The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Group") are engaged in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of planar and conventional transformers worldwide. The Company's shares are traded on the Euronext Brussels stock exchange.

The Group includes Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd., its consolidated subsidiaries, and its Investee. The Company holds two fully owned subsidiaries: Payton America Inc. in Florida, USA, and Himag Planar Magnetics Ltd. in the UK. The Company also holds an affiliated company, PCT Industries Limited, a Hong Kong holding company with a manufacturing subsidiary in China, representing a 20% strategic investment.

  1. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies
    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars. The accounting policies set out in Note 3 have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

    The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

    a. Basis of Consolidation
    The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2024.

    b. Foreign Currency Translation
    The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange rates are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

    c. Revenue Recognition
    Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e., an asset) to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount that depicts the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those promised goods or services.

    d. Property and Equipment
    Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

    e. Intangible Assets
    Intangible assets, acquired separately, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortization is recognized in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets.

    f. Leases
    The Group applies IFRS 16 Leases. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the lease is available for use.

    g. Financial Instruments
    Financial instruments are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

    h. Taxes on Income
    Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, at the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

    i. Earnings Per Share
    Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to account for the effect of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

  2. Global Environment Changes and External Factors
    In 2024, the global slowdown environment continued, characterized by decreased demand, excess inventory levels, and high interest rates, influencing customer activity and leading to potential delays in scheduled deliveries. High prices of raw materials and labor costs also remained significant factors. Management expects these trends to persist in the coming months.

Additional factors affecting the Group's activity include the revaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Israeli New Shekel, the Euro, and the Pound Sterling, which has the effect of reducing local labor and operating costs in Israel and the United Kingdom.

Regarding inflation, as the functional currency of the Group's operations is the U.S. dollar and the Group does not utilize bank loans, management believes that inflation in Israel and worldwide has no material impact on the Group's business activity, apart from some adjustments required in payroll.

The increase in global interest rates is not expected to have a material negative impact on the Group, as the Company does not hold loans. Conversely, income from deposits has increased.

On October 7, 2023, a war broke out in Israel. The consequences of the war have not significantly affected the Group's day-to-day operations. The Group's local facility in the center of Israel rapidly adapted its working routine and continued its ongoing business. As of the date of this report, the local facility is fully operational, providing products and services to customers on a regular basis. Due to the Group's financial and operational strength, broad business diversification, and global dispersion of production sites and raw material suppliers, management believes it can continue its business fully and without interruption. Based on the information available at the date of approval of these financial statements, the war is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's activity and results. However, due to the inherent uncertainties and lack of information regarding the duration of the war, the Group is currently unable to foresee or assess its future effects. The Group continues to monitor global developments and implement measures to minimize any potential impact, including maintaining close contact with subcontractors, suppliers, and customers to optimize its operations. This statement is a forward-looking statement as defined above.

  1. Dividends
    On January 24, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved the payment of a dividend for the financial year 2023 in the amount of USD 10,072 thousand, or USD 0.57 per share, which was paid on March 5, 2024.

G. Competition

In recent years there has been an increasing interest of magnetics manufacturers to get into the Planar field. We can note that there are more and more companies that are trying to design and manufacture the planar components. However, the Company believes in its technology advantage know-how and capabilities. It estimates it could generally benefit from an increasing competition in the market due to greater exposure of the technology. The Company cannot estimate its future market share. The following companies are considered as its potential competitors: Pulse, Standex and Coilcraft - from the U.S.A. and Premo - from Spain.

H. Order Backlog

Such changes of delivery dates may lead to a different sales volume than indicated above according to the quarterly order backlog split. It is noted that the above statement is a forward-looking statement as defined above.

I. Framework agreements that do not constitute binding orders

As of December 31, 2024 and the date of signing the financial statements, the Group has no material framework agreements.

J. Human Resources

A factor of importance to the Company’s success is its ability to attract, train and retain highly skilled technical, and more specifically, qualified electronics engineers with experience in high frequency magnetics and with a comprehensive understanding of high frequency magnetics, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. The Company constantly improves its personnel and has so far succeeded in recruiting the appropriate personnel as required. This personnel is important in maintaining the pace in research, design and technical customer support. The Company is confident however, that the challenges inherent to its operations will satisfy its future recruitment needs. By the end of 2024, the Group employed about 170 people. The Company retains employment contracts with most of its key employees and is of the opinion that relations with its employees are satisfactory.

The Group is also preparing, in 2025, to continue coping with current slowdown of global markets. There are some push-out of scheduled deliveries based on customer needs, and great caution needs to be taken with regard to purchase forecast and inventory planning. The raw materials prices are high and no significant price reduction is expected in coming future. At this stage, it is not possible to assess the extent of the impact of the trends described above on the Group's activities. With regards to the War, currently, there is no material impact on the Group's activity and results. However, it is still impossible to foresee and assess long future effects.

Since most of the Group's sales and purchases were in USD or linked to the USD, the Group's gross profit was exposed to the changes in exchange rates of the USD in relation to the Euro, the GBP and to the local New Israeli Shekel ("NIS") mostly with regard to labor costs and other operating costs (see also Data on linkage terms, above). The Group is exposed to erosion of the USD in relation to the NIS and the GBP . Most of the Group’s salaries and other operating costs are fixed in the local currencies. Devaluation of the USD in relation to the NIS and the GBP increases the Group’s labor costs and thus influences its operating results. Devaluation of the USD in relation to the Euro and the GBP leads to a decrease in Group’s assets held in those currencies. The Company is subcontracting in China. Devaluation of the USD with relation to the Chinese currency has an indirect effect on the Group’s cost of goods sold.

Market risks

During 2024 the Company mostly used ‘limit orders’ for exchanging currency mainly in order to cover its labor costs paid in NIS.# C. Operating Results

General Note: The Group is exposed to abrasion of the USD in relation to the NIS, Euro (€) and the Pound (£). Most of the Group’s salaries and other operating costs are fixed in local currencies. Revaluation/devaluation of the local currencies drives to an increase/decrease in labor costs and other operating costs, thus, affects the operating results of the Company.

Sales revenues - The Group’s sales revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were USD 50,826 thousand compared with USD 54,856 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023, reflecting 7% decrease mainly explained by the global economic slowdown and deliveries pushouts.

Gross profit - The Group’s gross results for the year ended December 31, 2024 were USD 22,117 thousand (44%), compared with USD 24,103 thousand (44%), in the year ended December 31, 2023. The gross margin is mainly affected by sales product mix and production sites.

Development costs - Payton’s strategy is aimed at maintaining the leadership of Planar Technology. The Engineering Department works in conjunction with the engineering departments of the forerunners of today’s global technology. Development costs are mainly incurred to design and customize products for specific orders. These development costs, mainly engineering labor costs, are based upon time expended by the department’s employees. The Group’s development costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 were USD 1,672 thousand compared with USD 1,442 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in this item resulted mainly from enlargement of the engineering team as well as increase of labor cost and other employees’ benefits.

Selling & marketing expenses - The Group’s selling & marketing expenses are mainly comprised of: (1) commissions to the Group's reps’ and Marketing Personnel, which are calculated as a portion of sales, however it is further explained that not all the sales are subject to reps’ commissions and (2) other selling expenses (fixed) based on management policy. The Group’s marketing efforts are concentrated through participation in major power electronic shows around the world and by collaborating with its worldwide reps’ Network. The Group’s selling & marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, amounted to USD 2,203 thousand (4%) compared with USD 2,152 thousand (4%) in the year ended December 31, 2023.

General & Administrative expenses - The Group’s General & Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to USD 4,703 thousand compared with USD 3,863 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase relates mainly to an increase in management & administration employer costs, benefits and other incentives, as well as an increase in computing and data security expenses.

Finance income, net - The Group’s finance income for the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to USD 2,340 thousand compared with USD 1,881 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. Most of the finance income stemmed from interest on bank deposit balances. Increase resulted mainly from interest received and from exchange rate differences.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd. (“the Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2024, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

20

Revenue recognition

As discussed in Notes 2E and 16A to the consolidated financial statements, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, are USD 50.8 million. According to IFRS 15, the Company recognizes revenue from goods with no alternative use over time. The Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of goods manufactured according to customer specifications and based mainly on non-cancelable and non-refundable terms. The Company is entitled to reimbursement of the costs incurred to date, including a reasonable margin. Customer-specific goods cannot be sold to any other customer and therefore have no alternative use. Furthermore, and due to the materiality of revenue to the financial statements of the Company, and the significant management judgment involved in the revenue recognition process, we identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

With respect to this audit matter, our main audit procedures included obtaining an understanding of the design and implementation of key internal controls surrounding the recording of revenues. We sampled revenues while focusing on transactions recorded close to the year-end and in the beginning of the subsequent period, and checked that such transactions were included in the appropriate period. Our testing included sampling of source documents such as purchase orders and reviewing terms of contracts with customers to obtain evidence that revenues recorded meet the criteria of IFRS 15. We also checked if any credit notes were issued in the subsequent period in order to obtain evidence of proper revenue recognition in 2024.

Other Information in the Company's 2024 Annual Report

Other information consists of the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 21 Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 22 We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

European Uniform Electronic Format (ESEF)

In accordance with the draft standard on the audit of compliance of the Financial Statements with the European Single Electronic Format (hereafter “ESEF”), we have audited as well whether the ESEF- format is in accordance with the regulatory technical standards as laid down in the EU Delegated Regulation nr. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (hereafter “Delegated Regulation”). The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation, in accordance with the ESEF requirements, of the consolidated financial statements in the form of an electronic file in ESEF format (hereafter “digital consolidated financial statements”) included in the annual financial report. It is our responsibility to obtain sufficient and appropriate information to conclude whether the format and the tagging of the digital consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.

In our opinion, based on our work performed, the format of and the tagging of information in the official English version of the digital consolidated financial statements as per March 27, 2025, included in the annual financial report of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd., are, in all material respects, prepared in compliance with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.

The partner in charge of the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Mr. Shahar Zvulun.

PAYTON PLANAR MAGNETICS LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31

NOTE 2: - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

E. Revenue
The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standard 15 (“IFRS 15” or “the standard”) which provides guidance on revenue recognition. According to IFRS 15, the Group recognizes revenue from goods with no alternative use over time. The standard describes a five step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers:
(1) Identifying the contract with the customer.
(2) Identifying distinct performance obligations in the contract.
(3) Determining the transaction price.
(4) Allocating the transaction price to distinct performance obligations.
(5) Recognizing revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.

Identifying the contract
The Group accounts for a contract with a customer only when the following conditions are met:
(a) The parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or according to other customary business practices) and they are committed to satisfying the obligations attributable to them;
(b) The Group can identify the rights of each party in relation to the goods that will be transferred;
(c) The Group can identify the payment terms for the goods that will be transferred;
(d) The contract has a commercial substance (i.e. the risk, timing and amount of the entity’s future cash flows are expected to change as a result of the contract); and
(e) It is probable that the consideration, to which the Group is entitled to in exchange for the goods transferred to the customer, will be collected.

Identifying performance obligations
In accordance with the standard, the Group should identify distinct performance obligations in contract with customers . The Group is characterized by transactions with a one performance obligation in each contract.

Determining the transaction price
The transaction price is the amount of the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods promised to the customer.

PAYTON PLANAR MAGNETICS LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 32

NOTE 2: - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Satisfaction of performance obligations
Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over promised goods to the customer. The Group’s revenue is generated from the sale of goods manufactured according to customer specifications and based mainly on NCNR terms (non-cancelable and non-refundable). The Group is entitled to reimbursement of the costs incurred to date, including a reasonable margin. Customer-specific goods cannot be sold to any other customer and therefore have no alternative use.

Contract asset
A contract asset is recognized when the Group may recognize revenue but still has a contractual obligation to perform, such as delivery, before it can receive consideration for goods sold to the customer. Contract assets are classified as receivables when the rights in their respect become unconditional. In the following year, as the contractual obligation is completed, contract assets are classified as trade accounts receivable.

F. Disclosure of new standards in the period prior to their adoption
IFRS 18, "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements"
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board ("the IASB") issued IFRS 18, "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" ("IFRS 18") which replaces IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" . IFRS 18 is aimed at improving comparability and transparency of communication in financial statements. IFRS 18 retains certain existing requirements of IAS 1 and introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information. IFRS 18 does not modify the recognition and measurement provisions of items in the financial statements. However, since items within the statement of profit or loss must be classified into one of five categories (operating, investing, financing, taxes on income and discontinued operations), it may change the entity's operating profit. Moreover, the publication of IFRS 18 resulted in consequential narrow scope amendments to other accounting standards, including IAS 7, "Statement of Cash Flows" , and IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" . IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted commencing from January 1, 2025, subject to disclosure. The Group is evaluating the effects of IFRS 18, including the effects of the consequential amendments to other accounting standards, on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 11: - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A. Fair value

Management believes that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, trade accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other payables approximate their fair value. Financial assets presented in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value are measured according to inputs that are not based on observable market data (Level 3).

B. Financial risk management objectives and policies:

The Group's principal financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and receivables that derive directly from its operations. The Group's principal financial liabilities are comprised payables. The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Board of Directors defines principles for overall risk management, as well as the specific policy for certain risk exposures and also the use of financial instruments and excess liquidity investments. The Group's risk management framework focuses on actions to minimize possible negative effects on the Group's financial performance.

  1. Market risk
    Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises currency risk. The Group's normal course of business is being managed in U.S. dollar, thus, most of the market risks are hedged. The Group uses, from time to time, derivatives as a tool for hedging, in order to neutralize fluctuations in profit or loss.

  2. Foreign currency risk
    Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Since most of the Group's sales are in U.S. dollar, the Group's gross profit is exposed to the changes in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar in relation to the NIS and GBP, with regards to local labor costs and other operating costs, and in relation to the Chinese currency, with regards to costs of raw materials. The Group uses derivatives, from time to time, as a tool for economic hedging, especially in order to hedge labor costs and other costs paid in NIS.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis:

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

Increase in the exchange rate of:
5% in the NIS 69 196

5% in the GBP 48 33

A strengthening of the USD against the above currencies as at December 31 would have had an equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

  1. Credit risk
    Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations as a customer or under a financial instrument leading to a loss for the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activity (primarily trade accounts receivable) and from its financing activity, including deposits with banks. The Group’s revenues are derived from sales to customers in Israel, Asia, Europe, America and other countries around the world. The Company’s Management regularly monitors the customers’ balances and includes specific provisions for doubtful debts in the financial statements that adequately reflect, in the opinion of management, the loss inherent in debts the collection of which is doubtful. The Group has credit risk insurance for most of its Israeli and other customers, whose yearly activity exceeds USD 5 thousand and USD 10 thousand, respectively. The Group’s cash surpluses are invested in banks. The Group has a surplus cash investment policy for the purpose of reducing risk or maintaining liquidity.# PAYTON PLANAR MAGNETICS LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 11: - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)

  1. Liquidity risk
    The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

NOTE 12: - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Post-employment benefits
According to the labor laws and Severance Pay Law in Israel, the Company is required to pay compensation to an employee upon dismissal or retirement or to make current contributions in defined contribution plans pursuant to section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, as specified below. The Group's liability is accounted for as a post-employment benefit. The computation of the Group's employee benefit liability is made according to the current employment contract based on the employee's salary and employment term which establish the entitlement to receive the compensation.

A. Defined contribution plans
Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law, 1963 applies to part of the compensation payments, pursuant to which the fixed contributions paid by the Group into pension funds and/or policies of insurance companies release the Group from any additional liability to employees for whom said contributions were made. These contributions and contributions for benefits represent defined contribution plans.

Expenses in respect of defined contribution plans 506

B. Defined benefit plans
The Group accounts for that part of the payment of compensation that is not covered by contributions in defined contribution plans, as above, as a defined benefit plan for which an employee benefit liability is recognized and for which the Group deposits amounts in severance pay funds and in qualifying insurance policies. The net liability for the defined benefit plan is presented under non-current liabilities. Risks associated with the Group’s liability for defined benefit obligations refer to deviations in salary increases, deviations in assets performances from the expectation, as well as changes in the interest rate environment. For sensitivity analyses, reflecting the effect of changes in salary increase assumptions and interest rate, see 4 hereinafter.

NOTE 13: - TAXES ON INCOME

A. Tax laws applicable to the Group’s companies

  1. The Dollar regulations
    The Company, being a "foreign investment company", elected to be taxed as from the year 2009, based upon its results in dollars and according to applicable income tax regulations (hereinafter - "the Dollar regulations").

  2. Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 ("the Investment Law")
    The Company is subject to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 which was amended last in 2010 (hereinafter - “the Amendment to the Law”). The Amendment to the Law provisions applies to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011 and thereafter by a preferred company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment to the Law. The Amendment provides that only companies in Development Area A will be entitled to the grants track and that they will be entitled to receive benefits under this track and under the tax benefits track at the same time. In addition, a preferred enterprise track was introduced, which mainly provides a uniform and reduced tax rate for all the company’s income entitled to benefits. On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) - 2013, which raised the tax rates on preferred income as from the 2014 tax year as follows: 9% for Development Area A and 16% for the rest of the country. As stated in Note 1, the Company's factory is not located in Development Area A, and therefore the Company's tax rate on preferred income is 16%. The Amendment to the Law also provides that no tax will apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to a shareholder that is a company, for both the distributing company and the shareholder. A tax rate of 20% shall apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to an individual shareholder or foreign resident, subject to double taxation prevention treaties. The Company complies with the conditions provided in the amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments for inclusion in the scope of the tax benefits track. On November 15, 2021 the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for the 2021 and 2022 Budget Years) - 2021 (hereinafter: "the Economic Efficiency Law") was published as well as a Temporary Order to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 (hereinafter: "the temporary order"), which offers a reduced tax rate arrangement to companies that received an exemption from corporate tax under the aforesaid law. The temporary order provided that companies that choose to apply the temporary order, which is effective until November 14, 2022, will be entitled to a reduced tax rate on the "release" of exempt profits (hereinafter: "the beneficiary corporate tax rate"). The release of exempt profits makes it possible to distribute them at a reduced rate of corporate tax at the company level based on the rate of the profits being distributed pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Amendment.

NOTE 13: - TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

The reduced corporate tax rate will be determined according to the rate of exempt profits the company chooses to release from its entire exempt profits, and will be between 40% and 70% of the corporate tax rate that would have applied to the revenue in the year it was produced if it had not been exempt, but in any event no less than 6%.# PAYTON PLANAR MAGNETICS LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 13: - TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

Furthermore, a company that chooses to release its exempt profits and pay a beneficiary corporate tax rate will be required to invest in its enterprise, within a period of 5 years beginning from the tax year it elected, an amount calculated according to a formula provided in the temporary order (30% of the exempt income multiplied by the corporate tax rate and multiplied by the release rate). The investment will be made in productive assets (with the exclusion of buildings), research and development in Israel and salaries to new employees of the enterprise. Failure to comply with this condition will require the company to pay additional corporate tax. In addition, according to the Economic Efficiency Law an amendment was made to Section 74 of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 with respect to identifying the sources of dividend distributions as of August 15, 2021. The Company applied the temporary order in 2022.

3. Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969

The Company currently qualifies as an “Industrial Company” as defined in the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes) - 1969 and accordingly it is entitled to benefits, of which the most significant one is higher rates of depreciation than those prescribed in the Israeli tax ordinance.

B. Tax rates applicable to the Group

As at December 31, 2024 deferred tax assets have not been recognized mainly for capital tax losses in the amount of USD 672 thousand (year ended December 31, 2023: USD 722 thousand), since currently their utilization in the foreseeable future is not probable.
