Or Shani, Chief Executive Officer of Adgorithms, commented:
"During this period we have worked hard to realign our business
and focus on our core strategic priorities following the disruption
witnessed throughout the online advertising market during the
second half of 2015.
"We believe there is a significant market opportunity for
Adgorithms with Albert at the heart of our business as the
marketing industry continues to seek out data-driven solutions in
an increasingly cluttered data world. The collection and
aggregation of data from multiple sources is only useful if you are
able to draw correlations, such as the conversion of a Facebook ad
versus an email campaign, and ultimately improve your customer
offering.
"Albert 2.0 offers a single end-to-end digital marketing
solution - from media buying to execution, optimisation and
analysis. Its AI capabilities enable Albert to offer proactive
insights and recommendations from the information gathered. Real AI
marketing systems, as opposed to automated programmatic software,
thrive off experimentation - just like human marketers - and can
run thousands of variables in micro-seconds thus enabling brands to
drive revenue, reduce costs and make more informed investment
decisions at a pace and scale not previously possible.
"We believe there is a huge market opportunity for Albert and
look forward to reporting progress in due course."

Operational Review
INTRODUCTION
Adgorithms is pleased to report half year results for the six
months ended 30 June 2016. In the period, the Company delivered
revenues of $8.7m, and adjusted gross profit of $2.2m.
Adjusted COGS amounted to $6.4m (74% of total revenues) for the
six months ended 30 June 2016, down from $8.0m (65% of revenues) in
the same period last year.
Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 56%
in H1 2016 (H1 2015: 13%). Adgorithms has seen an increase in its
sales and marketing expenses as we build our US team to make the
most of the opportunity in that market and to accelerate market
penetration. This team is now nearly fully staffed.
Adjusted EBITDA loss in the first six months of the year was
$(2.6)m (adjusted EBITDA H1 2015: $2.6m), due to downward margin
pressure caused by disruption to both supply and demand on
advertising exchanges, and the investment to support the launch and
promotion of the SaaS platform.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.0m to $28.1m as at 30
June 2016, compared to $31.1m at 31 December 2015 and $34.7m at 30
June 2015. Net cash of $2.8m deployed in operating activities
mainly related to increase in headcount during H1 2016 in order to
support extension and implementation of the Company's SaaS
platform.

The Group remains focused on further developing its Artificial
Intelligence ('AI') marketing solution, Albert, which automates the
process of media planning and buying, execution, optimisation and
analysis to maximise the return on investment (ROI) for brands.
MARKET SUMMARY
Since listing on AIM in June 2015, there has been a dramatic
shift in the online advertising market, in terms of both the
industry's trading environment and also in terms of brands'
engagement with the increasingly diverse and growing number of
recognised channels across digital media.
In H2 2015, a number of advertising exchanges sought to reduce
the amount of fraudulent inventory on their platforms, with
dramatic action driving down transaction volumes significantly.
Whilst transaction volumes have stabilised since then, the volumes
have not recovered to the levels seen previously and we anticipate
these suppressed volumes to continue for some time and continue to
be unpredictable.
In parallel to the disruption to the traditional ad exchange
based markets, more and more brand advertisers are recalling their
online media budgets for evaluation, underpinned by an increase in
demand for transparency and accountability of media spend. This is
expected to benefit Adgorithms as it continues to market its SaaS
solution to enable brands to reclaim control of their media
spend.
BUSINESS SUMMARY
SaaS channel
The SaaS version of Albert, allows brands the autonomy of using
the software to run campaigns in house with greater efficiency and
transparency. Not only does it allow one individual to oversee the
running of multiple campaigns, but also enables brands to deliver a
greater ROI, eliminate costs and execute at a pace and scale not
previously possible. The Company intends to continue to focus its
efforts on its SaaS solution given the much greater value that this
can create for the brand customer as well as the long term value of
such customers to Adgorithms.
We are very pleased to announce we continue to see increased
traction with Albert as a SaaS solution in accordance with the
Company's 2016 SaaS deployment plan. Adgorithms has a dedicated
team of account managers who are the liaison point for customers
and responsible for the on-boarding process and provision of
required training to allow our customers to autonomously run their
campaigns in house.
Typically, brands using Albert are reporting significant
improvement in conversions or return on investment, compared to
other platforms.
SaaS currently represents a very small but growing proportion of
overall revenues and is expected to become increasingly meaningful
over time.
Indirect channel
Albert also transacts on undervalued inventory on advertising
exchanges. Adgorithms acquires this inventory when it is
under-priced relative to the economic value Albert prescribes to
it, and then aggregates the purchased impressions and sells them to
advertisers or media agencies seeking advertising space. This
channel currently represents the vast majority of the Company's
revenue.
As anticipated, the indirect channel remains unpredictable and
challenging. Throughout the first half of the year the Company saw
several major changes in client, supply and demand volumes. Some of
these were due to large mergers and consolidations, whilst some
were due to change in business strategy by certain platforms. The
Company believes the environment will remain volatile during the
second half of the year. By way of example, the Company's largest
demand partner has recently decided to update many of its internal
processes and controls in dealing with its partners, potentially
due to its recent acquisition. This decision has impacted many of
its partners, including Adgorithms, and this may continue in coming
months. However, in a bid to minimize the impact of such
disruptions, the Company has been working to diversify its
partnerships and customer base in the indirect segment and to this
end has engaged with over 50 new supply and demand partners in the
period.
Launch of Albert 2.0
Adgorithms recently announced the launch of Albert 2.0, an
expanded version of the original software, offering more channels
and capabilities for ads and emails than the previous iteration.
Albert 2.0 builds on the capabilities of the first generation
software, adding video ads, search ads on Google and Bing, social
ads on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, push notifications, SMS and
email marketing.
The second generation software works in the same way as the
previous version and is designed to learn, test and calibrate
campaigns until Albert meets the established KPIs, with autonomous
media buying, campaign execution (timing, channels), testing,
optimisation and reports. Albert takes the parameters of the
particular campaign, then tests and optimises thousands of
variables in mini-campaigns, before executing full ad and email
campaigns.
GROWTH STRATEGY
The Board is focused on the following priorities:
-- To continue to market Albert as a SaaS solution by building a
strong sales and marketing team to drive market penetration
-- To increase its foothold in the U.S market with a significant
number of case studies in an array of industries
-- To continue developing the capabilities of Albert - our pioneering AI marketing platform
-- To diversify the indirect revenue customer and supplier base
In order to further grow our market position, we will continue
to invest in developing additional functions for Albert to ensure
it will address even more channels and solutions for digital
advertisers, with the launch of Albert 3.0 in due course. We
continue to believe the US market is the most advanced market for
our solution and to that end, we have bolstered our North American
sales and marketing team, with 15 staff now on site in our New York
office, including our Chief Executive Officer, Or Shani, our Chief
Technology Officer, Tomer Naveh and our Chief Revenue Officer,
Geoff Farris to drive the push into the US.
Through our SaaS offering and deploying Albert in-house with
brands, we are working to develop a recurring revenue stream.
Whilst revenues generated through SaaS sales are still very small,
they have shown encouraging progress over the last 6 months.
OUTLOOK
We continued to see subdued trading conditions in the first half
of 2016 in our indirect business, which is our primary generator of
revenue. However, we have put in place a strategy to reduce our
exposure to future risks with the diversification of our indirect
business customer and supplier base, and to generate recurring
revenues through our SaaS business, with a growing number of
leading brands actively using Albert to optimise online campaigns.
The advertising industry typically sees strong trading in the
fourth quarter in the US and Europe driven by the holiday and
shopping season and with the tendency of brands to use up the
remainder of their advertising budget for the calendar year.
Whilst we do not anticipate revenues returning to previous
levels in our indirect business, we are confident that through a
diversified base, we will be able to mitigate some of the risks in
this area and we believe we will have further success in the
conversion of customers from trial to commercial agreement with
Albert as a SaaS function. With our bolstered US sales and
marketing team, we also believe we will continue to secure trials
of Albert with additional customers and are confident that these
trials will clearly show the benefits of using Albert against a
manually driven online advertising campaign.
The Board remains positive about the medium term trading
prospects of the Group.

of Israel and commenced operations in September 2010. The Company's
registered address is 20 Lincoln Street, Tel-Aviv, Israel.
The Company is engaged in the field of solutions for online

Total net proceeds from the issuance amounted to $30,326.
b. In March 2014, the Company established a wholly-owned
subsidiary in the United States, Adgorithms Inc. ("the
Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary, which commenced operating in

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in the interim consolidated
financial statements have been applied consistently with those
followed in the annual consolidated financial statements for all
periods presented.
a. Revenues:
In addition to its direct and in-direct revenues, the Company is
also generating SaaS ("Software as a Service") revenue which is
accounted for as part of direct revenue. Revenues from SaaS are
being recognized ratably over the term of the service period and
are reported on a net basis based on the Company's evaluation of
the accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations.
b. Unaudited interim financial information
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in a condensed format in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union ("IFRS as adopted by the EU") for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information
and footnotes required by IFRS as adopted by the EU for complete
financial statements, and therefore, they should be read in
conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as of
31 December 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
six-month period ended 30 June 2016 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ended 31 December
2016.
NOTE 3:- COMMITMENTS
In September 2016, a statement of claim was filed against the
Company, Adgorithms group CEO, Mr. Or Shani, and the Company's CFO,
Mr. Ron Stern by a former service provider of the Company with the
Magistrate Court of Tel-Aviv in Israel claiming, among others, that
the Company, Mr. Shani and Mr. Stern are liable for certain fees
due to such service provider (the "Claim"). No provision in respect
of the Claim was included in the financial statements as of 30 June
2016, as the Company's current position is that all allegations are
groundless and the probability that any allegations brought against
the Company, Mr. Shani and Mr. Stern will result in a material cost
to the Company are very low. However, due to the early stages of
the proceedings, the Company cannot predict with certainty as to
the final outcome of the Claim.
NOTE 4:- EQUITY
Share-based payments:
In October 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted
the Company's 2013 Share Option Plan ("Plan"). The Plan provides
for the grant of options to purchase Ordinary shares of the Company
to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the
Company.
The share-based payment transactions that the Company granted to
its employees are described below.
In June 2016 the CEO and founder, Mr. Or Shani, waived his
rights with respect to all of his existing options over 2,012,999
Ordinary shares.
As a result of the aforementioned waiver, the Company recorded
in its consolidated statement of comprehensive income an expense
amounting to $146.
Option issued to employees:
Options granted under the Plan expire 10 years from the vesting
commencing date. The options generally vest over three years (1/3
at each year). As of 30 June 2016, circa 22% of the outstanding
options will vest subject to continuation of employment with or
rendering service to the Company or Affiliate and in accordance
with the vesting schedule based upon the achievement of non-market
performance goals (the "Goals"). These options are expensed based
on the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service
period, based on the probability of achieving such Goals. If the
Goals are not met, no compensation cost will be recognized and any
previously recognized compensation cost will be reversed.
