Commenting on the results, S. Brian Mukherjee, CEO of RhythmOne, said:
“The fundamental re-structuring of our business that we set in motion over two years ago is now
complete. We are delighted to report the achievement of our objectives for the year, marking a
dramatic shift in the revenue, product and cost profile of the Company. Driven by programmatic
growth, Core products now represent 85% of total revenues1, compared with 70% in FY2016.
During the Period, the Company took critical steps to definitively exit all remaining Non-Core
product lines that are no longer considered strategic to future growth. The exit of Non-Core
products is expected to eliminate the volatility associated with falling and unpredictable revenue
streams and, on a go forward basis, aligns Company resources and initiatives with dominant
industry growth trends.
RhythmOne has grown into a significant, recognized digital advertising platform with massive
scale, cutting edge technology and quality, differentiated supply. Based on current revenue
dynamics, we expect our unified programmatic platform, RhythmMax, to be the principal driver
of future Company growth. The platform now ranks #1 internationally and #2 in the US in quality
according to Pixalate, Inc. and #5 in volume according to comScore, Inc. We are proud to have
built and scaled what we believe is an industry-leading platform.
The significant steps we took in FY2017 to realign the business around our Core capabilities and
achieve operational efficiency have set the stage for higher quality topline growth and continued
profitability5 in the coming Financial Year. In the Company’s audited FY2017 financial
statements, Core revenue is revenue from Continuing Operations, while Non-Core revenue is
revenue from Discontinued Operations. The Company anticipates FY2018 to be a period of
continued expansion, through both organic efforts and scale acquisitions, as opportunities to
consolidate the industry proliferate.”
Notes:
1. Total revenue is revenue from Core and Non-Core product lines. It comprises revenue
recognized within both Continuing and Discontinued Operations.
2. Core revenue is revenue recognized within Continuing Operations in the audited financial
statements.
3. Non-Core revenue is revenue recognized within Discontinued Operations in the audited
financial statements.
4. This press release contains references to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Loss for the Period
attributable to equity holders of theparent. These financial measures do not have any
standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP

measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit/(loss) for the year
before finance income and expense, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, share based
payment expense and exceptional costs. Management believes that this measure is a useful
supplemental metric as it provides an indicationof the results generated by the Company’s
principal trading activities prior to consideration of how the results are impacted by non-
recurring costs, how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions, or how the results are
affected by the accounting standards associated with the Group’s share based payment

Overview
RhythmOne’s operating objective for FY2017 was sustainable growth and a return to underlying
profitability5, accomplished through a fundamental restructuring of the Company’s product
portfolio. Over the past two years, RhythmOne continued to invest in its Core strategic
capabilities of mobile, video and programmatic trading. Concurrently, the Company fully exited
Non-Core product lines that no longer are considered strategic to future growth. Importantly, the
measured approach RhythmOne has taken to managing a reduction in the Non-Core cost basis
ensures a neutral to net positive impact on expected future growth and profitability5.
Performance in FY2017 was led by strong growth in Core revenues and, in particular,
programmatic trading. In FY2017, the Company showed a return to underlying profitability5,
delivering approximately $1.4M in adjusted EBITDA4. The performance in the second half of the
year was particularly strong, with H22017 delivering approximately $3.9M in adjusted EBITDA4,
offsetting the adjusted EBITDA4 loss of ($2.5M) in H12017. This performance was fueled by the
rapid expansion of the Company’s unified programmatic platform, RhythmMax. Programmatic
revenues constitute the majority of Core revenues, which experienced an 87% increase in
opportunity volume year-on-year. In addition, the Company integrated Perk Inc.’s mobile and
web inventory into the RhythmMax platform, further driving programmatic revenue growth.
The Company’s product investments during the Period were fully aligned with key industry
growth vectors. Programmatic trading is now well established as the primary buying mechanism
for digital advertising. Over 78% of digital display ad spend will be executed through
programmatic channels in 2017, including $24B for mobile and $9B for video in 2017, according
to eMarketer. This number is anticipated to grow to over 84% of spend by 2019 and the allocation
of spend to mobile and video is projected to show a continued bias toward mobile and video in
the future. The programmatic growth trend points to a significant shift in how online advertising
is being bought and sold. No longer are advertisers buying ads on specific websites as a proxy for
audience segments; rather, they are buying actual audiences, across connected devices and ad
formats, based on measurable data and in real time.
5
These fundamental shifts are ushering the “second coming of ad tech”. Within its Core focus, the
Company has identified two key areas of investment and differentiation in order to drive ongoing
growth within this new landscape that include:
1) Unified Programmatic Advertising Platform; and
2) Unique, Quality, Engaged Audiences at Scale
1) Unified Programmatic Advertising Platform
In FY2017, RhythmOne completed its unified, multi-channel, multi-format platform to access the
Company’s owned, controlled and extended advertising inventory. Since inception, the
RhythmMax platform has consistently maintained one of the largest supply footprints in the
industry, ranking as the #5 US platform by comScore as at February 2017 and #8 by Quantcast,
as at March 2017 – making it one of the dominant ad tech platforms in the industry to access
quality, cross-device, multi-format advertising inventory. A majority of the Company’s supply
sources is now aggregated and accessible through RhythmMax, providing advertisers with a
complete and turnkey solution.
Moreover, the platform continues to meet and exceed performance benchmarks relative to
volume, fill rate and pricing. Through RhythmMax, the Company has unified the entire supply
side of the value chain, streamlining interactions between advertisers and consumers, and
enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of online advertising campaigns.
During the Period, RhythmOne integrated its platform with almost 50 industry-leading
programmatic supply and demand partners, including marquee names such as AppNexus,
Drawbridge and Opera Mediaworks. Demand-side integrations also continued to ramp, including
expansion into 15 new international markets. Simultaneously, RhythmOne attracted new and
repeat advertisers, such as Honda, Nestle, Marzetti, Ford, Chipotle, McDonalds, US Air Force,
Dropbox, Square Inc., Delta Faucets, Ocean Spray, Vistaprint, Maui Jim, JetBlue, Whole Foods,
Exxon Mobile, Autozone, ADP, Black & Decker and Capella University.
During FY2017, the Company continuously enhanced its proprietary brand safety filtering
technology, RhythmGuard, which eliminates suspicious and underperforming traffic before it
reaches the marketplace – improving ROI for advertisers and maximizing yield for quality
publisher partners. According to a study released by the Association of National Advertisers
(“ANA”) in 2016, ad fraud is costing the US marketing and media industry an estimated $7.2
billion each year. An important area of innovation – RhythmOne took steps to package its supply
based upon guaranteed KPIs that align with advertisers’ campaign objectives. In this regard, the
Company has developed private marketplace offerings guaranteeing viewable, verified inventory
in order to drive premium demand.
6
Complementing its RhythmGuard brand safety initiative, RhythmOne also partnered with leading
viewability and verification vendors, including White Ops, Integral Ad Science, DoubleVerify,
Moat and Pixalate, whom the Company believes will be instrumental in helping to establish
common standards for the industry. RhythmOne has contributed to shaping these standards
through its work with OpenVV.org, membership in the Interactive Advertising Bureau (“IAB”)
and participation in the Trustworthy Accountability Group (“TAG”) initiative. Equally, on the
Demand side, the Company further enhanced its creative scanning and ad verification processes
through integration with The Media Trust and RisqIQ, the two leading ad quality vendors.
Complementing the significant scale, scope and reach of RhythmMax, brand safety has become
one of the fundamental tenets of the platform. RhythmOne remains committed to providing the
highest levels of quality assurance to its advertising partners as it seeks to maximize the return on
digital advertising spend.
2) Unique Quality, Engaged Audiences at Scale
In addition to platform investments in RhythmMax, the Company sought to distinguish its supply
footprint by offering unique owned, controlled and first-look audiences that are compelling to
advertisers and brands. One of the key accomplishments in FY2017 in support of the audience
initiative, was the acquisition Perk Inc. a mobile-first supply side rewards, engagement and
content platform, in an all-stock transaction. During Q4, the Company integrated Perk’s cross-
device, owned and operated inventory into RhythmOne’s unified programmatic platform,
enhancing the quality and quantity of brand and performance-focused supply, and helping to
further differentiate RhythmOne from other ad tech providers. Perk Inc. joins RhythmOne’s other
owned and operated properties, including All Music, SideReel and Celebified, which collectively
serve as a critical beta platform to enhance quality and targeting algorithms for the Company’s
controlled and extended supply.
The Company also continued to develop several new tools and services to attract and retain
quality, high-value publisher partners. Header bidding is one such tool. Also known as pre-
bidding, header bidding is an increasingly popular programmatic technique that allows publishers
to offer their inventory in advance to select partners, before putting it up for general auction
through the ad server. By letting multiple, higher value demand sources bid on the same
inventory at the same time instead of through a waterfall structure, publishers theoretically are
able to increase their yield and better monetize their content. The Company has developed a
header bidding solution that allows publishers to make RhythmOne one of their select demand
partners, and plans to continue innovating in this area to offer video header bidding, and custom,
server-to-server connections – improving the performance and profit potential of its header bidder
solution.
Another pioneering initiative designed to enhance the experience for RhythmOne publishers is
called Support Free Content. This initiative arose out of the need to recapture revenues lost due to
ad blocking. Support Free Content helps publishers address ad blocking by offering consumers
choice – gating their access to publisher content via a set of monetization options that range from
subscription, to white listing within their ad-blocker, to downloading a browser extension that
provides alternative avenues for monetization.
Finally, the Company’s Advanced Creative Platform (ACP) allows for fast and easy development
and production of highly customized video, rich media and native ad units. This scalable
platform supports the latest industry standards (VAST, VPAID, and MRAID), and allows the
Company to address increasing advertiser demands for transparent viewability and engagement
metrics. As programmatic adoption continues to grow, RhythmOne believes that the ability to
offer bespoke, high impact creative units within its platform, will be a key differentiator – and
another proxy for unique inventory.

Market
According to eMarketer, online advertising continued to demonstrate strong growth in 2016, a
trend that is expected to extend into 2017 and beyond. Today, worldwide digital ad spend
accounts for 38% of total media ad spend, or approximately $224B of over $591B in total – and
is projected to grow at a 15% CAGR over five years (2016-2020). This represents nearly 6 times
the rate of population growth and exceeds the growth rate of virtually any other industry. By
2020, worldwide digital ad spend is expected to ramp significantly to $330B, which would equate
to almost half (46%) of total media ad spend of over $724B.
Programmatic trading, or the automated buying, selling and fulfillment of ads using technology,
is now the most common buying modality for display, mobile and video advertising. In the US,
eMarketer estimates that programmatic display ad spend will reach $33B in 2017. This is
projected to include $24B for mobile and $9B for video. Programmatic ad spending on mobile
was more than twice the size of programmatic ad spending on desktop in 2016 ($18B vs. $7B), a
ratio that is in-line with the overall state of the US digital ad industry. Moreover, video ads sold
programmatically totaled approximately $6B in 2016, representing 60% of digital video spend
overall. By 2019, that number is expected to climb to $13B and a 77% share.
Key sector trends of note include:
1. The majority of US digital display ad dollars (78%, $33B) will be spent through
programmatic channels in 2017, and that share is expected to rise (84%, $46B) by 2019. Much
of this growth is led by programmatic spend on mobile and video advertising. In 2016, mobile
programmatic accounted for 75% of all mobile display ad spending. For video, 2016 marked the
first year in which more than half of US digital video advertising was sold programmatically –
accounting for 60% of total video ad spend. Within programmatic trading, there is a distinct and
growing trend around “Direct” or “Private Marketplace” transactions, where advertisers can
access select pockets of inventory for fixed premiums.
2. An overwhelming majority of Internet users consumes video. In the US, nearly two-thirds
of the population views digital video. Concurrent with increased consumption, video advertising
spend is projected to increase at 17% CAGR over the next five years. According to eMarketer,
advertisers will spend $13 billion on video this year and that figure is projected to increase
significantly by 2020, reaching an estimated $20 billion.
3. Smartphone and tablet use is surging – and advertising dollars are following suit. In 2017,
81% of US Internet users use a smartphone and 61% use a tablet. In line with this trend, mobile
advertising spending in 2017 is expected to outpace desktop/laptop spending by $34 billion.
Within mobile, video ad spending is projected to reach nearly $6.0 billion in 2017 (over 10% of
total mobile spending).
4. Ad blocking in the US continues to be a concern for online advertisers. As at June, 2016 in
the US, approximately 26% of people use ad blockers. The estimated impact of this trend on
publishers is a potential revenue loss of between 10% and 50%. Publishers are employing a
number of tactics to preserve monetization – serving more “native” ads that are delivered directly
from publishers’ content management systems so that they are harder to block, installing anti-ad
blocking software and enabling pay walls to access content. Currently, the impact of ad blocking
on RhythmOne’s business has been minimal, since the Company only counts unblocked
inventory in its opportunity set. However, ad blocking does highlight a larger trend – the need to
establish a sustainable value exchange equation that is respectful of consumer choice, impactful
for the advertiser, sustainable for the publisher and effective at scale, which makes the
Company’s investments in unique supply and publisher tools even more critical.
8
5. Ad fraud, viewability and verification continue to be top-of-mind for advertisers. The
industry has taken critical steps to monitor internally and self-correct this issue. According to the
ANA, ad fraud will cost $7.2B in 2016, up nearly $1B since 2015. Creating an environment for
clean, trustworthy transactions is an industry imperative both for the supply and demand sides of
the value chain. The Company’s proprietary RhythmGuard brand safety technology has been a
significant and differentiating asset, helping to ramp existing Demand sources and onboard new
partners during the Period.
6. Another noteworthy trend is the rise of influencer and native advertising. Both of these
advertising segments allow for brands to authentically connect with consumers, either through
their social channels and communities, or as a more integrated part of the web experience. In
2017, native ad spending is anticipated to reach $22B, with the majority of that ($19B) occurring
through mobile devices. There is also a significant opportunity to realize economies of scale by
delivering these types of advertising programs programmatically. RhythmOne launched its
RhythmInfluence offering during the Period, allowing the Company to participate in the growing
spend associated with this channel. This offering taps into the Company’s programmatic
inventory for increased scale and efficiency.
7. Proprietary data segmentation is driving efficient audience targeting. The ability to marry
third-party segments with a brand’s first party data is one of the ways advertising technology
platforms are seeking to differentiate themselves. According to the IAB, the number one topic
that will command the lion’s share of marketers’ attention in 2017 is cross-channel measurement
and attribution. One of the key benefits that RhythmOne provides is the ability to leverage data
across its significant supply footprint, including data about viewability and verification across
industries. The Company is looking to package this data as part of direct or private marketplace
deals, providing a turnkey method for advertisers to access precisely targeted, performance-
driving audiences.
8. The opportunity is global. Total worldwide digital ad spend is set to grow to $234B in 2017.
Of that, 40% is being spent in the US ($83B). This leaves a significant opportunity for growth
internationally, especially via programmatic advertising. This growth trajectory aligns with
RhythmOne’s plans to expand its programmatic offering. The Company launched the platform in
15 new international markets during the Period, with plans to add additional EU and APAC
markets in FY2018.
9. Industry consolidation continues to increase with the “Second Coming of Ad Tech.”
Figures released by Ad Ops Insider reveal there were over 185 significant M&A transactions in
the Media space from January-December 2016, with values ranging from $10M to $26B –
including such large deals as AT&T (Time Warner), with Microsoft (LinkedIn) and Verizon
(AOL and Yahoo!) being the most notable within the ad tech subsector. Industry consolidation
represents a potential path to scale quickly. As parts of the ecosystem combine and the value
chain is streamlined, there will be opportunities to augment the Company’s ad tech platform and
audience offering. One such opportunity arose in FY2017 which resulted in the acquisition of
Perk Inc., a mobile-first supply side rewards and engagement platform. By integrating Perk’s
mobile apps and websites into its unified programmatic platform, the Company can offer
additional quality, engaged audiences to advertisers – a significant differentiator. The Company
will continue to consider such strategic opportunities as it looks to expand and deepen its demand
and supply base, and strengthen its technology offering.
9
Technology & Products
Throughout the Period, RhythmOne continued to invest in products, platforms, research and
development, with a focus on enhancing and expanding the Company’s programmatic trading
capabilities. The Company also invested in products and services to attract high-quality
publishers – including its header bidder product as well as its Support Free Content monetization
solution.
RhythmMax now provides a centralized platform to access cross-device, cross-format
RhythmOne inventory across owned, controlled and extended supply sources. It also provides
advertisers with flexibility in how they purchase, whether through traditional direct deals, private
“walled garden” marketplaces with closed site lists, or via auction-based mechanisms – all of
which use the OpenRTB (Real-Time Bidding) protocol. Through RhythmMax, advertisers can
reach target audiences to achieve measurable ROI at their desired spend level through a single
entry point.
To support this growth, RhythmOne has updated its international data centers and increased
capacity (server and network) across its infrastructure. These integrations let agencies and brands
access RhythmOne’s global inventory on-demand. With programmatic trading gaining in
prominence, RhythmOne’s unified platform allows the Company to represent its inventory
through automated trading channels in a highly efficient manner, at scale. However, the average
fill rate of 0.41% during the period means that less than one half of one percent of this supply was
monetized – representing a massive, captive and known growth opportunity, as additional
demand integrations are completed. Importantly, high-value ad formats such as video, rich media
and native, remain to be fully integrated and scaled, which could materially increase both fill rate
and price.
RhythmOne also made critical enhancements to its RhythmGuard technology, including the
development of automated creative scanning, ad quality verification processes and additional
algorithms to measure the quality of video advertising. These protections help to increase
transparency around supply and demand quality. The result is a highly differentiated marketplace
proposition that allows the Company to enrich inventory made available to advertisers through its
programmatic channels, and drive greater demand. Through RhythmMax, the Company can
provide one of the cleanest sources of pre-filtered, verified and targetable inventory in the
industry, at scale. These capabilities make the platform strategically important to key ecosystem
partners, including Mobile and Cable Carriers, Web, Video and App Developers, Content
Publishers, Trading Desks, Agencies and Marketers. The Company ended FY2017 ranked #1
internationally and #2 in the US on Pixalate’s Trusted Seller Index, featuring in the top 2% of
industry peers globally.
On the supply side, RhythmOne developed several tools designed to attract and retain high-
quality publisher and app developer partners. Specifically, the Company built and released header
bidder functionality, which helps advertisers better monetize their inventory. The Company
intends to continue to improve this functionality as it works with its publisher partners, and
develop functionality for video header bidding, as well as server-to-server integrations. In
addition, as part of the Company’s Support Free Content initiative, RhythmOne built a tool that
helps publishers address ad blocking by offering consumers choice – gating their access to
publisher content via a tree of monetization options. In addition, the Company released a new
version of its software development kit (SDK) for mobile app developers, allowing for easier
installation and campaign management, as well as deeper reporting features. The SDK supports
all standard video and rich media ad units and includes emerging viewability standards for both
display and video.
10
Finally, RhythmOne also made enhancements to its Advanced Creative Platform (ACP), a self-
serve utility that allows demand partners to dynamically build custom rich media ads. ACP
allows for fast and easy development and production of highly customized video, rich media and
native ad units. The platform supports the latest industry standards (VAST, VPAID, and
MRAID), and allows the Company to meet advertiser demands for viewability data and detailed
engagement metrics. ACP is expected to drive parallel revenue streams – a modest software-as-a-
service (SaaS) revenue from demand partners that access the tool independently for ad
production, and greater incremental media fees for advertisers that use the tool as a value-add
platform within the RhythmOne programmatic marketplace.
These developments represent a significant step forward as the Company bundles its products and
technology to better serve advertisers and publishers in a competitive and challenging
marketplace, and continues to invest in capacity to drive future growth.
Integration and Operating Discipline
In line with its recent integration initiatives, the Company has fully integrated Perk Inc. into
RhythmOne. The Company reduced its cumulative headcount to 320 from a peak of 360 directly
following the acquisition. The Company continued to build a highly efficient and scalable
programmatic trading platform, which was the principal driver of Core growth during the Period.
Within Core, opportunity volume increased to over 20 trillion requests for the Period with limited
capital investment.
Board Changes During the Period, RhythmOne made a key change to its Board of Directors. Mr. Edward (“Ted”)
Hastings joined the Board as an Executive Director, bringing over 15 years’ experience in
building successful software, Internet and digital media companies.
Financial Results During the Period, total revenue
1 was $175.4M, compared with $166.7M for FY2016. The
Company saw strong growth in its Core revenue, increasing 28% year-on-year to $149.0M. This
has been reported within Continuing Operations on the consolidated Income Statement. Non-Core
revenue was $26.4M and has been reported within Discontinued Operations. The related
businesses lines were either sold or exited as of 31 March 2017. Cost of revenue relating to Continuing Operations increased to $98.5M in the current year,
compared with $72.7M for the year ended 31 March 2016. This cost consists primarily of traffic
acquisition and content partner charges that are directly attributable to revenue generated by the
Company. During the year, the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased due to a shift
in product mix towards higher volume but lower margin products, which was in line with
management expectations. The product mix shift supports management initiatives to transition
more revenue toward programmatic trading, which will benefit from scale. Operating expenses from Continuing Operations before exceptional cost decreased from $73.4M
to $60.6M for the year ended 31 March 2017, and represented 41% of revenue (2016: 63%). The
Company expects operating expenses as a percent of revenue from Continuing Operations to
continue to decline with the ongoing investment in its programmatic trading platform, and to
continue to maintain strong financial discipline. The net loss for the year before income tax and before exceptional costs was $9.6M, down
significantly from $30.0M in the prior year. The net loss for the year after exceptional costs was
11
$18.8M compared with $92.3M – which included an impairment charge – the prior year. This
was driven by Core revenue growth, tight operating cost management and significant impairment
losses in FY16. Exceptional costs for the year were $9.2M, of which $3.9M were related to Discontinued
Operations and $5.2M related to Continuing Operations, comprised largely of potential
acquisitions, restructuring and severance charges related to the Perk Inc. acquisition. Prior year
exceptional costs were $65.3M and largely comprised of impairment to goodwill and intangible
assets. At 31 March 2017 the Group had no impairment, with the assessment of goodwill and
intangible assets due to the improved performance of the Group. Management believes adjusted EBITDA
4 provides a better gauge of underlying profitability
5 and
saw an increase of almost $12M year-on-year, ending at $1.4M for FY2017. This improvement
was driven by second half growth with H22017 adjusted EBITDA4 at $3.9M versus ($3.6M)
adjusted EBITDA4 in H2 2016, an improvement of $7.5M.
The Group has maintained a strong balance sheet and liquidity position with cash and cash
equivalents, and marketable securities of $75.2M at 31 March 2017 compared with $78.5M at 31
March 2016, a decrease of $3.3M during the Period. Operating cash flows before movements in
working capital were ($3.8M) compared with ($13.3M) the year prior. Net change in working
capital was lower at ($6.6M) compared with ($10.4M) the prior year. The net change in working
capital was driven by the acquisition of Perk Inc. in fiscal Q4 and the strong revenue growth in
fiscal H22017. The balance sheet remains strong with continued disciplined cash management
and improved product mix. The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the Group remain largely unchanged since those
disclosed in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2016, with the notable additions of
spend concentration among a small number of large, well-established constituents, and
heightened possibility that branded content will appear alongside objectionable or inaccurate
(fake) content.
Outlook
The Company anticipates continued revenue growth throughout Financial Year 2018, led by its
programmatic capabilities. Specifically, RhythmMax is expected to be the primary engine for
growth, facilitating the delivery of targeted, quality audiences, across devices and formats, at
scale – globally. The industry is fast culminating in the “second coming of ad tech”, characterized
by fewer, dominant, better integrated players that are able to deliver sustainable value to both
demand and supply sides of the value chain. The Company now has the unique combination of
technology, talent and relationships in place to scale both organic and inorganic growth as the
industry continues to evolve and consolidate.
In addition to organic growth, the Company also is assessing a number of strategic M&A
opportunities across demand, audience, data science and performance segments of the ecosystem,
as a means to fortify its programmatic base, and augment its scale, financial performance and
long-term competitiveness. Based on diversified growth drivers, RhythmOne enters FY2018 in a
confident position, with a product portfolio that is well aligned with industry growth trends.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
This consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with the EU adopted
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), IFRS Interpretations Committee and
those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The
accounting policies adopted are consistent with those described in the Annual Report and
Accounts 2016 which have not changed. The financial information set out in this document
does not constitute statutory accounts for the years ended 31 March 2016 or 31 March 2017
but is derived from the Annual Report and Accounts 2017. The Annual Report and Accounts
for 2016 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and the Annual Report and
Accounts for 2017 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in due course. The
auditors have reported on those accounts and have given an unqualified report which does not
contain a statement under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Full financial
statements that comply with IFRSs are included in the Annual Report and Accounts 2017
which will be made available to shareholders in due course.
The Directors have considered the financial resources of the Group and the risks associated
with doing business in the current economic environment and believe that the Group is well
placed to manage these risks successfully. In doing this, the Board has prepared a business
plan and cash flow forecast setting out key business assumptions, including the rate of
revenue growth, discount rate, terminal growth rate and cost control. The Directors have
considered these assumptions to be reasonable and that the Group has adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being a period of no less than 12
months from the date of this announcement. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
2. Share-based payments
Included within operating costs are share based payments for the year ended 31 March 2017
was $2.0m (2016: $4.4m).
3. Taxation
The tax credit from Continued Operations for the year ended 31 March 2017 was $0.9M
(2016: tax credit $1.7M).

4. Earnings per share

5. Goodwill
During the period, RhythmOne consolidated certain product, infrastructure, sales and
marketing efforts under its trade name, RhythmOne. The Adkarma CGU was consolidated
with RhythmOne resulting in the goodwill associated with AdKarma being reclassified to the
RhythmOne CGU.
The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those regarding the discount rates,
revenue growth rates and terminal growth rate. The Group prepares cash flow forecasts
derived from the most recent financial budgets approved by management for the next five
years and extrapolates cash flows into perpetuity using a terminal growth rate. The cash flow
forecasts were prepared using an average revenue growth rate of 6% per year for RhythmOne
and 4.7% per year for Perk and an average expense decrease in the rate of 1.7% for
RhythmOne and 3.8% for Perk respectively. The cash flows beyond the five year period are
extrapolated into perpetuity using a terminal growth rate of 2% (2016: 2%). This rate is based
on an estimated long-term growth rate for the industry and countries in which RhythmOne
operates, and does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant markets
based on the historical Consumer Price Index in the United States. The assumptions for
growth rates are based on past experience of each CGU’s trading performance and are
consistent with industry analyst expectations. The assumptions used differ between CGU’s,
reflecting the differences in products, customers and suppliers between each CGU.
The pre-tax rate used to discount the forecast cash flows is 21.6% (2016: 19%) for all CGUs.
Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGUs.
No reasonable changes in assumptions would lead to an impairment of the goodwill.

shares transferred as consideration is taken to the merger reserve.

10. Discontinued Operations
On March 31, 2017, the Company discontinued its Non-Core business operations. This included ceasing the operations of its consumer business
activities and the sale of certain assets and specific liabilities of Prime Visibility Media Group (“PVMG”). The results of these operations are
presented as Discontinued Operations in the Group’s Income Statement. The comparatives have been restated to show the Discontinued Operations
separately from the Continued Operations. Management committed to a plan to discontinue Non-Core operations and sell certain assets and specific
liabilities of PVMG and the disposals were finalized on March 31, 2017. Results of the Discontinued Operations for the periods presented are as
