The Group includes Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd. ("the Company"), its consolidated subsidiaries and its Investee.
The Company holds two fully owned subsidiaries: (1) Payton America Inc., in Florida, USA, which mainly engages in the manufacture and marketing of transformers for the US domestic market; and (2) Himag Planar Magnetics Ltd., in the UK, which mainly engages in the development, manufacture and marketing of transformers and serves as the Group base for the UK and the European markets. The Company also holds an affiliated company, a strategic investment of 20% in a Hong-Kong holding company, PCT Industries Limited ("PCT"), that fully owns a manufacturing subsidiary in China. The Chinese manufacturing subsidiary mentioned above is engaged in manufacturing and assembly, serves as one of Payton's major Manufacturing Partners.

1 The financial statements as at December 31, 2024 form an integral part thereof.
The Company, an Israeli high-tech enterprise, develops, manufactures and markets Planar and Conventional transformers worldwide. The Company was founded in order to revolutionize the traditional approach to the design and manufacture of transformers through the concept of planar transformers. The Company completed its initial public offering in 1998 on the EuroNext Stock Exchange.
Inflation effects - Since the functional currency of the Group's activity is the US dollar, and since the Group does not use bank loans, management believes there is no material effect of the inflation in Israel and/or worldwide on the Group's business activity, except for some adjustments needed in payroll.
Increase of global interest rate - since the Company does not hold loans, the Group is not expected to have a material negative impact due to the increase in the global interest rate, on the contrary, deposits' income increased.
On October 7th, 2023, a war broke out in the state of Israel ("the War"). The War consequences have not significantly affected the Group's day-to-day operations. The Group's local facility, located in the center area of Israel, rapidly adapted a working routine and continued its ongoing business. As of this date, the Group's local facility is fully operative providing products and services on a regular basis to its customers.
Thanks to the Group's financial and operational strength, wide business diversification, global dispersion of production sites and raw material suppliers, the Group's management believes it should be able to continue its ongoing business fully and continuously.
Based on the information the Group has at the date of approval of these financial statements, this War is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's activity and results. However, due to uncertainty involved and lack of information regarding the duration of the War, the Group is currently unable to foresee and assess the future effects of the War.
The Group continues to follow-up and monitors all the abovementioned global developments trying to minimize any impact including maintaining its close contacts with its subcontractors, suppliers and customers, all in order to adjust its operations in the best possible way.

The Group participates in leading electronic exhibitions. Company is focusing on serving Key customers with routine visits and latest technology development updates.
The Company strategy, which enables fulfilling the mission of gaining worldwide recognition and market share growth, is:
The Group intends to expand and diversify its manufacturing capacity and capabilities, through manufacturing partners in the Far East, especially in China and the Philippines. The objective of this initiative is to increase flexible production capacity, to enable mass production quantities, lower product costs and increase competitiveness.
In recent years there has been an increasing interest of magnetics manufacturers to get into the Planar field. We can note that there are more and more companies that are trying to design and manufacture the planar components. However, the Company believes in its technology advantage know-how and capabilities. It estimates it could generally benefit from an increasing competition in the market due to greater exposure of the technology.
The Company cannot estimate its future market share. The following companies are considered as its potential competitors: Pulse, Standex and Coilcraft - from the U.S.A. and Premo - from Spain.
As at December 31, 2024 this backlog amounted to USD 25,165 thousand, and as at March 13, 2025 to USD 25,712 thousand (December 31, 2023 - USD 30,765 thousand). The backlog is composed of the Company and its two fully owned subsidiaries firm orders.

It should be noted that in light of global slowdown sometimes customers tend to postpone scheduled deliveries up on their needs. Such changes of delivery dates may lead to a different sales volume than indicated above according to the quarterly order backlog split.
It is noted that the above statement is a forward-looking statement as defined above.
As of December 31, 2024 and the date of signing the financial statements, the Group has no material framework agreements.
A factor of importance to the Company's success is its ability to attract, train and retain highly skilled technical, and more specifically, qualified electronics engineers with experience in high frequency magnetics and with a comprehensive understanding of high frequency magnetics, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. The Company constantly improves its personnel and has so far succeeded in recruiting the appropriate personnel as required. This personnel is important in maintaining the pace in research, design and technical customer support. The Company is confident however, that the challenges inherent to its operations will satisfy its future recruitment needs. By the end of 2024, the Group employed about 170 people. The Company retains employment contracts with most of its key employees and is of the opinion that relations with its employees are satisfactory.

Since its incorporation, Payton has provided innovative and affordable Planar Magnetic solutions to the Power Electronic Industry.
By doing so, it has become the undisputable worldwide market leader in the Planar Magnetics Technology, with a customer base of leading technology-driven OEMs.
Payton plans to maintain its lead and continue to facilitate the transition of the Magnetics market to the Planar Technology by:
In 2025, the Group plans to complete and integrate the purchase of SI MANUFACTURING, INC. (see also paragraph B above and Note 20 to 2024 yearly report(, in order to expand Group activity and global presence. Furthermore, the Group will continue its ongoing search for business and M&A opportunities synergetic to its core business.
The Group is also preparing, in 2025, to continue coping with current slowdown of global markets. There are some push-out of scheduled deliveries based on customer needs, and great caution needs to be taken with regard to purchase forecast and inventory planning. The raw materials prices are high and no significant price reduction is expected in coming future. At this stage, it is not possible to assess the extent of the impact of the trends described above on the Group's activities.
With regards to the War, currently, there is no material impact on the Group's activity and results. However, it is still impossible to foresee and assess long future effects.
The Group plans to continue investing efforts to improve and efficient its production capacity as well as integration of automation. In addition to its normal course of business, the Group will continue its ongoing search for new markets as well as other business opportunities providing innovative solutions and new technologies in order to keep expanding its customer base, core business, enlarging its market share and maximize business opportunities to the greatest possible extent.
It is noted that the above statement is a forward-looking statement as defined above.
| Major Impact | Medium Impact | Small Impact | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Macro Risks Market Risks |
The global business environment changes have many implications including the following: Raw material high costs. Difficulties in recruiting manpower and increase of labor costs. Changes and push-out of scheduled deliveries by customers. Geopolitical, regulations and international tariffs changes. Metals prices fluctuations especially: Copper, Aluminum, Tin and Silver, which are part of the transformers bill of materials. Automotive industry - alongside the opportunity for a large growth there is an inherent risk in this industry, especially during a period of economic uncertainty where a decrease in demand could be material. In addition, the growing competition in this industry creates a constant pressure to reduce prices and margins. |
Currency exposure during credit term period with regards to invoices issued in local currency. Evaluation/Devaluation of the local currencies, NIS and GBP, reflects an increase/decrease in labor costs and other operating costs. |

Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term Deposits and marketable securities - these items amounted to a total of USD 58,088 thousand as at December 31, 2024 compared to USD 56,186 thousand as at December 31, 2023. Despite the dividend payment during the year 2024, the Company presents increase in Cash and cash equivalents attributed mainly to Company's profitability.
The Group's management believes a solid financial position is an important factor in order to successfully overcome times of crisis.
Trade accounts receivable - these amounted to USD 7,925 thousand as December 31, 2024, compared with USD 9,546 thousand as at December 31, 2023. The decrease in this item is in line with the sales volume near the reports dates.
Other investment - as at December 31, 2024 this amounted to USD 2,733 thousand compared with USD 900 thousand as at December 31, 2023. This item representing the Company's investment in shares of CaPow Technologies Ltd. (hereinafter: "CaPow"), an Israeli startup in the field of wireless charging solution. In May 2024, the Company exercised its warrants to purchase additional 4,489 Shares, and keep its holding share, against payment of USD 333 thousand (representing 1.2 times the original purchase price). In September 2024, the Company participated in a second fundraising round with an additional investment of USD 1.5 million. The Company holds about 7% of the shares of CaPow and following the additional investment, the Company was granted representation on CaPow's Board of Directors. The Company has a professional and business interest in being involved in new developments in this area and sees CaPow as a strategic investment.
Trade payables - amounted to USD 1,261 thousand as at December 31, 2024 compared with USD 3,663 thousand as at December 31, 2023. The decrease in this item resulted mainly from an increase in advance payment to a principal subcontractor in addition to a decrease caused by purchases decrease near the report dates which was in line with the business activity.
Other payables - amounted to USD 3,010 thousand as at December 31, 2024 compared with USD 2,532 thousand as at December 31, 2023. The increase in this item resulted mainly from a provision, initially recorded for employees' incentives relating to the current year (2024) results.
The Group's interest rate exposure relates mainly to its balance of cash equivalents and bank deposits. These balances are mostly held in USD bearing interest rates given by banks (during 2024, about 6%).
The financial statements of the Company reflect the functional currency of the Company, which is the USD.
Most of the Group's sales (93%) in the reported periods were in USD or were linked to the USD. Approximately 2% of the Group's sales in 2024 were in Euro, 1% were in NIS, and about 4% were in GBP.
During 2024, approximately 96% of the costs of raw material and finished goods purchased by the Group were in USD or were linked to the USD.
During 2024, approximately 82% of the Group's salaries were in New Israeli Shekel ("NIS") and about 6% were in GBP.
Since most of the Group's sales and purchases were in USD or linked to the USD, the Group's gross profit was exposed to the changes in exchange rates of the USD in relation to the Euro, the GBP and to the local New Israeli Shekel ("NIS") mostly with regard to labor costs and other operating costs (see also Data on linkage terms, above).
The Group is exposed to erosion of the USD in relation to the NIS and the GBP. Most of the Group's salaries and other operating costs are fixed in the local currencies. Devaluation of the USD in relation to the NIS and the GBP increases the Group's labor costs and thus influences its operating results.
Devaluation of the USD in relation to the Euro and the GBP leads to a decrease in Group's assets held in those currencies.
The Company is subcontracting in China. Devaluation of the USD with relation to the Chinese currency has an indirect effect on the Group's cost of goods sold.
During 2024 the Company mostly used 'limit orders' for exchanging currency mainly in order to cover its labor costs paid in NIS. With regard to all other operating costs, there is no need to use derivatives since hedging is being kept inherently as part of the operational activity.

Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer 144 Menachem Begin Road, Building A, Tel-Aviv 6492102, Israel
Tel: +972-3-6232525 Fax: +972-3-5622555 ey.com
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd. ("the Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2024, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As discussed in Notes 2E and 16A to the consolidated financial statements, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, are USD 50.8 million. According to IFRS 15, the Company recognizes revenue from goods with no alternative use over time. The Company's revenues are generated from the sale of goods manufactured according to customer specifications and based mainly on noncancelable and non-refundable terms. The Company is entitled to reimbursement of the costs incurred to date, including a reasonable margin. Customer-specific goods cannot be sold to any other customer and therefore have no alternative use. Furthermore, and due to the materiality of revenue to the financial statements of the Company, and the significant management judgment involved in the revenue recognition process, we identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
With respect to this audit matter, our main audit procedures included obtaining an understanding of the design and implementation of key internal controls surrounding the recording of revenues. We sampled revenues while focusing on transactions recorded close to the year-end and in the beginning of the subsequent period, and checked that such transactions were included in the appropriate period. Our testing included sampling of source documents such as purchase orders and reviewing terms of contracts with customers to obtain evidence that revenues recorded meet the criteria of IFRS 15. We also checked if any credit notes were issued in the subsequent period in order to obtain evidence of proper revenue recognition in 2024.
Other information consists of the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
In accordance with the draft standard on the audit of compliance of the Financial Statements with the European Single Electronic Format (hereafter "ESEF"), we have audited as well whether the ESEFformat is in accordance with the regulatory technical standards as laid down in the EU Delegated Regulation nr. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (hereafter "Delegated Regulation").
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation, in accordance with the ESEF requirements, of the consolidated financial statements in the form of an electronic file in ESEF format (hereafter "digital consolidated financial statements") included in the annual financial report.
It is our responsibility to obtain sufficient and appropriate information to conclude whether the format and the tagging of the digital consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.
In our opinion, based on our work performed, the format of and the tagging of information in the official English version of the digital consolidated financial statements as per March 27, 2025, included in the annual financial report of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd., are, in all material respects, prepared in compliance with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.
The partner in charge of the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Mr. Shahar Zvulun.

Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd. ("the Company") was incorporated in Israel in December 1992. The address of the Company's registered office is 3 Ha'avoda Street, Ness-Ziona.
The Company is a subsidiary of Payton Industries Ltd. (the "Parent Company") and its ultimate joint controlling shareholders are Mr. David Yativ and FIMI (Fimi Israel opportunity 7, limited partnership and Fimi Opportunity 7, LP, a limited partnership). The securities of the Company are registered for trade on the Euronext stock exchange in Brussels.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
The Group develops, manufactures and markets mainly planar transformers and operates abroad through its subsidiaries and distributors.
In these financial statements:
1. On February 14, 2024, the Parent Company entered into an agreement with FIMI ISRAEL OPPORTUNITY 7, a Limited Partnership, and FIMI Opportunity 7, LP a Limited Partnership (together hereinafter: "FIMI"), to allocate 1,468,057 ordinary shares of the Parent Company (hereinafter: "Allocated Shares") which, subject to their allocation, would constitute approximately 17.76% of the Parent Company's issued and outstanding share capital and voting rights (hereinafter: the "Share Purchase Agreement"), all conditional upon the occurrence of certain precedent conditions.
Simultaneously Mr. David Yativ, the controlling shareholder of the Parent Company (hereinafter: "Yativ") has entered into an agreement to sell to FIMI 1,000,000 shares of the Parent Company, constituting around 12.09% of the Parent Company's share capital.
Furthermore, FIMI and Yativ agreed on the terms of a shareholders' rights agreement to be executed on the closing of the transaction. It is noted that the completion of the Share Purchase Agreement and the other transactions described above (hereinafter: "the FIMI Transaction") were subject, inter alia, to the approval of the Parent Company's Shareholders' meeting, resolved on April 8, 2024 (see 3 hereinafter).
In addition, on the Closing Date, the Parent Company has granted non-marketable options to purchase shares of the Parent Company according to the Parent Company's incentive option plan ("the Options") to certain key-employees and officers of the Parent Company's subsidiaries, as follows: 80,000 Options to 4 (four) employees of the Parent Company's subsidiaries, 30,000 Options to Mr. Doron Yativ (David Yativ's son serves as a director and the CEO of the Company), 20,000 Options to Mr. Amir Yativ (David Yativ's son serves as an engineering and development manager) and 30,000 Options to Mrs. Michal Lichtenstein (serves as the CEO of the Parent Company and V.P. Finance & C.F.O of Payton Group).
The total fair value of the options granted to these employees on the date of grant amounts to USD 1,238 thousand. In accordance with IFRS 2, the Company records the share-based compensation in respect of these employees over the vesting period (4 years) with a corresponding credit to equity (reserve from transactions with controlling shareholder).
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the financial statements for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") and its interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
The Group's financial statements have been prepared on a cost basis, except for: financial assets and liabilities which are presented at fair value through profit or loss, provisions, employee benefit assets and liabilities and investment in equity accounted investee.
The Group has elected to present the profit or loss items using the function of expense method. The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on March 27, 2025.
The functional currency of the Group is the USD and it represents the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. The presentation currency of the financial statements is the USD.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The Group periodically evaluates the condition and age of inventories and makes provisions for slow moving inventories accordingly.
Cost of inventories is determined as follows:
Raw materials - at cost of purchase on the basis of weighted average
Work in progress and finished goods - on the basis of average costs including materials, labor and other direct and indirect manufacturing costs
Purchased merchandise and products - at cost of purchase on the basis of weighted average
Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of the assets, as follows:
| % | ||
|---|---|---|
| Buildings (except land component) | 2-15 | (mainly 2%) |
| Land under finance lease | 1.5 | |
| Machinery and equipment | 15-33 | (mainly 15%) |
| Motor vehicles | 15 | |
| Office equipment | 7-33 | (mainly 7%) |
| Computers | 20-33 |
The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standard 15 ("IFRS 15" or "the standard") which provides guidance on revenue recognition. According to IFRS 15, the Group recognizes revenue from goods with no alternative use over time.
The standard describes a five step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers:
The Group accounts for a contract with a customer only when the following conditions are met:
In accordance with the standard, the Group should identify distinct performance obligations in contract with customers. The Group is characterized by transactions with a one performance obligation in each contract.
The transaction price is the amount of the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods promised to the customer.
Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over promised goods to the customer.
The Group's revenue is generated from the sale of goods manufactured according to customer specifications and based mainly on NCNR terms (non-cancelable and non-refundable). The Group is entitled to reimbursement of the costs incurred to date, including a reasonable margin. Customer-specific goods cannot be sold to any other customer and therefore have no alternative use.
A contract asset is recognized when the Group may recognize revenue but still has a contractual obligation to perform, such as delivery, before it can receive consideration for goods sold to the customer.
Contract assets are classified as receivables when the rights in their respect become unconditional. In the following year, as the contractual obligation is completed, contract assets are classified as trade accounts receivable.
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board ("the IASB") issued IFRS 18, "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" ("IFRS 18") which replaces IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements".
IFRS 18 is aimed at improving comparability and transparency of communication in financial statements.
IFRS 18 retains certain existing requirements of IAS 1 and introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.
IFRS 18 does not modify the recognition and measurement provisions of items in the financial statements. However, since items within the statement of profit or loss must be classified into one of five categories (operating, investing, financing, taxes on income and discontinued operations), it may change the entity's operating profit. Moreover, the publication of IFRS 18 resulted in consequential narrow scope amendments to other accounting standards, including IAS 7, "Statement of Cash Flows", and IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted commencing from January 1, 2025, subject to disclosure.
The Group is evaluating the effects of IFRS 18, including the effects of the consequential amendments to other accounting standards, on its consolidated financial statements.

The land on which the Company's premises in Israel are built, had a carrying amount of USD 1,163 thousand as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: USD 1,183 thousand) and is leased from the Israel Lands Administration under a capital lease ending on June 30, 2032.

The Group's exposure to currency and liquidity risks concerning other payables is disclosed in Note 11 on financial instruments.
Management believes that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, trade accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other payables approximate their fair value.
Financial assets presented in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value are measured according to inputs that are not based on observable market data (Level 3).
The Group's principal financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and receivables that derive directly from its operations. The Group's principal financial liabilities are comprised payables.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Board of Directors defines principles for overall risk management, as well as the specific policy for certain risk exposures and also the use of financial instruments and excess liquidity investments. The Group's risk management framework focuses on actions to minimize possible negative effects on the Group's financial performance.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises currency risk.
The Group's normal course of business is being managed in U.S. dollar, thus, most of the market risks are hedged.
The Group uses, from time to time, derivatives as a tool for hedging, in order to neutralize fluctuations in profit or loss.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Since most of the Group's sales are in U.S. dollar, the Group's gross profit is exposed to the changes in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar in relation to the NIS and GBP, with regards to local labor costs and other operating costs, and in relation to the Chinese currency, with regards to costs of raw materials. The Group uses derivatives, from time to time, as a tool for economic hedging, especially in order to hedge labor costs and other costs paid in NIS.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis:
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity test to a reasonably possible change in NIS, Euro and GBP exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group's income before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The Group's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is immaterial.

| 5% in the NIS | 69 | 196 | |
| 5% in the Euro | 13 | 2 | |

A strengthening of the USD against the above currencies as at December 31 would have had an equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations as a customer or under a financial instrument leading to a loss for the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activity (primarily trade accounts receivable) and from its financing activity, including deposits with banks.
The Group's revenues are derived from sales to customers in Israel, Asia, Europe, America and other countries around the world. The Company's Management regularly monitors the customers' balances and includes specific provisions for doubtful debts in the financial statements that adequately reflect, in the opinion of management, the loss inherent in debts the collection of which is doubtful. The Group has credit risk insurance for most of its Israeli and other customers, whose yearly activity exceeds USD 5 thousand and USD 10 thousand, respectively.
The Group's cash surpluses are invested in banks. The Group has a surplus cash investment policy for the purpose of reducing risk or maintaining liquidity. This policy is reviewed and updated from time to time according to market changes.
The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

According to the labor laws and Severance Pay Law in Israel, the Company is required to pay compensation to an employee upon dismissal or retirement or to make current contributions in defined contribution plans pursuant to section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, as specified below. The Group's liability is accounted for as a post-employment benefit. The computation of the Group's employee benefit liability is made according to the current employment contract based on the employee's salary and employment term which establish the entitlement to receive the compensation.
Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law, 1963 applies to part of the compensation payments, pursuant to which the fixed contributions paid by the Group into pension funds and/or policies of insurance companies release the Group from any additional liability to employees for whom said contributions were made. These contributions and contributions for benefits represent defined contribution plans.

The Group accounts for that part of the payment of compensation that is not covered by contributions in defined contribution plans, as above, as a defined benefit plan for which an employee benefit liability is recognized and for which the Group deposits amounts in severance pay funds and in qualifying insurance policies. The net liability for the defined benefit plan is presented under non-current liabilities.
Risks associated with the Group's liability for defined benefit obligations refer to deviations in salary increases, deviations in assets performances from the expectation, as well as changes in the interest rate environment.

The expected contributions to the plan in 2025 are USD 81 thousand. The average weighted life of the plan as of December 31, 2024 is 7.60 years (as of December 31, 2023: 8.06 years).
The Company, being a "foreign investment company", elected to be taxed as from the year 2009, based upon its results in dollars and according to applicable income tax regulations (hereinafter - "the Dollar regulations").
The Company is subject to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 which was amended last in 2010 (hereinafter - "the Amendment to the Law"). The Amendment to the Law provisions applies to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011 and thereafter by a preferred company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment to the Law.
The Amendment provides that only companies in Development Area A will be entitled to the grants track and that they will be entitled to receive benefits under this track and under the tax benefits track at the same time. In addition, a preferred enterprise track was introduced, which mainly provides a uniform and reduced tax rate for all the company's income entitled to benefits. On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) - 2013, which raised the tax rates on preferred income as from the 2014 tax year as follows: 9% for Development Area A and 16% for the rest of the country. As stated in Note 1, the Company's factory is not located in Development Area A, and therefore the Company's tax rate on preferred income is 16%.
The Amendment to the Law also provides that no tax will apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to a shareholder that is a company, for both the distributing company and the shareholder. A tax rate of 20% shall apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to an individual shareholder or foreign resident, subject to double taxation prevention treaties.
The Company complies with the conditions provided in the amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments for inclusion in the scope of the tax benefits track.
On November 15, 2021 the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for the 2021 and 2022 Budget Years) - 2021 (hereinafter: "the Economic Efficiency Law") was published as well as a Temporary Order to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 (hereinafter: "the temporary order"), which offers a reduced tax rate arrangement to companies that received an exemption from corporate tax under the aforesaid law. The temporary order provided that companies that choose to apply the temporary order, which is effective until November 14, 2022, will be entitled to a reduced tax rate on the "release" of exempt profits (hereinafter: "the beneficiary corporate tax rate"). The release of exempt profits makes it possible to distribute them at a reduced rate of corporate tax at the company level based on the rate of the profits being distributed pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Amendment.
The reduced corporate tax rate will be determined according to the rate of exempt profits the company chooses to release from its entire exempt profits, and will be between 40% and 70% of the corporate tax rate that would have applied to the revenue in the year it was produced if it had not been exempt, but in any event no less than 6%.
Furthermore, a company that chooses to release its exempt profits and pay a beneficiary corporate tax rate will be required to invest in its enterprise, within a period of 5 years beginning from the tax year it elected, an amount calculated according to a formula provided in the temporary order (30% of the exempt income multiplied by the corporate tax rate and multiplied by the release rate). The investment will be made in productive assets (with the exclusion of buildings), research and development in Israel and salaries to new employees of the enterprise. Failure to comply with this condition will require the company to pay additional corporate tax.
In addition, according to the Economic Efficiency Law an amendment was made to Section 74 of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 with respect to identifying the sources of dividend distributions as of August 15, 2021.
The Company applied the temporary order in 2022.
The Company currently qualifies as an "Industrial Company" as defined in the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes) - 1969 and accordingly it is entitled to benefits, of which the most significant one is higher rates of depreciation than those prescribed in the Israeli tax ordinance.
Current taxes for the reported periods and deferred tax balances as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are calculated according to the tax rate presented above. See also Note 13A(2) above.
The Company has final tax assessments up to and including the 2018 tax year. With few exceptions the U.S. subsidiary is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.

Deferred taxes in respect of companies in Israel are calculated according to the tax rate anticipated to be in effect on the date of reversal as stated above. Deferred taxes in respect of foreign subsidiary are calculated according to the relevant tax rates.
As at December 31, 2024 a deferred tax liability in the amount of USD 920 thousand (2023: USD 786 thousand) for temporary differences in the amount of USD 4,000 thousand (2023: USD 3,419 thousand) related to investment in subsidiaries was not recognized because the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
As at December 31, 2024 deferred tax assets have not been recognized mainly for capital tax losses in the amount of USD 672 thousand (year ended December 31, 2023: USD 722 thousand), since currently their utilization in the foreseeable future is not probable.
