INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein are the Independent Auditors Report and Audited Financial Statements of SPTS Technologies Group Limited for the period from January 1, 2014 to August 7, 2014.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Report contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to, among other things, future prospects, developments and business strategies and involve certain risks and uncertainties. The words anticipate, believe, could, will, plan, expect and would and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, have been used in this report to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on managements expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting Orbotech and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to Orbotechs operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Companys control. Many factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected including, without limitation, cyclicality in the industries in which the Company operates, the Companys production capacity, timing and occurrence of product acceptance (the Company defines bookings and backlog as purchase arrangements with customers that are based on mutually agreed terms, which, in some cases for bookings and backlog, 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 the Company operates, the timing and strength of product and service offerings by the Company and its 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 as well as automobiles, the Companys global operations and its ability to comply with varying legal, regulatory, exchange, tax and customs regimes, the Companys ability to achieve strategic initiatives, including related to its acquisition strategy, the Companys debt and corporate financing activities; the final timing and outcome (each, expected in mid- to-late 2016), and impact of the criminal matter and ongoing investigation in Korea, including any 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 Companys customers, which may result in monetary judgments or settlements, expenses associated with the Korean Matter, ongoing or increased hostilities in Israel and the surrounding areas, and other risks detailed in the Companys SEC reports, including the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015, and subsequent SEC filings. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information in this report to reflect new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
ISRAELI LAW UPDATES
Further to the description in Item 10.B(b) of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015, entitled Board of Directors, a recent amendment to regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the Companies Law), enables (but does not require) companies without a controlling shareholder and whose shares are traded on specified U.S. stock exchanges, including the Nasdaq Global
1
Select Market, to elect to opt out of the requirement to maintain external directors or, alternatively, to retain external directors, but to opt out of the composition requirements under the Companies Law with respect to either or both of the audit committee and the remuneration committee; in each case, provided that it meets the requirements of U.S. law and relevant stock exchange rules with respect to independent directors and the composition of audit committees and remuneration committees as applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. After considering this matter, the Companys Board of Directors has decided not to elect to opt out of any such requirement at this time.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To Management and the Board of Directors of
SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SPTS Technologies Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of August 7, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, capital deficiency and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2014 through August 7, 2014.
Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Companys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at August 7, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 2014 to August 7, 2014 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
a. | General |
(i) | Nature of operations |
SPTS Technologies Group Ltd. (the Company or SPTS) is a U.K.-based corporation, which, together with its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacture, marketing and servicing of etch, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and thermal processing equipment for use in the manufacture of micro-electro-mechanical systems, advanced semiconductor packaging, power, radio frequency and high brightness light emitting diode devices.
(ii) | Accounting principles |
These consolidated financial statements at August 7, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2014 through August 7, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. The purpose of these financial statements is to meet the reporting requirements of the Companys ultimate parent, Orbotech Ltd., pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933.
(iii) | Functional currency |
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted is the United States dollar (the Dollar).
Monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the Dollar are re-measured using the representative foreign exchange rate on the date of the balance sheet. Operational accounts and non-monetary balance sheet accounts are measured and recorded at the rate in effect at the date of the transaction. The effects of foreign currency re-measurement are recorded in financial expenses - net, as appropriate.
(iv) | Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently actual results may differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.
b. | Principles of consolidation |
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Profits from intercompany sales not yet realized outside of the Company and its subsidiaries have also been eliminated.
F-8
SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
c. | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments including cash and short-term bank deposits that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and the period to maturity of which does not exceed three months at the time of investment, to be cash equivalents.
d. | Concentration of credit risks and allowance for doubtful accounts |
As of August 7, 2014, most of the Companys cash and cash equivalents were deposited with major European, United States and Far Eastern banks. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respect of these balances is not material.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. In respect of sales to customers in certain economies, the Company may require letters of credit from banks.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined for specific debts doubtful of collection.
e. | Inventories |
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined as follows: components, products in process and finished products - on the weighted average basis; and labor and overhead - on the basis of actual manufacturing costs assuming normal manufacturing capacity.
Inventories are written-down for estimated excess and obsolescence, based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Once written-down, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established.
F-9
SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
f. | Property, plant and equipment |
These assets are stated at cost and are depreciated by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
% | ||
Machinery and equipment |
10-20 | |
(mainly 20) | ||
Leasehold improvements |
Over the term of the lease (mainly 10) | |
Building |
2 | |
Office furniture and equipment |
10-33 | |
Computer equipment |
20-33 | |
Vehicles |
15-20 |
g. | Other intangible assets |
Acquired intangible assets are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization and impairments. These intangible assets consist primarily of intellectual property and customer relations and are being amortized mostly over periods of five to seven years.
h. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
Long-lived assets, including definite life intangible assets, held and used by an entity are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets (or asset group) may not be recoverable. In the event that the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets (or asset group) is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment charge would be recognized, and the assets (or asset group) would be written down to their estimated fair values.
i. | Goodwill |
Goodwill is not amortized, but rather tested for impairment annually, as of September 30 of each year, or whenever events or circumstances present an indication of impairment, by assessing the fair value of the Companys various reporting units.
The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be required. Otherwise, goodwill impairment is tested using a two-step approach.
F-10
SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
The first step involves comparing the fair value of a companys reporting units to their carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting units carrying amount is determined to be greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The implied fair value of the goodwill in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying value of the goodwill, an impairment loss equivalent to the difference is recorded.
j. | Revenue recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products to end users upon delivery, provided that appropriate documentation of the arrangement, such as a signed contract, purchase order or letter of agreement, has been received by the Company, the fee or sale price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company, in the normal course of business, provides a right of return to its customers; however, this right has never been enacted by any of its customers. Installation and training are not essential to the product capabilities as they do not require specialized skills and can be performed by other vendors.
The Companys revenue arrangements contain multiple elements, such as product and installation service. Upon meeting the revenue recognition criteria of the product, the Company records a portion of the sale price that relates to the value of the services expected to be performed during the aforementioned period as deferred income, and recognizes it as service revenue when performed.
When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as product installation, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), if available, and otherwise is based on third party evidence (TPE) or on the relative estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Because of the nature of its products, the Company generally utilizes the ESP.
The determination of ESP involves consideration of several factors based on the specific facts and circumstances of the arrangement. Specifically, the Company considers the cost to produce the deliverable, the anticipated margin on that deliverable, the selling price and profit margin for similar parts in different geographical regions, its ongoing pricing strategy and policies and other economic conditions and trends.
In the case of delivery of newly developed products or technologies, revenue is deferred until acceptance is received.
Service revenue in respect of the Companys products is recognized ratably over the contractual service period or in a fee for services arrangement, as services are performed.
The Company recognizes revenues net of value added tax.
F-11
SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
k. | Warranty |
The Company provides for the estimated cost of warranty when revenue is recognized. Estimated warranty costs are determined by analyzing specific product, current and historical configuration statistics and regional warranty support costs. The Companys warranty obligation is affected by product and component failure rates, material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting product failures during the warranty period. If actual warranty costs differ substantially from the Companys estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
l. | Research and development |
Research and development expenses, which consist mainly of labor costs, materials and subcontractors, are expensed as incurred. Pre-payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability. Government funding for development of approved projects is recognized as a reduction of expenses as the related cost is incurred. The Company is not required to pay royalties on sales of products developed using government funding.
m. | Shipping and handling costs |
Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of revenues.
n. | Income taxes |
(i) | Deferred income taxes |
Deferred income taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on the tax rates anticipated to be in effect when the deferred taxes are expected to be paid or realized. Valuation allowance is included in respect of deferred tax assets when it is considered more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
The Company may incur additional tax liability in the event of intercompany dividend distributions by some of its subsidiaries. Such additional tax liability in respect of these non-U.K. subsidiaries has not been provided for in these financial statements as it is the Companys policy permanently to reinvest the subsidiaries earnings and to consider distributing dividends only when this can be facilitated in connection with a specific tax or other opportunity that may arise.
Tax liabilities which would apply in the event of disposal of investments in subsidiaries have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, as it is the Companys intention to hold, and not to realize, these investments.
F-12
SPTS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting or, if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting, according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences.
(ii) | Uncertain tax positions |
The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Companys policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. Such liabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within twelve months from the balance sheet date. The Company presents unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists, when settlement in this manner is available under the applicable tax law.
o. | Derivative financial instruments |
The Company uses financial instruments and derivatives to hedge certain anticipated transactions which are probable and are expected to be denominated in non-Dollar currencies.
All derivative instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair value. On the date that the Company enters into a derivative contract it designates the derivative, for accounting purposes, as either a hedging instrument or a non-hedging instrument.
For derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in fair value of the spot component are recorded in other comprehensive income, as gains (losses) in respect of derivative instruments designated for cash flow hedge, net of taxes and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges, if any, and hedge components such as time value, excluded from assessment of effectiveness testing, are recognized immediately in the statement of operations among financial expenses - net.
Cash flows from derivatives that qualify as a cash flow hedge are recognized in the statement of cash flows in the same category as that of the hedged item. Cash flows from other economic derivatives remain part of cash flows from operating activities. As of August 7, 2014 there were no derivative financial instruments outstanding.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued):
b. | Contingent liabilities |
(i) | Intellectual Property |
The Company has in the past received and may receive in the future notifications from customers with respect to possible indemnification or other action by the Company in connection with intellectual property claims resulting from use of the Companys products. The Company typically undertakes, subject to various contractual conditions and other limitations, to defend intellectual property claims against customers arising from the purchase and use of its products. The Companys obligations under these agreements generally provide that the Company may, at its option, either obtain the right to continue using the products or modify them and, in some cases, take back the products with a refund to the customer. To date, no demands have been made by customers seeking indemnification against the Company with respect to intellectual property claims.
(ii) | Litigation |
From time to time, the Company is involved in other claims and legal and administrative proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any such unresolved matters, individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations. However, litigation and administrative proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and the Companys view of these matters, including settlement thereof, may change in the future. An unfavorable outcome or settlement may have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations for the period in which it occurs, and potentially in future periods.
c. | Restrictions on the Companys assets |
See Notes 5(c).
d. | Guarantees |
At August 7, 2014, the Company had given guarantees of $2.0 million in respect of deferred duty in the normal course of trade. There is no expiry on this guarantee.

Each outstanding share allows for one voting share and the ability to receive dividends if and when declared. The A, B and C Ordinary Shares rank pari passu in terms of dividends and voting rights.
The deferred shares arose through the conversion of A Ordinary shares and C Ordinary shares as a result of the operation of a ratchet mechanism contained within the Article of Association.
NOTE 8 - TAXES ON INCOME:
a. | Applicable tax rates |
(i) | Income of U.K companies |
In calculating the Companys corporation tax charge, relief has been taken under the UKs Patent Box regime which enables companies to apply a lower rate of corporation tax to profits generated from its patented products. This lower corporation tax rate is currently 10%. Income not eligible for benefits under the Patent Box regime is taxed at the corporate tax rate of 21.4%
(ii) | Income of non-U.K. subsidiaries |
Non-U.K. subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their countries of residence. Certain subsidiaries operate in several jurisdictions outside U.K., some of which benefit from tax incentives such as reduced tax rates, investment tax credits and accelerated deductions. If earnings are distributed to the U.K. in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be liable to additional U.K. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes. The Companys management has determined not to distribute any amounts of its undistributed income as a dividend if such distribution would result in a tax liability. The Company intends to reinvest the amount of such profits; accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided for.

NOTE 8 - TAXES ON INCOME (continued):
The main reconciling items between the statutory corporate tax rate applicable to U.K. corporations and the actual tax expense for the reported period are the benefits under the Patent Box regime as described above, the different tax rates applicable to non-U.K. subsidiaries as well as certain permanent differences and non-deductible expenses.
d. | Tax assessments |
The Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions having varying statutes of limitations. For the various tax years through 2008, the Company and most of its subsidiaries have either received final tax assessments or the applicable statute of limitations rules have become effective. Open tax years in the following major jurisdictions are: United Kingdom - 2011 and onwards; United States - 2009 and onwards.
e. | Uncertain tax positions |
As of August 7, 2014, the Company has a provision in the total amount of $780,000 for unrecognized tax benefits, classified as a long term liability. During the period from January 1, 2014 through August 7, 2014 there was an increase of $451,000 in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during the period.
NOTE 9 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT:
a. | General |
The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to exposure to market risks, mainly from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company uses financial instruments and derivatives to hedge certain future cash flows in connection with payroll and related expenses and anticipated probable transactions which are expected to be denominated in non-Dollar currencies.
The Company is exposed to losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments; however, as the counterparties are major European banks, the Company does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The Company does not require or place collateral with respect to these financial instruments. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.
b. | Fair value of financial instruments |
The fair value of financial instruments included in working capital is usually close or identical to their carrying amounts. The fair value of non-current other receivables and long-term liabilities, including long term and shareholders loans, also approximates the carrying amounts, since they bear interest at rates close to prevailing market rates.
