c. The Effect of the Covid 19 Pandemic -

The Covid 19 pandemic in Israel and globally at the beginning of 2020, had significant economic implications. Many countries, including the State of Israel adopted drastic measures in an attempt to prevent the spread of the virus, which had a substantial effect on economic activity in Israel. The steps adopted also included closure of work places and diminishing activity in the economy.

In view of closure of the economy during the Covid 19 period, the Company adopted a number of direct actions, after it had examined the possible implications of the activity. On the one hand, the Company acted immediately to reduce the credit volumes initiatively and, simultaneously raise its interest margin, all this in order to reduce risks. Demands for credit remain stable and even increased, but, potentially, there was a certain increase in requests from drawers and customers for extending the repayment dates of the liabilities, when, in certain cases, the Company active deliberative the in each and every case, to extend and facilitate matters for drawers and customers in relation to repayments. These actions enabled the Company's customers to meet their commitments vis-à-vis it and to hedge risks during this period. In the reports period there was a substantial decrease in the morbidity rates in Israel in view of administering inoculations to the general adult population in Israel. Most of the restrictions that had been imposed were removed and the economy began to recover, which was also noticeable among the Company's customers.

As at the date of this report, alleviations are being considered for the economy As at the date of publishing this report, the spread of the Covid 19 virus had no material and direct effect on the Company's operations. However, the Company's Executive cannot estimate and quantify the effect of continuance of a renewed spread of the virus on future results of its business operations.

The Group's accounting treatment of the combinations of businesses is executed using the purchase method. The consideration that is transferred for acquiring a subsidiary (hereinafter – the acquired company) is calculated as the sum of the fair value of the assets transferred by the Group, the liabilities created for the Group vis-à-vis the previous owners of the acquired company and the capital rights issued by the Group. The transferred consideration includes the fair value of each asset or liability, which derive as a result of the conditional consideration arrangement. Costs relating to the acquisition are recognized in profit or loss on their capitalization. The identifiable assets that were acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities that the Group accepted in the framework of combining businesses (apart from certain exceptions detailed in the International Financial Reporting Standard 3 "Combinations of Businesses" (amended)); (hereinafter – IFRS 3R) are first measured at their fair value on the date of the acquisition.

This determination was made separately for each transaction.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Changes following the fair value of the construct additional consideration, which is classified as an asset or liability, are recognized, pursuant to International Reporting Standard 9 "Financial Instruments" (hereinafter – IFRS 9) in profit or loss. A conditional consideration classified as capital is not really valued and its following the disposal will be treated in the framework of capital.

Loans extended to an affiliate constitute a part of the investment in it and are presented together in the statement on the financial position in the framework of an investment in an affiliate company.

The Company's share in the losses of the affiliate company, to which the loans were extended, which exceed the investment in the shares of that affiliate company, is entered pursuant to the rate of the loans that were extended by the Company from the sum of the loans that were extended to the affiliated company by all the Shareholders. See Note 11 for additional details.

i. Financial assets

a. Classification:

The Group classifies its financial asset into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification is dependent on the business model in which the financial assets are held and the contractual conditions of the cash flows for them.

For assets valued at fair value, changes in the fair value will be recognized in profit or loss.The Group re-classifies the financial assets that are debt instruments, only when there has been a change in its business model for managing the financial assets.

1) Financial liabilities at an amortized cost

Financial assets at an amortized cost are financial assets that are held in the framework of a business model, the purpose of which is to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and their contractual conditions provide eligibility, on defined dates, to the cash flows that are only principal and interest payments for the unpaid principal sum.

The financial assets at amortized costs of the Group are included in the entries: "Accounts receivable," "cash and cash equivalents" and "credit to customers, net."

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 - The Principles of the Accounting Policy (continued):

b. Recognition and evaluation

The acquisition and sale in the regular manner of financial assets are recorded in the Group's books on the date of binding the transaction, which is the date on which the Group undertakes to acquire or sell the asset. The investments were initially recognized in the fair value with the addition of the transaction costs, for all the financial assets that are not valued at fair value through profit or loss, apart from to customers. Financial assets that are valued at fair value through profit and loss are initially recognized and the transaction expenses are entered to profit or loss. Financial assets are removed when the rights to receive cash flows from them expire or are transferred and the Group materially transferred all the risks and benefits for the ownership of those assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit including other and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are valued in the following periods at fair value. Financial assets at amortized cost are valued in the following periods at the amortized cost, on the basis of the effective interest method.

Profits or losses, deriving from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are presented in profit or loss in the framework of "financing revenues or expenses" in the period in which they originated.

c. Decline in the value of financial assets

The Group recognize the provision for a loss for anticipated credit losses on financial assets that are debt instruments valued at the amortized cost.

On each date of the statement on the financial position, the Group examines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of the financial asset from the date of its initial recognition, on an individual or group basis. To this purpose, the Group compares the risk for the occurrence of failure in the financial instrument on the date of report with the risk for the occurrence of failure in the financial instrument on the date of its initial recognition, while taking all the reasonable information that can be established, including forward-looking information, into account.

The group measures the provision for loss in a sum equivalent to the anticipated credit losses throughout the lifespan of an instrument for financial assets in which there has been a significant rise in the credit risk since their initial recognition date. Otherwise, the provision for losses will be measured at the sum equivalent to the anticipated credit losses in a 12-month period. The contractual credit differentials sum (or the cancellation) is recognized in profit or loss in the framework of "profits (losses) from a decline in the value of financial assets and assets for contracts with customers – net."

The Group assumes that the credit risk will not rise substantially from the date of their initial recognition for financial instruments with low credit risks.

j. Share capital

The Company's Ordinary Shares are classified in capital.

k. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, short-term deposits in banking corporations, other short-term deposits with high liquidity and a deposit period that does not exceed 3 months.

l. Current and deferred taxes

The tax expenses for the reported years include both current and deferred taxes. Taxes are recognized in the comprehensive statement on profits.

The sum entered as current taxes is calculated on the basis of the taxation laws that were legislated or the legislation of which was completed in practice at the date of the statement on the financial position, in the countries in which the Company operates and produced taxable income. Every period, the Company Executive examines the tax aspects applicable to its taxable income for tax purposes, pursuant to the relevant tax laws and creates a provision pursuant to the anticipated sums for payment to the tax authorities.

The Company recognizes deferred taxes on the liability method for temporary differences between the sums of the assets and liabilities, included in the financial statements and the sums that will be taken into account for tax purposes. The deferred taxes sum is established pursuant to the tax rates (and the tax laws) that were legislated or the legislation of which was completed in practice as at the date of the statement on the financial position and that are expected to apply when the deferred taxes assets are recognized or when the deferred taxes liabilities are settled.

Recognition of the deferred taxes assets is executed for the deductible temporary differences for tax purposes within the limits of the sum of the provisions, the exploitation of which can be expected in the future against taxable incomes.

Deferred taxes assets and liabilities are set off only if:

  • There is an enforceable legal right to set off current taxes against current tax liabilities;
  • And the deferred taxes assets and liabilities related to taxes on income that are imposed by that Tax Authority on that text entity or on various text entities, which intend settling the balances on a net basis.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 - The Principles of the Accounting Policy (continued):

m. Government grants

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable confidence that the grants will be received and the Company will comply with all the conditions for receiving the grant.

Government grants that were received from the National Authority for Technological Innovation in Israel (hereinafter – "the Innovation Authority"), for support of the research and development operations, which include a commitment to payments and royalties to the state that are conditional on executing future sales deriving from the development, are recognized on the date of the receipt as a liability, if economic benefits are expected as an expense from the research operations which will result in sales that entitle the state to royalties, according to their fair value. If, on the date of receiving the grants no economic benefits are expected as aforementioned, the grants are credited to profit or loss as a reduction of research and development expenses.

In the event in which the liability is not recognized on the date of receiving the grants, on each reporting date, the Company examines whether, on that date, there is reasonable confidence that economic benefits are expected from the research and development and, if positive, it recognizes the appropriate liability that reflects the fair value of the anticipated royalties payments and, simultaneously recognizes the research and development expense.

The sums paid as royalties are recognized as settling the liability. Grants received from the Chief Scientist for a refund of research and development expenses, are recognized in the profit and loss statement as a refund of expenses in the suitable entry.

n. Fixed assets

The useful lifespan, depreciation method and residual value of each asset are examined at least at the end of each year and the changes are treated as accounting estimate changes in the manner of from now on. Reducing the assets is stopped at the earlier between the date on which the asset is classified as held for sale and the date on which the asset is removed

o. Other assets

Research expenses are recognized as an expense at the time of their creation. Expenses that are created for development projects (real late to design an examination of new products or improvements) are recognized as intangible assets when the following conditions exist:

  • There is a technical feasibility for completing the intangible asset, so that it will be available for use;

  • The Executive intends completing the intangible asset for use or sale;

  • The intangible asset can be used or sold;
  • The manner in which the intangible asset will produce economic anticipated future economic benefits can be illustrated;
  • Suitable-technical, financial and other resources –available for completing the development for the use or sale of an intangible asset; and
  • The cost that can be attributed to the intangible asset during its development can be evaluated reliably.

Other development expenses that do not comply with these conditions are recognized as an expense at the time of their creation. The development costs that were recognized in the past as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a later period. Development costs that were capitalized are presented as intangible assets and are amortized from the point in time in which the asset is available for use, i.e. When it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be operated as the Executive intended, pursuant to the straight-line method over its useful lifespan

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 - The Principles of the Accounting Policy (continued):

As a part of a merger transaction in 2018, the Company has 2 major intangible assets that are attributed to technology and intellectual property in development. In view of the sale of one of the assets in the Nextgen transaction in 2020 (see Note 9) Company has remained with one intangible asset.

p. Value decline of non-financial assets

Assets with an undefined useful lifespan, such as goodwill and intangible assets that are still not available for use, are not amortized and their value decline is examined once a year. The value decline of other non-financial assets are examined, if there have been events or changes in the circumstances that indicate the fact that their book value is irrecoverable. In addition, see Section 15

The loss sum recognized for the value decline is equal to the sum in which the book value of the asset rises over its recoverable sum. The recoverable sum of the asset is the higher between the fair value of the asset less the sales costs and its usage value. For the purposes of examining the value decline, the assets are divided into lower levels, for which there are separate identifiable cash flows (cash yielding units). Non-financial assets, apart from goodwill, the values of which have declined, are examined for the purposes of identifying a possible cancellation of the value decline that was recognized for them on each date in the statement on the financial position. For the purposes of examining a value decline of the Company's intangible assets, every period, the company was assisted by an external and independent appraiser, who performed the fair value evaluations for one asset (which was realized during 2020) using the income approach and in a specific manner in the "surplus profits capitalization" method and for the second asset in the income approach in a specific manner in the "exemption from royalties" method. A derived value comparison in valuing the balance in the financial statements, indicates that there is a need for performing amortization for a value decline. See Note 9 for additional details..

q. Share-based payment

The Group activates a number of programs for share-based payments to employees, who are paid with the Company's capital instruments, in which the Group receives services from employees in consideration for the capital instruments (options) of the Group's Companies. The fair value of the services received from the employees in consideration for granting the options is recognized as an expense in the profit or loss statement. The total sum entered as an expense is determined while relating to the fair value of the options that were granted:

  • While taking the execution conditions, which are market conditions into account (for example, the entity's share price).
  • Without taking the effects of the service conditions and non-market vesting conditions into account (for example, meeting profitability and sales targets continuing work with the Company for a specific period) and
  • Taking into account the effect of any conditions whatsoever that are not maturity conditions (for example, a demand from employees to save).

r. Trade payables

Trade payables include the Group's commitments to pay for merchandise or services that were acquired from suppliers during regular business. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities when the payment is supposed to be made within one year or less (or during the regular operational cycle of the business, if it should be longer than a year), otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and afterwards they are valued at the amortized cost, based on the effective interest method.

s. Complex financial instruments

Complex financial instruments that were issued by the Company include unindexed bonds specified in the Company's operational currency and which are convertible into a fixed number of Ordinary Shares of the Company according to the holder's choice. Therefore, the conversion option constitutes a capital component.

The liability component of a complex financial instrument is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability, which does not include a conversion option. The capital component is recognized initially by subtracting the fair value of the financial liability from the fair value of the complex financial instrument in its entirety. Direct transaction costs are allocated to the liability component and the capital component according to the proportion of the initial value at which they are recognized. After the initial recognition, the liability component of the complex instrument is valued at an

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 - The Principles of the Accounting Policy (continued):

amortized cost using the effective interest method. The capital component of the complex instrument is not revalued during the following periods, apart from when converting the complex instrument or on its expiry

t. Recognition of Revenues

Recognition of revenues for commercial transactions in deferred receivables is according to the effective interest method. I.e., the interest calculated according to this method for the proportionate part that has accrued since the date of the commercial transaction in receivables up to the end of the reporting period. The revenue is recognized, as aforementioned, when the consideration is expected and can be estimated reliably.

u. Research and development

Expenses relating to research operations executed with the goal of acquiring new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding are entered to profit and loss on their creation.

v. Earnings per share

Calculating the basic earnings per share is, as a rule, based on earnings that are distributable to the Ordinary Share Holders (earnings less preferred dividends and accrued interest that is attributed to the preference shareholders), which are distributed on the weighted average of the existing number of Ordinary Shares in the cycle.

w. Transactions with a controlling shareholder

Assets and liabilities for which a transaction was executed with a controlling shareholder are valued according to the fair value at the time of the transaction.

In view of the fact that reference is to a transaction on the capital plane, the Group credits the difference between the fair value and the consideration from the transaction to capital.

x. Standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that are still not in force and that the Company has not chosen their advance application:

1. Amendment to IAS 1, Presenting the Financial Statements: Classifying current or non-current liabilities (hereinafter - "the amendment")

The amendment replaces certain classification requirements of liabilities as current or non-current. Thus, for example, pursuant to the amendment, a liability must be classified as non-current when the entity has a right to defer payment to a period of at least 12 months after the reporting period, which is of substance and that exists to the end of the reporting period, despite the demand for a right that is "unconditional." Pursuant to the amendment, the right only exists on the reporting date if the entity complies with the conditions for deferring payment as at that date. Furthermore, the amendment clarifies that the right of converting the liability will affect the classification of the instrument in its entirety as current or non-current, unless the conversion component is capital. The amendment must be implemented in the reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2024 with an option for early implementation. The amendment must be implemented retrospectively, including amendment of the comparative figures. The Group has not yet commenced examining the implications of implementing the amendment on its financial statements.

3. Amendment to IFRS 3, combinations of businesses (hereinafter -"the amendment")

This amendment replaces the requirement to recognize liabilities in combinations of businesses pursuant to the conceptual framework. This is because the interaction between these instructions and the instructions established in IAS 37 regarding recognition of the liabilities was not clear in certain cases.

This amendment adds an exception to the principle of recognition of liabilities in IFRS 3. Pursuant to the exception, contingent liabilities will be recognized pursuant to the requirements of IAS 37 and IFRIC 21 and not pursuant to the conceptual framework. This amendment avoids spreads in timing the recognition of the liabilities which was likely to cause profits and losses immediately after combining the businesses (day 2 gain or loss). The amendment also clarifies that contingent assets will not be recognized on the date of combining the businesses. The amendment will come into force in the reporting period commencing as of January 1, 2022 or thereafter. The Group is examining the implications of the amendment on its financial statements without any intention for advance implementation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 - The Principles of the Accounting Policy (continued):

Amendment to IAS 12 Taxes on Income: Deferred tax relating to assets and liabilities deriving from a transaction

The amendment diminishes the incidents of the exemption from recognition of deferred taxes as a result of temporary provisions that were created on the date of the initial recognition of the assets and/or liabilities, so that the aforementioned exemption shall not apply to transactions that create temporary equal and setting off differences.

As a result, entities are required to recognize a deferred tax asset or liability for these temporary differences on the date of initial recognition of the transactions that create the temporary equal and setting off differences, for example lease transactions and provisions for dissolution and rehabilitation.

The amendment must be implemented as of the annual reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2023, by amending the opening balance of the surpluses were as adjusted to another capital entry during the period in which the amendment as aforementioned was adopted. Early implementation is possible. According to the Company, the amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

Note 3 – Material Estimates and Considerations:

The estimates and considerations are tested perpetually and are based on past experience and additional factors, including expectations in relation to future events, which are considered to be reasonable, in light of the existing circumstances.

a. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group formulated estimates and assumptions regarding the future. By nature, it is rare for the accounting estimates that are made to be identical to the actual related results. The estimates and the assumptions in respect of which there is a significant risk of making significant adjustments in the book values the assets and the liabilities during the following financial year, are detailed below,

The fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

The fair values of financial instruments, which are not traded in an active market are determined using evaluation methods. The Group exercises judgment, for the purpose of selecting the various evaluation methods and for the purpose of making assumptions, which are based primarily on existing market conditions on each date of the statement on the financial position. The Group used an analysis of the discounted cash flows in order to determine the fair value of a range of financial assets, which are measured at fair value and which are not traded in an active market.

b. Considerations having a significant impact on the implementation of the corporation's accounting policies

1) Provisions for credit losses

As a part of the Company's regular business procedure, there is a risk regarding the chances of collecting the debts and deployment regarding the timing of collecting the sum to be collected. When there is an indication to the fact that difficulty in collecting the credit that was extended to the Group's customers, is expected, the Company records a provision for credit losses. In addition to a specific provision and reliant on past experience, the Company records a general provision for credit losses, see Note 6 as well.

2) Deferred taxes

Recognition of a deferred tax asset in respect of losses for tax purposes, which is based on the Company Executive's expectations of taxable profits in the future, against which it will be possible to exploit the losses that are carried down.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 4 - Financial instruments and financial risk management :

Financial risk management

Financial risk factors

The Group's operations expose it to a range of risks, for example: Market, credit and liquidity risks.

The Group's risks management policy is intended to examine and trace the risks facing the Group, to provide an appropriate response to the risks and define controls that would ensure supervision of those risks and which would diminish the negative effects on the Group's financial results.

This policy is reviewed routinely, in order to verify that the policy has been adapted to financial changes occurring in the markets.

The Credit Committee is responsible for risk management, pursuant to the policy approved by the Company Executive and Board of Directors. The risk array that the Company adopts is uniform in relation to all of the customers.

After identifying and assessing the financial risks by the Credit Committee, a modus operandi is adopted in accordance with the outline of principles formulated by the Company's Executive regarding credit and interest risks.

1) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as a change in interest rates or preliminary information on negative developments in the market, will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings. The purpose of market risk management is to manage and control exposure to market risks in the framework of conventional parameters.

The major market risk to which the Group is exposed is the interest risk. The interest risk is the risk of damage to the Company's profits and equity capital as a result of interest rate changes. The Company receives credit from financial institutions and banking corporations on a significant scale. Inter alia, the cost of the aforementioned credit is affected by the level of the Bank of Israel's (BoI) benchmark interest rate.

A BoI benchmark interest rate decline would increase the margin, while an interest rate hike would cut the margin.

The Company believes that, the BoI benchmark rate will remain unchanged for a lengthy period and, accordingly, its exposure to such situations is immaterial.

2) Credit risk

The main credit risk facing the Company operating in this field is the credit risk, which could be caused because a borrower is unable to meet his obligations vis-à-vis the Company.

The book value of the financial assets is the amount that best represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.

The Group minimizes risks by managing a setup that enables a professional examination of a customer and the collateral that he presents to it, stringent distribution of the risks in the credit portfolio, assimilation of customer absorption procedures and examining the nature of the transactions.

The Group's experience, accumulated over the years in all regarding the manner of examining customers and regular controls over the Company's credit portfolio, enable it to minimize the risks when absorbing customers, who might not be able to repay the financing.

Both the Company's new customer absorption procedure and the examination of the borrower's solidity for the purpose of extending the financing are stringent. The Company does not engage with customers whose settlement ability is not sufficiently high. Thus, in most cases, the customers' identity is that of reliable customers with financial strength that is known to the Company already prior to the engagement period.

As a condition for the receipt of a loan from the Company, the borrower undertakes to furnish the Company with post-dated checks of the customer, pursuant to what has been established in the agreement between the parties, except for a loan to a related party – see Note 6a. In certain cases, the borrower undertakes to furnish personal checks of the guarantors at the level of their guarantees.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 4 - Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued):

As a condition for the receipt of credit against deferred receivables, the borrower undertakes to furnish the Company with checks, the value of which is equivalent to the level of the loan and the interest that the Company collects for the loan. Since the checks are in the borrower's name, the borrower is required to sign a personal guarantee for the settlement of the checks.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group's approach is to guarantee to the extent possible its compliance with the credit facilities. Compliance with the credit facilities is essential in order to ensure that there are sufficient funds for the operational needs of the Group, without deviating from its credit facilities.

The Group's forecasts for using the cash at its disposal include an examination of its needs, compliance with certain liquidity ratios and compliance with the regulatory conditions and additional legal requirements

K.M.B.Y. specializes in extending extra-banking loans to small and medium scale businesses, associations and institutions, which are budgeted by government financing, which belong primarily to the Ultra-Orthodox sector.

Since 2018, K.M.B.Y. has been operating in a limited format.

K.M.B.Y. holds a basic license for extending credit, which was granted by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings, which is valid until December 2026.

b) Pancrea Tech Ltd.

The Company operates through the subsidiary company Pancrea-Tech Ltd. (hereinafter: "Pancrea") in the biomed – drug development field.

Pancrea is a private start-up company, which deals in the research and development of a drug in the Type 1 diabetes field and certain types of cancer, using unique technology and know-how. The Group is not a guarantor for Pancrea's losses beyond its investment.

Information regarding considerations and assumptions for determining control of Pancrea

As at December 31, 2021, the Company holds 62.1% of Pancrea's issued and paid up share capital. The remaining 37.9% of the issued and paid up capital is held by various Shareholders, when 24.1% of them are held by the founding family. In an agreement between the Company and its Shareholders, a list of events for which adapting decisions necessitates approval of a majority of the Shareholders and events for which only the Board of Directors' approval is required, was established. The events requiring approval of the majority of the Shareholders include a change in Pancrea's share capital which would result in diluting the rights that do not impart control and/or an issuance of other securities, authorization for acquiring or realizing operations or assets in substantial volumes, the decision on a material change in the nature of the operations and approval of a transaction that deviates from Pancrea's normal business course.

The Group believes that these instructions impart rights that do not impart control over the ability to influence transactions or events that deviate from the normal course of business and, therefore, constitute protection of the rights that do not impart control which do not prevent the continued control of the Group in Pancrea. Under the aforementioned circumstances, the Group has reached the conclusion that Pancrea is controlled by it and, as such, it is consolidated in its financial statements.

Within the framework of the Company's Board of Directors' meeting on July 16, 2018, inter alia it was resolved that the Group should make an approach to the shareholders of Pancrea-Tech Ltd. that they participate in accordance with their relative holdings in Pancrea in an internal round of fund raising amounting to USD 250,000, required for realizing a part of Pancrea's research and development operations. It was further resolved that if the additional shareholders do not participate in accordance with their holdings rates, then the Group will finance the research and development operations against increasing its holdings of Pancrea-Tech shares.

As of the date of the signing of the financial statements, only one shareholder has agreed to participate in accordance with he is holding rate, in an amount of a few thousand dollars.

Based on this budget, the Company is continuing the development operations within a budgetary framework of USD 20,000, which at this stage, has been approved, within the framework of a decision by the Company, in June 2019, to reduce the investments in companies in the biomed field and the investment in Pancrea Tech has also been reduced.

The Company intends to take short-term loans from banking corporations and on Call loans linked to the prime interest rate.

Furthermore, the Company deposits checks for custody at a rate of 150%-200% of the usage of the credit facilities – see Notes 13b and 16c.

rate of 5%. The difference between these interest rates and the market interest-rate is entered to capital reserve. On October 21, 2018, a Shareholders Meeting approved an engagement in a framework agreement with the controlling shareholders in the framework of which the Group would receive credit from the controlling shareholder or from entities or individuals associated with them, provided that the credit that will be extended to the Group, would be extended under market conditions and, at the least under conditions that third parties, who are not associated with the controlling shareholders in the Group extended credit.

The loan principal will bear annual interest at a rate of 6.4%. This interest rate does not deviate from the current conventional interest rates in the market. Furthermore, the Company will make a one-time payment of 2.5% of the balance of the loan to I.B.I. for setting up the loan. Both the interest and one-time payments for setting up the loan were paid immediately on signing the agreement. The Company will repay the loan principal in five equal payments of NIS 600 thousand commencing from the 8th months after the date of extending the loan principal.

As collateral for the full repayment of the loan principal, the Company has provided the following guarantees: (1) A check for 120% of the loan that was extended (2) encumbrances of the controlling shareholder's shares in the sum of the loan) 3) a personal guarantee of the controlling shareholders (4) a promissory note from a related company. During 2021, the full loan was repaid.

On January 31, 2021, the Company's subsidiary, Erech Loans Cahalaha Ltd., ("the subsidiary") signed an agreement for receiving a credit line of NIS 10 million ("the credit line") from a financial entity not associated with the Company, which will serve the subsidiary for expanding its operations in the extra-banking financing field. This credit line will bear annual interest at a rate that does not deviate from the current conventional interest rates in the market and the interest will not be linked to the Index or to any currency whatsoever. The Company provided collateral in favor of the financing entity as is conventional in similar agreements, which, inter alia, includes providing personal guarantees of the controlling shareholders in favor of the Company, without them being entitled to receive any consideration of any kind and type whatsoever from the Company.

Pursuant to the aforementioned agreement, debts of expert customers are not by way of a final and absolute assignment, so that the Company did not transfer the full risks and benefits deriving from the ownership of the debts that were assigned. Therefore, the debts of the customers were not subtracted and a current financial liability is recognized at a level of the cash received for them. As at December 31, 2021 the aforementioned liability was included in the credit from related parties and others entry.
