Details are provided below of how the Company applies those parts of the Code, which it believes to be appropriate. Directors The Board comprises two executive Directors, two Non- Executive Directors and two independent Non-Executive Directors nominated by the majority shareholders of the Company. The Board generally meets a minimum five times a year and receives a Board pack comprising a report from senior management together with any other material deemed necessary for the Board to discharge its duties. It is the Board’s responsibility for formulating, reviewing and approving the Group’s strategy, budgets, major items of expenditure and acquisitions. Audit Committee The audit committee consists of Omer C. Eyal, Deborah M. Bitman and Ran Pappo and meets at least twice a year. The role of the audit committee is to review the management and systems of internal control of the company, including in consultation with the internal auditor and the company’s independent auditor and to recommend any remedial action.

Such systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate risks and can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. Each year, on behalf of the Board, the audit committee reviews the effectiveness of these systems. This is achieved primarily by considering risks potentially affecting the Group and from discussions with the external auditors. Each year, the Group is subject to internal audit, the results of which are presented to the audit committee. A comprehensive budgeting process is completed once a year and is reviewed and approved by the Board. The Group’s results, as compared against budget, are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis and discussed in detail at each meeting of the Board. The Group maintains appropriate insurance cover in respect of any legal actions against the Directors as well as against material loss or claims against the Group and reviews the adequacy of the cover regularly. To comply with AIM rules, the Company has adopted a code for dealings in its shares by directors and employees. - 17 - REPORT ON DIRECTORS REMUNERATION Remuneration Policy The remuneration packages for non-executive directors are based principally on annual salaries.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

The Company commenced its operations on October 1, 1998, and is engaged in developing advanced learning, training and simulation technologies and applications for use in professional communities. The Company's registered office is in Herzlia, Israel. The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States, SimiGon Inc. and National Simulation Services Inc., which are engaged in the marketing of the Company's products in the United States, and a wholly-owned subsidiary in Singapore, SimiGon Pte Ltd., which is engaged in the marketing of the Company's products in the Far East and a 70% holding in a subsidiary located in Colombia for the purpose of marketing the Company's products in South America. c. The Company's shares are traded on the Alternative Investment Market ("the AIM") on the London Stock Exchange. d. Definitions: In these financial statements: The Company - SimiGon Ltd. The Group - SimiGon Ltd. and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries - Companies that are controlled by the Company, as defined in IFRS 10. Related parties - As defined in IAS 24. Dollar/$ - U.S. dollar NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the financial statements for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated. a. Basis of preparation of the financial statements: These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS as adopted by the EU"). b. Functional currency, presentation currency and foreign currency: The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The functional currency of the subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. - 29 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency: SIMIGON LTD. Transactions denominated in foreign currency (other than the functional currency) are recorded on initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the end of each reporting period into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or recorded in equity in hedging transactions, are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. c. Consolidated financial statements: The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of companies that are controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing whether an entity has control. The consolidation of the financial statements commences on the date on which control is obtained and ends when such control ceases. The financial statements of the Company and of the subsidiaries are prepared as of the same dates and periods. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies by all companies in the Group. Significant intragroup balances and transactions and gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full in the consolidated financial statements. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Non-controlling interests are presented in equity separately from the equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company. Profit or loss and components of other comprehensive income are attributed to the Company and to non-controlling interests. Losses are attributed to non-controlling interests even if they result in a negative balance of non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position. d. Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are considered as highly liquid investments, including unrestricted short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. - 30 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) e. Short-term deposits: SIMIGON LTD. Short-term bank deposits are deposits with an original maturity of more than three months from the date of acquisition. The deposits are presented according to their terms of deposit. f. Allowance for doubtful accounts (accounting policy applied until December 31, 2017): The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined in respect of specific debts whose collection, in the opinion of the Company's management, is doubtful. The Company did not recognize an allowance in respect of groups of trade receivables that are collectively assessed for impairment due to immateriality. Impaired receivables are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible. g. Financial instruments: As described in Note 2(x)(2) regarding the initial adoption of IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments" ("the Standard"), the Company elected to adopt the provisions of the Standard retrospectively without restatement of comparative data. The accounting policy for financial instruments applied until December 31, 2017, is as follows: 1. Financial assets: Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in respect of which transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss. After initial recognition, the accounting treatment of investments in financial assets is based on their classification into one of the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; loans and receivables. a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: This category includes financial assets held for trading (short-term investments in mutual funds). b) Loans and Receivables: Loans and receivables are investments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, loans are measured based on their terms at amortized cost less directly attributable transaction costs using the effective interest method and less any impairment losses. - 31 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. Short-term receivables (such as trade and other receivables) are measured based on their terms, normally at face value. 2. Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. After initial recognition, loans and other liabilities are measured at amortized cost based on their terms net of directly attributable transaction costs using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, that is when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. A financial liability is extinguished when the debtor (the Group): discharges the liability by paying in cash, other financial assets, goods or services; or is legally released from the liability. The accounting policy for financial instruments applied commencing from January 1, 2018, is as follows: 1. Financial assets: Financial assets are measured upon initial recognition at fair value 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. 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. a) Debt instruments are measured at amortized cost when: The Company's business model is to hold the financial assets in order to collect their contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After initial recognition, the instruments in this category are measured according to their terms at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment. b) Equity instruments and other financial assets held for trading: Investments in equity instruments do not meet the above criteria and accordingly are measured at fair value through profit or loss. - 32 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. Other financial assets held for trading such as derivatives, including embedded derivatives separated from the host contract, are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. In respect of certain equity instruments that are not held for trading, on the date of initial recognition, the Company made an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income which changes would have otherwise been recorded in profit or loss. These changes will not be reclassified to profit or loss in the future, even when the investment is disposed of. Dividends from investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive the dividends is established. 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 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 amortized cost is recognized in profit or loss with a corresponding loss allowance that is offset from the carrying amount of the financial asset. 3. Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost: Financial liabilities are initially recognized 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 amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. 4. Derecognition of financial liabilities: A financial liability is derecognized only when it is extinguished, that is when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled 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. - 33 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) i. Leases: SIMIGON LTD. The criteria for classifying leases as finance or operating leases depend on the substance of the agreements and are made at the inception of the lease in accordance with the following principles as set out in IAS 17. The Group as lessee: Operating leases: Lease agreements are classified as an operating lease if they do not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Lease payments are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. j. Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including directly attributable costs, less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and any related investment grants and excluding day-to-day servicing expenses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets at annual rates as follows: Computers and peripheral equipment Office furniture and equipment Leasehold improvements % 33 7 - 15 (mainly 15%) Over the term of the lease or the expected life, whichever is shorter The useful life, depreciation method and residual value of an asset are reviewed at least each year-end and any changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized. An asset is derecognized on disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from its use. The gain or loss arising from the derecognizing of the asset (determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount in the financial statements) is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized. k. Intangible assets: Intangible assets (Technology) acquired in a business combination are included at fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at their cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. According to management's assessment, intangible assets have a finite useful life. - 34 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. The assets are amortized over their useful life using the straight-line method and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for prospectively as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization of intangible assets is recognized in the profit or loss. The useful life of the Technology is 10 years. l. Research and development: Research and development costs are charged to profit or loss as incurred as development costs do not meet the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset. m. Impairment of non-financial 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 is not recoverable. If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. In measuring value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks 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 belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. The following criteria are applied in assessing impairment of goodwill in respect of a business combination: For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at the acquisition date, to each of the Group's cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment once a year as of December 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill has been allocated. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units). Any impairment loss is allocated first to goodwill. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods. - 35 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) n. Government grants: SIMIGON LTD. Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with the attached conditions. Government grants received from the Office of the Chief Scientist ("OCS") and the Korea Israel Industrial R&D Foundation as support for research and development projects which grants include an obligation to pay royalties that are conditional on future sales arising from the project, are recognized upon receipt as a liability if future economic benefits are expected from the project that will result in royalty-bearing sales. If no such economic benefits are expected, the grants are recognized as a reduction of the related research and development expenses. In that event, the royalty obligation is treated as contingent liability in accordance with IAS 37. At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates, based on its best estimate of future sales, whether there is reasonable assurance that the liability recognized, in whole or in part, will not be repaid (since the Company will not be required to pay royalties). If there is such reasonable assurance, the appropriate amount of the liability is derecognized and recorded in profit or loss as a reduction of research and development expenses. If the estimate of future sales indicates that there is no such reasonable assurance, the appropriate amount of the liability that reflects expected future royalty payments is recognized with a corresponding adjustment to research and development expenses. Grants received after January 1, 2009, which are recognized as a liability, are accounted for as forgivable loans, in accordance with IAS 20 (Revised), pursuant to the provisions of IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments". Accordingly, when the liability for the loan is first recognized, it is measured at fair value using a discount rate that reflects a market rate of interest. The difference between the amount of the grants received and the fair value of the liability is accounted for upon recognition of the liability as a government grant and recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses. After initial recognition, the liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Changes in the projected cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate and recorded in profit or loss in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9. Royalty payments are treated as a reduction of the liability. o. Revenue recognition: As described in Note 2x regarding the initial adoption of IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("the Standard"), the Company elected to adopt the provisions of the Standard using the modified retrospective method with the application of certain practical expedients and without restatement of comparative data. The accounting policy for revenue recognition applied until December 31, 2017, is as follows: - 36 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. Revenues are recognized in profit or loss when the revenues can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. When the Company acts as a principal and is exposed to the risks associated with the transaction, revenues are presented on a gross basis. When the Company acts as an agent and is not exposed to the risks and rewards associated with the transaction, revenues are presented on a net basis. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration less any trade discounts, volume rebates and returns. Following are the specific revenue recognition criteria which must be met before revenue Revenues from software arrangements: The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of software only after the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the software have been transferred to the buyer for which a necessary condition is delivery of the software, either physically or electronically, or providing the right to use or permission to make copies of the software. The Company recognizes revenues from providing software related services. When the stage of completion cannot be determined reliably, revenues are recognized on a straight- line basis over the agreement period. Software arrangements generally contain multiple sale elements (software, integration, installation, upgrades, support, training, consultation etc.). The Company evaluates the arrangement's elements, including those delivered on a "when and if available basis", in order to determine if the elements can be separately identified. Revenue from software licensing arrangements: The Company recognizes revenue from software licensing transactions at a point in time when the Company provides the customer a right to use the Company's intellectual property as it exists at the point in time at which the license is granted to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from software licensing transactions over time when the Company provides the customer a right to access the Company's intellectual property throughout the license period. Revenues from software arrangements: The accounting policy for revenue recognition applied commencing from January 1, 2018, is as follows: The accounting policy for revenue recognition applied commencing from January 1, 2018, is as follows: Revenue recognition: Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. The transaction price is the amount of the consideration that is expected to be received based on the contract terms, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (such as taxes). - 37 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. In determining the amount of revenue from contracts with customers, the Company evaluates whether it is a principal or an agent in the arrangement. The Company is a principal when the Company controls the promised goods or services before transferring them to the customer. In these circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue for the gross amount of the consideration. When the Company is an agent, it recognizes revenue for the net amount of the consideration, after deducting the amount due to the principal. Revenue from rendering of services: Revenue from rendering of services is recognized over time, during the period the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance. Revenue is recognized in the reporting periods in which the services are rendered. 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 recognizes the resulting contract asset or liability. Revenue from customization contracts: At contract inception, the Company identifies the customization work as a performance obligation. Since the Company's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, the Company recognizes revenue over time. The Company applies a cost-based input method for measuring the progress of performance obligations that are satisfied over time. The Company believes that the use of this input method, according to which revenue is recognized based on the inputs expended by the Company for fulfilling its performance obligations, best reflects the actual revenue earned. In applying this input method, the Company estimates the costs to complete contract performance in order to determine the amount of the revenue to be recognized. These estimated costs include the direct costs and the indirect costs that are directly attributable to a contract based on a reasonable allocation method. Moreover, in measuring the percentage of completion, the Company does not consider costs that do not contribute to the progress in satisfying performance obligations, such as (costs of uninstalled materials, etc.). In certain circumstances, the Company is unable to measure the outcome of a contract, but the Company expects to recover the costs incurred in fulfilling the contract as of the reporting date. In such circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue to the extent of the costs incurred as of the reporting date until such time the outcome of the contract can be reasonably measured. If a loss is anticipated from a contract, the loss is recognized in full regardless of the percentage of completion. - 38 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) Contract balances: SIMIGON LTD. The Company charges customers as the work progresses in accordance with the contractual terms. Amounts billed are classified as trade receivables in the statement of financial position. When revenues from performance of a contract are recognized in profit or loss before the customer is charged, these amounts are recorded as contract assets/income receivable. Amounts received from customers in advance of performance by the Company are recorded as contract liabilities/deferred revenues from customers and recognized as revenue in profit or loss when the work is performed. p. Earnings per share: Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Basic earnings per share only include shares that were actually outstanding during the period. Potential Ordinary shares are only included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when their conversion decreases earnings per share or increases loss per share from continuing operations. Further, potential Ordinary shares that are converted during the period are included in diluted earnings per share only until the conversion date and from that date in basic earnings per share. The Company's share of earnings of investees is included based on the earnings per share of the investees multiplied by the number of shares held by the Company. q. Provisions: A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognized when the Company has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event and 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. If the effect is material, provisions are measured according to the estimated future cash flows discounted using a pre-tax interest rate that reflects the market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, those risks specific to the liability. Employee benefits: r. The Company's liability for severance pay pursuant to the Israel's Severance Pay Law (for those who elected not to be fully included under section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963) is based on the last monthly salary of the employee multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the date of severance. The cost of providing severance pay is determined using an independent actuary. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, are recognized immediately in the statement of financial position with a corresponding debit or credit to other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. - 39 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. Pursuant to Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, which covers 75% of most of the employees' severance pay, monthly deposits with insurance companies release the Company from any future severance obligations in respect of those employees (defined contribution). Deposits under Section 14 are recorded as an expense in the Company's statements of comprehensive income. s. Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, short-term investments, trade receivables, restricted cash, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity and high probability of repayment of such instruments. t. Share-based payment transactions: The Company applies the provisions of IFRS 2, "Share-Based Payment". IFRS 2 requires an expense to be recognized where the Company buys goods or services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ("equity-settled transactions"), or in exchange for other assets equivalent in value to a given number of shares of rights over shares ("cash-settled transactions"). The main impact of IFRS 2 on the Company is the expensing of employees' and directors' share options (equity-settled transactions). The Company's employees/other service providers are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity-settled share-based payment 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. In cases where the fair value of the goods or services received as consideration of equity instruments cannot be measured, they are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized 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 fully entitled to the award ("the vesting period"). The cumulative expense recognized 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. The expense or income recognized in profit or loss represents the change between the cumulative expense recognized at the end of the reporting period and the cumulative expense recognized at the end of the previous reporting period. - 40 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. No expense is recognized 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. u. Finance income and expenses: Finance income includes interest income on amounts invested, government grants and exchange rate gains. Finance expenses comprise interest expense on bank loan, government grants, fees and exchange rate losses. v. 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 a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements: 1. Judgments: - 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 and exercise price and judgments regarding expected volatility, expected life of share option and expected dividend yield. 2. 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. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. 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 end of the reporting period 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. - 41 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) - Chief Scientist grants: SIMIGON LTD. Government grants received from the Office of the Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor are recognized as a liability if future economic benefits are expected from the research and development activity that will result in royalty-bearing sales. There is uncertainty regarding the estimated future cash flows and the estimated discount rate used to measure the amount of the liability. As for the accounting treatment of grants received from the OCS, see also Note 13. - Deferred tax assets: Deferred tax assets are recognized 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 utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the timing and level of future taxable profits, its source and the tax planning strategy. w. Taxes on income: Current or deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to items which are recognized in other comprehensive income or equity. 1. Current taxes: The current tax liability is measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date as well as adjustments required in connection with the tax liability in respect of previous years. 2. Deferred taxes: Deferred taxes are computed in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. - 42 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is not probable that they will be utilized. Temporary differences for which deferred tax assets had not been recognized are reviewed at each reporting date and a respective deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that their utilization is probable. Taxes that would apply in the event of the disposal of investments in investees have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as long as the disposal of the investments in investees is not probable in the foreseeable future. Also, deferred taxes that would apply in the event of distribution of earnings by investees as dividends have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, since the distribution of dividends does not involve an additional tax liability or since it is the Company's policy not to initiate distribution of dividends from a subsidiary that would trigger an additional tax liability. Deferred taxes are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset a current tax asset against a current tax liability and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxpayer and the same taxation authority. x. Changes in accounting policies - initial adoption of new financial reporting and accounting standards and amendments to existing financial reporting and accounting standards: 1. Initial adoption of IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers": The IASB issued IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("the new Standard") in May 2014. The new Standard replaces IAS 18, "Revenue", IAS 11, "Construction Contracts", IFRIC 13, "Customer Loyalty Programs", IFRIC 15, "Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate", IFRIC 18, "Transfers of Assets from Customers" and SIC-31, "Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services". The new Standard introduces a five-step model that applies to revenue earned from contracts with customers: Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer, including reference to contract combination and accounting for contract modifications. Step 2: Identify the distinct performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine to variable consideration, significant financing components, non-cash consideration and any consideration payable to the customer. transaction price, including reference the Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis using observable prices, if s available, or using estimates and assessments. Step 5: Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied, either at a point in time or over time. - 43 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. The new Standard has been applied for the first time in these financial statements. The Company elected to adopt the provisions of the new Standard using the modified retrospective method with the application of certain practical expedients and without restatement of comparative data. The Company recognizes any difference between the previous carrying amount and the carrying amount on the date of initial application of the new Standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or another component of equity, as applicable). The effect of the initial application of the new Standard on the Company's financial statements was immaterial. 2. Initial adoption of IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments": In July 2014, the IASB issued the final and complete version of IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments" ("the new Standard"), which replaces IAS 39, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". The new Standard mainly focuses on the classification and measurement of financial assets and it applies to all assets within the scope of IAS 39. The new Standard has been applied for the first time in these financial statements retrospectively without restatement of comparative data. The effect of the initial adoption of the new Standard on the Company's financial statements was immaterial. y. Disclosure of new standards in the period prior to their adoption IFRS 16, "Leases" In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, "Leases" ("the new Standard"). According to the new Standard, a lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. According to the new Standard:    Lessees are required to recognize an asset and a corresponding liability in the statement of financial position in respect of all leases (except in certain cases) similar to the accounting treatment of finance leases according to the existing IAS 17, "Leases". Lessees are required to initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset. Lessees will also recognize interest and depreciation expenses separately. The new Standard includes two exceptions according to which lessees are permitted to elect to apply a method similar to the current accounting treatment for operating leases. These exceptions are leases for which the underlying asset is of low value and leases with a term of up to one year. - 44 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD.  The accounting treatment by lessors remains substantially unchanged, namely classification of a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease. The new Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company believes that the new Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. IFRIC 23, "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments": In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23, "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" ("the Interpretation"). The Interpretation clarifies the rules of recognition and measurement of assets or liabilities in accordance with the provisions of IAS 12, "Income Taxes", in situations of uncertainty involving income taxes. The Interpretation provides guidance on considering whether some tax treatments should be considered collectively, examination by the tax authorities, measurement to reflect uncertainty involving income taxes in the financial statements and accounting for changes in facts and circumstances underlying the uncertainty. The Interpretation is to be applied in financial statements for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Upon initial adoption, the Company will apply the Interpretation using one of two approaches: (i) Full retrospective adoption, without restating comparative data, by recording the cumulative effect through the date of initial adoption in the opening balance of retained earnings. (ii) Full retrospective adoption including restatement of comparative data. The Company does not expect any material impact on the financial staements.

On March 30, 2014 SimiGon's subsidiary ("the Subsidiary") entered into a Joint Venture agreement ("the Joint Venture") with a company based in China that will provide the Joint Venture with aviation services. Under the terms of the Joint Venture agreement, the Subsidiary will provide the SIMbox licenses enabling the Joint Venture to develop its own training solutions. The Subsidiary will invest $ 30 thousand in the Joint Venture representing an interest of 4% in its shares. As of the date of the approval of the financial statements as of December 31, 2018, the Joint Venture hasn't started to operate, yet. On April 20, 2016, SimiGon's subsidiary ("the Subsidiary") entered into an agreement with Team Systems International LLC (TSI) in which both parties will establish a Joint Venture for business cooperation ("the Agreement"). Under the term of the Agreement, the Subsidiary will hold 49% of the Joint Venture while TSI will hold 51%. On February 22, 2017 the Joint Venture was established under the name TSIM LLC. The Joint Venture never commenced operations and on March 7, 2019, a request of dissolution of the Joint Venture has been submitted. NOTE 12:- INCOME TAXES a. Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959: The Company has been granted an "Approved Enterprise" status for an original program and an additional expansion program, ("the programs") under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law"). According to the provisions of the Law, the Company has elected to enjoy the "alternative benefits track" - a waiver of grants in return for tax benefits. The "Approved Enterprise" status will allow the Company a tax benefit on undistributed income derived from the "Approved Enterprise" program. The income derived from this "Approved Enterprise" will be tax-exempt for a period of two years, and may enjoy a reduced tax rate of 10% to 25% (based on percentage of foreign ownership) for an additional five years. The seven-year period of benefits will commence with the first year in which the Company earns taxable income. The Company completed the implementation of its programs. The period of tax benefits, detailed above, is subject to limits of the earlier of 12 years from the commencement of production, or 14 years from receiving the approval. The period of benefits has not yet commenced. The Company expects to remain in the scope of the preferred tax regime described above until the end of 2018. The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the above Law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of approval for the specific investments in "Approved Enterprises". In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be canceled and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, including interest. - 56 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 12:- INCOME TAXES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. Should the Company derive income from sources other than the "Approved Enterprise" during the period of benefits, such income shall be taxable at the regular corporate tax rate. If tax-exempt profits derived from "Approved Enterprise" are distributed to shareholders, they would be taxed at the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if the Company had not elected the alternative system of benefits, currently between 10%-25% for an "Approved Enterprise". An amendment to the Law, which became effective in 2005 ("the Amendment") changed certain provisions of the Law. The change in the tax rate will have immaterial effects on the Company. As a result of the Amendment, a company is no longer obliged to implement an "Approved Enterprise" status in order to receive the tax benefits previously available under the alternative benefits provisions, and therefore there is no need to apply to the Investment Center for this purpose (Approved Enterprise status remains mandatory for companies seeking grants). Rather, a company may claim the tax benefits offered by the Investment Law directly in its tax returns, provided that its facilities meet the criteria for tax benefits set out by the Amendment. A company is also granted a right to approach the Israeli Tax Authorities for a pre-ruling regarding their eligibility for benefits under the Amendment. Tax benefits are available under the Amendment to production facilities (or other eligible facilities), which are generally required to derive more than 25% of the company's business income from export. In order to receive the tax benefits, the Amendment states that a company must make an investment in the benefited enterprise exceeding a minimum amount specified in the Law. Such investment may be made over a period of no more than three years ending at the end of the year in which the company requested to have the tax benefits apply to the beneficiary enterprise ("the Year of Election"). Where a company requests to have the tax benefits apply to an expansion of existing facilities, then only the expansion will be considered a benefited enterprise and the company's effective tax rate will be the result of a weighted combination of the applicable rates. In this case, the minimum investment required in order to qualify as a benefited enterprise is required to exceed a certain percentage of the company's production assets before the expansion. The duration of tax benefits is subject to a limitation of the earlier of 7 years from the Commencement Year, or 12 years from the first day of the Year of Election. Amendments to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959: In December 2010, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Policy for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011 ("the Amendment"), which prescribes, among others, amendments in the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law"). The Amendment became effective as of January 1, 2011. - 57 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 12:- INCOME TAXES (Cont.) SIMIGON LTD. According to the Amendment, the benefit tracks in the Law were modified and a flat tax rate applies to the Company's entire preferred income. Commencing from the 2011 tax year, the Company will be able to opt to apply (the waiver is non-recourse) the Amendment and from the elected tax year and onwards, it will be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15% (in development area A - 10%), 2013 - 12.5% (in development area A - 7%) and in 2014 and thereafter - 16% (in development area A - 9%). b. Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985: Results for tax purposes are measured in terms of earnings in NIS after certain adjustments for increases in the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). As explained in Note 2b, the financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The difference between the annual change in the Israeli CPI and in the NIS/dollar exchange rate causes a difference between taxable income or loss and the income or loss before taxes reflected in the financial statements. c. Carryforward losses: Domestic: As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accumulated losses for Israeli tax purposes of approximately $ 2.6 million, $ 1.9 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively, which may be carried forward, in order to offset taxable income in the future, for an indefinite period (See Note f below). Foreign: As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the federal tax loss carryforwards of the U.S. subsidiaries amounted to approximately $4.3 million, $ 5.1 million and $ 5.3 million, respectively. Such losses are available for offset against future U.S. taxable income of the subsidiaries and will expire in the years 2023-2026. As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the tax loss carryforwards of the Singaporean subsidiary amounted to approximately $87 thousand, $ 81 thousand and $ 61 thousand, respectively, which may be carried forward, in order to offset taxable income in the future, for an indefinite period. As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the tax loss carryforward of the Colombian subsidiary amounted to approximately $ 35 thousand, $38 thousand and $ 32 thousand, respectively, which may be carried forward, in order to offset taxable income in the future, for an indefinite period. As of December 31, 2018, no deferred tax assets have been recorded in respect of carryforward operating losses in due the uncertainty as to their realization. - 58 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 12:- INCOME TAXES (Cont.) d. Tax rates applicable to the income of the Company and its subsidiaries: Domestic: SIMIGON LTD. The Israeli corporate income tax rate was 24% in 2017, 25% in 2016 and 23% in 2018. In January 2016, the Law for Amending the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 216) (Reduction of Corporate Tax Rate), 2016 was approved, which includes a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 26.5% to 25%, effective from January 1, 2016. In December 2016, the Israeli Parliament approved the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for Applying the Economic Policy for the 2017 and 2018 Budget Years), 2016 which reduces the corporate income tax rate to 24% (instead of 25%) effective from January 1, 2017 and to 23% effective from January 1, 2018. The deferred tax balance as of December 31, 2016, was calculated based on the revised tax rates. The effect of the change in the tax rate on the balance of deferred taxes was immaterial. A company is taxable on its real capital gains at the corporate income tax rate in the year of sale. Foreign: The U.S. subsidiaries were incorporated in Orlando, Florida, U.S.A., and are taxed according to U.S. tax laws. The statutory federal tax rate is 35%. e. Tax assessments: The Company's tax assessments in Israel for the years until and including 2009 are considered final, subject to the powers vested with the director of the Tax Authority pursuant to sections 145, 147 and 152 to the Income Tax Ordinance. f. Tax reconciliation: In 2018, the main reconciling item between the tax benefit assuming loss before taxes was taxed at the statutory tax rate of the Company, and the tax expense recorded in profit or loss is the derecognition of prior years' deferred tax benefits due to the uncertainty as to their realization. In 2017, the main reconciling item is carryforward tax losses for which no deferred taxes were provided. In 2016, the income tax benefit recorded in profit or loss is due to the recognition of carryforward losses which were not recognized in prior years - see item c. above. - 59 - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 13:- OTHER LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS a. Royalty commitments: SIMIGON LTD. 1. In June 2001, the Company and a third party signed a Cooperation and Project Funding Agreement with Britech, which is an establishment of the United Kingdom-Israel Industrial Research and Development Fund. According to the agreement, Britech agreed to fund, by conditional grant, the implementation of the proposal submitted by the Company and the third party for a research and development project in the maximum amount of £ 227 thousand. The Company shall make repayments to Britech, based on gross sales derived from the sale, leasing or other marketing or commercial exploitation of the innovation, including service or maintenance contracts, commencing with the first commercial transaction.

The Company received a total amount of $ 324 thousand, of which $ 150 thousand and $ 174 thousand were deducted from the research and development expenses in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Although the development of technology had been completed by the third party and the Company, the Company has never received the third party's portion of the developed technology upon completion of the project although it requested it from both the third party and Britech. Therefore, since the Company cannot utilize the developed technology without the essential portion developed by the third party, the Company has not paid any royalties to Britech and the Company's management believes that it will not be required to pay royalties in the future for the abovementioned project. In addition, the Company did not submit any patent applications in connection with the Britech grant. 2.
