For details regarding the agreement for acquisition of the activities and with respect to this area of activities, which constitutes a reportable business segment for accounting purposes commencing from the interim statements as at March 31, 2021 – see Sections 2.3.1 and 17 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) which is included in the Periodic Report for 2020 and the updates presented in this report (including the interim statements).

The CPV Group was established in 1999 and since that date it has initiated and constructed power plants with an aggregate capacity of about 14,800 megawatts, of which about 4,850 megawatts using wind energy, whereas the other about 9,950 megawatts is from conventional power plants.

27 The information presented in this section with reference to development projects of the CPV Group, including regarding the number of projects, their characteristics (the capacity, technology, etc.), the cost per megawatt, constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized or the manner in which it will be realized. It is clarified that as at the date of the report there is no certainty regarding the actual execution of the development projects (in whole or in part), and their progress is subject to, among other things, completion of development and licensing processes, obtain control over the lands, signing agreements, execution of construction and connection processes, assurance of financing and receipt of various regulatory approvals and permits, which as at the present time have not yet been completed. It is clarified that particularly in the initial development stages, the scope of the projects and their characteristics have not yet been formulated and are subject to changes. Ultimately, the development projects (or some of them) may not be executed, this being due to, among other things, various factors including those that are not under CPV's control. It is noted that the Rogue's Wind project, which is in the advanced initiation stage in the near term, is included in the above table. It is noted that the ability to locate new projects in relevant energy markets, with price and liquidity levels that support new construction constitutes a significant success factor for the development activities. In addition, regarding renewable energy projects, it is important that the country or region wherein the CPV Group seeks to construct new projects have the possibility to generate additional revenues through sale of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). It is further noted that in the estimation of the CPV Group, additional factors that impact the development activities include, among others: obtaining sufficient control over the lands; the ability to connect to the electricity grid at a strategic connection point at a low connection cost; obtaining the permits required for construction of new projects, including compliance with all the environmental requirements; and the ability to raise sufficient debt and equity for construction of new projects.

28 In general, the CPV Group views projects that in its estimation are in a period of up to two years or up to three years to the start of the construction as projects in the advanced development stage (as stated above there is no certainty the development projects, including projects in the advanced stage, will be executed). It is noted that that stated depends on the scope of the project and the technology, and could change based on specific characteristics of a certain project, as well as from external circumstances that are relevant to a certain project. It is clarified that in the early development stages, the scope of the projects and their characteristics are subject to changes, if and to the extent they reach advanced stages.

29 All the capacities in the solar technology are denominated in MWdc. The capacities in the solar technology projects in the advanced development stages and in the early development stages are about 995 MWac and about 575 MWac, respectively.

3. Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in Israel in the period of the report and thereafter:

A. In December 2020 and in the months January through May 2021, replacement and renovation work was performed with respect to certain components of the gas turbines in the Hadera Power Plant as part of anticipated activities. In this framework, in January 2021, the replacement and renovation work in one of the gas turbines was completed and in May 2021 the replacement and renovation work of the second gas turbine was completed. Accordingly, in the first half of 2021, there were about 65 maintenance days during which the Hadera Power Plant operated on a partial basis. The performances of the gas turbines commencing from the end of the replacement and renovation work are in accordance with that expected from them.

In March 2022, additional essential maintenance work is expected to be performed (hereinafter – "the Additional Work") in the steam turbine for a period of time estimated at about 60 days.30. It is noted that performance of the said replacement and renovation work without interruption could be impacted by traffic restrictions resulting from the Coronavirus crisis in light of the need for arrival of equipment and foreign work teams.

For details regarding discussions with Hadera's construction contractor with respect to compensation for the delay in the commercial operation of Hadera and non-compliance with the performances as stipulated in the construction agreement – see Note 9D(2) to the Interim Statements. As at the submission date of this report, no compensation had been received from the construction contractor (except for amounts unilaterally offset by the Company from payments to the construction contractor and the construction contractor has raised contentions regarding this matter in the aforesaid notification.)

As at the submission date of this report, no amounts have been received under the insurance policy. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to receive reimbursements and/or compensation in respect the full amount of its direct and indirect damages31 .

Further to that stated in Sections 8.5.1.2 and 8.5.3.1 to Part A of the Periodic Report for 2020, it is noted that as at the publication date of the report, the factory of Hadera Paper Mills had not yet been connected to the Hadera Power Plant, and there is no certainty regarding the completion date of the connection. Hadera is taking action with Hadera Paper Mills in this regard. Completion of the connection depends on, among other things, technical and operational factors and if the connection is not successfully completed, there could be an adverse impact on Hadera.

30 That stated with reference to the Company's estimates of the execution dates of the Additional Work and/or of the duration of the Additional Work, includes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law. The aforesaid information may not be realized, or may be realized in a manner different than expected, including as a result of reasons that are not under the Company's control, such as coordination of dates with the contractor or equipment supplier, the manner of performance of the work by the contractor, technical breakdowns or other delays, including factors impacted by the Coronavirus crisis. Partial operation or shutdown of the power plant during extended periods of the renovation and replacement work count impact Hadera's ability to comply with the power plant's availability (capacity) provisions (regarding this matter – see also Sections 8.10 and 8.12.3 of Part A (Description of the Company's Business) in the Periodic Report for 2020) and regarding the results of Hadera's activities.

31 It is emphasized that that stated above, including regarding the Company's estimates with respect to coverage of the costs stemming from the delay, as stated above (including lost profits) in accordance with the insurance policy and/or receipt of compensation from the construction contractor for the delay damages and/or non-compliance with the plant's performances, includes "forward-looking" information, as defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the Company's estimates as at the date of the Report, and regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized. That stated may not be realized or may be realized in a manner that is significantly different than expected, in a case where all of Hadera' contentions are not accepted. As a practical matter, if compensation is not received for all of the costs and/or damages (direct and/or indirect) in connection with the delay in completion of the construction and the commercial operation and/or regarding non-compliance with the plant's performances as provided in the agreement, this could have an adverse impact on Hadera'ss results and activities. For additional details regarding the risk factors involved with construction projects, including Hadera – see Section 20.3 of Part A (Description of the Company's Business) in the Periodic Report for 2020.

3. Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in Israel in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)

B. Further to that stated in Section 8.13.6 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) of the Periodic Report for 2020 regarding the anticipated operation date of the Karish natural gas reservoir and possible delay of the said operation date, in May 2021 Energean sent Rotem and Hadera an update notification whereby due to a force majeure event, so Energean contends, the first gas from the Karish reservoir is expected in the middle of 202232 .

Due to the delay in supply of the gas from the Karish reservoir compared with the original projected date, Rotem and Hadera will be required to acquire the quantity of gas it had planned to acquire from Energean for purposes of operation of the power plants at the present gas prices, which are provided in the agreements of Rotem and Hadera with Tamar and which are higher than the price stipulated in the Energean agreement. Accordingly, the delays in the commercial operation date of Energean and in supply of the gas from the Karish reservoir will have an unfavorable impact on the Company's profits. In this context it is noted that in the agreements with Energean compensation limited in amount for delays has been provided, as stated, the amount of which depends on the reasons for the delay, where the limit with respect to the compensation in a case where the damages caused is "force majeure" (in accordance with that stated in the agreement) is lower. As at the publication date of the report, Energean contends that the source of the delay is force majeure. The Company rejects Energean's contentions that a force majeure event is involved under the gas acquisition agreement with Energean In June 2021, Rotem and Hadera received a letter from Energean wherein Energean gave notice of its intention to pay Rotem and Hadera the reduced compensation in respect of delay in the commercial operation – this being in light of Energean's position that the reason for the delay, as stated above is force majeure. It is noted that in July 2021, Rotem and Hadera communicated to Energean that they remain firm in their position that Energean did not comply with the provisions of the agreement for force majeure and they reserve their rights pursuant to the agreements with Energean regarding this matter, including payment of the amount of the full amount of the compensation in respect of the delay.

C. On January 1, 2021, the annual update of the electricity tariffs of the Electricity Authority for 2021 entered into effect, according to which the generation component, which declined at the rate of about 5.7%. The generation component constitutes about 86% of the load and time tariff ("TAOZ") at the highest-voltage summer peak, system costs constitute about 8% of the TAOZ at the highest-voltage summer peak, and infrastructure services constitute about 6% of the TAOZ at the highest-voltage summer peak. The said decline in the generation component has a negative impact on the Company's income in 2021 compared with 2020, including in the period of the report. For additional information regarding the generation component in prior years – see Note 25B to the consolidated financial statements for 2020, and see, among other things, section: Additional Details regarding the activities in Israel (Section 5) below. Regarding the factors impacting the generation component – see Section 7.7.1 of Part A (Description of the Company's Business) of the Periodic Report for 2020. Regarding the seasonal impacts on the results of the Company's activities in Israel – see Note 1A to the Interim Statements and that stated in this Directors' Report below.

32 That stated above, including regarding the commercial operation date of the Karish reservoir, and regarding supply of the gas to the Company, includes "forward-looking" information as defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the data received by the Company from Energean as at the publication date of this report and additional publicly-available data, and there is no certainty it will materialize. Ultimately, the expected impact on the project timetables or a delay in the operation date of the Karish reservoir may be delayed beyond the estimated time, and he impacts on the Company could be more than that stated above – this being due to factors that are not under the Company's control. In addition, there is no certainty regarding the amount of the compensation that will be received in respect of the delay (if any), which may not cover the full amount of the Company's (direct or indirect) damages.

3. Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in Israel in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)

  • D. On February 22, 2021, further to the principles provided in the decision of the Electricity Authority on August 5, 2020, the Electricity Authority made a decision regarding determination of an arrangement for suppliers that do not have means of generation ("virtual supply") and revised the Standards for existing suppliers, in order to gradually open the supply area in the electricity sector to new suppliers and supply to household consumers.33 As part of the decision, the Electricity Authority determines Standards and tariffs that will apply to suppliers that do not have means of generation and that will allow them, subject to receipt of a supply license and provision of security, to purchase energy from the System Administrator for their consumers. The pricing will be based on a component that is based on the SMP pricing mechanism (the half-hour marginal price) and components that are impacted by, among other things, the scope of the consumption at peak demand hours. The arrangement for suppliers that do not have means of generation is limited to a quota that was provided in the principles of the arrangement and customers having a consecutive meter only (about 36,000 household customers and about 15,000 household industrial/commercial customers). In addition, for purposes of opening the supply area to competition, as part of the decision the Electricity Authority revised the Standards for suppliers regarding, among other things, the manner of assigning the consumers to a private supplier, the manner of concluding transactions, moving from one supplier to another and payment of the account. On April 7, 2021, the Electricity Authority published for the public's comments the language of the license for suppliers as part of virtual supply ("a Virtual Supply License") and update of the timetables for opening the supply area to competition, according to which commencement of the said activities is expected to take place on September 1, 2021. Further to that stated in its request, in July 2021 the Company received a Virtual Supply License. A license, as stated, was also granted to Gnrgy (in which, as at the publication date of the report, the Company holds an interest of 27% – see Note 3E below). Further to that stated, the Company submitted a request for assignment of certain customers in the scope of about 110 MW with the goal of assigning them to the virtual supply activities. On August 19, 2021, the Company received a notification from Israel Electric Company whereby the assignment requests submitted by the suppliers were approved subject to completion of technical examinations. For additional details regarding provision of guarantees in connection with the virtual supply – see Note 9B(3) to the interim statements. As at the date of the report, the Company is making preparations for execution of the virtual activities.
  • E. In April 2021, the Company signed an agreement for acquisition of shares ("the Share Purchase Agreement") of Gnrgy Ltd. ("Gnrgy"), which is engaged in the area of charging services for electric vehicles (e-mobility) and construction of charging posts for electric vehicles. On May 9, 2021, completion of the Share Purchase Agreement was executed – this being after the preconditions for its execution were fulfilled, in such a manner that as at the publication date of this report, the Company holds about 27% of Gnrgy's share capital. For details regarding Gnrgy and its activities, and for details regarding completion of the Share Purchase Agreement (as amended) and with respect to signing of a shareholders' agreement with the founder of Gnrgy, Mr. Ran Aluya, including regarding a purchase ("call") option granted to the Company by the developer, as stated, and with reference to the additional completion of the transaction scheduled to be executed up to December 15, 2021 – see Note 9I to the consolidated financial statements and the Immediate Reports dated April 13, 2021 and May 10, 202134 .

3. Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in Israel in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)

F. Further to that stated in Section 14.2.6.4 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) of the Periodic Report for 2020 regarding application of the decision of the Electricity Authority with respect to deviations from Rotem's consumption plans, in May 2021 IEC notified Rotem according to its approach sale of energy to end-consumers in excess of the generation capacity of Rotem's power plant, deviates from the provisions of the PPA agreement between it and IEC (as stated in Section 8.14.5.1 to the Periodic Report for 2020). Rotem's position regarding the PPA agreement is different, and in any event to the best of Rotem's understanding the matter is expected to be impacted by supplementary arrangements that are to be determined by the Electricity Authority further to the decision of the Electricity Authority, as stated in Section 14.2.6.4 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) of the Periodic Report for 2020.

In May 2021, the Electricity Authority published a hearing regarding revision of the standards for purposes of implementation of the market model on the existing private generation and on the renewable energies according to which application of the market rules to the various types of generators is governed, including bilateral generators and generators with fixed availability (capacity) that operate in the framework of Regulation 241, and broad changes are proposed to the market rules35. The Electricity Authority notes in the said hearing that that it is proposed at this stage to exclude from application of the decision the Rotem generation unit, to which a special regulation applies that requires adjustments in a number of aspects, and that the Electricity Authority is presently examining all the changes required in the regulation that applies to this unit in order to create regulatory uniformity between it and the other private generation units, and in this regard it will also include consider application of the market rules to it. The impact of the hearing on Rotem depends on the final arrangements that will be determined (if any).

In June 2021, Rotem was informed that the Professional Staff of the Electricity Authority intends to recommend to grant Rotem a supply license (the language of the license has not yet been disclosed) and at the same time to impose certain covenants on Rotem regarding the generation activities and the supply activities, including an extraordinary consumption format, as noted above36, including arrangement of the manner of applying the above-mentioned market model to Rotem and the manner of determination of the price when generation at the plant is reduced. Based on the information received, the team intends to take action to implement the above-mentioned arrangements, subject to a hearing, from January 2022. As at the date of the report, Rotem is examining its position regarding all the aspects arising from the Professional Staff's position, as stated, and the impact thereof. It is clarified that making of a decision regarding the matter is subject to publication of a hearing, which as at the publication date of the report a hearing had not yet been published and, accordingly, as at the date of the report supplementary arrangements, as noted, had not yet been determined, and there is no certainty regarding their final language.

G. In May 2021, Hadera and Rotem received a notification from Nobel Energy in connection with emergency discontinuance of the activities of the Tamar Reservoir, commencing from May 11, 2021, due to the instruction of the Minister of Energy in light of the security situation that existed in Israel. It was stated in the notification that according to Nobel Energy's position, the event constitutes a force majeure event pursuant to the gas agreements Hadera and Rotem signed with it. It is pointed out that as at the date of the report, supply of the gas to Hadera and Rotem during the shutdown period is continuing as usual from the Leviathan Reservoir. In addition, a force majeure notification with reference to the security events was also provided by Zomet's construction contractor. The Company rejected the contentions of Zomet's construction contractor. It is noted that on May 22, 2021, the supply of gas from the Tamar Reservoir was resumed.

36 For additional details regarding the matter of granting a supply license to Rotem and the decision regarding deviation from the consumption plan and its impacts – see Sections 8.12.2, 14.2.6 and 20.3.5 to the Periodic Report for 2020.

3. Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in Israel in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)

  • H. In June 2021, the Electricity Authority published a "call" regarding update of the hourly demand rates on the basis of which the tariff is determined for customers of Israel Electric Company37 . It would appear that the "call" will impact all the prices in the Israeli electricity market – this being to the extent it is formulated into a hearing and a decision and subject to the scope of the update that will be determined. If the format determined in the "call" is determined as it was published this could have a negative impact on the Company's activities in Israel. As at the date of the report, the matter is in an early stage, which the Company believes requires clarifications and explanations, and there is no certainty whether the update proposed in the framework of the "call" will be formulated into a hearing and a decision, the scope and format of the update that will be determined, and the manner of its application and/or the timing thereof. Accordingly, as at the date of the report, there is no certainty regarding the manner and extent of the impact on the Company, which will examine from its standpoint its possible courses of action.
  • I. Further to that stated in Section 2.3.3 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2020, in June 2021, Sorek 2 signed a number of agreements in connection with construction of the Sorek 2 project, as follows:
    • A. Construction and equipment supply agreements (EPC) Sorek 2 signed a planning, procurement and construction agreement (EPC) with BHI Co. Ltd., a company incorporated in South Korea, which served as the project's construction contractor (in this Section – "the Construction Contractor"), in a "Lump-Sum Turn-Key" format, whereby the Construction Contractor will construct a facility for generation of energy powered by natural gas with an installed capacity of up to 87 megawatts – all based on the milestones, conditions and dates provided in the agreement with respect to each of the agreement's components (in this Section – "the Construction Agreement"). A company from the IDE Group is also a party to the Construction Agreement (as the customer) wherein systems relating to the desalination facility are supplied and this party is liable for the payment in respect thereof. The share of Sorek 2 in the total consideration to the Construction Contractor is estimated at about \$42 million, which also includes the consideration for acquisition of the gas turbine as detailed below38. It is noted that the Construction Agreement provides, among other things, mechanisms for agreed compensation limited to a ceiling amount for lateness, non-compliance with performances and availability requirements along with the scope of the responsibility and requirements for provision of guarantees in the project's various stages.

In addition, Sorek 2 signed an agreement with companies from the General Electric Group ("together – "GE") for supply of the facility's gas turbines for generation of the energy. As part of the agreement, GE undertook, among other things, to supply the turbines and the accompanying equipment, accompany the Construction Contractor, test runs and testing of the equipment – all of this on the conditions and pursuant to the milestones and timetables as agreed between the parties. Based on the consent of the parties, after issuance of a limited notice for commencement of performance of the work (LNTP) and transfer of the first payment to GE, the Equipment Supply Agreement was assigned to the Construction Contractor, in the Construction Agreement referred above.

In July 2021, an agreement was signed that arranges the manner of making decisions and allocation of responsibility between Sorek 2 and a company from the IDE Group, as stated, in connection with the Construction Agreement with the construction contractor, where except for cases provided in the agreement, the arrangements are mainly derived from the share of each party in the Construction Agreement and on a mechanism for joint decisions. For purposes of securing the liabilities of Sorek 2 under the agreement, the Company provided a corporate guarantee limited to a ceiling amount.

B. Long-term maintenance agreement – Sorek 2 signed an agreement with GE covering long-term maintenance of the turbines and accompanying equipment for a period of 16 years, with the possibility of extending it to 25 years, for a consideration of an aggregate payment of up to \$29 million (based on the period) subject to the milestones stipulated in the agreement ("the Maintenance Agreement"). The Maintenance Agreement includes customary provisions in connection with agreed compensation limited to a ceiling amount, relating to the performance and compliance with the maintenance timetables, and GE's responsibility for its equipment and services.

The Maintenance Agreement includes guarantees of the parent company for the liabilities of every third party. It is noted that the above-mentioned agreements will require, among other things, approval of the Desalination Administration, in accordance with and as required in the concession agreement signed by IDE and the State of Israel in connection with the desalination facility and the project.

As at the publication date of the report, the Company estimates that its construction cost of the Sorek 2 project, including its share in the Construction Agreement and the equipment supply agreement, which constitute most of the said cost (without the long-term Maintenance Agreement), at about NIS 200 million39 .

J. Further to Government Decision No. 171 from July 202140, regarding transition to a low-carbon economy, wherein national targets were set for reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases, including a target for reduction of the annual quantity of greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 by at least 85% of the annual quantity measured in 2015, the Government decided as part of Government Decision No. 286 from August 202141 , the Government decided to instruct the Minister of Finance to amend the Excise Tax on Fuel Order (Imposition of Excise Tax), 2004, and the Customs Tariffs and Exemptions Order and Purchase Tax on Goods, 2017, such that it will result in a gradual internal absorption of the external and environmental costs of carbon emissions, commencing from 2023, in the scope detailed in the Decision. As at the date of the report, the Company is studying the Decision and is examining the extent of the impact on its activities, which is expected to be derived from, among other things, the manner of application of the Decision and its impact on the mix of the components of the generation component in each of the years after its application (if ultimately applied).

39 It is clarified that that stated regarding the Company's estimates with respect to the construction cost constitutes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on estimates and assessments the Company makes as at the publication date of the report and there is no certainty it will be realized. The said information may not be realized or may be realized in a manner different than foreseen, due to, among other things, dependency on various factors, such as, the final scope of the costs in respect of the development and the land, the final conditions of the agreements with suppliers, connection to the infrastructure networks and occurrence of any of the risk factors the Company is exposed to. For additional details regarding risk factors involved with construction projects – see Section 20.3 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) in the Periodic Report for 2020.

3. Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in Israel in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)

K. Coronavirus – in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus to be a worldwide pandemic. Despite taking preventative measures in order to reduce the risk of spread of the virus, the virus continued to spread and it has caused significant business and economic uncertainty and volatility in the global markets, which were partly caused by the preventative measures taken and imposition of restrictions by various governmental entities worldwide. As at the date of the report, the virus is continuing to cause business and economic uncertainty. In the Period of the Report, there is a trend in recovery in the scope of the economic activities throughout the world, including removal of some of the restrictions on movement (travel) and carrying on of business and trade. At the same time, as at the date of the report, along with vaccination of the population at high rates, due to the outbreak of new mutations (mainly the Delta mutation), the virus is continuing to spread at significant rates both in Israel as well as in other countries, and accordingly restrictions are being imposed and may be imposed in the future on movement and on activities.

As at the date of the report, up to now the Coronavirus Crisis had not had a significant impact on the Company's results and activities in Israel. Nonetheless, in light of the uncertainty regarding the duration of the Coronavirus crisis, the intensity thereof and its impacts on the markets and factors relating the Company's activities (such as, employees, significant customers, significant suppliers, lenders, etc.), as well as the uncertainty regarding the measures that will be taken by government entities, as at the date of the report, the Company is not able to estimate with any certainty the full impact of the Coronavirus Crisis on the Company. Spread of the virus and infections at the Company's power plants and other sites, continuation of the Coronavirus Crisis for an extended period, a significant impact of the Coronavirus Crisis on main suppliers (such as, suppliers of natural gas, construction and maintenance contractors, etc.) or the Group's main customers, continuing movement restrictions, could have an unfavorable impact on the Company's activities and results, as well as on its ability to complete construction projects on time or at all and/or on its ability to execute future projects. The Company is continuing to take steps in order to ensure the health and safety of its employees in all of the Company's facilities and offices, to maintain the level of activities in all its various facilities in and outside of Israel in order to reduce the potential impact of the pandemic on its business. For additional details regarding the Coronavirus Crisis and its possible impact on the Company in Israel – see Note 1B to the Interim Statements. For details regarding the impact of the Coronavirus Crisis (according to the contentions of Energean) on the date of the flow of the gas from Karish Tanin reservoir – see Section 3B above.

It is noted that the activities of the Company's active power plants in Israel, as well as the construction activities of the Zomet Power Plant, are continuing in the restrictions' period since they are deemed to be essential activities while preparing the work teams and taking safety measures to prevent infections and outbreaks at the Company's sites. It is further pointed out that the continuity of the construction work on the Zomet Power Plant or the renovation and maintenance work at the Rotem Power Plant and the Hadera Power Plant could be impacted by the traffic (movement) limitations due to the Coronavirus Crisis in light of the need for arrival of equipment and foreign work teams.

For additional details regarding the Company's area of activities in Israel – see below in this Report of the Board of Directors and the notes to the Interim Statements.

4. Main developments in the Company's activities in the United States in the period of the report and thereafter:

A. Further to that stated in Section 17.1.3 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) in the Periodic Report for 2020, the electricity price and the natural gas prices (the main fuel of the power plants powered by natural gas of the CPV Group) are main factors in the profitability of the CPV Group, as well as the capacity prices in the activity areas of the CPV Group's power plants. A number of variables impact the profitability of the natural gas-powered power plants of the CPV Group, including the price of various fuels, the weather, load increases and unit capacity, which cumulatively affect the gross margin and the profitability of the CPV Group. The PJM electricity prices were about 55% higher and about 60%–65% in the first half and the second quarter of 2021, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2020. The ISO-NE NYISO electricity prices were about 90%–95% and about 60%–70% higher in the first half and the second quarter of 2021, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2020. The average price of natural gas in Henry Hub was about 78% about 75% higher in the first half and second quarter of 2021, respectively, than in the corresponding periods in 2020. In general, in the currently existing generation mix, to the extent the gas prices are higher the electricity margins of the CPV Group are expect to be higher, such that the marginal energy prices will be higher and will favorably impact the CPV Group's electricity margins42 . This impact is partly offset by plans hedging electricity and gas prices in the CPV Group's power plants, which are intended to reduce changes in the gross margin of the CPV Group resulting from changes in the commodity prices in the energy market. The CPV Group's profitability is also impacted by the capacity of the power plant and as a practical function of the current operation and maintenance work, along with planned and unplanned maintenance.

Demand for electricity in the markets in which CPV operates:

In the PJM market – in the first half of 2021, the demand for electricity in the PJM market was about TWh 379, compared with demand of TWh 360 in the first six months of 2020, reflecting an increase of about 5.3% (source: PJM).

In the NYISO market – in the first half of 2021 the demand for electricity in the NYISO market was about TWh 72, compared with demand of TWh 70 in the first six months of 2020, reflecting an increase of about 3% (source: NYISO).

In the ISO-NE market – in the first half of 2021 the demand for electricity in the ISO-NE market was about TWh 56, compared with demand of TWh 54 in the first six months of 2020, reflecting an increase of about 3.8% (source: ISO-NE).

Regarding the seasonal impacts on the results of the activities in the United States – see Note 1A to the Interim Statements and that stated in this Report of the Board of Directors below.

42 That stated regarding the impacts of the natural gas prices on the profitability of the CPV Group is "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on estimates of the CPV Group in accordance with the characteristics of its activities on the publication date of the report only, and there is no certainty it will be realized. That stated could change due to various factors, including factors not under the control of the CPV Group.

Energy prices

In the six months and three months ended on June 30, 2021, the electricity prices rose in the markets in which the CPV Group operates, compared with the six-month and three-month periods ended on June 30, 2020. Most of the increase stems from an increase in the natural gas prices, an increase in demand in 2021 and relatively hot weather in June 2021. The following table summarizes the average electricity prices in each of the main markets in which the projects of the CPV Group are active in the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Capacity payments

In the PJM market (wherein a number of projects of the CPV Group are active, as stated above), the capacity payments vary between the market's sub-regions, as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capabilities. In June 2021, a tender on capacity tariffs was held (Capacity Auctions) in the PJM market for the 2022–2023, where the capacity price is effective for the period June 2022 through May 2023. The capacity tariff in the general PJM market (RTO) tender is low compared with the capacity tariff in the prior tender for 2021–2022, while in the activity areas relevant to CPV's projects, the capacity prices determined were higher compared with the price determined in the general market (RTO). It is noted that all of CPV's active power plants operating in the PJM market received capacity tariffs. Pursuant to PJM publications, the main factors impacting the above-mentioned capacity tariffs include a decline in the peak demand forecast of 1.6% compared with the prior peak demand forecast (reflecting a decline of 2.4 GW (gigawatt)), an increase in the supply of plants that are expected to enter into activities in 2022 of about 6.0 GW, and the tender behavior of the bidders. In the months that passed since publication of the results of the tender in June 2021, power plants having a capacity of about 8 GW in the PJM market gave notice of their exit from activities, of which 5.4 GW are power plants powered by coal and 2.3 GW are nuclear power plants.

Set forth below are the capacity tariffs in the sub-regions that are relevant to CPV's projects and the market in general:

Similar to the PJM market, in the NYISO market availability (capacity) payments are made in the framework of a central mechanism for acquisition of capacity. In the NYISO market, there are a number of submarkets, wherein there could be various capacity demands as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capability. NYISO makes seasonal tenders in every spring for the upcoming summer (May through October) and in the fall for the upcoming winter (November through April). In addition, there are supplemental monthly tenders for the balance of the capacity not sold in the seasonal tenders. Power plants are permitted to assure the capacity payments in the seasonal tender, the monthly tender or through bilateral sales. The CPV Valley power plant is in Area G (Lower Hudson Valley).

Set forth below are the capacity prices determined in the seasonal tenders in NYISO market. It is noted that the actual capacity prices for CPV Valley are impacted by the seasonal tenders, the monthly tenders and the SPOT prices, with variable capacity prices every month, as well as bilateral agreements with energy suppliers in the market.

The ISO-NE permits availability (capacity) payments as part of a central mechanism for acquisition of capacity. In the ISO-NE market, there are a number of submarkets, wherein there could be various capacity demands as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capability. Forward capacity tenders are made 3 years in advance for the capacity year. In addition, there are supplemental monthly tenders for the balance of the capacity not sold in the Forward tenders. As stated in Section 17.2.1 of the Periodic Report for 2020, when Towantic entered into the capacity market, the project assured a fixed capacity payment for seven years which is granted to new players. Payment of the capacity, as stated, will apply up to May 2025.

4. Main developments in the Company's activities in the United States in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)

  • B. On March 31, 2021, the President of the United States presented a proposal the target of which is construction of clean energy infrastructures. The proposal addresses many sectors in the U.S. economy, including energy infrastructures. This part of the proposal focuses on expansion of renewable energy generation facilities by means of "refundable tax credits"44 and a clean energy standard. In addition, the proposal includes financing for transmitting electricity and energy infrastructures that support generation of renewable energy and cancellation of tax benefits for generation and transmission of fossil fuels. In August 2021, the Democrats in the U.S. Senate presented a proposed decision for a budget of about \$3.5 trillion, including investments for coping with climate change and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, in infrastructures budget was approved in the Senate, in the scope of about \$1 trillion, for renovation of roads and bridges and financing of initiations in climate preservation areas. As at the publication date of the report, there is uncertainty regarding the said legislative developments and their impacts, as well as the language of the final laws and their impact. The said legislation and regulation could have a material impact on the demand for electricity by means of advancement of reduced-carbon transportation and economy and concurrently raising the standards for generation of electricity using clean energy.45
  • C. Further to that stated in Section 17.2 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) in the Periodic Report for 2020, in connection with a wind energy power plant having a capacity of 152 megawatts (Keenan) (in this Section – "the Project"), which is held (at the rate of 70% as at the date of the Periodic Report for 2020) by the CPV Group46, on April 7, 2021 an agreement was signed for acquisition of the balance of the rights in the Project by the CPV Group (that is, the remaining 30%), in exchange for a consideration of about \$25 million. Upon completion of the acquisition, the CPV Group holds all of the rights in the Project. For details regarding the Project, including with respect to the Project's energy supply agreement (PPA) up to 2030 – see that stated with reference to the Project in the Periodic Report for 2020.
  • D. Further to that stated in Section 17.2 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) in the Periodic Report for 2020, in connection with projects in advanced development of the CPV Group, in April 2021 an agreement was signed for sale of electricity (PPA) in the wind energy project Rogue's Wind for sale of all the Project's energy, availability (capacity) and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) of the project. For details – see that stated in the Periodic Report for 2020 with reference to the said project and the Company's Immediate Report dated April 11, 2021 (Reference No.: 2021-01-060825), which is presented herein by means of reference.47

44 It is noted that an arrangement as stated (to the extent it is determined and subject to the final arrangements) is expected to permit renewable energy projects to enjoy the tax benefits in cash with no need for a Tax Equity partner.

and debentures in accordance with the repayment schedule
in Israel, in
the amount of about NIS
65
million.
In addition, there was an increase
of about NIS
21 million, due to the first-time consolidation of the CPV

million
and by repayment of
debentures
(Series
B) of the Company, in the amount of about NIS
11
million.

There was also an increase of about NIS
18 million due to the first-time
consolidation of the CPV Group, and an increase in the balance due to
suppliers in the United States, mainly relating to the Maple Hill project
that is under construction, in the amount of about NIS
40 million.
This increase was partly offset by a decrease stemming from a decrease
in the balance of Israel Electric Company, in the amount of about
NIS
67
million, mainly due to timing differences and a
decrease in
purchases of electricity from Israel Electric Company.
Payables and other
credit balances
65 96 Most of the decrease derives from

  • The Group's activities are subject to seasonal fluctuations. For additional details regarding seasonal impacts – see Note 1A to the Interim Statements. It is noted that the second quarter of the year, which is mainly a transitional season, is generally characterized by relatively low demand and prices compared with the summer and winter seasons and performance of periodic maintenance is usually performed in transition seasons. The said seasonal impact also impacted the results of the Company's activities in Israel and in the United States in the period of the report.
  • The results of active projects in the U.S., except for the Keenan project, are presented in the category "Company's share in income (losses) of associated companies".
  • It is noted that the results of the CPV Group are consolidated in the Company Interim Statements commencing from the completion date of the transaction for acquisition of the CPV Group on January 25, 2021. For details regarding the agreement covering acquisition of the CPV Group – see Note 6 to the Interim Statements.

4. EBITDA

The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (losses) before depreciation and amortization, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, net financing expenses or income and taxes on income. EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or under any other generally accepted accounting standards as an indicator for the measurement of financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for profit or loss, cash flows from operating activities or other terms of operational performance or liquidity prescribed under IFRS.

EBITDA is not intended to represent monies that are available for distribution of dividends or other uses, since such monies may be used for servicing debt, capital expenditures, working capital and other liabilities. EBITDA is characterized by limitations that impair its use as an indicator of the Company's profitability, since it does not take into account certain costs and expenses deriving from the Company's business, which could materially affect its net income, such as financing expenses, taxes on income and depreciation.

The Company believes that the EBITDA data provides transparent information that is useful to investors in examining the Company's operating performances and in comparing them against the operating performance of other companies in the same sector or in other sectors with different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates. This data item is also used by Company management when examining the Company's performance.

Set forth below is a calculation of the EBITDA data item for the periods presented. Other companies may calculate the EBITDA differently. Therefore, the EBITDA presentation herein may differ from those of other companies.

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

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

  • (1) The increase stems from sales to private customers due to the commercial operation of the Hadera Power Plant, in the amount of about NIS 53 million. On the other hand, there was a decrease, in the amount of about NIS 23 million, due to a decline in the generation component tariff.
  • (2) The increase stems from revenues from sale of energy purchased during the maintenance of the Hadera Power Plan for its customers, in the amount of about NIS 7 million. On the other hand, there was a decrease in sales of energy purchased for Rotem's customers, in the amount of about NIS 3 million.
  • (3) The increase derives from an increase in sales to private customers, in the amount of about NIS 23 million, due to the commercial operation of the Hadera Power Plant. On the other hand, there was a decrease, in the amount of about NIS 4 million, due to a decline in the infrastructure tariffs in 2021.
  • (4) Most of the increase is due to sale of energy at a cogeneration tariff of the Hadera Power Plant to the System Administrator, in the amount of about NIS 23 million. On the other hand, there was a decrease in sale of energy to the System Administrator from Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 3 million.

Comments regarding the results in the United States

    1. As noted, the second quarter of the year, which is mainly a transitional season, is generally characterized by relatively low demand and prices compared with the summer and winter seasons and performance of periodic maintenance is usually performed in transition seasons. The said seasonal impact also impacted the results of the CPV Group in the period of the report.
    1. It is noted that in the period of the report the results of wind power plant (Keenan) and its activities were impacted by difficult weather conditions in February due to the Uri storm and weak wind conditions compared to the average on certain days in this period.
    1. During the period of the report and up to its submission date, there were a number of shutdowns for purposes of maintenance (planned and unplanned) at the Fairview, Maryland and Valley power plants during 21 days, 28 days and 38 days, respectively, during which time the activities of the power plants were suspended.
    1. The impact of the increase in the energy prices in the period of the report, as noted in Section 4 above (Main Developments in the Business Environment and in the Company's Activities in the United States), was offset cumulatively by CPV's hedge plans.
    1. As stated in Section 4, above (Main Developments in the Business Environment and in the Company's Activities in the United States), on June 1, 2021 the capacity tariffs from the 2021– 2022 capacity year entered into effect.

Set forth below is a comparison of the data, for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2020, of the active projects of the CPV Group, in accordance with the rates of holdings of the CPV Group in the projects. The EBITDA data below is based on the results in accordance with U.S. GAAP (in 2020 CPV prepared its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP), for the six-month and threemonth periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in millions of NIS).

Set forth below is data taken from the proforma interim financial statements for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 (together – "the Proforma Periods"). The proforma interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 9A of the Reporting Regulations, and they relate to acquisition of the control of the CPV Group. The proforma interim financial statements are intended to retroactively reflect the consolidated results of the Company's operations and the statement of other comprehensive income for the Proforma Periods under the assumption that the acquisition transaction had been completed on January 1, 2018 based on the actual results of operations as received from the CPV Group – this being based on the assumptions detailed in Note 3 to the proforma interim financial statements. These explanations should be read carefully together with the proforma interim financial statements attached to this report. It is clarified that the proforma statements do not reflect the Company's actual results but, rather, they were prepared in order to provide additional information – this being on the basis of various assumptions and estimates as detailed in the proforma statements. The data is presented in millions of New Israeli Shekels.

Analysis
Share in income
(losses) of associated
companies
(48) 29 Due to the improvement in the prices of the associated companies,
there was a decrease caused by revaluation of derivative financial
instruments (that were designated for an economic hedge), in
the
amount of about NIS
56 million. It is noted that the increase in the
electricity margins was partly offset by the hedge plan of the CPV
Group that was intended to reduce changes in
the
CPV
Group's gross
margin due to changes in commodity prices. In addition, in the first
half of 2020, the CPV Group recorded equity income in respect of
the Keenan project, in the amount of about
NIS
34 million were
recorded, due to the impacts of application of an agreement with a
tax investor. On the other hand, there was an increase in the results,
in the amount of about NIS
17 million, due to a decline the exchange
rate of the dollar and amortization of excess cost.
Business development
expenses

Review Report of the Independent Auditors to the Shareholders of OPC Energy Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Company") and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at June 30, 2021 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month and three-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and management are responsible for preparing and presenting financial information for these interim periods in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and are also responsible for preparing financial information for this interim period under Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the financial information for this interim period based on our review.

Scope of the Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might have been identifiable in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above-mentioned financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS 34).

In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above-mentioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

A. The Reporting Entity

OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Company") was incorporated in Israel on February 2, 2010. The Company's registered address is 121 Menachem Begin Blvd., Tel Aviv, Israel. The Company's controlling shareholder is Kenon Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter - "the Parent Company"), a company incorporated in Singapore, the shares of which are dual-listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (hereinafter - "the TASE"). The Company's interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30 2021 include those of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as interests in associates (hereinafter, collectively - "the Group").

The Company is a publicly traded company whose securities are traded on the TASE. As at the report date (since January 2021), the Group is engaged in two reportable segments: (1) generation and supply of power and energy in Israel; and (2) maintenance, development, construction and management of renewable energy and conventional power (gas-fired) power plants in the United States. In these segments, the Group is engaged in generation and supply of power and energy to private customers, Israel Electric Corporation Ltd. (hereinafter – "the IEC") and the system operator, in initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants and facilities for the generation of energy and provision of management services for power plants in the United States that are owned by third parties. The Group manages its operations in Israel mainly through a wholly owned subsidiary, OPC Israel Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "OPC Israel"), and its operations in the United States under another operational roof through the CPV Group (as defined in Note 6).

In Israel, the Group operates the Rotem Power Plant, through OPC Rotem Ltd. (hereinafter – "Rotem") (which is held by OPC Israel (80%) and by another shareholder (20%)); Rotem uses conventional technology, and has an installed capacity of approximately 466 megawatts (MW); the Hadera Power Plant is operated by OPC Hadera Ltd. (hereinafter – "Hadera"), which is wholly-owned by OPC Israel; Rotem uses cogeneration technology and has an installed capacity of 144 MW. Furthermore, Hadera holds the Energy Center (boilers and turbines on the site of Hadera Paper Ltd.), which serves as back-up for the supply of steam. In addition, OPC Israel wholly owns Zomet Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "Zomet"), which is working to construct a power plant powered by natural gas, using conventional technology in an open cycle (a peaker plant) having an installed capacity of approximately 396 MW, located in the vicinity of the Plugot Intersection, near Kiryat Gat. Furthermore, the Company is working to construct and operate facilities for generation of energy on the consumer's premises, which generate power using natural gas and renewable energy and enters into arrangements for supply and sale of energy to consumers; in addition, the Company entered into an agreement to supply the equipment to, construct, operate and maintain the Sorek B generation facility and to supply the energy facility of Sorek B desalination facility, as stated in Note 24A(10) to the Annual Financial Statements.

The Group's activities in Israel are subject to regulation, including, among other things, the provisions of the Electricity Sector Law, 1996, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, resolutions of the Israeli Electricity Authority, the provisions of the Law for Minimizing Market Centralization and Promoting Economic Competition, 2013, the provisions of the Economic Competition Law, 1988 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as regulation in connection with licensing of businesses, planning and construction, and environmental protection. The Israeli Electricity Authority is authorized to issue licenses under the Electricity Sector Law (licenses for facilities having a generation capacity in excess of 100 MW also require approval by the Minister of Energy), supervise the license holders (including supply licenses and private generation licenses), determine tariffs and set benchmarks for the level, nature and quality of the services that are required from a holder of a "Essential Service Provider" license. Accordingly, the Israeli Electricity Authority supervises both the IEC and private power generators.

The Group's activity is subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of changes in the energy demand management rate (hereinafter – "the TAOZ"), which is regulated and published by the Israeli Electricity Authority. The year is broken down into three seasons, as follows: summer (July and August), winter (December, January and February) and "transitional" (March through June and September through November), with a different tariff set for each season. The Company's results are based on the generation component, which is part of the TAOZ, resulting in a seasonal effect.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL (CONTD.)

A. The Reporting Entity (contd.)

In the United States, the Group operates - through the CPV Group, 70% of which is (indirectly) held by the Company - conventional power plants, power plants powered by natural gas (advanced generation combined cycle) and in the area of renewable energy. As at the approval date of the financial statements, the CPV Group's share of the natural gas-fired power plants is approximately 1,290 MW out of 4,045 MW (5 power plants), and in wind energy – the CPV Group's share is approximately 152 MW (one power plant).

In addition, the CPV Group holds rights to gas-fired and solar power plants that are under construction, with a capacity of approximately 1,258 MW and 126 MW, respectively (the CPV Group's share as at the approval date of the financial statements is approximately 126 MW and 126 MW, respectively). In addition, the CPV Group has a backlog of projects using solar (photovoltaic) technology in advanced development stages totaling approximately 1,254 MW, and a number of projects in the initial development stages totaling 738 MW. Furthermore, the CPV Group holds a backlog of projects using wind technology at the advanced initiation stages totaling approximately 176 MW, as well as projects using combined cycle technology in the advanced development stages, totaling approximately 3,955 MW.

The power market in the United States is regulated both on the federal level (wholesale sale of power and interstate transmission) and state level (retail sale of power and distribution services to end consumers). The primary federal regulator is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), alongside state-level public service commissions exercising additional regulatory oversight. The power market in the United States operates under several regional or state market operators, known as Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) or Independent System Operators (ISOs). The ISOs-RTOs are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the transmission system, the administration of the wholesale markets in their respective regions, and for the long-term transmission planning and resource adequacy functions.

The activity of the CPV Group is subject to, among other things, changes in federal and state legislation, federal and state energy regulations and federal and state environmental protection laws and regulations. These laws impact the ability of the facilities of the CPV Group to operate, the prices of the products they produce and the costs and charges involved in their production. Therefore, regulations, laws and decisions by the federal and state authorities, particularly public service committees, a federal energy regulatory committee and environmental protection authorities, have a direct and indirect impact on the CPV Group's activity.

The revenues of the CPV Group from power generation are seasonal and impacted by variable demand, gas prices and power prices, as well as the weather. In general, with respect to power plants powered by natural gas, there is higher profitability in seasons where temperatures are at their highest and lowest - usually during summer and winter.

B. Impacts of the Spread of the Coronavirus

Due to the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) (hereinafter - "the coronavirus crisis") in 2020 as well as during the reporting period and thereafter, movement restrictions and restrictions on business activity were imposed by the State of Israel and countries throughout the world. In addition, the said Coronavirus Crisis has caused, among other things, uncertainty and instability in the Israeli and global financial markets and economy.

The operation of the Company's active power plants in Israel, as well as the construction of the Zomet power plant, have continued throughout the restriction period, due to their designation as "essential enterprises", while safeguarding the work teams and taking precautionary measures in order to prevent outbreak and spread of the infection at the Company's sites. The continuity of the construction work on the Zomet power plant or of the renovation and maintenance work at the Rotem and Hadera power plants may be impacted by movement restrictions due to the Coronavirus Crisis, in light of the need for the arrival of equipment and foreign work teams. As at the financial statements approval date, the Coronavirus Crisis has not had a material impact on the Company's financial performance in Israel.

Spread of the virus and infections at the Company's power plants and sites, continuation of the Coronavirus Crisis for an extended period, a material impact of the Coronavirus Crisis on main suppliers (such as suppliers of natural gas, construction and maintenance contractors) or the Group's main customers, may adversely affect the Company's activities and results in Israel, as well as its ability to complete construction projects on time or at all and/or on its ability to execute future projects.

As of financial statements' approval date, the pandemic continues to cause business and economic uncertainty. During the reported period, there was a trend of recovery in the volume of economic activity worldwide, including lifting of some of the movement restrictions, reopening of businesses and commerce. At the same time, as of the financial statements approval date, alongside high vaccination rates - due to the outbreak of new strains (primarily the Delta variant) - the pandemic continues to spread significantly in Israel and other countries, and accordingly, movement restrictions and restrictions on activities have been imposed and may be imposed in the future.

The spread of the Coronavirus has had a significant impact on economic activity in the USA and around the world. The activity of the CPV Group's power plants continued despite the Coronavirus Crisis, with adjustments being made as stated below. The Coronavirus Crisis resulted in a change in the work schedules and shifts of the employees of the CPV Group, a reduction of self-initiated shutdowns for purposes of periodic maintenance, extension of the unplanned periodic maintenance period, adaptations on the part of the Group to employees working from home and other workplace adjustments. In addition, the Group was and continues to be required to make adjustments relating to information security at the power plants. Moreover, the Coronavirus Crisis affects the availability of suppliers and parties involved in the development and construction processes of the projects of the CPV Group.

It is noted that, as of the approval date of the financial statements, there is no certainty as to the duration of the Coronavirus Crisis, its scope and impact on the markets or parties relating to the CPV Group's activity, and therefore - the CPV Group is unable to assess with any degree of certainty and completeness the impact of the Coronavirus Crisis. The outbreak of the virus and the (possible) spread thereof at the power plants of the CPV Group or restrictions on business activity in the areas in which it operates - as well as the measures that shall be taken worldwide as a result, impact on the economy and commodity markets in the U.S. in general, and on the prices of power and natural gas in particular – could impact the CPV Group's activity (even materially), thwart the completion of the project under construction (as detailed in Note 7A) and delay advancement of the CPV Group's projects under development, as well as impact the ability to execute its future projects.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (hereinafter – "IAS 34") - "Interim Financial Reporting" and do not include all of the information required in complete Annual Financial Statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31 2020 (hereinafter – "the Annual Financial Statements"). In addition, these financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) 1970.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Company's Board of Directors on August 24, 2021.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTD.)

B. Functional and presentation currency

The New Israeli Shekel (NIS) is the currency that represents the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Accordingly, the NIS is the Company's functional currency. The NIS also serves as the presentation currency in these financial statements. Currencies other than the NIS constitute foreign currency.

C. Use of estimates and judgments

In preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the Company's management is required to use judgment when making estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect implementation of the policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management's judgment, at the time of implementing the Group's accounting policies and the main assumptions used in the estimates involving uncertainty, are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial Statements, except as stated below.

Allocation of acquisition costs:

The Group makes estimates with respect to allocation of excess cost to tangible and intangible assets and to liabilities. In addition, when determining the depreciation rates of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the Group estimates the expected life of the asset or liability. These estimates are based on, among other things, an independent appraiser.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Accounting Policies for New Transactions or Events

1. Basis of consolidation

Business combinations

The Group applies the acquisition method to all business combinations. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control over the acquiree. Control exists when the Group is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the acquiree and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the acquiree. When testing for control, substantive rights held by the Group and others are taken into account. On acquisition date, the acquirer recognizes a contingent liability assumed in a business combination if there is a present obligation resulting from past events and its fair value can be reliably measured. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of the assets transferred to the previous owners of the acquiree, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the previous owners of the acquiree as well as equity interests issued by the Group. In addition, goodwill is not updated in respect of utilization of tax loss carryforwards that existed on the date of the business combination.

Costs associated with the acquisition incurred by the acquirer in respect of a business combination, such as: brokers' commissions, consultants' fees, legal fees, valuations and other fees and commissions relating to professional services or consulting services, except for those relating to issuance of debt or equity instruments in connection with the business combination, are recognized as expenses in the period in which the services were received.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

A. Accounting Policies for New Transactions or Events (contd.)

1. Basis of consolidation (contd.)

Goodwill

The Group recognizes goodwill on acquisition date according to the fair value of the consideration transferred less the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset based on its cost, and in subsequent periods, is measured at cost less accrued impairment losses.

To test for impairment, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergy of the business combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill was allocated are tested for impairment each year, or more frequently if there are indications of a possible impairment of the unit, as stated. Where the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying mount of that cash-generating unit, the impairment loss is first allocated to the reduction of the carrying amount of any goodwill attributed to that cash-generating unit. Thereafter, the balance of the impairment loss, if any, is allocated to other assets of the cash-generating unit, pro rata to their carrying amounts. A goodwill impairment loss is not reversed in subsequent periods.

Investment in associates

Associates are entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is the power to participate in making decisions relating to the financial and operational policies of the investee company. In testing for significant influence, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible into shares of the investee are taken into account.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. The investment cost includes transaction costs. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to an expected acquisition of an associate are recognized as an asset under the deferred expenses line item in the statement of financial position. These costs are added to the investment cost on the acquisition date. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the income and expenses in profit or loss and of other comprehensive income of associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. Where the Group disposes of part of an investment that is an associate that includes foreign operations while maintaining significant influence, the proportionate part of the cumulative amount of the exchange rate differences is reclassified to the statement of income.

2. Foreign currency

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to NIS at exchange rates in effect at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to NIS at exchange rates in effect at the transaction dates. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and are presented in equity in the foreign operations translation reserve (hereinafter – "translation reserve"). When the foreign operation is not a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the pro rata share of the foreign operation translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests.

Generally, foreign exchange differences from loans received from or provided to a foreign operation, including foreign operations that are subsidiaries, are recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.

When the settlement of loans received from or provided to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from these monetary items are included in the investment in the foreign operation, net, and are recognized in other comprehensive income and stated in equity under the translation reserve.

NOTE 3 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

A. Accounting Policies for New Transactions or Events (contd.)

3. Share-based compensation transactions

The fair value of the amount due to employees in respect of profit participation in the CPV Group, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense, against a corresponding increase in the liability, over the period in which unconditional entitlement to payment is achieved. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date until the settlement date. Any change in the fair value of the liability is recognized as a general and administrative expense in profit and loss.

B. New Standards and Amendments to New Standards that Have Yet to Be Adopted

1. Amendment to IAS 1 - "Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current"

The Amendment replaces certain classification requirements of current or non-current liabilities. For example, pursuant to the amendment, a liability will be classified as non-current if an entity has the right to defer the payment for a period of at least 12 months after the reporting period, which is "substantive" and exists at the end of the reporting period. A right exists as at the report date only if an entity is in compliance with the conditions for deferment of the payment as at that date. In addition, the amendment clarifies that a conversion right of a liability will affect its classification as current or non-current, unless the conversion component is capital-based.

The Amendment will become effective for reporting periods commencing on January 1 2023. Early application is permissible. The Amendment is to be applied retrospectively, including adjustment of the comparative data.

The Group has yet to begin examining the ramifications of the amendment's application for the financial statements.

2. Amendment to IAS 16 - "Property, Plant, and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use"

The amendment revokes the requirement whereby in calculating costs that are directly attributable to property, plant and equipment, the net proceeds from the sale of any items produced in the process (such as samples produced at the time of testing the equipment) should be deducted from the costs of testing the proper functioning of the asset. Rather, the said proceeds are to be recognized in profit and loss in accordance with the relevant standards and the cost of the items sold is to be measured pursuant to the measurement requirements of IAS 2 - "Inventory".

The amendment will become effective for reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2022, or thereafter. Early application is permissible. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively, including revision of the comparative data, but only for items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and status required for them to be able to function in the manner contemplated by management after the earliest reporting period presented on first-time application of the amendment. The cumulative effect of the amendment will adjust the opening balance of the retained earnings of the earliest reporting period presented.

The Group has considered the potential effect of the application of the standard and is of the opinion that such application is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

NOTE 3 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

C. New Standards and Amendments to New Standards that Have Yet to Be Adopted (contd.)

3. Amendment to IAS 12, Income Tax: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendment reduces the applicability of the exemption from recognition of deferred taxes as a result of temporary differences created on the date of initial recognition of assets and/or liabilities, such that the said exemption will not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. As a result, entities will be required to recognize a deferred tax asset or liability in respect of such temporary differences on the date of initial recognition of transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences, such as lease transactions and provisions for dissolution and rehabilitation.

The amendment will be applied as of the annual reporting period starting on January 1 2023, by adjusting the opening balance of the retained earnings or as an adjustment to another capital line item in the period in which the amendment was adopted. Early application is permissible.

The Group has yet to begin to examine the effects of the amendment on the financial statements.

NOTE 4 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes only

The carrying amounts of certain financial assets and financial liabilities, including short-term and long-term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, other receivables, derivative financial instruments, trade payables and other payables, and some of the Group's longterm loans are the same as or approximate to their fair values.

(*) Includes current maturities and interest payable.

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, using the Level 2 valuation method. The fair value is measured using the discounted future cash flows method, on the basis of observable inputs.

NOTE 4 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTD.)

The Group enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments in order to hedge foreign currency risks and risks of changes in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter – the "CPI"). Derivative financial instruments are recorded based on their fair value. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is based on prices, rates and interest rates that are received from banks, brokers and through accepted trading software. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is estimated on the basis of the data received, using valuation and pricing techniques that are characteristic of the various instruments in the different markets. The fair value measurement of long-term derivative financial instruments is estimated by discounting the cash flows arising from them, based on the terms and conditions and term to maturity of each instrument and using market interest rates for similar instruments as at the measurement date. Changes in the economic assumptions and the valuation techniques could materially affect the fair value of the instruments.

In addition, in the reporting period, loans used to acquire the CPV Group and loans that were consolidated for the first time as part of the business combination were added to the Group. These loans are the same or approximate to their fair value in light of the variable interest rates on some of the loans.

NOTE 6 – SUBSIDIARIES

Business combination that occurred during the current period

Further to that stated in Note 25L to the annual financial statements, on January 25 2021, the acquisition of 70% of the rights and holdings in the CPV Group (hereinafter – "the Transaction Completion Date") was completed. The acquisition was executed through a limited partnership, CPV Group LP (hereinafter – "the Acquirer"), which is held, indirectly, by the Company (approximately 70% by the limited partner). The acquired CPV Group entities are: CPV Power Holdings LP (hereinafter – "CPVPH"); Competitive Power Ventures Inc. (hereinafter – "CPVI"); and CPV Renewable Energy Company Inc. (hereinafter – "CPVREC") (CPVPH, CPVI and CPVREC will be jointly referred to hereinafter as – "the CPV Group").

The CPV Group is engaged in the development, construction and management of power plants using renewable energy and conventional energy (power plants powered by natural gas of the advanced-generation combined-cycle type) in the United States through subsidiaries and associates. The CPV Group holds rights in active power plants that it developed and constructed – both in the area of conventional energy and in the area of renewable energy. In addition, through an asset management group, the CPV Group is engaged in provision of management services to US-based power plants using a range of technologies and fuel types, by means of signing asset-management agreements, usually for short to medium terms.

On the Transaction Completion Date, in accordance with the mechanism for determination of the consideration as defined in the acquisition agreement, the Acquirer paid the Sellers a consideration that was set at the total amount of about USD 648 million (constituting an acquisition price of USD 630 million with certain adjustments to working capital, the cash balance and debt balance), and approximately USD 5 million for a deposit in the same amount, which remains in the CPV Group. In May 2021, the consideration for the CPV Group acquisition transaction was adjusted, as a result of which the Sellers paid the CPV Group an immaterial amount. It is noted that, in respect of 17.5% of the rights to the Three Rivers project under construction (hereinafter – "the Project under Construction"), a sellers' loan, in the amount of USD 95 million (hereinafter – "the Seller's Loan") was granted to CPVH. The Seller's Loan is for a period of up to two years from the Transaction Completion Date, bears an annual interest of 4.5%, which is to be paid quarterly and secured by a lien on shares of the holding company that owns the rights to the Project under Construction and rights pursuant to the management agreement of the Project under Construction. For details regarding changes in the holdings in the Project under Construction and in the Seller's Loan in the reporting period – see Note 7A.

NOTE 6 – SUBSIDIARIES (CONTD.)

Business combination that occurred during the current period (contd.)

The Company partially hedged its exposure to changes in the cash flows from payments in dollars in connection with the agreement for acquisition of the CPV Group by means of forward transactions and dollar deposits. The Company chose to designate the forward transactions as an accounting hedge. On the Transaction Completion Date, the Company recorded an amount of approximately NIS 103 million that was accrued in a hedge capital reserve to the investment cost in the CPV Group. This cost was recorded under the goodwill line item and increased the acquisition cost by approximately USD 32 million.

The contribution of the CPV Group to the Group's income and loss from the acquisition date until June 30 2021 amounted to NIS 68 million and NIS 129 million, respectively. Management estimates that had the acquisition taken place as early as January 1 2021, the revenue amount in the consolidated statement of income for the six-month period ended June 30 2021 would have been NIS 733 million and the consolidated loss for that period would have been NIS 103 million.

Determination of fair value of assets and liabilities temporarily identifiable:

The acquisition of the CPV Group was accounted for according to the provisions of IFRS 3 - "Business Combinations". Thus, on the Transaction Completion Date, the Company included the net assets of the CPV Group in accordance with the fair value. As of the approval date of the financial statements, the Company had not yet completed the attribution of the acquisition cost to the identifiable assets and liabilities, in light of the short time that had elapsed from the date of the business combination to the financial statements approval date. As a result, some of the fair value data are temporary and there may be changes that will affect the data included in these financial statements.

Set forth below is the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired (based on temporary values):

In NIS million

Goodwill:

Goodwill created as part of the business combination reflects the potential of future activities of the CPV Group in the market in which it operates. The Group expects that part of the goodwill will be allowed as a deduction for tax purposes. Due to the acquisition, goodwill was temporarily recognized as follows:

In NIS million

C. Loans of the Project Companies in the CPV Group:

Each of the CPV Group's associates (hereinafter – the "Project Companies") has taken out senior debt under similar outlines - per-project, per-asset financing, at non-recourse terms. On financial closing of each loan, debt and equity capital is committed in an amount sufficient to cover the project's projected capital costs during construction, along with ancillary credit facilities. The ancillary credit facilities are provided by a subset of the project's lenders and are comprised of letter of credit (LC) facilities, which support collateral obligations under the financing arrangements and commercial arrangements, and a working capital revolver facility, which supports the project's ancillary credit needs. The senior credit facilities are generally structured such that, subject to certain conditions precedent, they transform from facilities to finance the construction phase to long-term facilities (term loans) with maturity dates generally tied to the term of the commercial agreements anchoring projected operating cash flows of each project. For the gas-fired projects, the term loans generally span the construction period plus 5 to 7 years after launch of commercial operation (hereinafter – "Mini-Perm Financing"). The Mini-Perm Financing is repaid based on a combination of repayment dates and result-based metrics, which in the aggregate, result in partial repayment during the loan term, with a balance payable or refinanced upon final repayment date.

The CPV Group seeks to take advantage of opportunities to recycle its credit according to market conditions and, in any case, prior to the scheduled final repayment date. As a rule, the credit facilities in place during construction are sourced from a consortium of international lenders (10 to 20 for each gas-fired project, fewer for renewable energy projects with lower capital needs) on the "Term Loan A" market, which is substantially comprised of commercial banks, investment banks, institutional lenders, insurance companies, international funds, and equipment suppliers' credit affiliates. The CPV Group has refinanced loans for certain gas-fired projects in both the Term Loan A market and the Term Loan B market, which includes mainly institutional lenders, international funds, and a number of commercial banks.

While the credit facility terms and conditions have certain provisions specific to the project being financed, an overwhelming majority of the standard key terms and conditions (first lien security, covenants, events of default, equity cure rights, distribution restrictions, reserve requirements, etc.) are similar across the CPV Group's projects' Term Loan A financing agreements, while the Term Loan B market refinancing terms are slightly less restrictive, as customary in this market. In each market and often within each project loan, lenders extended loans to the CPV Group's projects either according to a credit spread based on the LIBOR, variable base interest or fixed interest. To minimize exposure to potential interest rate risk, the CPV Group executes interest rate hedges for the main exposure at each project level, whereby the Project Companies pay the major financial institutions fixed rate interest and receive variable interest payments for certain terms, according to the terms and conditions of the project and loan. For the LIBOR-based loans, the credit agreements and interest rate hedging arrangements include market-standard provisions to accommodate the eventual replacement of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate.

Set forth below is a summary the main commercial terms and conditions of the key senior debt facilities of the CPV Group's Project Companies. The balances are presented in millions of dollars, represent 100% of the debt balance of each project company, including interest payable, and include fair-value adjustments that were made on the acquisition date of the CPV Group. The loan amounts under the term loans are presented as at the date noted, and to the extent they are withdrawn and repaid, they may not be withdrawn again.

It is noted that the main financing agreements include, among other things, non-standard terms and conditions that are customary in agreements for projects of this type, provisions regarding mandatory prepayments, various grounds for repayment, fees and commissions in respect of credit facilities, annual fees and commissions relating to the issuance of LC and additional customary terms and conditions. In addition, as part of the financing agreements, collaterals have been provided and liens were placed on all the project assets. It is further noted that as at the financial statements approval date, there are no grounds for calling any of the financing agreements for immediate repayment.

NOTE 7 – ASSOCIATES (contd.)

D. Main agreements of the Project Companies in the CPV Group:

  1. Partnership agreements in the Project Companies:

As a rule, each of the Project Companies in the CPV Group entered into an agreement with all other owners of rights to the project (if any), for the establishment of a limited liability company; the agreement sets forth each partner's rights and obligations with respect to the applicable project (each, hereinafter - an "LLC Agreement"). Most LLC Agreements contain customary provisions for agreements of this type restricting the transfer of rights, including terms and conditions for permissible transfers, minimum equity percentage transfer requirements and rights of first offer. The CPV Group is often obliged to maintain at least a minimum ten percent equity ownership in a project company for up to five years after closing of construction financing. Each project company is governed by a board of directors selected by the members. Certain material decisions typically require unanimous approval by all partners, including, inter alia, declaring insolvency, liquidation, sale of assets or merger, entering into or amending material agreements, taking on debt, initiating or settling litigation, engaging critical service providers, approving the annual budget or making expenditures exceeding the budget, and adopting hedging strategies and risk management policies. The Project Companies of the CPV Group do not have employees. All Project Companies of the CPV Group are operated by means of a series of agreements, inter alia as detailed in this section below.

2. Natural gas projects activity:

All active conventional projects trade and participate in the sale of capacity, power and ancillary services in their respective ISO or RTO. Typically, every day the CPV Group conducts the process of forecasting and planning for the next operating day. After making preparations in terms of purchasing adequate natural gas to support the expected power generation activity, offers are submitted to the Day-Ahead market. In addition, revisions are made throughout the day for actual operations occurring that day (the real-time market), which include purchases and sales of natural gas and optimizing generation output based on the real-time market price.

3. RPO agreements:

Fairview, Maryland and Valley entered into economic hedging agreements on the power margins of the Revenue Put Option (hereinafter - "RPO") type. The RPO is intended to provide the companies a minimum margin from the sale of power on the market for the duration of the agreement. Calculation of the amount of the minimum margin is determined on the basis of a contractual year where the actual settlement dates take place every three months in respect of a partial amount and an annual adjustment is made to the calculation of the total annual margin each year. For purposes of calculating the minimum margin, the agreement makes use of specific parameters, such as utilization, expected generation levels, power and gas prices and other specific operating costs for the project. The RPO periods are until May 31, 2025, for Fairview, until February 28, 2022, for Maryland and until May 31, 2023, for Valley.

4. Property management agreements:

Each of the CPV Group's Project Companies entered into an asset management agreement with CPVI (a related party) whereby CPVI provides construction and asset management services. The consideration includes a fixed annual payment, a performance-based payment and reimbursement of certain expenses, including expenses relating to construction management services (work hours of the construction workers, expenses and expenses incurred by third parties).

NOTE 7 – ASSOCIATES (CONTD.)

D. Main agreements of the Project Companies in the CPV Group (contd.):

  1. Property management agreements (contd.)

The terms of the agreements are as follows:

Fairview – seven years from the construction completion date of the power plant, and the agreement may be extended by an additional year. One of the other investors in the project has the right to replace CPVI as the asset manager under an asset management agreement – this being after one year of commercial operation, in coordination with CPVI and after CPVI agrees that the partner has the appropriate capabilities to manage the asset.

Towantic – ten years commencing on the construction completion date of the power plant, which may be extended for an additional period of three years.

Maryland – until December 31, 2028.

Shore – until December 31, 2030.

Valley – five years commencing on the construction completion date of the power plant, which may be extended by an additional period of three years.

Three Rivers - ten years after completion of the construction of the power plant, where the agreement may be extended for an additional year.

  1. Main agreements of the Project Companies in the CPV Group

The Project Companies entered into the following main agreements. It is noted that with respect to the asset-management agreements and energy-management agreements of CPV Group companies (including third parties), the said agreements include provisions regarding early termination of the agreements under terms and conditions provided therein. In addition, additional agreements provide the possibility of early termination under the circumstances stipulated therein.

Fairview

Fairview entered into a base contract for the purchase of natural gas (GSPA) at a quantity of up to 180,000 MMBtu per day at market price, as provided in the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the gas supplier is responsible for transporting natural gas to the designated supply point and is permitted to supply ethane in place of natural gas up to a rate of 25% of the agreed supply quantity. The agreement commenced upon the commercial operation of the power plant and ends on May 31 2025.

Fairview entered into a service agreement with its original equipment manufacturer, for the supply of spare parts and maintenance services for the combustion turbines. The agreement went into effect on December 27 2016 ("the Effective Date") and ends on the earlier of: (a) 25 years from the Effective Date; or (b) when specific milestones are reached on the basis of use and wear and tear. Fairview pays a fixed and a variable amount as of the date of the commercial operation.

Fairview entered into an agreement for operation and maintenance of the power plant. The agreement period is three years from the construction completion date of the power plant; the agreement includes an extension/renewal clause for a period of one year, unless one of the parties gives notice of termination of the agreement based on its terms.

Fairview entered into an energy management agreement with CPV Energy and Marketing Services, LLC (hereinafter – "CEMS") - a related company of the CPV Group, to receive consulting services regarding formulation of energy management plans, risk management and performance strategy. The agreement terminates on December 31, 2025 and has two extension options of five years each.

Adjustments in respect of Valley (contd.)

  • 5) Explanations for the main differences between US GAAP and IFRS:
    • A. Maintenance costs under the LTCP agreement: under IFRS, variable payments which were paid in accordance with the milestones as set in the LTCP agreement are capitalized to the cost of property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the period from the date on which maintenance work was carried out until the date on which maintenance work is due to take place again. Under US GAAP, the said payments are recognized on payment date within current expenses in the statement of income.
    • B. Hedge effectiveness of interest rate swaps: in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Valley recognizes the adjustments relating to the ineffective portion of its gain or loss on the hedging instrument used to hedge its cash flows. Under US GAAP, in accordance with ASU 2017-12 there is no ineffective portion.
    • C. Property, plant and equipment: during the course of the first quarter of 2021, there were indications for impairment that require testing the items for impairment in accordance with both sets of standards: IFRS and US GAAP. In accordance with IAS 36, the carrying amount exceeded the recoverable amount (the discounted cash flows expected to arise from the asset for Valley) and therefore an impairment loss was recognized in the first quarter of 2021. In accordance with ASC 360, the undiscounted cash flows that Valley expects to generate from the asset exceed the carrying amount. Therefore, no impairment was recorded in accordance with US GAAP.
    • D. Intangible assets: intangible assets that fall within the scope of ASC 350: Intangibles Goodwill and Others - are defined as property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16.
    • E. Restricted Cash: The difference is due to a difference in the presentation of restricted cash in the cash flow statements between IFRS and US GAAP.

NOTE 8 – SEGMENT REPORTING

As a result of acquisition of the CPV Group in January 2021 (as stated in Note 6), which is engaged in development, construction and management of renewable energy and conventional (advanced-generation, gas-powered combined-cycle power plants) in the United States, as of the first quarter of 2021 the Group presents two geographic operating segments that constitute strategic business units of the Group. These strategic business units include products and services and are managed separately for resource allocation and evaluation of performance purposes due to the fact that they are located in different geographic regions. For each strategic business unit, the chief operational decision maker regularly reviews the internal managerial reports. In addition, the segment's results are based on the Company's profit (loss) before depreciation and amortization, changes of the fair value of derivative financial instruments, net finance expenses or income, and income taxes attributed to the Group's reportable segments, as well as net of onoff income (expenses) ("Adjusted EBITDA"). The data of associates in this note are included by way of proportionate consolidation according to the CPV Group's holding rate. The information on subsidiaries in this note is presented in full without adjustment to the holding rate. The adjustment column adjusts the results to the income statement mainly as a result of presenting the data of associates. Set forth below is a brief description of the business activities of each of the Group's operating segments:

  • Israel the holding, generation and supply of power and energy in Israel segment. In this operating segment, the Group is engaged in the generation and supply of power and energy to private customers, the IEC and system operator, as well as in the initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants and power generation facilities.
  • United States Development, construction and management of renewable energy and conventional (gas-fired) power plants in the United States. In this operating segment, the Company is engaged in the holding, development, construction and management of renewable energy and conventional (gasfired) power plants in the United States and in the holding of rights in operational and underconstruction renewable energy and conventional power plants. Furthermore, the Company is engaged in provision of management services to power plants in the United States that are owned by the Group and by third parties.

The Company manages its operations in Israel under a single operational roof, mainly through OPC Israel and its operations in the United States under another operational roof through the CPV Group.

B. The Company (contd.)

  1. In January 2021, a subsidiary of the Parent Company transferred to the Company, at no consideration, all its shares and rights (100%) in IC Green Energy Inc. (previously Primus Green Energy Inc.), a company incorporated in New Jersey, USA (hereinafter - "ICG Energy"), which previously owned a renewable energy operation.

During 2005-2020, ICG Energy recorded net operating losses for tax purposes, which as at December 31, 2020 amounted to approximately USD 108 million, and utilizable tax credits in the amount of approximately USD 1.7 million, which may be offset for tax purposes in the United States against future income in the United States, subject to complying with the conditions of the law, some of which are not under the Company's control and, therefore, the Company did not recognize deferred tax assets in respect thereof.

Transfer of ICG Energy to the Company was approved by the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee as a transaction that is only for the Company's benefit, pursuant to Section 1(2) of the Companies Regulations (Expedients in Transactions with an Interested Party), 2000.

In addition, in January 2021, after the transfer of ICG Energy to the Company, the Company transferred its rights and loans in the limited partnership, OPC Power Ventures LP (hereinafter – "OPC Power") (for details regarding OPC Power and the rights of the Company therein – see Note 25M to the Annual Financial Statements and Note 9J below) to ICG Energy in respect of a loan in the amount of approximately NIS 472 million, and capital notes issued by ICG Energy to the Company, in the amount of approximately NIS 1,188 million. The loan is denominated in shekels, is not linked to the CPI and bears interest at the annual rate of 7%. The loan principal will be repayable at any time that will be agreed on between the parties, but no later than January 2028. Accrued interest is payable on a quarterly basis. To the extent the payment made by ICG Energy is lower than the amount of the accrued interest, the payment in respect of the balance will be postponed to the next quarter, but not later than January 2028.

Further to that stated in Note 25K to the Annual Financial Statements, as at the approval date of the financial statements, the Company entered into several agreements, including for the construction and operation of facilities for energy generation on the consumer's premises by means of natural gas and renewable energy (hereinafter – "the Generation Facilities") with a total of approximately 90 MW, and construction and supply agreements covering motors for the Generation Facilities, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 58 MW.

B. The Company (contd.)

  1. In February 2021 the Israeli Electricity Authority reached a resolution on regulation for suppliers that do not have means of production, and amended the criteria applicable to existing suppliers, so as to open to new suppliers the supply segment in the electricity sector, and to gradually supply to domestic consumers. As part of the resolution, the Israeli Electricity Authority sets criteria and tariffs that will apply to suppliers who do not have means of production, and which allow them to purchase energy for their customers from the system operator, subject to receipt of supply license and the provision of a collateral. Pricing will be based on the SMP (half-hour system marginal price) mechanism and components which are affected, among other things, by peak-time consumption. Regulation to suppliers who do not have means of production is limited to a quota set in the regulation principles and to customers who have continuous meters (36,000 domestic consumers and 15,000 industrial/commercial consumers). Furthermore, as part of the said resolution, and in order to open the supply segment to competition, the Israeli Electricity Authority amended the criteria to suppliers regarding the manner of allocating consumers to private suppliers, the termination of transactions, the transition from one supplier to another and the payment of bills. In May 2021, the Israeli Electricity Authority published draft for public comment of the license for suppliers under virtual supply (hereinafter - the "Virtual Supply License") and the revised timetable for opening the supply segment to competition; according to the said timetable, the said activity is expected to start on September 1, 2021. Subsequent to the report date and further to the application submitted by the Company, in July 2021 the Company received a Virtual Supply License. Further to the above, the Company filed an application to assign certain customers, in the scope of 110 MW, to the virtual supply activity; and on August 19 2021, the Company was notified by the IEC that the assignment applications filed by the providers have been granted, subject to the completion of technical tests.

C. Zomet

  1. Further to that stated in Note 11A to the Annual Financial Statements regarding land on which the Zomet power plant is being constructed, in January 2021, a final assessment was provided by the Israel Lands Authority (hereinafter – "ILA") in respect of the land, whereby the value of the usage fees for the land, for a period of 25 years, in respect of the construction of a power plant with a capacity of 396 MW, amounts to NIS 200 million (hereinafter – "the Final Assessment"). It is noted that in February 2021, the Joint Company submitted a legal appeal of the amount of the Final Assessment and intends to submit an appraiser's appeal in accordance with ILA's procedures. In March 2021, a refund was received, in the amount of about NIS 7 million, including linkage differences and interest, in respect of the difference between the capitalization fees effectively paid and the Final Assessment amount.

Subsequent to the report date, in August 2021, Zomet was notified of the rejection of its appeal by ILA and as of the financial statements approval date, Zomet intends to continue the appeals proceedings on the assessment.

  1. Further to that stated in Note 24A(3) to the Annual Financial Statements regarding a compromise agreement in respect of the amount of the development levies payable to the Shafir Regional Council (hereinafter – "the Council"), in February 2021 the legal procedure came to an end by means of a compromise. Under the compromise, the Council agreed to reduce the amount of the levies to approximately NIS 20 million. In March 2021, Zomet paid the Council - in addition to the NIS 13 million already paid in 2019, as stated above - an additional amount of approximately NIS 7 million; the latter amount includes levies in respect of a built-up area of 11,600 square meters, which has not yet been built, and Zomet has the right to construct the power plant with no additional payment of levies.

C. Zomet (contd.)

    1. In April 2021 and subsequent to the report date, Zomet made withdrawals of approximately NIS 76 million and NIS 132 million, respectively, from the long-term loans facility. For more information about Zomet's long-term loan facility, see Note15D3 to the Annual Financial Statements.
    1. In May 2021, the construction contractor of Zomet gave a "force majeure" notice due to the security events. Zomet rejected those claims.

D. Hadera

  1. In December 2020 and from January to May 2021, pre-scheduled replacement and renovation work of certain components was performed on the gas turbines in the Hadera Power Plant. In this context, in January 2021, replacement and renovation work in one of the gas turbines was completed, and in May 2021, replacement and renovation work on the second gas turbine was completed. Accordingly, in the first half of 2021, there were about 65 days of maintenance during which the Hadera power plant functioned in partial capacity. Following the replacement and renovation work, the gas turbines function as expected from such turbines.

In March 2022, additional mandatory maintenance work (hereinafter – "the Additional Work") is expected to be performed on the steam turbine, for a period estimated at 60 days.

  1. Further to that stated in Note 25D of the Annual Financial Statements, it is Hadera's position, according to the power plant's construction agreement and based on the position of its legal counsel, that Hadera is entitled to liquidated damages (limited to the maximum specified in the construction agreement) from the construction contractor for delay of the delivery date of the power plant and damages (limited to an amount up to the maximum specified in the construction agreement) for non-compliance with conditions set out in the agreement in connection with the performance of the power plant. It is noted that the construction contractor alleges, among other things, that Hadera does not have any grounds for charging the amounts specified in the agreement.

In May 2021, Hadera received from the construction contractor notice of dispute before instigation of proceedings; in his notice, the construction contractor claims, inter alia, that Hadera does not have any grounds for charging the amounts specified in the agreement in respect of the delay in activation and the performance of the power plant (including by way of offsetting, as outlined below); the contractor also claims that he is entitled to additional consideration of EUR 7 million and that he may renew the guarantee provided in a reduced amount. It should be noted that in June 2021, the bank guarantee provided by the construction contractor (in the original amount, without reduction), was extended through May 31 2022, without derogating from the Contractor's claims as per his claims. Hadera disputes the claims of the Construction Contractor as raised by him in a notice of dispute before taking legal action (except in respect of an insignificant amount out of said claim, relative to EUR 7 million), and his claims were rejected by it even prior to receiving the Contractor's said notice. During the period following the receipt of said notice, the parties held negotiations in accordance with the construction agreement providing for a period of time for negotiations between the parties in an attempt to avoid arbitration proceedings; as of the report date, the parties have not reached agreements and there is no certainty that agreements will indeed be reached. Hadera is considering its steps in consultation with its legal counsel. As of this date, the construction contractor has yet to pay compensation (except for amounts unilaterally deducted by Hadera from payments due to the construction contractor, and the construction contractor made allegations in this matter in the above notice). For details regarding compensation from the construction contractor, see Note 25D to the annual financial statements for 2020.

D. Hadera (contd.)

    1. In May 2021, Hadera and Rotem received a notice from Noble Energy in connection with emergency discontinuance of service of the Tamar Reservoir as of May 11, 2021, under an order issued by the Minister of Energy in light of the security situation in Israel at the time. It was stated in the notice that, according to Noble Energy's position, the event constitutes a force majeure event pursuant to its gas agreements with Hadera and Rotem. It should be noted that the supply of gas to Hadera and Rotem during the shutdown period continued without interruption, and gas for that purpose was supplied from the Leviathan reservoir. It should be noted that on May 22, 2021, the supply of gas from the Tamar reservoir was resumed.
    1. Further to that stated in Note 25G of the Annual Financial Statements regarding the Group's agreements with Energean Israel Limited (hereinafter - "Energean"), in May 2021 Energean sent Rotem and Hadera an updated notice that, due to force majeure events, alleged by Energean, initial gas from the Karish Reservoir is expected in mid-2022.

It should be noted that the agreements with Energean stipulate limited compensation for such delays; the amount of compensation as per the said agreements depends on the reason for the delay, and the compensation cap is lower if the delay is caused by a force majeure event. As of the date of approval of these financial statements, Energean claims that the delay was caused by a force majeure event, and Rotem and Hadera reject those claims.

In June 2021, Rotem and Hadera received a letter from Energean in which Energean announced that it intends to pay Rotem and Hadera the reduced compensation due to delay in commercial operation, since the delay was caused - according to Energean - by a force majeure. It should be noted that in July 2021, Rotem and Hadera informed Energean that they insist that Energean failed to prove that the force majeure clause of agreement can be activated, and that they reserve their rights under the agreements with Energean in that respect, including the right to claim the payment of the full amount of compensation due to a delay.

E. Rotem

    1. Further to that stated in Note 25C to the Annual Financial Statements regarding an agreement to purchase power from Rotem, on March 17, 2021, Rotem received a letter from the IEC (as the system operator), which includes the open issues between the parties and their positions regarding these issues as viewed by the IEC. In this regard, the IEC raises contentions regarding past accountings in respect of the energy purchase cost for Rotem customers in a case of a load reduction of the power plant by the system operator, and collection differences due to non-transfer of meter data in 2013 through 2015, in amounts that are immaterial to Rotem. In addition, the IEC stated its position with respect to additional matters in the arrangement between the parties relating to the acquisition price of surplus energy and the acquisition cost of energy by Rotem during performance of tests. Rotem's position regarding the matters raised by the IEC, based on its legal counsel, is different and talks are being held between the parties. As at the financial statements approval date, the open matters, as stated, had not yet been resolved and there is no certainty that the parties will reach an agreement. To the extent the open matters are not resolved, there will be no choice other than to turn to the courts.
    1. Further to that stated in Note 25J to the Annual Financial Statements regarding applicability of the decision of the IEC with respect to deviations from Rotem's consumption plans, in May 2021, the IEC notified Rotem that, according to its approach, Rotem's sale of energy to end-consumers in excess of the power plant's generation capacity deviates from the provisions of the power acquisition agreement between it and the IEC (as stated in Note 25C to the Annual Financial Statements). Rotem's position regarding the power purchase agreement is different, and in any event, according to Rotem's position, the matter is expected to be impacted by supplementary arrangements that are to be determined further to the decision of the Israeli Electricity Authority, as stated in Note 25J to the Annual Financial Statements.

NOTE 9 – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTD.)

E. Rotem (contd.)

    1. In April 2021, Rotem distributed a dividend in the amount of NIS 40 million. The share of OPC Israel and of the holder of non-controlling interests amounts to NIS 32 million and NIS 8 million, respectively.

    1. On the Transaction Completion Date, in May 2021, the Company invested approximately NIS 19.8 million in Gnrgy against issuance of Gnrgy shares to the Company. In addition, the Company acquired from Mr. Ran Eloya, the Company's founder and the party who, until the Transaction Completion Date, wholly-owned Gnrgy's shares (hereinafter – "the Developer"), in exchange for a consideration of NIS 5.2 million, such that upon completion of the transaction, the Company holds approximately 27% of Gnrgy's share capital and the Developer holds approximately 73% of its share capital.
    1. During a period ending on December 15, 2021, the Company is to invest in Gnrgy an additional amount of about NIS 29 million, against issuance of additional Gnrgy shares. In addition, on December 15, 2021 the Company is to acquire additional shares from the Developer, in exchange for an aggregate consideration of NIS 13 million (part of which is expected to be paid in instalments that will bear interest at the annual rate of 5%), in such a manner that upon completion of acquisition of the additional shares, as stated, the Company will hold about 51% of Gnrgy's share capital and the Developer will hold about 49% of its share capital (hereinafter - "the Additional Closing").

I. Gnrgy (contd.)

Concurrent with the share purchase agreement, a shareholders' agreement was signed that governs the relationship between the Company and the Developer following the completion of the transaction (hereinafter – "the Shareholders' Agreement"). As part of the Shareholders' Agreement, the Company is granted an option to acquire the balance of the Developer's shares and to wholly own Gnrgy's share capital (hereinafter – "the Purchase Option"). The exercise price of the Purchase Option will be derived from the fair value of Gnrgy on the exercise date, assuming an agreed-to rate, but no less than a price based on the value of the original transaction. The exercise period of the Purchase Option will be the period of time determined after approval of the financial statements for each of the years 2024 through 2026. To the extent the entire exercise period of the Purchase Option passes without the Company exercising the Purchase Option, and on the assumption that no capital investments have been made in Gnrgy so as to dilute the Developer's share and subject to additional conditions stipulated in the Shareholders' Agreement, the Developer has an option to acquire shares of Gnrgy from the Company such that after the acquisition, he will hold 2% more than the Company in Gnrgy's share capital, and will once again become the controlling shareholder of Gnrgy. In addition, to the extent the Company did not exercise the Purchase Option within the first period for exercise of the Purchase Option, and the Developer will hold less than 15% of Gnrgy's share capital, the Developer will have an option to require the Company purchase his shares based on the fair value that will be determined in accordance with that stated in the Shareholders' Agreement at a discount rate as provided in the agreement. The Company will be permitted to pay the consideration for the said put option of the Developer and, under certain circumstances, part of the consideration for exercise of the Purchase Option of the Company, by means of issuance of shares of the Company to the Developer. In addition, the Shareholders' Agreement determines, among other things, the rights of the shareholders in connection with appointment of directors to Gnrgy's Board of Directors, the voting power (rights) of each of them will reflect the rates of ownership of the parties in Gnrgy's share capital (except with respect to the period up to the Additional Closing during which the representatives appointed by each of the parties (the Company, on the one hand, and the Developer, on the other hand) will have equal voting power (50%) on Gnrgy's Board of Directors).

The said Transaction Completion Date for the acquisition of Gnrgy's shares was in May 2021, after the conditions precedent have been met (including obtaining the Competition Authority's exemption from the merger notice requirement). Accordingly, as of the report date the Company hold 27% of Gnrgy's share capital. The Company includes Gnrgy in its Israel-based operations.

Review Report of the Independent Auditors to the Shareholders of OPC Energy Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying proforma financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim proforma statements of income and comprehensive income for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2021. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of proforma financial information for these interim periods in accordance with Regulation 38B of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the proforma financial information for these interim periods based on our review.

Scope of the Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 "Review of Financial Information for Interim Periods Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above-mentioned proforma financial information is not complete, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 38B of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 – this being on the basis of the proforma assumptions detailed in Note 3.

Sincerely,

Somekh Chaikin Certified Public Accountants (Isr.)

Note 3 – Main Assumptions that served as the Basis for Preparation of the Proforma Statements

A. In the Proforma Statements, which include the proforma consolidated interim statements of income and the proforma consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income for each of the six-month and three-month periods ended on June 30, 2021 and 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2020, adjustments and classifications were made regarding the manner of presentation of certain items in the financial data of Acquired Activities in order to conform the manner of their presentation to that of the Company, including to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

B. Functional currency

The functional currency of the companies acquired is the Dollar, which is different than the Company's functional currency, which is the shekel and for purposes of consolidation of the Proforma Statements the statements of the companies acquired were translated from the Dollar into shekels. The translation differences relating to the investment in the equity were included in the statement of comprehensive income and translation differences in respect of a loan the Company provided to the Buyer were recorded as exchange rate differences in the "financing expenses" category.

As a practical result, in the proforma consolidated interim statements of income for the six-month periods ended on June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2020, income from exchange rate differences was included, in the amounts of about NIS 7 million and about NIS 1 million, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2020 expenses from exchange rate differences were included, in the amount of about NIS 39 million. In the proforma consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended on June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, positive translation differences were included in the amounts of about NIS 26 million and about NIS 6 million respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, negative translation differences were included in the amount of about NIS 144 million.

Note 3 – Main Assumptions that served as the Basis for Preparation of the Proforma Statements (Cont.)

C. Determination of the fair value of identified assets and liabilities in a temporary manner

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". Therefore, on the completion date of the transaction the Company included the assets of the CPV Group, net, in accordance with their fair values. The Company's share in the acquisition consideration amounted to about \$457 million. The excess cost created on the acquisition of the CPV Group amounted to about \$20 million and was allocated temporarily (in accordance with IFRS 3). Up to the approval date of the financial statements, the Company had not yet completed allocation of the acquisition cost to the identified assets and liabilities, this being due to the short period of time that passed from the date of the business combination and up to the approval date of the proforma financial statements. In light of that stated, part of the fair value data is still temporary and there could be changes that will impact the data that is included in the Proforma Statements.

In the Proforma Statements, the excess cost was allocated partly to the property, plant and equipment of the associated companies and partly to goodwill. The excess cost allocated to the associated companies was amortized in the Proforma Statements over the balance of the useful life of the property, plant and equipment (33 years). Accordingly, in the proforma consolidated interim statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, amortization of excess cost expenses were recorded in the category "Company's share in income (losses) of affiliated companies", in the amounts of about NIS 0.8 million and about NIS 1.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, it was assumed that the fair-value adjustments as presented in Note 6 to the consolidated interim financial statements as at June 30, 2021 and that were determined on a temporary (non-final) basis are the same as the adjustments that would have been made if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021.

As stated above, the Company partly hedged (accounting hedge) the exposure to changes in the cash flows due to payments in the Dollar in connection with the acquisition agreement by means of forward transactions. Costs deriving to the Company as a result of the said hedge in the Company's statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, in the amounts of about NIS 15 million and about NIS 88 million, which were recorded in other comprehensive income, were eliminated in the proforma statements of comprehensive income.

D. Transaction costs

It was assumed that acquisition costs, in the amounts of about NIS 2 million and about NIS 42 million, which were included in the Company's consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, were recognized in the period immediately preceding completion of the transaction for purposes of the Proforma Statements, that is, January 1, 2018, and therefore they are not included in the operating expenses in proforma consolidated statements of income. The tax impacts were included as applicable.

Note 3 – Main Assumptions that served as the Basis for Preparation of the Proforma Statements (Cont.)

E. Financing of the acquisition cost and recording of financing expenses in connection with the Acquired Activities

As stated above, the acquisition transaction was financed through raising of capital, in the amount of NIS 1,077 million, which took place in October 2020, and by means of selling debentures (Series B), in the amount of NIS 377 million, which took place in April and October 2020. Since the proforma event in statements of income is reflected as if the acquisition had been made on January 1, 2018, the Company's results of activities as included in the proforma consolidated statement of income includes deemed interest expenses, in order to reflect therein the assumption as if sale of the said debentures was executed on January 1, 2018. Therefore, the Company included deemed interest expenses in the proforma statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, in the amounts of about NIS 6 million and about NIS 8 million respectively, pursuant to the interest rate on the debentures (Series B). The tax impacts were included accordingly.

F. Seller's loan

On the completion date of the transaction, the former shareholders of the CPV Group invested about \$67 million in the CPV Group (about \$13 million in equity and about \$54 million in a seller's loan), where the amount of about \$67 million out of this amount was used for repayment of a loan from a financial institution that was received in 2017 and that bore interest at the rate of 12.5%. The Seller's loan bears interest at the annual rate of 4.5%. In the proforma consolidated statements of income, it was assumed that these transactions were executed on January 1, 2018 and, therefore, an adjustment was made of the financing costs for the refinancing and, accordingly, the financing expenses in the proforma consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 were reduced by about NIS 1 million, about NIS 8 million and about NIS 17 million, respectively, in order to reflect the difference between the interest rate of about 12.5% and the interest rate of 4.5%. In addition, in the proforma consolidated statements as at June 30, 2021, the financing income in connection with early repayment of the mezzanine loan, in the amount of about NIS 15 million, was eliminated. The tax impacts were included accordingly.

G. Taxes on income

Part of the Acquired Activities was executed through partnerships that are not taxed at the partnership level but, rather, at the level of the partners and, therefore, no tax expenses were included in the financial statements of these entities. In the Proforma Statements, the tax impacts of the Acquired Activities that are taxed as partnerships for purposes of U.S. federal taxes was included, as they are reflected at the level of the CPV Group, this being on the basis of the tax rate of the CPV Group that applied in the proforma period (about 26% in all the proforma periods – Federal tax of 21% and state tax at an average rate of 5%). As a practical result, in the proforma statement of income for the six months ended on June 30, 2021 and 2020, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded additional tax expenses, in the amount of about NIS 5 million, tax income in the amount of about NIS 12 million and tax expenses, in the amount of about NIS 12 million, respectively.

Note 3 – Main Assumptions that served as the Basis for Preparation of the Proforma Statements (Cont.)

H. Revenues and expenses that does not reflect continuation of the activities in the future

Expenses deriving from distribution of bonuses to employees, in the amount of about \$6 million (about NIS 21 million), which were paid to employees of the CPV Group in connection with completion of the transaction, which were included in the "administrative and general" category in the financial statements of the CPV Group for the six months ended June 30, 2021, were eliminated in the proforma statement of income in accordance with the assumption, as stated, that the completion date of the transaction for purposes of the proforma statements is January 1, 2018.

The revenues from sale of associated companies that were included in the statements of the CPV Group in the "other income" category in 2020, in the amount of about \$7 million (about NIS 25 million), were eliminated in the proforma statements of income since they do not reflect the Company's business plan of selling associated companies upon their increase in value but, rather, the intention to continue to hold and operate these companies.

I. Non-controlling interests

In each of the years presented in the proforma statement of income, the share of the holders of non-controlling interests in the income (loss) was included that derives from the impact of the data relating to the Acquired Activities that was used in preparation of the proforma financial statements and the proforma adjustments that were included in the proforma consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
