(2) Basis for preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
This condensed consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The condensed consolidated interim financial report is prepared in Euros. All figures are in Euro (EUR) unless stated otherwise.

Qype GmbH, Hamburg
Notes to the consolidated interim financial report Q3 2012
In the income statement expenses are presented based on their nature.
(c) Going-concern assumption
Until October 2012 the former shareholders provided loans amounting to EUR 6.2 million to finance the company’s operations during 2012 (see note 15). With the acquisition by Yelp Inc. at the end of October 2012 the new shareholder is now providing funding for the required financing of operations. Management has received a commitment from Yelp Inc. that Yelp Inc, will provide liquidity to the Company for at least 18 months from December 14th, 2012 to compensate for any negative cash flows generated by the Company. On this basis that this support will be received, we assume that Qype will be able to continue as a going concern.
(d) Functional and presentation currency
These condensed consolidated interim financial report is presented in Euro. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the Euro are translated into Euro using the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period, while the income statement of such subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rate during the period. Foreign currency differences resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are reported as a separate component of equity.
(e) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial report in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial report, significant judgements made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2011.
(3) Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this condensed consolidated interim financial report are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2011. There are no changes in accounting policy expected to be reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 December 2012.
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Scope of consolidation
The scope of consolidation is unchanged in comparison to the balance sheet date 31 December 2011.

(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Euro using the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.

Acquisition
On 23 October 2012, Yelp Inc. (the “Yelp”) and Yelp Ireland Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Yelp Ireland”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Qype GmbH (“Qype”) and its shareholders. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Yelp Ireland acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Qype for EUR 18.574.595 (approximately USD 24,2 million as of the time of closing) and 968.919 shares of the Yelp’s Class A Common Stock, and Qype became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Yelp. The transaction closed upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations, including a cash escrow of a portion of the purchase price for the benefit of Yelp and Yelp Ireland of EUR 7.829.457 (approximately USD 10,1 million as of the time of closing) for a two-year period after the closing of the acquisition to satisfy any indemnification obligations that may arise. A portion of the cash escrow may be released after the first anniversary of the closing of the acquisition. Of such escrow amount, EUR 4.697.674 was deposited in escrow at the time of closing and the remaining EUR 3.131.783 will be deposited in escrow if Qype delivers to Yelp certain consolidated financial statements of Qype and its subsidiaries, audited under International Financial Reporting Standards, within 45 days following the closing of the transaction or, if not so delivered, Yelp is nonetheless successful in obtaining and filing such financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in a timely manner (in which case the remaining escrow amount would be deposited at the time of such filing). The Purchase Agreement provides that the purchase price will be subject to post-closing adjustment based on net working capital.
