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

For the Period Ending December 31 2022

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 year ending December 31 2022 ("The Reported Period"):

Business Environment

Description of the Company and its Business Environment1

The Company is active in the field of cash-generating real estate and deals, 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 1,949,000 m² of cash-generating space, of which 1,651,000 m² is in Israel. The Company has land reserves and unused rights to the amount of 764,000 m²

The strong growth trend in the Israeli economy, which started in the first half of 2021 with removal of the restrictions imposed due to the Corona Virus pandemic, which saw a surplus in the Government of Israel budget and higher employment rates, was reversed in the second quarter of 2022 due, inter alia, to several economic and geo-political events, both global and local, including the following: renewed Corona Virus outbreak in China and stoppage of part of the economic activity in that country, the outbreak of war in the Ukraine, the fall of the Israeli Government which once again placed the country in an election period." These factors, as well as higher energy and transportation prices, had a decisive effect on global price levels, resulting in sharply higher inflation: 6.5% in the USA, 10.5% in the UK, 9.2% in the EU and 5.3% in Israel.

The Bank of Israel inflation forecast for 2023 is 3.0% and for 2024: 2.0%.

In response to higher prices and interest rate increase by central banks in Europe and in the USA, as from April 2022 the Bank of Israel moved to raise interest rates in Israel, in several steps, from a near-zero level (which lasted for almost 7 years) to its current level of 4.25%.

In 2022, the Consumer Price Index increased by 5.3%. The Company has loans and debentures linked to the Consumer Price Index and which bear interest linked to the CPI. Therefore, the increase in CPI has led to an increase in the Company's financing costs. On the other hand, the Company's cash-generating property in Israel, the current value of which is 11.9 billion NIS, is 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 to an increase in the fair value of its properties. For further details see the "Summary of Primary Data" and the "Summary of Business Expenses" table in this report.

1 Information sources in this section – Macro-economic Forecast of Bank of Israel Research Division, January 2023.

The Company determines the fair value of its properties by, inter alia, determining the discount rates used to discount future cash flow from such properties. The Company has exposure to changes in these discount rates, which are affected, inter alia, by the risk-free interest rate in the market. Note, in this regard, that the spread between the weighted discount rate and the weighted cost of debt, vs. the negligible current financing cost of the Company remains high, even by comparison to previous periods.

In January 2023, the Government started promoting an extensive judicial reform. The proposed reform drew wide-spread criticism across segments, and was divisive to the point where senior economists and experts in economic, legal and social fields warn of the impact to stability of the Israeli market and economy. According to these experts, the proposed reform and the dispute arising from it may result in lowered credit rating of the State of Israel, may impact the capacity of the Israeli economy to raise financing and withdrawal of funds and investments out of Israel, which would result in higher borrowing costs in the Israeli economy and would impact the economic activity, and in particular in the high-tech sector.

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 bonds.

The estimates and forecasts presented in this section above constitute forward-looking information, as defined in the Securities Law, 1968

Achievement of 2022 forecast

As of December 31, 2022, the Company equity amounted to NIS 8,026 million, with net income in 2022 amounting to NIS 1,285 million.

Furthermore, the Company exceeded its published forecasts for the year, with NOI of NIS 760 million (compared to forecast of NIS 715-740 million) and with FFO of NIS 544 million (compared to forecast of NIS 470-500 million) .

The Company Board of Directors wishes to thank Company management and staff for their contribution towards achieving and exceeding these targets.

Conclusion of the CEO's term in office

Further to immediate reports by the Company dated February 22, 2023 and March 7, 2023 (reference no. 2023-01-019593 and 2023-01-024795, respectively, included herein by way of reference) with regard to negotiations with Company CEO Mr. David Zvida and the management company controlled thereby (hereinafter jointly: "the CEO") regarding termination of the services agreement with the management company and conclusion of the CEO's term in office, the Company hereby announces that on March 19, 2023, the Company and the CEO signed a definite separation agreement. The CEO shall conclude their term in office with the Company, including with subsidiaries and affiliates, as from March 22, 2023 and shall conclude their notice period on December 20, 2023. The separation agreement governs the contracting terms with the CEO during and after the notice period .The Company intends to issue soon a notice convening a General Meeting of Company shareholders, which would list highlights of the separation agreement and would submit for approval all those terms that are subject to approval by the General Meeting by law . This termination is by mutual

agreement, after Mr. Zvida has concluded many years in office as Group CEO and due to differences in management and organizational concept and in remuneration expectations between the Company Board of Directors and Mr. Zvida . The Company wishes to thank Mr. Zvida for his significant contribution and wishes him the best of continued luck .

* The increase in NOI in 2022 compared to the corresponding period last year derives from an increase from assets purchased to the sum of NIS 28 million, from an increase due to an increase in CPI to the sum of NIS 34 million, from the impact of Covid-19 to the sum of NIS 12 million and from an increase due to new rentals, an increase in rental fees in contract renewals and a decrease in net management expenses to the sum of NIS 20 million.

** Most of the decrease derives from the sale of properties in Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Serbia. In addition, a decrease due to the property in Ukraine to the sum of NIS 14 million due to the receipt of partial rent in light of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

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 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.

------------------------------------ ------ ------

Change in real FFO in 2022, compared to 2021, is primarily due to higher NOI, lower real financing expenses and lower current taxes due to effect of the CPI.

(1) The change in the CPI affects direct tax expenses. When the CPI is higher / lower, financing expenses are higher / lower in respect of CPI-linked debt, resulting in lower / higher provision for current taxes.

2023 Forecast

Below is the forecast for FFO from rental properties and NOI forecast for 2023:

The Company's forecast for its key operating results in 2023, based on the following working assumptions:

  • Known CPI as of December 31 2022.
  • Without the purchase of new properties.
  • 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 and in this report.
  • The expectations of Company Management regarding the renewal of most of the rental agreements that will expire over the course of 2023.
  • Consumer Price Index annual increase by 2.7%.

Forward-looking information is any forecast, estimate, assessment or other information in the Company's possession as they are upon the publication of this report with regard to future events or issues, the materialization of which is uncertain and not under the sole control of the Company, and among other things, is subject, by nature, to significant chances of non-realization. Such information is influenced, among other things, by the business environment in which the Company is active and by the risk factors that characterize the Company's activity, including the state of the Israeli economy, the global health crisis, the global geopolitical crisis, changes in occupancy rates, in the CPI, in interest rates, and in rental fees. Changes in the business environment or the realization of any of the Company's risk factors may influence the Company's activity and its monetary results in a manner different than the assessments detailed above.

For Notes and Explanations
2022 2021
Revenues from rental and
management fees
969 899 Most of the increase derives from the purchase of Bank Mizrachi
properties and rental housing, from the impact of the CPI increase
on rental contracts and increased occupancy rates and a real
increase in rental fees. Furthermore, during the corresponding
period last year a 12 million NIS negative impact was recorded
due to the influence of Covid-19.

Increase in Fair Value of

1,347 756 Over the course of the period, 262 valuations were carried out for
properties in Israel worth 12.2 billion NIS. In addition, 360 internal
assessments were performed according to the value in use model
used at the Company with a total value of 1.05 billion NIS. The
increase in value over the year-ago period derived from an
increase in the value of land, and increase in real rental fees,
improved occupancy rates and a decrease in capitalization rates.
Following the increase in the Consumer Price Index, increase by
NIS 375 million in value was recorded. In addition, in the second
quarter the Company recorded a revaluation of NIS 222 million
for the Solelim Project, which largely derived from an increase in
expected rental fees and from a drop in capitalization rates by
NIS 224 million with respect to additional construction rights in
the property on Yigal Alon Street, Tel Aviv. In addition, the
Company listed an impairment to the sum of NIS 64 million as a
result of the revaluation of the debt 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. David Zvida, Chairman of the Board of Directors. For details on Mr. Zvida, see Regulation 26 in the Additional Details chapter of 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, 2022 the balance of the Company's CPI-linked credit (debentures, loans from banks and loans from institutions) amounted to NIS 5.5 billion, so that a 1% increase in the CPI will lead to additional financing expenses to the sum of NIS 55 million. The Company's cash-generating property in Israel, which is worth NIS 11.4 billion, 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 2022 the value of the securities portfolio amounts to NIS 50 million.

For additional information, see Note 6A to the financial statements.

3. Linkage Basis Report – See Appendix D to the Board of Directors Report.

4. 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".

5. 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.

5.1. The exchange rates taken for the sensitivity analysis are the representative rates of exchange as of December 31 2022:

Currency Representative Rate of Exchange
U.S. dollar 3,519
Euro 3,753
Canadian dollar 2.5966
Swiss franc 3.8151

5.2. 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%).

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 quarter sis, 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 2022, the Company had 334 standard assets and their aggregate value amounted to 9.1% of the total value of cash-generating properties in Israel and the value of each of these properties is negligible.

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 2022. These control components have been determined 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, 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 become inappropriate due to changes in circumstances or that the application of the policy or the procedures changes 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 2022.

We have also audited, in accordance with generally accepted Israeli auditing standards, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for December 31, 2022 and, 2021 and for each of the three years of the period ending December 31, 2022 and our report, dated March, 20, 2023, 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, 2022 and, 2021, 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, 2022. 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 14.74% and 19.12% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2022 and, 2021, respectively, and whose revenues included in consolidation constitute 13.93%, 17.92% and 15.83% of total consolidated revenues for the years ending December 31, 2022, 2021 and, 2020, respectively. Furthermore, we have not audited the financial statements of companies presented according to the book value method, investment in which amounted to a total of NIS 273,176 thousand and NIS 157,798 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and, 2021, respectively, and which the Company's share of the profits (losses) of the companies in question, amounted to NIS 984 thousand, NIS 12,824 thousand and NIS 1,503 thousand for the years ending December 31, 2022, 2021 and, 2020, 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 includes 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 on 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 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, 2022 and, 2021 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, 2022, 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 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 2022 consolidated financial statements.

Fair value of investment property

As set forth in Notes 2Q, 3B and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has investment property carried at fair value as of said date, in conformity with the accounting policy as described in Note 2. As of December 31, 2022, The fair value of all investment property (generating income, under construction and future rights) amounted to NIS 14,583,355 thousand; In 2022, the Company recognized appreciation of said fair value amounting to NIS 1,346,603 thousand. As set forth in Note 3B 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, 2022, 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, 2022 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; 7. Review of appropriateness of disclosures regarding investment property on the consolidated financial statements.

We have also audited, in accordance with Audit Standard (Israel) 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, 2022, and our report dated March, 20, 2022 included an unreserved opinion regarding the effective existence of those components.

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 the 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.

The Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared for identical dates and periods. Accounting policy in the subsidiaries' financial statements has been applied in a unified manner, consistent with that applied in the Company's Financial Statements. Balances and material mutual transactions and profits and losses deriving from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been written off in full in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-controlling interests due to subsidiaries represent the equity in the subsidiaries that cannot be attributed, directly or indirectly, to the parent company. Non-controlling interests are presented separately pursuant to the Company's capital. Gain or loss and any component of other comprehensive income attributed to the Company and to noncontrolling interests. Losses are attributed to non-controlling interests even if as a result, the balance of non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is negative.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

Sale of a stake in a subsidiary, without losing control, is recognized as a change in capital. Upon realizing a subsidiary while losing control, the Company:

  • Subtracts the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary.
  • Subtracts the balance of non-controlling interests in the Financial Statements.
  • Subtracts the adjustments deriving from the translation of financial statements charged to equity.
  • Recognizes the fair value of proceeds received.
  • Recognizes the fair value of proceeds received and of any remaining investment.
  • Reclassifies the components recognized earlier in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
  • Recognizes any difference created as profit or loss.

D. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL

Business combinations are handled using the purchase method. Purchase cost is measured according to the fair value of the proceeds transferred on the date of purchase plus minority interests in the purchased business. In each business combination, the Company chooses whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the purchased company according to their full fair value on the date of purchase or pro-rata to the fair value of the purchased company's identified assets, net.

Direct acquisition costs are charged to the Statement of Operations upon creation.

In business combinations achieved in stages, capital rights to the purchased company held by the buyers prior to achieving control are measured at fair value as of the date of purchase while being charged to gain/loss from the revaluation of the previous investment on the date control was achieved.

Goodwill is initially recognized at cost, which is the difference between the proceeds from its sale and non-controlling interests and the net sum of the identifiable assets purchased and liabilities taken. If the sum of the goodwill received is negative, the buyer will recognize the profit created on the date of sale.

E. 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 processes existing 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.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

F. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Joint arrangements are arrangements in which the Company has shared control. Shared control is agreed-upon contractual cooperation for control over order, which only exists when decisions regarding relevant activities require the unanimous decision of the parties sharing control.

1) Joint Ventures

In joint ventures the parties to the arrangement have joint control over the rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint ventures are handled using the book value method

2) Joint Operations

In joint activities, the parties to the arrangement have joint control over the arrangement, rights to the assets and obligations to the liabilities of the arrangement. The Company recognizes for the joint activity its relative share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint activity.

G. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES

Associates are companies in which the Group has significant influence over their financial and operating policies, without having control. Investment in an associate is presented according to the book value method.

H. 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. Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the group and the associate or joint activity are eliminated in accordance with the holding rate.

Goodwill from the purchase of an associate or joint activity is presented as part of the investment in an associate or joint activity, 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 activity as a whole.

The financial statements of the company and its associate or joint activity have been prepared for identical dates and periods. The accounting policy in the associate's or joint activity's financial statements has been applied in a unified manner, consistent with that applied in the group's financial statements.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

In an associate in which losses were caused that exceed its capital, the company recognized its share of the losses of the associate to the level of its investments in the associate plus a loss that may be caused it as a result of collateral or other financial support given for this associate to the level of the collateral or other financial compensation. For this reason, the investments includes long-term financial items receivable (such as loans granted), which are not intended to be written off and which are not expected to be redeemed in the foreseeable future.

The book value method is applied until material influence in the associate or material influence in the joint activity ceases, or until they are classified as an investment held for sale.

The Company continues to implement the book value method in cases in which investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint transaction, and vice versa. The Company implements IFRS 5 on the investment or part of the investment in an associate or a joint transaction classified as held for sale. Some part remaining in this investment not classified as held for sale continues to be handled using the book value method.

On the date the Group no longer has material influence or joint control, the Groups measures any investment remaining in the associate or joint operation at fair value, and charges to gain/loss the difference between the proceeds from the realization of part of the investment in the associate or joint operation and the fair value of the investment remaining, and the book value of the investment realized on this date.

I. FUNCTIONAL, PRESENTATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY

1. 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).

When realizing foreign activity, or when partially realizing foreign activity, while losing control, the accumulated profit (loss) referring to this activity recognized in Other Comprehensive Income is charged to gain/loss. During the partial realization of foreign activity, while maintaining control of the subsidiary, a relative portion of the sum recognized under Other Comprehensive Earnings is re-attributed to noncontrolling interests.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

2. Transactions, Assets and Liabilities in Foreign Currency

Transactions quoted in foreign currency are listed upon first recognition according to exchange rates in effect on the date the transaction took place. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated on each reporting date into the functional currency, using the exchange rate on said date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currency presented at cost are translated according to the exchange rate on the transaction date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are presented at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the date on which the fair value was determined.

3. CPI-Linked Monetary Items

Financial assets and liabilities linked according to their terms to changes in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter – CPI) are adapted according to the relevant CPI, on each reporting date, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Linkage differentials arising from such an adjustment, except those capitalized for qualified assets or charged to equity for hedging transactions, are charged to gain/loss.

J. 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.

K. PROVISION TO DOUBTFUL DEBT

The provision to doubtful debt is set specifically for debts for which, Company management estimates, their collection is in doubt. Furthermore, for balances of customers for whom no specific provision was recognized, the Company records a provision for impairment for those customer balances that are evaluated on a group basis, based on the characteristics of their credit risks. Impaired customer debts are written off on the date on which it is determined that these debts can no longer be collected.

L. INVENTORY OF REAL ESTATE, BUILDINGS AND APARTMENTS FOR SALE

The cost of the inventory of buildings and apartments for sale includes direct identified costs due to the cost of the land, such as taxes, fees and excises as well as construction costs. The Company also capitalizes to the cost of the inventory of buildings and apartments for sale, any credit costs incurred from the period in which the Company had begun land development activities to the date on which the building permit was received.

Real estate under construction is measured on a cost basis. The cost of real estate includes credit costs referring to the financing of the properties' construction until their completion date, planning and design costs, indirect construction costs allocated and other related construction costs.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

Inventory of land acquired by the Group in a receipt combination transaction, whereby the Group commits to provide cash depending on the price apartments to be constructed on said land will be sold, is measured in accordance with the fair value of the land alongside recognition of the financial obligation generated due to expected future payments. In subsequent periods, the financial liability is measured again based on cash flows expected to be paid, discounted using the original effective interest rate. Changes in present value of capitalized cash flows are recognized under inventory.

The inventory of buildings and apartments for sale is measured at cost or net realization value, whichever is lower. Net realization value is the estimated sales price over the regular course of business less estimated completion costs and costs required to carry out the sale.

M. 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. Other comprehensive income (loss) and for a non-current asset or group of assets classified as held for sale are presented separately in equity.

N. LEASES

The Company treats a contract as a leasing contract when in accordance with the terms of the contract, the right to control an identified property is transferred for a period of time for compensation.

1. The Company as Tenant

For the transaction in which the Company constitutes a tenant it recognizes upon the start of the lease a right of use asset against the lease liability, with the exception of lease transactions for a period of up to 12 months and lease transactions in which the base asset is of low value, in which the Company chose to recognize lease payments as an expense in gain or loss on a straight line across the lease period.

On the start date, a lease liability includes all lease payments not yet paid, capitalized by the lease rate embodied in the lease, when it can be determined easily or at the Company's incremental interest rate. After the start date, the Company measures the lease liability using the effective interest method.

A usage right asset at the start date is recognized at the level of the lease liability plus lease payments paid on the start date or prior to it and plus transaction costs created.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

The usage right asset is leased using the cost model and is amortized across its useful life span or the lease period whichever is shorter, except for those classified as investment property. The leased rear estate properties classified by the Group as investment properties, are recognized in the Group's Balance Sheet at fair value, and the lease is treated as a financial lease.

2. 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.

3. Variable Lease Payments

Variable lease payments based on implementation or use and not dependent on cpi or interest, are recognized as an expense in transactions in which the company constitutes the lessee and as income in transactions in which the company constitutes a lessee, on their creation date.

O. 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. Asset depreciation is halted on the date on which the asset is classified as held for sale or on the date on which the asset is subtracted, whichever is earlier.

P. CREDIT COSTS

The Group capitalizes credit costs related to the purchase, construction or manufacture of qualifying assets requiring a significant amount of time for their preparation, their intended use or their sale.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

The capitalization of borrowing costs begins on the date when costs has been incurred with respect to the actual asset, activities necessary to prepare the asset have started and credit costs have been incurred, and ends when all activities needed to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale have been essentially completed. The sum of borrowing costs capitalized in the reported period includes specific borrowing costs and general borrowing costs based on a weighted capitalization rate.

Q. INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment property 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. The difference between the net yield from the realization of the property and its balance in the balance sheet is charged to gain/loss in the period when the property is subtracted.

Investment property is first measured at cost, including direct purchasing costs. After its initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value, which reflects market conditions on the reporting 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 measured reliably. 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 value estimate performed by independent external directors who are experts in real estate value estimates and have the requisite knowledge and experience.

R. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets purchased separately are measured upon initial recognition at cost plus direct purchasing costs. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are measured at fair value on the date of purchase.

Intangible assets with defined useful life spans are depreciated across their useful life spans and impairment is measured when signs of impairment exist.

S. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

The company evaluates the need to record an impairment to non-financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balance in the financial statements is not recoverable.

If the book value of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable sum, the assets are reduced to their recoverable sum. The recoverable sum is the fair value less costs of sale or

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

value in use, whichever is higher. The recoverable sum of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are charged to gain/loss.

An impairment loss of an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Such a reversal of loss is limited to the sum of asset impairment recognized in the past (net of depreciation or amortization), or to the recoverable sum of the asset - whichever is lower.

The unique criteria below are implemented when examining the impairment of the following specific assets:

  1. Goodwill Due to Subsidiaries

The Company tests impairment of goodwill once per year, as of December 31, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment exist. Examination of the impairment of goodwill is determined by studying the recoverable sum of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill was assigned. When the recoverable sum of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) is lower than the balance sheet balance of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill was allocated, an impairment loss attributed first to goodwill is recognized. Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.

  1. Investment in Associate or Joint Ventures.

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.

T. 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.

The Company classifies and measures debt instruments in its Financial Statements on the basis of the following criteria:

  • The financial model of the company managing the financial assets, and -
  • The characteristics of the projected cash flow of the financial asset.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

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.

b) 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.

Other financial liabilities held for trade such as derivatives, including embedded derivatives that have been separated from a host contact are measured at fair value via gain/loss, unless they are intended to be used for effective hedging.

Regarding specific capital instruments that are not held for trade, upon initial recognition, the Company made an unalterable choice to present consecutive changes in fair value in Other Comprehensive Income, which otherwise would have been measured at fair value via gain or loss. These changes will not be charged to gain or loss in the future, even when the investment is subtracted.

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

2. 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. The Company implements the relief set in the standard for these financial assets.

The impairment for debt instruments measured at amortized cost will be charged to gain/loss against a provision while the impairment for debt instruments measured at fair value via other comprehensive income shall be charged to gain/loss against other comprehensive income and shall not decrease the book value of the financial asset in the Balance Sheet.

The Company subtracts a financial instrument only when the contractual rights for cash flows from the financial instrument expire.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

    1. Financial Liabilities
    2. 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.

b) Financial Liabilities Measured at Depreciated Cost

Upon initial recognition, the Company measures its financial liabilities not measured at deprecated costs at fair value when the transaction costs are charged to gain/loss.

After initial recognition, changes in fair value charged to gain/loss.

4. 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.

When a material change is made to the terms of an existing financial liability or the replacement of a liability with a different liability with materially different terms, between the Company and the same lender, the transaction is treated as a write-off of the original liability and as recognition of a new liability. The difference between the book values of the above liabilities is charged to gain/loss.

In the event of a non-material change in the terms of an existing liability or the replacement of a liability with a different liability with terms that are not materially different, between the Company and the same lender, the Company updates the sum of the liability, which means capitalizing the new cash flows at the original effective interest rate, with the difference charged to gain/loss.

5. Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net sum is presented in the Balance Sheet if there is an enforceable legal right to offset the sums recognized and the intent exists to clear the asset and the liability on a net basis or realize the asset and clear the liability concurrently. The offsetting right needs to be legally enforceable not only over the regular course of business of the parties to the contract but also in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of one of the parties. In order for the right to offset to exist immediately, it cannot be dependent on a future event or that there be periods of time in which it does not apply, or events exist that cause it to expire.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

  1. Hedge Accounting

Derivative Financial Instruments used for Hedging (Defensive) Purposes

From time to time, the Group enters into agreements with derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts (forward) and interest rate swatch (IRS) agreements to hedge itself from the risks associated with fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of derivatives that are not used for hedge accounting are charged directly to gain/loss.

Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

Cash Flow Hedging

The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognized under Other Comprehensive Income, while the ineffective portion is charged immediately to gain/loss.

Other comprehensive income (loss) is transferred to gain/loss when the results of the hedging agreement are charged to gain/loss, for instance, when the hedged income or expense is charged to gain/loss.

Net Investment Hedging in Foreign Activity

Hedges of a net investment in a foreign activity, including a hedge of a monetary item treated as part of the net investment, are treated similar to cash flow hedges. Gains or losses referring to the effective part of the hedging are charged to other comprehensive income, while profits or loss referring to the non-effective portion of the hedging are charged to gain/loss.

U. 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.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

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).

V. 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.

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.

W. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT LIABILITIES

The Group has several types of employee benefits:

1. Short-Term Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits are benefits that are expected to be cleared in full within 12 months after the end of the yearly reporting period in which the workers provide the referring services. Liabilities due to cash bonuses or profit-sharing programs are recognized when the Group has a legal or implied obligation to pay the sum in question for a service provided by the employee in the past and the sum may be reliably estimated.

2. Post-Employment Benefits

The programs are generally funded by insurance company deposits and are classified as defined deposit plans as well as defined benefit plans.

The Group has defined deposit plans in accordance with Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, according to which the Group makes regular payments while having no legal or implied obligation to make additional payments even if the plan has not

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

accumulated sufficient assets to pay for all employee benefits pertaining to the employee's service in the current period and in previous periods.

Deposits to a defined deposit plan for compensation or for remuneration are recognized as an expense while depositing to the plan concurrently with the receipt of the work services from the employee.

In addition, the Group operates a defined benefit plan for the payment of compensation in accordance with the Severance Pay Law. According to the law, employees are entitled to compensation upon dismissal or retirement. The severance pay liability is presented according to the actuarial value of the projected eligibility unit. The severance pay liability is presented according to the actuarial value of the projected eligibility unit.

X. 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.

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 course of 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 (hereinafter: the Vesting Period). The accumulated expenses recognized for transactions cleared using equity instruments at the end of any reporting date until the vesting date reflects the passage of the vesting period and the Group's best estimate as to the number of capital instruments that will eventually vest.

An expense for grants that do not eventually vest is not recognized, with the exception of grants the vesting of which depends on market conditions that are treated as grants vesting with no connection to the existence of market conditions, assuming that all of the other terms of the vesting (service and/or implementation) have been upheld.

When the Company makes changes to the conditions of a grant cleared using capital instruments, an additional expense is recognized past the original expense that was calculated for any change increasing the fair value of the remuneration granted or which benefits the employee/service provider according to the fair value on the date of change.

Cancellation of a grant cleared using a capital instrument is treated as though vested as of the cancellation date, and the unrecognized expense for the grant is recognized immediately. Nevertheless, if the canceled grant is replaced with a new grant and is intended to be a substitute grant as of the grant date, the canceled grant and new grant are both treated as a change of the original grant, as described above.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

Y. PROFIT (LOSS) PER SHARE

Profit (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to Company shareholders by the weighted number of ordinary shares existing in practice during the period.

Potential ordinary shares are included in the calculation of diluted profit (loss) per share when their impact dilutes the profit (loss) per share from ongoing activities. Potential ordinary shares that are converted during the period are included in diluted profit per share only until the conversion date, and from that date are included in basic profit (loss) per share. The Company's share of the profits (loss) of associates is calculated in accordance with its share of the profit (loss) per share of said associates, multiplied by the number of shares held by the Company.

Z. TREASURY SHARES

Company shares held by the Company and/or subsidiaries are measured at purchase cost and presented offset from Company equity. Any gain or loss deriving from the buying, selling, issuance or cancellation of treasury shares is charged directly to equity.

AA. 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. In such cases, the company recognizes revenues at the net sum of the compensation. In cases in which the company acts as agent, the company recognizes revenues at a net sum, after deducting the sums owed the primary supplier.

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. The company charges payment from its customers in accordance with the terms of payment agreed upon in specific agreements, with payments capable of taking place before the service period or after the service period, and accordingly, the company recognizes an asset or liability for the contract with the customer.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

Revenues from the development and construction of developed real estate in israel

The Company is active in the field of real estate in developing, building and selling residential apartments, offices and commercial space in Israel. Upon entering into a contact with a customer, the Company recognizes the housing units or offices as implementation liabilities.

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.

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. In order to implement the input method, the Company estimates the cost required to complete the project in order to determine the revenue sum recognized. These estimates include direct costs and indirect costs directly referring to the existence of the contract and allocated to each contract separately on the basis of a reasonable load index. In addition, when measuring the "completion rate", the Company does not include costs that do not reflect progress in implementation such as the cost of land, fees and surcharges and credit costs.

The Company sets the rate of progress according to which revenue is recognized in each sales contract as the rate of progress of the entire building or project as the case may be, so long as a delivery cannot be made of the asset covered by the agreement before construction of the building or project, as the case may be, has been completed in full.

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.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

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. 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.

Revenues from the Development and Construction of Developed Real Estate

The Company is active in the field of real estate in developing, building and selling residential apartments, offices and commercial space abroad. Upon entering into a contact with a customer, the Company recognizes the housing units or offices as implementation liabilities.

Regarding the Company's activity in the field of real estate development, the Company has reached the conclusion that on the basis of the laws, regulations and commercial characteristics of the companies in which it is active outside of Israel, control of property is transferred to the customer upon delivery of the apartment, in light of the fact that the Company and its legal counsel estimate that the contract cannot be enforced until the delivery of the apartment/office/commercial space and therefore revenues from the sale of the housing units, offices and commercial spaces abroad are recognized at a single point in time (upon delivery).

Contract Upholding Costs

The costs that arose to uphold a contract with the customer, or an expected contract with the customer, are presented as an asset when costs are expected to be recovered. Contract upholding costs include direct identified costs and indirect shared costs that can be attributed directly to a contract on the basis of a reasonable loading key. In cases in which a loss is expected in the project, it is charged to gain/loss immediately.

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.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company selected the possible relief according to the standard according to which it recognized incremental costs for securing a contract as an expense upon creation, when the property's amortization period, if sold, would have been shorter than one year.

Contractual Balances

The Company charges customers upon upholding the implementation commitments in accordance with the terms with the customers. These charges are presented under customers in the Balance Sheet. In cases in which revenues are charged to gain/loss due to an implementation commitment and before the customers are charged, the sums recognized are presented under contract assets/income receivable under receivables and debit balances. Sums received from customers before the Company upholds the implementation commitment are presented under contract obligations/unearned income from customers under receivables and debit balances and are recognized as revenues in gain/loss when the implementation commitment is upheld.

Transactions Carried Out in Credit

In some of the transactions the Company grants customers credit terms for a period longer than one year. In these cases, the Company recognizes income according to the sum reflecting the price the customer would have paid in cash upon receiving the goods or service, and the balance is charged under financing revenues.

In cases of the receipt of long-term advance payments for a future service provided by the Company, the Company accumulates interest and recognizes financing expenses for the advance payments over the course of the expected engagement period, when the contract features a material financing component. Upon realization of the advance payments, the Company recognizes interest accumulated as part of the services revenues.

The Company chose a possible relief according to the standard according to which it will not separate the credit component in transactions in which the credit terms are for a period shorter than one year and recognizes income in accordance with the sum of the proceeds set in the agreement even if the customer has paid on a later or earlier date than the date the goods or service were received.

BB. 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.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

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.

Deferred taxes are offset if a legitimate right exists to offset deferred tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes refer to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.

CC. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY – FIRST-TIME APPLICATION OF NEW FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS AND REVISIONS TO EXISTING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

  1. Amendment to IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment"

The IASB published an amendment to IAS 16 in May, 2020 (hereinafter – the Amendment). The Amendment prohibits the amortization of proceeds received from the sale of items prepared while the Company prepares the fixed assets for the use intended by its cost. In lieu of this, the Company shall recognize the proceeds of the sale and the associated costs in gain or loss.

This amendment was applied to yearly reporting periods starting January 1, 2022. The Amendment was applied retroactively, but only o fixed asset items brought to the location and state needed for them to operate in the manner intended by Management at the start of the earliest yearly reporting period presented on the financial statements to which the amendment is first applied.

The cumulative effect of initial application of the Amendment is recognized as adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other equity component, as applicable) at the start of the earliest period presented.

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

  1. Amendment to IAS 37 "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets"

In May, 2020, IASB published an amendment to IAS 37 on costs the Company needed to include when assessing whether a contract is an onerous contract (hereinafter: "the Amendment").

In accordance with the Amendment, this review should also include costs directly referring to the contract, including both incremental costs (such as raw materials and direct work hours) and the allocation of other costs directly connected to fulfilling the contract (such as depreciation of fixed assets and equipment used to fulfil the contract).

This amendment was applied to yearly reporting periods starting January 1, 2022. The Amendment applies to contracts for which all obligations have yet to be fulfilled as of January 1, 2022. When implementing the amendment, restating comparison numbers is not required, but rather adjustment of the opening balance of retained earnings upon initial application, equal to the cumulative effect of the Amendment.

Due to application of the Amendment, the Company includes both incremental costs and certain other costs in review whether a contract is onerous, whereas prior to the Amendment, the Company only included incremental costs in such review. Accordingly, the Company reviewed the effect of the Amendment on contracts for which all obligations have yet to be fulfilled as of January 1, 2022 and concluded that none of these are onerous contracts.

3. Revisions to IFRS 9, IFRS 7, IFRS 16, IFRS 4 and IFRS 39 on the Reform in IBOR Interest Rates

In August 2020 the IASB published amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, to IFRS 4 Insurance Contacts and IFRS 16 Leases (hereinafter – "the Amendments").

The Amendments provide practical relief dealing with the impact of accounting treatment of the Financial Statements when the benchmark interest rates (IBORs – Interbank Offered Rates) are replaced with risk-free interest rates (RFRs).

In accordance with one of the practical reliefs, the Company will handle contractual amendments or amendments to cash flows directly required as a result of implementation of the reform similar to the accounting treatment of changes in variable interest rates. In other words, a company needs to recognize the changes in interest rates by adjusting the effective interest rate without altering the book value of the financial instrument. Use of this practically relief is dependent on the fact that the change from IBOR to RFR occurs on the basis of equal economic conditions.

Likewise, in accordance with the amendments, under certain conditions, changes that will be made to designating the hedging and documentation as a result of the implementation of the IBOR will not lead to the discontinuation of the hedging

Note 2: – Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

ratios. Pursuant to the Amendments, a temporary practical relief was also given in connection with the implementation of hedge accounting pertaining to identifying the hedged risk as "identifiable separately."

Pursuant to the Amendments, disclosure requirements were added in connection with the impact of the expected reform on the Company's Financial Statements including reference to the manner in which the Company manages implementation of the interest reform, the risks it is exposed to as a result of the expected reform and quantitative disclosures pertaining to financial instruments at IBOR interest rates expected to change.

The Amendments are applied starting from the yearly periods starting January 1 2021 or subsequently. The Amendments are applied retrospectively, however, restatement of comparison numbers is not required.

The above Amendments have no material impact on the Company's Financial Statements.

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

In the process of applying its principal accounting policies to its Financial Statements, the Group has made the following judgments and taken the following considerations into account, which have the material effect on the sums recognized in the Financial Statements:

A. CONSIDERATIONS

Determining the Fair Value of Share-Based Payment Transactions

The fair value of share-based payment transactions is determined upon first recognition using a generally accepted option pricing model. The mode is based on share price data.

B. ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

When preparing the Financial Statements, management must use of estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported sums of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in accounting estimates are applied in the period in which the estimate was changed.

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:

- 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 asset. See further information in Note 2q.

  • 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 2l.

  • 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 which would allow them to 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. 2018-2020 International Standards Improvement Project

In May 2020 the IASB published certain amendments within the framework of the 2018- 2020 improvements project. The following is the key amendment referring to IFRS 9: The amendment to IFRS 9 clarifies which commissions the Company must include while preparing the "10 percent" test in Section 3.3.6 of IFRS 9, while examining whether the terms of a debt instrument amended or replaced are materially different from the original debt instrument.

This amendment was applied to yearly reporting periods starting January 1 2022 or subsequently. Earlier application is possible. The amendment was applied to the debt instrument amended or replaced starting from the year in which the amendment to the Standard was first implemented.

C. FAIR VALUE

When determining the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as much as possible. Fair value measurements are divided into three levels in the fair value scale based on the data used in the estimate, as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities.

Level 2: observable market data, direct or indirect, not included in Level 1 above. Level 3: data not based on observable market data.

The following table demonstrates the balance in the Financial Statements and the fair value of the groups of financial instruments that are presented in the Financial Statements not at fair value:

Sensitivity Tests and Principal Working Assumptions

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.
