Financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes only

The book value of certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, current investments, including derivatives, trade and other payables, including derivatives and other long-term liabilities, are equal or approximate to their fair value.

The fair values of the remaining financial liabilities and their book values as presented in the consolidated statements of financial position are as follows:

* The fair value as of December 31, 2020 includes principal and interest in a total sum of approximately NIS 62 million, paid in January 2021, after the end of the reporting period.

The fair value as of December 31, 2019 includes principal and interest in a total sum of approximately NIS 278 million, paid in January 2020.

The fair value of marketable debentures is determined by reference to the quoted closing asking price at the reporting date (level 1), with the addition of principal and interest amounts, which were paid during the following month after the end of the reporting period.

Details regarding fair value measurement at Level 2

Financial  instrument
  
Valuation method for determining fair value
     
Forward contracts
  
Fair value measured on the basis of discounting the difference between the forward price in the contract and the current forward price for the residual period until redemption using market interest rates appropriate for similar instruments, including the adjustment required for the parties’ credit risks.
     
Foreign currency options
  
Fair value is measured based on the Black-Scholes formula.
