Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of
Social Point, S.L.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Social Point, S.L., (the “Company”) which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, and the related income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts as detailed in note 2; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 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 entity’s 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 financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
As more fully disclosed in Note 2.5 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared solely for the purpose of meeting the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“Rule 3.05”). Rule 3.05 only requires the accompanying financial statements to be prepared as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015; accordingly no comparative financial information is presented. The Spanish General Chart of Accounts requires that financial statements be presented with comparative financial information.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the omission of comparative financial information described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Social Point, S.L. as of December 31, 2015 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the financial reporting framework applicable to the Company in Spain.
Emphasis of Matter
The Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts, which differs in certain respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the qualitative nature of such differences is presented in note 18 to the financial statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2015
1. Activity of the Company
Social Point, S.L. (hereinafter the Company) was incorporated with limited liability under Spanish law on October 15, 2008. The Company currently has its registered office at Calle Llacuna, number 166 (Barcelona).
According to its by-laws, the Company’s statutory activity consists of the following:
· Development and sale of software.
· Development of web applications.
· Advertising, entertainment and leisure services.
· Marketing and technology consultancy.
The Company’s activity basically consists of the sale of virtual goods to users who play games developed by the Company, principally using Facebook (Facebook Ireland Limited), the Itunes Connect platform (through Apple Canada Inc., Apple Pty Limited, Apple Inc. and iTunes KK and iTunes S.a.r.l) the Google Play platform (through Google Inc. and Google Commerce Limited) and the Amazon platform (Amazon Digital Services, lnc. and Amazon EU, S.a.r.l). These platforms act as intermediaries, managing the collection of payments between the end users and the Company.
Given the nature of the Company’s activities, it does not have obligations, expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies of an environmental nature that could significantly affect its equity, financial situation or results. Consequently, the notes to these financial statements do not disclose any specific information relating to environmental issues.
2. Basis of Presentation
2.1. Legislative framework governing financial information applicable to the Company
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the legislation governing financial information applicable to the Company, which is established in:
a) The Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1517/2007 and its sector adaptations, as well as amendments introduced by RO 1159/2010 of September 17, 2010.
b) The obligatory standards approved by the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute in drafting the Spanish General Chart of Accounts and its complementary standards.
c) All other applicable Spanish accounting legislation.
2.2. True and fair view
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting records of the Company in accordance with legislation governing the financial reporting framework applicable and, in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria set forth therein to give a true and fair view of the equity and financial position and results of operations of the Company for the year then ended. These financial statements, have been authorised for issue by the Company’s directors on April 13, 2017.
2.3. Non-obligatory accounting principles applied
Only obligatory accounting principles have been applied. Additionally, the directors have prepared these financial statements taking into consideration all obligatory accounting standards and principles which have a significant effect thereon. The Company has not failed to apply any obligatory accounting principles.
2.4. Critical issues regarding the valuation and estimation of uncertainty
Estimates made by the Company’s directors have been used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements to measure certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments recognised in the accounts. These estimates were as follows:
(Continued)
SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Evaluation of possible impairment losses on certain assets (see note 4.3). Calculation of provisions (see note 4.10).
The useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see notes 4.1 and 4.2). Evaluation of litigation, commitments and contingent assets and liabilities.
Although estimates are calculated based on the best information available at the 2015 reporting date, future events may require changes to these estimates (up or down) in subsequent years. Any such changes would be recognised prospectively.
2.5. Comparative information
The purpose of these financial statements is to meet the reporting requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the new shareholder (see note 17) and, accordingly, they do not include comparative figures.
2.6. Aggregation of items
Certain items in the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows are grouped to facilitate understanding, although if significant, a breakdown is included in the corresponding notes.
3. Distribution of Profit
The distribution of profit of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015, approved by the shareholders at their annual general meeting held on June 28, 2016, is as follows:
| | 2015 | |
Basis of allocation | | | |
Profit for the year | | 13,518,909 | |
| | | |
Distribution | | | |
Voluntary reserves | | 13,518,909 | |
At December 31, 2015 non-distributable reserves are as follows:
| | 12/31/2015 | |
Non-distributable reserves | | | |
Legal reserve | | 9,945 | |
Non distributable reserve | | 983,981 | |
Pursuant to article 25.1.b) of Income Tax Law 27/2014, the Board of Directors agreed in 2015 to appropriate a non-distributable capitalisation reserve of Euros 983,980.80 with a charge to voluntary reserves (see note 9.4). A reclassification of reserves was carried out, creating an appropriately named, separate item on the balance sheet for this new non-distributable reserve. This transaction was approved by the Shareholders at their general meeting.

Notes to the Financial Statements
4. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying 2015 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles contained in the Spanish General Chart of Accounts, the most significant of which are as follows:
4.1. Intangible assets
As a general rule, intangible assets are initially measured at cost of acquisition or production. Intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. These assets are amortised over their useful lives.
a) Development expenses
Development expenses are capitalised under the following conditions:
· Costs are clearly allocated and assigned for each project.
· When there is evidence of the project’s technical success and economic-commercial feasibility.
Assets of this nature are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives (five years):
Where there are doubts as to the project’s technical success or economic feasibility, the amounts recognised under assets are taken directly to the income statement. In 2015, the Company has not capitalised any development expenses as it cannot reasonably guarantee the success of the projects being carried out. Therefore, the development expenses incurred are recognised as an expense in the year they are incurred.
b) Patents
This line item includes amounts paid for the acquisition of industrial property or the right to use different forms of industrial property, or expenses incurred when registering the industrial property developed by the Company.
c) Computer software
Computer software reflects the cost incurred for the acquisition and development of computer software, including website development costs. Computer software maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Amortisation is on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.
4.2. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is initially measured at cost of acquisition and is subsequently recognised less accumulated depreciation and any impairment, in accordance with the criteria mentioned in note 4.3.
Repair and maintenance costs of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement when incurred. Conversely, amounts invested to improve the capacity or efficiency or to extend the useful lives of assets are recognised as an increase in the cost of those assets.
For assets that will not be available for use for more than one year, capitalised costs include borrowing costs accrued until the assets are ready for use that relate to loans or another type of external, specific or general financing directly attributable to the acquisition or production of the asset.
(Continued)
3
SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using the annual depreciation rates calculated considering the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
| | Depreciation rate | |
Technical installations | | 10 | % |
Furniture | | 10 | % |
Information technology equipment | | 25 | % |
Other property, plant and equipment | | 10 | % |
Disposals are recognised by writing off the cost of the assets and the corresponding accumulated depreciation.
4.3. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
At each year end or when there are indications of impairment, the Company tests assets for impairment losses that would reduce their recoverable amount to less than their carrying amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed (not permitted in the case of goodwill), the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit is increased by the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. The increased carrying amount of an asset cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment losses been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment are recognised as income.
At the 2015 reporting date the Company’s directors have not detected any indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets.
4.4. Leases
Leases in which the terms of the contract imply that the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset are substantially transferred to the lessee are classified as finance leases; otherwise they are classified as operating leases.
The Company has analysed all its leases and concluded that they are all operating leases.
Expenses deriving from operating lease agreements are taken to the income statement in the year in which they are accrued.
Any payment received or made on entering into an operating lease is considered as revenue received in advance or a prepayment and taken to the income statement over the lease term in accordance with the pattern of economic benefits transferred or received.
4.5. Financial instruments
4.5.1. Financial assets. Classification:
The Company’s financial assets can be categorised as follows:
1) Loans and receivables: these balances comprise financial assets originating from the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to the Company’s trading operations or those which, while non-commercial in origin, do not constitute equity instruments or derivatives, are receivable in a fixed or determinable amount and are not quoted in an active market. This category also includes security deposits paid.
2) Held-to-maturity investments: debt securities with fixed maturity and determinable payments traded on an active market and that Company management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
3) Equity investments in Group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities: Group companies are those over which the Company exerts control whereas associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence. In addition, jointly controlled entities include entities over which the Company exercises control together with one or more partners, by virtue of an agreement.
(Continued)
4
SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Financial Statements
4) Available-for-sale financial assets: comprise debt securities and equity instruments of other companies not classified in any of the above categories.
Initial measurement
Financial assets are recognised initially at the fair value of the consideration given plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
Loans, receivables and held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost.
Investments in Group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities are measured at cost net of any accumulated impairment. These allowances are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows deriving from the investment. In the absence of better evidence of the recoverable amount, the equity of the investee is taken into consideration, corrected for net unrealised gains existing at the measurement date (including any goodwill).
Finally, available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are recognised in equity until these assets are sold or subject to stable or other than temporary impairment, at which time the cumulative balance of this account previously recognised in equity is taken to the income statement. In this regard, other than temporary impairment is presumed to exist if the market value of the asset has fallen by more than 40% or if there has been a prolonged fall in market value over a period of 18 months without the value having recovered.
The Company tests financial assets not carried at fair value for impairment at least at each year end. Objective evidence of impairment is considered to exist when the carrying amount of the financial asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment is recognised in the income statement when it arises.
In particular, the Company calculates impairment of trade and other receivables by performing an individual analysis of the credit risk.
Derecognition of assets
The Company derecognises financial assets when they expire or when the rights to the cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred. This is the case in binding agreements for sales of assets or transfers of trade receivables in factoring transactions in which the Company retains no credit or interest rate risk.
The Company does not derecognise financial assets when it retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the transferred financial asset, but instead recognises a financial liability for the same amount as the consideration received.
4.5.2 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities comprise debts and payables deriving from the purchase of goods and services relating to the Company’s commercial operations, or also those which, although non-commercial in origin, cannot be considered as derivative financial instruments.
Debts and payables are initially measured at the fair value of the consideration received, adjusted for any directly attributable transaction costs. These liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when the obligations that generated them are extinguished.
4.6. Cash and cash equivalents
This item includes cash on hand, current bank accounts and deposits which comply with all the following requirements:
· They are convertible into cash.
· They have a maturity of three months or less on the date of acquisition.
(Continued)
5
SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Financial Statements
· They are not subject to a significant risk of changes in value.
· They form part of the Company’s usual cash management policy.
4.7. Classification as current and non-current
Current assets are assets associated with the normal operating cycle, which in general is considered to be one year; other assets which are expected to mature, be disposed of or be realised within twelve months after the end of the reporting period; financial assets held for trading, except for financial derivatives that will be settled in a period exceeding one year; and cash and cash equivalents. Assets that do not meet these requirements are classified as non-current assets.
Similarly, current liabilities are liabilities associated with the normal operating cycle, financial liabilities held for trading, except for financial derivatives that will be settled in a period exceeding one year; and, in general, all obligations that will mature or be extinguished in the short term. All other liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities.
4.8. Income tax
The income tax expense and tax income for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax reflects income tax settlements payable for the year. Deductions and other tax relief applicable to payable taxes, excluding withholdings and payments on account, and tax loss carryforwards applied in the current reporting period are accounted for as a reduction in current tax.
Deferred tax income or expenses derive from the recognition and cancellation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include temporary differences, which are defined as the amounts which are expected to be paid or recovered in the future for differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax value, as well as unused tax loss carryforwards and deductions. These amounts are recognised by applying the rate of tax at which they are expected to be recovered or settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, unless the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the Company will obtain future tax profits against which they can be offset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities originating from operations with debits or credits to equity items are also recognised with a balancing entry in equity.
Recognised deferred tax assets are re-calculated at each accounting close and the necessary adjustments made where doubts exist as to their future recovery.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are also evaluated at year end and subsequently recognised provided that their offset against future tax profits is probable.
4.9. Income and expenses
Income and expenses are recognised on an accruals basis, considering the actual flow of the goods and services they represent, irrespective of collections and payments. Income is calculated at the fair value of the consideration received, net of discounts and taxes.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion at the reporting date, provided that the outcome of the transaction can be reliably estimated.
Interest earned on financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividends are recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. Interest and dividends generated by financial assets after their acquisition are taken to income.

Notes to the Financial Statements
4.10. Provisions and contingencies
When preparing the financial statements the Company’s directors made a distinction between:
1. Provisions: balances payable for current obligations deriving from past events, settlement of which will probably require an outflow of undetermined resources as regards the amount and/or date of settlement.
2. Contingent liabilities: possible obligations arising from past events, the future materialisation of which is conditional on the occurrence or not of one or more events beyond the Company’s control.
The financial statements include all the provisions for amounts for which it is considered that it is more likely than not that the obligation will have to be settled. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements, but rather are disclosed in the notes, unless the possibility of their materialising is considered to be remote.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount necessary to settle or transfer the obligation, taking into account available information on the event and its consequences, and any adjustments arising from the restatement of these provisions are recognised as a finance cost as they are accrued.
Reimbursements from third parties of the expenditure required to settle an obligation are recognised as a separate asset provided that it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received, except in the case that a legal relationship exists through which part of the risk has been externalised, and by virtue of which the Company will not be obliged to respond; in this situation, the compensation will be taken into account to estimate the amount for which, where applicable, the corresponding provision should be recognised.
4.11. Termination benefits
By law, in certain circumstances the Company is liable to pay termination benefits to employees whose services are discontinued. Consequently, termination benefits that can be reasonably quantified are recognised as an expense in the year in which a valid expectation is raised among the affected parties. There is no provision for this item in the accompanying financial statements as situations of this nature are currently not expected to arise.
4.12. Equity items of an environmental nature
Environmental assets are those items that the Company uses in its activities on a permanent basis to minimise the environmental impact of its activity and protect and improve the environment, including the reduction and elimination of future pollution.
Due to its nature, the Company’s activity does not have a significant impact on the environment.
4.13. Long-term employee benefits
In 2012 the Company implemented a plan linked to the increase in value of Social Point, S.L., whereby certain employees participating in this plan will receive a cash amount linked to the occurrence of certain triggering events under certain conditions. The amount of the incentive will be set by the increase in the market value of the notional interest in the Company granted to the beneficiary from the date of participation to the plan until the triggering event occurs.
Transactions in which goods and services received, including services rendered by employees, are settled by the Company through own equity instruments, such as share options or rights over the revaluation of shares, will be considered as share-based payment transactions.
Recognition
The Company recognises the goods or services received as an expense based on their nature, at the date they are obtained and the corresponding liability once the transaction has been settled in cash at an amount based on the value of the equity instruments. The liability is recognised to the extent that the Company incurs a present obligation to settle in cash. Plan participants are required to complete a certain period of services, therefore the expense is recognised as these services are rendered over the period from the date the options are given until the date the triggering event is estimated to occur.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Measurement
The goods or services received and the liability to be recognised are measured at fair value of the liability at the date the requirements for their recognition are met.
The liability is subsequently measured until settlement at its fair value at each year end, and any changes in value taking place during the year are taken to the income statement.
In 2015, the recognition of the liability at fair value resulted in the reversal of a provision of Euros 1,128 thousand recognised for this purpose in the income statement under personnel expenses as explained in note 12.
4.14. Foreign currency transactions
The functional currency used by the Company is the Euro. Consequently, operations in currencies other than the Euro are considered to be denominated in foreign currency. The criterion followed throughout the year was to apply to the current month, the exchange rate of the last day of the previous month published on the OANDA website (OANDA is a financial services company). Exchange gains and losses are taken directly to the income statement in the year they are incurred.

8.3. Qualitative information on the nature and level of risk of financial instruments
8.3.1 Qualitative information
The financial risk management of the Company is centralised under Finance Management, which has mechanisms in place to control exposure to interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations, as well as to credit and liquidity risk. The main financial risks affecting the Company are as follows.
a) Credit risk:
The Company generally deposits cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions that have high credit ratings.
The Company has no credit insurance to secure receivables from customers due to the apparent solvency of those carrying out a significant volume of transactions.
The Company carries out a high volume of transactions involving small amounts for services rendered electronically to multiple customers. Nevertheless the collection of amounts due for these services is managed by four intermediaries.
b) Liquidity risk:
To ensure sufficient liquidity to meet all the payment commitments deriving from its activity, the Company has the cash shown on its balance sheet.
c) Market risk:
The Company operates internationally and is therefore exposed to currency risk when operating with foreign currencies, especially with regard to the US Dollar.

At the general meeting on June 20, 2011 the Shareholders agreed to a share split, by number and par value.

It was also agreed to reduce the share capital by Euros 57,000 with a credit to voluntary reserves, thus the share capital became Euros 3,000. This was carried out by reducing the par value of the 60,000 shares representing share capital by Euros 0.95 per share.

Notes to the Financial Statements
9.1. Legal reserve
Pursuant to the Spanish Companies Act, the Company must appropriate at least 10% of profit for the year to the legal reserve until it reaches at least 20% of share capital. The legal reserve may be used to increase share capital provided that the balance left on the reserve is at least equal to 10% of the nominal value of the total share capital after the increase. Other than for the aforementioned purpose, while this reserve does not exceed 20% of share capital, it can be used to offset losses if no other reserves are available.
At December 31, 2015, the legal reserve is fully appropriated.
9.2. Share premium
The share premium originated as a result of the share capital increases carried out during 2012 and 2011.
9.3. Voluntary reserve
The Company’s freely available reserves at the 2015 reporting date amount to Euros 10,770,013.
9.4. Capitalisation reserve
Article 25 of Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014 of November 27, 2014 stipulates that companies or tax groups that opt to reduce their taxable income by an amount equivalent to 10.00% of the increase in equity calculated in accordance with the aforementioned article 25 must appropriate the amount of the capitalisation reserve to a non-distributable reserve. However, the amount of the reduction in taxable income may not exceed 10.00% of taxable income prior to the reduction. The reserve has the following characteristics:
· It must be equivalent to the higher of the reduction in taxable income or 10.00% of the increase in equity, calculated in accordance with the provisions of article 25 of Law 27/2014.
· This reserve is non-distributable during a period of five years from the end of the tax period in which the reduction was generated.
· The increase in the equity of the Company or the tax group must be maintained throughout every year until it becomes distributable in accordance with the preceding point, except if the Company or tax group incur accounting losses.
Pursuant to article 25.1.b) of Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014, the Board of Directors agreed in 2015 to appropriate a non-distributable capitalisation reserve of Euros 983,980.80 with a charge to voluntary reserves. A reclassification of reserves was carried out, creating an appropriately named, separate item on the balance sheet for this new reserve.
9.5. Limitations on the distribution of dividends
Once the appropriations required by the law or by-laws have been made, dividends may only be distributed with a charge to profit for the year or freely distributable reserves provided that equity is not reduced to below share capital. If, as a result of prior years’ losses, the Company’s equity falls below its share capital, profits shall be used to offset those losses.

In addition, Law 27/2014 of November 27, 2014, which entered into force in 2014, introduced corporate income tax reforms. These reforms included, inter alia, modifying the general corporate income tax rate to 28% for 2015 and 25% for 2016.
Law 16/2012, which introduced several fiscal measures to consolidate public finances and boost economic activity, was passed on December 27, 2012. One of the aforementioned measures consisted of limiting deductions to 70% of accounting amortisation and depreciation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property for the tax periods beginning in 2013 and 2014, thereby generating a temporary difference between tax and accounting criteria of Euros 88 thousand in 2014 (Euros 33 thousand in 2013). This adjustment will be deducted on a straight-line basis over 10 years or optionally over the useful life of the asset, as of the first tax period beginning in 2015.
11.4. Details of the income tax expense
Details of income tax expense and income are as follows (in Euros):
| | 2015 | |
Current tax: | | | |
On continuing operations | | (4,092,548 | ) |

11.5. Recognised deferred tax assets
Details at the 2015 reporting date are as follows:
| | Euros | |
Deferred tax assets from non-deductible provision | | 674,435 | |
Total deferred tax assets | | 674,435 | |
Based on the best estimate of the Company’s future profits, including certain tax planning initiatives, the Directors of the Company have considered it probable that the above deferred tax assets will be recovered, hence they have recognised these in the balance sheet in connection with the provisions described in note 12.
11.6. Years open to inspection and tax inspections
In accordance with current legislation, taxes cannot be considered definitive until they have been inspected and agreed by the taxation authorities or before the inspection period of four years has elapsed. At the 2015 reporting date the Company has all of its taxes for the last four years open to inspection. The Directors of the Company consider that the aforementioned taxes have been adequately settled, and consequently, even if discrepancies were to arise in the interpretation of prevailing standards with respect to the tax treatment of these operations, the accompanying financial statements would not be significantly affected by any resulting liabilities.
12. Provisions
Details of provisions at December 31, 2015 and the main movements are as follows:
| | Euros | |
Non-current provisions | | 01/01/2015 | | Change in estimate | | 12/31/2015 | |
Provision for long-term employee benefits (Note 4.12) | | 3,693,882 | | (1,127,740 | ) | 2,566,142 | |
Total non-current | | 3,693,882 | | (1,127,740 | ) | 2,566,142 | |
| | Euros | |
Current provisions | | 01/01/2015 | | Charges | | Change in estimate | | 12/31/2015 | |
Provision for returns | | 116,621 | | 1,820,611 | | (1,768,474 | ) | 168,758 | |
Total current | | 116,621 | | 1,820,611 | | (1,768,474 | ) | 168,758 | |
Provisions for long-term employee benefits
As described in note 4.13 the Company implemented a plan linked to the increase in value of Social Point, S.L., whereby certain employees adhering to this plan will receive a cash amount linked to the occurrence of certain triggering events under certain conditions.
The provision recognised at the 2015 reporting date is equivalent to the present value of the difference between the estimated market value of the Company on occurrence of the triggering event and the market value of the notional percentage assigned to each employee at the date when the employee opts into the plan.

Notes to the Financial Statements
As described in note 4.13 on measurement standards, the Company recognises services received as an expense by nature at the date they are rendered, and the associated liability (to be paid in cash on settlement of the plan). At the 2015 reporting date, liabilities are measured at their fair value at the date the requirements for their recognition are met. The assumptions determined by the qualified independent expert is used by management in determining the present value of the commitments as follows:
| | 2015 | |
Term to maturity | | 2.5 | |
Risk-free rate | | 1.19 | % |
Volatility | | 71.90 | % |
The expected volatility is estimated based on the average two-year historical volatility for companies operating in the same sector.
In 2015, the recognition of the fair value of liabilities required reversing Euros 1,128 thousand of the provision for this incentive in the income statement.
Sensitivity analysis
The share appraisal carried out by an independent expert is used by management in determining the 2015 market value of the Company on occurrence of the triggering event. Changes in the market value of the Company on occurrence of the triggering event will depend on the future performance of the business.
Had the estimated market value of the Company increased by more than 10% at the 2015 reporting date, the provision for long-term employee benefits would have increased by Euros 306 thousand.
Current provision for returns
The provision for returns reflects the Directors’ best possible estimate.
13. Foreign Currency
Details of the most significant balances and transactions in foreign currency, measured at the closing exchange rate and the average exchange rate, respectively, are as follows:
| | Euros | |
Receivables | | 1,476,918 | |

18. Summary of significant differences between Spanish GAAP and US GAAP
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with the legislation governing financial information applicable to the Company in Spain (“Spanish GAAP”) which differs in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). A summary of significant differences between the two sets of accounting principles which are applicable to the Company is set out below:
a) Revenue recognition of sales of virtual goods
Under Spanish GAAP, revenue from the sale of virtual goods is recognized when a user acquires and receives such goods.
Under US GAAP, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the seller’s price to the customer is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. Because of the Company’s continued obligation to the consumer to facilitate the use of the acquired virtual good, revenue is recognized rateably over the estimated offering period.

SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Financial Statements
b) Share based payments (long-term employee benefits)
Under Spanish GAAP, phantom share based plans to be liquidated in cash are recognized as liabilities and are initially measured at the fair value and subsequently remeasured each period until their settlement. The change in fair value is recognized as financial expense, which is not a component of operating expense.
Under US GAAP phantom share plans are also treated as liabilities and remeasured each period. However, the remeasurement of the liability is classified as a personnel expense, which is a component of operating expense.
c) Deferred taxes
Under Spanish GAAP, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet at their realizable value as non-current assets or liabilities, regardless of the expected date of realization or liquidation. To be able to recognize an asset, it must be likely that the Company will have future tax benefits which will allow the Company to compensate the negative tax bases within a period not exceeding the period provided by tax legislation.
Under US GAAP deferred tax assets are recognized in full and a valuation allowance is separately recognized to reduce the value to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
1. Activity of the Company
Social Point. S.L. (hereinafter the Company) was incorporated with limited liability under Spanish law on 15 October 2008. The Company currently has its registered office at Calle Llacuna, number 166 (Barcelona).
According to its by-laws, the Company’s statutory activity consists of the following:
· Development and sale of software.
· Development of web applications.
· Advertising, entertainment and leisure services.

The Company’s activity basically consists of operating electronically through the sale of virtual goods to users who play games developed by the Company principally using Facebook (Facebook Ireland Limited), the Itunes Connect platform (through Apple Canada Inc., Apple Pty Limited, Apple Inc. and iTunes KK and iTunes S.a.r.l) and the Google Play platform (through Google Inc. and Google Commerce Limited) and the Amazon platform (Amazon Digital Services, lnc. and Amazon EU, S.a.r.l). These platforms manage the platform via which the Company links its users and the method of payment that they should use to pay for virtual goods purchased from the Company.
Given the nature of the Company’s activities, it does not have obligations, expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies of an environmental nature that could significantly affect its equity, financial situation or results. Consequently, the notes to these annual accounts do not disclose any specific information relating to environmental issues.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
2.3. Non-obligatory accounting principles applied
Only obligatory accounting principles have been applied. Additionally, the directors have prepared these annual accounts taking into consideration all obligatory accounting standards and principles which have a significant effect thereon. The Company has not failed to apply any obligatory accounting principles.
2.4. Critical issues regarding the valuation and estimation of uncertainty
Estimates made by the Company’s directors have been used in the preparation of the accompanying interim financial statements to measure certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments recognised in the accounts. These estimates were essentially as follows:
Evaluation of possible impairment losses on certain assets (see note 4.3) Calculation of provisions (see note 4.10).
The useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see notes 4.1 and 4.2). Evaluation of litigation, commitments and contingent assets and liabilities.
Although estimates are calculated based on the best information available at 30 June 2016, future events may require changes to these estimates (up or down) in subsequent years. Any such changes would be recognised prospectively.
2.5. Comparative information
The information contained in these notes to the 30 June 2016 interim financial statements includes comparative figures for 30 June 2015.
As stated in the first article of the Royal Decree, the interim financial statements at 30 June 2016 includes additional information on the average numbers of people employed in the course of the six-month period with a disability greater than or equal to thirty-three percent, indicating the categories to which belong, see note 16.
2.6. Aggregation of items
Certain items in the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows are grouped to facilitate understanding, although if significant, a breakdown is included in the corresponding notes to the annual accounts.
2.7. Changes in accounting criteria
No significant changes were made to the accounting criteria in 2016 compared to those applied in 2015 and with the annual accounts at 31 December 2015.
2.8. Correction of errors
No significant errors were detected in the preparation of the accompanying interim financial statements for 30 June 2016, which required modifying the amounts included in the interim financial statements for 30 June 2015.
3. Distribution of Profit
The distribution of profits of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015, approved by the shareholders at their annual general meeting held on 28 June 2016, is as follows:
| | 31/12/2015 | |
Basis of allocation | | | |
Profit for the year | | 13,518,909 | |
Distribution | | | |
Voluntary reserves | | 13,518,909 | |

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
At 31 June, non-distributable reserves are as follows:
| | 30/06/2015 | | 30/06/2015 | |
Non-distributable reserves | | | | | |
Legal reserve | | 9,945 | | 9,945 | |
Capitalisation reserve | | 983,981 | | 983,981 | |
Pursuant to article 25.1.b) of Income Tax Law 27/2014, the board of directors agreed in 2015 to appropriate a non-distributable capitalisation reserve of Euros 983,980.80 with a charge to voluntary reserves. A reclassification of reserves was carried out, creating an appropriately named, separate item on the balance sheet for this new reserve. This transaction was approved by the shareholders at their general meeting.
4. Significant Accounting Policies
Interim financial statements for 30 June 2016 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles contained in the Spanish General Chart of Accounts, the most significant of which are as follows:
4.1. Intangible assets
As a general rule, intangible assets are initially measured at cost of acquisition or production. Intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. These assets are amortised over their useful lives.
a) Development expenses
Development expenses are capitalised under the following conditions:
· Costs are clearly allocated and assigned for each project.
· When there is evidence of the project’s technical success and economic-commercial feasibility
Assets of this nature are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives (five years):
Where there are doubts as to the project’s technical success or economic feasibility, the amounts recognised under assets are taken directly to profit and loss. During the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 and 2015, the Company has not capitalised any development expenses as it cannot reasonably guarantee the success of the projects being carried out. Therefore, the development expenses incurred are recognised as an expense in the year they are incurred.
b) Patents
This line item includes amounts paid for the acquisition of industrial property or the right to use different forms of industrial property, or expenses incurred when registering the industrial property developed by the Company.
c) Computer software
Computer software reflects the cost incurred for the acquisition and development of computer software, including website development costs. Computer software maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Amortisation is on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.
4.2. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is initially measured at cost of acquisition and is subsequently recognised less accumulated depreciation and any impairment, in accordance with the criteria mentioned in note 4.3.
(Continued)
3
SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
Repair and maintenance costs of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement when incurred. Conversely, amounts invested to improve the capacity or efficiency or to extend the useful lives of assets are recognised as an increase in the cost of those assets.
For assets that will not be available for use for more than one year, capitalised costs include borrowing costs accrued until the assets are ready for use that relate to loans or another type of external, specific or general financing directly attributable to the acquisition or production of the asset.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using the annual depreciation rates calculated considering the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
| | Depreciation rate | |
Technical installations | | 10 | % |
Furniture | | 10 | % |
Information technology equipment | | 25 | % |
Other property, plant and equipment | | 10 | % |
| | | | |
Disposals are recognised by writing off the cost of the assets and the corresponding accumulated depreciation.
4.3. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
At each year end or when there are indications of impairment, the Company tests assets for impairment losses that would reduce their recoverable amount to less than their carrying amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed (not permitted in the case of goodwill), the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit is increased by the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. The increased carrying amount of an asset cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment losses been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment are recognised as income.
At 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 reporting dates the Company’s directors have not detected any indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets.
4.4. Leases
Leases in which the terms of the contract imply that the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset are substantially transferred to the lessee are classified as finance leases; otherwise they are classified as operating leases.
The Company has analysed all its leases and concluded that they are all operating leases.
Expenses deriving from operating lease agreements are taken to the income statement in the year in which they are accrued.
Any payment received or made on entering into an operating lease is considered as revenue received in advance or a prepayment and taken to the income statement over the lease term in accordance with the pattern of economic benefits transferred or received.
4.5. Financial instruments
4.5.1. Financial assets. Classification:
The Company’s financial assets can be categorised as follows:
1) Loans and receivables: these balances comprise financial assets originating from the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to the Company’s trading operations or those which, while non-commercial in origin, do not constitute equity instruments or derivatives, are receivable in a fixed or determinable amount and are not quoted in an active market. This category also includes security deposits paid.
(Continued)

SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
2) Held-to-maturity investments: debt securities with fixed maturity and determinable payments traded on an active market and that Company management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
3) Equity investments in Group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities: Group companies are those over which the Company exerts control whereas associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence. In addition, jointly controlled entities include entities over which the Company exercises control together with one or more partners, by virtue of an agreement.
4) Available-for-sale financial assets: comprise debt securities and equity instruments of other companies not classified in any of the above categories.
Initial measurement
Financial assets are recognised initially at the fair value of the consideration given plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
Loans, receivables and held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost.
Investments in Group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities are measured at cost net of any accumulated impairment. These allowances are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows deriving from the investment. In the absence of better evidence of the recoverable amount, the equity of the investee is taken into consideration, corrected for net unrealised gains existing at the measurement date (including any goodwill).
Finally, available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are recognised in equity until these assets are sold or subject to stable or permanent impairment, at which time the cumulative balance of this account previously recognised in equity is taken to the income statement. In this regard, (permanent) impairment is presumed to exist if the market value of the asset has fallen by more than 40% or if there has been a prolonged fall in market value over a period of 18 months without the value having recovered.
The Company tests financial assets not carried at fair value for impairment at least at each year end. Objective evidence of impairment is considered to exist when the carrying amount of the financial asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment is recognised in the income statement when it arises.
In particular, the Company calculates impairment of trade and other receivables by performing an individual analysis of the credit risk.
Derecognition of assets
The Company derecognises financial assets when they expire or when the rights to the cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred. This is the case in binding agreements for sales of assets or transfers of trade receivables in factoring transactions in which the Company retains no credit or interest rate risk.
The Company does not derecognise financial assets when it retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the transferred financial asset, but instead recognises a financial liability for the same amount as the consideration received.
4.5.2 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities comprise debts and payables deriving from the purchase of goods and services relating to the Company’s commercial operations, or also those which, although non-commercial in origin, cannot be considered as derivative financial instruments.
(Continued)
5
SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
Debts and payables are initially measured at the fair value of the consideration received, adjusted for any directly attributable transaction costs. These liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when the obligations that generated them are extinguished.
4.6. Cash and cash equivalents
This item includes cash on hand, current bank accounts and deposits which comply with all the following requirements:
· They are convertible into cash.
· They have a maturity of three months or less on the date of acquisition.
· They are not subject to a significant risk of changes in value.
· They form part of the Company’s usual cash management policy.
4.7. Classification as current and non-current
Current assets are assets associated with the normal operating cycle, which in general is considered to be one year; other assets which are expected to mature, be disposed of or be realised within twelve months after the end of the reporting period; financial assets held for trading, except for financial derivatives that will be settled in a period exceeding one year; and cash and cash equivalents. Assets that do not meet these requirements are classified as non-current assets.
Similarly, current liabilities are liabilities associated with the normal operating cycle, financial liabilities held for trading, except for financial derivatives that will be settled in a period exceeding one year; and, in general, all obligations that will mature or be extinguished in the short term. All other liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities.
4.8. Income tax
The income tax expense and tax income for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax reflects income tax settlements payable for the year. Deductions and other tax relief applicable to payable taxes, excluding withholdings and payments on account, and tax loss carryforwards applied in the current reporting period are accounted for as a reduction in current tax.
Deferred tax income or expenses derive from the recognition and cancellation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include temporary differences, which are defined as the amounts which are expected to be paid or recovered in the future for differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax value, as well as unused tax loss carryforwards and deductions. These amounts are recognised by applying the rate of tax at which they are expected to be recovered or settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, unless the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the Company will obtain future tax profits against which they can be offset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities originating from operations with debits or credits to equity items are also recognised with a balancing entry in equity.
Recognised deferred tax assets are re-calculated at each accounting close and the necessary adjustments made where doubts exist as to their future recovery.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are also evaluated at year end and subsequently recognised provided that their offset against future tax profits is probable.

SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
4.9. Income and expenses
Income and expenses are recognised on an accruals basis, considering the actual flow of the goods and services they represent, irrespective of collections and payments. Income is calculated at the fair value of the consideration received, net of discounts and taxes.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion at the reporting date, provided that the outcome of the transaction can be reliably estimated.
Interest earned on financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividends are recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. Interest and dividends generated by financial assets after their acquisition are taken to income.
4.10. Provisions and contingencies
When preparing the annual accounts the Company’s directors made a distinction between:
1. Provisions: balances payable for current obligations deriving from past events, settlement of which will probably require an outflow of undetermined resources as regards the amount and/or date of settlement.
2. Contingent liabilities: possible obligations arising from past events, the future materialisation of which is conditional on the occurrence or not of one or more events beyond the Company’s control.
These interim financial statements include all the provisions for amounts for which it is considered that it is more likely than not that the obligation will have to be settled. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the annual accounts, but rather are disclosed in the notes, unless the possibility of their materialising is considered to be remote..
Provisions are measured at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount necessary to settle or transfer the obligation, taking into account available information on the event and its consequences, and any adjustments arising from the restatement of these provisions are recognised as a finance cost as they are accrued.
Reimbursements from third parties of the expenditure required to settle an obligation are recognised as a separate asset provided that it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received, except in the case that a legal relationship exists through which part of the risk has been externalised, and by virtue of which the Company will not be obliged to respond; in this situation, the compensation will be taken into account to estimate the amount for which, where applicable, the corresponding provision should be recognised.
4.11. Termination benefits
By law, in certain circumstances the Company is liable to pay termination benefits to employees whose services are discontinued. Consequently, termination benefits that can be reasonably quantified are recognised as an expense in the year in which a valid expectation is raised among the affected parties. There is no provision for this item in the accompanying annual accounts as situations of this nature are not expected to arise.
4.12. Equity items of an environmental nature
Environmental assets are those items that the Company uses in its activities on a permanent basis to minimise the environmental impact of its activity and protect and improve the environment, including the reduction and elimination of future pollution.
Due to its nature, the Company’s activity does not have a significant impact on the environment.
(Continued)

SOCIAL POINT, S.L.
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
4.13. Non-current employee remuneration
In 2012 the Company implemented a plan linked to the increase in value of Social Point, S.L., whereby certain employees adhering to this plan will receive a cash amount linked to the occurrence of certain triggering events under certain conditions. The amount of the incentive will be set by the increase in the market value of the notional interest in the Company granted to the beneficiary from the date of adhesion to the plan until the triggering event occurs.
Transactions in which goods and services received, including services rendered by employees, are settled by the company through own equity instruments, such as share options or rights over the revaluation of shares, will be considered as share-based payment transactions.
Recognition
The Company recognises the goods or services received as an expense based on their nature, at the date they are obtained and the corresponding liability once the transaction has been settled in cash at an amount based on the value of the equity instruments. The liability is recognised to the extent that the Company incurs a present obligation to settle in cash. Plan participants are required to complete a certain period of services, therefore the expense is recognised as these services are rendered over the period from the date the options are given until the date the triggering event is estimated to occur.
Measurement
The goods or services received and the liability to be recognised are measured at fair value of the liability at the date the requirements for their recognition are met.
The liability is subsequently measured until settlement at its fair value at each year end, and any changes in value taking place during the year are taken to profit or loss.
In the six-month period ended on 30 June 2016, the recognition of the liability at fair value has resulted in the net charge of Euros 926 thousand recognised this purpose in the income statement under the personnel expenses increasing the provision to Euros 3,492 thousand (provision of Euros 2,566 thousand at 31 December 2015) as explained in the note 12.
In the six-month period ended on 30 June 2015, the recognition of the liability at fair value resulted in the net reversal of Euros 2,091 thousand recognised this purpose in the income statement under personnel expenses decreasing the provision to Euros 1,603 thousand (provision of Euros 3,258 thousand in 2014) as explained in the note 12.
4.14. Foreign currency transactions
The functional currency used by the Company is the Euro. Consequently, operations in currencies other than the Euro are considered to be denominated in foreign currency. The criterion followed throughout the year was to apply the exchange rate published on the OANDA platform on the last day of the previous month, for months in course. Exchange gains and losses are taken directly to the income statement for the year they are incurred.

8.3. Qualitative information on the nature and level of risk of financial instruments
8.3.1 Qualitative information
The financial risk management of the Company is centralised under Finance Management, which has mechanisms in place to control exposure to interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations, as well as to credit and liquidity risk. The main financial risks affecting the Company are as follows.
a) Credit risk:
The Company generally deposits cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions that have high credit ratings.
The Company has no credit insurance to secure receivables from customers due to the apparent solvency of those carrying out a significant volume of transactions.
The Company carries out a high volume of transactions involving small amounts for services rendered electronically to multiple customers. Nevertheless the collection of amounts due for these services is managed by four intermediaries.
b) Liquidity risk:
To ensure sufficient liquidity to meet all the payment commitments deriving from its activity, the Company has the cash shown on its balance sheet.
c) Market risk:
The Company operates internationally and is therefore exposed to currency risk when operating with foreign currencies, especially with regard to the US Dollar.

9.4. Capitalisation reserve
Article 25 of Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014 of 27 November 2014 stipulates that companies or tax groups that opt to reduce their taxable income by an amount equivalent to 10.00% of the increase in equity calculated in accordance with the afore mentioned article 25 must appropriate the amount of the capitalisation reserve to a non-distributable reserve. However, the amount of the reduction in taxable income may not exceed 10.00% of taxable income prior to the reduction. The reserve has the following characteristics:
· It must be equivalent to the higher of the reduction in taxable income or 10.00% of the increase in equity, calculated in accordance with the provisions of article 25 of Law 27/2014.
· This reserve is non-distributable during a period of five years from the end of the tax period in which the reduction was generated.
· The increase in the equity of the Company or the tax group must be maintained throughout every year until it becomes distributable in accordance with the preceding point, except if the Company or tax group incur accounting losses.
Pursuant to article 25.1.b) of Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014, the board of directors agreed in 2015 to appropriate a non-distributable capitalisation reserve of Euros 983,980.80 with a charge to voluntary reserves.

9.5. Limitations on the distribution of dividends
Once the appropriations required by the law or by-laws have been made, dividends may only be distributed with a charge to profit for the year or freely distributable reserves provided that equity is not reduced to below share capital. If, as a result of prior years’ losses, the Company’s equity falls below its share capital, profits shall be used to offset those losses.

11.3. Reconciliation between accounting profit and income tax expense
The reconciliation between accounting profit and income tax expense for 2016 and 2015 is as follows:
| | Euros | |
| | 30/06/2016 | | 30/06/2015 | |
Accounting profit before income tax | | 743,539 | | 11,653,754 | |
Impact of permanent differences | | 67,079 | | 50,136 | |
Tax at 25% | | (432,357 | ) | (75,000 | ) |
Tax at 28% | | — | | (2,257,721 | ) |
Adjustments due to change in tax rate | | — | | 49,100 | |
Impact of temporary differences | | (229,951 | ) | (659,976 | ) |
Offset of tax credit | | 350 | | 574 | |
Tax income for the year | | (202,055 | ) | (2,943,023 | ) |
Temporary differences relate mainly to charges and applications of provisions recognised by the Company, as described in note 12.
In addition, Law 27/2014 of 27 November 2014, which entered into force in 2014, introduced corporate income tax reforms. These reforms included, inter alia, modifying the general corporate income tax rate to 28% for 2015 and 25% for 2016.
Law 16/2012, which introduced several fiscal measures to consolidate public finances and boost economic activity, was passed on 27 December 2012. One of the aforementioned measures consisted of limiting deductions to 70% of accounting amortisation and depreciation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property for the tax periods beginning in 2013 and 2014, thereby generating a temporary difference between tax and accounting criteria of Euros 88 thousand in 2014 (Euros 33 thousand in 2013). This adjustment will be deducted on a straight-line basis over 10 years or optionally over the useful life of the asset, as of the first tax period beginning in 2015.
11.4. Details of the income tax expense
Details of income tax expense and income are as follows (in Euros):

Deferred tax assets from non-deductible provision | | 904,386 | | 418,190 | |
Total deferred tax assets | | 904,386 | | 418,190 | |
Based on the best estimate of the Company’s future profits, including certain tax planning initiatives, the directors of the Company have considered it probable that the above deferred tax assets will be recovered, hence they have recognised these in the balance sheet in connection with the provisions described in note 12.
11.6. Deferred tax liabilities
Details at the 2016 and 2015 reporting dates are as follows:
| | Euros | |
| | 30/06/2016 | | 30/06/2015 | |

11.7. Years open to inspection and tax inspections
In accordance with current legislation, taxes cannot be considered definitive until they have been inspected and agreed by the taxation authorities or before the inspection period of four years has elapsed. At 30 June 2016 date the Company has all of its taxes for the last four years open to inspection. The directors of the Company consider that the aforementioned taxes have been adequately settled, and consequently, even if discrepancies were to arise in the interpretation of prevailing standards with respect to the tax treatment of these operations, the accompanying annual accounts would not be significantly affected by any resulting liabilities.

Provisions for long-term employee benefits
As described in note 4.13 the Company implemented a plan linked to the increase in value of Social Point, S.L., whereby certain employees adhering to this plan will receive a cash amount linked to the occurrence of certain triggering events under certain conditions.
The provision recognised at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 reporting dates is equivalent to the present value of the difference between the estimated market value of the Company on occurrence of the triggering event and the market value of the notional percentage assigned to each employee at the date when the employee opts into the plan.
As described in note 4.13 on measurement standards, the Company recognises services received as an expense by nature at the date they are rendered, and the associated liability (to be paid in cash on settlement of the plan). At the 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 reporting dates, liabilities are measured at their fair value at the date the requirements for their recognition are met. The present value of the commitments has been determined by a qualified independent expert based on the estimated share price and the following assumptions:
| | 30/06/2016 | | 30/06/2015 | |
Term to maturity | | 2.5 | | 2.5 | |
Risk-free rate | | 1.19 | % | 1.19 | % |
Volatility | | 71.90 | % | 71.90 | % |
The expected volatility is estimated based on the average two-year historical volatility for companies operating in the same sector.
In the six-month period ended 30 June 16, the recognition of the fair value of liabilities required a net charge Euros 926 thousand of the provision for this incentive in the income statement (net reversal 2,091 thousand in the six month period ended 30 June 2015).
Sensitivity analysis
In 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 the market value of the Company on occurrence of the triggering event is based on the share appraisal carried out by an independent expert. Changes in the market value of the Company on occurrence of the triggering event will depend on the future performance of the business.
Had the estimated market value of the Company increased by more than 10% at the 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 reporting dates, the provision for long-term employee benefits would have been Euros 436 thousand and Euros 153 thousand higher, respectively.
Current provision for returns
The provision for returns reflects the directors’ best possible estimate.

18. Summary of significant differences between Spanish GAAP and US GAAP
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with the legislation governing financial information applicable to the Company in Spain (“Spanish GAAP”) which differs in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). A summary of significant differences between the two sets of accounting principles which are applicable to the Company is set out below:
a) Revenue recognition of sales of virtual goods
Under Spanish GAAP, revenue from the sale of virtual goods is recognized when a user acquires and receives such goods.
Under US GAAP, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the seller’s price to the customer is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. Because of the Company’s continued obligation to the consumer to facilitate the use of the acquired virtual good, revenue is recognized rateably over the estimated offering period.
b) Share based payments (long-term employee benefits)
Under Spanish GAAP, phantom share based plans to be liquidated in cash are recognized as liabilities and are initially measured at the fair value and subsequently remeasured each period until their settlement. The change in fair value is recognized as financial expense, which is not a component of operating expense.
Under US GAAP phantom share plans are also treated as liabilities and remeasured each period. However, the remeasurement of the liability is classified as a personnel expense, which is a component of operating expense.
c) Deferred taxes
Under Spanish GAAP, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet at their realizable value as non-current assets or liabilities, regardless of the expected date of realization or liquidation. To be able to recognize an asset, it must be likely that the Company will have future tax benefits which will allow the Company to compensate the negative tax bases within a period not exceeding the period provided by tax legislation.
Under US GAAP deferred tax assets are recognized in full and a valuation allowance is separately recognized to reduce the value to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
