CONFIDENTIAL
The Combined Business will feature a more diversified customer base in terms of both geography and product offerings. SPTS relatively larger concentrations in North America and Europe will complement Orbotechs strong presence in Asia. As a Combined Business, customer relationships are expected to be further strengthened as Orbotech expects to become a one stop solution, offering advanced packaging, direct imaging and AOI solutions that address sequential processes for manufacturers which is expected to positively impact customer retention rate.
Strong Competitive Positioning
The Combined Business will have an enhanced scale with several market leading operating segments, each with established customer relationships and a track record of innovation that, altogether, is expected to create a significant competitive advantage.
With a larger footprint, Orbotech will be well positioned to benefit from increased diversification, reducing its standalone risk and granting it access to new markets. The Combined Business should have improved resilience to fluctuations in the global economy generally and to the cycles of the semiconductor industry, in particular. While Orbotech believes its competitors will continue to be more susceptible to such risks, Orbotech expects to have further opportunities to diversify using SPTS existing footprint in advanced packaging.
The acquisition of SPTS represents a natural extension of Orbotechs vision and strategy by expanding Orbotechs footprint in the electronics industry and moving up the value chain. The envisioned integration of Orbotechs tools for high-end PCB and IC substrates with SPTS advanced packaging solutions creates an offering aimed at what is possibly the biggest challenge in electronics manufacturing for the coming decade: packaging density. Continuation of Moores performance trajectory is critical for the growth of the global consumer electronics industry and enabling solutions can thus generate returns above the industry average.

CONFIDENTIAL
Recurring Services Business Model with Long-Term Growth Prospects
Both Orbotech and SPTS realize a significant amount of their revenues from recurring, service based sources. For the year 2013, these sources represented approximately 30% of the total aggregate revenue of both companies. Because services represent a source of non-cyclical income for Orbotech, these revenues become increasingly important during periods of contracted capital expenditures in its end markets and increase as a percentage of total revenue. As a result, services has historically been a reliable and resilient business on which both companies rely to withstand fluctuations in capital equipment cycles.
For Orbotech, the services business includes ongoing support for its PCB and FPD customers. Most of the PCB customers enter into service and maintenance agreements after the expiration of the warranty period with respect to the installed base of PCB products. In addition, Orbotech provides utilization-based service arrangements for its FPD customers. Orbotech has built a global customer service infrastructure that relies on geographic proximity to its customers to provide the highest level of service.
For SPTS, services related revenues include after sale support for out of warranty products, the sales of spare parts to SPTS current customers and contracts. SPTS services business accounted for approximately 19% of SPTS revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
As a Combined Business, SPTS could benefit from the established customer service infrastructure of Orbotech and services are expected to be a source of future long term growth.

CONFIDENTIAL
The Combined Business has been a consistent generator of cash on a Combined Business historical basis. Free cash flow has been consistently positive. The ample conversion rate has been supported by predictably moderate working capital demands and relatively stable capital expenditure requirements.
Note: 2012 2013 financial information for SPTS is based on SPTS results in UK GAAP. 2010 2011 SPTS data based on management estimates and does not reflect accounting impact from the management buyout funded by Bridgepoint in 2011.
Ongoing positive momentum in both businesses points toward better looking financial profile. The already moderate acquisition leverage is expected to be further reduced as these benefits are realized and as Orbotech uses its free cash flow to reduce its debt. As of 1Q2014, SPTS has a healthy LTM book-to bill ratio² 1.1x which represents the highest level in last three years.
Highly Experienced Management Team
The Combined Business will be led by an experienced management team with over 21 years of industry experience and over 15 years in their respective organizations, on average. Management will combine Orbotechs existing team, led by Asher Levy, with key members of SPTS existing leadership, including Kevin Crofton and Richard Rees.
After 22 years in various positions at Orbotech, Asher Levy assumed the role of CEO in January 2013. He is supported by Amichai Steimberg and Doron Abramovitch, in their roles as President & COO and Corporate VP & CFO, respectively. Together the management team has extensive M&A experience, with the majority of such team overseeing many of Orbotechs transactions during its acquisitive history, including its 2008 acquisition of PDI.
Orbotech expects to maintain key members of the existing management of SPTS which are considered to be essential to the Combined Business. Kevin Crofton has been with SPTS since its inception, most recently in his position as President & COO, and brings over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor capital equipment industry.

Printed Circuit Board overview (PCB)
Virtually all electronic equipment uses PCBs, which are the basic interconnect platforms for the electronic components that comprise all electronic equipment. PCBs contain the electronic circuitry required to interconnect the components which are subsequently mounted on them and which, when operating together, perform a specified function. An assembly of one or more mounted PCBs working together forms an essential part of most electronic products. As PCBs are susceptible to various defects (electrical shorts, open circuits and insufficient or off-measure conductor widths), inspection is required throughout PCB production to identify such defects, which are then repaired, if possible. Early detection of these defects, particularly in the case of multilayered and build-up boards where PCB layers are subsequently embedded inside the finished board, increases the possibility of successful repair and reduces the number of unusable boards, thereby reducing the overall cost to the manufacturer.
Orbotech has adapted its existing AOI, AOR, direct imaging, ultraviolet (UV) drilling, digital inkjet and CAM production technologies and solutions for use by manufacturers of other electronic components, including manufacturers of touch screen modules, integrated circuit assemblers and photo chemical millers.
The PCB market is expected to grow from $60bn in 2013 to $67bn in 2017 with the mobile sub-segment of the market growing to $15bn by 2017 (2013-17 CAGR of 9%). The growth is expected to come from increased demand for smartphones, tablets, e-readers and other mobile connected devices that require complex and high performance components. Growth in the industry offers opportunities for Orbotech to increase sales in the established AOI and LDI business with new opportunities within UV Drilling and AOR.
Flat Panel Display overview (FPD)
FPDs, which include LCDs, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays and other types of displays, are presently used for laptop and desktop computers, tablets, televisions, smartphones, public displays, car navigation systems, digital and video cameras and a variety of other devices for technical, medical, military, aerospace and consumer electronics applications. The demand for high definition, ultra high definition and zero defect televisions requires FPD manufacturers to develop more complex panel designs and to implement tighter production process controls. The inspection of LCDs poses distinct technological challenges due to the transparent materials used for some conductors and insulators, their multilayered structure and high-density features and the fine nature of potential defects. LCD inspection, test and repair processes must also match the high production speeds of LCD facilities, a task made more challenging by the fact that LCD manufacturers have been utilizing high resolution for new complex displays.
16 |
CONFIDENTIAL
The growth is driven by demand for high definition, more power efficient, low cost FPDs across a number of sectors, such as consumer electronics, communications, healthcare, government and industrial applications.
A significant part of FPD manufacturing is expected to continue migrating to China, a move undertaken by PCB manufacturers over ten years ago, and industries are increasing production capacity in that country. Orbotech has an established commitment to the region, with more than 16 years of operating history in China, where it maintains an extensive infrastructure comprised of a large installed base, a widespread customer support network and strong relationships with local manufacturers in the region.
Touch Screens & Electronic Components overview (ECM)
Orbotechs ECM operations are currently in a start up phase and consist of the adaptation by Orbotech of its existing AOI, AOR, direct imaging, CAM and production technologies and solutions for use by manufacturers of other electronic components such as manufacturers of touch screen modules, integrated circuit assemblers, who provide a service of connecting a semiconductor die onto a substrate, wafer level packagers (which also form part of the integrated circuit assembly process), low temperature co-fired ceramic and photo chemical millers, who manufacture fine metal components used in various electronic products and components. The SPTS business would fold in under the ECM business.
Solar overview
Through Orbotech LT Solar, LLC, Orbotech is engaged in the research, development and marketing of products for the deposition of anti-reflective coating on crystalline silicon photovoltaic wafers for solar energy panels.
Solar photovoltaic systems are energy systems that produce electricity directly from sunlight. Photovoltaic systems produce clean, reliable energy without consuming fossil fuels and can be used in a wide variety of applications. Photovoltaic cells are made from semiconducting materials similar to those used in computer chips. When sunlight strikes these materials, the absorbed photons release electrons, forcing them to flow through the material and to exit in external circuitry to produce electricity (the so-called Photovoltaic Effect). Currently, most photovoltaic modules are used for grid connected power generation and in the supply of electric power during daylight.
The solar industry is anticipated to continue to grow in 2014, particularly in the United States and emerging markets such as South America and the Middle East, while Europe is expected to continue its consolidation trend that began in 2012 and China and Japan are expected to continue to show strong growth in this sector. In particular, projects to provide additional capacity in photovoltaic solar power are expected to be announced and completed over the next several years. Industry analysts expect a surge in projects to be completed by the end of 2016, when the applicable tax credits in the United States will decrease.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, Orbotech received initial purchase orders totaling approximately $10 million for its Aurora PECVD® thin film deposition system from leading solar panel manufacturers, deliveries of which commenced over the first half of 2014.

End-market applications include micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), advanced packaging, Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), high speed Radio frequency (RF) device ICs and power semiconductors. SPTS products are used in both production and research environments across a number of markets.
Solutions offered include silicon Etch, dielectric Etch, dry-release Etch, PVD, PECVD, APCVD and large batch vertical furnaces. SPTS supplies wafer processing equipment and technologies to the worlds leading semiconductor device manufacturers and research institutions which has helped it to develop long-term relationships with its customers (approximately 20 year tenure with market/industry leading customers). The terminology etch refers to the selective removal of material from the surface of a wafer to form the conduit for a conducting circuit. CVD involves placing a wafer in a process module (or chamber), filling the chamber with a chemical medium in a vaporized format, striking a plasma and deposting the material across the diameter of the wafer uniformly (including uniformly into the vias and trenches formed by etch). The material can be used as an insulator or as a barrier to protect certain surfaces from poisoning. PVD involves placing a silicon wafer in a chamber, bombarding a metal target with argon ions inside the chamber, and coating the surface of the wafer with the metal particles that are knocked off the target. PVD is mainly used to form metal films.
SPTS has a track record of identifying niches and successfully leveraging them, creating a successful and profitable business. It has generated success through two primary models. The first model is focusing on niche markets and applications where SPTS has the best technical solution and where mainstream tools are not adequate. The second model is co-developing customer-specific capital equipment solutions with a select number of long-standing customers.
SPTS currently has approximately 470 employees and operates a global sales and services organization footprint across Europe, North America and Asia. It generated sales of $156mm and EBITDA of $35mm in FY13A.
SPTS has a long history of operations, with the roots of the company going back 30 years in the semiconductor capital equipment industry. In its current state, SPTS was formed following a management buy out of SPP Process Technology Systems Limited (later renamed SPTS Technologies UK Limited) from Sumitomo Precision Products Co. Ltd (SPP), the Groups original Japanese owner. The buy out was backed by Bridgepoint Capital.

¹ | MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) |
MEMS overview (Micro-Electromechanical Systems)
MEMS devices are integrated devices or systems that combine mechanical and electrical components. They transfer mechanical input (pressure, temperature, IF, vibration, etc.) from the natural environment that surrounds us (the mechanical input) to electrical output. They are fabricated using integrated circuit (IC) processing techniques and can range from a few micrometers to millimeters in size. These technologies are miniaturized sensors, actuators and structures which are increasingly being used in consumer products, such as ink jet printer heads, inertial sensors, and mobile and communications applications. They are also being developed for evolving technologies such as the application of augmented reality (AR) for enhanced gaming experiences.
These systems can sense, control, and activate mechanical processes on the micro scale, and function individually or in arrays to generate effects on the macro scale. The micro fabrication technology enables fabrication of large arrays of devices, which individually perform simple tasks, but in combination can accomplish complicated functions.
SPTS has an established leadership position in MEMS and intends to leverage its existing customer base and technology positions to drive further growth.

Advanced Packaging overview
Advanced Packaging refers to the process steps that form the protective enclosure around a finished chip and create the external connections for input/output. Consumer demand for smaller, faster, and more powerful mobile electronics is driving the development of alternate packaging approaches, such as chip-level and wafer-level packaging (WLP).
Advanced Packaging architectures sustain Moores Law and represent the next wave of growth in semiconductor capital equipment markets. Advanced Packaging enables the next generation of semiconductors and industry experts have indicated that 30-50% of the Advanced Packaging market will shift to 2.5D / 3.0D by 2020-2022.
There are several techniques to address the Moores Law conundrum, one technique is the use of solder bumping schemes to replace the use of wire bonding, which is referred to as 2.0D. Another technique to improve three dimensional stacking (3D) is the creation of through-silicon vias (TSVs). TSVs provide interconnect capability for die-to-die stacking for 3D integrated circuits (3D ICs), which in turn enable production of smaller, faster, and more powerful mobile electronics. This technology is currently being developed and implemented across a broad range of device types and has the potential to reduce form-factors, increase performance and enable heterogeneous integration of dissimilar devices (logic/microprocessors on top of memory, on top of MEMS devices, as an example). SPTS has equipment offerings for the 3 advanced packaging technology types: TSV front end, TSV back end (via reveal), and bumping (UBM/RDL) across three process technologies: Etch, PVD and CVD. Etch and CVD tools are used in the 2.5D and 3.0D packaging generations, while the PVD tool is also used in 2.0D flip chip and wafer-level packaging activities. SPTS is active across a broad range of technologies and has strong relationships with key market participants (OSATsOutsource assembly and testing and increasingly Foundriesfactories that produce integrated circuit devices on a contract service basis to the fables device designers, or as a volume manufacturer, and IDMs (Integrated device manufacturers.)). Success to date with OSATs gives SPTS indirect traction with IDMs and foundries which are an increasing commercial focus as the market transitions to 2.5D and 3.0D.
SPTS addresses multiple advanced packaging technology types across three process steps (Etch, PVD and CVD) and therefore competes with a wide range of industry players. SPTS offers superior technology, flexible product offering and a strategic partnership approach with industry leading innovators.
Power, RF, HB-LED and other overview
Power semiconductor (typically Si-based) devices are used as switches or rectifiers in power electronic circuits. They are also called power ICs when used in integrated circuits. These are power management devices for example, the device used to control battery life in cell phones and PCs.
RF ICs are compound semiconductor electronic devices, usually based on Gallium arsenide (GaAs) as the substrate material. They are the cornerstone of high speed wireless communications. GaAs is a compound of the elements gallium and arsenic. It is a III/V semiconductor, and is used in the manufacturing of devices such as microwave frequency integrated circuits, monolithic microwave integrated circuits, infrared light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, solar cells and optical windows. The use of GaAs continues to grow year-on-year due to growth in wireless communications systems. As silicon components run up against their physical limits, the compound semiconductor industry is producing next generation devices and integrated solutions.

Many factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected including, without limitation, the completion, timing, terms and anticipated benefits of the acquisition of SPTS and the related financing transactions; the timing and impact of conversion of SPTSs financial statements from U.K. GAAP to U.S. GAAP and Orbotechs ability to switch SPTS to a U.S. GAAP reporting regime; Orbotechs ability to effectively integrate and operate SPTSs business following the acquisition, the timing, terms and success of any other strategic or other transaction, cyclicality in the industries in which the Orbotech or SPTS operates, Orbotechs and SPTSs production capacity, timing and occurrence of product acceptance (Orbotech defines bookings as purchase arrangements with customers that are based on mutually agreed terms which, in some cases, may still be subject to completion of written documentation and may be changed or cancelled by the customer, often without penalty), fluctuations in product mix, worldwide economic conditions generally, especially in the industries in which Orbotech or SPTS operate, the timing and strength of product and service offerings by Orbotech, SPTS and each of their competitors, changes in business or pricing strategies, changes in the prevailing political and regulatory framework in which the relevant parties operate or in economic or technological trends or conditions, including currency fluctuations, inflation and consumer confidence, on a global, regional or national basis, the level of consumer demand for sophisticated devices such as smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices, the final outcome and impact of the criminal matter and ongoing investigation in Korea, including its impact on existing or future business opportunities in Korea and elsewhere, any civil actions related to the Korean matter brought by third parties, including the Orbotechs customers, which may result in monetary judgments or settlements, expenses associated with the Korean matter, the security situation in Israel, including the possibility of a ground war or other armed conflicts or hostilities and other risks detailed in Orbotechs SEC reports, including Orbotechs Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013, and subsequent SEC filings. The failure to complete the acquisition of SPTS could have a materially adverse effect on Orbotechs financial condition and results and could negatively impact Orbotechs share price. Orbotech assumes no obligation to update the information in this presentation to reflect new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
All financial information in this presentation related to SPTS, including forward-looking estimates based or derived therefrom, is based on SPTSs financial statements prepared in accordance with U.K. GAAP. U.K. GAAP differs in certain important respects from U.S. GAAP, the basis for Orbotechs financial reporting. Neither SPTS nor Orbotech has begun a reconciliation of SPTSs financial statements from U.K. to U.S. GAAP and therefore cannot quantify the differences, which may be material. In addition, Orbotech will account for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting, which will result in a new valuation for the assets and liabilities of SPTS. The new basis of accounting will be based on the estimated value of the assets and liabilities on the closing date of the acquisition. Orbotech will not be preparing any pro forma information for the acquisition and financing until the reconciliation and valuation estimates have been prepared.
There are references in this presentation to non-GAAP measures. For more information about how Orbotech determines and uses such non-GAAP measures, see Orbotechs filings with the SEC and the Annex to the Evaluation Material.

Technology transition status
Packaging technology is evolving quickly in the semiconductor industry. Market currently primarily comprises 2.0D
2.5D production is ramping up driven by FPGAs used in gaming devices, smart TVs and memory stacking
As design challenges are overcome, foundries and IDMs are likely to adopt 3.0D, driving growth in the 2015/16 timeframe
Customers: Who is doing what?
OSATs are very active in 2.0D covering the mid to back-end processes and account for the majority of tool spend today
As the market transitions to 2.5D and 3.0D, OSATs are expected to remain key players but foundries and IDMs are expected to be increasingly active and take on a greater proportion of spend in 2.5D and 3.0D
SPTS is active across a broad spectrum of advanced packaging technologies and has strong relationships and design wins with OSATs and some IDMs and shows early traction with other IDMs and foundries
Success to date with OSATs gives SPTS traction with IDMs and foundries which are an increasing commercial focus as the market transitions to 2.5D and 3.0D

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
The directors submit their revised Annual Report on the affairs of the company, together with the revised financial statements and auditors report, for the 5 months ended 31 December 2011. This revised Annual Report replaces the original Annual Report for the financial period, which has been prepared as at the date of the original directors report and not as at the date of the revision and accordingly does not deal with any events between those dates. This revised Annual Report is now the statutory accounts for SPTS Technologies Group Limited for the 5 months ended 31 December 2011. The original Consolidated Cash Flow Statement was not prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Policies, as a result the directors of the Company have chosen to withdraw the original financial statements and prepare revised financial statements which include a revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement.
The company was incorporated on 16 May 2011 and trading commenced from 1 August 2011. The company accounts are presented from the date of incorporation to the 31 December. The group accounts cover the 5 month trading period from 1 August to 31 December as described below.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the group is the design, manufacture and distribution of a range of highly specialised machines incorporating semi-conductor fabrication technology used by the groups customers in the production of semi-conductor-related devices. These devices are required in a number of specialist products such as microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS), power semiconductors, wireless communications equipment, LED devices and advanced packaging applications.
On 1 August 2011, the group was formed following a management buyout, backed by funds managed by Bridgepoint Advisors Limited, of SPTS Technologies UK Ltd (SPTS UK) from Sumitomo Precision Products Co. Ltd (SPP). The acquisition was funded by private Bridgepoint Advisors Limited and management funding through the newly formed SPTS Technologies group of companies. A subsidiary of the group, SPTS Technologies Sapphire Limited completed the acquisition of SPTS UK and SPP maintained a minority shareholding of 3 per cent in the group. The acquisition includes SPP Process Technology Systems KK (SPTS KK) and certain Intellectual Property Rights. SPTS KK was acquired by the SPTS Group to support the SPTS product range in the Japanese market. There have been no changes in management, product strategy, customer focus, or mission at SPTS UK after the ownership change, only a minor change in name of the group companies in deference to the former parent company. As such consolidated accounts have been presented for the company and its subsidiaries from the date control passed on 1 August 2011. Full year trading results and comparatives for the group can be seen on SPTS UK financial statements; this excludes the financing structure included within these accounts.
On 30 November 2011 the group acquired 5 per cent of the issued share capital of SPP Technologies Co., Ltd. (SPT). SPP acquired the remaining 95% of SPT. This entity will provide comprehensive solutions to meet the requirements of Japanese customers through the wide range of SPTS products and services. As a result employees and the trade and assets of SPTS KK were transferred and sold to SPT on 30 November 2011. SPT now holds the distribution agreement for SPTS products in the Japanese market and will act as a sales agent and strategic partner in the foreseeable future.
Business review
The results for the 5 months to 31 December 2011 are set out in the consolidated profit and loss account. Turnover amounted to $107.8 million with a gross profit of $53.8 million. EBITDA amounted to $30.8 million with profit on ordinary activities before taxation being $15.8 million.
The groups business is now being run through three divisions; Single Wafer Division, Thermal Products Division and Primaxx division. The Single Wafer Division manufactures, supplies and supports plasma etch and deposition technologies with a manufacturing base in Newport, UK. The USA subsidiary manufacturers and supplies Thermal Product technologies from the site in San Jose, California. Primaxx manufactures and supplies dry release etch products primarily for the MEMS market from the manufacturing site in Allentown, PA, USA.
In 2011, SPTS Group continued to serve a range of technology sectors, reflecting the diversity of technology offered by the group and the ability to offer a wide range of enabling manufacturing processes to a broad cross section of the technology sector. This diversity, together with the ability of the product range to be utilised in both production and research environments across a number of markets and geographical locations means that revenue risks continue to be well spread and will help the group manage market conditions in the future. During 2011, the Company took advantage of the slowing market conditions to improve internal control procedures, improving procurement practices and corporate governance, including continued cost control to ensure it is ideally placed for the next round of growth.
The net assets of the business were $14.6 million as at 31 December 2011.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
DIRECTORS REPORT (continued)
The directors expect the general level of activity to continue well into 2012. Market projections for 2012 are strong and SPTS are in an excellent position as a result of their acquisitions to consolidate and grow their current market position.
Operational risk management
The group regards the provision of a safe working environment as essential for its employees and the supply of products which are fully safety compliant as paramount for its customers. The groups operations have a low environmental impact on the local communities in which they are situated and are compliant with environmental regulations, following best practice and best available techniques wherever possible.
Financial risk management
The nature of the groups operations, essentially being the production of complex, long lead-time capital equipment, most of which is exported, gives rise to the need for bank finance and international currency transactions. The associated financial risks are liquidity, interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations.
The group operates a centralised treasury function, which acts within clearly defined policies approved by the Board that are designed to reduce the financial risk faced by the group. No speculative trading in currency or other financial instruments is undertaken. Liquidity is maintained through effective operational practices for working capital and cash flow management, supported by the availability of adequate borrowing facilities.
Transactional foreign currency exchange rate exposure is managed through the use of forward foreign currency contracts. Bad debts are also an ever-present financial risk, managed by the use of credit rating checks.
Research and development
During 2011, research and development expenditure amounted to 6% of turnover. The group continues to commit significant resources to research and development activities in order to design, produce and promote new products, to improve and upgrade existing products and to exploit new technologies. Development work is principally initiated by, or carried out in conjunction with, customers in order to improve or introduce products for a known market. This approach reduces the inherent risk in research and development activities.
Dividend
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
DIRECTORS REPORT (continued)
Employees
The group believes that its employees are one of its greatest assets and continue to add value to the business. The group continues to encourage employee involvement by making information available to employees. The group has procedures for the communication of significant business issues to all subsidiaries. Each subsidiary has internal procedures for consulting and communicating with employees to maximise the contribution of each employee to the development of the business. This is supported through newsletters and also through regular employee briefings at which members of the executive team outline group performance and future objectives.
It is the groups policy to give employment opportunities to disabled persons whenever possible and to afford such employees equal opportunities for training, career development and promotion. SPTS has a declared policy as an equal opportunity employer.
Going concern
SPTS Group has achieved strong results for 2011 and also expect to in 2012. Due to the nature of the business and the working capital needed to fund the production of capital equipment, management of cash remains a key priority for the business. The directors monitor cash flow forecasts closely and on a timely basis. The group has positive cash balances, group borrowing facilities have been renewed for 2012, the covenants attached to the facilities are not in breach and the directors are managing the level of facilities available and cash flow to meet future growth.
The directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the group for the period to December 2012 and beyond and are satisfied that these forecasts take account of all reasonably expected events in that period. The directors believe that the groups forecast results, in addition to its existing finance facilities, are sufficient to continue to meet its ongoing working capital requirements and fund continued growth of the business. The directors believe that the company is well placed to manage these business risks.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Auditors
In the case of each of the persons who are directors of the company at the date when this report is approved:
| so far as each of the directors is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the companys auditors are unaware; and |
| each of the directors has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the companys auditors are aware of that information. |
This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of s418 of the Companies Act 2006.
Ernst & Young were appointed as the companys auditor during the financial period. They have indicated their willingness to continue in office and a resolution for their reappointment will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period ended 31 December 2011
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The directors submit their revised Annual Report on the affairs of the company, together with the revised financial statements and auditors report, for the 5 months ended 31 December 2011. This revised Annual Report replaces the original Annual Report for the financial period, which has been prepared as at the date of the original directors report and not as at the date of the revision and accordingly does not deal with any events between those dates. This revised Annual Report is now the statutory accounts for SPTS Technologies Group Limited for the 5 months ended 31 December 2011. The original Consolidated Cash Flow Statement was not prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Policies, as a result the directors of the Company have chosen to withdraw the original financial statements and prepare revised financial statements which include a revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. Refer to note 28 for further detail.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards. A summary of the principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the period, are as follows:
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.
Basis of preparation
The group results consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries. On 1 August 2011, following the creation of the new SPTS Technologies Group Ltd, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the 5 months to 31 December 2011.
In respect of acquisitions, the results of subsidiaries acquired or sold are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed. Such acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method.
Going concern
SPTS Group has achieved excellent results for 2011 and also expect to in 2012. Due to the nature of the business and the working capital needed to fund the production of capital equipment, management of cash remains a key priority for the business. The directors monitor cash flow forecasts closely and on a timely basis. The group has positive cash balances, group borrowing facilities have been renewed for 2012, the covenants attached to the facilities are not in breach and the directors are managing the level of facilities available and cash flow to meet future growth.
The directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the company for the period to December 2012 and beyond and are satisfied that these forecasts take account of all reasonably expected events in that period. The directors believe that the companys forecast results and its finance facilities arising from the change in ownership of the group of which it is a member, are sufficient to continue to meet its ongoing working capital requirements and fund continued growth of the business. The directors believe that the company is well placed to manage these business risks.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Intangible assets Development costs, patents and trademarks
Development costs, patents and trademarks are included at cost and depreciated in equal annual instalments over a period of 20 years which is their estimated useful economic life.
Intangible assets Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings and businesses, representing any excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life, which is 20 years. Provision is made for any impairment.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period ended 31 December 2011
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation. Freehold land is not depreciated. On other assets, depreciation has been computed to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives using the following rates:
Freehold buildings | 2% per annum | |
Leasehold improvements | Period of the lease | |
Demonstration machines | 20% per annum | |
Plant and machinery | 10% per annum | |
Fixtures, fittings and equipment | 10% to 33% per annum |
Investments
Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any impairment.
Joint ventures and associates
The transactions resulting from joint ventures and associates have been treated in accordance with FRS 9 Associates and joint ventures. The groups share of the joint venture and/or associate profit or loss is included in the consolidated profit and loss account and its share of the joint venture and/or associate net assets or liabilities is included in the consolidated balance sheet within investments. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of associates is being amortised over 5 years due to the uncertainties inherent with start up R&D companies. Any unamortised balance of goodwill is included in the carrying value of the investment in associates.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods includes materials, labour and a relevant proportion of production overheads. Provision has been made for excess and slow-moving items where appropriate.
Taxation
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation is provided in full on timing differences that result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account in the year in which it is incurred.
Turnover
The companys turnover represents amounts receivable, excluding value added tax and trade discounts, in respect of goods and services provided in the normal course of business. Revenue is recognised on the despatch of goods or the supply of services in line with SPTS right to receive consideration having delivered the majority of the related goods and services. An appropriate proportion of the revenue in relation to the sale of machines is deferred. This relates to system installation revenue and is deferred until such time as the installation is complete and accepted by the customer. Associated costs are also deferred.
Foreign exchange
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling and recorded at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling at that date or, if appropriate, at the forward contract rate. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is dealt with in the profit and loss account.

1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
The results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into sterling at the average rates of exchange during the period and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The difference arising from the translation of the opening net investment in subsidiaries, the results of operations, and matched long-term foreign currency borrowings are taken directly to reserves.
Operating leases
Costs in respect of operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Government grants
When the conditions of grants are met, the revenue element is credited to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred and the capital element is credited to the profit and loss account over the expected useful life of the related assets.
Pension costs
The amount of pension contributions payable in the period is charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
Share based payments
Equity settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted and is recognised as an expense over the vesting period, which ends on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the company (market conditions). No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest.
At each balance sheet date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and managements best estimate of the market conditions at that time. The movement in cumulative expense since the previous balance sheet date is recognised in the income statement, with a corresponding entry in equity.
Cash settled transactions
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured at fair value. Fair value is established initially at the grant date and at each balance sheet date thereafter until the awards are settled. During the vesting period a liability is recognised representing the product of the fair value of the award and the portion of the vesting period expired as at the balance sheet date. From the end of the vesting period until settlement, the liability represents the full fair value of the award as at the balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying amount for the liability are recognised in profit or loss for the period.
Warranty provision
The warranty provision relates to the expected costs of providing repairs and spares under warranty agreements given to customers.
Related party transactions
In accordance with the exception permitted by paragraph 17 of Financial Reporting Standard 8, transactions with wholly owned group companies are not reported.

7. | SHARE BASED PAYMENT |
Share participation plan
Employees of SPTS UK group in UK and US were offered the right to purchase a beneficial interest in certain C ordinary shares of $0.01 each in the capital of SPTS Technologies Group Limited for $2.01 per C ordinary share. In total 9,720 shares were purchased by SPTS UK group employees under the plan.
The grant date fair value as measured under FRS 20 is $2.01 and therefore no additional expense has been recognized in the profit and loss account under FRS 20.
Cash bonus plan
Employees outside of the UK and US were offered the right to participate in a scheme based on an allocation of notional shares for which they paid $2.01 per notional share and will receive a cash bonus related to the value of the notional share at the time of sale. In total 2,476 notional shares were purchased by SPTS UK group employees under this plan.
At the period end the Board of Directors consider that the value of the notional shares remains at $2.01 per share and hence no additional costs have been taken into account in the profit and loss account.
Cash Ratchet
The Articles of Association contain a ratchet whereby, upon the occurrence of certain events, an amount of the A ordinary shares will convert into deferred shares such that the number of B ordinary shares held (when expressed as a percentage of the whole of the issued share capital of the Company) shall increase by up to a maximum of 8% of the entire issued share capital. The trigger event for the application of this ratchet is the repayment of shareholder loan notes and interest by the Company on or before 27 June 2012, with a repayment of $100,000,000 in aggregate resulting in the full 8% ratchet being applied. The Directors of the company hold B ordinary shares and the additional value attributed to the B ordinary shares from, inter alia, this ratchet has been reflected in the original price paid of $3.31 per B Ordinary share and as such the Board of Directors consider this to be fair value under FRS 20 and hence no additional costs have been taken into account in the profit and loss.

8. | TAXATION (continued) |
(c) Factors that may affect future tax charges
The group earns a high proportion of its profits within the UK.
On 23 March 2011 the Chancellor announced the reduction in the main rate of corporation tax to 26% with effect from 1 April 2011 and a further reduction to 25% with effect from 1 April 2012. These changes became substantively enacted on 29 March 2011 and 19 July 2011 respectively, and therefore the effect of these rate reductions has been reflected in the deferred tax balances which have been calculated at a rate of 25%.
Furthermore, on March 2012 the Chancellor announced that the main rate of corporation tax would reduce to 24% with effect from 1 April 2012, with further 1% reduction per annum to achieve a main rate of corporation tax of 22% with effect from 1 April 2014. The effect of these rate reductions on the companys total deferred tax asset would be to reduce it by $160,000.

The directors of the Company have noted that the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement that was presented in the original financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2011 was not prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Policies. As a result the directors of the Company have chosen to withdraw the original financial statements and prepare revised financial statements which include a revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. These revised financial statements are considered to be the statutory accounts for the period ended 31 December 2011. The revised financial statements have been prepared as at the date of the original financial statements and not as at the date of revision and accordingly do not deal with events between those two dates.
In addition to the revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement the directors have also chosen to amend the notes to the accounts affected by the changes in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. The revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement includes a re-classification of the amount of Cash arising on acquisition at 1 August 2011 of $24.757 million and the revised financial statements also include additional disclosures in note 13 on Acquisitions arising out of amounts included in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and additional disclosures and amendments in note 22 to the revised financial statements.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
The directors submit their revised Annual Report on the affairs of the company, together with the revised financial statements and auditors report, for the year ended 31 December 2012. This revised Annual Report replaces the original Annual Report for the financial year, which has been prepared as at the date of the original directors report and not as at the date of the revision and accordingly does not deal with any events between those dates. This revised Annual Report is now the statutory accounts for SPTS Technologies Group Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012. The original Consolidated Cash Flow Statement was not prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Policies, as a result the directors of the Company have chosen to withdraw the original financial statements and prepare revised financial statements which include a revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the group is the design, manufacture, test and distribution of a range of specialised equipment used by the groups customers to produce semi-conductor-related devices. These devices include commercial microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS), power semiconductors, wireless communications equipment, LEDs and advanced packaging applications.
On 24 July 2012, SPTS agreed terms with BluGlass Limited (BG) to transfer SPTS UKs shareholding in EpiBlu Technologies PTY Ltd (EB) in return for an additional 5% of the fully diluted share capital of BG such that SPTS Technologies UK Limiteds aggregate shareholding in BG would be 24.9%. On and from registration, the risk attaching to the sale shares will be taken to have passed as at 30 June 2012. The agreement was subject to BG shareholder approval which was subsequently obtained. As a result of ceasing to hold any shares in EB, the joint venture agreement entered into on 30 August 2010 between BG, EB and SPTS Technologies UK Limited was terminated. The associate has been treated as an investment as the group does not hold any significant long term influence as a result of the disposal of EB.
On 21 December 2012 BG completed a capital raising exercise in which the group did not participate. Accordingly SPTS Technologies UK Limiteds shareholding in BG was diluted to 22.45%.
Business review
In 2012, SPTS Group continued to serve a range of technology sectors, reflecting the diversity of technology offered by the group and the ability to offer a wide range of enabling manufacturing processes to a broad cross section of the technology sector. This diversity, together with the ability of the product range to be utilised in both production and research environments across a number of markets and geographical locations means that revenue risks continue to be well spread and will help the group continue to manage market conditions in the future. Management has focused on positioning the business in key high growth market sectors and production accounts. During 2012 the group took advantage of the static market conditions to improve internal control procedures, improving procurement practices and continued cost control. As such the directors believe SPTS is ideally placed for the next round of growth.
The results for the financial period to 31 December 2012 are set out in the consolidated profit and loss account. Turnover amounted to $207.9 million (5 months ended 2011: $107.8 million) with a gross profit of $99.6 million (5 months ended 2011: $53.8 million). EBITDA amounted to $51.3 million (5 months ended 2011: $30.4 million) with profit on ordinary activities before taxation being $23.0 million (5 months ended 2011: $15.8 million).
SPTS achieved relatively strong performance in 2012 as evidenced by the groups solid revenue, profit performance and cash generation. SPTS achieved this performance in spite of lower order activity compared to 2010 and 2011. This lower order activity is a result of global economic uncertainty stemming from Eurozone difficulties and US fiscal worries which has led to lower levels of consumer confidence and spending and general economic malaise. The recovery of these macroeconomic issues have taken longer than previously expected in the 2012 calendar year and run up to 2013. The Semi-conductor market has experienced similar trends.
However during this period, SPTS has continued to build on its core values focusing on world-class customer loyalty and delivery of first class solutions to its customers, developing its product range and protecting its market share. Furthermore SPTS has continued to improve the structure of its business to adapt to changes in demand levels to maintain profit levels and cash generation throughout the year demonstrating the flexible nature of the Group and decisions made by management.
The net assets of the business were $30.3 million (2011: $14.6 million) as at 31 December 2012. The movement of $15.7 million being the profit generated of $17.2 million less foreign exchange movements.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
DIRECTORS REPORT (continued)
In May 2012, the Group repaid $60 million of its shareholder loans to Bridgepoint which included all interest accrued to date. On the same day the group received external bank financing of $70 million to finance the repayment of the shareholder loans. In June 2012 an additional amount of $25m was repaid on the Bridgepoint loans which also included all interest accrued to date. Further details can be seen in note 16 of the financial statements. The group also strengthened its covenants and facilities to support future growth.
The directors expect the general level of activity to improve in 2013. Market projections for 2013 are strong and SPTS is in an excellent position as a result of previous acquisitions and relatively strong 2012 results to consolidate and grow its current market position.
Operational risk management
The group regards the provision of a safe working environment as essential for its employees and the supply of products which are fully safety compliant as paramount for its customers. The groups operations have a low environmental impact on the local communities in which they are situated and are compliant with environmental regulations, following best practice and best available techniques wherever possible. The Group has actively engaged environmental agencies during the year to improve these processes and is enhancing its business continuity planning.
Financial risk management
The nature of the groups operations, essentially being the production of complex, long lead-time capital equipment, most of which is exported, can give rise to the need for bank finance on exceptional circumstances and international currency transactions. The business operations are run through the cash generation from those operations. Bank financing has typically been used for restructuring and acquisitions. The associated financial risks are liquidity, interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations.
The group operates a centralised treasury function, which acts within clearly defined policies approved by the Board that are designed to reduce the financial risk faced by the group. No speculative trading in currency or other financial instruments is undertaken. Liquidity is maintained through effective operational practices for working capital and cash flow management, supported by the availability of adequate borrowing facilities.
Transactional foreign currency exchange rate exposure is managed through the use of forward foreign currency contracts. Bad debts are also an ever-present financial risk, managed by the use of credit rating checks and effective credit control techniques.
Research and development
During 2012, research and development expenditure amounted to 9% (2011: 6%) of revenue. The group continues to commit significant resources to research and development activities in order to design, produce and promote new products, to improve and upgrade existing products and to exploit new technologies. Development work is principally initiated by, or carried out in conjunction with, customers in order to improve or introduce products for a known market. This approach reduces the inherent risk in research and development activities.
Dividend
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.
Directors
The directors who held office during the period to 31 December 2012 are as shown on page 1. The only change in the year being Richard Rees resigning and Richard Craven being appointed as Company Secretary, both on 2 April 2012.
Directors indemnity
The SPTS Group has granted to some of its directors an indemnity (to the extent permitted by the Companies Act 2006) in respect of liabilities relating to proceedings brought by third parties and incurred as a result of their office. This qualifying third party indemnity remains in force as at the date of approving the directors report. This indemnity does not provide cover in the event that the director is proved to have acted dishonestly or fraudulently.
Donations
There were no charitable or political donations made during the period.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
DIRECTORS REPORT (continued)
Employees
The group believes that its employees are one of its greatest assets and continue to add value to the business. The group continues to encourage employee involvement by making information available to employees. The group has procedures for the communication of significant business issues to all subsidiaries. Each subsidiary has internal procedures for consulting and communicating with employees to maximise the contribution of each employee to the development of the business. This is supported through newsletters and also through regular employee briefings at which members of the executive team outline group performance and future objectives.
It is the groups policy to give employment opportunities to disabled persons whenever possible and to afford such employees equal opportunities for training, career development and promotion. SPTS has a declared policy as an equal opportunity employer.
Going concern
SPTS Group has achieved relatively strong results for 2012 and also expects to in 2013. Due to the nature of the business and the working capital needed to fund the production of capital equipment, management of cash remains a key priority for the business. The directors monitor cash flow forecasts closely and on a timely basis. The group has positive cash balances, group borrowing facilities have been renewed for 2012, the covenants attached to the facilities are not in breach and the directors are managing the level of facilities available and cash flow to meet future growth.
The directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the group for the period to December 2013 and beyond and are satisfied that these forecasts take account of all foreseeable expected events in that period. The directors believe that the groups forecast results, in addition to its existing finance facilities, are sufficient to continue to meet its ongoing working capital requirements and fund continued growth of the business. The directors believe that the company is well placed to manage these business risks.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Auditors
In the case of each of the persons who are directors of the company at the date when this report is approved:
| so far as each of the directors is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the companys auditors are unaware; and |
| each of the directors has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the companys auditors are aware of that information. |
This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of s418 of the Companies Act 2006.
Ernst and Young LLP have indicated their willingness to continue in office and a resolution for their reappointment will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the revised financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the revised financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these revised financial statements, the directors are required to:
| select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed; and |
| prepare the revised financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the companys transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2012
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The directors submit their revised Annual Report on the affairs of the company, together with the revised financial statements and auditors report, for the year ended 31 December 2012. This revised Annual Report replaces the original Annual Report for the financial year, which has been prepared as at the date of the original directors report and not as at the date of the revision and accordingly does not deal with any events between those dates. This revised Annual Report is now the statutory accounts for SPTS Technologies Group Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012. The original Consolidated Cash Flow Statement was not prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Policies, as a result the directors of the Company have chosen to withdraw the original financial statements and prepare revised financial statements which include a revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. Refer to note 26 for further detail.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards. A summary of the principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year, are as follows:
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.
Basis of preparation
The group results consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries. On 1 August 2011, following the creation of the new SPTS Technologies Group Ltd, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the 5 months to 31 December 2011. The current year results are presented for the year to 31 December 2012.
In respect of acquisitions, the results of subsidiaries acquired or sold are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed. Such acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method.
Going concern
SPTS Group has achieved relatively strong results for 2012 and also expects to in 2013. Due to the nature of the business and the working capital needed to fund the production of capital equipment, management of cash remains a key priority for the business. The directors monitor cash flow forecasts closely and on a timely basis. The group has positive cash balances, group borrowing facilities have been renewed for 2012, the covenants attached to the facilities are not in breach and the directors are managing the level of facilities available and cash flow to meet future growth.
The directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the group for the period to December 2013 and beyond and are satisfied that these forecasts take account of all foreseeable expected events in that period. The directors believe that the groups forecast results, in addition to its existing finance facilities, are sufficient to continue to meet its ongoing working capital requirements and fund continued growth of the business. The directors believe that the company is well placed to manage these business risks.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Intangible assets Development costs, patents and trademarks
Development costs, patents and trademarks are included at cost and depreciated in equal annual instalments over a period of 20 years which is their estimated useful economic life.
Intangible assets Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings and businesses, representing any excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life, which is 20 years. Provision is made for any impairment.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2012
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation. Freehold land is not depreciated. On other assets, depreciation has been computed to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives using the following rates:
Freehold buildings | 2% per annum | |
Leasehold improvements | Period of the lease | |
Demonstration machines | 20% per annum | |
Plant and machinery | 10% per annum | |
Fixtures, fittings and equipment | 10% to 33% per annum |
Investments
Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any impairment.
Joint ventures and associates
The transactions resulting from joint ventures and associates have been treated in accordance with FRS 9 Associates and joint ventures. The groups share of the joint venture and/or associate profit or loss is included in the consolidated profit and loss account and its share of the joint venture and/or associate net assets or liabilities is included in the consolidated balance sheet within investments. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of associates is being amortised over 5 years due to the uncertainties inherent with start up R&D companies. Any unamortised balance of goodwill is included in the carrying value of the investment in associates.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods includes materials, labour and a relevant proportion of production overheads. Provision has been made for excess and slow-moving items where appropriate.
Taxation
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation is provided in full on timing differences that result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account in the year in which it is incurred.
Turnover
The companys turnover represents amounts receivable, excluding value added tax and trade discounts, in respect of goods and services provided in the normal course of business. Revenue is recognised on the despatch of goods or the supply of services in line with SPTS right to receive consideration having delivered the majority of the related goods and services. An appropriate proportion of the revenue in relation to the sale of machines is deferred. This relates to system installation revenue and is deferred until such time as the installation is complete and accepted by the customer. Associated costs are also deferred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2012
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Foreign exchange
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD and recorded at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling at that date or, if appropriate, at the forward contract rate. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is dealt with in the profit and loss account.
The results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into USD at the average rates of exchange during the year and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The difference arising from the translation of the opening net investment in subsidiaries, the results of operations, and matched long-term foreign currency borrowings are taken directly to reserves.
Leases
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised at the fair value of the asset at the inception of the lease, with an equivalent liability categorised as appropriate under creditors due within and after more than one year.
The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of the capital repayments outstanding.
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Government grants
When the conditions of grants are met, the revenue element is credited to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred and the capital element is credited to the profit and loss account over the expected useful life of the related assets.
Pension costs
The amount of pension contributions payable in the year is charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
Interest and borrowings
All interest-bearing loans and borrowings from Bridgepoint are initially recognised at net proceeds. After initial recognition debt is increased by the interest cost in respect of the reporting period and reduced by repayments made in the period. On an annual basis accrued interest on the Bridgepoint loan notes will be satisfied by the issue of PIK notes, and interest charged in the following year is based on the compounded amount accordingly. Interest payable to SPP accrues using the effective interest method over the term of the loan.
Share based payments
Equity settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted and is recognised as an expense over the vesting period, which ends on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the company (market conditions). No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest.
At each balance sheet date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and managements best estimate of the market conditions at that time. The movement in cumulative expense since the previous balance sheet date is recognised in the income statement, with a corresponding entry in equity.
15
SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2012
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Cash settled transactions
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured at fair value. Fair value is established initially at the grant date and at each balance sheet date thereafter until the awards are settled. During the vesting period a liability is recognised representing the product of the fair value of the award and the portion of the vesting period expired as at the balance sheet date. From the end of the vesting period until settlement, the liability represents the full fair value of the award as at the balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying amount for the liability are recognised in profit or loss for the period.
Warranty provision
The warranty provision relates to the expected costs of providing repairs and spares under warranty agreements given to customers.
Related party transactions
In accordance with the exception permitted by paragraph 17 of Financial Reporting Standard 8, transactions with wholly owned group companies are not reported.

7. | SHARE BASED PAYMENT |
Share participation plan
Employees of SPTS UK group in UK and US were offered the right to purchase a beneficial interest in certain C ordinary shares of $0.01 each in the capital of SPTS Technologies Group Limited for $2.01 per C ordinary share. In total 9,720 shares were purchased by SPTS UK group employees under the plan in 2011. A further 5,608 shares were purchased under this arrangement in July 2012.
The grant date fair value as measured under FRS 20 is $2.01 and therefore no additional expense has been recognized in the profit and loss account under FRS 20.
Cash bonus plan
Employees outside of the UK and US were offered the right to participate in a scheme based on an allocation of notional shares for which they paid $2.01 per notional share and will receive a cash bonus related to the value of the notional share at the time of sale. In total 2,476 notional shares were purchased by SPTS UK group employees under this plan in 2011. A further 272 shares were purchased under this arrangement in July 2012. An additional 1,497 of shares were issued to the Trust, these are not allocated to specific individuals.
At the year end the Board of Directors consider that the value of the notional shares remains at $2.01 per share and hence no additional costs have been taken into account in the profit and loss account.
Cash Ratchet
The Articles of Association contain a ratchet whereby, upon the occurrence of certain events, an amount of the A ordinary shares will convert into deferred shares such that the number of B ordinary shares held (when expressed as a percentage of the whole of the issued share capital of the Company) shall increase by up to a maximum of 8% of the entire issued share capital. The trigger event for the application of this ratchet is the repayment of shareholder loan notes and interest by the Company on or before 27 June 2012, with a repayment of $100,000,000 in aggregate resulting in the full 8% ratchet being applied.
On 31 May 2012, SPTS Technologies Holdings Limited redeemed, in aggregate, US$51,767,183 nominal amount of certain of the Bridgepoint Loan Notes and all of the PIK Notes plus all interest that had accrued thereon. On 26 June 2012, SPTS Technologies Holdings Limited redeemed, in aggregate, a further $24,725,335 of the nominal value of the Bridgepoint Loan Notes together with all interest that had accrued thereon. See note 16 for further detail.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7. | SHARE BASED PAYMENT (continued) |
Accordingly, an aggregate amount of $85,000,000 of the Bridgepoint loan notes were redeemed on or prior to the first anniversary of the Bridgepoint investment in the group.
The ratchet operated by converting existing A ordinary and C ordinary shares into deferred shares, albeit only the A ordinary shares were diluted. The conversion of the C ordinary shares was to ensure that the percentage of the C ordinary shares remained constant. The net effect of the ratchet was to increase the B ordinary share percentage shareholding by 6.8%.
The Directors of the company hold B ordinary shares and the additional value attributed to the B ordinary shares from, inter alia, this ratchet has been reflected in the original price paid of $3.31 per B Ordinary share and as such the Board of Directors consider this to be fair value under FRS 20 and hence no additional costs have been taken into account in the profit and loss.

The tax rate in the current year is a blended rate for the financial year based upon corporation tax rate of 26% from 1 April 2011 and 24% for the tax year from 1 April 2012.
(c) Factors that may affect future tax charges
The group earns a high proportion of its profits within the UK.
In March 2012 the Chancellor announced the reduction in the main rate of corporation tax to 23% with effect from 1 April. These changes became substantively enacted on 29 March 2012, and therefore the effect of these rate reductions has been reflected in the deferred tax balances which have been calculated at a rate of 23%.

On 24 July 2012, the group agreed terms with BluGlass Limited (BG) to transfer SPTS Technologies UK Limiteds shareholding in EpiBlu Technologies Pty Ltd (EB) in return for an additional 5% of the fully diluted share capital of BG such that SPTS Technologies UK Limiteds aggregate shareholding in BG would be 24.9%. On and from registration, the risk attaching to the sale shares will be taken to have passed as at 30 June 2012. The agreement was subject to BG shareholder approval which was subsequently obtained. As a result of ceasing to hold any shares in EB, the joint venture agreement entered into on 30 August 2010 between BG, EB and SPTS Technologies UK Limited was terminated. The associate has been treated as an Other investment as the group does not hold any significant long term influence as a result of the disposal of EB.
On 21 December 2012 BG completed a capital raising exercise in which the group did not participate. Accordingly the SPTS Technologies UK Limiteds shareholding in BG was diluted to 22.45%.
The accumulated cost of both EpiBlu (Joint Venture) and BluGlass (Associate) of $5,597,000 was transferred to Investments on 30 June 2012. The value of this investment in SPTS Technologies UK Ltd entity financial statements is $10,926,000. The difference being, amounts taken to the profit and loss account in the consolidated financial statements via the equity accounting method.

The revised financial statements have been prepared as at the date of the original financial statements and not as at the date of revision and accordingly do not deal with events between those two dates.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2013.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the group is the design, manufacture, test and distribution of a range of specialised equipment used by the groups customers to produce semi-conductor-related devices. These devices include commercial microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), advanced packaging applications, power semiconductors, radio frequency chips and LEDs.
Business review
In 2013, SPTS continued to provide a broad range of wafer processing equipment to produce various types of semiconductor devices. The companys products are used in both production and research environments across a number of markets. The company sells its products on a worldwide basis to a diversified customer base. These factors ensure that revenue risks continue to be well spread and help the company continue to manage market conditions in the future. Management has focused on positioning the business in key high growth market sectors and production accounts. Although SPTS experienced year on year revenue decline due to generally weak market conditions, the company consolidated its strength within its chosen markets by focusing on its customers, placing new technologies in strategic markets and customers and launching new products. These share gains were supported by continued improvements to operations, internal control procedures, procurement practices and cost control. As such, the directors believe SPTS is well positioned to take advantage of the next cyclical growth cycle in the semiconductor industry.
The key financial and performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Despite declining market conditions SPTS achieved relatively strong performance in 2013 as evidenced by the groups solid revenue, profit performance and cash generated from operations (before repayment of shareholder loans). The results did decline from 2012 levels but this was in line with industry trends. Despite the decline in revenue, SPTS maintained market share within its key MEMS market and grew share in the Advanced Packaging sector. The company also increased sales in Advanced Packaging year on year. The lower revenue level is a result of uncertain global macroeconomic conditions which led to low consumer confidence and spending. The macroeconomic recovery is taking longer than expected going into the 2013 calendar year and runs up to 2014. It is a well documented fact that the semiconductor space is driven by worldwide GDP, and the trickledown effect of these issues adversely affected the semi market space.
However during this period, SPTS has continued to build on its core values focusing on delivery of first class solutions to its customers, cost reductions in both product costs and operating cost base, developing its product range and protecting its market share. Furthermore SPTS has continued to improve the structure of its business to adapt to changes in demand levels to maintain profit and cash generation from operations throughout the year demonstrating the flexible nature of the business model and decisions made by management.
SPTS has managed to improve gross margins in a declining market as a result of continued focus on reducing product cost; maintaining average selling prices on system sales; increasing spares, service and upgrade sales which attract higher margins; operational efficiencies and offering technology and solutions that are best in class.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT (continued)
The directors expect the general level of activity to improve in 2014 in line with the market consensus. Market projections for 2014 are strong and SPTS is well positioned to capitalise on the expected return to growth in the industry due to previous acquisitions, existing customer positions, new technology placements during the year and continued investment in research and development. Having been able to deliver a stable 2013 in adverse market conditions, the company will be able to consolidate and grow revenue and profit market momentum improves.
The net assets of the business were $35.5 million as at 31 December 2013 (2012: $30.3 million). The movement of $5.2 million being the profit generated in the year.
In the second half of 2013, the Group repaid $25 million of its shareholder loans to Bridgepoint. This was funded by a dividend paid up the Group structure from SPTS Technologies Limited. This fully repaid the Senior Shareholding Loan note and accrued interest to date plus a percentage of the Investment Loan note with Bridgepoint and the SPP Loan Note.
Operational risk management
The group regards the provision of a safe working environment as essential for its employees and the supply of products which are fully safety compliant as paramount for its customers. The groups operations have a low environmental impact on the local communities in which they are situated and are compliant with environmental regulations, following best practice and best available techniques wherever possible. The Group has actively engaged environmental agencies during the year to improve these processes and is enhancing its business continuity planning.
Financial risk management
The nature of the groups operations, essentially being the production of complex, long lead-time capital equipment, most of which is exported, can give rise to the need for bank guarantees in exported sales and international currency transactions. The business operations are run through the cash generation from those operations. Bank financing has typically been used for restructuring and acquisitions. The associated financial risks are liquidity, interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations.
The group operates a centralised treasury function, which acts within clearly defined policies approved by the Board that are designed to reduce the financial risk faced by the group. No speculative trading in currency or other financial instruments is undertaken. Liquidity is maintained through effective operational practices for working capital and cash flow management, supported by the availability of adequate borrowing facilities.
Transactional foreign currency exchange rate exposure is managed through the use of forward foreign currency contracts. Bad debts are also an ever-present financial risk, managed by the use of credit rating checks and effective credit control techniques.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
The directors submit their revised Annual Report on the affairs of the company, together with the revised financial statements and auditors report, for the year ended 31 December 2013. This revised Annual Report replaces the original Annual Report for the financial year, which has been prepared as at the date of the original directors report and not as at the date of the revision and accordingly does not deal with any events between those dates. This revised Annual Report is now the statutory accounts for SPTS Technologies Group Limited for the year ended 31 December 2013. The original Consolidated Cash Flow Statement was not prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Policies, as a result the directors of the Company have chosen to withdraw the original financial statements and prepare revised financial statements which include a revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement.
Directors
The directors who held office during the period to 31 December 2013 are as shown on page 1.
Dividend
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.
Directors indemnity
The SPTS Group has granted to some of its directors an indemnity (to the extent permitted by the Companies Act 2006) in respect of liabilities relating to proceedings brought by third parties and incurred as a result of their office. This qualifying third party indemnity remains in force as at the date of approving the directors report. This indemnity does not provide cover in the event that the director is proved to have acted dishonestly or fraudulently.
Research and development
During 2013, research and development expenditure amounted to 11% (2012: 9%) of revenue. The group continues to commit significant resources to research and development activities in order to design, produce and promote new products, to improve and upgrade existing products and to exploit new technologies. Development work is principally initiated by, or carried out in conjunction with, customers in order to improve or introduce products for a known market. This approach reduces the inherent risk in research and development activities.
Employees
The group believes that its employees are one of its greatest assets and continue to add value to the business. The group continues to encourage employee involvement by making information available to employees. The group has procedures for the communication of significant business issues to all subsidiaries. Each subsidiary has internal procedures for consulting and communicating with employees to maximise the contribution of each employee to the development of the business. This is supported through newsletters and also through regular employee briefings at which members of the executive team outline group performance and future objectives.
It is the groups policy to give employment opportunities to disabled persons whenever possible and to afford such employees equal opportunities for training, career development and promotion. SPTS has a declared policy as an equal opportunity employer.
Going concern
SPTS Group has achieved relatively strong results given the weak market for 2013 and expects to continue to do so in 2014. Due to the nature of the business and the working capital needed to fund the production of capital equipment, management of cash remains a key priority for the business. The directors monitor cash flow forecasts closely and on a timely basis. The group has positive cash balances, group borrowing facilities were renewed in 2012, the covenants attached to the facilities are not in breach and the directors are managing the level of facilities available and cash flow to meet future growth.
The directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the group for the period to March 2015 and beyond and are satisfied that these forecasts take account of all foreseeable expected events in that period. The directors believe that the groups forecast results, in addition to its existing finance facilities, are sufficient to continue to meet its ongoing working capital requirements and fund continued growth of the business. The directors believe that the company is well placed to manage these business risks.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2013
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The directors submit their revised Annual Report on the affairs of the company, together with the revised financial statements and auditors report, for the year ended 31 December 2013. This revised Annual Report replaces the original Annual Report for the financial year, which has been prepared as at the date of the original directors report and not as at the date of the revision and accordingly does not deal with any events between those dates. This revised Annual Report is now the statutory accounts for SPTS Technologies Group Limited for the year ended 31 December 2013. The original Consolidated Cash Flow Statement was not prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Policies, as a result the directors of the Company have chosen to withdraw the original financial statements and prepare revised financial statements which include a revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. Refer to note 26 for further detail.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards. A summary of the principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year, are as follows:
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.
Basis of preparation
The group results consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries. The current year results are presented for the year to 31 December 2013.
In respect of acquisitions, the results of subsidiaries acquired or sold are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed. Such acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method.
Going concern
SPTS Group has achieved relatively strong results for 2013 and expects to continue to do so in 2014. Due to the nature of the business and the working capital needed to fund the production of capital equipment, management of cash remains a key priority for the business. The directors monitor cash flow forecasts closely and on a timely basis. The group has positive cash balances, group borrowing facilities were renewed in 2012, the covenants attached to the facilities are not in breach and the directors are managing the level of facilities available and cash flow to meet future growth.
The directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the group for the period to March 2015 and beyond and are satisfied that these forecasts take account of all foreseeable expected events in that period. The directors believe that the groups forecast results, in addition to its existing finance facilities, are sufficient to continue to meet its ongoing working capital requirements and fund continued growth of the business. The directors believe that the company is well placed to manage these business risks.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Intangible assets Development costs, patents and trademarks
Development costs, patents and trademarks are included at cost and depreciated in equal annual instalments over a period of 20 years which is their estimated useful economic life.
Intangible assets Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings and businesses, representing any excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life, which is 20 years. Provision is made for any impairment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2013
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation. Freehold land is not depreciated. On other assets, depreciation has been computed to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives using the following rates:
Freehold buildings | 2% per annum | |
Leasehold improvements | Period of the lease | |
Demonstration machines | 20% per annum | |
Plant and machinery | 10% per annum | |
Fixtures, fittings and equipment | 10% to 33% per annum |
Investments
Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any impairment.
Joint ventures and associates
The transactions resulting from joint ventures and associates have been treated in accordance with FRS 9 Associates and joint ventures. The groups share of the joint venture and/or associate profit or loss is included in the consolidated profit and loss account and its share of the joint venture and/or associate net assets or liabilities is included in the consolidated balance sheet within investments. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of associates is being amortised over 5 years due to the uncertainties inherent with start up R&D companies. Any unamortised balance of goodwill is included in the carrying value of the investment in associates.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods includes materials, labour and a relevant proportion of production overheads. Provision has been made for excess and slow-moving items where appropriate.
Taxation
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation is provided in full on timing differences that result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account in the year in which it is incurred.
Turnover
The companys turnover represents amounts receivable, excluding value added tax and trade discounts, in respect of goods and services provided in the normal course of business. Revenue is recognised on the despatch of goods or the supply of services in line with SPTS right to receive consideration having delivered the majority of the related goods and services. An appropriate proportion of the revenue in relation to the sale of machines is deferred. This relates to system installation revenue and is deferred until such time as the installation is complete and accepted by the customer. Associated costs are also deferred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2013
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Foreign exchange
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD and recorded at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling at that date or, if appropriate, at the forward contract rate. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is dealt with in the profit and loss account.
The results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into USD at the average rates of exchange during the year and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The difference arising from the translation of the opening net investment in subsidiaries, the results of operations, and matched long-term foreign currency borrowings are taken directly to reserves.
Leases
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised at the fair value of the asset at the inception of the lease, with an equivalent liability categorised as appropriate under creditors due within and after more than one year.
The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of the capital repayments outstanding.
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Government grants
When the conditions of grants are met, the revenue element is credited to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred and the capital element is credited to the profit and loss account over the expected useful life of the related assets.
Pension costs
The amount of pension contributions payable in the year is charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
Interest and borrowings
All interest-bearing loans and borrowings from Bridgepoint are initially recognised at net proceeds. After initial recognition debt is increased by the interest cost in respect of the reporting period and reduced by repayments made in the period. On an annual basis accrued interest on the Bridgepoint loan notes will be satisfied by the issue of PIK notes, and interest charged in the following year is based on the compounded amount accordingly. Interest payable to SPP accrues using the effective interest method over the term of the loan.
Share based payments
Equity settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted and is recognised as an expense over the vesting period, which ends on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the company (market conditions). No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest.
At each balance sheet date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and managements best estimate of the market conditions at that time. The movement in cumulative expense since the previous balance sheet date is recognised in the income statement, with a corresponding entry in equity.

SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2013
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Cash settled transactions
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured at fair value. Fair value is established initially at the grant date and at each balance sheet date thereafter until the awards are settled. During the vesting period a liability is recognised representing the product of the fair value of the award and the portion of the vesting period expired as at the balance sheet date. From the end of the vesting period until settlement, the liability represents the full fair value of the award as at the balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying amount for the liability are recognised in profit or loss for the period.
Warranty provision
The warranty provision relates to the expected costs of providing repairs and spares under warranty agreements given to customers.
Related party transactions
In accordance with the exception permitted by paragraph 17 of Financial Reporting Standard 8, transactions with wholly owned group companies are not reported.

7. | SHARE BASED PAYMENTS |
Share participation plan
Employees of SPTS UK group in UK and US were offered the right to purchase a beneficial interest in certain C ordinary shares of $0.01 each in the capital of SPTS Technologies Group Limited for $2.01 per C ordinary share. In total 9,720 shares were purchased by SPTS UK group employees under the plan in 2011. A further 5,608 shares were purchased under this arrangement in July 2012.
The grant date fair value as measured under FRS 20 is $2.01 and therefore no additional expense has been recognized in the profit and loss account under FRS 20.
Cash bonus plan
Employees outside of the UK and US were offered the right to participate in a scheme based on an allocation of notional shares for which they paid $2.01 per notional share and will receive a cash bonus related to the value of the notional share at the time of sale. In total 2,476 notional shares were purchased by SPTS UK group employees under this plan in 2011. A further 272 shares were purchased under this arrangement in July 2012. An additional 1,497 of shares were issued to the Trust, these are not allocated to specific individuals.
At the year end the Board of Directors consider that the value of the notional shares remains at $2.01 per share and hence no additional costs have been taken into account in the profit and loss account.
Cash Ratchet
The Articles of Association contain a ratchet whereby, upon the occurrence of certain events, an amount of the A ordinary shares will convert into deferred shares such that the number of B ordinary shares held (when expressed as a percentage of the whole of the issued share capital of the Company) shall increase by up to a maximum of 8% of the entire issued share capital. The trigger event for the application of this ratchet is the repayment of shareholder loan notes and interest by the Company on or before 27 June 2012, with a repayment of $100,000,000 in aggregate resulting in the full 8% ratchet being applied.
On 31 May 2012, SPTS Technologies Holdings Limited redeemed, in aggregate, US$51,767,183 nominal amount of certain of the Bridgepoint Loan Notes and all of the PIK Notes plus all interest that had accrued thereon. On 26 June 2012, SPTS Technologies Holdings Limited redeemed, in aggregate, a further $24,725,335 of the nominal value of the Bridgepoint Loan Notes together with all interest that had accrued thereon. See note 16 for further detail.
Accordingly, an aggregate amount of $85,000,000 of the Bridgepoint loan notes were redeemed on or prior to the first anniversary of the Bridgepoint investment in the group.
The ratchet operated by converting existing A ordinary and C ordinary shares into deferred shares, albeit only the A ordinary shares were diluted. The conversion of the C ordinary shares was to ensure that the percentage of the C ordinary shares remained constant. The net effect of the ratchet was to increase the B ordinary share percentage shareholding by 6.8%.
The Directors of the company hold B ordinary shares and the additional value attributed to the B ordinary shares from, inter alia, this ratchet has been reflected in the original price paid of $3.31 per B Ordinary share and as such the Board of Directors consider this to be fair value under FRS 20 and hence no additional costs have been taken into account in the profit and loss.

On 24 July 2012, the group agreed terms with BluGlass Limited (BG) to transfer SPTS Technologies UK Limiteds shareholding in EpiBlu Technologies Pty Ltd (EB) in return for an additional 5% of the fully diluted share capital of BG such that SPTS Technologies UK Limiteds aggregate shareholding in BG would be 24.9%. On and from registration, the risk attaching to the sale shares will be taken to have passed as at 30 June 2012. The agreement was subject to BG shareholder approval which was subsequently obtained. As a result of ceasing to hold any shares in EB, the joint venture agreement entered into on 30 August 2010 between BG, EB and SPTS Technologies UK Limited was terminated. The associate has been treated as an Other investment as the group does not hold any significant long term influence as a result of the disposal of EB.
On 21 December 2012 BG completed a capital raising exercise in which the group did not participate. Accordingly the SPTS Technologies UK Limiteds shareholding in BG was diluted to 22.45%.
During 2013 BG issued further shares which the group did not participate in. The result being a further dilution on SPTS shareholding to 22.14%
The accumulated cost of both EpiBlu (Joint Venture) and BluGlass (Associate) of $5,597,000 was transferred to Investments on 30 June 2012. The difference between the cost held in the consolidated financial statements to the cost held in SPTS Technologies UK Ltd being the amounts taken to the profit and loss account in the consolidated financial statements via the equity accounting method and any provision for impairment in the financial statements.

26. | REVISION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The directors of the Company have noted that the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement that was presented in the original financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 was not prepared under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Policies. As a result the directors of the Company have chosen to withdraw the original financial statements and prepare revised financial statements which include a revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. These revised financial statements are considered to be the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013. The revised financial statements have been prepared as at the date of the original financial statements and not as at the date of revision and accordingly do not deal with events between those two dates.
In addition to the revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement the directors have also chosen to amend the notes to the accounts affected by the changes in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. The revised Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the revised financial statements also include additional disclosures and amendments in note 21 to the revised financial statements.
