It is further noted that in the estimation of the CPV Group, additional factors that impact the development activities include, among others: obtaining sufficient control over the lands; the ability to connect to the electricity grid at a strategic connection point at a low connection cost; obtaining the permits required for construction of new projects, including compliance with all the environmental requirements; and the ability to raise sufficient debt and equity for construction of new projects.
23 In general, the CPV Group views projects that in its estimation are in a period of up to two years or up to three years to the start of the construction as projects in the advanced development stage (as stated above there is no certainty the development projects, including projects in the advanced stage, will be executed). It is noted that that stated depends on the scope of the project and the technology, and could change based on specific characteristics of a certain project, as well as from external circumstances that are relevant to a certain project. It is clarified that in the early development stages, the scope of the projects and their characteristics are subject to changes, if and to the extent they reach advanced stages.
24 All the capacities in the solar technology are denominated in MWdc. The capacities in the solar technology projects in the advanced development stages and in the early development stages are about 910 MWac and about 725 MWac, respectively.
As at the publication date of this report, the Company estimates that part of the costs stemming from the delay in the commercial operation date of the Hadera Power Plant, including lost profits, are expected to be covered by Hadera's insurance policy pursuant to the terms of the said policy. In addition, in accordance with the construction agreement and based on the position of its legal advisors, Hadera is entitled to agreed-to compensation (limited to the ceiling stipulated in the construction agreement) from the construction contractor in respect of a delay in the delivery date and compensation (limited in amount up to a ceiling stipulated in the construction agreement) in a case of non-compliance with the conditions provided in the agreement relating to the plant's performances. It is noted that the construction contractor has contentions that, among other things, Hadera has no grounds for charging it for the amounts stipulated in the agreement in respect of the delay and the plant's performances, as well as a contention that it is permitted to renew the guarantee it provided at a reduced amount. On May 26, 2021, a notification letter was received regarding a dispute from the construction contractor prior to taking legal action wherein the construction contractor contends that, among other things (1) Hadera has no ground for charging it for the amounts stipulated in the construction agreement relating to delay of the operation, and that the offset made by the Company from the payments due to the construction contractor, as stated below, deviates from the agreement; (2) Hadera has no ground for charging it for the amounts stipulated relating to the plant's performances; (3) the construction contractor has contentions regarding entitlement to additional consideration, in the amount of about €7 million, in excess of the consideration provided in the agreement (these claims were rejected by the Company, except with respect to an amount that is not material); and (4) absent a right on the part of Hadera, as contended by the contractor, to additional compensation for the delay and for the plant's performances as well as for other reasons it is entitled to reduce the bank guarantee it provided (which is valid up to the beginning of July 2021) from 20% of the amount of the aggregate consideration to 5% of the amount of the aggregate consideration. As also noted by the construction contractor in the warning letter, Hadera disputes the contentions of the construction contractor and, as stated, these contentions were rejected by it prior to receipt of the warning letter. As part of the warning letter, the contractor noted the timetables stipulated in the agreement for a response to the warning letter and agreed to extend the existing bank guarantee in the amount of 20% of the amount of the consideration by one month only – this being without detracting from its contentions in the aforesaid warning letter.
25 That stated with reference to the Company's estimates of the duration of the additional work, includes "forward-looking" information, as defined in the Securities Law. The aforesaid information may not be realized, or may be realized in a manner different than expected, including as a result of reasons that are not under the Company's control, such as the manner of performance of the work by the contractor, technical breakdowns or other delays, including factors impacted by the Coronavirus crisis.
As noted Hadera rejects the construction contractor's contentions and is considering its steps as a result of the notification of the contractor, as stated, with its legal advisors.
As at the publication date of the report, no reimbursements have actually been received under the Company's insurance policy and/or compensation from the construction contractor (except for amount unilaterally offset by the Company from payments to the construction contractor, and the construction contractor has raised contentions regarding this matter in the above-mentioned notification). For details regarding compensation for the construction contractor – see Note 25D to annual consolidated financial statements for 2020. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to receive reimbursements and/or compensation in respect the full amount of its direct and indirect damages26 .
Further to that stated in Sections 8.5.1.2 and 8.5.3.1 to Part A of the Periodic Report for 2020, it is noted that as at the publication date of the report, the factory of Hadera Paper Mills had not yet been connected to the Hadera Power Plant, and as at that date there is no certainty regarding the completion date of the connection. Hadera is taking action with Hadera Paper Mills in this regard. Completion of the connection depends on, among other things, technical and operational factors and if the connection is not successfully completed, there could be an adverse impact on Hadera.
Due to the delay in supply of the gas from the Karish reservoir compared with the original date, Rotem and Hadera will be required to acquire the quantity of gas it had planned to acquire from Energean for purposes of operation of the power plants at the present gas prices, which are provided in the agreements of Rotem and Hadera with Tamar and which are higher than the price stipulated in the Energean agreement. The delays in the commercial operation date of Energean and, in turn, a delay in supply of the gas from the Karish reservoir will have an unfavorable impact on the Company's profits. In this context it is noted that in the agreements with Energean compensation limited in amount for delays has been provided, as stated, the amount of which depends on the reasons for the delay, where the limit with respect to the compensation in a case where the damages caused is "force majeure" (in accordance with that stated in the agreement) is lower. Nonetheless, the damages (including lost profits) that will be caused to the Company stemming from a delay could well exceed the amount of the said compensation. As at the publication date of the report, Energean contends that the source of the delay is force majeure. The Company rejects Energean's contentions that a force majeure event is involved under the gas acquisition agreement with Energean.27

26 It is emphasized that that stated above, including regarding the Company's estimates with respect to coverage of the costs stemming from the delay, as stated above (including lost profits) and receipt of compensation for the delay damages and/or non-compliance with the plant's performances as provided in the agreement, includes "forward-looking" information, as defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the Company's estimates as at the publication date of the Report, and regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized. That stated may not be realized or may be realized in a manner different than expected. As a practical matter, if compensation is not received for all of the costs and/or damages (direct and/or indirect) in connection with the delay in completion of the construction and the commercial operation and/or regarding non-compliance with the plant's performances as provided in the agreement, this could have an adverse impact on the Company's results and activities. For additional details regarding the risk factors involved with construction projects, including Hadera – see Section 20.3 of Part A (Description of the Company's Business) in the Periodic Report for 2020.
27 That stated above, regarding the commercial operation date of the Karish reservoir, and regarding supply of the gas to the Company and the acquisition terms of gas in the case of a delay, includes "forward-looking" information as defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the data received by the Company from Energean as at the submission date of this report and additional publicly-available data, and there is no certainty it will materialize. Ultimately, the expected impact on the project timetables or a delay in the operation date of the Karish reservoir may be delayed beyond the estimated time, and he impacts on the Company could be more than that stated above – this being due to factors that are not under the Company's control. In addition, there is no certainty regarding the amount of the compensation that will be received in respect of the delay (if any), which may not cover the full amount of the Company's damages.
Further to that stated in Section 8.2.5B of Part A (Description of the Company's Business) of the Periodic Report for 2020 regarding National Infrastructure Plan 94 (NIP 94), a plan for construction of a power plant for generation of electricity using natural gas on land adjacent to Rotem, that is, AGS (hereinafter in this Section – "NIP 94"), in January 2021, the Subcommittee for Comments and Objections of the National Planning and Building Board for National Infrastructures held a discussion of comments and objections significant NIP 94, the objections to the Plan were rejected and AGS was requested to make technical corrections to the provisions of the said plan, which were made in the beginning of March 2021. Approval of NIP 20B and NIP 94 (if approved) is subject to final approval of the National Infrastructures Committee in accordance with the above decision of the National Council and the National Infrastructures Committee, and approval to take effect of the Government of Israel.
28 Further to that stated in Section 7.8.1 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) in the Periodic Report for 2020, regarding the Government's decision to advance renewable energy and decisions of the National Council and the Committee for National Infrastructures, it is noted that as at the submission date of the report there is no certainty regarding receipt of the approvals for the National Infrastructure Plans and completion of the necessary actions in connection with advancement of the projects the Company is advancing on the areas located adjacent to the Hadera Power Plant and the Rotem Power Plant.

As at the publication date of the report, the Coronavirus Crisis had not had a significant impact on the Company's results and activities in Israel. In light of the uncertainty regarding the duration of the Coronavirus crisis, the intensity thereof and its impacts on the markets and factors relating the Company's activities (such as, employees, significant customers, significant suppliers, lenders, etc.), as well as the uncertainty regarding the measures that will be taken by governments and central banks, as at the publication date of the report, the Company is not able to estimate with any certainty the full impact of the Coronavirus Crisis on the Company. Spread of the virus and infections at the Company's power plants and other sites, continuation of the Coronavirus Crisis for an extended period, a significant impact of the Coronavirus Crisis on main suppliers (such as, suppliers of natural gas, construction and maintenance contractors, etc.) or the Group's main customers, could have an unfavorable impact on the Company's activities and results, as well as on its ability to complete construction projects on time or at all and/or on its ability to execute future projects. Nonetheless, the Company is continuing to take steps in order to ensure the health and safety of its employees in all of the Company's facilities and offices, to maintain the level of activities in all its various facilities in and outside of Israel, and to reduce the potential impact of the pandemic on its business. For additional details regarding the Coronavirus Crisis and its possible impact on the Company in Israel – see Note 1B to the Interim Statements. For details regarding the impact of the Coronavirus Crisis (according to the contentions of Energean) on the date of the flow of the gas from Karish Tanin reservoir – see Section 4 above.
It is noted that the activities of the Company's active power plants in Israel, as well as the construction activities of the Zomet Power Plant, are continuing in the restrictions' period since they are deemed to be essential activities while preparing the work teams and taking safety measures to prevent infections and outbreaks at the Company's sites. The continuity of the construction work on the Zomet Power Plant or the renovation work at the Hadera Power Plant could be impacted by the traffic (movement) limitations due to the Coronavirus Crisis in light of the need for arrival of equipment and foreign work teams.

16. On March 31, 2021, the President of the United States presented a proposal the target of which is construction of clean energy infrastructures. The proposal addresses many sectors in the U.S. economy, including energy infrastructures. This part of the proposal focuses on expansion of renewable energy generation facilities by means of "refundable tax credits" 32 and a clean energy standard. In addition, the proposal includes financing for transmitting electricity and energy infrastructures that support generation of renewable energy and cancellation of tax benefits for generation and transmission of fossil fuels. As at the publication date of the report, there is uncertainty regarding signing of the proposal in order for it to become law, and if it does ultimately become law, there will likely by significant changes to the provisions thereof. To the extent the proposal does ultimately become law, it will probably have a material impact on the demand for electricity by means of advancement of reduced-carbon transportation and economy concurrent with raising the standards for generation of electricity using clean energy.33
31 That stated regarding the impacts of the natural gas prices on the profitability of the CPV Group is "forward-looking" information, which is based on estimates of the CPV Group in accordance with the characteristics of its activities on the publication date of the report only, and there is no certainty it will be realized.
32 It is noted that an arrangement as stated (to the extent it is determined and subject to final arrangements) is expected to permit renewable energy projects to enjoy the tax benefits with no need for a Tax Equity partner.
33 The Company's estimate, as stated above, regarding changes in the area of activities constitutes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the Company's estimates as at the publication date of the report only and on publicly-known data and which is dependent and contingent on various factors. Accordingly, the said information may not be realized or may be realized in a manner significantly different than described above as a result of various matters that are not under the Company's control.

The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (losses) before depreciation and amortization, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, net financing expenses or income and taxes on income. EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or under any other generally accepted accounting standards as an indicator for the measurement of financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for profit or loss, cash flows from operating activities or other terms of operational performance or liquidity prescribed under IFRS.
EBITDA is not intended to represent monies that are available for distribution of dividends or other uses, since such monies may be used for servicing debt, capital expenditures, working capital and other liabilities. EBITDA is characterized by limitations that impair its use as an indicator of the Company's profitability, since it does not take into account certain costs and expenses deriving from the Company's business, which could materially affect its net income, such as financing expenses, taxes on income and depreciation.
The Company believes that the EBITDA data provides transparent information that is useful to investors in examining the Company's operating performances and in comparing them against the operating performance of other companies in the same sector or in other sectors with different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates. This data item is also used by Company management when examining the Company's performance.
Set forth below is a calculation of the EBITDA data item for the periods presented. Other companies may calculate the EBITDA differently. Therefore, the EBITDA presentation herein may differ from those of other companies.

Set forth below is detail of the Company's revenues from sales in Israel (in NIS millions):
| For the Three Months Ended March 31 |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | ||
| Revenues from sale of energy generated to private customers that | |||
| was generated and/or purchased from other generators (1) | 240 | 225 | |

| Revenues from sale of energy to the System Administrator (4) | 16 | 11 | |
| Revenues from sale of steam | 15 | 16 | |
| Total revenues | 350 | 313 |
In Israel, the Company's net revenues from the sale of electricity to its private customers stem from electricity sold at the generation component tariffs, as published by the Electricity Authority, with a certain discount from the tariff. The weighted-average generation component tariff for 2021, as published by the Electricity Authority, is NIS 0.2526 per KW hour. This weighted-average is attributed to the mix of consumption in the market, which differs from that of the customers of Rotem and Hadera. In 2020, the weighted-average of the generation component tariff was NIS 0.2678 per KW hour. In addition, the Company's revenues from sale of steam are linked partly to the price of gas and partly to the Consumer Price Index. The reduction in the generation component has had and is expected to have a negative impact on the Company's income in 2021 compared with 2020.

40 Update of the Company's Business including in this Report of the Board of Directors was prepared in accordance with Regulation 39A of the Reporting Regulations, and includes significant changes or new items that occurred in the Company's business from the publication date of the Periodic Report for 2020 and up to the publication date of this Report. It is noted that in some of the case an additional description was provided in order to present a more comprehensive picture of the matter addressed. Reference to Immediate Reports as part of this Report includes the information included in the said Immediate Reports by means of reference.

41 Which is held (about 70%) indirectly by the Company, as detailed in Section 17 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) of the Periodic Report for 2020.
42 The information stated in the Immediate Report dated April 11, 2021, as stated, including regarding the characteristics of the project, its construction and operation and the dates for their execution, characteristics of the project's consumer/s, the scope of the revenues expected from the project and its business results, constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on estimates of the CPV Group and of the Company as at the publication of the report only, and that is dependent on fulfillment of a number of items, including completion of development and licensing processes, receipt of permits, performance of the construction and connection work, signing of an agreement to assure the required financing, etc. The said information in this report may not materialize and/or may materialize in a manner different than that stated, this being due to, among other things, non-fulfillment of one or more of the above-mentioned items, changes in the construction and operation costs, delays in the timetables for completion of development and construction stages, changes in the estimates and assumptions with reference to the project's performances, its costs or its results, from the impact of economic or regulatory conditions on a project of this type, and as a result of existence of one or more of the risk factors to which the CPV Group or the Company are exposed to as stated in the Periodic Report for 2020.
44
13.3.4 Further to that stated in Section 17.14 to Part A of the Periodic Report for 2020, it is noted that the CPV Group makes use of technical information, communications' and data processing systems for purposes of its current ongoing activities. Physical or logical harm to the management and/or operating systems, as stated, for whatever reason, could expose CPV Group to delays and interruptions with respect to provision of electricity, including causing damage to information or stealing of information. In addition, the CPV Group could be required to bear significant expenses in order to protect against harm to the information systems, as well as to repair any damage that is caused by such harmful items, including, for example, establishment of an internal system-protection system, implementation of additional security measures against a cyber threat, protection against lawsuits as a result of cyber-attacks, payment of compensation or taking of other correctional steps vis-à-vis third parties. Even though the CPV Group takes measures to increase the information security, among other things, through use of monitoring and control systems for the networks, strengthening hardware and operating systems, back-up, written policies and procedures, restricting access, employee training, etc., there is no certainty regarding its ability to prevent cyber-attacks or harm to the Group's information systems.

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Company") and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at March 31, 2021 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial information for this interim period in accordance with IAS 34 "Financial Reporting for Interim Periods", and are also responsible for the preparation of financial information for this interim period in accordance with Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial information for this interim period based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 "Review of Financial Information for Interim Periods Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above-mentioned financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34.
In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above-mentioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.
Sincerely,
Somekh Chaikin Certified Public Accountants (Isr.)

The accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are an integral part thereof.
OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Company") was incorporated in Israel on February 2, 2010. The Company's registered address is 121 Menachem Begin Blvd., Tel-Aviv, Israel. The Company is controlled by Kenon Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Parent Company"), a company incorporated in Singapore, the shares of which are "dual listed" for trading on both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Stock Exchange"). The Company's consolidated interim financial statements as at March 31, 2021 include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as rights in associated companies (hereinafter – "the Group").
The Company is a publicly-held company, and its securities are traded on the stock exchange. As at the date of the report (commencing from January 2021), the Group is engaged in two reportable business segments: (1) generation and supply of electricity and energy in Israel; and (2) maintenance, development, construction and management of renewable energy and conventional (powered by natural gas) power plants in the United States. In these activity segments, the Group is engaged in generation and supply of electricity and energy to private customers, Israel Electric Company Ltd. (hereinafter – "IEC") and the System Administrator, in initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants and facilities for the generation of energy and provision of management services for power plants in the United States that are owned by third parties. The Group manages its activities in Israel under one operational roof and its activities in the United States under another operational roof by means of the CPV Group (as described in Note 6).

In Israel, the Group operates the Rotem Power Plant, which is owned by OPC Rotem Ltd. (hereinafter – "Rotem") (which is held by the Company (80%) and by another shareholder (20%)), which operates using conventional technology having generation capacity of about 466 megawatts (MW); the Hadera Power Plant, which is wholly owned by OPC Hadera Ltd. (hereinafter – "Hadera"), which operates using cogeneration technology and having an installed capacity of up to 144 MW. Furthermore, Hadera holds the Energy Center (boilers and turbines on the site of Hadera Paper Mills Ltd.), which serves as back-up for the supply of steam. In addition, the Company holds full ownership of Zomet Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "Zomet"), which is taking action to construct a power plant which runs by means of natural gas using conventional technology in an open cycle (a Peaker plant) having a capacity of about 396 MW, located proximate to the Plugot Intersection, in the area of Kiryat Gat, under Regulation 914 of the Electricity Authority. Furthermore, the Company is taking action to construct and operate facilities for generation of energy on the consumer's premises, which generate electricity using natural gas and renewable energy, and arrangements for supply and sale of energy to consumers, and it has signed an agreement whereby it will supply the equipment and will construct, operate and maintain the Sorek B Generation Facility and will supply the energy required by the Sorek B Desalination Facility, as stated in Note 24A(10) to the annual financial statements.
The Group's activities in Israel are subject to regulation, including, among other things, the provisions of the Electricity Sector Law, 1996, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, resolutions of the Electricity Authority, the provisions of the Law for Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Business Concentration, 2013, the provisions of the Economic Competition Law, 1988, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and regulation in connection with licensing of businesses, planning and construction, and environmental quality (protection). The Electricity Authority is authorized to issue licenses under the Electricity Sector Law (licenses for facilities having a generation capacity in excess of 100 MW also require approval of the Minister of Energy), supervise the license holders (including supply licenses and private generation licenses), determine tariffs and provide benchmarks for the level, nature and quality of the services that are required from a holder of a "Essential Service Provider" license. Accordingly, the Electricity Authority supervises both Israel Electric Company (IEC) and private electricity generators.
The Group's activities are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of changes in the official Time of Use of Electricity Tariff (hereinafter – "the TAOZ"), which is regulated and published by the Electricity Authority. The year is broken down into 3 seasons: "summer" (July and August), "winter" (December, January and February) and "transition" (March through June and September through November) and for each season a different tariff is set. The Company's results are based on the generation component, which is part of the TAOZ, and as a result there is a seasonal effect.
In the United States, the Group operates through the CPV Group, which is held by the Company (indirectly) at the rate of 70%, power plants in the conventional area powered by natural gas (of the open-cycle type from an advanced generation) and in the area of renewable energy. As at the approval date of the financial statements, CPV's share of the natural gas-powered power plants is about 1,290 megawatts out of 4,045 megawatts (5 power plants), and in wind energy CPV's share is about 152 megawatts (1 power plant).
In addition, the CPV Group holds rights in power plants running on natural gas and using solar technology in the construction stages having a capacity of about 1,258 megawatts and 126 megawatts, respectively (CPV's share as at the approval date of the financial statements is about 126 megawatts and 126 megawatt, respectively). In addition, the CPV Group has a list (backlog) of projects using solar (photovoltaic) technology in advanced development stages having an aggregate scope of about 1,164 megawatts, and a number of projects in the initial development stage having an aggregate scope of about 943 megawatts. Furthermore, the CPV Group holds a list of projects using wind technology in the initiation stage having an aggregate scope of about 175 megawatts and projects using integrated cycle technology in the advanced development stages having an aggregate scope of about 3,955 megawatts.
The electricity market in the United States has both Federal oversight (wholesale sale of electricity and interstate transmission) and State oversight (retail sale of electricity and distribution services to end consumers). The primary federal regulator is Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), alongside separate state-level Public Service Commissions exercising additional regulatory oversight. The electric marketplace in the United States operates within the framework of several regional or state market operators, known as Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO) or Independent System Operator (ISO). ISOs/RTOs are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the transmission system, the administration of the wholesale markets in the regions in which they operate, and for the longterm transmission planning and resource adequacy functions.
The activities of the CPV Group are subject to, among other things changes in federal and state legislation, federal and state energy regulations and federal and state environmental protection laws and regulations. These laws impact the ability of the facilities of the CPV Group to operate, the prices of the products they produce and the costs and charges involved with their production. Therefore, regulations, laws and decisions of the federal and state authorities, particularly public service committees, a federal energy regulatory committee and environmental protection authorities, have a direct and indirect impact on the CPV Group's activities.
The revenues of the CPV Group from generation of electricity are seasonal and are impacted by variable demand, gas prices and electricity prices, as well as the weather. In general, with respect to plants running on natural gas, there is higher profitability in periods of the year wherein the temperatures are the highest and the lowest, which are usually in the summer and the winter.
Due to the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) ("the Coronavirus Crisis") in 2020 and in the period of the report and thereafter, movement (traffic) restrictions and restrictions on business activities were imposed by the State of Israel and countries throughout the world. In addition, the said Coronavirus Crisis has caused, among other things, uncertainty and instability in the Israeli and global financial markets and economy.

The operations of the Company's active power plants in Israel, as well as the construction of the Zomet power plant, are continuing in the "restrictions' period" as a result of their being "essential enterprises" while safeguarding the work teams and taking precautionary measures in order to prevent outbreak and spreading of the infection at the Company's sites. The continuity of the construction work on the Zomet Power Plant or the renovation work at the Hadera Power Plant could be impacted by the traffic (movement) limitations due to the Coronavirus Crisis in light of the need for arrival of equipment and foreign work teams. As at the date of the report, the Coronavirus Crisis did not have a significant impact on the Company's results and activities in Israel.
Spread of the virus and infections at the Company's power plants and other sites, continuation of the Coronavirus Crisis for an extended period, a significant impact of the Coronavirus Crisis on main suppliers (such as, suppliers of natural gas, construction and maintenance contractors) or the Group's main customers, could have an unfavorable impact on the Company's activities and results, as well as on its ability to complete construction projects on time or at all and/or on its ability to execute future projects.
Upon approval of use of the vaccine against the Coronavirus by the competent authorities of every country at the end of 2020, along with vaccination of the population based on age groups (at an accelerated rate in Israel compared with other countries) and removal of limitations in the period of the report, in the period of the report new mutations of the virus broke out that caused a quick spread of the virus in many countries and a tightening of traffic restrictions along with additional restrictions in order to prevent spread of the virus, including continuation of the restrictions on business activities. As at the date of the report, there is no certainty regarding the success of the vaccination activities against spread of the virus in Israel and worldwide development of additional mutations.
The spread of the Coronavirus had a significant impact on the economy and financial markets in the USA and the world. The activities of the power plants of the CPV Group continued during the Coronavirus crisis, after making certain adjustments as stated below. The Coronavirus crisis caused a change in the time schedules for the shifts of the employees of the CPV Group, a reduction of self-initiated shutdowns for purposes of periodic maintenance, extension of the length of the unplanned periodic maintenance period, adaptations on the part of the Group with respect to employees working from home and other adaptations required in the work-place. Also, the Group was and continues to be required to make adjustments relating to information security at the power plants. In addition, the Corona crisis affects the availability of suppliers and factors involved in the development and construction processes of CPV Group's projects.
It is noted that as at the approval date of this report there is no certainty relating to the duration of the Coronavirus crisis, its force (scope) and its impacts on the markets or on factors relating to CPV's activities, and therefore the CPV Group is not able to estimate with any degree of certainty and completeness the impact of the Coronavirus crisis. The outbreak of the virus and the (possible) spread thereof at the power plants of the CPV Group or restrictions on conducting business in the areas in which it operates, as well as the measures taken and that will be taken worldwide as a result thereof – which has impacted the economy and commodity markets in the U.S., in general, and the prices of electricity and natural gas, in particular – could impact CPV's activities (even significantly), thwart completion of the project under construction (as detailed in Note 7A) and delay advancement of CPV's projects under development, and could also impact the ability to actually commence execution of its future projects.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (hereinafter – "IAS 34"), "Financial Reporting for Interim Periods" and do not include all of the information required in complete, annual financial statements. These statements should be read together with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 (hereinafter – "the Annual Financial Statements"). In addition, these financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) 1970.
The condensed, consolidated, interim financial statements were approved for publication by the Company's Board of Directors on May 27, 2021.
The New Israeli Shekel (NIS) is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Group operates. Accordingly, the NIS is the functional currency of the Group. The NIS also serves as the presentation currency in these financial statements. Currencies other than the NIS constitute foreign currency.
In preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS, Company management is required to use judgment when making estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect implementation of the policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results are likely to be different than these estimates.
Management's judgment, at the time of implementing the Group's accounting policies and the main assumptions used in the estimates involving uncertainty, are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial Statement, except as stated below.

Allocation of acquisition costs – the Group calculates estimates with respect to allocation of excess cost to tangible and intangible assets and to liabilities. In addition, in determination of the depreciation rates of the tangible, intangible assets and liabilities, the Group estimates the expected life of the asset or liability. These estimates are based on, among other things, an independent appraiser.
In the period of the report, the Company classified business development expenses that were previously presented in the "administrative and general expenses" category in a separate category in the statement of income. Accordingly, the Company reclassified from the "administrative and general expenses" category to the "business development expenses" category the amount of NIS 2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
A. The Group's accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as the policies applied in the Annual Financial Statements.
The Group implements the acquisition method to all business combinations. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control over the acquiree. Control exists when the Group is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the acquiree and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the acquiree. Substantive rights held by the Group and others are taken into account when assessing control. On the acquisition date the acquirer recognizes a contingent liability assumed in a business combination if there is a present obligation resulting from past events and its fair value can be reliably measured. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of the assets transferred to the previous owners of the acquiree, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the previous owners of the acquiree and equity instruments that were issued by the Group. In addition, goodwill is not updated in respect of utilization of tax loss carryforwards that existed on the date of the business combination.
Costs associated with the acquisition incurred by the acquirer in respect of a business combination, such as: brokers' commissions, consultants' commissions, legal commissions, valuations and other commissions relating to professional services or consulting services, except for those relating to issuance of debt or equity instruments in connection with the business combination, are recognized as expenses in the period in which the services were received.
The Group recognizes goodwill on acquisition according to the fair value of the consideration transferred less the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset based on its cost, and is measured in succeeding periods based on its cost less accrued losses from impairment of value.
For purposes of examining impairment of value, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergy of the business combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill was allocated are examined for purposes of assessment of impairment of their value every year or more frequently where there are signs indicating a possible impairment of value of the unit, as stated. Where the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is less than the carrying value in the books of that cash-generating unit, the loss from impairment of value is allocated first to reduction of the carrying value in the books of any goodwill attributed to that cash-generating unit. Thereafter, the balance of the loss from impairment of value, if any, is allocated to other assets of the cash-generating unit, in proportion to their carrying values in the books. A loss from impairment of value of goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is the power to participate in making of decisions relating to the financial and operational policies of the investee company. In assessing significant influence, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible into shares of the investee are taken into account.
Investments in associated companies are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to an expected acquisition of an associate or joint venture are recognized as an asset as part of the item of deferred expenses in the statement of financial position. These costs are added to the cost of the investment on the acquisition date. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the income and expenses in profit or loss and of other comprehensive income of associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. Where the Group realizes part of an investment that is an associated company that includes foreign activities while maintaining significant influence, the proportionate part of the cumulative amount of the exchange rate differences is reclassified to the statement of income.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to NIS at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to NIS at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and are presented in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve (hereinafter – "translation reserve"). When the foreign operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, then the relevant proportionate share of the foreign operation translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests.
Generally, foreign currency differences from loans received from or provided to a foreign operation, including foreign operations that are subsidiaries, are recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from loans received from or provided to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are presented within equity as part of the translation reserve.
The Amendment replaces certain classification requirements of liabilities as current or non-current. For example, pursuant to the Amendment, a liability will be classified as non-current where an entity has a right to postpone the payment for a period of at least 12 months after the period of the report, which is "material" and exists at the end of the period of the report. A right exists as at the date of the report only if an entity is in compliance with the conditions for postponement of the payment as at this date. In addition, the Amendment clarifies that a conversion right of a liability will impact is classification as current or non-current, unless the conversion component is capital.
The Amendment will enter into effect for reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2023. Early application is permissible. The Amendment is to be applied retroactively, including adjustment of the comparative data.
The Group has not yet commenced examination of the impacts of application of the Amendment on the financial statements.
The Amendment cancels the requirement whereby in calculation of the costs that may be attributed directly to property, plant and equipment, a reduction is to be made from the costs of testing the proper functioning of the asset for the net proceeds from sale of any items produced in the process (such as samples produced at the time of testing the equipment). Instead, the said proceeds are to be recognized in the statement of income in accordance with the relevant standards and the cost of the items sold is to be measured pursuant to the measurement requirements of IAS 2 "Inventory".
The Amendment will enter into effect for reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2022 or thereafter. Early application is permissible. The Amendment is to be applied retroactively, including revision of the comparative data, but only for items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and position required for them to be able to function in the manner contemplated by management after the earliest reporting period presented on the initial application date of the Amendment. The cumulative impact of the Amendment will adjust the opening balance of the retained earnings of the earliest reporting period presented.
The Group has not yet commenced examining the impacts of the Amendment on the financial statements.
Pursuant to the Amendment, when examining whether a contract is onerous, the costs for performance of the contract that are to be taken into account are costs relating directly to the contract, which include the following costs:
The Amendment is to be applied retrospectively, commencing on January 1, 2022, for contracts the entity has not yet completed its obligations in respect thereof. Early application is permissible. Upon initial application of the Amendment, the entity is not to restate the comparative data but, rather, it is to adjust the opening balance of the retained earnings on the initial application date, in the amount of the cumulative impact of the Amendment.
The Group has not yet commenced examining the impacts of the Amendment on the financial statements.
The amendment reduces the applicability of the exemption from recognition of deferred taxes as a result of provisional differences created on the date of initial recognition of assets and/or liabilities, so that such exemption will not apply to transactions that create equal and offset provisional differences. As a result, entities will be required to recognize a deferred tax asset or liability in respect of such provisional differences on the date of initial recognition of transactions that create equal and offset provisional differences, such as lease transactions and provisions for dissolution and rehabilitation.
The amendment will be applied from the annual reporting period starting on January 1, 2023, by amending the opening balance of excesses or as an adjustment to the other equity item in a period in which the amendment is adopted. It will be applied as early as possible.
The Group has not yet started examining the implications of the amendment on its financial statements.
The carrying amounts in the books of certain financial assets and liabilities, including short-term and long-term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, other receivables, derivative financial instruments, trade payables and other payables, and some of the Group's long-term loans are the same as or approximate their fair values.

* Includes current maturities and accrued interest.
Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, using the Level 2 valuation method. The fair value is measured using the discounted future cash flows method, on the basis of observable data.
The Group enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments in order to hedge foreign currency risks and risks of changes in the CPI. Derivative financial instruments are recorded based on their fair value. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is based on prices, rates and interest rates that are received from banks, brokers and through customary trading software. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is estimated on the basis of the data received, using valuation and pricing techniques that are characteristic of the various instruments in the different markets. The fair value measurement of long-term derivative financial instruments is estimated by discounting the cash flows deriving from them, based on the terms and maturity of each instrument and using market interest rates for similar instruments as at the measurement date. Changes in the economic assumptions and the valuation techniques could materially affect the fair value of the instruments.
In addition, in the reporting period, loans used to acquire the CPV Group and loans that were initially consolidated as part of the business combination were added to the Group. These loans are the same or near to their fair value in light of the short period since the acquisition of the CPV Group and the variable interest rates in some of the loans.

Further to that stated in Note 25L to the annual consolidated financial statements, on January 25, 2021 the transaction was completed for acquisition of 70% of the rights and holdings in the CPV Group (hereinafter – "the Transaction Completion Date"). The transaction was executed through a limited partnership, CPV Group LP (hereinafter – "the Purchaser"), which is held, indirectly, by the Company (about 70% as a limited partner). The entities in the CPV Group acquired are: CPV Power Holdings LP (hereinafter – "CPVPH"); Competitive Power Ventures Inc. (hereinafter – "CPVI"); and CPV Renewable Energy Company Inc. (hereinafter – "CPVREC") (CPVPH, CPVI and CPVREC will be referred to hereinafter together as – "the CPV Group").
The CPV Group is engaged in the development, construction and management of power plants using renewable energy and conventional energy (power plants running on natural gas of the advanced-generation combined-cycle type) in the United States through subsidiaries and associated companies. The CPV Group holds rights in active power plants that it initiated and developed – both in the area of conventional energy and in the area of renewable energy. In addition, through an asset management group the CPV Group is engaged in provision of management services to power plants in the United States using a range of technologies and fuel types, by means of signing asset-management agreements, usually for short/medium periods.
On the Transaction Completion Date, in accordance with the mechanism for determination of the consideration as defined in the acquisition agreement, the Buyer paid the Sellers a consideration that was set at the total amount of about \$648 million (constituting a purchase price of \$630 million and certain adjustments to working capital, the cash balance and the debt balance), and about \$5 million for a deposit, in the same amount, which remains in the CPV Group. Subsequent to the date of the report, in May 2021, the consideration for the CPV Group acquisition transaction was adjusted, as a result of which the Sellers paid CPV Group an immaterial amount. It is noted that in respect of an interest of 17.5% in the rights in Three Rivers construction project (hereinafter – "the Construction Project"), a sellers' loan, in the amount of \$95 million (hereinafter – "the Sellers' Loan") was provided to the CPVH Group. The Seller's Loan is for a period of up to two years from the Transaction Completion Date, bears interest at the annual rate of 4.5%, which is to be paid quarterly and is secured by a lien on shares of the holding company that owns the rights in the project under construction and rights pursuant to the management agreement of the project under construction. For details regarding changes in the holdings in the project and in the Seller's loan in the period of the report – see Note 7A.
The Company partially hedged its exposure to changes in the cash flows from payments in dollars in connection with the agreement for acquisition of the CPV Group by means of forward transactions and dollar deposits. The Company chose to designate the forward transactions as an accounting hedge. On the completion date of the transaction, the Company recorded the amount of about NIS 103 million that was accrued in a hedge capital reserve to the cost of the investment in the CPV Group. This cost was recorded in the "goodwill" category and increased the cost of the acquisition by about \$32 million.
The contribution of the CPV Group to the Group's revenues and loss from the acquisition date and up to March 31, 2021 amounted to NIS 26 million and NIS 36 million, respectively. Management estimates that if the acquisition had already been made as at January 1, 2021, the amount of the revenues in the consolidated statement of income for the three-months period ended March 31, 2021 would have been NIS 391 million and the consolidated income for that period would have been NIS 7 million.
Acquisition of the CPV Group was accounted for according to the provisions of IFRS 3, Business Combinations. Therefore, on the Transaction Completion Date, the Company included the CPV Group's net assets at fair value. By the approval date of the financial statements, the Company had not yet completed allocation of the acquisition cost to the identified assets and liabilities, in light of the short time from the date of the business combination to the date approval of the proforma financial statements. As a result, some of the fair value figures are still provisional and there may be changes that will affect the data included in these financial statements.

Set forth below is detail of main agreements of the associated companies (hereinafter – "the Project Companies") in the CPV Group:
Each CPV project company has arranged senior debt under similar, single asset, non-recourse, project financing structures. At financial closing, debt and equity capital is committed in an amount sufficient to fund the project's projected capital costs during construction, along with revolving ancillary credit facilities. The ancillary credit facilities are provided by a subset of the project's lenders and are comprised of letter of credit (LC) facilities, which support collateral obligations under the financing arrangements and commercial arrangements, and a working capital revolver facility, which supports the project's ancillary credit needs. The senior credit facilities are generally structured such that subject to certain conditions precedent, they convert from construction facilities to long-term facilities (term loans) with maturity dates generally tied to the term of the commercial agreements anchoring projected operating cash flows. For the gas-fired projects, the tenors generally span the construction period plus 5-7 years after commercial operations (hereinafter – "Mini-Perm Financing"). The Mini-Perm Financing is repaid based on the combination of scheduled amortization and resultbased metrics, which in the aggregate, result in a partial repayment profile with a balance at maturity that must be refinanced or repaid.
The practice of the CPV Group is to opportunistically refinance the credit facilities depending on market conditions and in all cases prior to the scheduled maturity. The credit facilities in place during construction are sourced from consortiums of international financiers (10-20 in each gas fired project, fewer for renewables projects with lower capital needs) and executed in the "Term Loan A" market, which is substantially comprised of commercial banks, investment banks, institutional lenders, insurance companies, international funds, and equipment supplier credit affiliates. CPV has executed refinancings for its gas-fired projects in both the Term Loan A market and the Term Loan B market, which includes mainly institutional lenders, international funds, and a number of commercial banks.
While the credit facility terms and conditions have certain provisions specific to the project being financed, an overwhelming majority of the standard key terms and conditions (first lien security, covenants, events of default, equity cure rights, distribution restrictions, reserve requirements, etc.) are similar across the CPV project Term Loan A financings, while the Term Loan B market refinancing terms are slightly less restrictive. In each market and often within each financing, lenders to CPV's projects have funded either on a credit spread over London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")/Base Rate basis or on a fixed rate basis. To minimize exposure to potential interest rate risk, CPV executes interest rate hedges for the main exposure at each project level, whereby the project companies pay the major financial institutions fixed rate interest and receive variable interest payments to hedge the term loans. For the LIBOR-based loans, the credit agreements and interest rate swap arrangements include market-standard provisions to accommodate the eventual replacement of LIBOR as a reference rate.

Set forth below is a summary the main commercial conditions of the senior debt frameworks of the Project Companies in the CPV Group. The balances are presented in millions of dollars, represent 100% of the debt balance of each project and include fair-value adjustments that were made on the acquisition date of the CPV Group. The amounts of the loans under the "Term Loan" are presented as at the date noted, and to the extent they are withdrawn and repaid they may not be withdrawn again.
It is noted that the main financing agreements include, among other things, terms that are standard and customary in agreements for projects of this type, provisions regarding mandatory prepayments, various grounds for repayment, commissions in respect of credit frameworks, annual commissions relating to issuance of LC and additional customary terms. In addition, as part of the financing agreements collaterals provided and liens were placed on all the project assets. It is further noted that as at the approval date of the report, there are no grounds for calling any of the financing agreements for immediate repayment.

We have reviewed the accompanying proforma financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. and its subsidiaries, including and the condensed consolidated interim proforma statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of proforma financial information for this interim period in accordance with Regulation 38B of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the proforma financial information for this interim period based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 "Review of Financial Information for Interim Periods Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above-mentioned proforma financial information is not complete, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 38B of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 – this being on the basis of the proforma assumptions detailed in Note 3.

The accompanying notes to the proforma consolidated interim financial statements are an integral part thereof.
In October 2020, an agreement was signed (hereinafter – "the Acquisition Agreement") whereby the Company will acquire (indirectly) from entities in the Global Infrastructure Management LLC Group (hereinafter – "the Sellers"), 70% of the rights and holdings in the following entities: CPV Power Holdings LP (hereinafter – "CPVPH"); Competitive Power Ventures Inc. (hereinafter – "CPVI"); and CPV Renewable Energy Company Inc. (hereinafter – "CPVREC") (CPVPH, CPVI and CPVREC will be referred to hereinafter together as – "the CPV Group").
The CPV Group is engaged in the development, construction and management of power plants using renewable energy and conventional energy (power plants running on natural gas of the advanced-generation combined-cycle type) in the United States. The CPV Group holds rights, mainly through associated companies, in active power plants that it initiated and developed – both in the area of conventional energy and in the area of renewable energy. In addition, through an asset management group the CPV Group is engaged in provision of management services to power plants in the United States using a range of technologies and fuel types, by means of signing asset-management agreements, usually for short/medium periods. The acquisition was made through a limited partnership. CPV Group LP (hereinafter – "the Buyer") which is held indirectly at the rate of 70% by the Company (limited partner), at the rate of 30% by financial investors (limited partners).
For purposes of financing the acquisition, the Company raised capital on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and by means of a private issuance in October 2020, in the amount of about NIS 1,077 million, and it also raised capital through sale of debentures (Series B) on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange in October 2020, in the amount of about NIS 250 million. The balance of the amount was financed from the Company's own sources.
The completion date of the transaction, which was subject to preconditions and receipt of various regulatory approvals, took place on January 25, 2021.
On the Transaction Completion Date, in accordance with the mechanism for determination of the consideration as defined in the Acquisition Agreement, the Buyer paid the Sellers the amount of about \$648 million (which constitutes the acquisition price of about \$630 million and certain adjustments to working capital, the cash balance and the debt balance), and the amount of about \$5 million with respect to a deposit in the same amount remaining in the CPV Group. It is noted that in respect of an interest of 17.5% in the rights in Three Rivers, a project under construction (hereinafter – "the Project Under Construction"), a seller's loan was provided to CPVH, in the amount of US\$95 million (hereinafter – "the Seller's Loan"). The Seller's Loan is for a period of up to two years from the closing date of the transaction, bears interest at the annual rate of 4.5%, which is to be paid on a quarterly basis, and is secured by a lien on shares of a holding company that owns the rights in the project under construction and rights in the framework of a management agreement for the project under construction. On February 3, 2021, sale of 7.5% of the rights in CPV Three Rivers, LLC (hereinafter – "Three Rivers") was completed, for a consideration of about \$41 million (which served for repayment of part of the Seller's Loan). As a result of the sale, the CPV Group did not realize and gain or loss. The Seller's Loan will continue to exist with respect to the amount of about \$54 million (about NIS 181 million) in connection with the consideration relating to 10% of the rights in Three Rivers that is held by the CPV Group, pursuant to certain conditions. It is noted that the transaction costs for acquisition of the CPV Group amounted to a total of about NIS 44 million.
The Company partially hedged its exposure to changes in the cash flows from payments in dollars in connection with the acquisition agreement by means of forward transactions. The Company chose to designate the forward transactions as an accounting hedge. In addition, on the completion date of the transaction the Buyer provided guarantees in place of the guarantees provided by the Sellers prior to the completion date of the transaction in favor of third parties in connection with projects of the CPV Group that are in the development stage.

The CPV Group holds rights in power plants powered by natural gas and solar technology in the construction stages having capacities of 1,258 megawatts and 126 megawatts, respectively (the share of the CPV Group as at the approval date of the financial statements is about 126 megawatts and about 126 megawatts, respectively). In addition, the CPV Group has a list (backlog) of projects using solar (photovoltaic) technology in advanced development stages, with a total cumulative scope of about 1,164 megawatts, and a number of other projects in initial development stages with a total cumulative scope of 943 megawatts. In addition, the CPV Group has a list (backlog) of wind technology projects in advanced initiation stages with a total cumulative scope of about 175 megawatts, and combined-cycle projects in the development stage with a total cumulative scope of about 3,955 megawatts.
A. In the Proforma Statements, which include the proforma statements of income and the proforma statements of comprehensive income for each of the three-month periods ended on March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2020, adjustments and classifications were made regarding the manner of presentation of certain items in the financial data of Acquired Activities in order to conform the manner of their presentation to that of the Company, including to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The functional currency of the companies acquired is the Dollar, which is different than the Company's functional currency, which is the shekel and for purposes of consolidation of the Proforma Statements the statements of the companies acquired were translated from the Dollar into shekels. The translation differences relating to the investment in the equity were included in the statement of comprehensive income and translation differences in respect of a loan the Company provided to the Buyer were recorded as exchange rate differences in the "financing expenses" category.
As a practical result, in the proforma statements of income for the three-month periods ended on March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, income from exchange rate differences was included, in the amounts of about NIS 17 million and about NIS 15 million, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2020 expenses from exchange rate differences were included, in the amount of about NIS 39 million. In the proforma statements of comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended on March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, positive translation differences were included in the amounts of about NIS 66 million and about NIS 65 million respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, negative translation differences were included in the amount of about NIS 144 million.
The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". Therefore, on the completion date of the transaction the Company included the assets of the CPV Group, net, in accordance with their fair values. The Company's share in the acquisition consideration amounted to about \$457 million. The excess cost created on the acquisition of the CPV Group amounted to about \$20 million and was allocated provisionally (in accordance with IFRS 3). Up to the approval date of the financial statements, the Company had not yet completed allocation of the acquisition cost to the identified assets and liabilities, this being due to the short period of time that passed from the date of the business combination and up to the approval date of the proforma financial statements. In light of that stated, part of the fair value data is still temporary and there could be changes that will impact the data that is included in the Proforma Statements.
In the Proforma Statements, the excess cost was allocated partly to the property, plant and equipment of the associated companies and partly to goodwill. The excess cost allocated to the associated companies was amortized in the Proforma Statements over the balance of the useful life of the property, plant and equipment (33 years). Accordingly, in the proforma consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, amortization of excess cost expenses were recorded in the category "Company's share in income of affiliated companies", in the amounts of about NIS 0.4 million and about NIS 1.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, it was assumed that the fair-value adjustments as presented in Note 6 to the consolidated interim financial statements as at March 31, 2021 and that were determined on a temporary (non-final) basis are the same as the adjustments that would have been made if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021.
As stated above, the Company partly hedged (accounting hedge) the exposure to changes in the cash flows due to payments in the Dollar in connection with the acquisition agreement by means of forward transactions. Costs deriving to the Company as a result of the said hedge in the Company's statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, in the amounts of about NIS 15 million and about NIS 88 million, which were recorded in other comprehensive income, were eliminated in the proforma statements of comprehensive income.
It was assumed that acquisition costs, in the amounts of about NIS 2 million and about NIS 42 million, which were included in the Company's statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, were recognized in the period immediately preceding completion of the transaction for purposes of the Proforma Statements, that is, January 1, 2018, and therefore they are not included in the operating expenses in proforma statements of income. The tax impacts were included as applicable.
As stated above, the acquisition transaction was financed through raising of capital, in the amount of NIS 1,077 million, which took place in October 2020, and by means of selling debentures (Series B), in the amount of NIS 377 million, which took place in April and October 2020. Since the proforma event in statements of income is reflected as if the acquisition had been made on January 1, 2018, the Company's results of activities as included in the proforma consolidated statement of income includes deemed interest expenses, in order to reflect therein the assumption as if sale of the said debentures was executed on January 1, 2018. Therefore, the Company included deemed interest expenses in the proforma statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, in the amounts of about NIS 3 million and about NIS 8 million respectively, pursuant to the interest rate on the debentures (Series B). The tax impacts were included accordingly.
On the completion date of the transaction, the former shareholders of the CPV Group invested about \$67 million in the CPV Group (about \$13 million in equity and about \$54 million in a seller's loan), where the amount of about \$67 million out of this amount was used for repayment of a loan from a financial institution that was received in 2017 and that bore interest at the rate of 12.5%. The Seller's loan bears interest at the annual rate of 4.5%. In the proforma statements of income, it was assumed that these transactions were executed on January 1, 2018 and, therefore, an adjustment was made of the financing costs for the refinancing and, accordingly, the financing expenses in the proforma statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 were reduced by about NIS 1 million, about NIS 4 million and about NIS 17 million, respectively, in order to reflect the difference between the interest rate of about 12.5% and the interest rate of 4.5%. In addition, in the proforma statements as at March 31, 2021, the financing income in connection with early repayment of the mezzanine loan, in the amount of about NIS 15 million, was eliminated. The tax impacts were included accordingly.
Part of the Acquired Activities was executed through partnerships that are not taxed at the partnership level but, rather, at the level of the partners and, therefore, no tax expenses were included in the financial statements of these entities. In the Proforma Statements, the tax impacts of the Acquired Activities that are taxed as partnerships for purposes of U.S. federal taxes was included, as they are reflected at the level of the CPV Group, this being on the basis of the tax rate of the CPV Group that applied in the proforma period (about 26% in all the proforma periods – Federal tax of 21% and state tax at an average rate of 5%). As a practical result, in the proforma statement of income for the three months ended on March 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded additional tax expenses, in the amounts of about NIS 1 million, about NIS 17 million about NIS 12 million, respectively.

Expenses deriving from distribution of bonuses to employees, in the amount of about \$6 million (about NIS 21 million), which were paid to employees of the CPV Group in connection with completion of the transaction, which were included in the "administrative and general" category in the financial statements of the CPV Group for the three months ended March 31, 2021, were eliminated in the proforma statement of income in accordance with the assumption, as stated, that the completion date of the transaction for purposes of the proforma statements is January 1, 2018.
The revenues from sale of associated companies that were included in the statements of the CPV Group in the "other income" category in the years 2020, in the amount of \$7 million (about NIS 25 million), were eliminated in the proforma statements of income since they do not reflect the Company's business plan of selling associated companies upon their increase in value but, rather, the intention to continue to hold and operate these companies.
In each of the years presented in the proforma statement of income, the share of the holders of non-controlling interests in the income (loss) was included that derives from the impact of the data relating to the Acquired Activities that was used in preparation of the proforma financial statements and the proforma adjustments that were included in the proforma consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
