Report of the Board of Directors on the State of Corporate Affairs

For the Period Ending December 31 2023

The Board of Directors of Mivne Real Estate (K.D.) is honored to submit the Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Company") for the period ending December 31 2023 ("The Reported Period").

Business Environment

Description of the Company and its Business Environment

The company has two main areas of activity as of the reported date:

    1. The field of cash-generating properties within this framework the Company engages, by itself and through its investees, in varied real estate activity centering on Israel. For further details see Section 1.2 of the Report on Corporate Business. The Company (including associates) owns some 1,944,000 m² of cash-generating space, of which 1,646,000 m² is in Israel.
    1. Residential real estate development field the Company is active in the development of residential real estate in Israel including locating, initiating, planning, developing, building, marketing and selling residential construction in Israel. The Company has land reserves and unused rights to the amount of 769,000 m² and property under construction and planning to the amount of 824,000 m².

On October 7 2023 the State of Israel was attacked by the Hamas terrorist organization in a brutal and murderous surprise attack. The attack from the Gaza Strip involved missiles fired and thousands of terrorists invading Israeli territory, taking the lives of over a thousand soldiers, civilians and foreigners. In addition, hundreds of people were kidnapped into the Gaza Strip. These events were a major shock, both in social terms and in economic terms. Even before the war broke out, over the course of the year the Israeli economy had been dealing with rising inflation, high interest rates, a credit crunch and a slowdown in the real estate market and in particular in the high tech market, the economy's growth engine.

Over the course of the year, inflation rates in Israel grew more moderate and reached a rate of 3.3% compared to 5.3% in 2022. As part of the attempts to lower inflation rates, the Bank of Israel led a process of raising interest rates after years of zero interest in the economy, so that starting May 2023 interest rates increased to 4.75% and remained at that level until the end of the year. In the interest decisions from January and February 2024, the Bank of Israel decided to lower interest rates to a rate of 4.5%. In its revised forecast, the Bank of Israel estimates that interest rates in the fourth quarter of 2024 are expected to be 3.75% or 4%. In this context, note that the fair value of the Company's assets was determined, among other things, by use of capitalization rates for future cash flows in its properties including exposure to changes in capitalization rates, which are influenced among other things by long-term interest rates. Note also that the margin between the weighted capitalization rate and the weighted debt cost, and the Company's current marginal raising date is high.

The Bank of Israel also estimates that over the course of 2024 the inflation rate is expected to be 2.4%. The projection is based on the assumption that the war will mainly focus on the single front against the terrorist organizations in Gaza, and its implications will continue into 2024 with reduced intensity. Various developments – which will impact the duration and scope of the war – will naturally have a material impact on economic activities in practice. In particular, the war's expansion to the northern arena, which according to estimates will be more complex than in the south, is expected to have a more severe economic impact. This expansion is expected to cause additional harm to growth, and for a certain amount of time also to disruptions in the option of maintaining routine economic activity, and as a result may disrupt market stability again and lead to pressure to increase inflation rates.

The increase in CPI has led to an increase in the Company's financing costs. Against this, the Company's cash-generating property in Israel, the current value of which is 11.6 billion NIS, is mostly rented in CPI-linked rental agreements, and the Company sees this as long-term inflationary protection. As a result, the increase in CPI has led to an increase in the Company's revenues from building rentals and an increase in the fair value of properties.

In early February 2023 rating company Moody's lowered the State of Israel's credit rating to A2 Negative Outlook, in light of the risk of the fighting expanding to the north and expanding the fighting in Gaza, which significantly increase the geopolitical risks in the State of Israel and hurt the State's fiscal fortitude in the foreseeable future. For further details on the economic environment and the impact of external factors on Mivne's activity see Section 1.7 in Chapter A (Report on the Corporation's Business) in this report.

As of the date of this report, in light of the fact that it is a dynamic event characterized by a great deal of uncertainty, and based on the assumptions the Bank of Israel relies on in its forecasts according to which the direct economic impact of the war peaked in the fourth quarter of 2023, and that the war will continue but at a decreasing intensity and will continue to focus mainly on the southern front, Company Management predicts that the impact of the war on the Company's activity or on its monetary results will not be material. Company Management estimates, taking a long-term view, that in light of the broad geographic and segment distribution of the Company's assets, their positioning, their location and their occupancy rates, as well as in light of its financial fortitude, which is expressed, among other things, in high balances of cash and cash equivalents in its possession, the debt's average life span, and the fact that assets to the scope of 8 billion NIS are not encumbered, the exposure of the Company's business to the crisis and/or to significant instability decreases and it possesses tools that will allow it to deal properly with an economic crisis. At the same time, the Company estimates that the continuation of the conflict for an extended period of time and/or a full conflict on the northern front (or additional fronts) are expected to lead to significant and broader damage to the economy, which will include deepening the harm to private consumption and businesses, including Company tenants, and as a result will lead to a drop in redemptions and changes in additional economic parameters. In addition, in such a state of continued warfare, a shortage may be created in personnel at the Company's construction sites or halts in activity for safety reasons, which may lead to delays in the timetables of competing development projects. As of the publication of this report, no significant delays are expected in projects under development as a result of the war.

We emphasize that the Company cannot estimate the future impact, if any, of all of the above factors, on the real estate industry in Israel in general, and on the Company's activity in particular. The Company estimates that its financial robustness, diversification and the state of its assets, along with its cash balances and current cash flows it generates, would allow it to further meet its current and expected obligations, including financial covenants set forth in financing agreements and Deeds of Trust for Company debentures.

The assessments and forecasts presented in this section above, constitute forwardlooking information as defined in the Securities Law, 1968.

NOI NET OPERATING INCOME

The following is information on the Group's NOI (profit from the rental and operation of properties, less depreciation and amortization) in Israel:

Company management believes that NOI is an important parameter in valuing cashgenerating real estate. The result of dividing this Transition data by the commonly used discount rate in the geographic location of the property ("cap rate") is one of the indications of valuation of the property (beyond other indications, such as: market value of similar properties in the same area, sales price per m² of built area deriving from the latest transactions effected, etc.). In addition, NOI is used to measure the free cash flow available to service the financial debt taken to finance the property's purchase. We emphasize that the NOI:

    1. Does not present cash flows from regular activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting rules.
    1. Does not reflect cash available for the financing of the Group's entire cash flows, including its ability to distribute monies.
    1. Cannot be considered a replacement for reported net profit for purposes of evaluating the results of the Group's activities.

FFO Funds From Operations

FFO is a commonly used American, Canadian and European index used to provide additional knowledge on the results of the operations of cash-generating real estate companies, granting a proper basis for comparisons between cash-generating real estate companies. This index is not required by accounting rules. FFO, as defined, expresses net reported profit, less profits (or losses) from the sale of assets, less depreciation and amortization (for real estate) after neutralizing deferred taxes, losses from the early redemption of loans and non-cash flow expenses.

The Company believes that analysts, investors and shareholders may receive information with added value from the measurement of the results of the Company's activity on an FFO basis. The FFO index is used, among other things, by analysts in order to examine the dividend distribution rate from the operating results according to the FFO of real estate companies.

We emphasize that the FFO –

  • 1. Does not present cash flows from regular activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting rules.
  • 2. Does not reflect cash held by the Company and its ability to distribute it;
  • 3. Cannot be considered a replacement for reported net profit for purposes of evaluating the Group's operating results.

The increase in real FFO in 2023 compared to 2022 mainly derives from an increase in the NOI.

* The change in the Consumer Price Index rate has an impact on current tax expenses. In the event of an increase/decrease in the Consumer Price Index, an increase/decrease occurs in financing expenses due to a CPI-linked debt, which causes a decrease/increase in provisions to current taxes.

2024 Forecast

Below is the forecast for FFO from rental properties and NOI forecast for 2024:

The Company's forecast for its key operating results in 2024, based on the following working assumptions:

  • Known CPI as of December 31 2023.
  • Without the purchase of new properties and sale of properties as of the report date.
  • No material changes will occur in the business environment in which the Company is active in Israel beyond that stated in the "general environment" item in the Report on Corporate Business.
  • Company Management expects that most of the rental agreements expiring over the course of 2024 will be renewed.
  • Company management estimates that assuming that the Iron Swords War continues at its current intensity, the war's impact on the Company's business is not material.
  • Increase in Consumer Price Index at a yearly rate of 2.5%.

a total value of 1.13 billion NIS.
Over the course of the fourth quarter, the
company recorded a decrease in the value of

Israel to a total value of 192 million NIS, mainly
as a result of the valuation loss of 3 of its
properties in Tel Aviv and Herzliya with mixed
uses of offices, commercial and residential.
The amortizations mainly derived from the
valuation loss of the construction right values,
an increase in capitalization rate, an increase
in
expected

rights
and
a
decrease in worthwhile rental fees. In addition,
the Company listed an valuation loss to the
sum of 22 million NIS as a result of the
revaluation of the property in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Exposure to Market Risk and Management Thereof

Appendix A

Exposure to Market Risk and Management Thereof

  • 1. The person responsible for managing market risks is Mr. Uzi Levi, Company CEO. For details regarding Mr. Levi, see Regulation 26 of in the Additional Details on this Report.
  • 2. Market risks to which the Company is exposed and the Company's policy in managing market risks – the following are details of policies and primary exposures:
    • 2.1. CPI exposure as of December 31 2023 the balance of the Company's CPIlinked credit (debentures, loans from banks and loans from institutions) amounted to 6.9 billion NIS, so that a 1% increase in the CPI will lead to additional financing expenses to the sum of 69 million NIS. The Company's cash-generating property in Israel, which is worth 11.6 billion NIS, is largely rented in CPI-linked rental agreements, and the Company considers this to be long-term inflationary protection.
    • 2.2. Exposure to the Israeli capital market the Company records the value of its investments in tradable securities in its Financial Statements according to their stock market value on the balance sheet date. The changes in the value of the securities portfolio are charged to the Statement of Operations and to Other Comprehensive Income. As of December 31 2023 the value of the securities portfolio amounts to 33 million NIS. For further details, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
  • 3. Realization of policy and supervisory measures – the Committee for the Examination of the Financial Statements and the Board of Directors at least once per year discuss the Company's exposure to market risks and the actions taken by Company Management, and as needed, criteria and quantitative restrictions are set. Company Management regularly examines the scopes of activity and risk deriving from the activity.
  • 4. Linkage Basis Report See Appendix D to the Board of Directors Report.

5. Sensitivity Tests

In accordance with the 5767 Amendment to the Second Addendum to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, the Company carried out sensitivity tests for changes in risk factors influencing the fair value of "sensitive instruments".

6. Description of parameters, assumptions and models:

  • The fair value of tradable securities is their market value.
  • The fair value of loans and debentures was calculated by capitalizing future cash flows according to an interest rate that reflects the Company's financing costs.
  • Sensitivity tests to changes in interest rates of some of the fixed-interest loans and debentures were carried out on a duration basis.
  • Variable interest loans were not included in sensitivity tests of interest rates, as the influence of the changes in interest rates on their fair value is negligible.

6.1. The exchange rates taken for the sensitivity analysis are the representative rates of exchange as of December 31 2023:

Currency Representative Rate of Exchange
US Dollar 3.6270
Euro 4.0116
Canadian Dollar 2.7391
Swiss Franc 4.3135

6.2. The following are daily changes past 10% in the relevant risk factors. For risk factors, for which no daily changes greater than 10% over the past 10 years were expected, the results of 4 scenarios are presented (±5% and ±10%).

7. Disclosure Pertaining to the Company's Financial Reporting

The Company chose to present investment property using the fair value method. The fair value of most of the Company's assets in Israel and of all of the Company's assets abroad, is set by appraiser valuations conducted by the Company for its assets on a regular basis using independent professional appraisers at the Company. On a routine basis, appraiser assessments are carried out for the Company's real estate properties once per year, unless according to the Company's estimates circumstances exist that may have a material impact on the fair value of a property, and in such a case the appraiser's valuation will take place as early as possible. According to the decision of the Company Board of Directors, the Company spreads out the assessments in question across all quarters of the year. The division of the appraisals by the various quarters is generally set by areas and countries. In cases in which the Company receives an opinion on changes in capitalization rates in a certain country, an update is made to the value of the assets in that country according to the Company's assessment, using updated capitalization rates. The value of some of the Company's cash-generating properties in Israel is determined using models implemented by the Company to test the fair value of the assets, based on the capitalized cash flows received and expected to be received in the future from these assets. These models are examined from time to time by an independent appraiser, who expresses their opinion, among other things, on adapting the models and their ability to assess the market value of the assets, including the capitalization rates used in the models ("standard assets"). As of December 31 2023, the Company had 333 standard assets and their aggregate value amounted to 9.8% of the total value of cashgenerating properties in Israel and the value of each of these properties is negligible. As of December 31 2023 the value of the Company's assets whose fair value is determined via appraiser valuation amounted to a total of some 11,855 million NIS from a fair value of investment properties in Israel to the sum of 12,971 million NIS (91.4% of the Company's total investment properties in Israel).

Independent Auditors' Report to Shareholders of Mivne Real Estate (K.D.) Ltd On the Matter of the Inspection of Components of Internal Controls of Financial Reporting

In Accordance with Section 9.b.(c) of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970

We have inspected components of the internal controls of the financial reporting of Mivne Real Estate (K.D.) Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together – the Company) as of December 31 2023. These control components have been established as explained in the following paragraph. The Company's Board of Directors and management are responsible for maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting, and for evaluating the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting included in the periodic report for the date in question. Our responsibility is to express our opinion on the internal control components of the Company's financial reporting, based on our audit.

Components of internal control of financial reporting inspected were determined according to Audit Standard (Israel) 911 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel "Inspection of Components of Internal Controls for Financial Reporting" (hereinafter "Audit Standard (Israel) 911"). These components are: (1) organization-level controls, including controls of the process of preparing and closing financial reporting and general controls of information systems; (2) controls over rent revenue recognition process; (3) controls over valuation of investment property and investment property under construction (all of the above together are referred to as the "Audited Control Components").

We have conducted our audit in accordance with Audit Standard (Israel) 911. According to this standard, we were required to plan the audit and carry it out with the aim of identifying the inspected control components and achieving a reasonable level of assurance as to whether these control components were upheld effectively in all material respects. Our audit included achieving an understanding of the internal controls over financial reporting, identifying the controlled control elements, evaluation of the risk regarding the presence of any material weakness in the inspected control components, as well as testing and evaluating those control components based on the assessed risk. Our audit, regarding those control components, also included additional procedures we believed to be necessary under the circumstances. Our audit referred solely to the audited control components, unlike an internal audit on all processes material to financial reporting, and therefore our opinion refers to the audited control components only. Furthermore, our audit did not refer to mutual influences between audited and unaudited control components, and therefore our opinion does not take such negative influences into account. We believe that our audit provides adequate basis for our opinion in the context described above.

Due to their understandable limitations, internal controls over financial reporting in general, and components thereof in particular, may fail to prevent or discover a misrepresentation. Likewise, conclusions regarding the future on the basis of any present effectiveness assessment may be exposed to the risk that the controls will become inappropriate due to changes in circumstances or that the application of the policy or the procedures change to the worse.

In our opinion, the Company has upheld in an effective manner, in all material aspects, its audited control components as of December 31 2023.

We have also audited, in accordance with generally accepted Israeli auditing standards, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for December 31 2023 and 2022 and for each of the three years of the period ending December 31 2023 and our report, published March 26 2024, includes our unreserved opinion of those Financial Statements.

Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Mivne Real Estate (K.D.) Ltd

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mivne Real Estate (K.D.) Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter – the Company) dated December 31 2023 and 2022, and the Statements of Operations, Report on Consolidated Income, Report on Changes in Shareholders' Equity and Cash Flow Report for each of the three years of the period ending December 31 2023. These Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Company's Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express our opinion of these Financial Statements on the basis of our audit.

We have not audited the financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries, the assets of which included in the consolidation represent some 13.02% and 14.74% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and whose revenues included in consolidation constitute 13.43%, 13.93% and 17.92% of total consolidated revenues for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022 and, 2021, respectively. Furthermore, we have not audited the financial statements of companies presented according to the book value method, the investment in which amounted to a total of 292,821,000 NIS and 273,176,000 NIS as of December 31 2023 and 2022, respectively, and which the Company's share of the profits of the companies in question amounted to a total of 13,263,000, 984,000 and 12,824,000 NIS for the years ending December 31 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The financial statements of those companies have been audited by other accountants, whose reports have been submitted to us, and our opinion, to the extent that it relates to the sums consolidated in respect of such companies, is based on the reports of those other accountants.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted Israeli auditing standards, including standards set in the Accountants Regulations (The Accountant's Method of Operation), 1973. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit with the aim of obtaining reasonable assurance that the Financial Statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes samplings of evidence supporting the sums and information in the Financial Statements. An audit also contains an examination of the accounting rules implemented and of the material estimates made by the Company's Board of Directors and Management, as well as an evaluation of the propriety of presentation in the Financial Statements as a whole. We are of the opinion that this audit, and the reports of the other accountants, provide an adequate basis for the provision of our professional Opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other accountants, these Consolidated Financial Statements adequately reflect, in all material respects, the financial status of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31 2023 and 2022 and the results of their activities, changes to their equity and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ending December 31 2023 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and with the provisions of the Israeli Securities Regulations (Yearly Financial Statements), 2010.

Key audit matters listed below are the matters communicated, or which should have been communicated, to the Company Board of Directors which, based on our professional judgment, were highly significant in audit of the consolidated financial statements in the current period. These matters include, inter alia, any matter which: (1) refers or may refer to items or to material disclosures on the financial statements, and (2) our judgment with regard there to was challenging, subjective or unduly complicated. These matters were resolved in our audit and in formulating our opinion of the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Communicating these matters below does not alter our opinion of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and we do not provide a separate opinion of these matters nor of the items or disclosures to which they refer.

Below are matters categorized as key matters in audit of the 2023 consolidated financial statements:

Fair Value of Investment Property

As set forth in Notes 2j, 3a, 11, 14 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has investment property presented at fair value as of said date, in conformity with the accounting policy as described in Note 2. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of all investment property (generating income, under construction and future rights) amounted to 15,062,947,000 NIS; In 2023, the Company recognized valuation loss amounting to the net sum of 61,922,000 NIS.

As set forth in Note 3a to the Consolidated Financial Statements, determination of the fair value of investment property is a critical estimate, associated with uncertainty and based on valuations that include assumptions, some of which may be subjective considering the circumstances and best information available as of December 31 2023, prepared with assistance from external real estate appraisers. These assumptions primarily include the most appropriate yield and net operating income (NOI) forecasted for such property and market prices for relevant comparison units. These underlying assumptions, and determination of the overall fair value of Company investment property, including selection of the most appropriate appraisal approach, result from applying subjective judgement in an environment of uncertainty, sometimes highly significant uncertainty, and therefore changes to these underlying assumptions may result in changes to fair value of investment property, sometimes even material changes, and therefore may also affect the Company's financial standing as of December 31 2023 and its operating results for this year, as set forth in Note 14.

Given the foregoing, and in particular given that fair value of investment property is a critical estimate, subject to uncertainty and based on appraisals that include assumptions, some of which may be subjective, we have determined, based on our professional judgement, that review of fair value of investment property, in particular the reasonability of yields used in such estimation, is a key matter in the audit.

Audit procedures applied in response to key audit matter:

In response to uncertainties involved in determination of fair value of Company investment property, we primarily applied the following procedures, emphasizing review of reasonability of yields determined in property valuations: 1. Understanding the internal control environment with regard to determination of fair value of investment property and audit of the effectiveness of applicable internal controls over determination of the fair value thereof; 2. Review and analysis of fair value representations, mostly appraisals prepared by the Company and appraisers on behalf thereof, based on a sample involving both quantitative and qualitative considerations; 3. Review of underlying assumptions applied to valuations, selected on sample basis, emphasizing review of yields, forecasted NOI, market prices / comparison prices per m2 for rent / land unit and the appraisal approach applied; 4. Sample review of appraisals prepared by an expert appraiser on our behalf, emphasizing yields; 5. Communications with appraisers on behalf of the Company; 6. Involvement of senior staff of the contracting team and consultations; and 7. Review of appropriateness of disclosures regarding investment property on the consolidated financial statements.

We have also audited, in accordance with Audit Standard 911 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel "Inspection of Components of Internal Controls for Financial Reporting", components of internal controls of the Company's financial reporting as of December 31 2023, and our March 26 2024 report included an unreserved opinion regarding the effective existence of those components.

C. The Iron Swords War

On October 7 2023 the State of Israel was attacked by the Hamas terrorist organization in a brutal and murderous surprise attack. The attack from the Gaza Strip involved missiles fired and thousands of terrorists invading Israeli territory, taking the lives of over a thousand soldiers, civilians and foreigners. In addition, hundreds of people were kidnapped int the Gaza Strip.

Following the surprise attack, the Israeli Government declared a state of war, Operation "Iron Swords", in which thousands of rockets were fired into Israel, many towns in the Gaza envelope region were evacuated and over 300,000 reserve troops were called up for the attack on the Gaza Strip and to protect Israel's other borders. Concurrently, towns along the norther border were evacuated in light of increased tension in the northern border of the State of Israel with the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

Note 1 – General (Continued)

The impact of the war is evident in the Israeli economy as a whole and in the capital market in particular. These are expressed, among other things, by temporary closures and/or shortened operating hours of many businesses, restrictions on gatherings at workplaces and events, restrictions in the education system, drops in the stock exchange, the devaluation of the exchange rate of the NIS versus foreign currencies as well as an increase in yields on corporate debenture rates, due to the increase in risk and uncertainty levels. Rating company S&P has lowered the State of Israel's credit rating outlook from Stable to Negative. Raying company Moody's has lowered the State of Israel's credit rating to A2 Negative Outlook, in light of the risk of the fighting expanding to the north and expanding the fighting in Gaza, which significantly increase the geopolitical risks in the State of Israel and hurt the State's fiscal fortitude in the foreseeable future and the international rating company Fitch has announced that it was placing the State of Israel's credit rating under a negative watch.

The Company is continuing to operate subject to Homefront Command directives, including continuing the marketing and management of its properties, developing, planning and building property, albeit on a partial basis as a result of the personnel shortage.

As of the publication of this report, the direction of the conflict cannot be predicted, but estimates say that it will continue for a number more months at the least. As a result of this, it seems as though the economy is entering a wartime routine. Therefore, at this stage we cannot estimate the future impact of the war on business activity in Israel in general and on the Company's activity in particular.

At the same time, subject to the above, the Company predicts that its ongoing revenues will decrease at a non-material rate as a result of the war and as of the publication of this report, the Company does not predict material delays in the construction of the projects. At the same time, at this stage, the Company cannot estimate the change, if one occurs, in the value of its investment properties as a result of the war.

Note 2 – Principal Accounting Policies

The accounting policy detailed below has been applied consistently to all periods presented, unless stated otherwise.

A. Basis of Presentation of the Financial Statements

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Furthermore, the Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Israeli Securities Regulations (Yearly Financial Statements), 2010.

The Company's Financial Statements are prepared on a cost basis, with the exception of investment property; investment property under construction; financial assets measured at fair value via Other Comprehensive Income; financial assets and liabilities (including derivatives) measured at fair value via gain/loss.

The Company has chosen to present its gain/loss according to the operations attribute method.

B. Operating Cycle Period

The Group has two operating cycles. In reference to the contracting work, the operating cycle is over one year and may last from two to four years. Regarding other activities, the operational cycle is one year. Therefore, regarding contract works, when the operating cycle is longer than a year, the assets and liabilities directly connected to that activity are classified under current assets and liabilities in the balance sheet in accordance with the operating cycle.

C. Consolidated Financial Statements

The Consolidated Financial Statements include statements from companies controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). Control exists when a company has the power to influence the invested entity, exposure or rights to variable yields as a result of its involvement in the invested entity as well as the ability to use its power to influence the sum of the yields deriving from the invested entity. In evaluating control, one must take into account the influence of potential voting rights only if they are real.

D. Purchase of Property Companies

When purchasing a property company, the Group applies its judgement when examining whether this is considered the acquisition of a business or an asset, in order to determine the accounting treatment of the transaction. When examining whether a property company constitutes a business, the Group examines, among other things, the nature of the existing processes at the asset company, including the scope and nature of management, security, cleaning and maintenance services provided tenants. In transactions in which the purchased company is a business, the transaction is treated as a business combination as detailed above. On the other hand, transactions in which the purchased company is not a business are treated as the purchase of a group of assets and liabilities. In such transactions the cost of the acquisition, which includes transaction costs, is allocated on a relative basis to the identified assets and liabilities purchased, based on their relative fair value on the date of purchase. In the latter case, no goodwill is recognized, and no deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences that exist on the date of purchase under other revenues or expenses.

E. Investments Handled Using the Book Value Method

The Group's investments in associates and in joint operations are handled using the book value method.

According to the book value method, the investment in the associate or joint activity is presented at cost plus post-purchase changes in the Group's share of net assets, including other comprehensive income of the associate or joint activity.

Goodwill from the purchase of an associate or joint operation is presented as part of the investment in an associate or joint operation, and is measured at cost and is not depreciated systematically. Goodwill is tested for impairment as part of the investment in the associate or joint operation as a whole.

The Company examines, after applying the book value method, whether it is necessary to recognize another loss for the impairment of an investment in associates or joint ventures. The Company examines on each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in an associate or a joint venture has been impaired. Impairment review is conducted for the entire investment, including goodwill attributed to the associated company or joint venture.

Note 2 – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

F. Functional and Presentation Currency

The presentation currency of the Financial Statements and the Company's operating currency is the NIS.

The Company determines for each group member, including companies presented according to the book value method, the functional currency of each company.

The assets and liabilities or an investee constituting foreign activity including surplus costs created are translated according to the closing rate on each balance sheet date. Statement of Operations items are translated according to average exchange rates in all of the periods presented. The translation differences created are charged to other comprehensive income (loss).

G. Non-Current Asset or Group of Assets Held for Sale

A non-current asset or group of assets are classified as held for sale if they may be recovered mainly through a sales transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the assets must be available for immediate sale in their present condition, the Company must be committed to sell, a plan exists to locate a buyer and it is highly probable that their sale will be completed within one year from the date of classification. Investment real estate held for sale continues to be measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 40.

H. The Company as Lessor

The tests for classifying leases as finance or operating leases depend on the substance of the agreement and are given at the inception of the lease in accordance with the principles as set in the Standard:

Operating Lease

Lease transactions in which all risks and benefits related to owning the property are not actually transferred, are classified as operational leases. Lease receipts are charged as an ongoing income to gain/loss for the duration of the lease. Direct initial costs incurred with respect to the lease agreement are added to the cost of the leased asset and are recognized as an expense throughout the leasing period at the same base.

I. Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are considered highly liquid investments, which include unencumbered short-term bank deposits, the original period of which is no greater than three months from the investment date.

J. Investment Property

Investment real estate is real estate (land, structure or both) held by the owners (leased via operational lease) or leased by a financial lease in order to produce rental fees or for purposes of revaluation, or both, and not for manufacturing or supplying goods or service or for administrative purposes, or for sale throughout the normal course of business.

Investment property is written off upon realization, or when its use is discontinued and no future economic benefits from its realization are expected.

Investment property is first measured at cost, including direct purchasing costs. After initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value which reflects market conditions on the balance sheet date. Profits or losses deriving from changes in the fair value of investment property are charged to gain/loss upon creation. Investment property is not depreciated systematically.

Investment property undergoing development designated for future use as investment property, is also measured at fair value, as noted above, provided that fair value may be reliably measured. The cost basis of investment property under development includes the cost of real estate plus credit costs used to finance construction, direct incremental planning and development costs and brokerage fees due to engagement in agreements for its rental. In order to determine the fair value of the investment property, the Group relies on a valuation generally performed by independent external directors who are experts in real estate valuation and have the requisite knowledge and experience.

The Company chose to capitalize credit costs for investment property under construction and development so long as the conditions exist for capitalizing credit costs, prior to measuring the investment property at fair value.

K. Fixed Assets

Fixed asset items are presented at cost plus direct acquisition costs, less accumulated depreciation, less accumulated impairment losses and do not include expenses for ongoing maintenance.

Amortization is calculated at equal yearly rates on a straight line basis throughout the asset's useful life span.

The useful life span, amortization method and residual value of each asset are reviewed at the end of each year at least, and changes are treated as changes to accounting estimates on a prospective basis.

L. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is the price that would have been received from the sale of an asset or the sum that would be paid for the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants in the date of measurement.

The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using assumptions market participants use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming the market participants are acting in their own economic interest. Measuring fair value for a non-financial asset takes into account the ability of a market participant to receive economic benefits through the asset at its optimal use or by selling to a different market participant who will use the asset for its best possible use or when a projected transaction occurs.

The Group uses evaluation techniques suitable to the circumstances and for which enough achievable data exists in order to measure fair value, while maximizing use of relevant observable data and minimizing use of non-observable data.

All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or the fair value of which has been disclosed are divided into categories within the fair value grading, based on the lowest level of data material to measuring fair value as a whole:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (without adjustments) in an active market of identical assets and liabilities.
  • Level 2: Data other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which may be observed directly or indirectly.
  • Level 3: Data not based on observable market information (evaluation techniques not using observable market data).

M. Financial Instruments

  1. Financial Assets

Financial assets are measured upon first recognition at fair value plus transaction costs that can be directly attributed to purchasing the financial asset, except in the event of financial assets measured to fair value via gain/loss, for which transaction costs are charged to gain/loss.

a) The Company measures debt instruments at amortized cost when:

The Company's business model is to hold the financial assets in order to charge contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset provide rights on defined date for their cash flows, which are just principal and interest payments for the principal sum not yet redeemed.

After initial recognition, instruments in this group will be presented based on their terms at amortized cost using the effective interest method and less an impairment provision.

Capital Instruments and Other Financial Assets Held for Trade

Investments in capital instruments do not meet the criteria noted above and are therefore measured at fair value via gain/loss.

Dividend revenues from investments in capital instruments are recognized upon the determining date for dividend eligibility in the Statement of Operations.

  1. Impairment of Financial Assets

On each report date, the Company tests the provision to loss due to financial debt instruments not measured at fair value via gain/loss.

The Company has financial assets with short credit periods such as customers, for which it implements the relief set in the model, meaning that the Company measures the provision to loss at a sum equal to projected credit losses for the device's life span.

3. Financial Liabilities

a) Financial Liabilities Measured at Depreciated Cost

Upon first recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at fair value less transaction costs that can be directly attributed to the offering of the financial liability. After initial recognition, the Company measures all financial liabilities according to the amortized cost method, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value via gain/loss.

Subtraction of Financial Liabilities

The Company subtracts a financial liability when, and only when, it is paid up, meaning when the liability defined in the contract is defrayed, cancelled or expired. A financial liability is cleared when the debtor has paid off the liability by making a payment in cash, in other financial assets, in goods or services, or is freed of the liability by legal means.

In the event of changes in terms due to existing financial liabilities, the Company studies whether the terms of the liabilities are materially different from the existing terms and takes qualitative and quantitative considerations into account.

N. Provisions

A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognized when the Group has a present (legal or implied) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that it will require the use of economic resources to clear the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of it.

O. Lawsuits

A provision for lawsuits is recognized when the Group has a current legal obligation or an implied obligation due to an event that has occurred in the past, when the Group's use of its financial resources in order to discharge the obligation is more likely than not, and the obligation may be reliably estimated.

P. Share-Based Payment Transactions

Company workers/other service providers are eligible for benefits by way of share-based payment discharged in capital instruments, and some workers/other service providers are eligible for benefits by way of payment based on shares discharged in cash and calculated based on the appreciation of Company shares.

Note 2 – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

Transactions Cleared via Capital Instruments

The cost of transactions with employees cleared using capital instruments are measured at the fair value of the capital instruments upon the date of issue. Fair value is determined using an acceptable option pricing model.

The cost of transactions cleared using capital instruments is charged to gain/loss together with a concurrent increase in shareholders' equity over the period in which the conditions of performance and/or the service exist and ends on the date on which the relevant employees are entitled to remuneration. Expenses for grants that do not eventually vest are not recognized.

Q. Recognition of Income

Revenues from contracts with customers are changed to gain/loss when control of the asset or service is transferred to the customer. The transaction price is the sum of compensation expected to be received in accordance with the terms of the contract, less sums charged in favor of third parties (such as taxes).

When setting the sum of the revenue from contracts with customers, the Company examines whether it acts as a primary supplier or an agent in the contract. The Company is a primary supplier when it controls the goods or the service promised prior to its transfer to the customer.

Revenues from the Provision of Services (Including Management Fees)

Revenues from services are recognized over time, across the period in which the customer receives and consumes the benefits produced by the Company's performance. Revenues are recognized in accordance with the reporting period in which the services were provided.

Revenues from the Development and Construction of Developed Real Estate in Israel

Regarding the Company's activity in the field of development real estate in Israel, the Company has reached the conclusion, based on its sales contracts with customers in the field of development real estate in Israel, and based on the relevant laws and regulations, and in accordance with a legal opinion received, that when the Company enters into a contract to sell residential apartments, offices and commercial space in Israel, no asset is created with an alternative use for the Company, and it has a payment right enforceable for performances completed as of that date. Under these circumstances, the Company recognizes a long-term revenue.

Note 2 – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company implements the input method in order to measure the progress of its implementation, when the implementation obligation is upheld over time. The Company believes that use of the inputs method according to which revenues are recognized on the basis of inputs the Company invested in order to uphold the implementation obligation represents the income produced in practice in the best possible manner.

The Company sets the level of income from each contract according to the price of the transaction with each customer separately and recognizes income for each contract separately.

When the Company starts carrying out actions in connection with the expected contract even before the contract has been signed with the customer, upon signing the contract in question the Company recognizes income on a cumulative basis at a sum reflecting the completion rate of the implementation commitment as of that date.

The Company discounts credit costs to land for construction constituting a fit asset, such as land on which the Company is acting to securing building permits and cannot sell apartments it plans to build on the land. The Company ceases discounting credit costs when receiving building permits for land.

When loss is expected from the contract, the entire loss is recognized immediately, regardless of the completion rate.

In order to measure the price of the transaction, the Company adjusts the sum of the proceeds promised for the impact of the money's time value if the timing of the payments agreed upon between the parties to the contract, explicitly or implicitly, provides the customer or the Company with a material financing benefit in transfer of the property (for example, in 20%-80% transactions). In these cases, the contract contains a material financing component. In cases in which the gap between the date payment is received and the date the goods or service are provided the customer is one year or more, the Company implements the practical relief set in the standard and does not separate a material financing component.

Contract Securing Costs

In order to secure some of the Company's contracts with its customers, it bears incremental contract securing costs (such as sales permissions stipulated on the completion of a binding sales transaction). Costs created in order to secure the contract with the customer and which would not have been realized if the contract had not been achieved and the Company expects to recover them, are recognized as an asset and amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the provision of services provided within the framework of the specific contract.

R. Taxes on Income

Tax results for current or deferred taxes are charged to gain/loss, unless they refer to items charged directly to other comprehensive income or to equity.

  1. Current Taxes

Liability due to current taxes is set using tax rates and tax laws passed or passed in effect by the report date, as well as required adjustments pertaining to tax liability payable for previous years.

2. Deferred Taxes

Deferred taxes are calculated for temporary differences between sums included in the Financial Statements and sums taken into account for tax purposes.

Deferred tax balances are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability cleared, based on tax laws that have been enacted or enacted in effect by the reporting date.

On each reporting date deferred tax assets are studied, and in the event that their use is not expected they are amortized, temporary differences for which no deferred tax assets have been recognized are reviewed on each reporting date, and if they are expected to be realized, an appropriate deferred tax asset is recognized.

Deferred taxes due to investment property held with the aim of returning substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in it through sale rather than through use, are measured according to the anticipated method of calculation of the base asset, on the basis of sale and not use.

Taxes that would apply in the event of the sale of investments in investees have not been taken into account in calculating the deferred taxes, as long as the sale of the investments in investees is not expected in the foreseeable future. Also not taken into account are deferred taxes resulting from the distribution of profits by subsidiaries as dividends, as distributing dividends does not involve additional tax liability, or due to the Company's policy not to initiate the distribution of dividends by a subsidiary leading to additional tax liability.

S. Change in accounting policy – first-time application of new financial reporting standards and revisions to existing accounting standards:

Amendment to IAS 1, Disclosure for Financial Policy

In February 2021, the IASB published an amendment to International Accounting Standard 1: Presentation of Financial Statements (hereinafter – the Amendment). According to the amendment, companies are required to provide disclosure of their material accounting policy in lieu of the current requirement to present disclosure for their significant accounting policy. One of the main reasons for this Amendment derives from the fact that the term "significant" has no definition in the IFRS while the term "material" has a definition in the various standards, and in IAS 1 in particular.

The revision was applied to yearly reporting periods starting January 1 2023.

The above Amendment had an impact on the disclosures of the Company's accounting policies, but it had not impact on the measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 – Key Considerations, Estimates and Presumptions Employed in Preparing the Financial Statements

Estimates and Assumptions

The following are the major assumptions made in the Financial Statements with regard to uncertainty as of the report date as well as critical estimates calculated by the Group, where a material change in such estimates and assumptions may alter the value of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements for the next reported year:

A. Investment Property and Investment Property Under Development

Investment property and investment property under development (when the fair value can be estimated reliably) is presented at fair value as of the balance sheet date, with changes in fair value charged to gain/loss.

Fair value is generally determined by independent valuators in accordance with assessments of economic value that include valuation techniques and assumptions regarding estimated expected future cash flows from the property and an estimate of the suitable capitalization rate for these cash flows, as well as on management estimates based on economic models. In the matter of real estate under development, an estimate of construction costs is also needed. If possible, fair value is measured in reference to recent real estate transactions with characteristics and locations similar to the assessed property. See further information in Note 2l.

B. Inventory of Apartments/Land for Residential Construction

The net realization value is set in accordance with the Company's estimate, which includes projections and assessments regarding the expected receipts from the sale of the inventory in the project and the construction costs required to bring the inventory to sale condition. See further information in Note 2q.

C. Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of losses carried forward for tax purposes and temporary, unused differences, if future taxable income is expected against which they can be used. Management's discretion is required in order to determine the sum of the deferred tax asset that may be recognized based on timing, the sum and source of expected taxable revenue and tax planning strategy.

Note 4 – Disclosure for New IFRS Standards in the Period Prior to their Application

A. Revision to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

In January 2020, the IASB published a revision to IAS 1 on requirements to classify liabilities as current or non-current (hereinafter – "the Original Amendment"). In October 2022 the IASB issued a consecutive amendment the above amendment (hereinafter – "the Consecutive Amendment:).

The Consecutive Amendment states that:

  • Only financial covenants an entity must comply with at the end of the reported period or prior to that, impact the classification of that liability as a current liability or a non-current liability.
  • For liabilities the examination of compliance with financial covenants is tested within the 12 months consecutive to the report date, disclosure must be provided in a manner that will allow users of the Financial Statements to assess the risks for that liability. This means that the Consecutive Amendment states that disclosure must be provided for the book value of the liability, as well as information on financial covenants and facts and circumstance as of the end of the reported period, which may lead to the conclusion that the entity will have difficulty upholding the financial covenants.

The Original Amendment states that a conversion right of a liability will impact the classification of the liability as a whole as a current or non-current liability, except in cases in which the conversion component is capital-based.

The original amendment and the consecutive amendment shall be implemented for yearly reporting periods starting January 1 2024 or subsequently. The Amendments will be applied retroactively.

That the above revision will not have a material impact on the Company's Consoidated Financial Statements.

The fluctuations chosen in the relevant risk variables were set in accordance with management assessments regarding possible reasonable changes in these risk variables.

The Company has performed sensitivity tests of principal market risk factors that are liable to affect its reported operating results or financial position. The sensitivity tests present the profit or loss and/or change in equity (before tax) with respect to each financial instrument for the relevant risk variable chosen for it as of each reporting date. The test of risk factors was determined based on the materiality of the exposure of the operating results or financial condition of each risk with reference to the functional currency and assuming that all the other variables are constant.

A. Tax Laws Applicable to Group Members

Income Tax Law (Adjustments due to Inflation), 1985

According to the law, up to the end of 2007 results for tax purposes in Israel were measured after being adapted to changes in the Consumer Price Index.

In February 2008 the Knesset passed an amendment to the Income Tax Law (Adjustments due to Inflation), 1985, limiting the incidence of the Adjustments Law from 2008 onward. Starting 2008, results are measured for tax purposes in nominal sums with the exception of various adjustments due to changes in the CPI in the period ending December 31 2007. Adjustments referring to capital gains, such as for the realization of real estate (betterment) and securities continue to apply until the realization date. The amendment to the law includes, inter alia, cancellation of the adjustment of the addition and deduction for inflation and the additional deduction for depreciation (on depreciable assets acquired after the 2007 tax year) starting in 2008.

B. Tax Rates Applicable to Group Members

In December 2016 the Knesset General Assembly passed the Economic Streamlining Law (Legislative Amendment for Achieving Budget Goals for the 2017 and 2018 Budget Years), 2016, which was published on December 29 2016. Pursuant to the approved law, the corporate tax rates will be decreased starting January 1 2017 to 24% (instead of 25%) and starting January 1 2018 to a rate of 23%.

Note 31 – Segment-Based Information

A. General:

The Company reports two reportable segments in accordance with Management's approach to IFRS 8. Distribution to segments is carried out on the basis of the Company's areas of activity. Management tracks the segment's results separately in order to allocate the resources and assess the performance of the sector, which in certain cases is measured differently than the sums reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management has established that the operating sectors are based on reports reviewed by senior management when making strategic decisions. The following is information on the Company's operating segments:

– Cash-generating property – ownership and operation of investment property mainly used for offices, high-tech, industry, logistics and trade, data centers and housing units for generating rental fees.

– Development residential real estate – the development of residential real estate in Israel including locating, planning, developing, building, marketing and selling residential construction in Israel.

Reportable operating segments were not collected. No transactions were made between the various segments.

Management examines the operating results of business units separately for the purpose of reaching decisions regarding the allocation of resources and the assessment or performance. Segment results are assessed on a gross profit basis.
