Ami Daniel, CEO and Co-Founder of Windward said:
"The last twelve months have highlighted the value of our platform and the responsiveness of our company, giving me great confidence in our ability to continue to successfully navigate the ongoing challenges of the inflationary environment, while delivering the insights required by our customers for their organisations to thrive.
"As we move into 2023, our mission to become the leading decision support platform for real-time maritime data intelligence through ground-breaking technology remains unchanged. The increasing risks in maritime trade presented by the war in the Ukraine, ongoing supply chain delays, and an increasing pressure to tackle illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and associated labour abuses are fuelling demand for our offering. In the wider market, we see increasing levels of M&A and capital raises, suggesting this is a golden age for maritime and AI, and as a result, for Windward. Our technology and team are at the forefront of this market opportunity, ready and willing to build a global leader in the space."

Chairman's statement
2022 has been another landmark year for Windward, in which the Company has proven its ability to capture market share in the key Commercial and US Government segments, while continuing to add a range of powerful capabilities to its unique maritime AI platform.
Our platform pushes the boundaries of comprehensive data and ground-breaking technology to solve the toughest marine challenges. In a year which has witnessed the ongoing devastating impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the lingering effects of the COVID pandemic on the supply chain and shipping costs, the insights the Windward platform provides ha ve never been more important - enabling our customers to trade with confidence, manage risks and drive efficiency across their operations.
The funds raised at IPO in December 2021 have been carefully invested in the expansion of our R&D teams and sales and marketing activities, with the benefits of these investments already clear to see in the significant expansion of our customer base, which now numbers over 130.
However, Windward is not immune to the wider inflationary environment, and in recognition of the need to ensure costs remain contained, such that the Company can be financially self-sufficient, the management team have embarked on a substantial efficiency drive across the organisation. The intention being for the business to reach breakeven earlier than previously planned, while continuing to deliver on its product roadmap and growth trajectory.
A growing base of high-margin, recurring revenues
Windward has delivered ACV growth of 2 1% in the year, exiting 2022 with ACV of $25.5m, providing a solid basis for further expansion in 2023. While the overall rate of growth was impacted by lower than anticipated levels of renewals in Non-US government customers (specifically an EMEA customer which we expect to renew in H1 2023). This still represents 40% ACV growth in our strategic areas of focus: Commercial and US government, where we see far greater opportunity and more predictable revenues.
Revenue increased 2 5% to $21.6m (2021: $17.4m), with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.1m (2021: $8.6m). The Company remains well capitalised with net cash of $22.1m at year end, significantly more than required to meet its expected costs, and enters 2023 in an enhanced strategic position, due to its expanded offering, capabilities, broader customer base and supportive market drivers.
People and culture
The Windward team expanded considerably during 2022 and now numbers 150 people across its four locations, all bonded by a shared culture and vision. The pace of innovation at Windward is extraordinary, and this is undoubtedly due to the passion, commitment and drive of its people. On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my thanks to them all for their part in the Company's ongoing success.
ESG
With our central purpose in mind, we are committed to progressing matters concerning Environment, Social and Governance across our offerings, the way we approach our employees and the communities in which we serve.
Given the reality of the current energy trilemma of climate change, security and affordability, we are assisting decarbonisation and energy efficiency. Essential to the global economy is the application of innovative technologies which are likely to play an increasingly critical role in transforming the world we live in for the better. Our work on sanctions assists in defining energy security.
Windward has expanded its Data for Decarbonisation initiative, enabling all stakeholders in the industry to partner and contribute data to support the future reduction of emissions. This led to the launch in Q3 of Windward's Vessel Fuel Consumption API, which provides fuel consumption assessments with up to 95% accuracy, on average, per voyage, resulting in up to 10% fuel savings. The solution has the potential to play a significant role in the reduction of fuel consumption by ships and we are committed to continuing to innovate, to support the decarbonisation agenda, and ultimately, contribute to more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices across the maritime space.
Outlook
With an increasingly broad and blue-chip customer base, expanding offering and industry leading levels of innovation, I remain convinced Windward is only at the start of its growth trajectory. The legislative and practical complexity within the maritime industry is increasing and visibility remains low - meaning a range of maritime actors increasingly require sophisticated and comprehensive analysis and insights in order to manage their risks and compliance, adhere to sanctions, and drive efficiencies.
This growing demand represents a huge opportunity for Windward, against which the team have proven their ability to execute. The business has entered 2023 with a focus on efficiency alongside growth, and the Board are confident in a successful year ahead.
Edmund John Phillip Browne,
The Lord Browne of Madingley
Non-Executive Chairman
CEO statement
I am pleased with the Company's progress against our key strategic objectives in our first full year as a publicly traded company. We have expanded our offering to enter new areas of the maritime industry and secured many new customers, including some of the world's largest energy companies.
We have seen Annual Contract Value (ACV) from our two core market segments of US Government and Commercial both grow by 40%, meaning they now account for more than half of our ACV for the first time, demonstrating the applicability of our offerings to these significant parts of the maritime market.
The growth in our customer numbers in the year, from 8 3 to over 130 by year end, demonstrates the applicability of our offerings and effectiveness of our sales and marketing activities, while also providing a considerable expansion opportunity for Windward moving forward, with customers typically growing their use of the platform over time.
Commercial NRR (net retention rate) grew from 99% (2021) to 109% (2022).
Overall, ACV growth remained healthy at 2 1%, reaching $25.5m (2021: $21.2m), resulting in revenue growth of 25% to $21.6m (2021: $17.4m). Significant customer expansions include multi-year contracts with Shell and Gard. With our strategic focus areas of Commercial and US Government segments now the larger part of our business, and a lower level of Non-US Government renewals due in the current year, we are confident we will continue to see growth in ACV in 2023.
Focus on efficiency and optimisation
As reported in our trading update for FY22 on 12 January 2023, as part of our strategy to accelerate the time taken to reach profitability, the management team has introduced cost reduction measures across our operations to ensure our cost base for 2023 does not exceed the 2022 level. Certain efficiencies have been identified, including reductions in our cloud hosting costs, a freeze on management pay and a careful reduction in headcount and the use of consultants. As a result of these measures, in combination with the considerable opportunity to rapidly scale our high margin subscription revenues from existing and new clients, we are targeting to reach EBITDA breakeven earlier than as previously stated in 2024. More than anything, it's a mindset that we have driven throughout the Company and it is being positively adopted.
The Company remains well capitalised, with net cash of $22.1m at year end, more than required to meet our plans to reach breakeven and the management team believes 2023 will show an improved performance over 2022.
Growing profile and capabilities
2022 saw Windward's profile increase considerably, both through the use of our insights within the international business press regarding the impact of the Russian invasion on Ukraine on the shipping industry and trade, as well as through the winning of high-profile new customers. We are now a recognised challenger to some of the more traditional data providers to the maritime industry, and we are confident that our approach to the fusion of deep artificial intelligence capabilities with maritime expertise will continue to set us apart.
Innovation is expanding our opportunity
We believe that we can always do better and are continuously upgrading our data and technologies to deliver better, faster, and more powerful maritime AI solutions for the entire maritime supply chain.
In 2022, we entered the supply chain market which is orders of magnitude larger than others we have been operating in. After launching our Ocean Freight Visibility solution, we have signed up more than two dozen clients, including importers / exporters, logistics service providers and key port operators. The products rely heavily on our data platform and utilise our mature AI capabilities.
We have also expanded our product suite to our trading and shipping customer base by launching our Vessel Fuel Consumption product, a differentiated AI solution providing fuel consumption assessments with up to 95% accuracy on average per voyage, enabling stakeholders to optimise chartering decisions and manage their carbon footprint, while increasing economic efficiency.
With initial early results indicating return on investment of up to $70k per voyage, we believe our carbon solution will be attractive both to existing and new customers and hope to report on positive interest from across our customer base as we progress through the year.
Key focus areas for 2023
Entering the new financial year, we continue to expand our insights and innovation across our platform while capturing the growing industry demand.
Our key focus areas are to:
1. Expand our commercial customer base and take our Fuel Consumption product to market. 2. Build our supply chain business.
3. Expand our customer base in the US Government market and deepen our reach into the Defense space, aiming to sign multi year contracts.
4. Retain existing business in the RoW government and achieve modest growth in this segment.
The hard work and talent of our teams continues to play an instrumental role in our success. I would like to express my gratitude to all our colleagues for their part in our shared ambition to drive innovation and transform the maritime market.
Current trading and outlook
Trading in the first few months of 2023 is progressing well. ACV is tracking in line with our expectations for this point in the year, and our focus on efficiency provides a clear roadmap to positive EBITDA.
The last twelve months have highlighted the value of our platform and the responsiveness of our company, giving me great confidence in our ability to continue to successfully navigate the ongoing challenges of the inflationary environment, while delivering the insights required by our customers for their organisations to thrive.
As we move into 2023, our mission to become the leading decision support platform for real-time maritime data intelligence through ground-breaking technology remains unchanged. The increasing risks in maritime trade presented by the war in the Ukraine, ongoing supply chain delays, and an increasing pressure to tackle illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and associated labour abuses are fuelling demand for our offering. In the wider market, we see increasing levels of M&A and capital raises, suggesting this is a golden age for maritime and AI, and as a result, for Windward. Our technology and team are at the forefront of this market opportunity, ready and willing to build a global leader in the space.
Delivering on our growth strategy: four pillars to capture market demand and widen scope of services
1.LAND AND EXPAND
A core element of Windward's strategy is to focus on deepening its customer relationships through expanding the level and range of services it offers to customers following an initial project.
We have built a SaaS platform, delivering our solution over a cloud infrastructure and contracting with clients on a subscription basis. This ensures not only high levels of recurring revenue and visibility of revenue but also underpins our key strategic opportunity of upselling additional services and modules to our clients as we develop and release them.
In 2022, in view of the increased need to monitor maritime compliance requirements, ongoing supply chain delays and the ongoing drive to secure efficiencies across all industries, many of the Company's customers expanded their use of the platform in the year.
Commercial NRR grew from 99% to 109%.
Key expansions with existing customers in the year include:
-- a significant upsell with an existing US Federal customer, representing a 70% contract growth and extending the contract period for up to five years
-- growth in one of our supermajor accounts -- tripling of ACV for a RoW Caribbean customer, including a multi-year agreement -- two year extension with an Indian Government customer, representing 50% growth in ACV.
2. WINNING NEW ENTERPRISE AND GOVERNMENTAL CUSTOMERS
Windward segments its customers into three areas; Commercial, US Government and Rest of World (RoW) Government. Across these areas, Windward continued its rate of customer acquisition during the period, adding more than 50 new customers in the year, taking our total to over 130.
In line with its diversification strategy, Windward saw strong growth in its US Government and Commercial segments in particular during the year, with these segments now accounting for over 50% of the ACV, and growing year-on-year by more than 40%.
Key new customers secured during the year included:
-- a three-year enterprise contract with one of the world's largest publicly traded international oil and gas companies, adding to the existing blue-chip energy firms already utilising Windward's services
-- a two year contract with a North American Energy company -- a $6m three-year contract with an EMEA government customer.
Having launched our Ocean Freight Visibility (OFV) solution in February 2022, we signed over 20 new customers for this service from across the significant new market segments opened up by this product, including freight forwarders and cargo owners. Key customers include DSV, LF Logistics and Nippon Express.
3. EXPANDING THE GO-TO-MARKET APPROACH TO FURTHER INCREASE THE ADDRESSABLE MARKET
While our sales are typically carried out directly, and we expect this to be the primary route to market for some time to come, we have begun to explore new initiatives to widen our market reach, such as the announcement during the year of a partnership with Sea/, the world's first end-to-end digital shipping platform, which will see the joint delivery of a solution to enable Sea's customers to increase efficiency in chartering negotiations by streamlining compliance and due diligence processes.
4. INNOVATION / PRODUCT EXPANSION
Ensuring our platform remains an innovative and compelling option across our target markets is a core priority for Windward. Accordingly, as part of its strategy, the Company has focused on increasing the number of solutions and insights to support existing customers and target new markets during the period. These enhancements help to further embed our relationships with existing customers as well as opening up Windward to new customers and markets.
Key solutions released in 2022 include:
Ocean Freight Visibility
In February, the launch of our ground-breaking Ocean Freight Visibility solution to resolve one of the most critical issues currently affecting the maritime ecosystem - the lack of visibility over the supply chain. Powered by large datasets, the solution alerts freight forwarders and cargo owners to any potential delays to the shipping of their cargo, in real time, enabling these stakeholders to prepare for changes, communicate properly to their customers - and ultimately improve their planning.
New AI prediction capabilities were launched in June to complement the OFV solution, which provide accurate and reliable estimated time of arrival predictions and real-time visibility into container and vessel journeys, meaning customers can plan according to ongoing changes and disruptions to their supply chain.
"Russia" sanctions solution
In March we launched our "Russia" sanctions solution to support organisations in navigating newly introduced sanctions.
API Insights Lab
In June, we launched our API Insights Lab, meaning customers and partners are able to integrate Windward's artificial intelligence directly into their internal systems. We have seen first revenues from this product during 2022 and expect further growth in 2023.
Vessel Fuel Consumption API
In October, we launched our Vessel Fuel Consumption API, a differentiated AI solution providing fuel consumption assessments with up to 95% accuracy on average per voyage, as well as actionable insights.
Other areas of expansion include the introduction of a Non-Maritime Counterparty Due Diligence (CDD) capability, enabling Windward's customers to complete their due-diligence process with full third-party screenings all in one platform; and the expansion of Windward's maritime risk Insights platform to include illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing, provide law enforcement and government agencies a holistic view of the implications of this practice.

Financial Review
Windward management and Board regularly review metrics, including the following KPIs, to assess its performance, identify trends, develop financial projections and make strategic decisions. For a review of the key financial metrics, see below.
A KEY DRIVER OF FUTURE REVENUE IS ANNUAL CONTRACT VALUE (ACV)
ACV is a non-IFRS measure defined as the sum of all ACV for customers as of the measurement date. The ACV for each customer is the annual committed subscription value of each order booked for which Windward will be entitled to recognise revenue. For example, a contract for $1m with a committed contractual term of two years would have ACV of $0.5m, making the assumption for any period that the customer renews under the same terms and conditions.
As at 31 December 2022, Windward increased its ACV by 21% over 31 December 2021, driven primarily by the increase in customers from 83 to 132 over the same period, and to a lesser extent by an increase in upsells to existing customers made possible by expansion of the number of users or the product set. Growth in ACV has been in the USA Gov and Commercial markets while in ROW Gov there was a slight decrease in ACV due to higher than normal churn.

------------ ------------- ------------- ---------
We separate our Government customers into two market segments: Government outside USA (ROW) and USA Government. We do this as the buying cycle and pricing for each segment is different. For Government ROW, in most cases Windward is responding to a Request for Proposal ("RFP") process which can take between 9 to 18 months to conclude. For USA Government Windward typically sells a subscription-based solution on a price per user basis. Historically most of the annual awards from the U.S. Government agencies are linked to the U.S. Federal budget cycle which concludes annually at the end of September.
At the end of December 2022 our largest customer was at 10.9% (2021: 12.8%) of ACV and the next 5 biggest customers together were 26.9% (2021: 29.6%) of ACV.
The annual ACV churn rate is defined as the value of contracts lost from the existing customer base one year prior to the measurement date, as a proportion of the total ACV value of that existing customer base. The churn rate reflects customer losses and contractions but not any customer expansions of existing contracts.
Churn in 2022 was 19.5% (32% in ROW Gov and 5% in the other markets) compared to 5.7% in 2021. This higher than usual ROW Gov churn was due to losing 2 customers and 1 delayed renewal (expected to be renewed in H1 2023).

Adjusted EBITDA (12,112) (8,613) 40.6%
====================== ============= ============= =========
REVENUE
Revenue increased by 24.7% to $21.6m (2021: $17.4m). This increase was driven by 64% growth and 55% growth in our USA Government and Commercial segments respectively mostly from new customers adopting our solution for the first time. ROW Government decreased 1% in 2022 because of the high churn.
Gross margin
Gross margin decreased slightly to 71.6% in 2022 (72.5% in 2021), primarily due to hiring additional staff to support the growing number of customers and the continued investment in additional data required to support the compliance and the Ocean Freight Visibility offering and higher hosting costs. We expect margins to improve over time.
R&D
Research and development increased 30.8% from $9.4m in 2021 to $12.3m in 2022 as additional personnel were hired to support the development of new products as well as improving our existing solution and higher than normal wage increases because of the ongoing inflation. All R&D costs are expensed as they occur, we do not capitalise R&D costs.
S&M
Sales and marketing increased 34.3% from $9.8m in 2021 to $13.2m in 2022. The main reason for the increase was hiring additional sales managers in US, and Europe. In addition, we established a marketing team to support the increased focus on winning contracts in the commercial segment.
G&A
General and administrative expenses increased 71.6% from $3.2m in 2021 to $5.5m in 2022 reflecting the increased level of business activity and the company being a public company from December 2021.
CURRENCY EFFECT
Approximately 60% of the annual operating expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels (NIS), whilst most of the revenue is invoiced in USD and consequently the Company reports in USD. The average exchange rate between NIS and $ increased by 4% in 2022 versus 2021. Between January 1 and 30 June 2022, the $ has strengthened against GBP by approximately 11% and against the NIS and Euro by approximately 8%. During this period the company maintained its cash balances in all those currencies. This change resulted in $2.9m of reported exchange rate losses as part of financial expenses in 2022.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as profit before depreciation, amortisation, interest, tax and share-based payment charges and associated employer tax charges.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 excluded $2.6m of IPO related expenses.
Statement of financial position
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Windward had cash and cash equivalents on 31 December 2022 of $22.1m, a decrease of $21.5m from 31 December 2021. The decrease in cash was due to IPO related payments of $4.5m that were paid in early 2022, cash used for operations amounting to $13.8m and $3.1m exchange rate losses on cash and cash equivalents we held in currencies other than the $ mainly GBP, NIS, and Euro.
CASH FLOW
Windward used $13.8m to finance operating activities in 2022, a 123% increase from the $6.2m used in 2021. An additional $4.5m was used as payments related to the December 2021 IPO process relating to the exercise of options and sale of shares by certain existing option holders, where the Company acted as a paying agent.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
a. Windward Ltd. (the "Company" or and its subsidiaries the "Group") was incorporated in Israel and commenced its operations in January 2010. The registered office of the Company is Ha-Shlosha St 2, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. Windward is a leading maritime AI company, providing an all-in-one platform for risk management and maritime domain awareness needs. The Company has established two wholly owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and one in the United States, that provide sales and marketing services to the Company.
b. On December 6, 2021, the Company completed a process of listing its existing shares and issuing new shares on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (the IPO). As part of the IPO, the Company issued 16,956,255 new ordinary shares, with a par value of NIS 0.002 . In addition, as part of the IPO the convertible loan agreement converted to 2,035,317 ordinary shares, with a par value of NIS 0.002 and all the preferred shares that existed prior to the IPO were converted into 14,300,405 ordinary shares of par value NIS 0.002.
The gross issue proceeds amounted to approximately GBP 26,300 thousand ($35,000 thousands). The Company incurred transaction costs in the amount of approximately $4,686 thousands which were attributed $2,058 thousands for the issue of the new shares and were charged directly to equity and $2,628 thousands were attributed to listing for trading of existing shares and charged to the income statement. As a result of the above, the Company recorded a total of approximately $32,942 thousands to equity .
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of presentation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated historical financial information presents the financial track record of the Group for the two years ended December 31, 2022 and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The significant accounting policies described below have been applied consistently in relation to all the reporting periods, unless otherwise stated.
In determining and applying accounting policies, the management are required to make judgements and estimates in respect of items where the choice of specific policy, accounting judgement, estimate or assumption to be followed could materially affect the Group's reported financial position, results or cash flows and disclosure of contingent assets or liabilities during the reporting period; it may later be determined that a different choice may have been more appropriate. The Group 's critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty are detailed in note 3. Actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period; they are recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, subject to adjustments in respect of revaluation of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss presented at fair value.
b . Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates is U.S. dollar ("$" or "dollar"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollar ("$" or "dollar") currency units, which is the Company and its subsidiaries functional currency and the group presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates, are generally recognised in profit or loss. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss on a net basis within financial expenses/income.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
c. Principals of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
Inter-Company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
d. Cash and cash equivalents
All highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits, that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and short-term debentures, the period to maturity of which do not exceed three months at the time of investment, are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents exclude restricted cash.
e. Restricted deposit
Restricted deposits consist of cash deposits for office lease, credit card guarantee, guarantees required under a customer agreement. These deposits serve a collateral for bank guarantees.
f. Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives to their residual value of the related assets of the assets at the following annual rates:
%
Computers 15-33
Office furniture and equipment 7-15
Leasehold improvements are amortised utilising the straight-line method over the expected term of the lease.
g. Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of the carrying amount of non-financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. Where the carrying amount of a non-financial asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset relates. For all reporting periods no impairment losses have been identified.
h. Revenue recognition
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised over time, during the period the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance. The Company charges its customers based on payment terms agreed upon in specific agreements. When payments are made before or after the service is performed, the Company recognises the resulting contract asset or liability.
Transactions with financing:
The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient allowed by IFRS 15 according to which the Company does not separate the financing component in transactions for which the period of financing is one year or less and recognises revenue in the amount of the consideration stated in the contract even if the customer pays for the goods or services before or subsequent to their receipt.
The Company derives its revenue from-subscription fees from customers accessing the Company's enterprise cloud computing services (Software as a Service). The Company's agreements do not provide
customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the applications and, as a result, are accounted for as service contracts.
In order to obtain certain contracts with customers, the Company incurs incremental costs in obtaining the contract (such as sales commissions which are contingent on making binding sales). Costs incurred in obtaining the contract with the customer which would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained and which the Company expects to recover are recognised as an asset and amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the provision of the services under the specific contract.
Revenues are primarily recognised ratably as the service is provided to the customer and consist of fees paid for secured network connectivity services.
i. Employee benefit liabilities
1. Short-term employee benefits:
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
2. Post-employment benefits:
For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Israeli labour law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. Company's pension and severance pay liability to certain employees is covered mainly by purchase of insurance policies. Pursuant to section 14 of the Severance Compensation Act, 1963 ("section 14"), some of the Company's employees are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in their name with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with section 14 relieve the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees and as such the Company may only utilise the insurance policies for the purpose of disbursement of severance pay. The Company has recorded a severance pay liability for the amount that would be paid if certain of the employees that are not subject to section 14, were terminated at the balance sheet date, in accordance with Israeli labour law. This liability is computed based upon the number of years of service multiplied by their monthly salary, net of the amount deposited.
j. Share based compensation
The Company's employees are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity-settled share-based payment transactions.
Equity-settled transactions:
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at grant date. The fair value is determined using an acceptable option pricing model.
As for other service providers, the cost of the transactions is measured at the fair value of the goods or services received as consideration for equity instruments granted. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised in profit or loss together with a corresponding increase in equity during the period which the performance and/or service conditions are to be satisfied ending on the date on which the relevant employees become entitled to the award ("the vesting period"). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other vesting conditions (service and/or performance) are satisfied.
If the Company modifies the conditions on which equity-instruments were granted, an additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee/other service provider at the modification date.
If a grant of an equity instrument is canceled, it is accounted for as if it had vested on the cancelation date and any expense not yet recognised for the grant is recognised immediately. However, if a new grant replaces the canceled grant and is identified as a replacement grant on the grant date, the canceled and new grants are accounted for as a modification of the original grant, as described above.
k. Income taxes
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income, based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and where the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
l. Research and development costs
Costs associated with maintaining software programmers are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets where the following criteria are met:
-- it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use. -- management intends to complete the software and use or sell it. -- there is an ability to use or sell the software. -- it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic
benefits.
-- adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to
use or sell the software are available, and
-- the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably
measured.
When an internally developed intangible asset cannot be recognised, the development costs are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
For all the reporting periods, the above criteria have not been met and therefore all development costs have been recognised as an expense in profit or loss.
m. Leases
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
-- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
-- variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
-- amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees
-- the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
-- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The Company has not elected to apply the practical expedient in the Standard and separate the lease components from the non-lease components.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
-- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability -- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received -- any initial direct costs, and -- restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.
Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less without a purchase option.
n. Financial instruments
1. Financial assets:
Financial assets are measured upon initial recognition at fair value (except trade receivables) plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in respect of which transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognised at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less expected credit loss allowance.
The Company classifies and measures debt instruments in the financial statements based on the following criteria:
- The Company's business model for managing financial assets; and
- The contractual cash flow terms of the financial asset.
2. Impairment of financial assets:
The Company evaluates at the end of each reporting period the loss allowance for financial debt instruments which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Company distinguishes between two types of loss allowances:
a) Debt instruments whose credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, or whose credit risk is low - the loss allowance recognised in respect of this debt instrument is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses within 12 months from the reporting date (12-month expected credit losses); or
b) Debt instruments whose credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, and whose credit risk is not low - the loss allowance recognised is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the instrument's remaining term (lifetime expected credit losses).
The Company has short-term financial assets such as trade receivables in respect of which the Company applies a simplified approach and measures the loss allowance in an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
An impairment loss on debt instruments measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding loss allowance that is offset from the carrying amount of the financial asset.
The Company did not recognise an allowance for expected credit losses in all the reporting periods (see also note 5).
3. Derecognition of financial assets: a) financial asset is derecognised only when: - The contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset has expired; or
- The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards deriving from the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset; or
- The Company has retained its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset but has assumed a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows in full without material delay to a third party.
4. Financial liabilities: a) Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost:
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability.
After initial recognition, the Company measures all financial liabilities at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, except for:
- Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss such as derivatives.
5. Derecognition of financial liabilities:
A financial liability is derecognised only when it is extinguished, that is when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or canceled or expires. A financial liability is extinguished when the debtor discharges the liability by paying in cash, other financial assets, goods or services; or is legally released from the liability.
o. Provisions
A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects part or all of the expense to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense is recognised in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
The following are the types of provisions included in the financial statements:
Legal claims:
A provision for claims is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required by the Group to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
p. Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction will take place in the asset's or the liability's principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or for which fair value is disclosed are categorised into levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 that are observable directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - inputs that are not based on observable market
data (valuation techniques which use inputs
that are not based on observable market data).
q. Loss per share
(i) Basic loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing:
-- the loss attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares.
-- by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
-- the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
-- the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
r. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The Group operates in one operating segment.
s. Litigation
The Company is exposed to the risk of litigation from its customers, suppliers, employees, authorities and third parties impacted by the Company's activities, products or services, amongst others in the normal course of business. The Company is not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation which meets the recognition and disclosure requirements of IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
t. New International Financial Reporting Standards, Amendments to Standards and New Interpretations
1. New International Financial Reporting Standards, Amendments to Standards and New interpretations not yet adopted:
The narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1 clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or noncurrent, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date (e.g., the receipt of a waver or a breach of covenant). In addition, the amendments also clarify that 'settlement' of a liability is also in a manner of issuing equity instruments of the entity.
The amendment should be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of the amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
2. Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract - Amendments to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" (hereinafter: "IAS 37")
The amendment to IAS 37 clarifies that the direct costs of fulfilling a contract include both the incremental costs of fulfilling the contract and an allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling contracts. Before recognising a separate provision for an onerous contract, the entity recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract.
The amendment should be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of the amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :
In the process of applying the significant accounting policies, the Group has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
a) Judgments: - Development costs:
The Company has determined that in all the reporting periods, the criteria for recognising development project costs as intangible assets have not been met and therefore all of the development costs have been recognised in profit or loss.
- Deferred tax assets :
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused carryforward tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the timing and level of future taxable profits, its source and the tax planning strategy. The Company didn't recognise deferred tax assets in all the reporting periods.
b) Estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the application of the accounting policies and on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in accounting estimates are reported in the period of the change in estimate.
The key assumptions made in the financial statements concerning uncertainties at the reporting date and the critical estimates computed by the Group that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
- Determining the fair value of share-based payment transactions:
The fair value of share-based payment transactions is determined upon initial recognition by an acceptable option pricing model. The inputs to the model include share price, exercise price and assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected life of share option and expected dividend yield.

(*) The amount of ordinary shares used in calculating the loss per share includes potential ordinary shares resulting from a potential conversion of options with a negligible exercise price.
To compute diluted net loss per share, convertible securities (dilutive potential Ordinary shares options to employees under share-based payment plans), have not been taken into account since their conversion decreases the loss per share.
