

The Group believes that it will apply the modified retrospective approach upon the initial adoption of the new Standard by measuring the right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, as measured on the transition date.

 

The Group is evaluating the possible effects of the new Standard.

 

IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”:

 

In October 2018, the IASB issued an amendment to the definition of a “business” in IFRS 3, “Business Combinations” (“the Amendment”). The Amendment is intended to assist entities in determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an acquisition of an asset.

 

The Amendment consists of the following:

 

1.Clarification that to meet the definition of a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, as a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output.

 

2.Removal of the reference to the assessment whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continuing to operate it and produce outputs by integrating the business with their own inputs and processes.

  

3.Introduction of additional guidance and examples to assist entities in assessing whether the acquired processes are substantive.

 

4.Narrowing the definitions of “outputs” and “business” by focusing on goods and services provided to customers.

 

5.Introducing an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.

 

The Amendment is to be applied prospectively to all business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with earlier application permitted.

c.Acquisition of Noah Technologies Ltd.

 

On November 25, 2018, Matrix acquired 100% of the share capital of Noah Technologies Ltd in Israel for a cash consideration of approximately $1,626. In addition, the seller has performance based payment capped at NIS 4,000 (approximately $1,067), estimated on the date of the transaction at $330, relating to achievement of certain profitability targets for the years 2019-2021. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with reference to the acquisition as of the acquisition date:

The estimated fair values of the tangible and intangible assets referring to acquisition which were made in 2018 are provisional and are based on information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of these amounts. The Group’s management believes the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change. The Group expects to finalize the tangible and intangible assets valuation and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable but no later than the measurement period.

 

d.Other acquisitions by Matrix in 2018

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 Matrix acquired additional activities whose influence on the financial statements of the Company was immaterial, for a total consideration of $2,275 including $224 estimated on the date of the transaction for performance based payment relating to achievement of certain profitability targets (provisional and is based on information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of this amount).
