Tel Aviv, Israel, May 18, 2017, Elbit Imaging Ltd. ("EI" or the "Company") (TASE, NASDAQ: EMITF) is publishing today, further to its announcement dated May 15, 2017, its unaudited financial statements for 2016 on Form 6-K.
The Company announced on May 15, 2017 that it was unable to complete and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ending December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Form 20-F") by the extended deadline of May 15, 2017.
On May 15, 2017, the Company's subsidiary, Plaza Centers N.V. ("PC" or "Plaza"), published its annual financial statements for 2016, which contained a report in which its independent auditor, KPMG Hungaria Kft. ("KPMG"), expressed no opinion with regard to PC's financial statements.
KPMG indicated that the basis for its disclaimer related to potential irregularities with respect to certain contracts entered into by PC concerning the Casa Radio project in Romania, which contracts PC had reported to the Romanian authorities. KPMG noted also that the Company appointed a special committee in 2016 to examine these matters, as they may involve potential violations of the requirements of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), including the books and records provisions of the FCPA, and that the Company approached and is co-operating fully with relevant authorities regarding these matters. For additional information see notes 4 C (1) and 13 C (12) to the unaudited financial statements.
KPMG indicated that the basis for its disclaimer also related to an agency and commission contract signed in 2011 regarding the sale in 2012 of property in the United States jointly owned by PC and the Company. KPMG stated the characteristics of such contract indicates that it may involve a potential violation of laws and regulations. KPMG further said that it believes that PC had not completed a sufficient investigation of the circumstances of this contract and of the implications of the payments made thereunder. See note 13 C (13) to the unaudited financial statements.
KPMG further said that, as part of its responsibility to ensure that PC's business activities are conducted in accordance with laws and regulations, and to identify and address any noncompliance, it expects PC to carry out a full review of past contracts to identify whether or not there may be other contracts which could involve potential violations of the laws and regulations of any of the jurisdictions to which PC may be subject. PC did not agree to carry out such a review to the extent KPMG considered sufficient and appropriate, KPMG said.
In addition, KPMG noted the risk that the public authorities could seek to terminate the Pubic Private Partnership Agreement ("PPP Agreement") and/or relevant permits and/or could seek to impose delay penalties based on perceived breaches of Plaza's commitments under the PPP Agreement. KPMG indicated that PC's management has assessed this risk as unlikely, on the basis that the public authorities have not sought to assert their rights since the perceived breach in 2012 and on the assessment of the merits of Plaza's counter claims against the public authorities. KPMG noted that in the event that the public authorities seek to terminate the PPP Agreement and/or seek to impose penalties, and Plaza's counter claims are not upheld, PC may incur penalties and/or recover less than the carrying amount of the Casa Radio assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements as at year-end (approximately €73.2 million). Additionally, PC's ability to realize these assets may be delayed. See Note 4 C (1) to the unaudited financial statements.
Furthermore, KPMG noted that there are significant risks and uncertainties pertaining to the achievement of PC's cash flow forecasts, which include the occurrence of events which are beyond PC's sole control. Any delays in the realization of PC's assets and investments and collection of proceeds thereof or realization at lower prices than expected by PC, as well as any other deviations from PC's assumptions, could have an adverse effect on PC's cash flows and its ability to service its indebtedness in line with contractual terms. See Note 7 B (2) to the unaudited financial statements.
KPMG added that PC's bondholders under the bond agreements are entitled to make the amounts outstanding become immediately due and payable because PC has not published its consolidated financial statements by April 30, 2017, and because of the suspension of the trading of PC's ordinary shares and bonds on May 2, 2017. KPMG stated that the bondholders have not taken steps to assert their rights.
According to KPMG, a combination of the abovementioned events and conditions indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about PC's ability to continue as a going concern.
As a result of the above disclaimer by the auditor of PC, the Company's auditor notified the Company that it is unable to provide an audit opinion regarding the Company's financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2016. Consequently, the Company is not in a position to file its 2016 Form 20-F at this time.
The Company is required to submit a plan to Nasdaq within 60 days from May 15, 2017 to regain compliance with the requirements for continued listing. If Nasdaq accepts the plan submitted by the Company, it can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 20-F, or until November 13, 2017, to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit within the 60-day timeframe a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq's requirements for continued listing. There can be no assurance that we will successfully regain compliance with such requirements. If Nasdaq does not accept the our plan, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's ordinary shares will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
The Company is working diligently to resolve this issue and intends to file the 2016 Form 20- F as soon as practicable. The Company's Board of Directors has approved the filing of these unaudited financial statement on Form 6K.

The Company consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its financial liabilities.
In accordance with the provision of the Notes trust deeds (Series H and Series I notes), the Company is required to publish its annual consolidated financial statements as required by law, by April 30 with an agreed extension of 30 days.
As of the date of publishing these financial statements, the Company estimates that it will not be able to meet the aforementioned deadline. Therefore, the Bondholders will be entitled to declare that all or a part of their respective outstanding debts become immediately due and payable.
In the case that the noteholders would declare their remaining debts to become immediately due and payable, the Company would not be in a position to settle those debts.
In light of the foregoing, the Company's board of directors is of the opinion that the abovementioned indicate the existence of a significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
The Company's separate financial information include liabilities to bank Hapoalim and towards Series H and Series I notes, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately NIS 615 million. NIS 380 million (principal plus interest) will become due till the end of 2018 (without taking to account the acceleration of payment which could be triggered by our Note holders as described in C above). In addition, the Company has certain operational expenses for its ongoing operations.
The Company has prepared a projected cash flow until December 2018, which includes the anticipated sources that to the Company's estimation, are expected to serve the repayment of its financial liabilities mentioned above. The main anticipated sources included in the Company's projected cash flow are (i) cash and cash equivalents (on its separate financial statements) of approximately NIS 44 million (ii) net cash expected to be generated from the sale of the Company's hotel in Bucharest and sale of partial shares in our held companies in the medical field in the amount approximately NIS 377 million. It should be noted, that the projected cash flow is based on the Company's forward-looking plans, assumptions, estimations, predictions and evaluations which rely on the information known to the Company at the time of the approval of these financial statements (collectively, the "Assumptions"). The materialization, occurrence consummation and execution of the events and transactions and of the Assumptions on which the projected cash flow is based, including with respect to the proceeds and timing thereof, are not certain and are subject to factors beyond the Company's control as well as to the consents and approvals of third parties and certain risks factors. Therefore, delays in the realization of our assets and investments or realization at lower price than expected by us, as well as any other deviation from our Assumptions, could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and our ability to serve our indebtedness on a timely manner.
If the noteholder will demand an acceleration of payment (as discussed in C above), the sources presented in in this projected cash flow will not be sufficient to serve such acceleration.

| Related parties - | As defined in International Accounting Standard ("IAS") no. 24 see note 17. |
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for (i) financial instruments measured at fair value; (ii) certain trading property measured at net realizable value (see note 2W.(1)a.); and (iii) certain property, plant and equipment (hotels) presented at the revaluation model (based on fair value) (see note 2W.(1) e). The principal accounting policies are set out below.
The Group operations are characterized by diverse activities. Accordingly, management believes that its income statements should be presented in the "Single - step form". According to this form, all costs and expenses (including general and administrative and financial expenses) should be considered as continuously contributing to the generation of the overall revenues and gains. Management also believes that its operating expenses should be classified by function to: (i) those directly related to each revenue (including general and administrative expenses and selling and marketing expenses relating directly to each operation); and (ii) overhead expenses which serve the business as a whole and are to be determined as general and administrative expenses.
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, and statement of income, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of changes in shareholders' equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended have been translated into USD using the representative exchange rate as of that date (USD 1= NIS 3.845). Such translation was made solely for the convenience of the U.S. readers. The USD amounts so presented in these financial statements should not be construed as representing amounts receivable or payable in USD or convertible into dollars but only a convenience translation of reported NIS amounts into USD, unless otherwise indicated. The convenience translation supplementary financial data is unaudited and is not presented in accordance with IFRSs.
Due to the lingering real estate and financing crisis in CEE in previous years, in which the Group's majority of commercial centers are located, the Group is lacking sufficient historical experience of exact time line in realizing its commercial centers into cash or cash equivalents. Accordingly, the Group is unable to clearly identify its actual operating cycle with respect to trading property. As such, the Group's operating cycle relating to trading property and corresponding borrowings is 12 months. As a result, trading property and borrowings associated therewith are presented as non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company ("Subsidiaries"). Control is achieved where the Company:
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
As for de facto control of the Company in PC see W (2) below.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates or joint ventures are incorporated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group's share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.
An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or a joint venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment.
In circumstances where the Group's interest in an investee company is in the form of mixed securities (such as ordinary shares, preferred shares or other senior securities, or loans), the Group records equity losses in excess of the Group's investment in the ordinary shares of the investee based on the priority liquidation mechanism, that is, allocating the loss to the other components in reverse order to their seniority in liquidation.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of associates to adjust their accounting policies with those of the Company.
The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognize any impairment loss with respect to the Group's investment in an associate or a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The financial statements of each individual entity of the Group are presented based on its functional currency. Transactions in currencies other than each individual entity's functional currency (foreign currency) are translated into that entity's functional currency based on the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the historical exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated at foreign currency are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange rate differences as a result of the above are recognized in statement of income, except for: (i) exchange rate differences charged to foreign currency translation reserve (see (ii) below); and (ii) exchange rate differences charge to revaluation of property plant and equipment carried at fair value (see L below)
For the purpose of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations (the functional currency of each is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates) are translated to New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") which is the functional currency and the presentation currency of the Company, based on the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the functional currency of the Company based on exchange rates as at the date of each transaction or for sake of practicality using average exchange rates for the period.
Foreign exchange rate differences arising from translation of foreign operations are recognized directly to foreign currency translation reserve within other comprehensive income.
Exchange rate differences attributable to monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation are also included in the foreign currency translation reserve.
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in the equity reserve in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
In the case of a partial disposal that does not result in loss of control by the Group over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to or from non-controlling interests and are not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. reductions in the Group's ownership interest in associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
(iii) Rates of exchange of NIS, in effect, in relation to foreign currency (in NIS) are as follows:

Cash equivalents include unrestricted readily convertible to a known amount of cash, maturity period of which, as at the date of investments therein, does not exceed three months.
Financial assets of the Group are classified mainly as loans and receivables. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value
Loans and receivable consist of trade receivables, deposits in banks, and financial institutions, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest is considered immaterial.
Real estate properties for future sale (inventory) are classified as trading properties and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Group's trading properties are divided to three different classes (operational, under development and undeveloped) and the following present the different methods to determine the net realizable value:
Costs of trading properties include costs directly associated with their purchase (including payments for the acquisitions of leasehold rights, borrowing cost, wages and stock-based compensation expenses) and all subsequent direct expenditures for the development and construction of such properties. Cost of trading property is determined mainly on the basis of specific identification of their individual costs (other than non-specific borrowing costs capitalized to the cost of trading property).
As for borrowing costs capitalized to trading property - see S below.
As for write down of trading property - see W(1) a below.
As for the operating cycle of trading property - see E above.
(i) The Group's hotel is presented in the consolidated balance sheets according to the revaluation model.
Revaluations are carried out on a regular basis (generally each half year). A change in the value of the hotel resulting from revaluation or from exchange rate differences is attributable to other comprehensive income (any revaluation reserve is net of applicable deferred taxes).
The reserve derived from the revaluation of the hotel is transferred to retained earnings over the period for which the hotel is used by the Group. The transferred amounts equal the difference between the depreciation charge based on the revalued carrying amounts of the hotel and the depreciation charge based on the hotels' original cost. When a revaluated hotel is sold, the remaining amount in the revaluation reserve with respect to the same hotel (including any tax expenses) is directly transferred to retained earnings.
Other property plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Improvements and renovations are charged to cost of assets. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to the statement of income as incurred.
(ii) Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful period of use not exceeding the lease period (including the period of renewal options that the Group intends to exercise).
Annual depreciation rates are as follows:
| % | |
|---|---|
| Hotel | 1-4 |
| Other buildings | 2.0 - 2.5 |
| Building operating systems | 7.0 (average) |
| Others (*) | 6.0 - 33.0 |
(*) Consists mainly: office furniture, machinery and equipment, electronic equipment, computers and peripheral equipment.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are non-taxable or deductible for tax purposes. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are calculated in respect of all temporary differences, including (i) differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit; and (ii) tax losses and deductions that may be carried forward for future years or carried backwards for previous years.
Deferred taxes are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The calculation of deferred tax liabilities does not include taxes that would have arisen in the event of a realization of investments in certain investee companies or upon receiving their retained earnings as dividends, since it is management's policy not to realize these investees nor to declare dividend out of their retained earnings, or other form of profit distributions, in the foreseeable future, in a manner which entails additional substantial tax burden on the Group. For certain other Group's investee companies, which management's intention is to realize or to distribute their retained earnings as taxable dividend, tax liabilities (current and deferred) are recorded.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is to be settled or the asset is to be realized, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax asset is recorded to the extent that it is probable that it would be realized against future taxable profits. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered in the future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred taxes are recognized as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited or debited directly to equity or in other comprehensive income, in which case the tax effect is also recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income;
An equity instrument is any contract that represents a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issuance costs.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost of the Group consist of short-term credits, current maturities of long-term borrowing suppliers and service providers, borrowings and other payables, which are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, unless recognition of interest is immaterial.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating the interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial liability (for example, prepayment, call and similar options). The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.
When the Group revises its estimates of payments, it adjusts the carrying amount of the financial liability to reflect actual and revised estimated cash flows. The Group recalculates the carrying amount by computing the present value of estimated future cash flows at the financial liability's original effective interest rate. The adjustment is recognised in profit or loss as a financial expense.
The Company has Consumer Price Index ("CPI")-linked financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. For these liabilities, the Company determines the effective interest rate as a real rate plus linkage differences according to the actual changes in the CPI through each balance sheet date. Rate of decrease in the Israeli CPI in 2016 was 0.3% (2015- decrease of 0.9%; 2014 - increase of 0.1%).
The Group derecognizes a financial liability from its statement of financial position when repurchasing its notes or its loans. The difference between the carrying amount of the notes or the loans repurchased at the repurchase date and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments, some of which are intended to mitigate its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in note 20.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value each balance sheet date. The resulting gain or loss from a derivative is immediately recognized in profit and loss. A derivative is presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the derivative is more than 12 months and as a current asset or a current liability if the remaining maturity of the derivative is less than 12 months.
Provisions - Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is more likely than not (probable) that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be measured with respect to the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation as of the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties associated with the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the result of the discounted expected cash flows, as long as the effect of discounting is material.
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. The Fair value is measured using the Black and Scholes ("B&S") model except for capped-Stock Appreciation Rights ("SAR") for which the Group is using the binomial model. The expected life used in the B&S model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of nontransferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis for each award over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
General - The Group recognizes revenue and gains when the amount of revenue, or gain, can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and specifics of each arrangement.
(i) Rental income from commercial centers - Revenues from leasing of property and management fees, as well as rental income relating to the operations of commercial centers are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
The leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the lease term. For these leases, the rental income is recognized on a straight line basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accordingly, accrued rental income recognized on a straight line basis, represents unbilled rent receivables that the Group will receive only if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. The leases may also provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the lessee's gross sales or contingent rent indexed to further increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). For contingent rentals that are based on a percentage of the lessee's gross sales, the Group recognizes contingent rental income when the change in the factor on which the contingent lease payment is based, actually occurs. Rental income for lease escalations that are indexed to future increases in the CPI, are recognized once the changes in the index have occurred.
For the Group, these conditions are usually fulfilled upon the closing of a binding sale contract.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized to the cost of those assets. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get it ready for its intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Borrowing costs qualified for capitalization include mainly: Interest expenses and amortization of cost of raising debt.
Capitalization of borrowing costs to qualifying assets commences when the Group starts the activities for the preparation of the asset for its intended use or sale and continues, generally, until the completion of substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its designated use or sale (i.e. when the commercial center is ready for lease).
In certain cases, the Group ceases to capitalize borrowing cost if management decides that the asset can no longer be defined as a "qualifying asset". In other circumstances, capitalization is suspended for certain time periods, generally where the efforts to develop a project are significantly diminished due to inter-alia lack of external finance, or ongoing difficulties in obtaining permits. The conclusions whether an asset is qualified for capitalization or not, or whether capitalization is to be suspended, are also dependent on management plans with regard to the specific asset, such as the ability to raise bank loans, find anchors and local market conditions that support or postpone the construction of the project.
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share with respect to continued and discontinued operation. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares of the Company, by the weighted average number of the outstanding ordinary shares during the period. In the computation of diluted earnings per share, the Company adjusts its income (loss) attributable to its ordinary shareholders for its share in income (loss) of investees by multiplying their diluted earnings per share by the Company's interest in the investees including its holding in dilutive potential ordinary shares of the investees. In addition, the Company adjusts the weighted average outstanding ordinary shares for the effects of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares of the Company. On June 27, 2016, the company executed reverse share split of its ordinary shares, therefore the earnings (loss) per share for previous periods was retrospectively adjusted. See also note 14.
Investments in, and payments on account of, trading property are included as cash flow from operating activities. Interest and dividend received from deposits and investments are included as cash flow from investing activities. Interest paid on the Group's borrowings (including interest capitalized to qualifying assets) and cash flows arising from changes in ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are included as cash flow from financing activities.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs on disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale, if earlier.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of comprehensive income and cash flow is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. In addition, in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management makes various judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that can significantly affect the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
The followings are the critical judgments and key sources of estimation that management has made while applying the Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these financial statements.
The recognition of a write down to the Group's trading properties is subject to a considerable degree of judgment and estimates, the results of which, when applied under different principles, conditions and assumptions, are likely to result in materially different results and could have a material adverse effect on the Group's unaudited consolidated financial statements.
This valuation becomes increasingly difficult as it relates to estimates and assumptions for projects in the preliminary stage of development in addition to the lack of transactions in the real estate market in the CEE and India for same or similar properties.
Management is responsible for determining the net realizable value of the Group's trading properties. In determining net realizable value of the vast majority of trading properties, management utilizes the services of an independent third party recognized as a specialist in valuation of properties.
For special assumption see note 4 C (1)(e), 4 D, 4 F,4 G and note 6 A
The Group is involved in litigation, tax assessments and other contingent liabilities in substantial amounts including class actions, FCPA and potential legal acts (see also note 4(C)(1), 13B and note 13C). The Group recognizes a provision for such litigation when it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. The Group evaluates the probability and outcome of these litigations based on, among other factors, legal opinion and consultation and past experience. The outcome of such contingent liabilities may differ materially from management's estimation. The Group periodically evaluates these estimations and makes appropriate adjustments to the provisions recorded in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. In addition, as facts concerning contingencies become known, the Group reassesses its position and makes appropriate adjustments to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. In rare circumstances, when the case is unique, complicated and involves prolong and uncommon proceedings, the Group cannot reliably estimate the outcome of said case
The calculation of the Group's tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application and/or interpretation of complex tax laws, tax regulations and tax treaties, in respect of various jurisdictions in which the Group operates and which vary from time to time. In addition, tax authorities may interpret certain tax issues in a manner other than that which the Group has adopted. Should such contrary interpretive principles be adopted upon adjudication of such cases, the tax burden of the Group may be significantly increased. In calculating its deferred taxes, the Group is required to evaluate (i) the probability of the realization of its deferred income tax assets against future taxable income and (ii) the anticipated tax rates in which its deferred taxes would be utilized.
Penalties and guaranties are part of the on-going construction activities of the Group, and result from obligations the Group has towards third parties, such as banks and municipalities. The Group's management is required to provide estimations regarding risks evolving from penalties that the Group may have to settle. In addition, the Group's operations in the construction area are subject to valid authorizations and building permits from local authorities. Under certain circumstances the Group is required to determine whether the building permits it obtained have not yet expired. It may occur that building permits have expired which might impose on the Group additional costs and expenses, or delays and even abandon project under construction see also note 4(C) (1).
The fair value of the Radisson Complex is determined based upon the discounted cash flows ("DCF") approach, the assumptions underlying the model, as well as the ability to support them by means of objective and reasonable market benchmarks, so they can be viewed as assumptions that market participants may have used, are significant in determining the fair value of the hotels. The predominant assumptions that may cause substantial changes in the fair value are: the capitalization rate, exit yield rate, the expected net operating income of the hotel (which is mainly affected by the expected average room rate and the occupancy rate as well as the level of operational expenses of the hotels) the level of refurbishments reserve and the capital expenditures that need to be invested in the hotel. The fair value of the Radisson Complex is performed by and independent appraisals with a local knowledgeable in the hotels business.
As for December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company holds approximately 44.9% of PC share capital; DK holds approx. 26.3% of PC share capital and the rest is widely spread by the public. The Company's management is of the opinion that based on the absolute size of its holdings, the relative size of the other shareholdings and due to the fact that PC's directors are appointed by normal majority of PC's General Meeting, it has a sufficiently dominant voting interest to meet the power criterion, therefore the Company has de facto control over PC.
The following are new accounting standards, amendments to standards and clarifications which are applicable or expected to be applicable, to the Group, and which have not yet become effective:
Amendment to IAS 7 - effective after January 2017
The Amendments require an entity to provide disclosure that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. The amendments do not prescribe a specific format to disclose financing activities; however, an entity may fulfil the disclosure objective by providing a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the statement of financial position for liabilities arising from financing activities.
The amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 with earlier application permitted. Entities are not required to present comparative information for earlier periods
In May 2014, IFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Under IFRS 15, an entity recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when 'control' of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in IFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by IFRS 15.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 in the future will not raise material impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the Group's unaudited consolidated financial statements

(1) Casa radio:
One of PC's most significant projects under development is the Casa radio project in Bucharest, Romania. The Casa radio Project cost in the Group's financial statements as of December 31, 2016, amount to NIS 296 million (2015 - NIS 460 million).
In 2006 PC entered into an agreement according to which it acquired 75% interest in a company ("Project SPV") which is under a PPP agreement with the Government of Romania to develop the Casa radio site in central Bucharest ("Project"). After signing the PPP agreement, PC holds indirectly 75% of the shares in the Project SPV, the remaining 25% are held by the Romanian authorities (15%) and a third party (10%).
As part of the PPP, the Project SPV was granted with development and exploitation rights in relation to the site for a period of 49 years, starting December 2006 (38 years remaining at the end of the reporting period). As part of its obligations under the PPP, the Project SPV has committed to construct a Public Authority Building ("PAB") measuring approximately 11.000 square meters for the Romanian Government at its own cost.
Large scale demolition, design and foundation works, financed by loans given to the project SPV by PC were performed on the construction site until 2010, when current construction and development was put on hold due to lack of progress in the renegotiation of the PPP Contract with the Authorities, as discussed in subsection c below, and the global financial crisis. These circumstances (and mainly the bureaucratic deadlock with the Romanian Authorities to deal with the issues specified below) caused the Project SPV not to meet the development timeline of the Project, as specified in the PPP. However, PC management believes that it had legitimate reasons for the delays in this timeline, as discussed in subsection c below.
The Project SPV obtained the PUD related to this project in September 2012. Furthermore, on December 13, 2012, the Court took note of the waiver of the claim submitted by certain plaintiffs and rejected the litigation aiming to cancel the approval of the Zonal Urban Plan ("PUZ") related to the Project. The court decision is irrevocable.
As the PUD is based on the PUZ, the risk that the PUD would be cancelled as a result of the cancellation of the PUZ was removed following the date when the PUZ was cleared in court on December 13, 2012.
Following the Court decision with respect to the PUZ, the Project SPV was required to submit a request for building permits within 60 days from the approval date of the PUZ/PUD and commence development of its project within 60 days after obtaining the building permit. The building permits have not been obtained.
However, due to substantial differences between the approved PUD and stipulations in the PPP agreement as well as changes in the EU directives concerning environmental considerations in buildings used by public authorities the Project SPV attempted to renegotiate the future development of the project with the Romanian Authorities on items such as time table, structure and milestones as well as adaptation of the PAB development to the current EU requirements. Despite several notifications sent to the Romanian Authorities expressing a wish to renegotiate the existing PPP agreement no major breakthrough could be achieved. PC could be subject to significant delay penalties under the terms of the PPP agreement if it is determined that PC was at fault in causing the delays.
Because of the refusal of the public authorities to cooperate, negotiate and adjust the PPP agreement, the Project SPV was not able to meet its obligations under the PPP. This resulted in a situation where the Project SPV could not "de facto" continue the execution of the Project and created a risk that the public authorities could attempt to terminate the PPP agreement. As of the date of approval of PC's unaudited consolidated financial statements the Project SPV did not receive any termination notification by the public authorities.
PC believes that although there is no formal obligation for the Romanian Authorities to renegotiate the PPP agreement, such obligation is implicitly provided for the situation when significant unexpected circumstances arise and that the unresponsiveness of the authorities is a violation of the general undertaking to support the Project SPV in the execution of the Project as agreed in the PPP agreement.
PC believes that the risk that the public authorities may seek to terminate the PPP and/or relevant permits on the basis of the perceived breach of the PC's commitments and/or may seek to impose delay penalties on the basis of the PPP contract is unlikely given the public authorities have not sought to do such since the perceived breach in 2012 and given PC believes it has basis for counter claims against the relevant public authorities.
In the case of termination for breach under the PPP agreement the relationship and compensation between the parties is to be decided by a competent court of arbitrations. PC's management believe that, in the case of termination, PC has a strong case to claim compensation for damages.
During 2016 PC's management has taken a number of steps in order to unblock the development of the project and mitigate the risk of termination of the PPP agreement, including commencing a process to identify third party investors willing and capable to join PC for the development of the project. PC's management believes that partnering with reputable investors with considerable financial strength can enhance PC's negotiation position vis-à-vis the public authorities and assist in advancing an amicable agreement with the relevant authorities with respect to the development of the project.
PC's management considers the risk of termination of the PPP agreement and/or the imposition of penalties by the authorities to be unlikely and the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any provision in respect to any potential future penalties in respect to the breach of the PPP agreement. The increased risk arising from the above matters has been reflected in the valuation of the project.
In 2015, PC's board and management became aware of certain issues with respect to certain agreements that were executed in the past in connection with the Project. In order to address this matter, PC's board appointed the chairman of it's Audit Committee to investigate the matters and independent law firms to analyse the available alternatives in this respect. The chairman of the Audit Committee did not conclude the investigation as the person with key information was not available to answer questions. PC's Board, among other steps, implemented a specific policy in order to prevent the reoccurrence of similar issues and appointed the chairman of the audit committee to monitor the policy's implementation by PC's management. In addition, it was decided that certain agreements will be brought to PC's approval prior to signing.
PC has approached and is co-operating fully with the relevant Romanian Authorities regarding the matters that have come to its attention and it has submitted its initial findings in March 2016 to the Romanian Authorities. PC, during this process has been verbally informed (in April 2017) by the Romania Authorities that it has received immunity from certain potential criminal charges and received further verbal assurance that the mentioned investigation should have no effect on the PC's existing legal rights to the Project and the PPP Agreement. As this process is still on-going, PC in unable to comment on any details related to this matter. PC's management is currently unable to estimate any monetary sanctions in respect to the potential irregularities, consequently no provision has been recorded in connection with these matters.
For more information see note 13 C(12)
(1) Casa radio: (Cont.)
As mentioned in point a above, when PC entered into an agreement to acquire 75% interest in the Project SPV it assumed a commitment to construct the PAB at its own costs for the benefit of the Romanian Government. Consequently, the statement of financial position includes a provision in the amount of EUR 13.2 million (NIS 53 million) in respect of the construction of the PAB (December 31, 2015: EUR 14.9 million).
PC's management believes that the current level of provision is an appropriate estimation in the current circumstances. Upon reaching concrete agreements with Authorities, PC will be able to further update the provision.
e. Casa radio valuation was prepared based on the assumption that the net realizable value ("NRV") refers to the net amount that the Group expects to realize from the sale of its trading property in the ordinary course of business.
A write-down was performed due to a significant change in the estimated date of construction commencement of the project and construction commencement is now scheduled to 2019, triggered mainly by permitting issues as described above. In addition, the cap rate includes 1.5% cover for several risks related to the complexity and large scale of the project. Such risks include extended timing in developing, large delays in obtaining the necessary permits or issues with regard to the permits, possible legal and/ or bureaucratic issues due to the PPP agreement, remained concession term and others.
In addition, Casa radio NRV reflects, inter alia, a discount to the value calculated above reflecting a situation under which a sale of the project will be executed in a short marketing period taking into account the financial conditions and liquidity needs of PC (as detailed in Note 7 B (2) in order to meet PC's future repayment schedule as well as the existence of material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about PC's ability to continue as a going concern. See also F and G below.
On March 31, 2016, PC has completed the sale of its subsidiary holding Liberec Plaza, a commercial center in the Czech Republic, for EUR 9.5 million (NIS 40 million). Following net asset value adjustments related to the subsidiary's balance sheet, PC received net EUR 9.37 million (NIS 40 million) and recorded a loss of EUR 355 thousand (NIS 1.5 million).
On June 29, 2016, PC has completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, which holds the "MUP" plot in Belgrade, Serbia, for EUR 15.75 million (NIS 64 million) and recorded a gain of EUR 2.15 million (NIS 9 million). The purchaser has paid the initial amount of EUR 11.3 million (NIS 46 million), EUR 4.05 million (NIS 16 million) were paid in January 2017 and EUR 0.4 million (NIS 2 million) are due within 15 months from June 30, 2016. Furthermore, PC will also be entitled to an additional contingent consideration of EUR 0.6 million (NIS 2.5 million) once the purchaser successfully develops at least 69,000 sqm above ground.
On June 30, 2016, PC has signed a Debt Repayment Agreement ("DRA") with the financing bank (the "Bank") of Zgorzelec Plaza Shopping Center in Poland whereby PC paid EUR 1.1 million to the financing bank.
The DRA stated that PC is obliged to make its best effort and cooperate with the Bank in trying to sell Zgorzelec Plaza Shopping Center. Simultaneous with this, the financing bank will seek a third party to be an appointed shareholder to purchase the shares of Zgorzelec Plaza Shopping Center for EUR 1.
On September 14, 2016, A Share Purchase Agreement has been signed with an Appointed Shareholder nominated by the Bank, after which the remainder of the DRA process was completed including removing a mortgage over a plot the PC owns in Leszno, Poland.
PC recognized a profit of EUR 9.2 million (NIS 37 million), stemming from de-recognition of EUR 23 million (NIS 93 million), of the outstanding loan (including accrued interest), against the shopping center's carrying amount of EUR 12.7 million (NIS 51 million).
.
During 2016 PC has executed transactions for the sale of plots to third parties in Poland and Romania for the total amount of approximately EUR 4 million (NIS 16 million).

The following information relates to trading property held by Elbit-Plaza India Real Estate Holding Limited ("EPI"), the total amount of which as of December 31, 2016, amounts to NIS 84.5 million. EPI is jointly controlled by the Company and PC (see note 7D). As for additional information in respect of the Bangalore Project- see note 6A.
In December 2007, EPI executed agreements for the establishment of a special purpose vehicle ("Chennai Project SPV") together with a local developer in Chennai ("Local Partner"). The Chennai Project SPV acquired 74.73 acres of land situated in the Sipcot Hi-Tech Park in Siruseri District in Chennai ("Property").
On September 16, 2015, EPI has obtained a backstop commitment from the Local Partner for the purchase of its 80% shareholding in the Chennai SPV by January 15, 2016, for a net consideration of approximately INR 161.7 Crores (NIS 91 million). Since the Local Partner had breached its commitment, EPI exercised its rights and forfeited the Local Partner's 20% holdings in the Chennai Project SPV. Accordingly, as of the balance sheet date EPI has 100% of the equity and voting rights in the Chennai Project SPV.
On August 2, 2016, Chennai Project SPV has signed a Joint Development Agreement with a local developer ("Developer" and "JDA", respectively) with respect to the Property.
Under the terms of the JDA, the Chennai Project SPV granted the property development rights to the Developer" who shall bear full responsibility for all of the project costs and liabilities, as well as for the marketing of the scheme. The JDA also stipulates specific project milestones, timelines and minimum sale prices.
Development will commence subject to the obtainment of the required governmental/ municipal approvals and permits, and it is intended that 67% of the Property will be allocated for the sale of plotted developments (whereby a plot is sold with the infrastructure in place for the development of a residential unit by the end purchaser), while the remainder will comprise residential units fully constructed for sale.
The Chennai Project SPV will receive 73% of the total revenues from the plotted development and 40% of the total revenues from the sale of the fully constructed residential units.
In order to secure its obligation, the Developer will pay a total refundable deposit of INR 35.5 Crores (NIS 20 million), with INR 10 Crores (NIS 5.5 million) were paid as of the balance sheet date, INR 17 Crores (NIS 9.5 million) payable when planning permission for the first phase of the development project is obtained (the "Project Commencement Date"), and the remaining INR 8.5 Crores (NIS 5 million) payable six months after the Project Commencement Date ("Refundable Deposit").
The JDA may be terminated in the event that the required governmental approvals for establishment of access road to the Property has not been achieved within 12 (twelve) months period from the execution date of the JDA. Upon such termination, the Developer shall be entitled to the refund of the relevant amounts paid as Refundable Deposit and any other cost related to such access road or the title over the Property. The JDA may also be terminated by the Chennai Project SPV, inter alia, if the Developer has not obtained certain development milestone and/or breached the terms of the JDA.
On December 31, 2016, the net realizable value was prepared according to the discounted cash flows attributable to the Chennai Project SPV taking into account the terms of the signed JDA. The main assumptions included in this valuation are the amounts and timing of the revenues stream from the sale of Plots and Villas and the applicable interest rate for discounting the projected cash flow.
E. As of December 31, 2016, the Group pledged trading property in the amount of NIS 671 million in order to secure borrowings provided to the Group by financial institutions in the total amount of NIS 334 million. See also note 13 D (4).

(1) Insightec Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Israel in March 1999 and commenced operations in the development, production and marketing of magnetic resonance imaging guided focused ultrasound treatment equipment shortly thereafter. The Company operates in one operating segment.
As for December 31, 2016, the Group holds, through Elbit Medical, 31.3% of InSightec's voting and equity rights (25.5% on a fully diluted basis). Yet, due to the fact that the Group invested in preferred shares and regular shares which are subordinated to the share granted in the last rounds of investment, the Group share in InSightec loss is 41.5%.
Substantially all of InSightec's current sales are derived from a few applications of InSightec's products. Other applications of InSightec's technology are in the early stages and there can be no assurance that these applications will be successful. InSightec is continuing research and development for additional applications for such products.
Exablate Neuro uses focused ultrasound waves to precisely target and ablate tissue deep within the brain with no incisions or implants. The treatment is done under Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guidance for real time treatment monitoring.
On August 15, 2016, INSIGHTEC has signed a non-exclusive cooperation agreement with Siemens Healthcare GmbH ("Siemens"), a leading manufacturer and developer of diagnostic imaging equipment in general and Magnetic Resonance scanners specifically, to develop compatibility between INSIGHTEC's MRI guided Focused Ultrasound Systems (MRgFUS) and Siemens MRI scanners (the "Systems") with the intention to expand the MRgFUS market globally (the "Agreement"). According to the Agreement, the Parties will cooperate regarding the performance of R&D, integration, testing and approving the compatibility of the Parties' Systems. Each Party shall be solely responsible, at its own cost, to obtain the regulatory approval for its systems, and InSightec shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost, to obtain the regulatory approval for the combined system. Each Party shall bear all of its internal and external costs relating to its performance under the Agreement, except that InSightec shall reimburse Siemens an amount agreed upon in the Agreement, for its R&D costs. The Agreement also determines that each Party shall act independently in the marketing and sales of its component portion of the Combined System, and determines the amount InSightec shall pay Siemens for sales of the Combined Systems. The term of the Agreement is five (5) years from the first commercial sale of the combined system and shall automatically renew for additional 1-year periods, unless either Party has provided a notice for its non-renewal or of its termination, it in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Party shall have a limited liability towards the other Party for direct damages only. In addition, each Party is required to maintain a minimal insurance coverage for the purpose of the Agreement during the term of the Agreement and for a few years thereafter.
As for December 31, 2016, Elbit Medical holds approximately 31.3% of InSightec's issued and outstanding share capital (25.5% on a fully diluted basis) and York holds 29.5% of InSightec issued and outstanding share capital (24% on a fully diluted basis).
1. Gamida is engaged in developing cellular and immune therapies for the treatment of cancer and orphan genetic diseases. As of December 31, 2016, the Group holds, through Elbit Medical 24.66% in Gamida's voting and equity rights (approximately 22.5% on a fully diluted basis).
Gamida is devoting substantially all of its efforts toward research and development activities. In the course of such activities, Gamida has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue in the foreseeable future. Gamida's accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2016, is USD 97,462 thousand.
Gamida is addressing its liquidity issues by implementing initiatives to allow the coverage of budget deficit. Such initiatives include equity financing and costs reduction. Gamida's financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required should the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern. See also 21 E.
On September 1, 2014 Novartis invested USD 35 M in Gamida Cell in exchange for approximately 15% of Gamida Cell's share capital (fully diluted). On November 5, 2015 Elbit Medical informed that Novartis invested in Gamida Cell an immediate amount of USD 5 M (NIS 19.5 million) in exchange for approximately 2.5% of Gamida Cell's share capital (fully diluted) and now Novartis holds approximately 18% of Gamida Cell's share capital fully diluted).
In addition, in the event that by the end of 2017 Gamida shall raise the minimum remaining funding required to cover the Phase III study of NiCord, by way of an equity investment, Novartis will invest in Gamida, subject to certain conditions set in the Agreement, an additional amount of up to USD 10 million (NIS 39 million) (the "Future Investment").
On October 10, 2016, Gamida informed the Company that U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation status to Gamida's NiCord® ("Nicord"), due to improvement in absorption of neutrophils blood cells in bone marrow transplant for patients with high risk hematological malignancies (blood cancers).
Breakthrough therapy designation is granted to a drug that is intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases, and that preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement on a clinically significant endpoint(s) over available therapies.
A breakthrough therapy designation entitles the company to various benefits, such as: intensive FDA guidance, involvement of senior FDA managers in the process, option for a FDA rolling review of Nicord marketing approval application in the U.S (i.e. the FDA may agree to review parts of the application file which are submitted in phases, with no obligation of filling the whole file prior to the review commencement).

In March 2008 a wholly owned subsidiary of EPI ("SPV"), entered into a share subscription and framework agreement (the "Agreement"), with a third party local developer (the "Partner"), to acquire together with the Partner, through the SPV, up to 440 acres of land in Bangalore, India (the "Project") in certain phases as set forth in the Agreement. As of December 31, 2016, the Partner has surrendered sale deeds to the SPV for approximately 54 acres (the "Plot"). In addition, under the Agreement the Partner has also been granted with 10% undivided interest in the Plot and have also signed a Joint Development Agreement with the SPV in respect of the Plot.
On December 2, 2015 EPI has signed an agreement to sell 100% of its interest in the SPV to the Partner (the "Sale Agreement"). The total consideration upon completion of the transaction was INR 3,210 million (approximately NIS 181 million) which should have been paid no later than September 30, 2016 ("Long Stop Date"). On September 30, 2016, the Company announced that the transaction has not been completed and the parties has reached to preliminary understanding with the partner that the Long Stop Date will be extended subject to payments of advances by the Partner. Accordingly, on the same day the Partner has advanced an amount of INR 5 Crores (approximately NIS 2.8 million) to the SPV. On November 15, 2016, the Partner informed EPI that it will not be able to execute the next advance payments due, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company has received from the escrow agent the sale deeds in respect of additional 8.3 acres (the "Additional |Property) which has been mortgaged by the Partner in favour of the SPV in order to secure the completion of the transaction on the Long Stop Date. The Additional Property has not yet been registered in favour of the SPV. In addition, as per the Sale Agreement, the Company is acting in order to get full separation from the Partner with respect to the Plot and specifically the execution of the sale deed with respect of the 10% undivided interest, all as agreed in the Sale Agreement.
Through the end of the third quarter of 2016 the Company has included the investment in the SPV as investment in joint venture (50%) under the equity method since under the Agreement the partner was entitled to receive 50% shareholding in the SPV in case he will comply with all of his obligations under the Agreement and specially with respect to the purchase of all the acres included in the Agreement. As a result of the failure of the Partner to complete the transaction under the Sale Agreement and in accordance with the provisions thereto, EPI has 100% control over the SPV and the partner is no longer entitled to receive the 50% shareholding. Accordingly the Company has consolidated the financial statements of the SPV with the Company financial statement in this annual report.
On May 4,2016, the National Green Tribunal ("NGT"), an Indian governmental tribunal established for dealing with cases relating to the environment, passed general directions with respect to areas that should be treated as "no construction zones" due to its proximity to water reservoirs and water drains ("Order"). The restrictions in respect of the "no construction zone" are applicable to all construction projects.
The government of Karnataka had been directed to incorporate the above conditions in respect of all construction projects in the city of Bangalore including the Company's project which is adjacent to the Varthur Lake and have several storm-water crossing it.
An appeal was filed before the Supreme Court of India against the Order. The Supreme Court has stayed the operation of certain portions of the Order. At this stage, it is difficult to predict the amount of time that the Supreme Court of India will take to decide on the matter.
As for December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 the Group measured the net realizable value of the project.
The Group financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, include increase in the Company's shareholding in the SPV (as described above) and a decrease in the net realizable value of the Plot. The decrease in the value of the Plot in 2016 was made according to the comparable method and attributable mainly to the new NGT order described above, the interest that the partner still hold in the Plot (10%-as described above), the size of the plot and the noncontiguous land parcel.
As a result, the Group recorded a gain in the total amount of NIS 31.5 million in the Group financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 which was recorded as other income

The Company has rights under certain share subsection agreement to hold 50% shareholding in Indian SPV ("Project SPV"). The Project SPV has entered into an agreement for the purchase of a land located in Kochi, India according to which it has acquired 13 acres ("Property A") for a total consideration of INR 1,495 million (NIS 84 million) payable subject to fulfilment of certain obligations and conditions by the seller.

Elbit Medical Technologies Ltd., is an Israeli company traded on the TASE ("Elbit Medical") which holds the medical business of the Group through the holdings of two portfolio companies: InSightec (25.5% holding on a fully diluted basis) and Gamida (22.5% holding on a fully diluted basis). For additional information in respect of InSightec and Gamida - see note 5A and B.
As for December 31, 2016, the Company holds 89.9% (85.6% on a fully diluted basis) of the issued and outstanding share capital of Elbit Medical.
(1) PC conducts its activities in the field of establishing, selling and operating (until their sale) Commercial centers, as well as other mixed use projects (retail, office, residential) in Central and Eastern Europe. As of December 31, 2016, the Group holds 44.9% in PC's voting and equity rights (42.7% on a fully diluted basis).
Pc's financial statement as for December 31, 2016 and for the year then ended contain a disclaimer of opinion for several combined matters, as for additional information see "operating and financial review and prospects" "Unaudited financial statements of the Company"
PC's unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that PC will be able to meet the mandatory repayment obligations of its banking facilities and debentures, and other working capital requirements.
PC's primary need for liquidity is to repay its debt, fund working capital requirements of the operating shopping centers, develop new shopping centers and fund general corporate purposes. PC has incurred losses and experienced negative operating cash flows for the past several years, and accordingly, it has taken a number of actions to continue to support its operations and meet its obligations.
As at December 31, 2016 PC outstanding obligations to bondholders and banks are EUR 186.4 million (NIS 754 million) and EUR 82.3 million (NIS 333 million), respectively.
In November 2016, PC agreed with its bondholders to amend the terms of the early repayment requirement under the original debt restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan"). On March 15, 2017, PC repaid the required minimum early repayment to its bondholders and thus obtained a deferral of one year for the remaining contractual obligations of the debentures.
Information concerning PC's obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts such as debt agreements in the next 18 months is aggregated in the following tables.

(*) Out of which EUR 51.8 million (NIS 210 million) was repaid by the date of PC'S approval of its unaudited consolidated financial statements.
PC expects to increase the amount of its liquid balances during the next 18 months, by means of the following actions:
Sale of shopping centers in amount of EUR 146 million (NIS 590 million) Sale of plots of lands in amount of EUR 49.5 million (NIS 200 million) NOI and other income EUR 6.7 million (NIS 27 million)
PC's management expects that PC will be able to meet the remaining contractual obligations during the 13 months period following the approval of its unaudited consolidated financial statements by a combination of its assets disposal program and cash generated from operating shopping centers. PC's Management further expects that these actions are probable and will be executed in alignment with the anticipated timing of PC's liquidity needs.
PC's management acknowledges that the above expected cash flows are based on forward-looking plans and estimations which rely on the information known to PC's management at the time of the approval of PC's financial statements. The materialization of the above forecast is not certain and are subject to factors beyond PC's control. Therefore, delays in the realization of PC's assets and investments or realization at lower price than expected by PC's management, could have an adverse effect on PC's liquidity position and its ability to meet its contractual obligations on a timely manner.
PC's management further acknowledges that PC is exposed to foreign currency risk derived from borrowings denominated in currency other than the functional currency of PC, more specifically, a further devaluation of the EUR against the NIS can significantly increase the remaining contractual obligation to bondholders.
As discussed in Note 13 E (3) a, at the end of the reporting period PC is in compliance with all financial covenants required under the Restructuring Plan. However, as of the date of the approval of PC unaudited consolidated financial statements, PC is near the minimum ratio required in respect to the Coverage Ratio Covenant.
Since PC did not publish its financial statements within the deadline set out in the bond trust deeds and has not remedied the situation within the allowed time. This entitles the Bondholders to declare that all or a part of their respective (remaining) claims become immediately due and payable.
Since the trading of the PC's ordinary shares, Series A Notes and Series B Notes have been suspended from trading on the relevant exchanges. This may entitle the Bondholders to declare that all or a part of their respective (remaining) claims become immediately due and payable.
In the case that the Bondholders would declare their remaining claims to become immediately due and payable, PC would not be in a position to settle those claims and would need to enter to an additional debt restructuring or might cease to be a going concern. As at the date of approval of PC'S financial statements the Bondholders have not taken steps to assert their rights.
A combination of the abovementioned conditions indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the PC's ability to continue as a going concern.

PC has implemented the restructuring plan that was approved by the Dutch court on July 9, 2014 (the "Restructuring Plan").
Under the Restructuring Plan, principal payments under the notes that originally due in the years 2013 to 2015 were deferred for a period of four and a half years, and principal payments originally due in 2016 and 2017 were deferred for a period of one year (the "Extended Repayment Schedule").
The Restructuring Plan further provides that, if PC does not prepay an aggregate amount of at least NIS 434 million on the principal of the notes on or before December 1, 2016 (the "Early Prepayment"), the principal payments due under the Extended Repayment Schedule will be advanced by one year (the "Accelerated Repayment Schedule").
On November 29, 2016, PC's note holders approved to a postponement of the Early Prepayment date by up to four months and the reduction of the total amount of the required Early Prepayments to at least NIS 382 million (a reduction of 12% on the original amount).
In addition, PC agreed to pay to its Noteholders, on March 31, 2018, a one-time consent fee in the amount of approximately EUR 488 thousand (NIS 2 million) (which is equal to 0.25% from the Company's outstanding debt under the Notes at that time) (the "Consent Fee"). The consent Fee shall be paid to PC's Noteholders on a pro rata basis.
In addition to the above, the following terms were approved by the Note holders:
As for the date of the approval of the financial statement PC repaid the bondholder the entire NIS 382 million.
(***) The net cash flow received by PC following an exit or raising new Financial indebtedness (except if taken for the purpose of purchase, investment or development of real estate asset) or refinancing of Real estate Asset's after the full repayment of the asset's related debt that was realized or in respect of a loan paid in case of debt recycling (and in case where the exit occurred in the subsidiary - amounts required to repay liabilities to the creditors of that subsidiary) and direct expenses in respect of the asset (any sale and tax costs, as incurred) , will be used for repayment of the accumulated interest till that date in all of the series (in case of an exit which is not one of the four shopping centers only 50% of the interest) and 75% of the remaining cash (following the interest payment) will be used for an early repayment of the close principal payments for each of the series (A, B, Polish) each in accordance with its relative share in the deferred debt. Such prepayment will be real repayment and not in bond purchase.
As a result of the non-substantial modifications of terms regarding the approved amendment described above, PC calculated a new effective interest rate as follows:
| Effective interest rate | |||

The Company and certain Israeli subsidiaries have received final tax assessments, through 2010. Currently the Company is discussing the tax assessments for the years 2011-2014. Certain foreign group companies have received final tax assessments while others have not been assessed since incorporation.
G. The total accumulated current and deferred taxes expenses, which were charged directly to the shareholders' equity, as of December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 is NIS 85 million, NIS 68 million and NIS 32 million, respectively.
On July 11, 2013, the Company received a tax ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority ("ITA") as to the tax, if any, that would be applicable to the Company and the unsecured financial creditors as a result of the Arrangement. The ruling generally provides that, upon the closing of the Arrangement, the Company's unsecured financial creditors will be deemed to have sold their debt (first accrued interest and then outstanding principal) in consideration for the new notes and Shares issued in the Arrangement, which shall be valued at the respective closing prices thereof on the TASE on the first trading day following the closing. The Arrangement will be treated as a tax event for the Company, as well, namely, as financial income or forgiveness of debt in the amount of the difference between the amount of the Unsecured Financial Debt and the value of the new notes and Shares as aforesaid. The resulting gain may be offset against net operating losses, capital losses and impaired investments in subsidiaries. As a result of the closing of the Arrangement the Company recorded a gain for tax purposes in its financial statements. The Company does not expect any material tax liability as a result of such profit.

Certain legal claims have been filed against the Group's companies, including a claim that have been applied to certify as class actions suits.
In the opinion of the managements of the Group, which is based, inter alia, on legal opinions as to the probability of the claims, including the applications for their approval as class action, appropriate provisions have been included in the financial statements, with respect to the exposure involved in such claims.
In the opinion of the managements of the Group's companies, the amount of the additional exposure as of December 31, 2016, in respect of claims their chances to be realized are not remote, amounts to approximately NIS 11 million, excluding the class action and VAT assessments. Said amount does not include interest. In respect to motions to certify a claim as class actions, for which the Group has additional exposure in excess of the aforesaid (due to the fact that the exact amount of the claim was not stated in the claim), see items (1) below. In respect of VAT assessments see (3) below.
Following are the Group's material claims as of December 31, 2016:
In November 1999, a number of institutional and other investors (the "Plaintiffs"), holding shares in Elscint Ltd.(a subsidiary of the Company which was merged into the Company ("Elscint") instituted a claim against the Company, Elscint, the Company's former controlling shareholders, past officers in the said companies and others. Together with the claim a motion was filed to certify the claim as a class action on behalf of everyone who was a shareholder in Elscint on September 6, 1999 and until the submission of the claim, excluding the Company and certain other shareholders.
The plaintiffs argued that a continued and systematic oppression of the minority shareholders of Elscint took place, causing the minority monetary damage. According to the plaintiffs, said oppression started with the oppressive agreements made by Elscint for the realization of its main assets, continued with the sale of the control in the Company by Elron Ltd (and therefore indirectly also in Elscint) to companies held by former controlling shareholders("Harmful Sale"),continued further with the breach of a tender offer made by Company to purchase the minority shares in Elscint("Breach of Tender Offer") and ended with an agreement between Elscint and companies held by the former controlling shareholder for the acquisition by Elscint of the hotels portfolio and the Arena commercial center in Israel in exchange to excessive payment from Elscint. ("Hotels and Marina Transactions"). It should be mentioned that the Harmful Sale allegation is directed first and foremost against Elron which was the controlling shareholder of the Company at that time.
Due to these acts the Plaintiffs allege that the value of Elscint's shares dropped during the period between February 24, 1999 and the date at which the claim was instituted from USD 13.25 per share to USD 7.25. The main relief sought in the original claim was an order for the Company to consummate the purchase offer for USD 14 per share, and alternatively, to purchase Elscint's shares held by the Plaintiffs at a price to be set by the court. Further alternatively, the plaintiffs asked the court to grant injunction prohibiting the execution of Hotels and Marina Transactions and for the restitution of all money paid in connection with the above-mentioned transactions.
In January 2009, the district court dismissed the Plaintiffs' motion to certify the claim as a class action, which was appealed by them to the Israeli Supreme Court in March 2009. In May 2012, the Israeli Supreme Court upheld the plaintiff's motion to certify the claim as a class action with regard to the Hotels and Marina Transactions. In addition, the Supreme Court has upheld the Harmful Sale allegation that related to Elron and rejected certain other claims that were included in the original proceedings.
The Supreme Court noted that even though the claim was based on countless allegations and on dozens of legal grounds, the claim was certified as a class action based on only two causes of action: oppression of minority on the one hand and breach of fiduciary duties and recklessness on the other hand.
The Supreme Court remanded the case to the District Court with instructions.
In March 2014, the plaintiffs filed an amended statement of claim in which they argued for oppression of the minority of Elscint, mainly by: (a) refraining from distributing dividends; (b) directing Elscint's profits to its control-holders in unfair transactions; (c) executing the Harmful Sale transaction; (d) executing the Hotels and Marina Transactions.; (e) refraining from executing a tender offer for the minority shares in Elscint.
On May 8, 2013, the Company filed the District Court a motion to order that parts of the amended statement of claim be struck out as they do not correspond with the Supreme Court's decision dated May 28, 2012. More specifically, the Company argued that the plaintiffs' allegation with regard to the alleged tender offer and with regard to the alleged failure to distribute dividends can no longer be trialed in this case. The Company consequently asked the District Court to decide that the Company will remain a defendant in this case only under its capacity as assignee of all rights and obligations of Elscint (as Elscint had merged into the Company and ceased to exist as a legal entity).
The District Court dismissed this motion on June 30, 2013, stating, mainly, that the legal ground of "oppression of minority" could possibly contain claims regarding the alleged tender offer and the alleged failure to distribute dividends.
Following a motion filed by Directors of Elscint, the district court ordered the Company to state whether it would acknowledge that it made an obligation to its directors (and an obligation that Elscint made to its directors) to indemnify the directors. The Company informed the court that it acknowledged such previously made indemnification obligations which are subject to some reservations.
On April 6, 2016, the Company and some other defendants (i.e: The Company's and Elscint's former directors and officers) have entered into a settlement agreement with the Plaintiffs (the "Settlement"). The Settlement generally provides that in consideration of a total payment of NIS 46 million (a) the Hotels & Marina Transactions cause of action (as well as any other cause of action that is - or may be - directed against the Company and its former directors and officers and to Elscint and its former directors and officers) shall be exhausted with respect to all of the defendants; and (b) all other causes of action shall be exhausted with respect to the Company and its former directors and officers as well as with respect to Elscint and its former directors and officers.
The Company's share in the aforementioned compensation is NIS 4 million and the rest will be financed by the Company's D&O Insurance.
On April 12,2016, the District Court approved that the settlement agreement may be publicized, and on May 26, 2016 the District Court appointed Prof. Sharon Hannes to express his opinion whether the proposed settlement was fair and reasonable.
On August 7, 2016 Prof. Hannes filed his opinion to the court, stating mainly that to his understanding, and according to the limited information presented to him (taking into account that the defendants have not yet filed their evidence in chief), the claim is likely to be accepted, and the total damages suffered by Elscint's minority shareholders are estimated at 60 Million NIS. However, Prof. Hannes mentioned that the question whether the proposed settlement agreement was fair or not should take into account other factors as well.
On 11 September, 2016, the Attorney General ("AG") and the Israeli Securities Authority ("ISA") filed their joint opinion regarding the settlement agreement's fairness and reasonableness. The opinion states that the overall settlement compensation seems reasonable, and that the agreement should be lightly scrutinized, considering the long period of time that has passed since the procedure had commenced, and the legitimate aspiration that the class members receive compensation in due time.
However, the opinion points out specific clauses of the settlement agreement that should be amended. AG's and ISA's main claims were that:
Meanwhile, on 11 January, 2017, a second settlement agreement was filed, between the Plaintiffs and all the defendants who are not the Settling Defendants - i.e. Elron and its D&Os ("the Additional Agreement").
According to the Additional Agreement, the class will receive an additional compensation of NIS 5 Million to waive all remaining causes of action that were not already settled with the Settling Defendants. The Additional Agreement recommends that the class's attorneys will receive additional fees of 1.25 Million NIS.
On 22 January, 2017 The District Court decided that the Additional Agreement would be publicized; that interested parties, AG, and ISA may file their opinions or objections to the Additional Agreement within 30 days; and finally, that the certification of both settlement agreements will be discussed in a court hearing on 19 March, 2017.
During a court hearing held on 19 March, 2017, The District Court pointed out some difficulties in certifying the settlement agreements.
Following this hearing, the parties have reached a potential understanding that an additional sum of 4 Million NIS will be paid to the class members. The Company's share in this sum was expected to be 0.6 Million NIS.
On 30 April, 2017, after a court hearing, the District Court decided that the compensation offered in the settlement agreement was insufficient from the perspective of the class members, and that therefore the hearing of the trial should be continued.
The District Court ordered the defendants to file their evidence in chief until 4 June, 2017, and set a pre-trial in order to determine dates for cross examinations.
The Company has submitted a motion to appeal to the Supreme Court on the District Court's decision to dismiss the settlement agreement, alongside a motion to suspend any pending procedure in the District Court until the motion to appeal is resolved.
Based on -
The Company based on a legal advice received, believe that it is more likely than not that the outcome of such a motion to appeal will be the approval of the settlement agreement.
As for a dispute with an insurer which insured this law suit, see C 7 below.

(1) Within the framework of loan agreements executed by the Group's Project Companies (i.e., companies which engaged in the purchase, construction and operations of hotels and/or commercial centers), the Project Companies have undertaken to comply with certain financial and operational covenants. As of December 31, 2016, substantially all of the Group's borrowings from banks are subject to various financial and operational covenants, such as: complying with a "minimum debt service cover ratio," "loan to value"; complying with certain restrictions on interest rates; maintaining certain cash balances for current operations; maintaining an equity to project cost ratio and EBITDA to current bank's debt ratio; occupancy percentage; rental fee rates;, cross default with respect to the parent company financial position and others. Should the Project Companies fail to comply with said financial covenants, or upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the bank is entitled to demand immediate repayment of the loans.
The bank loans provided to the Company and its subsidiaries (excluding PC's Group) contain a cross default provisions by which if the Company's note holders will declare an event of default under the notes and will ask for immediate repayments of all or part of the Company's Notes it will constitute an event of default under these bank loans. PC Groups' bank loans contain similar cross default provisions with respect to PC's notes. Upon an event of default (whether due to cross-default or otherwise), the relevant lenders would have the right, subject to the terms of the relevant facility arrangements to, amongst other things, declare the borrower's outstanding debts under the relevant facilities to be due and payable and/or cancel their respective commitments under the facilities, enforce their security, take control of certain assets or make a demand on any guarantees given in respect of the relevant facility.
(2) Loans in the total amount of NIS 333 million are under non-recourse loan agreements. In the event of default of such a loan, the impact could be that the lender would have recourse only to that the specific property but not to any other assets (since the agreements do not contain cross-collateral provisions).

As for December 31, 2016, the MCRC is maintained.
c. PC is allowed to execute actual investments only if its cash reserves contain an amount equal to general and administrative expenses and interest payments for the Unsecured Debt for a six-month period (for this purpose also receivables with a high probability of being collected in the subsequent six-month period will be taken into account for the required minimal cash reserve).

The Group's Chief Operating Decision-Maker ("CODM") reviews the Group's internal reporting to assess the performance and to allocate resources. The CODM assesses the performance of the Group's segments based on Net Operating Income. Such Net Operating Income is excluding general and administrative expenses attributable to the Company's headquarter, financing income (expenses) and income taxes. In addition, the CODM is assessing separately the specific financial expenses of each segment based on the borrowings which are specifically attributable to the segment. All other financing expenses (income) (i.e.: financing expenses in respect of non-specific borrowing, interest income on investments and deposits and changes in fair value of financial instruments) were considered as unallocated financing expenses (income).
Majority of equity method investments are reviewed by the CODM in the same manner as subsidiary companies, i.e. each investment's income, expenses are reviewed on a separate basis. Accordingly, the amounts within each segment include these components of equity method investments, and are reconciled to the consolidated statements as adjustments.
The amounts considered for review purposes of these investments are as follows:
For purpose of these financial statements the following business segments were identified:
The Group's reportable segments for each of the years ended December 31 2016, 2015 and 2014 are: Commercial Centers, Hotel, Medical Industries and devices and Plots in India. All other operations identified by the CODM are included as "other activities". The assets of a reportable segment include mainly property plant and equipment (with respect to the Hotel) and trading property attributable to the Commercial Centers and the plots in India. Unallocated assets include mainly cash and cash equivalent as well as short and long term deposits and investments.
The liabilities of the reportable segments include mainly specific borrowings provided directly to the Project Companies (mainly companies which are engaged in the operation, construction and initiations of commercial centers and hotel) and which are usually secured by a mortgage on the property owned by these Project Companies. Other borrowings which were raised by the Group with no identification to certain operations (mainly notes issued by the Company and PC) were considered as unallocated liabilities.
The accounting policies of all reportable segments are the same as those of the Group, as described in note 2.
In January 2015, the Company realized the fashion apparel segment. Therefore, this segment is no longer considered as a reportable segment, and accordingly was excluded from segmental disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2014 (see note 19).

The operations of the Group expose it to risks that relate to various financial instruments, such as: market risks (including currency risk, cash flow risk with respect to interest rates and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
Market risk - is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices
Credit risk - is the risk of financial loss to the Group if counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Liquidity risk - is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The comprehensive risk management program of the Group focuses on actions to minimize the possible negative effects on the financial performance of the Group. In certain cases, the Group uses derivatives financial instruments in order to mitigate certain risk exposures.
The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The board is managing the risks faced by the Group, and confirms that any appropriate actions have been or are being taken to address any weaknesses.
The Group has exposure to the following risks which are related to financial instruments:
The Group has international activities in many countries and therefore it is exposed to foreign currency risks as a result of fluctuations in the different exchange rates.
Foreign currency risks are derived from transactions executed and/or financial assets and liabilities held in currency which is different than the functional currency of the Group's entity which executed the transaction or hold these financial assets and liabilities. In order to minimize such exposure the Group policy is to hold financial assets and liabilities in a currency which is the functional currency or the Group's entity. The Company's functional currency is the NIS and its investees use different functional currencies (mainly the EURO, Indian Rupee and the RON).
During 2015 and 2014, PC wrote call and put options in order to mitigate its foreign currency risk (EURO-NIS) inherent in its long term notes issued in NIS with an expiration date of October 2015, and March 2015. The options activity generated a net cash gain (loss) of NIS (1.5) million and NIS 1 million respectively.

The Group holds cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and other long- term investments in financial instruments in various reputable banks and financial institutions. These banks and financial institutions are located in different geographical regions, and it is the Group's policy to disperse its investments among different banks and financial institutions. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group is approximate to the financial assets presented in the balance sheet.
Due to the nature of it activity, the company, which operate at the hotel, are not materially exposed to credit risks stemming from dependence on a given customer. The company examine on an ongoing basis the credit amounts extended to their customers and, accordingly, record a provision for doubtful debts based on those factors they consider having an effect on specific customers.
A significant portion of the Group's long term loans and notes bearing a fixed interest rate and are therefore exposed to change in their fair value as a result of changes in the market interest rate. The vast majority of these loans and notes are measured at amortized cost and therefore changes in the fair value will not have any effect on the statement of income.
For further information see note 11.
Part of the Group's long term borrowings are bearing variable interest rate (see note 11). Cash and cash equivalent, short term deposits and short term bank credits are mainly deposited in or obtained at variable interest rate. Change in the market interest rate will affect the Group's finance income and expenses and its cash flow. In certain cases the Group uses interest rate swap transaction in order to swap loans with a variable interest rate to fixed interest rate or alternatively entered into loans with a fixed interest rate (see note 10 and 11 C (2)).
The following table presents the effect of an increase of 1% in the Libor rate (1% - 2015, 2% - 2014) with respect to financial assets and liabilities which are exposed to cash flow risk (before tax and before capitalization to qualifying assets):

(i) As PC's primary objective was to obtain the Deferral, this liquidity risk note is taking into account PC repayment in 2016 of the minimum net amount, as mentioned in note 11 E.
A significant part of the Group borrowings consists of notes raised by the Company and PC in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange which are linked to the increase in the Israeli CPI above the base index at the date of the notes issuance. An increase of 2% in the Israeli CPI in 2016 (2% - 2016, 3% - 2014) will cause an increase in the Group finance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 (before tax) in the amount of NIS 23 million, NIS 25 million and NIS 45.9 million, respectively.
The following table presents the book value of financial assets which are used as collaterals for the Group's liabilities:

The financial instruments of the Group include primarily, cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term deposits, marketable securities, trade receivables, short and long-term other receivables, short-term banks credit, other current liabilities and long- term monetary liabilities.
The fair value of traded financial instruments (such as marketable securities and notes) is generally calculated according to quoted closing prices as of the balance sheet date, multiplied by the issued quantity of the traded financial instrument as of that date. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded is estimated by means of accepted pricing models, such as present value of future cash flows discounted at a rate that, in the Group's assessment, reflects the level of risk that is incorporated in the financial instrument. The Group relies, in part, on market interest which is quoted in an active market, as well as on various techniques of approximation. Therefore, for most of the financial instruments, the estimation of fair value presented below is not necessarily an indication of the realization value of the financial instrument as of the balance sheet date. The estimation of fair value is carried out, as mentioned above, according to the discount rates in proximity to the date of the balance sheet date and does not take into account the variability of the interest rates from the date of the computation through the date of issuance of the financial statements.
Under an assumption of other discount rates, different fair value assessments would be received which could be materially different from those estimated by the Group, mainly with respect to financial instruments at fixed interest rate.
Moreover, in determining the assessments of fair value, the commissions that could be payable at the time of repayment of the instrument have not been taken into account and they also do not include any tax effect. The difference between the balances of the financial instruments as of the balance sheet date and their fair value as estimated by the Group may not necessarily be realizable, in particular in respect of a financial instrument which will be held until redemption date.
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

The shopping center, which is scheduled to open in April 2017 and PC will remain responsible for the development and leasing of the asset until the opening. PC's subsidiary shall pay all related development costs until the opening through a line of credit from a financing bank which was previously agreed for the development of Belgrade Plaza to a maximum amount of EUR 42.5 million (NIS 172 million).
Following the successful sale, PC has now received an initial advance payment of approximately EUR 31.5 million (NIS 127 million) from the Purchaser for the sale of 100% of the SPV. This will be followed by further payments during the first 12 months of operation, which are subject to certain operational targets and milestones being met. BIG Shopping Centers Ltd. has provided a guarantee to secure these future payments.
The final agreed value of Belgrade Plaza, will be calculated based on a general cap rate of 8.25% on the sustainable NOI after 12 months of operation, which PC estimates will be approximately EUR 7.2-7.5 million per annum. Parts of the NOI will be re-examined again after 24 months and 36 months of operation, which may lead to an upward adjustment of the final purchase price.
E. On March 8, 2017 the Company was informed by Gamida, that Gamida has signed a nonbinding Term sheet ("TS") with investment fund ("Investment Fund") with respect to investment in Gamida.
According to the TS, the Investment Fund shall lead an investment of USD 30 million, with additional investors, at a pre-money value of USD 120 million (the "Investment"). As a consideration, the Investment Fund and the additional investors shall acquire preferred shares and options for preferred shares of Gamida and will be entitled to some additional rights, including certain anti-dilution rights in Gamida.
As of the date herein, there is no certainty that a definitive agreement will be signed and/or that additional investors will participate in the Investment and/or that the Investment will be completed.

The Company is involved in investments in a wide range of different activities. Accordingly, management believes that its income statements should be presented in the "single-step form." According to this form, all costs and expenses (including general and administrative and financial expenses) should be considered as continuously contributing to the generation of overall income and gains. The Company also believes that its operating expenses should be classified by a function of: (i) those directly related to each revenue source (including general and administrative expenses and selling and marketing expenses relating directly to each operation); and (ii) overhead expenses which serve the business as a whole and are to be determined as general and administrative expenses.
The Company's strategy in respect of PC's commercial centers is to dispose of the commercial centers upon completion, subject to certain exceptions. In response to the lingering real estate and financing crisis in central and eastern Europe in previous years, and following discussion with the SEC, the Company's management determined that PC lacks sufficient consistent historical experience of trading property exact time line realizations in order to clearly identify the actual operating cycle of selling its trading property. Under such circumstances, the Company decided to utilize for accounting reporting purposes an assumed operating cycle of 12 months. Revenues from these commercial centers are mainly derived from their disposal to third parties, while until a disposal occurs the Company collects rental income from the Company's completed commercial centers. Therefore, rental income from commercial centers (from the first day of their operations until the sale thereof) may not be sustainable in the future upon PC selling the commercial centers as part of its business cycle.
The Company's revenues from the sale of commercial centers and other real estate properties are subject to the execution and consummation of sale agreements with potential purchasers. In periods when the Company consummates a sale of a real estate asset, the Company records revenues in substantial amounts and, as a result, the Company may experience significant fluctuations in its annual and quarterly results. The Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its historical results of operations may not necessarily be meaningful or indicative, and that investors should not rely on them as a basis for future performance.
Consequently, the Radisson Complex is presented as part of the Company's property, plant and equipment in the unaudited financial statements.
The majority of the Company's businesses, which operate in various countries, report their operational results in their respective functional currency which differs from the NIS (the Company's reporting and functional currency). The Company translates its subsidiaries' results of operations into NIS based on the average exchange rate of the relevant functional currency against the NIS. Therefore, a devaluation of the NIS against each functional currency would cause an increase in the Company's reported revenues and the costs related to such revenues in NIS while an increase in the valuation of the NIS against each functional currency would cause a decrease in the Company's revenues and costs related to such revenues in NIS.
