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 />
