Hadera Paper Ltd.
Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2011

Hadera, Israel, May 16, 2011 - Hadera Paper Ltd. (AMEX:AIP) (the “Company” or “Hadera Paper”) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 (the "Reported Period"). The Company, its subsidiaries and associated company – are referred to hereinafter as the "Group".

The Consolidated Data set forth below excludes the results of operation of the associated company Hogla-Kimberly Ltd. ("H-K").

Consolidated sales during the reported period amounted to NIS 517.6 million, as compared with NIS 240.0 million last year, representing an increase of 115.7%, originating primarily from growth in the sales of the packaging paper and recycling sector as compared with the corresponding period last year, coupled with the consolidation of the sales of Hadera Paper - Writing and Printing Ltd ("Hadera Paper Printing"), starting January 1, 2011, in the total sum of NIS 182.1 million, net of inter-company sales totaling NIS 172.6 million.

The operating profit totaled NIS 53.8 million during the reported period, 10.4% of sales, as compared with NIS 7.4 million, 3.1% of sales, in the corresponding period last year. The increase in operating profit during the reported period, in relation to the corresponding period last year, is primarily attributed to non-recurring revenues from the sale of real estate, coupled with the significant growth in the gross profit as a result of the said growth in sales, that was offset as a result of the consolidation of the results of the Hadera Paper Printing sector, starting January 1, 2011, due to an operating loss of NIS -3.0 million in this sector.

The net profit attributed to the Company's shareholders amounted to NIS 41.2 million in the reported period, as compared with net profit of NIS 24.3 million in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of 69.5%. The net profit, net of non-recurring revenues and expenditures during the reported period, amounted to NIS 19.8 million, representing a decrease of 18.6% in relation to the corresponding period last year.

The net profit attributed to the company's shareholders during the reported period was affected by the improvement in the operating margin at most group companies in Israel and in Turkey as a result of the increase in the volume of operations, that brought about an improvement in the operating profit as mentioned above, coupled with non-recurring revenues from the sale of real estate. In addition the net profit was adversely affected by the increase on the financial expenses in the reported period as compared with the corresponding period last year.

Basic earnings per share amounted to NIS 8.10 per share ($2.33 per share) in the reported period, as compared with basic earnings per share of NIS 4.80 per share ($1.29 per share) in the corresponding period last year.

 
 

 

The exchange rate of the NIS in relation to the dollar was revaluated by approximately 1.9% during the reported period, as compared with a revaluation of approximately 1.6% during the reported period last year (the average exchange rate of the NIS vis-à-vis the dollar was revaluated during the reported period by a rate of approximately 3.6% in relation to the corresponding period last year). The changes in exchange rates as mentioned above, affected the results of the various sectors, although the Group's business portfolio, including the investee companies, is practically at equilibrium in terms of foreign currency and consequently, the exposure of the Group to sharp fluctuations in currency exchange rates is low.

The inflation rate during the reported period amounted to 0.7%, as compared with a negative inflation rate of -0.9% in the corresponding period last year.

The Company estimates that the demand for recycled packaging paper, as a replacement for virgin packaging paper, is continuing in global paper markets. The trend of rising prices of recycled products in the global packaging paper market continued in the first quarter as well, at an average rate of approximately 5.7% (according to publications of PPI Germany). The prices of recycled products are expected to rise by a further 5% starting in May 2011. The said increase in prices and demand, in addition to the prevailing high level of prices, may support the continued growth and expansion in the volumes of operation of the packaging paper sector, in Israel and worldwide.

The Group manages a wide and diverse portfolio of companies and businesses focused on consumer goods and basic commodities. As part of the trend of consumption in the Israeli economy during the reported period, this trend led to an increase in demand at most Group companies for a wide range of products, while continuing to place an emphasis on the implementation of efficiency and cost-cutting measures across all sectors of operation.

In terms of raw materials, in the course of the first quarter, the NIS was revaluated in relation to the average dollar and the euro, in relation to last year, by a rate of approximately 3.6% and 4.8%, respectively. This revaluation led to savings in terms of inputs and imported products denominated in dollars or euro, in the principal sectors of operation of the company, whose prices track import prices in the said currencies. As a result of the said revaluation, the relative price of natural gas denominated in dollars, decreased by approximately 3.7% in relation to last year and also contributed to savings. These savings were partially offset as a result of the rise in the prices of water during the reported period by an average rate of approximately 24%, in relation to the corresponding period last year, along with the increase in the prices of electricity during the reported period, in relation to the corresponding period last year, by a rate of approximately 6.7%. In addition, a sharp rise was recorded in the price of fibers, by an average rate of approximately 19% in relation to last year.

The financial expenses during the reported period amounted to NIS 17.4 million, as compared with NIS 0.9 million in the corresponding period last year. The sharp rise in financial expenses is attributed primarily to the fact that during the corresponding period last year, the cost of financing Machine 8 was capitalized. This capitalization ended in late May 2010. An additional factor consists of expenditures on account of bond series 5, that was issued in May 2010. Moreover, an increase of NIS 3.7 million was recorded in financial expenses in relation to the corresponding period last year, as a result of the higher inflation rate during the reported period, as compared with a lower inflation rate during the corresponding period last year, coupled with the consolidation of the financial expenses of Hadera Paper Printing, starting January 1, 2010, in the sum of NIS 2.9 million.

The company’s share in the profits of associated companies totaled NIS 11.1 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 19.5 million in the corresponding period last year. The decrease is partially attributed to the Company's share in the profits of Hadera Paper Printing (which starting 1, January 2011, is consolidated in the Company's reports).

The following principal changes were recorded in the Company’s share in the earnings of associated companies, in relation to the corresponding period last year:
 
 
-
The company's share in the net profit of H-K Israel (49.9%) during the reported period, amounted to NIS 11.9 million, as compared with NIS 18.8 million in the corresponding period last year. The decrease in the sum of NIS 6.9 million, originated primarily from the decrease in operating profit that fell from NIS 50.4 million to NIS 29.2 million this year. The decrease in the operating profit is primarily attributed to the erosion of selling prices in certain segments of operation as a result of escalating competition in the market, coupled with non-recurring expenditures associated with compensation of consumers on account of complaints related to leaks in a new brand of diapers. These were offset by efficiency measures that were implemented across the company, the lowering of purchasing expenditures in view of the decrease in the average dollar exchange rate by approximately 3.6%, coupled with empowering the company brands. These factors served to reduce the erosion in profit during the reported period.
 
 
-
The company's share in the losses of KCTR Turkey (49.9%) during the reported period, amounted to NIS 0.8 million, as compared with NIS 1.2 million in the corresponding period last year, representing a decrease of approximately NIS 0.4 million. The reduced loss, despite the slight decrease in the volume of operations, is primarily attributed to the continuing efficiency measures during the reported period, that led to the reduction in the operating loss from NIS 3.2 million in the corresponding period last year, to NIS 0.2 million during the reported period. The improvement in the operating profit was partially offset by the recording of financial expenditures of NIS 1.4 million, as compared with financial revenues of NIS 0.8 million in the corresponding period last year.
 
In other matter, the Company announced today that Pursuant to the information provided by the Company in the periodical report for 2010, regarding negotiations being conducted by the Company regarding an agreement for the purchase of natural gas, the Company announced that an agreement was signed on May 15, 2011 between the company and the partners in the Yam Tethys projects ("The Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the term of the agreement signed between the companies on July 29, 2005, for the purchase of natural gas ("The Original Agreement") (regarding which the Company issued a press release on July 31, 2005), will be extended by an additional 2 years, until June 30, 2013.

The formula for the price of gas set in the Agreement is based on the price of petroleum (Brent barrel) and includes a minimum price for the price of gas. It should be noted, that following the sharp rise in fuel prices that took place since the signing of the Original Agreement, the price of gas in the Agreement is significantly higher than the maximum price that was set in the Original Agreement. This fact could potentially have an impact on the price of gas for the Company, as compared with the cost according to the Original Agreement, by an additional sum of approximately $19.4 million per annum (according to the calculation of the formula at the date of signing the Agreement, in terms of gross cost, prior to tax shield), the Company is making preparations for a cost-cutting and efficiency plan accordingly.  The actual cost of the gas is dependent upon numerous factors, primarily changes in global petroleum prices. The remaining terms of the Original Agreement would remain in force, with the necessary changes.
 
The overall financial volume of the Agreement is currently estimated at approximately $63 million (according to the calculation of the formula at the date of signing the Agreement). It should be clarified that the actual volume may change over time as a result of changes in global petroleum prices. In parallel, as stated in previous reports of the Company, the Company is continuing to evaluate a project for building a new power station at the Hadera site.
 
This report contains various forward-looking statements based upon the Board of Directors’ present expectations and estimates regarding the operations and plans of the Group and its business environment. The Company does not guarantee that the future results of operations will coincide with the forward-looking statements and these may in fact differ considerably from the present forecasts as a result of factors that may change in the future, such as changes in costs and market conditions, failure to achieve projected goals, failure to achieve anticipated efficiencies and other factors which lie outside the control of the Company as well as certain other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation for publicly updating the said forward-looking statements, regardless of whether these updates originate from new information, future events or any other reason.

Principal Current Operations

 
1.
The Business Environment

Whereas 2010 was marked by economic recovery, alongside continued concerns regarding the implications of the financial crisis, primarily in Europe and the United States, since the beginning of 2011, an increase was recorded in the level of uncertainty in global financial markets. This is attributed inter alia to significant geopolitical changes in several Arab nations in the Middle East and North Africa, that led to a rise in petroleum prices, coupled with the earthquake in Japan that damaged nuclear power stations in the country and led to fears concerning damage that would be incurred by the third largest economy in the world, following the sharp rise in 2010 in overall commodity prices and petroleum prices in particular.

In the Israeli economy, the year 2011 started out with the continuation of the rapid growth trend accompanied by a certain rise in the inflationary environment. On the other hand, the said geopolitical developments in several Arab nations served to increase the uncertainty and volatility of the Israeli capital market. The continuation of the geopolitical instability in the Middle East, may - under certain scenarios - negatively affect the situation in the Israeli economy, although its impact on real-term economic activity is limited for the time being. Contractionary monetary measures are continuing in the Israeli economy since the beginning of 2011, alongside a similar process in additional emerging markets worldwide and the beginning of a similar process in the eurobloc as well.

The Company estimates that the demand for recycled packaging paper, as a replacement for virgin packaging paper, is continuing in global paper markets. The trend of rising prices of recycled products in the global packaging paper market continued in the first quarter as well, at an average rate of approximately 5.7% (according to publications of PPI Germany). The prices of recycled products are expected to rise by a further 5% starting in May 2011. The said increase in prices and demand, in addition to the prevailing high level of prices, may support the continued growth and expansion in the volumes of operation of the packaging paper sector, in Israel and worldwide.

The above information pertaining to the geopolitical uncertainty, the future trends in the paper market and input prices constitutes forward-looking information as defined in the Securities Law, based on the company's estimates at the date of this report. These estimates may not materialize - in whole or in part - or may materialize in a different manner, inter alia on account of factors that lie outside the control of the company, such as business opportunities that may be offered at the company, dependence upon external factors, development and changes in regulation, changes in global raw material prices, changes in the prices of gas, fuel and energy and changes in the supply and demand of global paper products as well as changes in the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.

 
2.
Impact of the Business Environment on Company Operations

General
 
The Hadera Paper Group manages a wide and diverse portfolio of companies and businesses focused on consumer goods and basic commodities. As part of the trend of consumption in the Israeli economy during the reported period, this trend led to an increase in demand at most Group companies for a wide range of products, while continuing to place an emphasis on the implementation of efficiency and cost-cutting measures across all sectors of operation.

Sector Operations
 
In the packaging paper and recycling sector, Machine 8 entered into full operation during the reported period (the new packaging paper manufacturing array), as compared with the running-in period in the corresponding period last year. This manufacturing array led to the doubling of operations in the sector, which is currently toward the end of the learning curve associated with the machine. The operation of the new manufacturing array has led to a significant increase in the volume of operations. Moreover, Packaging Paper has increased the sales of new paper types that it has developed, recycled paper replacing paper based on virgin pulp. Selling prices in the packaging paper sector are currently on an upward trend in Israel, in line with rising prices globally. The quantitative growth and the high selling prices brought about a significant improvement in the operating results of the sector, as compared with the corresponding period last year.

Amnir collects paper waste, which constitutes the main raw material for the manufacture of packaging paper, from various sources throughout Israel. The Packaging Law entered into effect on March 1, 2011, and certain provisions regarding the start of collection by the recognized body will enter into effect on July 1, 2011.  In light of the directives of the Packaging Law, the Company cannot at this point assess the impact of the law on its activities, and this depends, inter-alia, on arrangements to be set by virtue of the law regarding separation at source, in the matter of collection and removal of waste, and on the method by which the recognized body established by power of the law operates. The company is examining the situation and is working toward adapting its paper collection operations. For additional details regarding the packaging law, see the detailed explanation in the periodical report dated December 31, 2010, in Section 24.1.24.5.
 
The impact of the packaging law on the company constitutes forward-looking information as defined in the Securities Law, based on the company's estimates at the date of this report. These estimates may not materialize - in whole or in part - or may materialize in a different manner, inter alia on account of factors that lie outside the control of the company, such as arrangements that will be determined by virtue of the law, changes in global raw material prices and changes in the supply and demand of global paper products.

In the Hadera Paper Printing sector, the prices of pulp (the principal raw material in this sector) continued to soar during the reported period in relation to the corresponding period last year. Moreover, the trend of decreasing selling prices for products in this sector, that began in the fourth quarter of 2010, continued during the reported period in light of escalating competition as a result of imports at low prices and as a result of the rising shekel against the dollar. In order to contend with this business environment, the Hadera Paper Printing sector continued to expand its export operations, including penetration into newer and more lucrative markets in the United States. These measures served to decrease the erosion in the profitability of the sector. Furthermore, during the reported period, the sector began to operate from the new logistics center in Modiin, while improving the level of customer service as compared with the period prior to the relocation. This relocation serves to improve the logistic capabilities of the company and is expected to support the continuing growth and expansion of the company.

In Hogla Kimberly (an associated company), a decrease was recorded in the level of profitability in relation to the corresponding period last year as a result of non-recurring expenditures that were related to compensation provided to consumers on account of complaints concerning leaks in a new brand of diapers, coupled with the erosion of prices following the fierce competition that characterizes some of the areas of operations. The company continues to promote special sales campaigns in order to retain customers and market share. In parallel, an increase was reported in the prices of raw materials, that was partially offset by the revaluation of the shekel in relation to the average US dollar during the reported period, as compared with the corresponding period last year, coupled with efficiency measures. These measures provided the company with the necessary flexibility in order to protect and even increase market share and preserve optimized profitability in a competitive business environment. Furthermore, it should be noted that the sector operations in the Turkish market were at equilibrium and even contributed positive cash flows to the sector.

Raw Materials
 
In the course of the first quarter, the NIS was revaluated in relation to the average dollar and the euro, in relation to last year, by a rate of approximately 3.6% and 4.8%, respectively. This revaluation led to savings in terms of inputs and imported products denominated in dollars or euro, in the principal sectors of operation of the company, whose prices track import prices in the said currencies. As a result of the said revaluation, the relative price of natural gas denominated in dollars, decreased by approximately 3.7% in relation to last year and also contributed to savings. These savings were partially offset as a result of the rise in the prices of water during the reported period by an average rate of approximately 24%, in relation to the corresponding period last year, along with the increase in the prices of electricity during the reported period, in relation to the corresponding period last year, by a rate of approximately 6.7%. In addition, a sharp rise was recorded in the price of fibers, by an average rate of approximately 19% in relation to last year.
 
It should be noted that on May 15, 2011, the Company signed an extinction agreement for purchasing natural gas with the partners in the Yam Tethys project. For additional details see Note 8d to the Financial statements dated March 31, 2011.

The developments in global markets, and especially in the euro bloc and in the United States, that also include volatility in local and global securities rates and exchange rates, have and may continue to affect the business results of the Company and its investees, their liquidity, shareholders' equity and assets and the ability to realize these assets, the state of their business (including the demand for the products of the Company's investees), their financial benchmarks and covenants, credit ratings, ability to distribute dividends and even their ability to raise financing for operating activities and long-term activities as well as the financing terms.

The above information - pertaining to the impact of global trends in the paper industry, selling prices and input prices - on the company constitutes forward-looking information as defined in the securities law, based on the company's estimates at the date of this report. These estimates may not materialize - in whole or in part - or may materialize in a different manner, inter alia on account of factors that lie outside the control of the company, such as the crisis in global credit and banking markets, changes in global raw material and energy prices and changes in the supply and demand of global paper products.

As at the date of publication of these financial statements, no material changes have occurred to the Company's risk management policy.

The exchange rate of the NIS in relation to the dollar was revaluated by approximately 1.9% during the reported period, as compared with a revaluation of approximately 1.6% during the reported period last year (the average exchange rate of the NIS vis-à-vis the dollar was revaluated during the reported period by a rate of approximately 3.6% in relation to the corresponding period last year).
 
The changes in exchange rates as mentioned above, affected the results of the various sectors, although the Group's business portfolio, including the investee companies, is practically at equilibrium in terms of foreign currency and consequently, the exposure of the Group to sharp fluctuations in currency exchange rates is low.

The inflation rate during the reported period amounted to 0.7%, as compared with a negative inflation rate of -0.9% in the corresponding period last year.

Explanation of the Results of Operation

 
1.
Analysis of Operations and Profitability
 
The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) No. 8, “Operating Segments”, and has accordingly recognized the packaging and cardboard products segment, which includes the operations of Carmel Container Systems and Frenkel CD, as a separate segment. The Hadera Paper - Writing and Printing Paper segment ("Hadera Paper Printing") - formerly Mondi Hadera Paper was also recognized as an independent segment (starting December 31, 2010 - a consolidated subsidiary). The associated company Hogla Kimberly was also identified as an independent segment (for details, see Note 21 to the financial statements dated December 31, 2010). Please note that the following analysis of financial results relates to the companies that are consolidated in the results of Hadera Paper and is affected by the adoption of the Standard mentioned above.

 
1.1.
Sales
 
Consolidated sales during the reported period amounted to NIS 517.6 million, as compared with NIS 240.0 million last year, representing an increase of 115.7%, originating primarily from growth in the sales of the packaging paper and recycling sector as compared with the corresponding period last year, coupled with the consolidation of the sales of Hadera Paper Printing, starting January 1, 2011, in the total sum of NIS 182.1 million, net of inter-company sales totaling NIS 172.6 million.

The sales of the packaging paper and recycling sector amounted to NIS 176.0 million during the reported period, or NIS 150.8 million net of inter-company sales, as compared with NIS 86.0 million, or NIS 73.5 million net of inter-company sales in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of 105.2%.
 
 
8

 
 
The growth in the sales turnover of the packaging paper and recycling sector originates from quantitative growth in the sales of packaging paper and recycling as a result of the operation of Machine 8, as mentioned above. The growth in the output of Machine 8 served to increase exports to Europe and offered a response for the growth in demand from the domestic market. The growth in sales is also attributed to the rise in selling prices in relation to last year.

The sales of the packaging and cardboard products sector during the reported period amounted to NIS 150.6 million, or NIS 146.1 million net of inter-company sales, as compared with NIS 127.4 million, or NIS 125.4 million net of inter-company sales, in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of approximately 16.5%, originating primarily as a result of the increase in the volume of operations of the companies in this sector.

The sales of the office supplies marketing sector during the reported period, amounted to NIS 48.4 million, or NIS 48.1 million net of inter-company sales, as compared with NIS 41.4 million last year, or NIS 41.1 million net of inter-company sales, representing an increase of 17.0% that originated from the quantitative growth in sales, primarily due to having secured institutional tenders that have expanded the volume of customers and activity in this sector.

 
1.2.
Cost of Sales
 
The cost of sales amounted to NIS 445.7 million – or 86.1% of sales – during the reported period, as compared with NIS 196.6 million – or 81.9% of sales – in the corresponding period last year. The increase in the cost of sales originated primarily from an increase in manufacturing costs (especially energy costs and the use of raw materials, as a result of the operation of Machine 8), coupled with the consolidation of expenses of Hadera Paper Printing, in the total sum of approximately NIS 172.4 million, starting January 1, 2011.

The gross profit totaled NIS 72.0 million during the reported period (13.9% of sales), as compared with NIS 43.4 million (18.1% of sales) last year, representing growth of 65.9% in relation to the corresponding period last year.

The increase in gross profit in relation to the corresponding period last year is primarily attributed to the quantitative growth in sales following the initial recognition of revenues from the sales of Machine 8 in June last year, coupled with the consolidation of the results of Hadera Paper Printing, starting January 1, 2011, which contributed approximately NIS 9.7 million to the gross profit, and from the continuing expansion of operations at the various companies. The growth in gross profit is also attributed to the decrease in prices of some of the raw materials, see Section A2, above.

Labor Wages
 
The labor wages within the cost of sales amounted to NIS 70.7 million during the reported period,13.7% of sales, as compared with NIS 48.4 million last year, 20.2% of sales. The increase in labor expenses in relation to last year originates primarily from the growth in the number of employees as a result of the higher volume of operations, both in the office supplies segment and in the packaging paper and recycling segment, coupled with the consolidation of labor expenses of Hadera Paper Printing, in the amount of approximately NIS 12.4 million, starting January 1, 2011.
 
 
9

 
 
The labor wages within the Selling, General and Administrative expenses amounted to NIS 33.1 million during the reported period, 6.4% of sales, as compared with NIS 26.2 million last year, 10.9% of sales.
 
The increase in the cost of labor in relation to the corresponding period last year, originated primarily as a result of the consolidation of the labor expenses of Hadera Paper Printing, in the sum of approximately NIS 6.3 million, starting January 1, 2011.
 
The sharp drop in the proportion of labor expenses as a percentage of sales is attributed to the significant increase in the volume of operations and sales, primarily at the packaging paper and recycling sector.

 
1.3.
Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses
 
The selling, general and administrative and other expenses (including wages) and other expenses amounted to NIS 18.1 million in the reported period – or 3.5% of sales – as compared with NIS 35.9 million – or 15.0% of sales – in the corresponding period last year. Net of non-recurring revenues during the reported period, as a result of the sale of real estate in the amount of approximately NIS 35.8 million, the selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to NIS 53.9 million, representing approximately 10.4% of sales. The increase in the selling, general and administrative expenses, totaling NIS 18.0 million, in relation to the corresponding period last year, originates primarily from an increase in the selling and transportation expenses as a result of the growth in the volumes of operation on the local market in various sectors as well as opposite export markets of the packaging paper and recycling sector, coupled with the consolidation of the expenses of Hadera Paper Printing, starting January 1, 2011, in the sum of approximately NIS 12.7 million.

 
1.4.
Operating Profit
 
The operating profit totaled NIS 53.8 million during the reported period, 10.4% of sales, as compared with NIS 7.4 million, 3.1% of sales, in the corresponding period last year. The increase in operating profit during the reported period, in relation to the corresponding period last year, is primarily attributed to non-recurring revenues from the sale of real estate, as mentioned in Section 1.3, above, coupled with the significant growth in the gross profit as a result of the said growth in sales, that was offset as a result of the consolidation of the results of the Hadera Paper Printing sector, starting January 1, 2011, due to an operating loss of NIS -3.0 million in this sector.

The operating profit of the packaging paper and recycling segment amounted to NIS 55.8 million in the reported period, as compared with an operating profit of NIS 2.7 million in the corresponding period last year. The results in the reported period included non-recurring revenues totaling NIS 35.8 million, as mentioned above. The sharp growth in operating profit is attributed to the continuing increase in the sales of this segment as a result of the operation of Machine 8, on the one hand, coupled with the improved operational efficiency in relation to the corresponding period last year, when the machine was undergoing its running-in process and its expenditures were capitalized to the machine.
 
 
10

 
 
The operating profit of the packaging and cardboard products segment amounted to NIS 4.0 million in the reported period, as compared with an operating profit of NIS 3.6 million in the corresponding period last year. The increase in the operating profit of this segment is primarily attributed to the improved gross profit as a result of the growth in sales, that was offset by the rising prices of raw materials in relation to the corresponding period last year.
 
The operating loss of the office supplies segment amounted to NIS -2.2 million in the reported period, as compared with an operating profit of NIS 1.5 million in the corresponding period last year. Part of this loss consists of non-recurring expenditures related to double rental fees associated with the anticipated relocation of the company to the logistics center in Modiin, see Section D5, below.

 
1.5.
Financial Expenses
 
The financial expenses during the reported period amounted to NIS 17.4 million, as compared with NIS 0.9 million in the corresponding period last year.

The sharp rise in financial expenses is attributed primarily to the fact that during the corresponding period last year, the cost of financing Machine 8 was capitalized. This capitalization ended in late May 2010. An additional factor consists of expenditures on account of bond series 5, that was issued in May 2010. Moreover, an increase of NIS 3.7 million was recorded in financial expenses in relation to the corresponding period last year, as a result of the higher inflation rate during the reported period, as compared with a lower inflation rate during the corresponding period last year, coupled with the consolidation of the financial expenses of Hadera Paper Printing, starting January 1, 2010, in the sum of NIS 2.9 million.

 
1.6.
Taxes on Income
 
Tax expenditures of NIS 7.4 million were recorded during the reported period, as compared with tax expenditures totaling NIS 1.2 million in the corresponding period last year. The increase in tax expenditures during the reported period in relation to the corresponding period last year is primarily attributed to the recording of tax expenses in the sum of NIS 7.7 million, account of the sale of real estate, as mentioned in Section 1.3, above.

 
1.7.
Company’s Share in Earnings of Associated Companies
 
The companies whose earnings are reported under this item (according to Hadera Paper’s holdings therein), include primarily Hogla Kimberly.
 
The company’s share in the profits of associated companies totaled NIS 11.1 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 19.5 million in the corresponding period last year. The decrease in the earnings of associated companies, compared with the corresponding period last year, is partially attributed to the Company's share in the profits of Hadera Paper Printing (which starting 1, January 2011, is consolidated in the Company's reports), that was included in the corresponding period last year in the amount of approximately NIS 3.2 million.
 
 
11

 
 
The following principal changes were recorded in the Company’s share in the earnings of associated companies, in relation to the corresponding period last year:

 
-
The company's share in the net profit of Hogla Kimberly in Israel (49.9%) during the reported period, amounted to NIS 11.9 million, as compared with NIS 18.8 million in the corresponding period last year. The decrease in the sum of NIS 6.9 million, originated primarily from the decrease in operating profit that fell from NIS 50.4 million to NIS 29.2 million this year. The decrease in the operating profit is primarily attributed to the erosion of selling prices in certain segments of operation as a result of escalating competition in the market, coupled with non-recurring expenditures associated with compensation of consumers on account of complaints related to leaks in a new brand of diapers. These were offset by efficiency measures that were implemented across the company, the lowering of purchasing expenditures in view of the decrease in the average dollar exchange rate by approximately 3.6%, coupled with empowering the company brands. These factors served to reduce the erosion in profit during the reported period.

 
-
The company's share in the losses of KCTR Turkey (49.9%) during the reported period, amounted to NIS 0.8 million, as compared with NIS 1.2 million in the corresponding period last year, representing a decrease of approximately NIS 0.4 million. The reduced loss, despite the slight decrease in the volume of operations, is primarily attributed to the continuing efficiency measures during the reported period, that led to the reduction in the operating loss from NIS 3.2 million in the corresponding period last year, to NIS 0.2 million during the reported period. The improvement in the operating profit was partially offset by the recording of financial expenditures of NIS 1.4 million, as compared with financial revenues of NIS 0.8 million in the corresponding period last year.
 
 
1.8.
The Net Profit and the Earnings Per Share Attributed to the Company's Shareholders
 
The net profit attributed to the Company's shareholders amounted to NIS 41.2 million in the reported period, as compared with net profit of NIS 24.3 million in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of 69.5%. The net profit, net of non-recurring revenues and expenditures during the reported period, amounted to NIS 19.8 million, representing a decrease of 18.6% in relation to the corresponding period last year.

The net profit attributed to the company's shareholders during the reported period was affected by the improvement in the operating margin at most group companies in Israel and in Turkey as a result of the increase in the volume of operations, that brought about an improvement in the operating profit as mentioned above, coupled with non-recurring revenues from the sale of real estate on Totzeret Ha'Aretz Street. In addition the net profit was adversely affected by the increase on the financial expenses in the reported period as compared with the corresponding period last year.
 
 
12

 
 
Basic earnings per share amounted to NIS 8.10 per share ($2.33 per share) in the reported period, as compared with basic earnings per share of NIS 4.80 per share ($1.29 per share) in the corresponding period last year.
Diluted earnings per share amounted to NIS 8.06 per share ($2.31 per share) in the reported period, as compared with NIS 4.75 per share ($1.28 per share) in the corresponding period last year.

Analysis of the Company’s Financial Situation
 
 
·
The cash and cash equivalents item rose from NIS 24.1 million on March 31, 2010, to NIS 153.3 million on March 31, 2011. The growth in cash and cash equivalents is primarily attributed to the issuing of a series of bonds (Series 5) during the second quarter last year, that was invested in shekel-denominated deposits, coupled with cash obtained from the sale of the real estate asset on Totzeret Ha'Aretz Street, in the sum of NIS 56.4 million, coupled with the consolidation of the cash balances of the Hadera Paper Printing segment, in the sum of NIS 27.1 million.

 
·
Designated Deposits in the sum of NIS 86.9 million on March 31, 2010, were utilized entirely in the course of 2010 for payments on account of the construction of Machine 8.

 
·
The increase in the accounts receivable item is attributed to the consolidation of the accounts receivable balances of the Hadera Paper Printing segment, that amounted to approximately NIS 186.2 million as at March 31, 2011. In the packaging paper and recycling sector, an increase was recorded from NIS 90.2 million on March 31, 2010, to NIS 133.7 million on March 31, 2011. This increase is attributed to quantitative growth in activity in both local and export markets, coupled with an increase in selling prices between the two periods. In the packaging and cardboard products sector, an increase was recorded in trade receivables, from NIS 193.1 million on March 31, 2010, to NIS 212.5 million on March 31, 2011, as a result of an increase in sales in this sector, coupled with an increase in the days of credit in some of the segments of operation in the sector. Accounts receivable for the office supplies marketing sector rose from NIS 55.4 million as at March 31, 2010, to NIS 66.0 million, as at March 31, 2011, as a result of the continuing growth in the volume of operations.

 
·
Account receivables relating to the packaging paper and recycling segment decreased from NIS 85.6 million as at March 31, 2010, to NIS 67.6 million as at March 31, 2011. The decrease originates primarily from a reduction in credit/debit balances at the group companies as a result of the consolidation of the Hadera Paper Printing segment on December 31, 2010 and the accounts payable balance that was consolidated as at March 31, 2011 and amounted to NIS 2.1 million. Account receivables relating to the packaging and cardboard products sector increased from NIS 3.1 million as at March 31, 2010, to NIS 3.8 million as at March 31, 2011. Account receivables item at the office supplies marketing segment amounted to NIS 4.3 million and was similar to the amount in the corresponding period last year.
 
 
13

 
 
 
·
The increase in the inventories item originates from the consolidation of the Hadera Paper Printing inventories in the amount of approximately NIS 155.0 million, as at March 31, 2011. Inventories in the packaging paper and recycling sector decreased from NIS 92.3 million as at March 31, 2010, to NIS 74.1 million as at March 31, 2011. This decrease is primarily attributed to utilizing the paper waste inventory as a result of the full operation of the new packaging paper manufacturing machine, following the completion of its running-in period. Inventories of the packaging and cardboard products sector increased from NIS 71.8 million as at March 31, 2010, to NIS 78.2 million as at March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily attributed to the 7% rise in prices of raw materials in relation to last year. Inventories for the office supplies marketing sector rose from NIS 23.5 million as at March 31, 2010, to NIS 27.6 million, as at March 31, 2011, primarily as a result of the continuing growth in the volume of operations.

 
·
The investment in associated companies decreased from NIS 347.2 million on March 31, 2010, to a sum of NIS 232.2 million on March 31, 2011. The principal components of the said decrease, include the consolidation of Hadera Paper Printing for the first time on December 31, 2010, which led to a decrease in investments of NIS 117.6 million, coupled with the company share in the dividend distributed in the amount of NIS 47.1 million from associated companies and the company share in the declared dividend in the sum of NIS 15.0 million by an associated company, that were offset by the company share in the earnings of associated companies in the sum of NIS 72.7 million, between the reported periods, that led to a decrease in investment between the reported periods.

 
·
Short-term credit increased from NIS 88.3 million on March 31, 2010, to NIS 189.0 million on March 31, 2011. The growth in this item originates primarily as a result of the consolidation of the credit balances of Hadera Paper Printing, in the amount of NIS 129.3 million as at March 31, 2011, that were offset as a result of the repayment of credit.

 
·
The growth in the other payables item originates primarily from the consolidation of the Hadera Paper Printing balances, in the amount of NIS 13.9 million, as at March 31, 2011.  The packaging paper and recycling sector recorded a decrease from NIS 107.2 million as at March 31, 2010, to NIS 96.8 million as at March 31, 2011. This decrease is primarily attributed to the decrease in Institutions on account of employees, coupled with expenses to pay. Other accounts payable of the packaging and cardboard products sector increased from NIS 14.9 million as at March 31, 2011, to NIS 17.4 million as at March 31, 2011, primarily as a result of growth in government institutions and other institutions on account of employees. Other accounts payable for the office supplies marketing sector decreased from NIS 5.1 million on March 31, 2010, to NIS 5.0 million on March 31, 2011.

 
·
The company’s shareholders' equity increased from NIS 883.0 million as at March 31, 2010, to NIS 992.5 as at March 31, 2011. This change originated primarily from the net profit attributed to the company's shareholders between the reported periods, in the sum of NIS 117.6 million.

 
3.
Investments in Fixed Assets
 
The investments in fixed assets amounted to NIS 17.9 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 78.2 million in the corresponding period last year.

The long-term liabilities have increased in relation to last year primarily as a result of the issuing of a NIS-denominated bond series (Series 5) in the amount of NIS 181.5 million in the second quarter last year (see Note 10a (4) to the financial statements dated December 31, 2010), coupled with the assumption of long-term loans intended to finance the payments for Machine 8, as well as the consolidation of the  long-term loans of Hadera Paper Printing in the amount of NIS 11.2 million. This increase was offset as a result of the repayment of the older debenture series, coupled with the cash flows from operating activities.

The long-term liabilities include primarily four series of debentures and the following long-term bank loans:
Series 2 – NIS 101.6 million, for repayment until 2013.

·
The net debt as at March 31, 2011, net of the balance of deposits and cash, amounted to NIS 1,004.7 million.

In July 2010 the Supervisor of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings at the Ministry of Finance ("the Supervisor") published a circular which sets forth the Committee's recommendations for establishing parameters for institutional bodies' investments in non-government bonds. The circular, inter alia, includes provisions regarding the formulation of internal policies by institutional bodies prior to investing in bonds, the information required by such bodies to review and monitor investment in bonds, the mechanisms for cooperation between institutional bodies on certain matters relating to investment in bonds, the provisions that should be included in the bond documents as a condition for institutional bodies' investment therein and the requirement of institutional bodies to establish an investment policy (including with respect to rights to call in loans which would be included in the bonds), which addresses contractual criteria for the bonds and their various issuers. Most of the directives of the circular entered into force in October 2010.

The memorandum of the Supervisor and the manner by which the recommendations are adopted as they appear in the report of the Committee, may hold implications on the ability to raise capital from institutional entities by way of bonds, including the terms and the price of raising such capital. As at the date of the reports the company is yet unable to identify these influences.

Financial liabilities at fair value through the statement of income

Put Option to a Shareholder at a Consolidated Company

For information pertaining to the Put option, see Note 17a to the annual financial statements dated December 31, 2010.

Liabilities on account of the Put option to a shareholder at an associated company (investee until December 31, 2010), as at  March 31, 2011 and as at March 31, 2010 and as at December 31, 2010, is presented in the sum of NIS 31.1 million, NIS 11.3 million and NIS 31.5 million, respectively.
 
On account of the Put option, an associated company recorded financial revenues of NIS 0.4 million during the reported period, as compared with other revenues of NIS 0.7 million in the corresponding period last year.

The principal factors responsible for the change originated as a result of an agreement signed by the company for the acquisition of 25.1% of the shares of the associated company ("Transaction Agreement") determining economic calculation of the value of the option and its blocking for three years (as at March 31, 2011, the option is blocked for two years and nine months).

Liquidity

Cash Flows

The cash flows from operating activities totaled NIS 39.4 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 38.8 million in the corresponding period last year. The increase in the cash flows from operating activities during the reported period, as compared with the corresponding period last year, is primarily attributed to the increase in profit, that was offset as a result of the increase in working capital during the reported period, that amounted to NIS 9.9 million, as compared with an increase of NIS 3.6 million in the corresponding period last year, along with the company's share in dividends from associated companies. The increase in working capital during the reported period originated primarily from the growth in accounts receivable balances as a result of the growth in the volume of operations. This growth was partially offset by the growth in accounts payable balances.

Details of Operations in the Various Sectors

 
1.
Hogla-Kimberly (Household Products)
 
The sales turnover of Hogla-Kimberly Israel amounted to approximately NIS 304.3 million in the reported period, as compared with approximately NIS 312.2 million in the corresponding period last year, representing a decrease of 2.5%.
 
The decrease in sales in relation to the corresponding period last year is primarily attributed to the erosion of prices as a result of the continuing trend of escalating competition in the market.
 
 
16

 

The operating profit of Hogla-Kimberly Israel amounted to approximately NIS 29.2 million in the reported period, as compared with approximately NIS 50.4 million in the corresponding period last year, representing a decrease of approximately 42.1%.
 
The decrease in the operating profit in relation to the preceding year is attributed to the erosion of prices as a result of the escalating competition in the market, coupled with the rise in the prices of the principal raw materials, that was partially offset by efficiency measures that were implemented by the company, as well as by the decrease in the average US dollar exchange rate vis-à-vis the NIS, by a rate of approximately 3.6%, in relation to the corresponding period last year. Moreover, a decrease was recorded in the operating profit during the reported period, in relation to the corresponding period last year, as a result of expenditures associated with compensation provided to consumers, on account of complaints regarding leaks in a new brand of diapers.

The sales turnover of KCTR, Hogla-Kimberly’s subsidiary operating in Turkey, amounted to approximately NIS 122.8 million (approximately $34 million) in the reported period, as compared with approximately NIS 131.3 million (approximately $35.4 million) in the corresponding period last year.
 
KCTR’s strategic cooperation agreement with Unilever, under which Unilever carries out the selling, distribution and collection activities nationwide, with the exception of retail chains to which KCTR continues to sell independently, continues to expand the customer base in the reported period and to bring about the enhancement of the Huggies and Kotex brands. The operating loss of KCTR for the reported period amounted to NIS 0.2 million, as compared with NIS 3.2 million in the corresponding period last year. KCTR enjoys positive cash flows from operating activities.

in addition, it should be noted that toward the end of 2009, the Turkish tax authorities addressed KCTR as part of the examination of its financial statements for the years 2004-2008, conducted at KCTR on account of the taxation of the influx of capital from Hogla Kimberly Ltd. to KCTR. KCTR estimates, on the basis of the opinion of its legal and tax consultants, that the probability that it will be liable for an additional tax payment is low (See also Note 14i to the financial statements dated March 31, 2011).

 
2.
Hadera Paper - Printing and Writing Paper (Formerly Mondi Hadera Paper)
 
The sales of fine paper amounted to 45.3 thousand tons during the reported period, as compared with 45.4 thousand tons during the corresponding period last year and as compared with 41.9 thousand tons in the fourth quarter last year, representing an increase of 8.1%.
 
The sales turnover of Hadera Paper Printing amounted to NIS 182.1 million in the reported period, as compared with NIS 172.7 million in the corresponding period last year (5.4% increase) and as compared with NIS 175.2 million in the fourth quarter last year (3.9% increase).
 
The growth in sales during the reported period, in relation to the corresponding period last year, originated primarily as a result of the 6.2% increase in selling prices, that were offset as a result of the revaluation of the shekel vis-à-vis the dollar, that led to escalating competition on the part of low-priced imports, coupled with the lowering of the selling prices on the domestic market during the reported period.

Moreover, the prices of pulp (a principal raw material traded in US dollars), that rose by 12.1% (in NIS terms) in relation to the corresponding period last year, and decreased by 0.6% in relation to the fourth quarter last year, also served to negatively impact the business results of Hadera Paper Printing during the reported period, despite the strengthening  of the NIS vis-à-vis the dollar by 1.9% during the reported period.

The operating loss of Hadera Paper Printing amounted to NIS 3 million during the reported period, as compared with operating profit of NIS 8.6 million in the corresponding period last year and as compared with operating profit of NIS 0.5 million in the fourth quarter last year.

The transition to an operating loss in relation to the corresponding period last year, is attributed to the trend of prices described above, the lower efficiency of the manufacture of paper during the reported period that was caused by several factors related to the quality of raw materials and other technical malfunctions, as well as a result of non-recurring expenditures associated with the relocation to the new logistics center - with the aim of providing optimal customer service during the transition period, so as to shorten the learning curve. Toward the end of the reported period and true to the date of publication of this report, a significant improvement was recorded in manufacturing efficiency. Moreover, the logistics center has started to service customers at a level that exceeds the level of service provided prior to the relocation.

Carmel Container Systems - Packaging and Cardboard Products
 
The aggregate sales turnover of Carmel, including the sales of Frenkel CD, amounted to NIS 150.6 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 127.4 million, representing an increase of 18.2%.
 
During the reported period, the consolidated sales turnover of Carmel Container Systems Ltd. amounted to NIS 121.2 million, as compared with NIS 100.5 million in the corresponding quarter last year, representing an increase of 20.6%.
 
The increase in the sales turnover is attributed to quantitative growth, coupled with an increase in selling prices. Furthermore, growth was recorded in the sales turnover of the TriWall subsidiary.

The consolidated operating profit of Carmel amounted to NIS 3.0 million in the reported period, as compared with an operating profit of NIS 2.7 million in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of 11.1%. The increase in the operating profit of Carmel is attributed to the quantitative growth, coupled with a sharp rise in selling prices as mentioned above, that was mostly offset by the sharp rise in the prices of inputs.

The aggregate operating profit of Carmel (including Frenkel CD) amounted to NIS 4.0 million in the reported period, as compared with an operating profit of NIS 3.5 million in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of 14.3%.

 
4.
Packaging Paper and Recycling
 
The sales turnover of the Packaging Paper and Recycling Division amounted to NIS 176.0 million in the reported period, as compared with NIS 86.0 million in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of approximately 104.7% (the sales during the corresponding period last year appear subsequent to the capitalization of NIS 24 million in sales, as part of the running-in process of the Machine 8 project).
 
 
18

 
 
The quantitative sales of packaging paper amounted to 75.7 thousand tons during the reported period, as compared with 50.5 thousand tons in the corresponding period last year. A quantity of 19.2 thousand tons were capitalized toward the running-in of Machine 8, out of the sales last year.
 
The sales of paper and cardboard waste by Amnir amounted to 101.5 thousand tons during the reported period, as compared with 77.9 thousand tons in the corresponding period last year.

The sharp increase in the sales turnover originated for the most part from the quantitative increase in sales, of both packaging paper and at Amnir, coupled with the rise in the selling prices between the reported periods. This increase was offset by the lower average dollar exchange rate between the two reported periods that affects a large part of the export sales.

The division concluded the reported period with an operating profit of approximately NIS 14.4 million, as compared with an operating profit of NIS 3.9 million in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of 269.2%.

The improvement in the operating profit during the reported period, as compared with the corresponding period last year, originated primarily from the quantitative increase in sales, coupled with the improved selling prices as mentioned above. The higher profit was achieved despite the rise in the various input prices, as a result of the significant improvement in operational efficiency, as evidenced by to improvement recorded in the various manufacturing indexes at the division.

 
5.
Graffiti - Office Supplies Marketing
 
Graffiti's sales turnover during the reported period amounted to NIS 48.4 million, as compared with NIS 41.4 million in the corresponding period last year, representing an increase of 16.9%.

During the reported period, Graffiti recorded an operating loss of NIS 2.2 million, as compared with an operating profit of NIS 1.5 million in the corresponding period last year, representing a decrease of 246.7%.
 
The decrease in the operating profit during the reported period is primarily attributed to the eroded profitability as a result of a significant rise in commodity prices, accompanied by a delay in adjusting customer selling prices, coupled with the sharp rise in transportation costs as a result of the rise in fuel prices between the reported periods. Moreover, labor expenses increased by a sum of approximately NIS 1.9 million, due to the growth in the sales turnover that was accompanied by a parallel increase in variable expenses, along with a significant increase in personnel due to the company's preparations for the relocation to the logistics center in Modiin. Furthermore, double expenses of NIS 0.8 million were recorded during the reported period on account of rental fees and maintenance expenses associated with the company's preparations for the relocation to the logistics center in Modiin.

Graffiti intends to relocate to the Logistics Center in Modiin in the course of the third quarter of 2011. Graffiti is currently testing the logistic systems and supporting information systems (WMS), that will serve as a platform for accelerating growth and profit, while improving customer service.

Exposure and Management of Market Risks

 
1.
General
 
The Company conducts periodical discussions regarding market risks and exposure to exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, with the participation of the relevant elements, so as to reach decisions in this matter. The individual responsible for the implementation of market risk management policy at the Company is Shaul Glicksberg, the Group's VP of Finance and Business Development.

 
2.
Market Risks to which the Company is Exposed
 
Description of Market Risks

The market risks reflect the risk of changes in the value of financial instruments affected by changes in the interest rate, in the Consumer Price Index and in foreign currency exchange rates.

Exchange Rate Risks

Approximately half of the Company’s sales are denominated in US dollars, whereas a significant share of its expenses and liabilities are in NIS. The Company is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the NIS vis-à-vis the US dollar. This exposure includes economic exposure (on account of surplus proceeds over payments in foreign currency or linked thereto) and accounting exposure (on account of a surplus of dollar-linked assets over foreign-currency-denominated liabilities).
 
The Company reexamines from time to time the need for hedging on account of these exposures. It should be noted that on the aggregate level that includes associated companies, the currency exposure is limited.

Consumer Price Index Risks

The Company is exposed to changes in the Consumer Price Index, pertaining to the debentures issued by the Company and to net long-term loans, in the total sum of NIS 310.9 million.

The company continues to regularly monitor quoted prices for hedging its exposure and in the event that these will be reasonable, the company will enter into the relevant hedging transactions.

Credit Risks

Most of the Group’s sales are made in Israel to a large number of customers and the exposure to customer-related credit risks is consequently generally limited. The Group regularly analyzes – through credit committees that operate within the various companies – the quality of the customers, their credit limits and the relevant collateral required, as the case may be. The Group also makes use of credit insurance services at some of the Group companies, as needed.
 
The financial statements include provisions for doubtful debts, based on the existing risks on the date of the statements.

The Company chose not to include in its articles of association the provision with regard to the percentage of external board members.

 
2.
Internal Auditing - SOX
 
By virtue of being a company whose shares are publicly traded in the United States, the company is subject to "Sarbanes Oxley" (SOX) in its entirety, including Section 302 (proper disclosure and evaluation of controls in the organization), Section 404 (Management Assessment of Internal Controls) and Section 906 (Criminal responsibility for breach of this section). The main points of the law have to do with increasing reporting and disclosure, the authorities and duties of the Audit Committee, manager responsibilities, enforcement, sanctions and penalties and increasing the independence from external accountants. The controls instigated by the company for the implementation of the law are regularly inspected by the company's auditing team and by the external accountant. Since 2007, with the introduction of the directives of the said law in the United States, the company is complying with the demands of the law.
 
We note that on February 16, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) authorized the company's requests that its reports regarding the effectiveness of internal control be made in the format prescribed by law, by virtue of its being listed for trade on AMEX, i.e.- the SOX regulations in the United States that apply to the company as mentioned above, subject to the company having undertaken to examine, once every quarter, its compliance with the terms described in its application to the SEC, including any change in the directives of the law in Israel and in the United States, in the status of the company as it relates to these laws, changes in the implementation of the SOX regulations and any other change that may affect the disclosure provided by the company.

6.
In the course of the meeting, the committee examined the material issues related to the financial statements, the crucial estimates and critical valuations implemented in the financial statements, the plausibility of the data, the accounting policy that was implemented and changes therein, and the implementation of the proper disclosure principal in the financial statements and regarding any accompanying information.
 
The Committee also examined various aspects of control and risk assessment reflected in the financial statements (such as reporting of financial risks), as well as those affecting the reliability of the financial statements.

Upon completion of the discussion of data presented, the committee handed down its recommendations to the Board of Directors of the company, regarding the ratification of the financial statements.
 
 
7.
The said recommendations were forwarded to the members of the Board of Directors 11 days before the date that was set for the discussion and ratification of the financial statements.
 
 
8.
The Board of Directors of the company believes that the recommendations of the committee were transferred to it within a reasonable time, and perhaps even more so, prior to the discussion by the Board of Directors, taking into consideration the scope and complexity of the issues to be discussed in the recommendations. The Board of Directors of the company has accepted the recommendations of the balance sheet and object committee regarding the approval of the financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2011
 
NOTE 1  -          DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GENERAL
 
 
A.
Description Of Business
 
Hadera Paper Limited (former - American Israeli Paper Mills Limited) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter – the Company) are engaged in the production and sale of paper packaging, in paper recycling activities, in the production and sale of printing and writing paper, in the production of cardboard and packaging products and in the marketing of office supplies. The Company also has holdings in associated companies that are engaged in sale of household paper products and the handling of solid waste (the Company and its investee companies – hereinafter – the Group). Most of the Group's sales are made on the local (Israeli) market. For segment information, see note 7.

 
B.
For further information read these concise reports in connection with the Company's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and the year then ended, and the accompanying notes.

NOTE 2  -          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
A.
Basis of preparation
 
The consolidated concise financial statements (hereinafter – "interim financial statements") of the Group were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Financial Reporting for Interim Periods" (hereinafter – IAS 34).
 
In the preparation of these interim financial statements the Group applied identical accounting policy, presentation rules and calculation methods to those that were applied in the preparation of its financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and the year then ended, except for changes in the accounting policy that arose from the implementation of standards, amendment to standards and new interpretations that became effective on the date of the financial statements as specified in Sections c, d and note 3 below.

 
B.
The consolidated concise financial statements were prepared in accordance with the disclosure provisions of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

 
C.
Measuring fair value of investment property in the interim financial statements

The Company bases its measurement of the fair value of investment property on a valuation that is performed annually by an independent appraiser. In addition, at every interim reporting date, the Company reviews the need to update the fair value of its investment property relative to the fair value that was determined on the last valuation date, in order to assess whether this is a reliable estimate of the fair value as of the interim reporting date. This assessment is made by reviewing changes in the relevant real estate market, in the property's lease contracts and in the macroeconomic environment of the property, as well as new information on material transactions that were made in the environment of the property and similar assets, which might indicate changes in the fair value of the property. If, in the Company's opinion, there are indicators, that the fair value at the interim reporting period is materially different than the fair value measured on the last valuation date, with respect to certain properties, the Company measures the fair value of these properties as of the interim reporting date, by using an external appraiser.
 
As of March 31, 2011, the Company considered whether indicators existed that the fair value of the investment property is materially different than the value measured by an external appraiser on September 30, 2010. In the Company's opinion, no significant changes occurred in the value of the property since the last valuation date.

Taxes on income in the interim financial statements

Tax expenses (income) in the relevant periods include total current taxes as well as changes in deferred tax balances, except for deferred taxes arising from transactions carried directly to equity, and business combination transactions.

Current tax expenses (income) in the interim periods are accrued using the average annual effective income tax rate. To calculate the effective income tax rate, losses for tax purposes in respect of which deferred tax assets were not recognized are deducted, which is expected to reduce the tax liability in the reporting year

A.
New standards and interpretations that are effective and that do not have a material effect on the reporting period and/or previous reporting periods: (cont.)
 
 
§
IAS 34 Revised "Interim Financial Reporting"
 
The amendment emphasizes the principles laid out in IAS 34 that the purpose of the information presented in the interim financial statements regarding events and transactions which are essential in understanding changes in the financial position and in the entity's performance since the last annual reporting date, is to update the information relating thereto in the last annual financial statements. In addition, the amendment clarifies the implementation of this principle with respect to financial instruments, and certain disclosure requirements have been added. The Amendment is implemented retroactively for annual accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2011.
 
For information regarding the standards, interpretations and amendments to the standards set forth below, see notes 3b and 3c to the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 
§
Amendment to IFRS 3 (Revised) "Business Combinations" (regarding measurement of non-controlling interests).

 
§
Amendment to IAS27 (Revised) "Consolidated and Separated Financial Statements".

 
§
Amendment to IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure" (regarding the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments).
 
 
B.
New Standards and Interpretations that have been Published but not yet Become Effective, and have not been Adopted by the Group in Early Adoption, which expected or may have an impact on future periods:

 
§
Amendment to IAS 12 "Taxes on Income"
 
Within the framework of the amendment, it was stipulated that investment property measured at fair value according to IAS 40, will be considered as assets whose carrying amount will be recovered through sale. Accordingly, deferred taxes will be computed in accordance with the tax bases and rates applicable as at the sale of the asset. The presumption can be rebutted if the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits over time, not through sale but by way of use. The effective date of the amendments is for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company's management estimates that the effect of implementing the Amendment on its financial position and results of operations is not expected to be significant.

On January 30, 2011 the Ministry for the Protection of the Environment (hereinafter: "the Ministry") held a hearing for the Company regarding suspicion of pollution of water by discharging low quality waste water into the Hadera Stream. During the hearing the positions of the Ministry and of the Company were heard. The Company presented its position that the decline in the quality of the treated waste water was the result of the use of a new raw material. Upon discovery of the source of the problem, the Company ceased the use of that raw material. The Company works in full transparency opposite the authorities, and was in fact even the one who reported to representatives of the Ministry regarding this harm to the quality of the waste water.
 
On February 8, 2011 the Company received the summary of the hearing in which it was found, inter alia, that the Company had a duty to improve the quality of the waste water, and a duty of reporting weekly to the Ministry regarding the quality of the treated waste water. The Ministry further noted in this summary that if the Company does not fulfill the values prescribed in the permit order for discharge into the Hadera River given on August 11, 2010 within one month from the date of the hearing, the Ministry’s Director of the Haifa District will issue, under his authority, an order to cease operations of Machine 8 which the Company operates, without requiring any advance warnings or additional hearings.

On February 16, 2010, KCTR received a tax inspection report, following the aforementioned inspection, according to which KCTR is required to an additional tax payment for two matters audited, as detailed below, on the total amount of 153 million YTL (approximately 102 million USD) including interest and penalty.
 
Regarding the first matter (stamp tax), KCTR, paid YTL 264 thousands, (approximately USD 106 thousands) in July 2010.
 
Regarding the second matter, which is the essential part of the tax demand (tax on capital injection from Hogla- Kimberly to KCTR), KCTR, based on its tax consultant opinion, estimates that the likelihood that it will be demanded for the additional tax payment, is rather low, and therefore it has not provided a provision at its Financial Reports for March 31, 2011, with regards to this matter.
 
Also note that KCTR, based on the opinion of its tax consultants in Turkey, appealed, during 2010, to the Court the demand by the Tax Authority with regard to the second matter. As of the date of these financial statements, the proceedings are on-going at the first instance of the Turkish Court system.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2011
 
NOTE 8   -            SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
 
a.
On April 26, 2011, a consolidated company declared a dividend in the amount of NIS 10 million, out of retained earnings. This dividend is payable until the end of the third quarter of 2011.

 
b.
On May 2, 2011 petition was filed against Hogla-Kimberly Ltd an associated company, for the approval of a class action. According to the petition, the plaintiff claimed that Huggies diapers, marketed by Hogla-Kimberly Ltd, which she purchased, did not absorb as was expected due to a fault in the diapers production line. The plaintiff estimates the scope of the class action to be approximately NIS 1.2 billion.
 
At this early stage, Hogla-Kimberly Ltd announced that it is studying the claim, and is not able to assess the chances of the class action and its influences.
 
 
c.
On May 3, 2011 a foreign shareholder exercised the option granted to him in his investment in BondX from February 2, 2011, and he acquired 13,781 preferred stock A of BondX for consideration of USD 500 thousand. BondX is engaged in research and development of Bonder, a biological material intended to provide improved strength and water-resistance features to packaging paper. As of the approval date of the financial statements, the Company holds 14.69% (or 13.70% fully diluted) of BondX shares.
 
 
d.
On May 15, 2011 the company announced that an agreement for purchase of natural gas was signed between the company and the partners in the Yam Tethys projects ("The Agreement"). Pursuant to the agreement, the term of the agreement signed between the companies on July 29, 2005 for the purchase of natural gas ("The Original Agreement"), will be extended by an additional 2 years, until June 30, 2013.
 
The formula for the price of gas set in the agreement is based on the price of petroleum (Brent barrel) and includes a minimum price for the price of gas. It should be noted, that following the sharp rise in fuel prices that took place since the signing of the original agreement, the price of gas in the agreement is significantly higher than the maximum price that was set in the original agreement.
 
This fact could potentially have an impact on the price of gas for the company, as compared with the cost according to the original agreement, by an additional sum of approximately $19.4 million per annum (according to the calculation of the formula at the date of signing the agreement, in terms of gross cost, prior to tax shield). The Company is preparing for a cost-cutting and efficiency plan accordingly. The actual cost of the gas is dependent upon numerous factors, primarily changes in global petroleum prices. The remaining terms of the original agreement would remain in force, with the necessary changes.
 
The overall financial volume of the agreement is currently estimated at approximately $63 million (according to the calculation of the formula at the date of signing the agreement). It should be clarified that the actual volume may change over time as a result of changes in global petroleum prices.
 
NOTE 9  -              RECLASSIFICATION
 
The Group reclassified an amount of NIS 26,559 thousand from Deferred tax assets to Deferred tax liabilities in the comparative figures as at March 31, 2010. The re-classification is due to offset of deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, under the terms of offset, in IAS12.

On May 2, 2011 petition was filed against Hogla-Kimberly Ltd an associated company, for the approval of a class action. According to the petition, the plaintiff claimed that Huggies diapers, marketed by Hogla-Kimberly Ltd, which she purchased, did not absorb as was expected due to a fault in the diapers production line. The plaintiff estimates the scope of the class action to be approximately NIS 1.2 billion.
 
At this early stage, Hogla-Kimberly Ltd announced that it is studying the claim, and is not able to assess the chances of the class action and its influences.

Report on review of interim Financial Information to the shareholders of Hogla-Kimberly Ltd.
 
Introduction
 
We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Interim Consolidated statement of financial position of Hogla Kimberly LTD. ("the Company") as of March 31, 2011 and the related Condensed Interim Consolidated statements of income, statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months period then ended. The board of directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review
 
We conducted our review in accordance with review standard No. 1, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Company". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with accepted auditing standards in Israel, and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
 
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 1c to the financial statements with regards to including summary of significant accounting policy and attaching the company's financial statements to a related party's financial statements.

Applying International Accounting Standards (IFRS)
 
Basis of preparation
 
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting".

 
B.
Basis of preparation
 
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:

Basis of preparation (Cont.)
 
 
·
Assets and liabilities measured by fair value and derivative financial instruments.

 
·
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 2Q.

 
C.
Foreign currencies
 
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.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s 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 in which they occur except for:

 
·
Exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.
 
 
·
Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognized in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognized in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations 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.

D.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits, available for immediate withdrawal, as well as unrestricted short-term deposits with maturities of less than three months from the date of deposit.

 
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.

 
F.
Goodwill
 
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

 
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.

G.
Property, plant and equipment (Cont.)
 
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 asset's 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.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method at rates considered adequate to depreciate the assets over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed over the shorter of the term of the lease, including any option period, where the Company intends to exercise such option, or their useful life.
 
The annual depreciation and amortization rates are:

 
%
   
Buildings
2-4
Leasehold improvements
10-25
Machinery and equipment
5-10
Motor vehicles
15-20
Office furniture and equipment
6-33

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 the income statement.

 
H.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill
 
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

H.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill (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 (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

 
I.
Inventories
 
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 releasable 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 releasable 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.

Cost determined as follows:
 
Manufactured finished products
Based on standard cost method
Purchased finished goods raw, auxiliary materials and other
Based on moving-average basis.

Inventories that are 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.

 
J.
Financial assets
 
(1)       General
 
Investments are recognised and derecognised 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

J.
Financial assets (Cont.)
 
 
(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)
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.

For all other financial assets, 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 financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

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.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

K.
Other financial liabilities
 
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis.
 
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.

 
L.
Provisions
 
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.
 
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.

 
M.
Derivative financial instruments
 
(1)       General
 
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk, including foreign exchange forward contracts.

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.

M.
Derivative financial instruments (Cont.)
 
(2)       Hedge accounting
 
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.

Cash flow hedges
 
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred in equity. 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 equity at that time remains in equity 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.

 
N.
Revenue recognition
 
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.

(1)       Sale of goods
 
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;

·
It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and
 
 
·
The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

(2)       Interest revenue
 
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 asset’s net carrying amount.

 
O.
Taxation
 
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

(1)       Current tax
 
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 Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

(2)       Deferred tax
 
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.

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.

O.
Taxation (Cont.)
 
(2)       Deferred tax (Cont.)
 
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.

(3)       Current and deferred tax for the period
 
Current and deferred tax are recognized as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognized directly in equity, or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or in determining the excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the business combination.

 
P.
Prepaid expenses of operating lease
 
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. the Company's lands in Afula which were leased from the Israel Land Administration, shall be presented in the Company's balance sheet as prepaid expenses for operating lease in respect of lease, and amortized over the remaining period of the lease.

 
Q.
Employee benefits
 
 
(1)
Post-Employment Benefits
 
The Group's post-employment benefits include: benefits to retirees and liabilities for severance benefits. The Group's post-employment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Most of the Group's employees are covered by Article 14 to the Severance Law and therefore the Group's companies makes regular deposits (contributions) in the name of their employees and do not have an obligation to pay further contributions. The Group's deposits under the Defined Contribution Plan are carried to the income statements on the date of the provision of work services, in respect of which the Group is obligated to make the deposit and no additional provision in the financial statements is required.

Employee benefits (Cont.)
 
 
(1)
Post-Employment Benefits (Cont.)
 
Expenses in respect of a Defined Benefit Plan are carried to the income statement in accordance with the Projected Unit Credit Method, while using actuarial estimates that are performed at each balance sheet date. The current value of the Group's obligation in respect of the defined benefit plan is determined by discounting the future projected cash flows from the plan by the market yields on government bonds, denominated in the currency in which the benefits in respect of the plan will be paid, and whose redemption periods are approximately identical to the projected settlement dates of the plan.

Actuarial profits and losses are carried to the income statements on the date they were incurred. The Past Service Cost is immediately recognized in the Group's income statement to the extent the benefit has vested. A past service cost which has not yet vested is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average vesting period until the benefit becomes vested.

The Group's liability in respect of the Defined Benefit Plan which is presented in the Group's balance sheet, includes the current value of the obligation in respect of the defined benefit, with the addition (net of) actuarial past service cost that was not yet recognized. A net plan, which is created from said calculation, is limited to the amount of the actuarial losses and past service cost that were not yet recognized with the addition of the current value of available economic benefits in the shape of returns from the plan or in the shape of reduction in future contributions to the plan.

IFRS 2
 
The amendments clarify the scope of IFRS 2, as well as the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the separate (or individual) financial statements of an entity receiving the goods or services when another group entity or shareholder has the obligation to settle the award.

IFRS 7 - Disclosures of Financial Instruments
 
The amendments to IFRS 7 clarify the required level of disclosures about credit risk and collateral held and provide relief from disclosures previously required regarding renegotiated loans. The Group has applied the amendments in advance of their effective date (annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011).

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”
 
The new Standard provides for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. In accordance with the Standard, all financial assets are to be treated as follows:
 
 
·
Debt instruments will be classified and measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss.  The mode of measurement will be determined based on the entity’s business model for managing financial assets and in accordance with the characteristics of the contractual cash flows deriving from such financial assets.
 
·
A debt instrument which, according to the criteria, is measured at amortized cost may only be designated at fair value through profit or loss if such designation eliminates inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement that would have arose had the asset been measured at amortized cost.

·
Equity instruments will be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 
·
Equity instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss, with any gains or losses being recognized in other comprehensive income.  Instruments that have been designated as aforesaid will cease to be tested for impairment and any related gain or loss will not be recognized in profit or loss, including in the event of disposal.

 
·
Embedded derivatives in financial assets will not be separated from the host contract.  Instead, hybrid contracts will be measured as a whole at amortized cost or at fair value, in accordance with the business model and the contractual cash flows criteria.

 
·
Debt instruments will be reclassified from amortized cost to fair value and vice versa only if the entity changes its business model for managing financial assets.

 
·
Investments in equity instruments that are not quoted on an active market, including derivatives on such assets, will be measured solely at fair value. The alternative measurement at cost under certain circumstances has been eliminated. Nevertheless, the Standard determines that, under limited circumstances, cost may be an appropriate estimate of fair value.
 
The Standard also prescribes the following provisions with respect to financial liabilities:

 
·
The change in the fair value of a financial liability that is designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition, which is attributed to changes in the credit risk of the liability, is recognized directly in other comprehensive income, unless such recognition gives rise to or increases accounting disparity.
 
 
·
Upon the repayment or settlement of a financial liability, the amount of the fair value recognized in other comprehensive income will not be classified to profit or loss.

NOTE 3   -       CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

 
A.
General
 
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 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.

NOTE 3-        CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Cont.)

 
B.
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 entity’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in financial statements.

Revenue recognition
 
In making their judgment, the management considered the detailed criteria for the recognition of revenue from the sale of goods set out in IAS 18 Revenue and, in particular, whether the Group had transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. Following the detailed quantification of the Group’s liability in respect of rectification work, and the agreed limitation on the customer’s ability to require further work or to require replacement of the goods, the management is satisfied that the significant risks and rewards have been transferred and that recognition of the revenue in the current year is appropriate, in conjunction with the recognition of an appropriate provision for the rectification costs.

Impairment of goodwill
 
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
 
The carrying amount of goodwill at the balance sheet date was NIS 16.8 million.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
 
As described at 2G above, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period.
 
Contingent liabilities
 
As of  March 31, 2011 the company has a legal dispute with the tax authorities in Turkey regarding tax inspection that was performed during 2009. (see note 4D)
 
According to the tax report the company need to pay additional tax and penalties  in the amount of 90 million Dollar. The company's management , based on the legal advisors, estimates that the possibility of a negative cash flow is not probable therefore did not provide any provisions.

C.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
 
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Employee retirement benefits
 
The present value of the employee retirement benefits is based on an actuarial valuation using many assumptions inter alia the capitalization rate. Changes in the assumptions may influence the book value of the liabilities for retirement benefits.  The Company determines the capitalization rate once a year based on the basis of the capitalization rate of government bonds. Other key assumptions are based on the current prevailing terms in the market and the past experience of the Company (see also note 10).

Regarding the second matter, which is the essential part of the tax demand (tax on capital injection from Hogla- Kimberly to KCTR), KCTR, based on its tax consultant opinion, estimates that the likelihood that it will be demanded for the additional tax payment in this matter, is not probable, and therefore it will not provide a provision at Its Financial Reports for March 31, 2011.
