7. The effect of inflation and interest rates

Further to what is stated in Section 1.8.5 to Chapter A to the Company's Annual Report, in the first quarter of 2023 inflation rates in Israel and across the world continued to rise, and accordingly central banks continued to increase inflation rates in an attempt to curb inflation. In Israel, the Bank of Israel increased its interest rate during the first quarter, and as of the report's publication date, the interest rate stands at 4.5%. In Europe, the Central European Bank (ECB) increased its interest rate to 3.75% as of the publication date of this report, and in the USA the interest rate increased to 5.25% as of the publication date of this report. As of the report date, the Company does not have material CPI-linked or unlinked loans, and therefore, the above-mentioned changes do not have a material effect on the Company's results.

However, a future increase in the Company's loans balance as part of the Group's combined strategy shall lead to an increase in financing costs, and therefore will affect the Company's financial results. Following the increase in raw material prices and inflation, the Company takes steps to update the prices of its products supplied to its customers, in order to mitigate the impact of price increases on its activity.

As of the report date, the Company is unable to assess the future impact of all of the above-mentioned factors, if any, on the markets in which it operates in general and on the Company's activity in particular. However, at this stage, the Company believes that those factors will not have a material effect on its results of operations and the implementation of its strategy.

All assumptions and data listed in this Section above regarding the effect of inflation and interest rates on the Company's results constitute forward-looking forecasts, assessments and estimates, as defined in the Securities Law, which are based on the Company's assessments of developments and current and future events, whose date of occurrence, if any, is uncertain and outside the Company's control. These assessments may not materialize, in whole or in part, or may materialize in a manner different than that expected by the Company, due to, among other things, changes in the economic situation in Israel and in other countries in which the Company operates as part of its operating segments.

  1. For information regarding the social-economic situation in Israel and across the world and the war between Russia and Ukraine, see Section 1.8 to Chapter A to the 2022 Periodic Report.

The Board of Directors wishes to thank the Company's management and its employees for the results achieved in the first quarter of 2023.

Auditors' review report to the shareholders of Turpaz Industries Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of Turpaz Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries ("the Company" and "the Group", respectively), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2023 and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period of three months then ended. The Company's board of directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of interim financial information for this period in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and are responsible for the preparation of this interim financial information in accordance with Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

We did not review the condensed interim financial information of certain subsidiaries, whose assets included in consolidation constitute approximately 3.9% of total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2023, and whose revenues included in consolidation constitute approximately 6.6% of total consolidated revenues for the period of three months then ended. The condensed interim financial information of those companies was reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the financial information in respect of those companies, is based on the review reports of other auditors.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements (Israel) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accounts in Israel. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

In addition to the abovementioned, based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Chapter D to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

a. General description of the Group and its activity:

Turpaz Industries Ltd. ("the Company") is an Israeli-based company. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2023 include those of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the Group").

The Group operates, by itself and through subsidiaries in Israel, the U.S., Southeast Asia and Europe in the development, production and marketing in three operating segments: (1) tastes; (2) fragrances; (3) specialty raw material ingredients (see Note 5).

These financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as of March 31, 2023 and for the period of three months then ended ("interim consolidated financial statements"). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended and accompanying notes ("annual consolidated financial statements").

b. The consequences of the war between Russia and Ukraine:

During February 2022, a war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, which continues to cause major casualties, damage to infrastructures and disruption of the Ukrainian economy. As a result, several countries (including the U.S., U.K. and the EU) imposed economic sanctions on certain entities and individuals in Russia or related to Russia elsewhere in the world. Various sanctions were also levied on Belarus.

These sanctions are likely to have a direct impact on these entities and individuals and indirectly affect their business partners as well as certain industries in the Russian and Belarussian economies.

The potential fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, import and export restrictions, availability of materials and local services and access to local resources are all factors that affect entities operating in or with major exposure to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.

As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, the Company assesses that the war in Ukraine has not had a material impact on the Group's operating results. However, the war's implications challenge the markets in which the Company operates including disruption of supply chains and raw material availability which, together with the rise in inflation, have led to increases in raw material prices. The increases in raw material prices did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

c. Effects of inflation and increase in interest rate:

Following the global macroeconomic developments in 2022, there was an increase in rates of inflation in Israel and worldwide. As part of the measures taken to restrain inflationary price increases, central banks around the world, including the Bank of Israel, began raising their benchmark interest rates.

As of the reporting date, the Company has no material indexed or unindexed loans or loans bearing variable interest and therefore the above changes are not likely to affect its results. Nevertheless, a future increase in the Company's debt as part of practicing the Group's integrated business strategy will likely lead to an increase in the Group's finance expenses.

The Company also examined the discount rate used to calculate the value in use of its cashgenerating units and found that the updated rate does not significantly reduce the recoverable amounts.

Due to the increase in raw material prices and in inflation, the Company is taking steps to update the prices of products sold to customers to mitigate the markup effect on its operations.

As of the financial statement date, the Company is unable to assess the future effects of all the factors discussed above, if any, on the markets in which it operates and specifically on its activities. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Company estimates that they will not have a material impact on its operating results and ability to realize its business strategy.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements:

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", and in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

  • b. Initial application of amendments to existing accounting standards:
      1. Amendment to IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors":

In February 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors" ("the Amendment"), in which it introduces a new definition of "accounting estimates".

Accounting estimates are defined as "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". The Amendment clarifies the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors.

The Amendment is applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and is applicable to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period.

The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

  1. Amendment to IAS 12, "Income Taxes":

In May 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12, "Income Taxes" ("IAS 12"), which narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12.15 and IAS 12.24 ("the Amendment").

According to the recognition guidelines of deferred tax assets and liabilities, IAS 12 excludes recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of certain transactions. This exception is referred to as the "initial recognition exception". The Amendment narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception and clarifies that it does not apply to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions that are not a business combination and that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences, even if they meet the other criteria of the initial recognition exception.

The Amendment applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. In relation to leases and decommissioning obligations, the Amendment is applied commencing from the earliest reporting period presented in the financial statements in which the Amendment is initially applied. The cumulative effect of the initial application of the Amendment is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or another component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements but is expected to affect the disclosure of the composition of deferred taxes in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for 2023.

  1. Amendment to IAS 1 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies:

In February 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" ("the Amendment"), which replaces the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies. One of the main reasons for the Amendment is the absence of a definition of the term 'significant' in IFRS whereas the term 'material' is defined in several standards and particularly in IAS 1.

The Amendment is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements and is not expected to affect the accounting policy disclosures in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for 2023.

NOTE 3:- BUSINESS COMBINATION

Acquisition of Aromatique:

On January 9, 2023, after obtaining the regulatory approvals in Romania, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the purchase of 65% of the issued and outstanding share capital and voting rights of Aromatique Food Srl, a private company incorporated in Romania ("Aromatique"), from its single shareholder ("the seller"), in return for RON 17 million (approximately \$ 3.6 million). The purchase agreement consists of call/put options for purchasing the remaining shares of Aromatique by the Company which can be exercised from January 1, 2025 for a price based on Aromatique's business performances in the period from January 1, 2023 through the option exercise date. Aromatique was founded in 2013 and is engaged in the research, development, production, marketing, sale and supply of savory functional ingredients and flavor mixtures mainly for the Romanian food industry.

The purchase price was allocated to tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their fair value on the purchase date. The fair value measurement of the assets and liabilities is subject to a final purchase price allocation (PPA) of the fair value of the assets and liabilities, which has not yet been completed as of the date of approval of these financial statements. The table below summarizes the purchase price and provisional PPA:

NOTE 5:- OPERATING SEGMENTS

a. General:

As described in the annual consolidated financial statements, given the significant acquisitions made by the Company, its current economies of scale and diversification of income sources, the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") ceased analyzing the operating segments of specialty intermediates for the pharma industry and specialty ingredients separately and began analyzing them aggregately as a single reportable operating segment (specialty raw material ingredients).

As a result, comparative data have been restated.

Based on the aforesaid, the Group discloses three operating segments: (1) tastes; (2) fragrances; and (3) specialty raw material ingredients.

The segments' performances (segment profits) are estimated based on operating income (income before net finance expenses and unallocated expenses), as presented in the financial statements.

NOTE 6:- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Fair value:

In the reporting period, the Company measured the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost and concluded that their fair value is not materially different from their carrying amount.

b. Liabilities in respect of put options and contingent consideration:

Some of the business combinations executed by the Company include a mechanism whereby the previous owners have a put option to sell their remaining shares and the Company has a call option to buy those shares (symmetrical put-call options) while others include a contingent consideration mechanism based on the future operating results of the acquirees.

As of March 31, 2023, total liabilities amounted to \$ 37,933 thousand. The value of the liabilities was estimated in accordance with the average EBITDA achieved over the term of the agreement. The weighted annual discount rate of the options is 8.6%. The fair value is measured at level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The key non-observable input used by the Company to assess the value of the option is the future EBITDA that will be achieved; in order to assess the liabilities in respect of the options and update their value, the Company used the companies' ongoing results and updated forecasts.
