Cash and cash equivalents
 
   485,213
 
   508,181
 
Most of the decrease stems from current debt payments, in the amount of about NIS 117 million, a net decrease in cash balances of Hadera, in the amount of about NIS 90 million, due to additional investments in construction of the Hadera Power Plant, distribution of a dividend to the holders of non‑controlling interests, in the amount of about NIS 21 million, investments in property, plant and equipment in Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 11 million, a decrease in the net cash due to the acquisition of Tzomet, in the amount of about NIS 8 million, a net deposit in restricted cash, in the amount of about NIS 4 million, an investment in the Tzomet project, in the amount of about NIS 2 million.

Long-term deposits and restricted cash
 
   272,864

Most of the increase stems from additional deposits, in the amount of about NIS 25 million, in the debt service fund for the debentures (Series A), additional deposits in respect of guarantees of Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 10 million, and an increase of the restricted cash in Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 9 million, mainly as a result of changes in the exchange rate of the dollar, and a deposit in the debt service reserve in Rotem.

Long-term loans and prepaid expenses
 
   115,899
 
   100,356
 
Most of the increase is due to construction of infrastructures in Hadera in the amount of NIS 20 million, which are classified as long‑term prepaid expenses. The increase was partially offset, as the balance as of December 31, 2017 included an amount in connection with Tzomet that was offset due to the initial consolidation of Tzomet in March 2018. In addition, the balance as at June 30, 2018 is after current amortization of deferred expenses in Rotem, in the amount of NIS 2 million.

Most of the decrease stems from repayment of the senior debt in Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 39 million, and repayment of the Company’s debentures (Series A), in the amount of about NIS 11 million.

Trade payables
 
   177,198
 
   202,705
 
Most of the decrease derives from a decline in the balance of a supplier relating to the Hadera construction, in the amount of about NIS 19 million, as well as a decline in balances to IEC that had not been paid as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, in the amount of about NIS 10 million. On the other hand, there was an increase in the amount payable in respect of gas purchases, in the amount of about NIS 6 million.
             
Payables and other credit balances, including derivative instruments
 
     27,779
 
     35,343
 
Most of the decrease derives from a decline in the interest payable, in the amount of about NIS 10 million, and a decline in the fair value of the derivatives, in the amount of about NIS 2 million.
 
The decrease was partly offset by an increase in the accrued expenses, in the amount of about NIS 4 million, mainly due to an increase in the administrative and general expenses.
             
Current taxes payable
 
       3,860

Results of operations for the six‑month and three‑month periods ended June 30, 2018 (in thousands of NIS)

The Group’s activities are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of changes in the official Time of Use of Electricity Tariff (hereinafter – “the TAOZ”), which is regulated and published by the Electricity Authority. The year is broken down into 3 seasons: “summer” (July and August), “winter” (December, January and February) and “transition” (March through June and September through November). For each season a different tariff is set. The Company’s results are based on the generation component, which is part of the TAOZ, and as a result there is a seasonal effect.

EBITDA is not intended to represent monies that are available for distribution of dividends or other uses, since such monies may be used for servicing debt, capital expenditures, working capital and other liabilities. EBITDA is characterized by limitations that impair its use as an indicator of the Company’s profitability, since it does not take into account certain costs and expenses deriving from the Company’s business, which could materially affect its net income, such as financing expenses, taxes on income, depreciation, capital expenditures and other accompanying expenses.

The Company believes that the EBITDA data provides transparent information that is useful to investors in examining the Company’s operating performances and in comparing them against the operating performance of other companies in the same sector or in other sectors with different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates. This data item is also used by Company management when examining the Company’s performance.

Set forth below is a calculation of the EBITDA data item for the periods presented. Other companies may calculate the EBITDA differently. Therefore, the EBITDA presentation herein may differ from those of other companies.

The Company’s net revenues from the sale of electricity to its private customers stem from electricity sold at the generation component tariffs, as published by the Electricity Authority, with some discount. The weighted‑average generation component tariff for 2018, as published by the Electricity Authority, is NIS 0.2816 per KW hour. This weighted‑average is attributed to the mix of consumption in the market, which differs from that of the customers of Rotem and Hadera. In 2017, the weighted‑average of the generation component tariff was NIS 0.264 per KW hour. In addition, the Company’s revenues from sale of steam are linked partly to the price of gas and partly to the Consumer Price Index.

For the six‑month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

(1)
During the period, there was an increase of about NIS 44 million in the sale of energy generated for private customers, deriving mainly from: (a) an increase in the energy generated and sold to private customers, in the amount of about NIS 20 million, due to higher availability in 2018 (as a result of maintenance work performed in 2017 at the Rotem Power Plant); (b) an increase in the generation component tariff, in the amount of about NIS 23 million; and (c) an increase in the revenues, in the amount of about NIS 9 million, due to higher consumption of electricity by customers, compared with the corresponding period last year. On the other hand, the results in the first half of 2017 included non‑recurring income from a settlement relating to prior periods with private customers, in the amount of about NIS 7 million.

(2)
Most of the decrease in the total revenues from sale of energy purchased from IEC for private customers, in the amount of about NIS 20 million, stems from higher availability in 2018, mainly as a result of maintenance work performed in 2017 at the Rotem Power Plant, as stated above.

(3)
Most of the decrease in the revenues from private customers for infrastructure services stems from a decline in the infrastructure tariffs in 2018, in the amount of about NIS 17 million. In addition, revenues from private customers for infrastructure services in the first half of 2017 included revenues from a settlement relating to prior periods, in the amount of about NIS 5 million. On the other hand, in the first half of 2018, there was an increase in the total revenues from private customers for infrastructure services, in the amount of about NIS 3 million, due to higher total sales of energy.

Cost of sales (less depreciation and amortization) (Cont.)

The gas consumption of Rotem and Hadera in the six‑month and three‑month periods ended June 30, 2018 was 13,941,121 MMBTU and 6,866,133 MMBTU, respectively, and the average gas price in the six‑month and three‑month periods ended June 30, 2018 was US$ 4.706 per MMBTU and US$ 4.701 per MMBTU, respectively (for additional information regarding the gas agreement, see Note 27(G) to the Consolidated Reports).

For the six‑month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

(1)
Most of the increase in the gas costs is a result of higher availability in the first half of 2018, compared with the corresponding period last year, in the amount of about NIS 17 million. The said increase was partly offset by an upward revaluation of the exchange rate of the shekel against the dollar, in the amount of about NIS 9 million.

(2)
In the period of the report, there was a decrease of about NIS 41, million in the expenses to IEC in respect of infrastructure services and purchase of electricity, deriving mainly from: (a) higher generation stemming from higher availability as a result of which the Company’s purchases of electricity were lower (mainly due to maintenance work performed in 2017 at the Rotem power station), in the amount of about NIS 20 million; (b) a decrease in the tariffs for infrastructure services in 2018, which contributed to a decrease, in the amount of about NIS 17 million; and (c) expenses for infrastructure services following a settlement relating to prior periods made by the Company with its private customers in 2017, in the amount of about NIS 5 million. On the other hand, during the first half of 2018, there was an increase in the scope of the expenses to IEC in respect of infrastructure services, in the amount of about NIS 3 million, due to higher sales of energy in 2018.

For the three‑month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

(1)
Most of the increase in the gas costs is a result of higher availability in the second quarter of 2018, compared with the corresponding quarter last year, in the amount of about NIS 19 million (due to maintenance work performed in 2017 in the Rotem Power Plant). The increase was partly offset by an upward revaluation of the exchange rate of the shekel against the dollar, in the amount of about NIS 1 million.

(2)
In the second quarter of 2018, there was a decrease of about NIS 34 million in the expenses to IEC in respect of infrastructure services and purchase of electricity, deriving mainly from: (a) higher availability as a result of which the Company’s purchases of electricity (mainly due to maintenance work performed in the second quarter of 2017 at the Rotem power station), in the amount of about NIS 23 million; (b) a decrease in the tariffs for infrastructure services in 2018, which contributed to a decrease, in the amount of about NIS 9 million; and (c) expenses for infrastructure services following a settlement relating to prior periods made by the Company with its private customers in the second quarter of 2017, in the amount of about NIS 5 million. On the other hand, during the second quarter of 2018, there was an increase in the scope of the expenses to IEC in respect of infrastructure services, in the amount of about NIS 5 million, due to higher sales of energy in the second quarter of 2018.

   190,417
 
Most of the increase stems from an increase in the current operating activities, in the amount of about NIS 22 million, and an increase in the working capital, in the amount of about NIS 17 million (mainly due to a refund of VAT received by Hadera in 2018).

Cash flows used in investing activities
 
(138,463)
 
(228,202)
 
Most of the decrease in the cash flows used in investing activities derives from a deposit in a trust account as part of the arbitration with Tamar in the amount of about NIS 79 million in 2017, and amounts deposited in restricted deposits relating to guarantees and debt service reserves, in the amount of about NIS 4 million, in 2018, compared with about NIS 8 million in the corresponding period last year, higher investments in Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 11 million, in 2017, and in Hadera, in the amount of about NIS 3 million, and payments in respect of derivatives in 2017, in the amount of about NIS 6 million. The decrease was offset by acquisition of Tzomet in 2018, in the amount of about NIS 11 million, and investments in property, plant and equipment in the Tzomet project in 2018, in the amount of about NIS 2 million.
             
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities
 
(117,416)
 
365,068
 
Most of the decrease in the cash flows used in financing activities stems from the proceeds from issuance of the debentures (Series A), in the amount of about NIS 316 million, in 2017, lower drawings under the financing agreement framework in the Hadera project: about NIS 415 million in the first half of 2017 versus about NIS 22 million in the first half of 2018. In addition, in the first half of 2018, a dividend was paid to the holders of the non‑controlling interests, in the amount of NIS 21 million.
 
On the other hand, the above‑mentioned decrease was offset by debt payments, including, repayment of the interim loans, current debt payments, an early prepayment fee and settlement of balances of I.C. Power Asia Development, in the net aggregate amount of about NIS 366 million in 2017, compared with a total of about NIS 119 million in 2018.

Review Report of the Independent Auditors to the Shareholders of OPC Energy Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Company”) and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at June 30, 2018 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month and three-month periods then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial information for these interim periods in accordance with IAS 34 “Financial Reporting for Interim Periods”, and are also responsible for the preparation of financial information for these interim periods in accordance with Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial information for these interim periods based on our review.

Scope of the Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard 1, “Review of Financial Information for Interim Periods Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods 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 generally 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 above‑mentioned financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34.

In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above‑mentioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.
 
Sincerely,
 
Somekh Chaikin

Note 1  –
The Reporting Entity

OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Company”) was incorporated in Israel on February 2, 2010. The Company’s registered address (since May 1, 2018) is 121 Menachem Begin Blvd., Tel‑Aviv, Israel. The Company is controlled by Kenon Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Parent Company”), a company incorporated in Singapore, the shares of which are “dual listed” for trading on both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Tel‑Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Stock Exchange”). Up to February 15, 2018, the Company was controlled by I.C. Power Asia Development Ltd. (hereinafter – “Asia Development”), on which date Asia Development transferred its entire holdings in the Company to the Parent Company.

The Company is a public company the securities of which are listed for trading on thse Stock Exchange. The Company and its subsidiaries, the financial statements of which are consolidated with those of the Company (hereinafter – “the Group”), operate in Israel in the area of generation of electricity, including initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants, and the generation and supply of electricity to private customers and to Israel Electric Company (hereinafter – “IEC”).

The subsidiary, OPC Rotem Ltd. (hereinafter – “Rotem”), won a tender for construction of a private power plant located in the Rotem Plain having a capacity pursuant to the generation license of about 466 megawatts (MW) and signed an agreement for sale of the electricity (hereinafter – “the PPA”) with IEC. In addition, as a result of its win in the above‑mentioned tender, Rotem was issued a license to produce and sell electricity for a period of 30 years. On July 6, 2013, Rotem commenced commercial operation of the power plant.

The subsidiary, OPC Hadera Ltd. (hereinafter – “Hadera”), which was transferred to the Company by Asia Development in May 2017, as detailed in Note 4 below, is currently constructing a power plant that uses cogeneration technology (generation of electricity and steam). Hadera holds a conditional license for construction of a power plant adjacent to Hadera Paper Mills, having an installed capacity of up to 148.5 MW.

The Group’s activities are subject to regulation, including, among other things, the provisions of the Electricity Sector Law, 1996, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, resolutions of the Electricity Authority, the provisions of the Law for Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Concentration, 2013, and regulation in connection with licensing of businesses, planning and construction, and environmental quality. The Electricity Authority is authorized to issue licenses under the Electricity Sector Law (licenses for facilities having a generation capacity in excess of 100 MW also require approval of the Minister of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water), supervise the license holders, determine tariffs and provide benchmarks for the level, nature and quality of the services that are required from an “Essential Service Provider” that holds a generation license or a transmission and distribution license, is a producer of electricity and/or is a private electricity producer. Accordingly, the Electricity Authority supervises both IEC and private electricity producers.

The Group’s activities are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of changes in the official Time of Use of Electricity Tariff (hereinafter – “the TAOZ”), which is regulated and published by the Electricity Authority. The year is broken down into 3 seasons: “summer” (July and August), “winter” (December, January and February) and “transition” (March through June and September through November). For each season a different tariff is set. The Company’s results are based on the generation component, which is part of the TAOZ, and as a result there is a seasonal effect.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
At June 30, 2018
 
Note 2  –
Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements

A.
Declaration of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Financial Reporting for Interim Periods” and do not include all of the information required in complete, annual financial statements. These statements should be read together with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 (hereinafter – “the Annual Financial Statements”). In addition, these financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) 1970.

The condensed, consolidated, interim financial statements were approved for publication by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 13, 2018.

B.
Functional and presentation currency

The New Israeli Shekel (NIS) is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Group operates. Accordingly, the NIS is the functional currency of the Group. The NIS also serves as the presentation currency in these financial statements. Currencies other than the NIS constitute foreign currency.

C.
Use of estimates and judgment

In preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS, Company management is required to use judgment when making estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect implementation of the policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results are likely to be different than these estimates.

Management’s judgment, at the time of implementing the Group’s accounting policies and the main assumptions used in the estimates involving uncertainty, are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial Statements, except for that stated in Note 3.

Note 3  –
Significant Accounting Policies

A.
The Group’s accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as the policies applied in the Annual Financial Statements, except as detailed below.

B.
First-time application of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations

Commencing from January 1, 2018, the Group applies the new accounting standards and amendments to standards described below:

(1)
IFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments

Commencing from the first quarter of 2018, the Group applies IFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments (in this section – “the Standard” or “IFRS 9”), which supersedes IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (in this section – “IAS 39”). The Group has elected to apply the Standard as from January 1, 2018, without adjustment of the comparative figures. The first-time application of the Standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements as at January 1, 2018.

All the financial instruments that under IAS 39 had been allocated to the “loans and receivables” measurement group were reallocated under IFRS 9 to the “amortized cost” measurement group. The first-time application of IFRS 9 did not have a material effect on the opening balance of retained earnings and other the equity components.

Set forth below are the main changes in the accounting policies as a result of application of the Standard commencing from January 1, 2018:

Initial recognition and measurement

The Group initially recognizes trade receivables and debt instruments issued on the date they are created. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date on which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Generally, a financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or the financial liability. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price. Receivables originating from contract assets are initially measured at the carrying amount of the contract assets on the date the classification was changed from a contract asset to receivables.

Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement

The Group has balances of trade and other receivables and deposits that are held under a business model the objective of which is collection of the contractual cash flows. The contractual cash flows in respect of such financial assets comprise solely payments of principal and interest that reflect consideration for the time-value of the money and the credit risk. Accordingly, such financial assets are measured at amortized cost.

First-time application of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations (Cont.)

(1)
IFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments (Cont.)

Measurement of expected credit losses

Expected credit losses represent a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured at the present value of the difference between the cash flows to which the Group is entitled under the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Financial assets impaired due to credit risk

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets that are measured amortized cost and debt instruments that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income have become impaired by credit risk. A financial asset is impaired due to credit risk when one or more of the events occur that adversely affect the future cash flows estimated for such financial asset.

Hedge accounting

As of December 31, 2017, the hedge relationships designated for hedge accounting under IAS 39 qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, and are therefore considered continuing hedge relationships.

(2)
IFRS 15, Revenues from Contracts with Customers

Commencing from January 1, 2018, the Group is applying for the first time International Financial Reporting Standard No. 15 (in this section – “IFRS 15” or “the Standard”), which provides guidelines for recognition of revenue. The Group has elected to apply the Standard using the “catch‑up” approach, by means of adjusting the balance of the retained earnings as at January 1, 2018, and without restatement of the comparative figures. The first-time application of the Standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements as at January 1, 2018.

The Standard presents a new five‑step model for recognition of revenue from contracts with customers: (1) Identification of the contract with the customer; (2) Identification of separate performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determination of the transaction price; (4) Allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations; (5) Recognition of revenue when the performance obligations are fulfilled.

Set forth below are the highlights of the new accounting policies in connection with recognition of revenue that were applied commencing from January 1, 2018 as a result of application of the Standard:

(2)
IFRS 15, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Cont.)

Revenue

The Group recognizes revenue when the customer attains control of the promised goods or services. Revenue is measured based on the amount of the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in consideration for transfer of the goods and services promised to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Determination of the contract price

The transaction price is the amount of the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in consideration for transfer of the goods and services promised to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. When determining the transaction price, the Group considers the effects of all of the following: variable consideration, the existence of a significant financing component in the contract, non‑cash consideration and consideration payable to the customer.

(3)
Interpretation IFRIC 22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Deposits in Foreign Currency

The Interpretation provides that the transaction date for purposes of determining the exchange rate to be used for recording a transaction in foreign currency that includes advance deposit is the date on which the Group initially recognizes a non‑monetary asset/liability in respect of the said advance deposit. Where there are multiple advance payments or receipts, the Group will determine the transaction date for each payment/receipt separately.

The Interpretation is being applied prospectively.

C.
Accounting standards not yet adopted

IFRS 16, Leases

IFRS 16 supersedes International Accounting Standard (IAS) No. 17 “Leases” and the related Interpretations. The provisions of the Standard cancel the existing requirement that lessees classify the lease as an operating or a financing lease. Instead, as for lessees, the new Standard presents a uniform model for the accounting treatment of all leases, pursuant to which the lessee is to recognize an asset and a liability in respect of the lease in its financial statements. The Standard also sets out new disclosure requirements that are more extensive than the presently existing requirements. The Standard is effective for annual periods commencing on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the Company also applies IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The Group intends to adopt the Standard commencing from January 1, 2019, using the “catch‑up” approach, while adjusting the balance of retained earnings as at January 1, 2019.

C.
Accounting standards not yet adopted (Cont.)

The Group intends to elect to apply the transitional provision whereby on the application date it will recognize a lease liability based on the present value of the balance of the future lease payments, discounted based on the lessee’s incremental interest rate on that date, and a parallel “lease usage right” asset in the same amount, adjusted for the lease payments made in advance or accrued that were recognize as an asset or a liability prior to the initial application date. As a result, the Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the retained earnings on the application date.

Note 4  –
Business Combination under Common Control

In May 2017, the parent company executed a restructuring transaction, in accordance with Section 104 of the Income Tax Ordinance, whereby the Parent Company at that time, Asia Development (hereinafter in this Note – “the Parent Company”), transferred to the Company: (1) its entire holdings (100%) in Hadera, and (2) its entire holdings (100%) in O.P.C Operating Ltd. (the present operator of the Energy Center and upon completion of construction of the Hadera power plant will serve as the operating company for the Hadera power plant) (hereinafter – “Hadera Operating Company”), this being in consideration for issuance of 20 ordinary shares of NIS 0.01 par value each of the Company to the Parent Company. Concurrent with the aforementioned transfer, the Parent Company assigned to the Company capital notes in the amount of NIS 191,844 thousand, which were issued by Hadera to the Parent Company. Against the said assignment of the capital notes, a debt of the Company to the Parent Company was recorded in the same amount, which was offset against a loan that the Company had provided to the Parent Company.

In July 2017, the Parent Company made a structural change, pursuant to Section 104 of the Income Tax Ordinance, whereby the Parent Company transferred to the Company all of its holdings (80%) in AGS Rotem Ltd. (hereinafter – “AGS”), in exchange for issuance of one ordinary share of NIS 0.01 par value of the Company to the Parent Company. As part of the transfer of the Parent Company’s holdings in AGS to the Company, capital notes issued by AGS to the Parent Company were assigned in favor of the Company, the balance of which as at the date of the transfer of AGS was about NIS 8,385 thousand, this being against a debt of the Company to the Parent Company in the same amount, which was repaid during 2017.

In July 2017, the Parent Company sold to OPC Solar Ltd. its entire holdings (85.3%) in Greenday Renewable Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “Greenday”), which was purchased by the Parent Company on January 12, 2017, for a consideration of NIS 288 thousand and assignment to the Company of Greenday’s debt to the Parent Company, the balance of which as of June 30, 2017, was NIS 2,618 thousand, such that Greenday will be indebted to the Company and the Company will be indebted to the Parent Company. The said debt to the Parent Company was paid during 2017.

Note 4  –
Business Combination under Common Control (Cont.)

The transfers of Hadera, Hadera Operating Company, AGS and Greenday to the Company were accounted for as business combinations under common control, in accordance with the “as pooling” method, as if the acquisitions had been executed on the date that control was initially achieved by the Parent Company. For this purpose, the comparative data was restated. The acquired assets and liabilities are presented at their values as previously presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company on the date of transfer of the shares of Hadera, Hadera Operating Company, AGS and Greenday. The Company’s equity components were restated from the date that control was initially achieved by the Parent Company, such that the equity components of Hadera, Hadera Operating Company, AGS and Greenday were added to the Company’s existing equity components. The amounts of the acquired assets and liabilities on the date that control was achieved were recognized directly in equity. The difference between the consideration transferred, including the par value of the transferred shares, and the net cost of the net assets and liabilities, as well as the aforementioned effects stemming from the restructuring, were recorded in the “capital reserve in respect of mergers”.

Presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the “as pooling” method mainly impacted the balance of the property, plant and equipment and the balance of the capital notes issued to the former parent company, each of which increased by about NIS 11 million.

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, using the Level 2 valuation method. The fair value is measured using the discounted future cash flows method, on the basis of observable data.
 
In addition, the Company enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments in order to hedge foreign currency risks. Derivatives are recorded based on their fair value. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is based on prices, rates and interest rates that are received from banks, brokers and through customary trading software. The fair value of the derivatives is estimated on the basis of the data received, using valuation and pricing techniques that are characteristic of the various instruments in the different markets. The fair value measurement of long-term derivative financial instruments is estimated by discounting the cash flows deriving from them, based on the terms and maturity of each instrument and using market interest rates for similar instruments as at the measurement date. Changes in the economic assumptions and the valuation techniques could materially affect the fair value of the instruments.

Note 6  –
Acquisition of Tzomet

Tzomet Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “Tzomet”) is advancing a project for construction of a power plant running on natural gas, using open‑cycle conventional technology and having an output of about 396 megawatts, which is located proximate to the Plugot Intersection.

Pursuant to that stated in Note 27(M) to the Annual Financial Statements, on February 26, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved completion of the Tzomet transaction, along with waiver of the precondition for receipt of a new license by Tzomet. Accordingly, on March 7, 2018 the transaction was completed and the control of Tzomet was transferred to the Company (hereinafter – “the Transaction Completion Date”). Furthermore, the Board of Directors approved an update of the milestones with respect to the fixed payment dates provided in the original agreements, in such a manner that does not change the total amount of the consideration compared with the original milestones. As a result, on the Transaction Completion Date the Company paid the amount of U.S.$3,650 thousand (U.S.$3,550 thousand in respect of repayment of a shareholders’ loan in Tzomet and U.S.$100 thousand for acquisition of the shares of Tzomet) in respect of fulfillment of the first milestone. Following receipt in March 2018 of the decision in the administrative petition rejecting the petition, the Company paid an additional U.S.$3,650 thousand, in respect of fulfillment of the second milestone. The remaining consideration, in the amount of about U.S.$15,800 thousand, is to be paid on the date of the financial closing of the Tzomet transaction.

In June 2016, Tzomet submitted an application to IEC relating to a feasibility study for connection of the facility to the national electricity network (hereinafter – “the Preliminary Study”). In August 2017, the results of the Preliminary Study conducted by IEC’s System Administrator were received. According to the results of the Preliminary Study, there is no certainty with respect to the timetables that will enable connection of the plant to the national electricity network. Tzomet filed an appeal of the results of the Preliminary Study with the Electricity Authority. In May 2018, the Electricity Authority issued its decision whereby no fault was found with the results of the Preliminary Study conducted by the System Administrator and, therefore, there are no grounds to contest it. The Company believes it will be able to continue to take action in order to obtain a positive preliminary study for connection to the national transmission network. Accordingly, in June 2018, the Company submitted a request for a preliminary study. The results of the said preliminary study have not yet been received.

In addition, further to that stated in the annual financial statements, in May 2018, the City of Kiryat Gat filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of the decision on the administrative petition issued by the District Court for Administrative Matters in Be’er Sheva to reject the administrative petition filed regarding the leniency allowed with respect to National Infrastructures Plan (NIP) 55. A decision in the appeal has not yet been issued, except for determination of dates for submission of summaries on behalf of the parties and a date for hearing the appeal, which was set for November 2018. At this stage, prior to hearing of the appeal’s substantive claims, the Company and its legal advisors are unable to estimate the chances that the claim will ultimately be accepted but, nevertheless, they believe that the appeal is more likely to be rejected than accepted and, accordingly, no provision has been included in the financial statements in respect thereof.

Additional Information

A.
Further to that stated in Note 27(G) to the Annual Financial Statements, in January 2018, the Electricity Authority published a resolution, regarding tariff updates for 2018, wherein the generation component was raised by 6.7% – from NIS 264 per MWh to NIS 281.6 per MWh.

B.
Further to the stated in Note 27(G) to the Annual Financial Statements, in February 2018, Tamar Partners filed a detailed statement of claim wherein they repeat the contentions that are described in the Note and also raised an alternative argument, pursuant to which NIS 361.5 per MWh should be declared as the relevant tariff for the period in dispute (constituting the average of the four tariffs published by the Electricity Authority in 2013). On June 8, 2018, Rotem filed a detailed statement of defense wherein it rejected the contentions. Rotem believes that it is more likely than not that its position will be accepted. Accordingly, no provision was included in the financial statements in respect of said claim.

C.
On January 10, 2018, a request was filed with the District Court in Tel‑Aviv–Jaffa for certification of a derivative claim (hereinafter in this Section – “the Request”) by a shareholder in Oil Refineries Ltd. (hereinafter – “ORL”) against former and current directors of ORL, Israel Chemicals Ltd., Israel Corporation Ltd., Mr. Idan Ofer, Mr. Ehud Angel, and against the Company, Rotem and Hadera (hereinafter – “the OPC Group”). The subject matter of the Request involves gas purchase transactions of ORL, Israel Chemicals Ltd. and the OPC Group (hereinafter – “the Companies”), including the inter‑company aspects thereof, including: (1) a transaction of the Companies for purchase of natural gas from Tamar Partners (for additional information see Note 27(G) to the Annual Financial Statements); and (2) transactions of the Companies for purchase of natural gas from Energean (for additional information see Note 27(G) to the Annual Financial Statements). Regarding a transaction with Energean, in brief, the plaintiff claims that, in addition to the transaction of the Companies with Energean, a transaction is required among the Companies themselves for allocation of the economic benefits achieved in the joint negotiations in a manner that properly reflects the purchasing power and the negotiating strength of each of them. The plaintiff argues that the alleged absence of such an inter‑company transaction (or the alleged absence of a proper proceeding for allocation of the benefit) adversely impacts ORL (is not at arm’s length regarding the inter‑company aspect), and ORL does not receive its share of the economic benefit in light of its significant purchasing power and its contribution to the negotiations with Energean (among other things, in light of the fact that the transaction was executed at similar prices to the Group Companies). The principal remedies sought by the plaintiff in the Request with respect to the Energean transaction are several declaratory and monetary measures, including, among other things, implementation of an inter-company proceeding.

Regarding the Tamar transaction, the plaintiff argues that engagement in the Tamar transaction was not properly approved by ORL and raises other allegations in relation to this transaction, including whether the transaction is beneficial to ORL and at arm’s length; in relation to the Tamar transaction, declaratory remedies and compensation remedies are sought and/or refunding of the benefit amounts allegedly received by the Company and the other parties to the transaction at the expense of ORL, with the addition of the claimed coefficient.

Subsequent to the date of the report, in August 2018, OPC Group submitted its response to the Request. OPC Group rejected the contentions appearing in the Request and requested summary dismissal of the Request.

In the Company’s estimation, based on its legal advisors, it is more reasonable than not that the Request will not be accepted by the Court and, accordingly, no provision was included in the Company’s financial statements in respect of the Request.

Further to that stated in Note 19(C) to the Annual Financial Statements, in May 2018, the employee stock option plan was updated in a manner that included three revisions: (1) addition of the possibility of issuing Restricted Share Units (RSUs); (2) addition of 797,168 to the number of options and/or RSUs that may be issued under the plan; and (3) revision of the adjustment mechanism in a case of change of control.

Each RSU unit will entitle its holder to receive from the Company, by way of allotment and for no consideration, one ordinary share of NIS 0.01 par value of the Company. The RSUs will not convey to the holders thereof any right conveyed to shareholders, prior to their exercise for shares of the Company, including a right to vote, except for the right to receive an amount equivalent to a dividend in a case where the Company decides to distribute a dividend.

In June 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a private issuance to eight managers and officers in the Group, in an aggregate quantity of 1,165,625 options exercisable for 1,165,625 ordinary shares of NIS 0.01 par value of the Company and 248,685 RSUs (hereinafter – “the Offered Securities”). The Offered Securities will be issued under the Capital Track (with a trustee), in accordance with Section 102 of the Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, in four equal tranches. The vesting conditions and expiration dates of the Offered Securities are as follows:

Tranche No.

The exercise price of each option is NIS 18.41 (unlinked). The exercise price is subject to certain adjustments (including in respect of distribution of dividends, issuance of rights, etc.).

The average fair value of each option granted was estimate proximate to the issuance date, using the Black and Scholes model, at NIS 3.84 per option. The calculation is based on a standard deviation of 20.93%–21.41%, a risk‑free interest rate of 0.88% to 1.43% and an expected life of 4 to 6 years. The fair value of the RSU Units was estimated based on the price of a Company share on June 20, 2018, which was NIS 18.52.

The cost of the benefit embedded in the Offered Securities, as stated, which is based on the fair value proximate to the date of their grant, amounted to about NIS 8,955 thousand. This amount will be recorded to the statement of income over the vesting period of each tranche.
