|
The
unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and
for the three months then ended (interim financial statements) of the Company
and subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and for the year then
ended, including the notes thereto including the note regarding the adoption of IFRS. |
|
(2) |
First
term IFRS standards adoption |
|
According
to standard No. 29 Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards IFRS
(standard No. 29), the Company applies International Financial Reporting
Standards and interpretations of the committee of the International Accounting Standard
Board (IASB) Starting January 1, 2008. |
|
In
compliance with the abovementioned, the condensed interim financial statements, as of
March 31, 2008 and for the three months then ended, including all previous reporting
periods have been prepared under accounting policies consistent with International
Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations published by the International
Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard
(IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. |
|
In
these condensed interim financial statements the Company applied IFRS 1 First
time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS No. 1),
which determines instructions for first time implementation of IFRS. |
|
According
to IFRS No. 1 the effective date for implementing IFRS standards is commencing January 1,
2007. |
|
The
Company has applied in a retroactive manner the IFRS standards for all reporting periods
presented in the condensed interim financial statements. The Company implemented the IFRS

|
(2) |
First
term IFRS standards adoption (cont.) |
|
3. |
Deemed
cost for items of fixed assets |
|
IFRS
1 permits the measurement of items of fixed assets as of the transition date to the IFRS,
or at an earlier date, on the basis of a revaluation executed according to previously
applied generally accepted accounting principles, as deemed cost as of the date of the
revaluation, if, in general, the revaluation was comparable to cost or undepreciated cost
according to the IFRS, adjusted for changes such as changes in the index of prices. |
|
Through
December 31, 2007, the company adjusted its financial statements to changes in the rate
of exchange of the dollar, in accordance with the rules of Accounting Opinion 36 of the
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. |
|
For
purposes of the transition to reporting pursuant to the IFRS, the company chose to apply
the concession in IFRS 1 as above and to measure the items of its fixed assets acquired
or constructed through December 31, 2003 at deemed cost as of that date, based on their
amounts, as adjusted to changes in the rate of exchange of the dollar up to that date. |
|
Prior
to the adoption of the IFRS, the Group prepared its financial statements according to
accounting principles generally accepted in Israel. The latest annual financial
statements of the company according to accounting principles generally accepted in Israel
were prepared as of December 31, 2007 and for the year ended on that date. Comparative
figures for that period were restated in these financial statements pursuant to the IFRS. |
|
See
Note 10 with respect to the material differences between reporting pursuant to the IFRS
and reporting according to Israeli generally accepted accounting principles, as they are
relevant to the Group. |
|
B. |
The
condensed Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with section D of
the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. |
|
Until
December 31, 2003, Israel was considered a country in which hyper-inflation conditions
exist. Therefore, non-monetary balances in the balance sheet were presented on the
historical nominal amount and were adjusted to changes in the exchange rate of the U.S.
dollar. As of December 31, 2003 when the economy ceases to be hyper-inflationary and the
Company no longer adjusted its financial statements to the U.S. dollar, the adjusted
amounts as of this date were used as the historical costs. The financial statements were
edited on the basis of the historical cost, except for: |
|
|
Derivative
financial instruments measured by fair value. |
|
|
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. |
|
|
Property,
plant and equipment and intangibles assets are presented at the lower of the cost less
accumulated amortizations and the recoverable amount. |
|
|
Liabilities to employees as described in note 2S below. |

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2008
NOTE 2 |
|
SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
|
The
individual financial statements of each Group entity are presented in the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For
the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position
of each entity are expressed in the New Israeli Shekel (NIS), which is the
functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated
financial statements, see note 2U (3) as follows with regard to the exchange rate and the
changes in them during the reported period. |
|
In
preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies
other than the entitys functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the
rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet
date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates
prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date
when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of
historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. |
|
Exchange
differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period which they were created,
except for exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain
foreign currency risks. Hedge accounting details are set out in Note 2M below. |
|
For
the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities
of the Groups foreign operations of affiliated company (mainly because of its
investment in a subsidiary company that presents its financial statements in
foreign currency) are expressed in NIS using exchange rates prevailing at the balance
sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the
period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case
the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. |
|
Goodwill
and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated
as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. |
|
E. |
Basis
of consolidation |
|
The
consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and
entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the
Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as
to obtain benefits from its activities. |
|
The
results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the
consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the
effective date of disposal, as appropriate. |
|
Where
necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring
their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. |
|
All
intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on
consolidation. |
|
For
the effect of the issuance of IAS 27 (revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements see note 2V below. |

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
|
F. |
Investments
in associated companies |
|
An
associated company is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that
is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in joint venture. Significant influence is the
power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but
is not control or joint control over those policies. |
|
The
financial statements of the consolidated companies adopted to the accounting policies of
the group. |
|
The results and assets and
liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity
method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in
the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition change in the
Groups share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of
individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the Groups interest in
that associate (which includes any long-term interest that, in substance, form part of the
Groups net investment in the associate) are recognized only to the extent that the
Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the
associate. With regard to the groups examination for impairment in the investment in
affiliated companies in accordance to IAS 36 see note 2I below. |
|
Where a group entity transacts with
an associate of the Group material, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the
Groups interest in the relevant associate. |
|
G. |
Property,
plant and equipment |
|
Property,
plant and equipments are tangible items, which are held for use in the manufacture or
supply of goods or services, or leased to others, which are predicted to be used for more
than one period. The Company presents its property, plant and equipments items according
to the cost model. |
|
Under
the cost method a property, plant and equipment are presented at the balance sheet
at cost (net of any investment grants), less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes the cost of the assets acquisition
as well as costs that can be directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location
and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management. |
|
Spare
parts which are not used on a current basis are designated for use in the context of
specific items of fixed assets, where necessary. The reason for holding them is to
prevent delays in the manufacturing process and to avoid a shortage in spare parts in the
future. The spare parts that are not used on a current basis have not been installed on
items of fixed assets and are, therefore, not available for use in their present state.
In the light of this, spare parts that are not being used currently are presented with
fixed assets and are depreciated beginning from the date that they are installed on the
items of fixed assets for which they were purchased. |
|
Depreciation is calculated using the
straight-line method at rates considered adequate to depreciate the assets over their
estimated useful lives. The depreciation starts once the asset is ready for use and takes
into consideration of the anticipated scrap value at the end of the assets useful
lives. |

|
Scrap
value, depreciation method and the assets useful lives are being reviewed by management
in the end of every financial year. Changes are handled as a change of estimation and are
applied from here on. |
|
The
gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and
equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset and is recognized in income statement. |
|
Borrowing
costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying
assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready
for their intended use or sale, are assed to the costs of those assets, until such time
as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. |
|
Investment income earned on the
temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets
is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. The rest of the
borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss. |
|
For
the effect of the issuance of IAS 23 (revised) Borrowing costs see Note 2V
below. |
|
I. |
Impairment
of tangible assets |
|
At
each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment
loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in
order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to
estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a
reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are
also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to
the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent
allocation basis can be identified. |

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
|
I. |
Impairment
of tangible assets (cont.) |
|
Recoverable
amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows
have not been adjusted. |
|
If
the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than
its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is
reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit
or loss. |
|
Where
an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset
(cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount,
but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset
(cash-generating unit) in prior years. |
|
Inventories
are assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the process of production
for such sale or in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production
process or in the rendering of services. |
|
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories includes
all the cost of purchase, direct labor, fixed and variable production over heads and
other cost that are incurred, in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition. |
|
Net
realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less
the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. |
|
Inventories
that purchased on differed settlement terms, which contains a financing element, are
stated in purchase price for normal credit terms. The difference between the purchase
price for normal credit terms and the amount paid is recognized as interest expense over
the period of the financing. |
|
Cost
determined as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Raw, auxiliary materials and others |
Based on weighted-average basis. |
|
|
|
Finished products |
Based on overhead absorption costing. |
|
|
|
Products |
Based on weighted-average basis. |
|
The
spare parts that are in continuous use, are not associated with the specific fixed
assets. Some of these spare parts are even sold to the Groups affiliated companies,
as needed, and are part of the inventory. Based on the experience accumulated by the
Company, these spare parts are held for no longer than 12 months. In light of the above,
the spare parts that are in continuous use are presented in inventory clause, and
recognized in the profit and loss report when used. |

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
|
Investments
are recognized and derecognized on trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment
is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe
established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus
transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through
profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. |
|
Financial
assets are classified into loans and receivables and to financial assets through profit
and loss. The
classification of this category arises from the reason of the financial assets holding
and it is determined at its initial recognition. |
|
(2) |
Loans
and receivables |
|
Trade receivables, loans, and other
receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income
is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables
when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. |
|
(3) |
Financial
assets at FVTPL |
|
Financial
assets are classified as at FVTPL where the financial asset is either held for trading or
it is designated as at FVTPL. |
|
A
financial asset is classified as held for trading if: |
|
|
it
has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the
near future; or |
|
|
it
is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages
together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or |
|
|
it
is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. |
|
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated
at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The net gain
or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the
financial asset. |

Impairment
of financial assets |
|
Financial
assets, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. |
|
Financial
assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated
future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. |
|
Objective
evidence of impairment could include: |
|
|
significant
financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or |
|
|
default
or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or |
|
|
it
becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization. |
|
For certain financial assets, such as
customers as to which no indications of value impairment have been identified, the company
evaluates value impairment on a specific basis, in reliance on past experience and changes
in the level of delinquency in payments, as well as economic changes related to the sector
and the economic environment in which it operates. |
|
The
carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all
financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is
reduced through the use of an allowance account. |
|
When
a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance
account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the
allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized
in profit or loss. |

Financial
liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group |
|
(1) |
Classification
as debt or equity |
|
Debt
and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. |
|
An
equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an
entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are
recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. |
|
Financial liabilities are classified
as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or Other financial
liabilities for the published IAS 32 (amended), financial instruments: present an
IAS-1: presentation of financial statements see note 2V as follows. |
|
(2) |
Options
to sell sales of an investee |
|
The
company has an obligation that is derived from an option that it gave for the sale of
shares of an investee, which provide the holder thereof with the right to sell its
holdings in the investee in consideration of a variable amount of cash. |
|
The
value of the option was computed according to the economic value of the option and is
presented with non current liabilities, and classified as a liability at fair value
through operations. |
|
Any
gain or loss that results from changes in the fair value of the option is recognized in
operations. |
|
See
Note 10 E (4) below for further details on the conditions of the option. |
|
(3) |
Other
financial liabilities |
|
Other financial liabilities (capital
note issued to an investee), are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction
costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method. |
|
The
effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial
liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash
payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a
shorter period. |
|
For the treatment at CPI-linked other
financial liabilities see note 2L(4) below. |
|
(4) |
CPI-linked
liabilities |
|
The
Company has liabilities that are linked to the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter the
CPI), which are not measured at fair value under the statement of income. The Company
determines the effective interest rate in respect of these liabilities as a real rate
with the addition of linkage differences in line with actual changes in the CPI until the
balance sheet date. This is also the approach used under generally accepted accounting
principles in Israel. |

|
L. |
Financial
liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group (cont.) |
|
(4) |
CPI-linked
liabilities (cont.) |
|
As
of the balance sheet date, the Company has CPI-linked financial liabilities in the total
sum of NIS 195,644 thousands. |
|
There
is another interpretation of IFRS, under which the effective interest rate in respect of
these assets and liabilities should include the anticipated inflation up to the relevant
repayment dates (instead of accumulation of real interest plus linkage differences in
line with changes in the CPI until the balance sheet date). |
|
The
vast majority of loans and long-term and medium-term financing arrangements in Israel are
linked to the CPI. Therefore, the Israeli Institute for Accounting Standards has
submitted a request to the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee
(IFRIC) to clarify the applicable method in the measurement of the effective interest
rate of such assets and liabilities under IFRS. |
|
The
Committees response in this matter and the implications thereof cannot be reliably
predicted. If the Committees response indicates that the method used in Israel and
which was implemented in these financial statements is not appropriate in accordance with
IFRS, the Company will have to change the method of measurement of these assets and
liabilities and it may have to do so by way of restating its financial statements. Under
the present circumstances, the Company is unable to reliably measure the potential impact
on its financial statements in such a case. |
|
M. |
Derivative
financial instruments |
|
The
Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to
foreign exchange rate risk, including foreign exchange forward contracts on exchange rate,
options on exchange rate and contracts on the CPI due to notes. |
|
Derivatives are initially recognized
at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
remeasured to their fair value at each balance sheet date. The resulting gain or loss is
recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective
as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss
depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. The Group designates certain derivatives
as hedges of highly probable forecast transactions or hedges of foreign currency risk of
firm commitments (cash flow hedges). |
|
A
derivative is presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the
remaining maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and it is not expected to be
realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets
or current liabilities. |

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
|
M. |
Derivative
financial instruments (Cont.) |
|
The
Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives, and
non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as cash flow hedges. |
|
At
the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between
the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and
its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of
the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument
that is used in a hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair
values or cash flows of the hedged item. |
|
The effective portion of changes in
the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are
deferred in capital fund. Since the hedge is for expected acquisition of fixed assets, the
company chose to add the capital fund to the initial cost of the hedges item immediately.
The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit
or loss, and is included in the finance income or finance expenses
lines of the income statement. Amounts deferred in equity are recycled in profit or loss
in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss, in the same line of
the income statement as the recognised hedged item. However, when the forecast transaction
that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial
liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity
and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability. |
|
Hedge accounting is discontinued when
the Group revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain
or loss deferred in fixed assets at that time remains in fixed assets and is recognised
when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred
in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss. |
|
Revenue
is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is
reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. |
|
Revenue
from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: |
|
|
The
Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods; |
|
|
The
Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated
with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold |
|

The
amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |

|
Interest
revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the
effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets
net carrying amount. |

|
The
Companys revenues as an agency or intermediary from providing electricity, water,
steam, and logistical services to the Group without bearing the risks and returns that
derive from the transaction, are presented on a net basis. |
|
Leases
are classified as finance leases whenever the term of the lease transfer substantially
all the risks and rewands of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as
operating leases. |

|
Leases
of land from the Israel Lands Administration are classified as operating leases. The
deferred lease payments that were made on the date of the start of the lease are
presented in the balance sheet with long term receivables, and are amortized
on the straight line basis over the balance of the lease period, including the extension
option. |
|
The
company has land lease rights from the Municipality of Tel Aviv which comply with the
definition of investment real estate, and, pursuant to IAS 40, have been classified as
operating leases and not as investment real estate. |
|
Provisions
are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The
amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to
settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks
and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. |
|
Where
a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation,
its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. |

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
|
When
some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be
recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually
certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be
measured reliably. |
|
Q. |
Share
Based payments |
|
In
accordance with IFRS 2 and IFRIC 11, equity-settled share based payments to employees and
others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the grant date. The Company determines the fair value of equity-settled
share-based transaction according to the Black-Scholes model. Details regarding the
determination of the fair value of share-based transactions are set out in note 6. |
|
The
fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is
expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Groups
estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At each balance sheet date, the
Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The
impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss
over the remaining vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled
employee benefits reserve. |
|
For the effect of the issuance of
amendment to IFRS 2 Share Based Payment- Vesting and Revocation Conditions, see note 2V
below. |
|
Income tax expense represents the sum
of the tax currently payable and change in deferred tax excluding deferred tax.as result
of transaction that was attribute directly to the equity. |
|
The
tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs
from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that
are never taxable or deductible. The Groups liability for current tax is calculated
using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
|
Deferred
tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of
taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred
tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and
deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to
the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those
deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not
recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial
recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a
transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. |

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
|
The
carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. |
|
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in
the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that
would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to
recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. |
|
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set
off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income
taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current
tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. |

Company benefits after the

the company fall under Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law). |

Actuarial
gains and losses recognized when incurred are recorded to the statement of income and
expenses but due to lack of materiality, they are recorded to the statements of
operations. Past service cost is recognized immediately in the companys statements
of operations up to the extent that the benefit has vested. Unvested past service cost is
amortized over the average vesting period under the date of vesting. |

the use of actuarial estimates which are performed at each balance sheet date. The
present value of the companys obligation for vacation pay was determined by means
of the capitalization of anticipated future cash flows from the program at market yields
of government bonds, denominated in the currency in which the benefits for vacation will
be paid and having redemption dates nearly identical to the forecasted payment dates of
the vacation pay. |

difference between the amount of the short term benefits to which the employee is
entitled and the amount paid is therefore recognized as an asset or liability. |

IAS
1 (Amended) Presentation of Financial Statements |
|
The
standard stipulates the presentation required in the financial statements, and itemizes a
general framework for the structure of the financial statements and the minimal contents
which must be included in the context of the report. Changes have been made to the
existing presentation format of the financial statements, and the presentation and
disclosure requirements for the financial statements have been broadened, including the
presentation of an additional report in the framework of the financial statements known
as the report of comprehensive income, and the addition of a balance sheet as
of the beginning of the earliest period that was presented in the financial statements,
in cases of changes in accounting policy by means of retroactive implementation, in cases
of restatement and in cases of reclassifications. |
|
The
standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning from January 1, 2009. The
standard permits earlier application. |
|
At
this stage, the management of the Group is unable to assess the effect of the standard on
the financial statements. |
|
IAS
23 (Amended) Borrowing Costs |
|
The
standard stipulates the accounting treatment of borrowing costs. In the context of the
amendment to this standard, the possibility of immediately recognizing borrowing costs
related to assets with an uncommon period of eligibility or construction in the statement
of operations was cancelled. The standard will apply to borrowing costs that relate to
eligible assets as to which the capitalization period began from January 1, 2009. The
standard permits earlier implementation. |
|
At
this stage, the management of the Group is unable to assess the effect of the standard on
its financial condition and operating results. |
|
IFRS
8, Operating Segments |
|
The
standard, which replaces IAS 14, details how an entity must report on data according to
segments in the annual financial statements. The standard, among other things, stipulates
that segmental reporting of the company will be based on the information that management
of the company uses for purposes of evaluating performance of the segments, and for
purposes of allocating resources to the various operating segments. The standard will
apply to annual reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2009, with restatement of
comparative figures for prior reporting periods. The standard permits earlier adoption. |
|
At
this stage, the management of the Group estimated that the implementation of the standard
is not expected to have any influence on the financial statements of the Group. |

|
IAS
27 (Amended) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements |
|
The
standard prescribes the rules for the accounting treatment of consolidated and separate
financial statements. Among other things, the standard stipulates that transactions with
minority shareholders, in the context of which the company holds control of the
subsidiary before and after the transaction, will be treated as capital transactions. In
the context of transactions, subsequent to which the company loses control in the
subsidiary, the remaining investment is to be measured as of the date that control is
lost, at fair value, with the difference as compared to book value to be recorded to the
statement of operations. The minority interest in the losses of a subsidiary, which
exceed its share in shareholders equity, will be allocated to it in every case,
while ignoring its obligations and ability to make additional investments in the
subsidiary. |
|
The
provisions of the standard apply to annual financial reporting periods which start on
January 1, 2010 and thereafter. Earlier adoption is permitted, on the condition that it
will be done simultaneous with early adoption of IFRS 3 (amended). The standard will be
implemented retrospectively, excluding a number of exceptions, as to which the provisions
of the standard will be implemented prospectively. At this stage, the management of the
Group estimated that the implementation of the standard is not expected to have any
influence on the financial statements of the Group. |
|
IFRS
3 (Amended) Business Combinations |
|
The
new standard stipulates the rules for the accounting treatment of business combinations.
Among other things, the standard determines measurement rules for contingent
consideration in business combinations which is to be measured as a derivative financial
instrument. The transaction costs directly connected with the business combination will
be recorded to the statement of operations when incurred. Minority interests will be
measured at the time of the business combination to the extent of their share in the fair
value of the assets, including goodwill, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the
acquired entity, or to the extent of their share in the fair value of the net assets, as
aforementioned, but excluding their share in goodwill. |
|
As
for business combinations where control is achieved after a number of acquisitions
(acquisition in stages), the earlier purchases of the acquired company will be measured
at the time that control is achieved at their fair value, while recording the difference
to the statement of operations. |
|
The
standard will apply to business combinations that take place from January 1, 2010 and
thereafter. Earlier adoption is possible, on the condition that it will be simultaneous
with early adoption of IAS 27 (amended). |
|
At
this stage, the management of the Group is unable to assess the effect of the standard on
its financial condition and operating results. |

estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors
that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
|
The
estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if
the revision affects both current and future periods. |

Critical
judgments in applying accounting policies |
|
The
following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (see below),
that the management have made in the process of applying the entitys accounting
policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in financial
statements: |
|
|
Deferred
taxes- the company recognizes deferred tax assets for all of the deductible temporary
differences up to the amount as to which it is anticipated that there will be taxable
income against which the temporary difference will be deductible. During each period, for
purposes of calculation of the utilizable temporary difference, management uses estimates
and approximations as a basis which it evaluates each period. |
|
|
Approximation
of length of life of items of fixed assets- each period, the companys management
evaluates salvage values, depreciation methods and length of useful lives of the fixed
assets. |

Provisions
for legal proceeding |

Against the company and its
subsidiaries there are 6 claims pending and open in a total amount of approximately NIS
20,024 thousands (March 31, 2007: NIS 11,334 thousands, December 31, 2007: NIS 23,154
thousands), as to which a provision of approximately NIS 400 thousands (March 31, 2007:
NIS 300 thousands, December 31, 2007: NIS 300 thousands) was recorded. For purposes of
evaluating the legal relevance of these claims, as well as determining the reasonableness
that they will be realized to its detriment, the companys management relies on the
opinion of legal and professional advisors. After the companys advisors expound
their legal position and the probabilities of the company as regards the subject of the
claim, whether the company will have to bear its consequences or whether it is will be
able to rebuff it, the company approximates the amount which it must record in the
financial statements, if at all. An interpretation that differs from that of the legal
advisors of the company as to the existing legal situation, a varying understanding by the
companys management of the contractual agreements as well as changes derived from
relevant legal rulings or the addition of new facts may influence the value of the overall
provision with respect to the legal proceedings that are pending against the company and,
thus affect the companys financial condition and operating results. |

The
present value of the companys obligation for the payment of benefits to pensioners
and severance pay to employees that are not covered under Section 14 to the Severance Pay
Law is based upon a great amount of data, which are determined on the basis of an
actuarial estimation, through the utilization of a large number of assumptions, including
the capitalization rate. Changes in the actuarial assumptions could affect the book value
of the obligation of the company for employees benefits. The company approximates
the capitalization rate once annually, on the basis of the capitalization rate of
government bonds. Other key assumptions are determined on the basis of conditions present
in the market, and on the basis of the cumulative past experience of the company. |

SHARE BASED PAYMENT |
|
In
January 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a program for the allotment,
for no consideration, of non marketable options to the CEO of the company, to employees
and officers of the company and investees. In the context of the program, an allotment of
287,750 options was approved, of which 40,250 options were to the CEO of the company,
135,500 to management of the subsidiaries and 74,750 to management of the affiliates.
On May 11, 2008, the board of
directors of the company approved the allotment to a trustee of the balance of
the options that had not been allotted through that date, in the amount of 32,250 options
as a pool for the future grant to officers and employees of investees, subject to the
approval of the board of directors.
The date of grant of the options was set for the months of January- March 2008, subject
to restrictions of Section 102 (capital route) of the Income Tax Ordinance. As of the
date of approval of the financial statements, 250,500 options had been allotted. Each
option is exercisable into one ordinary share of the company with NIS 0.01 par value
against the payment of an exercise increment in the amount of NIS 223.965 (subject to
adjustments). The options will vest in installments as follows: 25% of the total options
will be exercisable from January 14, 2009; 25% of the total options will be exercisable
from January 14, 2010; 25% of the total options will be exercisable from January 14,
2011; and 25% of the total options will be exercisable from January 14, 2012. The vested
options are exercisable through January 14, 2012, 2013, 2014 for the first and second,
third and fourth portions, respectively. |
|
The
cost of the benefit embedded in the allotted options as above, on the basis of the fair
value as of the date they are granted, was approximated to be the amount of approximately
NIS 13.5 million. This amount will be charged to the statement of operations over the
vesting period. The debt for the grant to officers of the affiliates will be paid in
cash. |
|
The
fair value of the options granted as aforementioned was estimated by applying the Black
and Scholes model. In this context, the effect of the terms of vesting will not taken
into account by the company, other than the market condition of fair value of the capital
instruments granted. |
|
The
parameters which were used for implementation of the model are as follows: |
Share price (NIS) |
217.10 - 245.20 |
Exercise price (NIS) |
223.965 |
Anticipated volatility (*) |
27.04% |
Length of life of the options (years) |
3-5 |
Non risk interest rate |
5.25% |
|
(*)
The anticipated volatility is determined on the basis of historical
fluctuations of the share price of the company. The average length of life of
the option was determined in accordance with managements forecast as to
the holding period by the employees of options granted to them, in
consideration of their functions in the company and past experience of the
company with employees leaving. |

Adjustments) (Amendment 20) (Limitation of Term of Validity) 2008
(hereinafter: The Amendment), pursuant to which the application of the
inflationary adjustment law will terminate in tax year 2007 and as of tax year 2008, the
law will no longer apply, other than transition regulations whose intention it is to
prevent distortions in tax calculations. |
|
According
to the amendment, in tax year 2008 and thereafter, the adjustment of revenues for tax
purposes will no longer be considered a real-term basis for measurement. Moreover, the
linkage to the CPI of the depreciated sums of fixed assets and carryover losses for tax
purposes will be discontinued, in a manner whereby these sums will be adjusted until the
CPI at the end of 2007 and their linkage to the CPI will end as of that date. |

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2008
NOTE 10 |
|
DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE ADOPTION OF IFRS |
|
Following
the publication of Accounting Standard No. 29, the Adoption of International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in July 2006, the Company adopted IFRS
starting January 1, 2008. |
|
Pursuant
to the provisions of IFRS1, which deals with the first-time adoption of IFRS, and
considering the date in which the Company elected to adopt these standards for the first
time, the financial statements which the Company must draw up in accordance with IFRS
rules, are the consolidated financial statement as of December 31, 2008, and for the year
ended on that date. The date of transition of the Company to reporting under IFRS, as it
is defined in IFRS 1, is January 1, 2007 (hereinafter: the transition date),
with an opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2007 (hereinafter: Opening Balance).
The Companys interim financial statements for 2008 will also be drawn up in
accordance with IFRS, and shall include comparative figures for the year. |
|
Under
the opening balance sheet, the Company performed the following reconciliations: |
|
|
Recognition
of all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by IFRS. |
|
|
De-recognition
of assets and liabilities if IFRS do not permit such recognition. |
|
|
Classification
of assets, liabilities and components of equity according to IFRS. |
|
|
Application
of IFRS in the measurement of all recognized assets and liabilities. |
|
IFRS
1 states that all IFRS shall be adopted retroactively for the opening balance sheet. At
the same time, IFRS 1 includes 14 reliefs, in respect of which the mandatory retroactive
implementation does not apply. As to the reliefs implemented by the Company, see section
F below. |
|
Changes
in the accounting policy which the Company implemented retroactively in the opening
balance sheet under IFRS, compared to the accounting policy in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles in Israel, were recognized directly under Retained
Earnings or another item of Shareholders Equity, as the case may be. |
|
This
note is formulated on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards and the
notes thereto as they stand today, that have been published and shall enter into force or
that may be adopted earlier as at the Groups first annual reporting date according
to IFRS, December 31, 2008. Pursuant to the above, the Companys management has made
assumptions regarding the anticipated financial reporting regulations that are expected
to be implemented when the first annual financial statements are prepared according to
IFRS, for the year ended December 31, 2008. |
|
The
IFRS standards that will be in force or that may be adopted in the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 are subject to changes and the
publication of additional clarifications. Consequently, the financial reporting
standards that shall be applied to the represented periods will be determined finally
only upon preparation of the first financial statements according to IFRS, as at December
31, 2008. |
|
Listed
below are the Companys consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2007, March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2007, the consolidated statement of income and the shareholders equity
for the year ended on December 31, 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2007
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards. In addition, the table
presents the material reconciliations required for the transition from reporting under
Israeli GAAP to reporting under IFRS. |

Additional
information |
|
In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, deferred tax assets
or liabilities were classified as current assets or liabilities depending on the
classification of the assets in respect of which they were created. |
|
Pursuant
to IAS 1, deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified as non-current assets or
liabilities, respectively. |
|
Consequently,
amounts of NIS 7,856 thousands, NIS 8,657 thousands and NIS 9,116 thousands which were
previously presented under accounts receivable were reclassified to deferred taxes under
non-current taxes as of January 1, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2007
respectively. |
|
(2) |
Land
leased from the Israel Land Administration |
|
In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, land leased from the
Israel Land Administration, was classified as property, plant and equipment and included
in the amount of the capitalized leasing fees that were paid. The amount paid was not
depreciated. |
|
Pursuant
to IAS 17, Lease, land lease arrangements, whereunder at the end of the
leasing period, the land is not transferred to the lessor, are classified as operating
lease arrangements. As a result, the Companys lands in Hadera and in Naharia which
were leased from the Israel Land Administration, shall be presented in the Companys
balance sheet as lease receivables in respect of lease, and amortized over the remaining
period of the lease. |
|
The
company has lease rights in land from the Tel Aviv Municipality conforming to the
definition of investment real estate, that have been classified as operating leases and
not as investment real estate pursuant to IAS 40. |
|
As
a result, as of January 1, 2007, the balance of prepaid expenses with respect to the
operating lease grew by the amount of approximately NIS 30,023 thousands and the balance
of fixed assets declined by the amount of approximately NIS 34,814 thousands. The change
was recorded in part to retained earnings, the amount of approximately NIS 1,867
thousands, and, in part, against deferred taxes in the amount of approximately NIS 2,923
thousands. |
|
As
of March 31, 2007, the balance of prepaid expenses with respect to the operating lease
grew by the amount of approximately NIS 29,836 thousands and the balance of fixed assets
declined by the amount of approximately NIS 34,785 thousands. The change was recorded in
part to retained earnings, the amount of approximately NIS 2,018 thousands, and, in part,
against deferred taxes in the amount of approximately NIS 2,931 thousands. |

Land
leased from the Israel Land Administration (cont.) |
|
As
of December 31, 2007, the balance of prepaid expenses with respect to the operating lease
grew by the amount of approximately NIS 29,263 thousands and the balance of fixed assets
declined by the amount of approximately NIS 34,701 thousands. The change was recorded in
part to retained earnings, the amount of approximately NIS 1,508 thousands, and, in part,
against deferred taxes in the amount of approximately NIS 3,927 thousands. |
|
The
amortization of the lease fees is reflected in the increase of general and administrative
expenses in the amount of approximately NIS 158 thousands for the period of three months
ended March 31, 2007, NIS thousands for the year ended December 31, 2007. Respectively,
and in an increase of approximately 644 in addition, tax expenses decreased in the amount
of approximately 8 thousands for the period of three months ended on March 31, 2007,
decreased by the amount of approximately NIS 1,004 thousands for the year ended December
31, 2007. |
|
In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, the Companys
liability for severance pay is calculated based on the recent salary of the employee
multiplied by the number of years of employment. |
|
Pursuant
to IAS 19, the provision for severance pay is calculated according to an actuarial basis
taking into account the anticipated duration of employment, the value of time, the
expected salary increases until retirement and the possible retirement under conditions
not entitling severance pay. |
|
In
addition, under Israeli GAAP, deposits made with regular policies or directorsinsurance
policies which are not in the employees name, but in the name of the employer, were
also deducted from the companys liability. |
|
Under
IFRS, regular policies or directors insurance policies as aforesaid, which do not
meet the definition of plan assets under IAS 19, will be presented in the balance sheet
under a separate item and will not be deducted from the employers liability. |
|
Most
of the Groups employees are covered according to Section 14 of the Compensation
Law. Employee deposits are not reflected in the Companys financial statements and
accordingly, no provision is necessary in the books. |
|
However,
the Company is required to pay employees differences from entitlement to severance pay
and unutilized vacation pay. These liabilities are computed in accordance with the actuarys
assessment based on an estimate of their utilization and redemption. |

Employee
Benefits (cont.) |
|
In
addition, net liabilities in respect of benefits to employees after retirement, which
relate to defined benefit plans, are measured based on actuarial estimates and discounted
amounts. |
|
According
to the international standards, a policy or executive insurance as above, which does not
conform to the definition of plan assets as per IAS 19, will be presented separately in
the balance sheet and not offset from the liabilities of the employer. |
|
According
to the policy adopted by the Company, actuarial profits are recorded to retained earnings
but, due to lack of materiality, they have been recorded in full to operations. |
|
As
a result, as of January 1, 2007, an increase in the net liabilities for employeesbenefit
plans in the amount of NIS 5,563 thousands was created, and in addition, an increase in
the deferred tax asset was created in the amount of NIS 1,391 thousands. |

Put
option for investee |
|
As
part of an agreement dated November 21, 1999 with Mondi Business Paper (hereafter MBP,
formerly Neusiedler AG), Mondi Hadera purchased the operations of the Group in the area
of writing and typing paper and issued 50.1% of its shares to MBP. |
|
As
part of this agreement, MBP was granted an option to sell its holdings in Mondi Hadera to
the company, at a price 20% lower than its value (as defined in the agreement) or $ 20
million less 20%, whichever is higher. According to oral understandings between persons
in the company and persons in MBP, which were formulated in proximity to signing the
agreement, MBP will exercise the option only in extremely extraordinary circumstances,
such as those which obstruct manufacturing activities in Israel over a long period. |
|
In
view of the extended period which has passed since the date of such understandings and
due to changes in the management of MBP, occurring recently, the company has chosen to
take a conservative approach, and, accordingly, to reflect the economic value of the
option in the context of the transition to reporting according to international
standards. Under accounting principles generally accepted in Israel, it was not required
to give a value to the PUT option. According to the international standards, the value of
the option was computed and recognized as a liability, measured according to fair value,
with changes in fair value being recorded to operations in accordance with IAS 39. |
|
As
of January 1, 2007, a liability with respect to the option for sale of the shares of the
investee in the amount of approximately NIS 1,612 thousands was presented. |
|
As
of March 31, 2007, a liability with respect to the option for sale of the shares of the
subsidiary in the amount of approximately NIS 1,465 thousands was presented. |
|
As
of December 31, 2007, a liability with respect to the option for sale of the shares of
the subsidiary in the amount of approximately NIS 3,901 thousands was presented. |
|
Other
expenses declined by the amount of approximately NIS 147 thousands for the period of
three months ended March 31, 2007, and rose in the amount of approximately NIS 2,289
thousands for the year ended December 31, 2007. |
|
(5) |
Financial
Income and Expenses |
|
In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, financing income and
expenses are presented under the statement of income in one amount. |
|
Pursuant
to IAS 1, financing income and expenses should be presented separately. |
|
Consequently, financing expenses in
the amounts of NIS 7,859 thousands and NIS 31,766 thousands and financing income in
the amounts of NIS 1,275 thousands and NIS 10,648 thousands were presented in the
income statements for the three moths ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31,
2007 respectively. |

Other
Income and Expenses |
|
In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, other income and
expenses are presented in the income statements after the Operating profit. |
|
Pursuant
to IAS 1, other income and expenses should be presented as a part of Gross profit or /
and as a part of Operating costs and expenses. |
|
Consequently,
other expenses in the amounts of NIS 2,178 thousands were classified at the profit from
ordinary operations in the income statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. |
|
In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, current tax assets or
liabilities were classified as other current assets or liabilities. |
|
Pursuant
to IAS 1, current tax assets or liabilities are classified as separate balance in the
balance sheet. |
|
Consequently,
amounts of NIS 19,824 thousands, NIS 8,176 thousands and NIS 908 thousands which were
previously presented under other current assets were reclassified to current tax assets
as of January 1, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2007 respectively. |

Investment
in Associated Companies |
|
In
the course of the second quarter, of 2007 Carmel, an associated company, made a
repurchase of its own shares, held by some of its minority shareholders.As a
result of this repurchase, the Companys holdings in Carmel rose from 26.25% to
reach 36.21%.This increase in the holding rate led to a negative cost surplus of
NIS 4,923 thousands for the Company. According to Standard 20 (amended), this was
allocated to non-monetary items and will be realized in accordance with the realization
rate of these items. |
|
During
2007, the Company included a sum of NIS 2,439 thousands in earnings from associated
companies, as a result of the realization of these items.According to the
directives of IAS 28 regarding the equity method of accounting, the balance of the
negative cost surplus in the amount of NIS 4,923 thousands will be allocated to the
Companys share in earnings of associated companies during 2007, thereby increasing
the Companys earnings for the year ended on December 31, 2007 by a sum of NIS 2,484
thousands.The Investments in Associated Companies item in the balance sheet will
also grow by the said sum. |

Provision
for doubtful debts |
|
Under
generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, the provision for doubtful debts is
calculated both by means of a general provision on the basis of approximations and past
experience, ascertained by the company in accordance with the structure and nature of the
customers in the various companies, and also on the basis of a specific provision for
customers where the likelihood of collection was low in reliance on indicators in the
hand of the company and was made in a specific manner. |
|
According
to international standards, the provision for doubtful debts is calculated solely on the
basis of a specific provision. |
|
As
a result, the amount of the provision for doubtful debts increased as of January 1, 2007
by the amount of NIS 218 thousands and deferred taxes decreased by NIS 63 thousands. |
|
The
amount of the provision for doubtful debts increased as of March 31, 2007 by the amount
of NIS 226 thousands and deferred taxes decreased by NIS 63 thousands. |
|
The
amount of the provision for doubtful debts increased as of December 31, 2007 by the
amount of NIS 218 thousands and deferred taxes decreased by NIS 59 thousands. |

Capital
note issued to an investee |
|
The
companys balance sheet includes a capital note that was issued to an investee. Due
to the fact that no repayment date was set for the capital note, and in view of the fact
that the company is not a controlling interest in the investee, the capital note was
presented under Israeli standards at its nominal value, and financial expenses in respect
of same were not recorded in the statement of operations. |
|
In
accordance with the directives of the international standards, the capital note was
classified as a financial liability under IAS 39. Therefore, the capital note will be
measured at unamortized cost, while using the effective interest method. |
|
In
accordance with understandings reached between the company and the investee, that the
capital note will not be repayable prior to January 1, 2009, the unamortized cost of the
capital note in the financial statements of the company prepared according to the
directives of the international standards will be considered as if it were repayable on
such date. |

Reliefs
with respect to the retroactive implementation of IFRS adopted by the Company |

does not apply. The Company elected to adopt in its opening balance sheet under IFRS as
of January 1, 2007 (hereinafter: the opening balance sheet) the reliefs with
regards to: |
|
The

|
(2) |

Deemed
Cost For Items Of Fixed Assets |
|
IFRS
1 allows to measure fixed assets, as of the transition date, or before it,

principles, as deemed cost, on the time of the revaluation, if the revaluation
was comparable in general, to the cost or to the cost net of accumulated
depreciation according to the IFRS standards, adjusted to changes such as
changes in the CPI. |
|
Until
December 31, 2003 the Company adjusted its financial statements to the changes
in foreign rate of the U.S dollar, in accordance with opinion No. 36 of the
institute of Certified Accountancy in Israel. |
|
For
the purpose of adapting the IFRS standards, the Company chose to implement the above said
relief allowed under IFRS 1, and to measure fixed assets items that were purchased or
established up to December 31, 2003 according to the affective cost for that date, based
on their adjusted value to the foreign exchange rate of the U.S dollar up to that date. |

Re: |
Review
of Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three
Months Ended March 31, 2008 |
Gentlemen:
At your request, we have reviewed the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements (interim financial
statements) of Mondi Business Paper Hadera Ltd. (the Company) and its
subsidiaries, as follows:
|
Balance
sheet as of March 31, 2008. |
|
Statement
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008. |
|
Statement
of changes in shareholders equity for the three months ended March 31, 2008. |
|
Statement
of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008. |
Our review was conducted in
accordance with procedures prescribed by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in
Israel. The procedures included, inter alia, reading the aforementioned interim financial
statements, reading the minutes of the shareholders meetings and meetings of the
board of directors and its committees, and making inquiries with the persons responsible
for financial and accounting affairs.
Since the review that was performed
is limited in scope and does not constitute an audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, we do not express an opinion on the aforementioned interim financial
statements.
In performing our review, nothing
came to our attention, which indicates that material adjustments are required to the
aforementioned interim financial statements for them to be deemed financial statements
prepared in conformity with international accounting standard No. 34 Interim
Financial Reporting and in accordance with Section D of the Israeli Securities
Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.
