NOTE 1:- GENERAL a. B.S.D Crown Ltd. ("B.S.D" or "the Company") is a corporation registered inIsrael. On 5 August 2014 the Company changed its name from Emblaze Ltd. to B.S.D CrownLtd. b. In May 2014 the Company completed the acquisition of a controlling stake(approximately 62%) of Willi-Food Investments Ltd. ("WFI") for an aggregatecash consideration of USD 82.3 million. WFI and its subsidiaries operate inimport, marketing and distribution of a several hundred food products, mainlyin Israel. See Note 3 for further details of the Acquisition. The financialstatements of WFI and its group (the "WFI Group") have been consolidated inthese interim condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of thecompletion of the Acquisition. Due to the extent of the trading activities of WFI that were acquired inrelation to the then existing activities of the B.S.D Group, the Acquisitionwas deemed a reverse takeover under the listing rules of the UK ListingAuthority ("UKLA"), and trading in the Company's shares was accordinglysuspended on 3 March 2014 (the date the Company entered into the agreement forthe Acquisition). On 29 July 2014 the Company published a prospectus in connection with itsreapplication for the listing of its entire issued share capital on theStandard segment of the Official List of the UKLA and for admission to tradingon the London Stock Exchange main market for listed securities. The admissionbecame effective on 4 August 2014. The Company's shares are presently listedfor trading under the symbol BSD. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Basis of preparation of the interim consolidated financialstatements: The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six monthsended 30 June 2014 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, InterimFinancial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union. The interim condensedconsolidated financial statements do not include all the information anddisclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read inconjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December2013. b. Accounting policies adopted by the B.S.D Group as a consequence of theacquisition of the WFI Group: The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensedconsolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in thepreparation of the B.S.D Group's consolidated annual financial statements forthe year ended 31 December 2013. As a consequence of the initial consolidationof the financial statements of the WFI Group, the following accountingpolicies relating to the activities of the WFI Group have been adopted: NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) b. Accounting policies adopted by the B.S.D Group as a consequence of theacquisition of the WFI Group: (Cont.) - Functional currency and presentation currency: The presentation currency of the financial statements is the US dollar. The Group determines the functional currency of each Group entity, includingcompanies accounted for at equity. Assets, including fair value adjustments upon acquisition, and liabilities ofan investee which is a foreign operation, are translated at the closing rateat each reporting date. Profit or loss items are translated at averageexchange rates for all periods presented. The resulting translationdifferences are recognised in other comprehensive income (loss). Intragroup loans for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occurin the foreseeable future are, in substance, a part of the investment in theforeign operation and, accordingly, the exchange rate differences from theseloans (net of the tax effect) are recorded, net of the tax effect, in othercomprehensive income (loss). Upon the full or partial disposal of a foreign operation resulting in loss ofcontrol in the foreign operation, the cumulative gain (loss) from the foreignoperation which had been recognised in other comprehensive income istransferred to profit or loss. Upon the partial disposal of a foreignoperation which results in the retention of control in the subsidiary, therelative portion of the amount recognised in other comprehensive income isreattributed to non-controlling interests. - Business combinations and goodwill: Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method.The cost of the acquisition is measured at the fair value of the considerationtransferred on the acquisition date with the addition of non-controllinginterests in the acquiree. In each business combination, the Company chooseswhether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree based ontheir fair value on the acquisition date or at their proportionate share inthe fair value of the acquiree's net identifiable assets. Direct acquisition costs are carried to the statement of profit or loss asincurred. In a business combination achieved in stages, equity interests in the acquireethat had been held by the acquirer prior to obtaining control are measured atthe acquisition date fair value while recognising a gain or loss resultingfrom the revaluation of the prior investment on the date of achieving control. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) b. Accounting policies adopted by the B.S.D Group as a consequence of theacquisition of the WFI Group (Cont.): - Business combinations and goodwill (Cont.): Contingent consideration is recognised at fair value on the acquisition dateand classified as a financial asset or liability in accordance with IAS 39.Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration arerecognised in profit or loss or in the statement of comprehensive income. Ifthe contingent consideration is classified as an equity instrument, it ismeasured at fair value on the acquisition date without subsequentremeasurement. Goodwill is initially measured at cost which represents theexcess of the acquisition consideration and the amount of non-controllinginterests over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.If the resulting amount is negative, the acquirer recognises the resultinggain on the acquisition date. - Allowance for doubtful accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined in respect of specific debtswhose collection, in the opinion of the Company's management, is doubtful. - Inventories: Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Thecost of inventories comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringingthe inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable valueis the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business lessestimated costs of completion and estimated selling costs. The Companyperiodically evaluates the condition and age of inventories and makesprovisions for slow moving inventories accordingly. Cost of inventories is determined as follows: Purchased merchandise and products - using the weighted average cost method. - Revenue recognition: Revenues are recognised in profit or loss when the revenues can be measuredreliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with thetransaction will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurredin respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. When the Company actsas a principal and is exposed to the risks associated with the transaction,revenues are presented on a gross basis. When the Company acts as an agent andis not exposed to the risks and rewards associated with the transaction,revenues are presented on a net basis. Revenues are measured at the fair valueof the consideration less any trade discounts, volume rebates and returns. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) b. Accounting policies adopted by the B.S.D Group as a consequence of theacquisition of the WFI Group (Cont.): - Revenue recognition (Cont.): Following are the specific revenue recognition criteria which must be metbefore revenue is recognised: Revenues from the sale of goods: Revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when all the significant risksand rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the sellerno longer retains continuing managerial involvement. The delivery date isusually the date on which ownership passes. - Leases: The criteria for classifying leases as finance or operating leases depend onthe substance of the agreements and are made at the inception of the lease inaccordance with the following principles as set out in IAS 17. The Group as lessee: 1. Finance leases: Finance leases transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefitsincidental to ownership of the leased asset. At the commencement of the leaseterm, the leased assets are measured at the lower of the fair value of theleased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortised over the shorter of its useful life or the leaseterm. 2. Operating leases: Lease agreements are classified as an operating lease if they do not transfersubstantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leasedasset. Lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on astraight-line basis over the lease term. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) b. Accounting policies adopted by the B.S.D Group as a consequence of theacquisition of the WFI Group (Cont.): - Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including directattributable costs, less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairmentlosses and excluding day-to-day servicing expenses. Cost includes spare partsand auxiliary equipment that are used in connection with plant and equipment. A part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that issignificant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciatedseparately using the component method. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises the initialestimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring thesite on which the item is located. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life ofthe assets at annual rates as follows: % Mainly % Land 2Buildings 4Motor vehicles 15-20 20Office furniture and equipment 6-15 15Computers 20-33 33Mechanical equipment 10The useful life, depreciation method and residual value of an asset arereviewed at least each year-end and any changes are accounted forprospectively as a change in accounting estimate. Depreciation of an assetceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held forsale and the date that the asset is derecognised. - Intangible assets: Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition atcost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired in abusiness combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.Expenditures relating to internally generated intangible assets, excludingcapitalised development costs, are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortised over their usefullife and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that theasset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method foran intangible asset are reviewed at least at each year end. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not systematicallyamortised and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is anindication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The useful life of theseassets is reviewed annually to determine whether their indefinite lifeassessment continues to be supportable. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) b. Accounting policies adopted by the B.S.D Group as a consequence of theacquisition of the WFI Group (Cont.): If the events and circumstances do not continue to support the assessment, thechange in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accountedfor prospectively as a change in accounting estimate and on that date theasset is tested for impairment. Commencing from that date, the asset isamortised systematically over its useful life. The intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life asfollows: Customer relationships 9 years Supplier relationships 5 years Brands 7 years Non-competition agreements 2 years (starting 2017, see Note 3 (c)) - Impairment of non-financial assets: The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of non-financial assetswhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amountis not recoverable. If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverableamount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverableamount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. Inmeasuring value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using apre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset. Therecoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flowsis determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss of an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if therehave been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverableamount since the last impairment loss was recognised. Reversal of animpairment loss, as above, shall not be increased above the lower of thecarrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation oramortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prioryears and its recoverable amount. The reversal of impairment loss of an assetpresented at cost is recognised in profit or loss. The following criteria are applied in assessing impairment of these specificassets: Goodwill in respect of subsidiaries: The Company reviews goodwill for impairment once a year, on December 31, ormore frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there isan impairment. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) b. Accounting policies adopted by the B.S.D Group as a consequence of theacquisition of the WFI Group (Cont.): - Impairment of non-financial assets: (Cont.) Goodwill is tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount of thecash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwillhas been allocated. An impairment loss is recognised if the recoverable amountof the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to whichgoodwill has been allocated is less than the carrying amount of thecash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units). Any impairment lossis allocated first to goodwill. Impairment losses recognised for goodwillcannot be reversed in subsequent periods. - Share-based payment transactions: The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with IFRS 2,"Share-Based Payment". The main impact of IFRS 2 on the Company is theexpensing of employees' and directors' share options (equity-settledtransactions). The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured at the fairvalue of the equity instruments granted at grant date. The fair value isdetermined by using the Binomial method option-pricing model taking intoaccounts the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with acorresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performanceand/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which therelevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the "vesting date").The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at eachreporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vestingperiod has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equityinstruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or income recognised inprofit or loss represents the change between the cumulative expense recognisedat the end of the reporting period and the cumulative expense recognised atthe end of the previous reporting period. Cash-settled transactions: The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured at fair value on the grantdate using an acceptable option pricing model. The fair value is recognised asan expense over the vesting period and a corresponding liability isrecognised. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date until settledat fair value with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) c. Adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January2014 The nature and the impact of each new standard or amendment adopted aredescribed below: Offsetting Financial Asses and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32 These amendments clarify the meaning of "currently has a legally enforceableright to set-off" and the criteria for non-simultaneous settlement mechanismsof clearing houses to qualify for offsetting. These amendments have no impacton the Company. d. Disclosure of new IFRS standards in the period prior to their adoption: (1) IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers": IFRS 15 ("the Standard") was issued by the IASB in May 2014. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18, "Revenue", IAS 11, "Construction Contracts, and therelated Interpretations: IFRIC 13, "Customer Loyalty Programs", IFRIC 15,"Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate", IFRIC 18, "Transfers ofAssets from Customers" and SIC-31, "Revenue- Barter Transactions InvolvingAdvertising Services". The Standard introduces the following five-step model that applies to revenuefrom contracts with customers: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer, including reference tocontract consolidation and accounting for contract modifications. Step 2: Identify the distinct performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price, including reference to variableconsideration, financing components that are significant to the contract,non-cash consideration and any consideration payable to the customer. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligationson a relative stand-alone selling price basis using observable information, ifit is available, or by making estimates and assessments. Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performanceobligation over time or at a point in time. IFRS 15 also establishes the accounting treatment of incremental costsinvolving obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling acontract. The Standard will apply retrospectively to annual periods beginning on orafter January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Standard may beapplied to existing contracts beginning with the current period andthereafter. No restatement of the comparative periods will be required as longas comparative disclosures about the current period's revenues under existingIFRS are included. The Company is evaluating the possible impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 butis presently unable to assess its effect, if any, on the financial statements. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) d. Disclosure of new IFRS standards in the period prior to their adoption:(Cont.) (2) IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments": In connection with Note 4 to the annual financialstatements as of December 31, 2013 regarding disclosure of new IFRS Standardsin the period prior to their adoption in the issue of IFRS 9, in July 2014,the IASB issued the final and complete version of IFRS 9, "FinancialInstruments" ("the final Standard") which includes the following elements:classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The main changes between the final Standard and thepreviously published phases of the Standard are: Classification and measurement: The final version of IFRS 9 includes another category forthe classification and measurement of financial assets that represent debtinstruments. Financial assets classified in this category will be measured atfair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") and the differencespreviously carried to other comprehensive income as above will be reclassifiedto profit or loss under specific conditions such as when the asset isderecognised. Finance income, exchange rate differences and impairment losseson financial assets, however, will be recognised in profit or loss. Theclassification in this category is allowed for debt instruments that meet thefollowing tests on a cumulative basis: - Based on the financial asset's contractual terms and onspecific dates, the entity is entitled to receive cash flows that representsolely principal payments and interest payments on the principal balance. - The asset is held in the context of a business modelwhose aim is both to collect the contractual cash flows generated from theasset and to dispose of the asset. Impairment: The Final Standard addresses the issue of impairment offinancial assets by introducing the expected credit loss impairment model toreplace the incurred loss model prescribed in IAS 39. The expected credit lossmodel applies to debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI andto trade receivables. The model introduces a simpler and economic approach formeasuring impairment: - General approach - credit losses due to default which areexpected to occur in the subsequent 12-month period will be recognisedprovided that there has not been a significant increase in credit risk sincethe date of initial recognition of the instrument. On the other hand, if therehas been a significant increase in credit risk since the date of initialrecognition of the instrument, a provision should be recognised for creditlosses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the exposure inrespect of said instrument. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) d. Disclosure of new IFRS standards in the period prior to their adoption:(Cont.) (2) IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments": (Cont.) - A simpler approach (applies in certain cases and forcertain groups of assets only, including trade receivables) - according tothis approach, the credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaininglife of the exposure in respect of said instrument should be recognised,regardless of the occurrence of credit risk changes since the date of initialrecognition of said instrument. The Final Standard will be applied retrospectively, subjectto certain exemptions stipulated therein, in the financial statements forannual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier application ispermitted. The Company is evaluating the possible impact of theadoption of IFRS 9 but is presently unable to assess its effect, if any, onthe financial statements. (3) Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 regarding acceptablemethods of depreciation and amortisation: In May 2014, the IASB issued Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS38 (the "Amendments") regarding the use of a depreciation and amortisationmethod based on revenue. According to the Amendments, a revenue-based methodis not considered to be an appropriate manifestation of consumption sincerevenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generallyreflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodiedin the asset. As for intangible assets, the revenue-based amortisationmethod can only be applied under certain circumstances such as when it can bedemonstrated that revenue and the consumption of economic benefits of theintangible asset are highly correlated. The Amendments will be applied prospectively in the financial statements forannual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Earlier application ispermitted. The Company believes the effect on the financial statements of the adoption ofthe Amendments will be immaterial. NOTE 3:- ACQUSITION OF WILI-FOOD INVESTMENT LTD. Share purchase agreement 1. On 2 March 2014, the Company entered into an agreement (the "WFIAgreement") to acquire from Zwi Williger ("ZW") and Joseph Williger ("JW" and,together with ZW, the "Sellers") a controlling stake in the share capital ofWilli-Food Investments Ltd. ("WFI"), a company listed on the Tel Aviv StockExchange, which in turn owns approximately 58% of G. Willi-Food InternationalLtd ("WFINT" and together with WFI, "Willi-Food"), a company listed on NASDAQ(the "Acquisition"). WFI operates in import, marketing and distribution ofseveral hundred food products mainly in Israel. Under the WFI Agreement, theCompany: (i) acquired the Sellers' entire shareholdings in WFI (part of whichwas acquired through a special tender offer as set out below), amounting inaggregate to 58% of the shares of WFI (or approximately 55% on a fully dilutedbasis); and (ii) published a special tender offer (the "Special Tender Offer")addressed to all shareholders of WFI (including the Sellers) in accordancewith Israeli Companies Law in order to acquire shares carrying 5% of thevoting rights in WFI. NOTE 3:- ACQUSITION OF WILI-FOOD INVESTMENT LTD. (Cont.) Share purchase agreement. (Cont.) The Special Tender Offer was completed on 1 May 2014 and the Acquisitioncompleted on 4 May 2014. Following such completion, the Company acquired inaggregate 61.65% of the issued share capital of WFI (62.27% of its votingrights on a fully diluted basis), for aggregate cash consideration of NIS284.7 million (USD 82.3 million). Upon the Acquisition, the Company nominateddirectors which comprise the majority of the board of directors of both WFIand WFINT. 2. Under the WFI Agreement, the Company granted the Sellers a put option tosell all or some of their shares in WFINT (whether held (3.89%) on the date ofthe WFI Agreement or those which they may hold following the exercise ofemployee options in WFINT) which amount to a further approximately 7% of theshares of WFINT on a fully diluted basis (the "WFINT Put Option Shares" andthe "WFINT Put Option" respectively). The WFINT Put Option is exercisable bythe Sellers for a period of four years and one month commencing eleven monthsfrom completion of the Acquisition, at a price of USD 12 per share. The putoption exercise price is subject to adjustment for dividends bonus, shares andrights issues by WFINT. The Company was granted a power of attorney whichenables it to procure the Sellers to sell their WFINT shares to a third partyat a price per share not below USD 12, subject to compliance with applicablelaws, during the WFINT Put Option exercise period. The power of attorney maybe cancelled by the Sellers at any time during that period, although suchcancellation would lead to the immediate cancellation of the WFINT Put Optionin respect of such WFINT Put Option Shares. The Sellers granted the Company anirrevocable proxy with respect to their holdings in WFINT, so as to allow theCompany to vote such shares at shareholders' meetings of WFINT during theperiod commencing on completion of the Acquisition and expiring on theexercise or expiry of the WFINT Put Option. As part of the consideration for the acquisition, the Company recorded aliability for the WFINT Put Option, see 4(a) below. The WFI Agreement modified the terms of the unvested employee options held bythe Sellers, by ensuring the sale price of the shares which will derive fromthe exercise of the unvested employee options. On the date of the Acquisition,the fair value of the modification for the entire vesting period (three years)of the options amounted to USD 1.4 million, based on a calculation prepared byan independent valuation specialist. In the six months and three months ended 30 June 2014, the Company recorded inprofit or loss share-based payment expense of USD 215 thousand (in addition tothe expense recorded in WFI in the amount of USD 83 thousand. As of 30 June2014, the liability recorded in the statement of financial position for theput option in respect of the vested portion of these employee options amountedto USD 298 thousand. 3. Under the WFI Agreement, the Sellers agreed to continue to be engaged byWFINT as chairman of the board of WFINT (in respect of Zvi Williger) andpresident of WFINT (in respect of Joseph Williger), or as joint chiefexecutive officers of WFI, for an additional period of three years commencingupon completion of the Acquisition (May 2014). On 21st August 2014, theextension of the agreements between the parties for another period of three(3) years (until 21st August 2017) was approved at WFINT's annual generalmeeting. Subject to further agreement between the parties and to applicablelaw, the Sellers may continue their respective engagement following suchperiod. In addition, each of the Sellers is prohibited from competing againstWilli-Food in any material way, subject to certain agreed exceptions, for anadditional period commencing on the termination of his respective engagementwith WFINT and terminating on the later of two years from such termination, orfour years from completion of the Acquisition, but not longer than five (5)years from the completion date. It should be noted that the Company haswithdrawn its application regarding the approval of the Israeli Anti-trustAuthorities to extend the non-competition period to six years from thecompletion date, under all scenarios. In consideration of such non-competeundertakings, each of the Sellers is entitled to an additional annual paymentof NIS 1.5 million (approximately USD 0.4 million) following termination ofhis respective engagement, to be paid by the Company and subject to applicablelaw.
