The current lack of comparable market evidence relating to pricing assumptions and market drivers means that there is less certainty<br />

regarding valuations and the assumptions applied to valuation inputs.<br />

The period of time needed to negotiate a sale in this environment may also be significantly prolonged. The fair value of investment<br />

property has been adjusted to reflect market conditions at the end of the <strong>report</strong>ing period. While this represents the best estimates<br />

of fair value as at the balance sheet date, the current market uncertainty means that if investment property is sold in future the price<br />

achieved may be higher or lower than the most recent valuation, or higher or lower than the fair value recorded in the financial statements.<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets<br />

The fair value of held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted closing<br />

bid price at the <strong>report</strong>ing date. The fair value of held-to-maturity investments is determined for disclosure purposes only. Fair value<br />

which is determined for disclosure purposes is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows,<br />

discounted at the market rate of interest at the <strong>report</strong>ing date.<br />

Non-derivative financial liabilities<br />

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash<br />

flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the <strong>report</strong>ing date.<br />

Structured deposit B at fair value through profit or loss (refer to note 11)<br />

The fair value of structured deposit B is based on broker quote. This quote is tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future<br />

cash flows based on the terms and maturity of the contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement<br />

date. The test is being done by using yield analysis for structured model.<br />

Forward transactions<br />

The fair value of forwards transaction is based on bank quotes received. Those quotes are tested by an external, independent valuation<br />

company, having appropriate recognized qualifications and recent experience in the field of the financial instruments being valued,<br />

which estimated the fair value by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for<br />

the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate.<br />

Swap transactions<br />

Fair values of the swaps may be determined in whole or in part using valuation techniques based on assumptions that are not supported<br />

by prices from current market transactions or observable market data, where current prices or observable market data are not available.<br />

Factors such as bid-offer spread, credit profile collateral requirements and model uncertainty are taken into account, as appropriate,<br />

when fair values are calculated using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques incorporate assumptions that other market participants<br />

would use in their valuations, including assumptions about interest rate yield curves, and exchange rates.<br />

Long-term debentures at fair value through profit or loss<br />

The fair value of long-term debentures is principally determined with reference to an active market price quotation, as the debentures<br />

are traded in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) using the valuation technique. The quoted market prices of debentures Series B was<br />

0.679 as opposed to 0.852 using the valuation technique.<br />

Share-based payments transactions<br />

The fair value of employee share options is measured using a binomial lattice model. Measurement inputs include share price on<br />

measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for<br />

changes expected due to publicly available information and the tendency of volatility to revert to its mean and other factors indicating<br />

that expected future volatility might defer from past volatility), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical<br />

experience and general option holder behavior), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).<br />

Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.<br />
