The Management Board of Kardan N.V. ("Kardan") commented on the results of the first quarter of 2011:
"In our press release regarding the 2010 results, we stated that the year 2010 was a transition year in which we made some strategic decisions, which were a) to deleverage Kardan at the holding level, b) to simplify the structure of Kardan and c) to switch from our "watch and hold" mode to develop new business opportunities. During the first quarter of 2011 we began to implement these strategic decisions. We sold 16% of our stake in our successful real estate company GTC SA in January 2011, raising approximately EUR 195 million, of which more than 50% will be used to deleverage Kardan. As a result, net debt of the combined holdings, excluding Kardan Israel, decreased by almost EUR 140 million to approximately EUR 500 million.
Furthermore, we sold VAB Bank, in the Ukraine, at the end of January, which significantly decreased our exposure to the Ukraine and eliminated the need to inject further cash to support the bank. The acquisition of Banka Sofia in Bulgaria, announced in April, should provide access to cheaper funding and thus improve the results of our consumer lending operations in Bulgaria and Romania, primarily through organic growth.
Tahal, our water infrastructure company, is reviewing many business opportunities, both on the project side as well as on the asset side. We have just signed an agreement for the development of a new wastewater treatment plant in Zichuan in China, where the need for these facilities is high. GTC China, our real estate company in China, is moving more towards mixed-use projects, comprising of both residential units and shopping malls, such as our project in Dalian. GTC SA started construction of an office building in Warsaw with a pre-let of 50%. Given the opportunities that we see for our water infrastructure businesses as well as for our real estate activities we plan to grow these existing businesses in their current markets and to initiate new real estate opportunities in Asia, whilst also looking to expand our water infrastructure presence worldwide" says Alain Ickovics, Chairman of the Management Board.
Summary Results and Movement in Equity of Kardan N.V. in Q1-2011
The net result of Kardan N.V. attributable to equity holders was break-even in Q1-2011 versus a loss of EUR 13 million in Q1-2010. The increase of EUR 13 million is mainly attributable to the Financial Services division (y-o-y increase of EUR 14 million).
Shareholder's equity of Kardan N.V. increased from EUR 334 million as of December 31, 2010 to EUR 351 million as of March 31, 2011. EUR 27 million is attributed to the sale of 16% of the shares in GTC SA at the end of January. The balance of movements in the hedge reserve and foreign currency translation reserve was EUR 11 million negative mainly due to the strengthening of the Euro against the Chinese Renmimbi.
The net contribution of the Real Estate division in the reporting period is EUR 3 million (Q1-2010 profit of EUR 3 million).
The contribution of GTC SA amounted to EUR 3 million in Q1-2011, similar to last year despite the decrease of the stake in GTC SA in January 2011 from 43% to 27%.The profit of GTC SA increased mainly due to positive revaluation results; rental revenues were also higher than in the same period last year as a result of new completions and an increase of rental rates in Polish retail centers, partially offset by lower residential sales due to a slower pace of handovers to buyers. The contribution related to GTC China decreased from EUR 4 million (Q1-2010) to EUR 1 million in the first quarter of 2011.The decrease is mainly due to lower revaluation profits. In Q1-2010, a revaluation profit (net of tax) of EUR 8 million was recognized with respect to the Chengdu shopping mall (completed in Q4-2010), compared to a revaluation profit of EUR 2 million in Q1-2011. The contribution from the delivery of apartments and rental income of the shopping center in Chengdu
increased to EUR 1 million (Q1-2010: break-even). Other expenses and tax decreased by EUR 2 million to EUR 2 million.
The Real Estate activity in Israel contributed EUR 2 million profit (Q1-2010: loss of EUR 2 million) on the back of positive revaluation results. GTC RE holding finance and general and administrative expenses amounted to EUR 3 million (Q1-2010: EUR 2 million).
The net contribution of the Water Infrastructure division amounted to a profit of EUR 1 million in Q1- 2011, in comparison to a break-even result in Q1-2010. The increase was driven by the growth in China, where Tahal Assets operates several waste water treatment plants and in Israel
The net contribution of the Financial Services division was EUR 4 million in Q1- 2011, compared to a loss of EUR 10 million in Q1-2010.
The contribution of the Retail Lending activities improved by EUR 21 million from a loss of EUR 17 million in Q1-2010 to a profit of EUR 4 million in Q1-2011. The main contributor to the improvement was VAB Bank, which can be explained as follows:
The sale of VAB Bank in January 2011 contributed a profit of EUR 4 million in Q1-2011, whereas in Q1-2010, the loss related to VAB Bank amounted to EUR 19 million.
The results of the remaining operating companies in the portfolio amounted to EUR 4 million in Q1- 2011, almost similar to Q1-2010, despite the sale of 16% of the shares in Sovcombank in Russia in the second half of 2010.
Finance, general and administration expenses of the holding companies KFS and TBIF amounted to EUR 4 million (Q1-2010: EUR 3 million).
The Insurance and Pension segment (TBIH) which was sold in November 2010 contributed in Q1- 2010 a net profit of EUR 7 million, mainly due to revaluation of KFS's put option to sell these activities.
The contribution of Sale of Vehicles segments was a profit of EUR 2 million in Q1-2011 (Q1-2010: profit of EUR 2 million).
The contribution of the Israeli Rental and Leasing of Vehicles segments was a loss of EUR 5 million in Q1-2011 (Q1-2010: profit of EUR 2 million). The decrease was mainly due to a loss of EUR 5 million recognized on a transaction that comprised of an increase of the stake in Avis Israel to 68% as well as to the sale of a stake in a real estate partnership.
Finally, Other Results, mainly including finance and general expenses not allocated to specific activities and the results of activities not attributable to a segment, amounted to a loss of EUR 5 million in Q1-2011 (Q1-2010: loss of EUR 10 million). The improved result is mainly due to positive foreign exchange differences on an un-hedged liability of Kardan N.V. denominated in Israeli NIS.
Developments within the divisions and segments in the first quarter of 2011
The main event in GTC, Kardan's Real Estate division, was the sale of 16% in GTC SA. In Central and Eastern Europe, GTC SA increased the completed commercial space from 532,000 sqm to 544,000 sqm. In China, 599 new sale contracts for apartments were concluded. Although less than the number of contracts signed in the last quarter of 2010 (805), this was still a significant number. The slowdown is a result of, among others, the government continuing taking measures to fight the increasing inflation and to curb speculation in the real estate market. GTC China holds a stake of 50% in these contracts. The shopping mall that was opened in November 2010, registered an increase of the occupancy rate to approximately 90%.
Tahal, Kardan's Water Infrastructure division, increased revenues y-o-y by 3% to EUR 40 million (Q1- 2010: EUR 39 million). The backlog of Tahal Projects was EUR 175 million at March 31, 2011 (yearend 2010: EUR 183 million). The decrease in project backlog is explained by the devaluation of the US Dollar versus the Euro.
Tahal Assets finalized the acquisition of the wastewater treatment plant in Xuanhua in China, contributing to the revenue increase of 20% y-o-y and its total assets by 26%. In the first quarter an agreement was signed to develop a new wastewater treatment plant in China.
Within Retail Lending (TBIF) of the Financial Services division (KFS), Sovcombank increased its gross loan portfolio by 8% q-o-q to EUR 605 million. Deposits decreased q-o-q by 4% mainly due to the withdrawal of a corporate deposit.
A strategic review in 2010 led to the decision to sell VAB Bank, which took effect at the beginning of 2011. Romania and Bulgaria, the two other countries in which TBIF is active in consumer finance activities, are still facing macroeconomic challenges. The consumer credit and leasing markets remained difficult, as consumer confidence and demand continued to be low.
The Rental and Leasing of Vehicles segment was negatively impacted by the fact that financing costs were low in the first quarter of 2011 and that cheap "mini cars" are now available to buyers.
The Sale of Vehicles segment benefitted from the Israeli automotive sales market, which continued to grow and increased by 26% in Q1-2011 in comparison to Q1-2010, with approximately 63,000 vehicles being handed over in Q1-2011. This led to very good results for UMI, but conversely damaged the leasing market as clients showed preference to buy a cheap mini car rather than a second hand larger (former lease) car.
Outlook 2011
General
Kardan identifies and develops assets in promising Emerging Markets.
The business model of Kardan is therefore to grow the Net Asset Value by expanding and investing in its asset base. Consequently, value creation is the prime focus, rather than short term profits. Operating cash flows are usually reinvested to support growth of assets, and selected sale of assets at the level of the subsidiaries may also occur from time to time for the same reason and or because these assets have reached their full potential from a Kardan perspective. As a result of this business model, upstream cash flows from subsidiaries to the holding companies and to Kardan are limited.
Depending on the circumstances, Kardan may confirm value creation on the subsidiary level either through a private equity investment or an IPO to further support growth. Kardan takes a long term view on all its assets. In 2010 and early 2011, however, Kardan sold some of its assets to strengthen its financial position and/or to benefit from specific opportunities. Kardan intends to continue to grow its asset base with a specific focus on real estate and water infrastructure. The growth in CEE real estate is expected to originate from GTC SA's own financing of its developments. The expansion in Asian real estate and water infrastructure will be funded through raising capital at the subsidiaries level.
With respect to the operations the outlook for 2011 is as follows:
Real Estate
In 2011, the platforms in CEE (GTC SA) and China (GTC China) plan to develop projects out of their existing land bank and to initiate new opportunities. In view of the increased interest of investors to buy assets in these markets at higher valuations, and in order to fund these developments they may decide to sell part of yielding assets, in line with the strategy as mentioned above.
For the Real Estate division, we expect that revenues both in CEE and in China will be higher than in 2010 (assuming no asset divestments and not taking into account the impact of the sale of Galeria Mokotow in Poland to Unibail Rodamco that was announced on May 26, 2011), due to, among others, new completions which took place in 2010. In CEE, we expect lower residential revenues as the markets remain challenging.
Based on the aforementioned developments, and taking into account the reduced stake in GTC SA (currently 27% as a result of the sale of 16% of the shares of GTC SA in January 2011), management expects the contribution of the Real Estate division in 2011 to the net profit attributable to Kardan shareholders to be positive.
Water infrastructure
Due to global shortage, demand for water will continue to increase worldwide. In 2011, Tahal aims to expand its presence worldwide and may raise additional Equity to grow the business.
With respect to the 2011 operational performance, it is expected that revenues will increase both for Tahal Projects and for Tahal Assets. For Tahal Projects the expected increase is based upon the existing and anticipated project backlog.
Revenues of Tahal Assets are expected to increase on the back of new completions in 2010, which did not contribute to the revenue during the full year 2010, as well as on organic growth of existing assets. Such revenue growth is also expected to translate into increased operational profits.
Financial Services
In light of KFS' leaner portfolio structure in 2011, after the divestment of the loss making operations in Ukraine and the significant decrease in leverage, 2011 will be devoted to further strengthening the existing investments, especially in Bulgaria and Romania and potentially seeking new synergies in these two countries.
In April 2011, TBIF signed an agreement to acquire the Bulgarian bank NLB Banka Sofia AD for EUR 15 million, to obtain a banking license in Bulgaria and to further strengthen its existing investments. Based on the developments in the first quarter of 2011, we expect that the net contribution of the financial services division will be positive, not taking into account as yet the impact of the announced acquisition of NLB Banka Sofia AD. As it is not yet known if or when the transaction will be closed, it is presently not possible to estimate the impact.
The market for Rental and Leasing of vehicles is characterized by availability of funding, increasing competition and stable market shares. Dan Vehicles, through AVIS, intends to maintain its market share whilst keeping its customer basis. Having gained control in AVIS early 2011, Kardan Israel may decide to increase its activities in synergetic businesses.
The market for Sale of vehicles is not expected to change substantially during 2011. UMI intends to market a number of new car models, in order to increase its market share.
Other
This segment mainly comprises of finance and general expenses not allocated to specific activities and results of activities not attributable to a segment. This segment is expected to be negative although at a lower level than 2010, due to the anticipated deleverage and also assuming no further weakening of the Israeli Shekel against the Euro with respect to the un-hedged NIS debentures.

Real Estate
Kardan is active in development and management of Real Estate mainly through GTC SA and GTC China, as well as through GTC Investments in Western Europe and Kardan Real Estate in Israel.
The largest holding, GTC SA, in which Kardan has a 27% stake (until January 20, 2011, Kardan held a 43% stake in GTC SA), operates mainly in Central and Eastern Europe. The results of GTC SA continue to be fully consolidated as effective control still exists. GTC China, fully owned by Kardan, develops residential and retail real estate in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in China, and focuses on developing mixed-use projects (residential and retail) as well as on managing commercial real estate.
In Q1-2011, the Real Estate division generated EUR 49 million revenues3 (Q1-2010: EUR 43 million).
General market developments Central and Eastern Europe (GTC SA)
In the first quarter of 2011, CEE countries continued to show careful macroeconomic recovery as a result of increasing external demand, recovery of capital flows and in some countries also an improvement in the domestic demand and labor markets. Higher oil and food prices have however led to increasing inflation which may put some pressure on the GDP growth expectations for 2011.
In Poland, where GTC SA has the largest part of its asset portfolio, GDP growth was at the low end with nearly 1% q-o-q, as an increase in VAT per beginning of January led to less private consumption. Poland remains one of the top performers of CEE however and is expected to show a healthy GDP growth of some 4% in 2011, driven by a strong manufacturing sector and increasing export. In addition, investment is expected to increase thanks to EU infrastructure projects and preparations for the UEFA football championship in Poland and Ukraine in 2012. Czech Republic continues to be attractive for foreign investors because of its low labor costs, strategic location and legislative system. Romania and Bulgaria are carefully returning to a growth of GDP, on the back of strengthening exports and increasing foreign capital inflows. It is noteworthy that Romania is decreasing its dependency on IMF money, as it has not drawn the last tranche of the stand-by agreement.
After a long period of illiquidity in the CEE Real Estate markets, transactions outside of Central Europe have also started to emerge again in the first quarter of 2011. Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania have seen institutional purchases again, and in Hungary investment turnover is also gradually improving. The majority of this activity is retail led. The recovery of the demand will increasingly lead to supply gaps, particularly for quality property, and decreasing vacancy levels. Construction activity is still subdued primarily due to financing constraints. As GTC SA has continued to develop both office properties as well as retail properties during the past few years, the company is well positioned to fill the current lack of availability of high quality properties.

Total revenue in Q1-2011 amounted to EUR 35 million, a y-o-y decrease of 6%. The buildup of the revenue development was as follows:
Rental revenues were up 2% y-o-y to EUR 24 million despite the fact that two office buildings (Topaz and Nefryt) were sold at the end of 2010 and consequently did not contribute to the rental income in the first quarter. The revenue increase mainly derives from assets which were completed after March 31, 2010, as well as from increases in rental rates specifically in shopping centers in Poland.
Service revenues were impacted by - 4% y-o-y to EUR 7 million as the result of the sale of Topaz and Nefryt office buildings at the end of 2010.
Residential revenues decreased in the first quarter of 2011 by 40% y-o-y, as a result of a slower pace of handovers to buyers.
Gross margin on rental revenue decreased slightly due to the sale of the Topaz and Nefryt office buildings.
For Q1-2011, the pre-tax revaluation gain amounts to EUR 14 million, mainly due to positive valuation of Galeria Mokotow. This well performing shopping center was sold after the balance sheet date (as further described in the "subsequent events" section), for an asset value of EUR 475 million. For Q1-2011, GTC SA has revalued the asset, based on market indication, to a value EUR 446 million.
Net profit in Q1-2011 doubled to EUR 8 million (Q1-2010: EUR 4 million).
The balance sheet of GTC SA remains solid. On March 31, 2011, GTC SA had EUR 160 million in cash and short term deposits (24% less than at March 31, 2010), as on the one hand investment activity is accelerating and on the other hand finance raising activity is adjusted to project development. Approximately 50% of GTC SA's debt expires in 2017 or later, whilst GTC SA currently has a loan to value of 50% (Q1-2010: 51%). The average cost of financing remains around 5.5% (6.1% in the corresponding period last year).
The completed commercial space increased to 544,000 sqm, up from 532,000 sqm as at year end 2010. The average occupancy rate for GTC SA is approximately 84%.
Average yield for completed commercial properties remained at the same level as at year end 2010: 7.9%.
The portfolio of investment properties under development at various stages of development will facilitate the construction of net area of 1.7 m sq m of commercial and residential space.
- Main events in the period were:
- o Avenue Mall Osijek (27,000 sqm), an entertainment and shopping center in Croatia signed lease agreements with various tenants. At opening of the Mall in April 2011, 90% was let.
- o On March 31, 2011 GTC SA obtained building permission for the construction of Platinium V, with a lease area of 11,000 sqm and 50% pre-let, in Poland. The construction started in April 2011.
General Market Developments in China (GTC China)
The Chinese economy expanded by 9.7% in the first quarter of 2011 (y-o-y) and 2.1% q-o-q. Of the three engines driving China's economic growth, consumer spending contributed 5.9 percentage points in the 9.7% GDP growth for Q1-2011. As food prices surged with 11% in comparison to the first quarter of 2010, the consumer price index rose by 5% in the first quarter,and thus also the inflation. The Chinese government considers keeping the price levels basically stable one of its primary tasks. Consequently, it is expected that more interest rate increases will occur this year, after the fifth interest hike since the start of 2010 was announced last April 5th.
Property Market
During the first quarter of 2011, investment in the property sector in China rose by 34.1% y-o-y. The residential sector was the main driver in this growth as, among other, the urbanization in China continues to be robust. Expectations are that between 2011 and 2020 China's urban population will increase by over 26% (approximately 160 million people). Consequently, lower-tier, lower-income regions and cities such as Chengdu and other Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities will grow in prominence.

GTC China is active in the residential and retail real estate markets.
In the above table, the number of units represents 100% of the sales and apartments handed over by the project companies. In general, GTC China owns 50% of these companies. The other information is derived from the financial statements in which the figures of the joint venture projects are proportionally consolidated.
Q1-2011 revenues for GTC China for the first time include a full quarter of rental and service revenue (Chengdu). Total revenue amounted to EUR 5.4 million in Q1-2011, an increase of 37%, which is mainly attributable to the rental revenue of Chengdu, GTC China's first shopping mall which was opened end of November 2010. Residential revenue increased
slightly by 2% in comparison to the same period last year, whereas some 17% less apartments were handed over.
- A net revaluation gain of EUR 2 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2011, wholly attributable to Chengdu. The occupancy rate of Chengdu as at March 31, 2011 was 89%.
- During Q1-2011 GTC China handed over 143 apartments to buyers (Q1-2010: 172). The Chinese government continues to take measures to control the inflation rate and to curb speculation in real estate. Although GTC China was not impacted by these measures during 2010, in Q1-2011 the number of units sold showed a marked slow-down (Q1-2011: 599 versus Q4-2010: 805).
- As the number of apartments handed over in the first quarter of 2011 was less than the number of sale contracts signed, the number of sold apartments still to be handed over as of March 31, 2011 increased to 5,455 (Kardan stake is 50%).
Developments Kardan Real Estate, Israel
Kardan Real Estate, owned for 71.8% percent by Kardan Israel Ltd, owns a stake of 30% in a residential project in Jerusalem called Holyland. This project is subject to an investigation by Israeli authorities of which the impact on Kardan N.V. is difficult to estimate. For further information reference is made to the notes to the Financial Statements as of March 31, 2011.
Water Infrastructure (Tahal)
Kardan is active in the infrastructure business and operates as a leading international engineering company, specializing in water-related infrastructure projects and water-related asset ownership through its 100% owned subsidiary Tahal Group International ("TGI"). TGI is active in approximately 30 countries, across 4 continents, primarily in Eastern Europe, China, Africa and Israel. TGI has two subsidiaries: Tahal Projects and Tahal Assets.
Tahal Projects engages in two basic types of projects: engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects as well as design projects. Tahal Assets invests in water-related assets such as municipal water systems, desalination plants and waste water treatment plants, mainly in China, Israel and Turkey. During the development phase these assets do not generate cash. After completion of the development phase, water is delivered to municipalities and industrial areas on the basis of long term concession rights (twenty to thirty years).
Revenues4 in Q1-2011 for TGI amounted to EUR 40 million in comparison to EUR 39 million over the same period in 2010.
Global Market Developments
Population growth, social mobility and industrial expansion fuel the demand for water. In addition, pollution and climate change increase the pressure on the world's rapidly diminishing fresh water supply. To address the effects of these economic, demographic and environmental factors, governments worldwide are allocating more funds to water infrastructure projects.
China, with 21% of the global population and roughly 7% of the world's renewable water supply, needs strategic measures to avoid severe water shortages on the longer term. One of the focal areas of China's five year plan (2011 – 2015) is water conservation, particularly relevant for Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, Tahal's target market in China. Substantial stimulus packages have been created by the Chinese government to tackle the current and imminent water problem in China. China encourages international expertise and investment with regard to specifically wastewater treatment plants.
In Africa, water management is a key focal area as water is imperative for food security and thus to the stability within countries. Specialized companies, such as Tahal, are invited to tender for numerous large water projects.

Financial Services (KFS)
Kardan operates in the financial services sector through its 100% holding in KFS, which owns 92% of TBIF (retail lending). In the last quarter of 2010, the sale of 40% which KFS held in TBIH (Insurance and Pension) to its co-shareholder, Vienna Insurance Group was completed.
During 2010, TBIF was active in banking, consumer finance, leasing and mortgages: in Russia and Ukraine, mainly through its stake in Sovcombank (Russia) and its stake in VAB Bank (Ukraine), and in Romania and Bulgaria, through its fully owned non-banking subsidiaries. After a strategic assessment of its banking asset in Ukraine (VAB Bank), Kardan decided to sell VAB Bank, which transaction was completed in January 2011.
In line with IFRS principles, the results related to Sovcombank (for Q1-Q3 2010), TBIH (full 2010) and VAB Bank (full 2010 and the result of the sale in Q1-2011), are presented in the discontinued operations Income Statement in the Financial Statements.
General Market Developments CEE/CIS
Russia
The Russian economy continues to grow, benefiting from the recent high price of oil. Industrial production remains a key driver for growth, although it slowed to 4.1% y-o-y in the first quarter of 2011. Manufacturing output however did increase and the outlook is looking positive for the coming months. Net exports have contributed significantly to the Q1-2011 growth. Retail sales have rebounded in Q1-2011, although real disposable income and increasing prices have reduced consumer purchasing power. This is generally noticeable in lagging asset and lending growth in the banking sector. Sovcombank has however not experienced a slowdown. Expectations are though that the banking sector will rebound in the second half of 2011, as private consumption and investments are anticipated to increase as the Russian government is putting high priority on improving the country's investment climate.
Romania
The Romanian economy grew by 0.8% in Q1-2011 y-o-y, indicating that Q1-2011 is the second consecutive quarter of economic growth. The gradual growth is mainly driven by export, as domestic demand is still weak due to, among others, an increase in VAT as of January 2011 and wage cuts. The unemployment rate fell however, after the government's labor reform. Consequently, it is expected that domestic demand will show recovery in the second half of the year. This may lead to a recovery for demand for consumer credits, the market on which TBIF is active. Foreign direct investments are growing, which may also help to achieve narrowing the fiscal gap to 5%/GDP in 2011 from 6.5%/GDP in 2010.
Bulgaria
Bulgaria's GDP increased between 0.5% and 1% in Q1-2011 according to the Centre for Economic Development. The financial performance of most of Bulgaria's public companies showed improved Q1-2011 results on the back of an increase in domestic market sales and stable earnings from sales abroad. These results are the first sign of a revival in the domestic market. Banking sector data also showed a slight increase in the demand for consumer loans, indicating that consumer confidence is gradually returning. Higher food prices and energy prices are driving up inflation though, which may have a negative influence on consumer purchasing power. Still, expectations are that the rebound in the export will outweigh the lagging domestic demand, thus accelerating GDP growth for Bulgaria.

Due to the sale of 16% of the Russian bank Sovcom to its co-shareholder in September 2010, the results of Sovcombank, before September 30, 2010, are recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Kardan as "discontinued operations" based on IFRS rules. Following the completion of the transaction, TBIF and the co-shareholder each own 50% of Sovcombank share capital. Consequently, starting September 30, 2010, the balance sheet and results of Sovcombank are proportionally consolidated in the Financial Statements of Kardan.
In the first quarter of 2011, Sovcombank continued to perform well. Net banking income increased by 41%, as a result of an increase in the gross loan portfolio as well as a higher than usual effect of commission income, which from Q1-2011 is recognized immediately and not spread over the tenor of the loan, whereas the company still benefits from the release of provision income related to loans originated in the past. The percentage of non- performing loans (NPL's) continued to improve to the low level of 2.7% as at March 31, 2011. Provisions increased due to one specific corporate loan, amounting to EUR 10 million, which, after thorough review of management, had to be fully provisioned, as it was defaulting.
The increase in the gross loan portfolio as at March 31, 2011, in comparison to December 31, 2010, is 8%. The Ruble depreciated against the EUR with 1%. The retail share in the loan portfolio is 56 % (December 31, 2010: 54%). In the first quarter of 2011, deposits decreased by 4% to EUR 735 million, mainly due to the withdrawal of a corporate deposit. The retail share in deposits is 86% (end of 2010: 78%). The impact of currency was negligible.
With the sale of VAB Bank and VAB Leasing in the first quarter of 2011, Kardan has ended its exposure to loss making operations in Ukraine. Only the profitable lease activities of Avis Ukraine remain part of the Kardan Group.
The other financial services activities, which include non-banking leasing and consumer finance (in Romania and Bulgaria), experienced a decrease of portfolios in all lines of business. The main reason for this is the ongoing challenging economic situation in those countries.

The Bulgarian and Romanian retail lending activities generated 30% less net banking income as a result of lower demand for products.
In April 2011, TBIF announced the acquisition, pending regulatory approval, of NLB Banka Sofia AD in Bulgaria. With the banking license, the retail lending activities will be less dependent on wholesale funding as they can start to attract deposits. This should have a positive impact on the margins going forward. Demand for lending remains slow however, as purchasing power in both countries is still at a low level and only very gradually improving.
Insurance and Pension
In November 2010, KFS completed a transaction whereby it sold its 40% stake in TBIH to Vienna Insurance Group. Following this transaction, Kardan has exited the insurance and pension segment.
Kardan is active in the Rental and Leasing of vehicles and Sale of vehicles segments in Israel. Kardan holds a 74% stake in Kardan Israel.
General Market Developments Israel5
According to the Israeli Central Statistics Bureau, Israel's GDP grew by an annual rate of 4.7% over the first quarter of 2011, after rising by 7.6% in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 4.8% in the third quarter. The continued economic growth will depend on the developments of the US and European markets which are the main target markets for Israeli exports. To avoid high inflation and to cool down real estate prices, the Bank of Israel raised its lending rate by 1% during Q1-2011 and in turn increased the prime interest rate to 4.5%. After the end of the first quarter the Israeli Central bank raised the interest rate by an additional 0.25%.
Rental and Leasing of vehicles
In this segment Kardan N.V. is active through Dan Vehicle & Transportation (operational under the brand name AVIS Israel), of which it indirectly held 50%. In March 2011, Kardan Israel increased its stake in AVIS Israel to 68% and became the controlling shareholder of that company.
5 This reflects market developments for both Rental & Leasing of vehicles as well as for Sale of vehicles
Developments of Rental and Leasing of vehicles
The leasing market in Israel has become more competitive due to lower demand and cheap and available finance for leasing companies. The demand for leasing of vehicles has decreased due to recent regulations in Israel on taxation of lease cars. As a consequence, employees are facing increasing income tax amounts, as the value of their lease car is considered to be additional compensation.
Developments AVIS Israel
The revenues and net profit of Dan Vehicle & Transportation (Avis Israel) in Q1 2011 decreased in comparison to the results of Q1 2010, mainly due to lower revenues and profit margin of second-hand vehicles. As of 31.3.11, AVIS Israel had a car fleet of approximately 30,200 cars.
Sale of vehicles
Developments of sale of vehicles
Israeli automotive sales market continued to grow and increased by 26% in Q1-2011 in comparison to Q1-2010, with approximately 63,000 vehicles being handed over in Q1-2011. In this segment, Kardan owns a 30% indirect stake of UMI, the exclusive importer of the core brands of General Motors in Israel; Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac, as well as Isuzu.
Developments UMI
In Q1-2011, UMI maintained its market share of approx. 7% and was able to increase its revenues by 23% vis-à-vis Q1 2010. The net profit remained stable due to a decrease in the gross profit margin, resulting from a different mix of the vehicles sold as well as due to corporate sales, which have a lower profit margin.
1.2 Main events in Q1-2011
Kardan
In January, 2011 - Kardan announced that Maalot, the Israeli subsidiary of Standard & Poor's ("S&P"), reported that it has changed the outlook on the rating of the debentures issued by Kardan (ilBBB+), from negative to stable. S&P states that the change in rating is mainly due to improved liquidity and greater financial flexibility for Kardan. Moreover, Kardan management confirmed that it intends to reduce its leverage by more than EUR 100 million during 2011.
Real estate (GTC)
- In January, 2011, Kardan announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, GTC Real Estate Holding B.V. ("GTC Holding"), had successfully sold 35,100,000 shares (representing 16% holdings) of GTC SA. The shares were sold at a price of PLN 21.50 per share. Gross proceeds amounted to PLN 754,650,000 (approximately EUR 195 million). The proceeds will be used by Kardan to increase financial headroom to implement its strategy, and to reduce its leverage. Following the sale, GTC Holding holds 59,529,180 shares in GTC SA, representing approximately 27.14% of GTC SA's issued share capital. In connection with the transaction, Kardan has agreed to retain its remaining interest in GTC SA for a period of at least 15 months.
- At the end of January, 2011, Kardan announced that its wholly owned subsidiary GTC China had signed an agreement to sell its 50% stake in a real estate project in Hangzhou, China. According to the agreement GTC China would sell its 50% holding in the real estate project company Hangzhou International Financial Center Co.Ltd. ("HIFC") to a Chinese real estate and investment company, Rich Holding Group Co. Ltd. This transaction was completed on April 1, 2011 following the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals. The consideration for the transaction amounts to RMB 269 million (approximately EUR 28 million on April 1,
2011). The transaction is expected to result in a gain for GTC China of approximately EUR 6 million net of withholding tax on the transfer of proceeds out of China, which for Kardan translates in an approximate gain of EUR 5 million (after IFRS adjustments on the holding level).
Financial Services (KFS)
In January, 2011, Kardan announced that TBIF signed agreements to sell its stake in VAB Bank, its Ukrainian banking operation, to a group of international investors represented by Troika Dialog investment bank. TBIF decided to sell its stake in VAB Bank following a strategic review. On January 28, 2011, the sale of VAB Bank was completed. The sale of VAB Leasing was completed on February 2, 2011.
Kardan Israel
In January, 2011, Kardan Israel signed an agreement to purchase the controlling stake in AVIS Israel and to simultaneously end its partnership with Dan Company for Public Transport Ltd. ("Dan") in Emed Real Estate Development & Investments Ltd. ("Emed"). Kardan Israel held 50% of the Emed shares through its subsidiary Kardan Emed Properties Ltd.("Emed Properties"). The other 50% of the Emed shares were held by Dan, Nahor Ltd., as well as by Dan members ("Dan Group"). Emed held 54.25% of AVIS Israel shares (authorized to use the brand name AVIS in Israel) which activities comprise both short term rental as well as operating leases.
Kardan Israel signed two agreements: i) to end the joint control held by Kardan Israel and Dan in Emed by selling its stake in Emed Properties to the Dan Group for a consideration of NIS (Israeli Shekel) 359 million (approximately EUR 77 million) and ii) to an agreement to increase Kardan Israel's indirect control in AVIS (via Emed Properties) by purchasing from Emed its 54.25% stake in AVIS Israel, in consideration for NIS 334 million (approximately EUR 72 million, following which Kardan Israel will have a stake of 68% in AVIS Israel. The transaction reflects a value of NIS 616 million (approximately EUR 133 million) for AVIS Israel. Following the completion of the transaction in March 2011, Kardan Israel recorded a loss of approximately NIS 35 million (approximately EUR 7 million) because the transaction value for the acquisition of the shares in Avis Israel exceeded the fair value on the date the transaction was closed. The transaction resulted in a change of control in AVIS.
1.3 Subsequent events
Beginning of April 2011, TBIF signed an agreement to acquire the Bulgarian bank NLB Banka Sofia AD ("Banka Sofia") from the Slovenian banks Nova Ljubljanska Banka and Factor Banka
This acquisition is in line with Kardan's strategy to further strengthen its existing investments in Bulgaria and Romania and to seek new synergetic investments in these two countries. The operations in Bulgaria and Romania are currently licensed as non-banking financial institutions. Consequently, they are limited in comparison to banks in their product array and in access to diversified funding possibilities. With the purchase of Banka Sofia, TBIF plans to upgrade its operation in Bulgaria into a full banking operation. TBIF plans to leverage on its vast experience and expertise with regard to branding, loan origination and underwriting as well as with deposit taking, to create an efficient banking operation focused on retail and SME banking. As of December 31st 2010, Banka Sofia had total assets of EUR 101 million, of which a loan portfolio of EUR 91 million and equity of EUR 12 million. The consideration for the acquisition is EUR 15 million. One of the sellers will maintain funding lines of up to EUR 15 million with Banka Sofia, for periods ranging from 3 months to 5 years.
In May, 2011, Globe Trade Centre S.A. ("GTC SA") signed an agreement to sell its 50% stake in Galeria Mokotow in Warsaw to an affiliate of Unibail Rodamco S.E. The transaction values the asset at EUR 475 million. The sale will generate approximately EUR 110 million of cash for GTC SA. The purchaser is an affiliate of Unibail Rodamco S.E.– the current co-owner and manager of the shopping center. The transaction will strengthen GTC SA's financial position
even more and facilitate future developments. The final execution of the transaction is subject to standard closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The estimated profit from this transaction for Kardan is approximately EUR 1 million.
The rental income (100%) of Galeria Mokotow in 2010 amounted to EUR 24.8 million.

In Q1-2011 the net profit attributable to equity holders of Kardan N.V. was break-even, an increase of EUR 13 million compared to the loss of EUR 13 million in the same period of last year.
Real Estate
The net result of the Real Estate division amounted to EUR 3 million, similar to the profit in Q1-2011 mainly as a result of the following:
- The profit of GTC's operating companies, net of tax, in Q1-2011 amounted to EUR 4 million, a decrease of EUR 1 million compared to the profit of EUR 5 million last year. Despite the sale of 16% of the shares of GTC SA in January 2011, the contribution of GTC SA was similar to Q1-2010. The main elements of the result are:
-
o In Q1-2011, the total revaluation profits net of tax amounted to EUR 5 million (Q1- 2010: profit of EUR 6 million). GTC China recorded a revaluation profit net of tax of EUR 2 million (Q1-2010: EUR 8 million) on the shopping centre in Chengdu, that was opened in November 2010. GTC SA booked a revaluation profit net of tax of EUR 3 million (Q1-2010: nil). The positive result is attributable to a shopping centre in Poland.
-
o Losses from the operating companies after tax, excluding revaluation results, amounted to EUR 1 million (Q1-2010: loss of EUR 1 million). The result of GTC SA is break-even. GTC China recorded a loss of EUR 1 million (Q1-2010: loss of EUR 4 million). EUR 1 million of the improvement is due to rental income from the shopping center in Chengdu that was opened in November 2010, as well as a higher gross margin, in comparison to the same period last year, from apartments which were delivered in Q1-2011. Other expenses and taxes of GTC China in Q1-2011 amounted to EUR 2 million (Q1-2010: EUR 4 million) and were lower because in last year one off expenses of EUR 2 million were recognized.
- Emed, a joint venture of Kardan Israel, sold a land plot in Tel Aviv. Just before the sale the land was positively revalued. This contributed a revaluation gain of EUR 2 million to Kardan (reference is also made to paragraph 1.2). The total contribution of the Israeli activities (Emed and Kardan Real Estate), including revaluation results, was a profit of EUR 2 million (Q1- 2010: loss of EUR 2 million).
- Finance expenses and general and administrative expenses on the level of GTC Real Estate Holding, the holding company of the Real Estate division, amounted to EUR 3 million in Q1- 2011. In the same period last year, the expenses amounted to EUR 2 million. The increase is explained by an increase of finance expenses.
Water Infrastructure (Tahal)
Tahal realized a profit of EUR 1 million in Q1-2011, an increase of EUR 1 million compared to the break even result in Q1-2010. Tahal operates through two segments: Tahal Projects and Tahal Assets.
- The result of Tahal Projects was break-even, like last year. Revenues amounting to EUR 22 million were a bit lower (-EUR 2 million) as the start of some projects was delayed, as well as due to some currency effect.
- Tahal Assets recorded a net profit of EUR 1 million (Q1-2010: breakeven). Revenues increased to EUR 18 million (+ 20% versus Q1-2010). The improved net result is attributable to the activities in China and Israel

KFS contributed a net profit of EUR 4 million in Q1-2011, compared to the Q1-2010 net loss of EUR 10 million. The contribution of the activities still in the portfolio as of March 31, 2011 was breakeven, similar to last year as is shown in the table below:
| Q1-2011 | Q1-2010 | |
|---|---|---|
| VAB Bank and VAB Leasing, sold in Q1-2011 | 4 | (19) |
| TBIH, mainly the revaluation of the option held by KFS to sell its stake to VIG |

4 | 5 |
| Finance and G and A expenses of KFS/TBIF companies |
(4) | (3) |
| Total contribution | 4 | (10) |
The profit is explained as follows:
The Retail Lending segment (TBIF) contributed a profit of EUR 4 million in Q1-2011 versus a net loss of EUR 17 million in Q1-2010.
- As shown in the table above, the profit in Q1-2011 is attributable to the sale of the shares of VAB Bank and VAB Leasing.
- The operating companies contributed a profit of EUR 4 million in Q1-2011, EUR 1 million less than in the same period of last year, mainly due to the reduced stake, from 66% in Q1-2010 to 50% in Q1-2011, in Sovcombank.
-
o The contribution of the companies in Bulgaria and Romania was slightly negative in line with Q1-2010, due to a decreasing portfolio as new business is still low.
-
o The contribution of Sovcombank was EUR 4 million in Q1-2011. In Q1-2011, the profit was positively impacted by full recognition of insurance commissions. The company also still benefits from amortized commission income relating to loans originated in previous years.
- o Provisions increased due to one specific corporate loan, amounting to EUR 10 million, which, after thorough review of management, had to be fully provisioned, as it was defaulting.
- Finance and General and Administrative expenses of KFS and TBIF in both Q1-2011 and 2010 are mainly caused by the net debt position of the companies and the expenses of the head office of the retail banking segment.
In July 2010, KFS signed an agreement to sell its stake of 40% in the Insurance and Pension segment (TBIH). In Q1 2010 this segment contributed a profit of EUR 7 million, mainly attributable to the revaluation to fair value of an option held by KFS to sell the stake in TBIH to the partner. The loss from operating companies in Q1 2010 was EUR 1 million.
Rental and Leasing of vehicles
The segment contributed a loss of EUR 5 million in Q1-2011, whereas in Q1-2010 a profit of EUR 2 million was realized. The decrease is mainly due to a loss attributable to a transaction concluded for obtaining control in Avis Israel. Reference is made to par. 1.2. The contribution of the companies operating under Avis brand in Israel and Ukraine was EUR 1 million, slightly lower than Q1-2010.
Sale of Vehicles
In Q1-2011, the contribution of UMI to the profit for equity holders of Kardan was EUR 2 million (Q1- 2010: EUR 2 million).
Other
Other activities include investments that are relatively immaterial ("Communications and Technology", "Import and Sale of white goods" and "El Har" which performs building construction works in Israel), general and administrative expenses, finance and tax expenses of Kardan N.V. and Kardan Israel Ltd. The total loss of these activities amounted to EUR 5 million (Q1-2010: loss of EUR 10 million).
The decrease of the loss is due to a decrease of the finance expenses of Kardan N.V. and Kardan Israel Ltd from EUR 7 million in Q1-2010 to EUR 1 million in Q1-2011. The decrease mainly relates to a positive currency change of EUR 4 million of the balance of the part of the Kardan N.V. Israeli Shekel (NIS) denominated debentures, which has not been hedged to the Euro. In Q1-2010 a loss of EUR 3 million was recognized on the revaluation of a forward transaction regarding Kardan N.V.'s Israeli Shekel denominated debentures that were purchased through a subsidiary that did not qualify for hedge accounting.
The Communications and Technology sectors contributed a loss of EUR 2 million (Q1-2010: breakeven). The loss is mainly attributable to a revaluation of the stake in a listed company, as well as finance expenses.
General and Administrative expenses of Kardan N.V. in Q1-2011 were EUR 2 million, equal to the same period of last year.
Equity attributable to the shareholders of Kardan N.V. as of March 31, 2011
As at March 31, 2011, the shareholder's equity of Kardan amounted to EUR 351 million, an increase by EUR 17 million compared to EUR 334 million at year-end 2010. This increase is composed mainly of the "capital gain" of EUR 27 million on the sale of 16% of the shares in GTC SA. This gain is not recognized in the profit and loss account because the transaction did not result in a change of control. According to IFRS 3, in such a case the "gain" needs to be recorded directly in equity. Other direct movements in shareholders' equity include an increase of EUR 6million of the hedge reserves and a decrease of EUR 17 million of foreign currency translation reserve, due the strengthening of the Euro against the Chinese Renmimbi.
The solvency ratio (shareholder's equity/total assets) of Kardan as of March 31, 2011 is 36%, in comparison to 32% as at year-end 2010.
As a result of transactions in Q1 2011, the net debt position of Kardan as of March 31, 2011 decreased to EUR 325 million from EUR 472 million as of December 31, 2010.

The aforesaid may not materialize completely or part thereof, or materialize in a different manner, including materially different from what is expected as a result of changes in the state of the market, difficulties in raising credit, decrease in value of investments and change in cash amounts expected to be received from affiliated companies

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2011
1. Corporate information
Kardan N.V. ('Kardan' or 'the Company') having its legal seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, was incorporated on May 2, 2003, and acts as an investment company which is engaged in the development of real estate, banking and lending, infrastructure projects, infrastructure assets, rental of vehicles and sale of vehicles and others through its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies.
The Company, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are referred to as 'the Group'.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the management board on May 30, 2011.
2. Basis of presentation and preparation
A. Basis of preparation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 as defined by the International Accounting Standards Board to be used for the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as at December 31, 2010.
It should be noted that following the sale of 16% of GTC SA shares in January 2011, the indirect interest of the Company in GTC SA decreased to 27.14%. Nevertheless and as further described in Note 6D below, the Company retained effective control over GTC SA and continues consolidating its financial statements.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 - except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations as of January 1, 2011 are noted below:
IFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations:
1. Measurement options available for non-controlling interest: The measurement options available for non-controlling interest ('NCI') have been amended. Only components of NCI that constitute a present ownership that entitles their holder to proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation shall be measured at either fair value or at the present ownership instruments' proportionate share of the acquirer's identifiable net assets. All other components are to be measured at their acquisition date fair value.
- 2. Clarifies Un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards and its accounting treatment within a business combination.
- 3. Contingent consideration arising from business combination Clarification that contingent consideration arising from business combination prior to adoption of IFRS 3 (as revised in 2008) are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3 (2005).
The adoption of the amendment did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Instruments: The amendment clarifies that an option to present an analysis of each component of other comprehensive income may be included either in the statement of change in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The adoption of the amendment will result in a change in the company's disclosures.
IAS 24 Related Party Transactions (Amendment)
The IASB issued an amendment to IAS 24 that clarifies the definitions of a related party. The new definitions emphasize a symmetrical view of related party relationships as well as clarifying in which circumstances persons and key management personnel affect related party disclosure requirements for transactions with a government and entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the same government as the reporting entity. The adoption will result in a change of disclosures.
IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements: The amendment requires additional disclosures for fair values and changes in classification of financial assets, as well as changes to contingent assets and liabilities in interim condensed financial statements. The adoption may result in a change in of disclosures.
New IFRS Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:
In May 2011, the IASB issued four new standards: IFRS 10, "Consolidated Financial Statements", IFRS 11, "Joint Arrangements", IFRS 12, "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities" ("the New Standards") and IFRS 13, "Fair Value Measurement", and amended two existing standards, IAS 27R (Revised 2011), "Separate Financial Statements", and IAS 28R (Revised 2011), "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures".
The New Standards are to be applied retrospectively in financial statements for annual periods commencing on January 1, 2013 or thereafter. Earlier application is permitted. However, if a company chooses early adoption, it must adopt all the New Standards as a whole (excluding the disclosure requirements of IFRS 12 which may be adopted separately). The New Standards prescribe transition provisions with certain modifications upon initial adoption.
The main provisions of the New Standards and their expected effects on the Company are as follows:
IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements:
IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 regarding the accounting treatment of consolidated financial statements and includes the accounting treatment for the consolidation of structured entities previously accounted for under SIC 12, "Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities".
IFRS 10 does not prescribe changes to the consolidation procedures but rather modifies the definition of control for the purpose of consolidation and introduces a single consolidation model. According to IFRS 10, in order for an investor to control an investee, the investor must have power over the investee and exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investee. Power is defined as the ability to influence and direct the investee's activities that significantly affect the investor's return.
According to IFRS 10, when assessing the existence of control, potential voting rights should be considered only if they are substantive, as opposed to the provisions of IAS 27 prior to its amendment which required consideration of potential voting rights only if they could be exercised immediately while disregarding management's intentions and financial ability to exercise such rights.
IFRS 10 also prescribes that an investor may have control even if it holds less than a majority of the investee's voting rights (de facto control), as opposed to the provisions of the existing IAS 27 which permits a choice between two consolidation models - the de facto control model and the legal control model.
The Company is evaluating the possible impact of the adoption of IFRS 10 but at present is unable to assess the effects, if any, on its financial statements.
IAS 27R - Separate Financial Statements:
IAS 27R supersedes IAS 27 and only addresses separate financial statements. The existing guidance for separate financial statements has remained unchanged in IAS 27R.
IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements:
IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 31 regarding the accounting treatment of interests in joint ventures and SIC 13 regarding the interpretation of the accounting treatment of non-monetary contributions by venturers.
IFRS 11 defines joint arrangements as contractual arrangements over which two or more parties have joint control.
IFRS 11 distinguishes between two types of joint arrangements:
-
Joint ventures in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. IFRS 11 requires joint ventures to be accounted for solely by using the equity method, as opposed to the provisions of IAS 31 which allowed the Company to make an accounting policy choice whether to apply proportionate consolidation or the equity method for entities under joint control.
-
Joint operations in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. IFRS 11 requires the joint operator to recognize a joint operation's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in proportion to its relative share of the joint operation as determined in the joint arrangement, similar to the current accounting treatment for proportionate consolidation.
The Company is evaluating the possible impact of the adoption of IFRS 11 but at present is unable to assess the effects on its financial statements.
IAS 28R - Investments in Associates:
IAS 28R supersedes IAS 28. The principal changes in IAS 28R compared to IAS 28 relate to the application of the equity method of accounting for investments in joint ventures, as a result of the issuance of IFRS 11, and the guidance for transition from proportionate consolidation to the equity method of accounting for these investments.
IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities:
IFRS 12 prescribes disclosure requirements for the Company's investees, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. IFRS 12 expands the disclosure requirements to include the judgments and assumptions used by management in determining the existence of control, joint control or significant influence over investees, and in determining the type of joint arrangement. IFRS 12 also provides disclosure requirements for material investees.
The required disclosures will be included in the Company's financial statements upon initial adoption of IFRS 12.
IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement:
IFRS 13 establishes guidance for the measurement of fair value, to the extent that such measurement is required according to IFRS. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. IFRS 13 also specifies the characteristics of market participants and determines that fair value is based on the assumptions that would have been used by market participants. According to IFRS 13, fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction will take place in the asset's or the liability's principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
IFRS 13 requires an entity to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. IFRS 13 also includes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine fair value as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (valuation techniques that do not make use of observable inputs).
IFRS 13 also prescribes certain specific disclosure requirements.
The appropriate disclosures will be included in the Company's financial statements upon initial adoption of IFRS 13.
The Company is evaluating the possible impact of the adoption of IFRS 13 but at present is unable to assess the effects, if any, on its financial statements.

2. Sale of Sintec Media
Further to Note 48(d) to the 2010 consolidated financial statements, in March, 2011 Kardan Communication Ltd. (which is included in the Company's 'others' segment), a fully owned subsidiary of Kardan Israel , sold all of its holdings in Sintec Media (accounted for as a financial asset at fair value through profit and loss), reflecting 16.63% (fully diluted) of Sintec Media's share capital, in consideration of €13.2 million (\$18.9 million).
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, in April 2011, an amount of €12 million (\$17 million) was transferred to Kardan Communication Ltd. The remainder of the consideration (\$1.9 million) was deposited in a trust and will be transferred within 18 months subsequent to the completion of the transaction.
3. Early repayment of a loan
In March 2011, a subsidiary of Kardan Israel purchased half of a loan that was due by Kardan Israel for an amount of €11.5 million (NIS 57 million). Kardan Israel repaid this loan to the subsidiary leading to an accounting loss of approximately €1.6 million (NIS 7.9 million)
4. Option plan - Avis Israel
In March 2011, the Board of Directors of Avis Israel approved an option plan to its executives. According to the option plan, a maximum of 671,811 options, exercisable to up to 671,811 ordinary shares of Avis Israel (reflecting 4%) would be granted. The options were granted after the balance sheet date, in May 2011.
The executives will be entitled to exercise the options after vesting periods as follows: 50% after two years from the date grant, 25% after three years and the remaining 25% after four years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable until six years from the date of grant.
The exercise price per option is €6 (NIS 29.71), reflecting the average closing price of Avis Israel's share on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange seven days prior to the date of grant.
The fair value of per option is estimated at €2.8 (NIS 13.86) at the grant date (reflecting a total benefit of €2.8 Million), using the binomial model and taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were granted.
5. Holyland
As stated in Note 33 C (11) to the 2010 consolidated financial statements, Kardan Real Estate (a subsidiary included in the Company's Real Estate segment, effectively 49% held) holds a 30% stake in Holyland Park Ltd. (–' Holyland'), which is the owner of the Holyland project in Jerusalem (intended for residential building and a hotel) (' the Holyland Project'). As of the date of approval of these financial statements the Holyland Project is in various stages of construction, including buildings for which construction has not yet begun.
In their review report for the interim financial statements of Holyland dated March 31, 2011 Holyland's auditors drew attention to management's inability to reliably assess whether there will be any additional possible effects of the matters described below on Holyland's financial position and the results of its operations in the future, beyond those which were already presented in financial information for this interim period. The auditors also drew attention in the framework agreement with a bank which will terminate on March 31, 2012, and to management's plans to extend the framework agreement, or repay the outstanding loan to the bank, among others, by way of realization of land and rights in land , following which, Holyland will no longer retain the operational assets it needs to realize its business goals as detailed hereunder, and also to the uncertainty regarding the realization of Holyland's management future plans.
In March 2011, notices were received from the Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office regarding indictments which are being considered against former officers of Holyland and Kardan Real Estate for alleged bribery charges. Filing the indictments is subject to a preliminary hearing.
In May 2011 Holyland received a notice regarding indictments which are being considered against it for alleged suspicion concerning certain offenses relating to the period before 2007, filing the indictment is subject to a preliminary hearing.
In light of a very preliminary stage in which the said proceedings against the Holyland are found and the fact that the evidence related to that matter were not yet examined, it is in the opinion of Holyland's management, that it is impossible to estimate at this point in time, the effects of such proceedings, if any, on Holyland's financial position and results in the future.
In May 2011 the Jerusalem District Planning and Construction Committee (–' the Regional Committee') approved the minutes from the meeting dated April 2011 which provides that the Regional Committee is convinced that the planning of the Holyland project contradicts the planning policy of the Regional Committee.
The Regional Committee also announced that it is considering new planning alternatives which include changes in the approved construction permits for buildings not yet built; the preferred alternative will be selected pursuant to filing of a new building plan. These decisions and others, have direct impact over all the plots in the Holyland Project for which the construction has not yet been completed (plots 13, 14, 15 and an additional plot zoned for hotels). The Regional Committee exercised its authority to issue a statement calling for the preparation of a new building plan for the entire Holyland Project and also set restrictions for the issuance of any new building permits.
Holyland's management estimates that the new building plan may adversely impact the current scope of approved construction. But it cannot reasonably and reliably determine its share in the renewed building plan. Holyland's management estimates that the period in which the new building plan be completed is approximately 5-7 years. Holyland's management also estimates, based on the opinions of its legal counsels, that the chance of Holyland receiving compensation due to these changes in planning are higher than 50%.
Following the above, Holyland's management reviewed, among other, with the assistance of independent external appraisers, the net realizable value of the land it owns, based on its fair value, and the need for impairment.
Following the aforesaid review Holyland's management incurred a provision for impairment of its inventory and land. Kardan Real Estate share in the losses of Holyland for the three months period ended March 31, 2011 amounts to approximately €2.5 million (NIS 12.5 million), of which the Company's share amounts to approximately €1.4 million (NIS 6.6 million). As of March 31, 2011 the carrying value of the investment in Holyland in Kardan Real Estate's books amounts to about €0.7 million.
As mentioned in the 2010 consolidated financial statements , Kardan Real Estate guarantees 30% of Holyland's bank loans.
As of March 31, 2011 the loans balance of Holyland was approximately €29 million. Holyland's management estimates, it is likely that if required to do so, it will be able to extend the framework agreement, in whole or in part, from time to time after March 31, 2012 (the date of the loan repayment). Also, Holyland's management estimates that the proceeds that will be received from the sale of the inventory it has, as well as the value of all property and rights in real estate and the guarantees it has available will enable the full repayment of the loans.
These assessments of Holyland's management are based, inter alia, on the rate of actual sales of apartments and the proceeds received, the fact that credit utilized by Holyland under the framework agreement is reducing and the collateral available to the bank. Holyland's management also relied on the valuations of an external real estate appraiser regarding the expected consideration to be received from a sale of Holyland's entire land and land rights if implemented in a very short time. However, there is no certainty that Holyland's management estimations be fully realized, since its realization does not depend exclusively in Holyland.
These interim financial statements include the effects of the above mentioned on the operations of Holyland, according to the best estimates of the management of Kardan Real Estate and Holyland, based on the information and data known to them at the date of approval of these interim financial statements, and based on the opinions of their legal counsels in this matter. However, at the date of approval of these interim financial statements, there is still uncertainty regarding the full implications of all of the aforesaid on the Holyland Project as a whole, by which the management of Kardan Real Estate and Holyland cannot reasonably and reliably estimate, as of the date of approving these interim financial statements, whether there are any additional effects of all the above on the financial position and results of operations of Kardan Real Estate in the future, beyond those already disclosed in these interim financial statements.
C. KFS
Disposal of the investment in VAB Bank and VAB Leasing
On December 9, 2010 TBIF (the holding company of the financial services-retail lending segment) entered into a series of agreements with international entities ("the Purchaser") whereby it was agreed that TBIF would sell to the Purchaser its stake in VAB Bank (the "Sale Transaction"). As part of this Sale Transaction it was agreed that the Purchaser would pay a purchase price, which was equal to the amount placed in the capital increase in December 2010 by TBIF (€ 52 million, UHA 550 million).
Following the capital increase, TBIF's shares in the Bank (84%) were transferred to the Purchaser and the Sale Transaction was completed on January 28, 2011.
On December 9, 2010, TBIF also entered into an agreement with VAB Bank to sell to the Bank its holdings in VAB Leasing (100%) in consideration of \$ 4.5 million. The transaction was completed on February 2, 2011.
Following the completion of both transactions in the first quarter of 2011, TBIF recorded a net gain of € 3.9 million, of which € 5.5 million gain relate to VAB Bank and € 1.6 million loss relate to VAB Leasing.
D. GTC
Sale of Shares - GTC S.A
A. In January 2011 GTC Real Estate Holding B.V.('GTC Holding', which is included in the Company's Real Estate segment) sold 35,100,000 shares of GTC S.A., constituting 16% of GTC S.A.'s share capital. The shares were sold at a price of PLN 21.50 per share. Gross proceeds amounted to approximately €195 million (PLN 754,650,000); net proceeds amounted to approximately €188 million.
Following the transaction, GTC Holding holds 59,529,180 shares in GTC S.A., representing an interest of 27.14% in GTC S.A.
Even though that GTC Holding holds 27.14% of the shares of GTC S.A., it retained the power to govern the financial and operating policies of GTC S.A under its statute as it has majority of the supervisory board members. That fact, in combination with the spread of the other shareholders of GTC S.A. as well as the historical voting patterns at the general meeting, result in retaining effective control over GTC S.A. Accordingly, GTC Holding continues consolidating the financial statements of GTC S.A.
As a result of retaining control over GTC S.A, the transaction was accounted in accordance to IAS27, as an equity transaction. As such, the difference between the consideration received and the increase in the balance of non controlling interest which increased the Company's equity, considering the partial disposal of goodwill and reattribution of amounts were previously recognized in other comprehensive income, to non controlling interest holders transactions reserve.
The Company will keep monitoring any change in facts and circumstances, in order to confirm there are no triggers for loss of control.
7. Subsequent events
A. In April 2011 TBIF has signed an agreement to acquire the Bulgarian Bank, NLB Banka Sofia AD in consideration of €15 million. As of December 31, 2010, Banka Sofia had total assets of €101 million, of which a loan portfolio of €91 million and equity of €12 million.
Closing is subject to certain conditions precedent such as approval of Bulgarian National Bank and the Bulgarian Competition Authority.
- B. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, in April 2011, GTC China sold all its interests in the joint venture company - Hangzhou International Financial Center Co. Ltd. ('HIFC') to a Chinese real estate and investment company, (Rich Holding Group Co. Ltd.) for a consideration of approximately €30 million (RMB 269 million. The transaction resulted in a gain for the Company of approximately €5 million which would be recognized during the second quarter in 2011.
- C. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on May 26, 2011, GTC SA signed an agreement with an affiliate of Unibail Rodamco S.E. to sell its 50% stake in the company which holds the shopping center Galeria Mokotów in Warsaw. The transaction values the asset at €475 million. The closing of the transaction is subject to standard closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The estimated profit from the transaction to Kardan amounts to less than €1 million, as most of it was recognized from revaluations in the past.

Review report
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Kardan N.V., Amsterdam (the "Company") as at March 31, 2011 and the related interim condensed consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three month period then ended and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review.
Scope
We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law which include audit standards equivalent to International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Opinion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
