Kenon Holdings Inc. (hereinafter – “Kenon”) is the Company’s controlling shareholder for the purposes of the Securities Law and the Companies Law, 1999.

Brief description of the Group, its business environment and its areas of activity

The Company operates in a single segment – generation and supply of electricity. In this framework, the Company is engaged in initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants and generation and supply of electricity to private customers and IEC. In its electricity generation and supply activities, the Company concentrates on generation of electricity using conventional and cogeneration technologies. The Company owns (through subsidiaries that it controls) two power plants: the Rotem power plant, which utilizes conventional generation technology, and the Hadera Power Plant, which is currently under construction and is designated to use cogeneration technology.

The Rotem power plant is owned by OPC Rotem Ltd. (hereinafter – “Rotem”), in which the Company holds 80% of the shares. The remaining shares of Rotem are held by a single shareholder.

The Hadera Power Plant, which is currently under construction, is owned by OPC Hadera Ltd. (hereinafter – “Hadera”).

(hereinafter – “Hadera Paper”). As at September 30, 2018, the investments in the Hadera power plant and infrastructures amounted to about NIS 760 million.

On February 26, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved completion of the Zomet transaction and to acquire 95% of the issued and paid‑up share capital of Zomet Energy Ltd.

Current Assets
           
             
Cash and cash equivalents
 
   467,543
 
   508,181
 
Most of the decrease stems from current debt payments, in the amount of about NIS 154 million, a deposit in short‑term deposits, in the amount of about NIS 100 million, additional investments in construction of the Hadera power plant, in the amount of about NIS 40 million, distribution of a dividend to the holders of non‑controlling interests, in the amount of about NIS 29 million, investments in property, plant and equipment in Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 21 million, acquisition of Zomet, in the amount of about NIS 8 million, and additional investments in the Zomet project, in the amount of about NIS 6 million.
 
This decrease was partly offset by an increase in the cash balances deriving from the Company’s current operating activities, in the amount of about NIS 310 million, and net withdrawals from restricted cash, in the amount of about NIS 8 million.
 
For further information – see the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as at September 30, 2018, included in the Interim Reports.

Long-term deposits and restricted cash

This decrease was partly offset by 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 9 million, and an increase of the restricted cash in Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 4 million, mainly as a result of changes in the exchange rate of the dollar.

EBITDA

The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (losses) before depreciation and amortization, net financing expenses or income and taxes on income. EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or under any other generally accepted accounting standards as an indicator for the measurement of financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for profit or loss, cash flows from operating activities or other terms of operational performance or liquidity prescribed under IFRS.

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 nine‑month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

(1)
During the period, there was an increase of about NIS 45 million in the revenues from sale of energy generated to private customers, deriving mainly from: (a) an increase in the energy generated and sold to private customers, in the amount of about NIS 15 million, due to higher availability in 2018 (as a result of a higher number of planned maintenance days in 2017 compared with 2018 at the Rotem power plant); and (b) an increase in the generation component tariff, in the amount of about NIS 34 million. On the other hand, the results in the first nine months of 2017 included non‑recurring income from a settlement relating to prior periods with private customers, in the amount of about NIS 5 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 15 million, stems from higher availability in 2018, mainly as a result of a higher number of planned maintenance days in 2017 compared with 2018 at the Rotem power plant.

(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 29 million. In addition, revenues from private customers for infrastructure services in the first nine months of 2017 included revenues from a settlement relating to prior periods, in the amount of about NIS 4 million. Furthermore, as a result of a change in the customer mix (voltage level), there was a decrease in the total revenues from private customers for infrastructure services, in the amount of about NIS 3 million.

(4)
Most of the decrease in the revenues from sale of energy to the System Administrator in the first nine months of 2018, in the amount of about NIS 0.5 million, compared with the corresponding period last year, is a result of the higher consumption by private customers.

Revenues (Cont.)

For the nine‑month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: (Cont.)

(5)
The increase in the revenues from sale of steam, in the amount of about NIS 3 million, stems from: (a) a change in the basis for calculating the estimated price of the steam, in the amount of about NIS 2 million; and (b) higher consumption of steam in 2018, in the amount of about NIS 1 million.

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

(1)
In the third quarter of 2018, there was an increase of about NIS 1 million in the revenues from sale of energy generated to private customers, deriving mainly from an increase in the generation component tariff, in the amount of about NIS 11 million. On the other hand, there was a decrease in the energy generated and sold to private customers, in the amount of about NIS 5 million, due to lower availability in 2018 (as a result of planned maintenance work that started in September in 2018 at the Rotem power plant), and a different mix of private electricity customers compared with the corresponding quarter last year, in the amount of about NIS 4 million.

(2)
Most of the increase in the total revenues from sale of energy purchased from IEC to private customers, in the amount of about NIS 5 million, stems from lower availability in 2018, mainly as a result of planned maintenance work that started in September 2018 at the Rotem power plant.

(3)

In addition, in the third quarter of 2018 there was a decrease in the revenues from private customers for infrastructure services, in the amount of about NIS 4 million, as a result of a different mix of private electricity customers in the third quarter of 2018.

(4)
Most of the increase in the revenues from sale of energy to the System Administrator in the third quarter of 2018, in the amount of about NIS 2 million, compared with the corresponding quarter last year, is a result of the lower consumption by private customers.

(5)
The increase in the revenues from sale of steam, in the amount of about NIS 2 million, stems from: (a) a change in the basis for calculating the estimated price of the steam, in the amount of about NIS 1 million; and (b) higher consumption of steam in the third quarter of 2018, in the amount of about NIS 1 million.

For the nine‑month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

(1)
Most of the decrease in the gas and diesel oil costs is a result of a decrease in the diesel oil consumption costs, in the amount of about NIS 17 million, due to: (a) a reimbursement from Israel Electric Company for costs of diesel oil in prior years, in the amount of about NIS 8 million; and (b) a decrease in the consumption of diesel oil in 2018 compared with the corresponding period last year, in the amount of about NIS 9 million, as a result of increased production of diesel oil at Rotem’s power plant in September 2017 due to a technical failure found as part of the maintenance of the gas production raft in the Tamar reservoir. In addition, there was an upward revaluation of the exchange rate of the shekel against the dollar, in the amount of about NIS 7 million. The said decrease was partly offset, in the amount of about NIS 21 million, as a result of higher consumption of gas stemming from higher availability of Rotem’s power plant and no gas shortages in the first nine months of 2018, compared with the corresponding period last year.

(2)
In the period of the report, there was a decrease of about NIS 52, 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 (mainly due to a higher number of planned maintenance days in 2017 at the Rotem power station), in the amount of about NIS 15 million; (b) a decrease in the tariffs for infrastructure services in 2018, which contributed to a decrease in the amount of about NIS 29 million; (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 4 million; and (d) change in the mix of the customers (voltage level), in the amount of about NIS 3 million.

(3)
Most of the decrease stems from a reimbursement in connection with an insurance premium with respect to prior years, in the amount of about NIS 3 million, in 2018.

Most of the decrease in the gas and diesel oil costs is a result of a decrease in the diesel oil consumption costs, in the amount of about NIS 17 million, due to: (a) a reimbursement from Israel Electric Company for costs of diesel oil in prior years, in the amount of about NIS 8 million; and (b) a decrease in the consumption of diesel oil in the third quarter of 2018 compared with the corresponding quarter last year, in the amount of about NIS 9 million, as a result of increased production of diesel oil at Rotem’s power plant in September 2017 due to a technical failure found as part of the maintenance of the gas production raft in the Tamar reservoir. The said decrease was partly offset by (a) no shortages of gas in the third quarter of 2018 compared with the corresponding quarter last year, coming to about NIS 4 million and (b) a devaluation of the exchange rate of the shekel against the dollar, in the amount of about NIS 2 million.

(2)
In the third quarter of 2018, there was a decrease of about NIS 11, million in the expenses to IEC in respect of infrastructure services and purchase of electricity, deriving mainly from a decrease in the tariffs for infrastructure services and lower consumption of private customers in 2018, which contributed to a decrease in the amount of about NIS 16 million. On the other hand, due to lower availability as a result of planned maintenance at Rotem’s power plant that started in September 2018, there was an increase of the total purchases of electricity, in the amount of about NIS 5 million.

(3)
Most of the decrease stems from a reimbursement in connection with an insurance premium in respect of prior years, in the amount of about NIS 3 million, in 2018.

Cash flows used in investing activities
   
(264,804
)
   
(322,208
)
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, higher investments in Rotem, in the amount of about NIS 29 million, and in Hadera, in the amount of about NIS 41 million, in 2017, deposits in restricted cash and debt‑service funds, in 2017, in the amount of about NIS 23 million, and payments in respect of derivatives in 2017, in the amount of about NIS 5 million. In addition, in 2018 a withdrawal was made from restricted cash and debt‑service funds in 2018, in the amount of about NIS 8 million.
 
This decrease was offset by deposits in short‑term deposits in 2018, in the amount of about NIS 100 million, withdrawals from short‑term deposits in 2017, in the amount of about NIS 16 million, and acquisition of and investments in Zomet in 2018, in the amount of about NIS 14 million.
                      
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities
   
(83,209
)
   
618,306
 
Most of the increase in the cash flows used in financing activities stems from the proceeds from issuance of shares, in the amount of about NIS 365 million, in 2017, the proceeds from issuance of the debentures (Series A), in the amount of about NIS 316 million, in 2017, lower withdrawals from the financing agreement framework in the Hadera project: about NIS 415 million in 2017 versus about NIS 102 million in 2018. In addition, in 2018, a dividend was paid to the holders of the non‑controlling interests, in the amount of NIS 29 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 repayment fee and settlement of balances of I.C. Power Asia Development, in the net aggregate amount of about NIS 478 million in 2017, compared with a total of about NIS 156 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 September 30, 2018 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-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
Certified Public Accountants (Isr.)

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 the 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”), 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.

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 International Accounting Standard 34 (hereinafter – “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 November 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 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 statement of financial position 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 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 reflects consideration for the time-value of the money and the credit risk. Accordingly, such financial assets are measured at amortized cost.

B.
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 at 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 have occurred that adversely affect the future cash flows estimated for such financial asset.

Hedge accounting

The Group elected to continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 instead of the requirements of IFRS 9.

(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; and (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 transaction 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 deposits is the date on which the Group initially recognizes a non‑monetary asset/liability in respect of the said advance deposits. 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 17 “Leases” (hereinafter – “IAS 17”) 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.

IFRS 16, Leases (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 recognized 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  –
Financial Instruments (Cont.)

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. Derivative financial instruments 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 derivative financial instruments 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 5  –
Acquisition of Zomet

Zomet Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “Zomet”) 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 Zomet transaction, along with waiver of the precondition for receipt of a new license by Zomet. Accordingly, on March 7, 2018 the transaction was completed and the control of Zomet 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 Zomet and U.S.$100 thousand for acquisition of the shares of Zomet) 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 Zomet transaction.

In addition, further to that stated in Note 27(M) to 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 the end of 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.
 
The Company is continuing to take action in order to see to fulfillment of the preconditions for completion of the Zomet project, which at the present time have not yet been fulfilled and which include, mainly, approval of the Electricity Authority of the grant of a license (taking into account the position of the Business Concentration Committee from August 2017), ensuring the capability to transmit electricity from the project site and maintenance of a position in the network on the required date, as well as execution of additional activities – this being for the purpose of advancing the Zomet project toward a financial closing. Nonetheless, there is no certainty that the Zomet project will ultimately be completed and that stated is dependent on, among other things, factors that are not under the Company’s control.

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 that 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). In June 2018, Rotem filed a detailed statement of defense wherein it rejected the contentions. Subsequent to the date of the report, in October 2018, a response was filed by Tamar Partners. 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.

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 financial statements in respect of the Request.

D.
Further to that stated in Note 27(Q) to the Annual Financial Statements, in July 2018, Rotem filed its response to the request for certification of a derivative claim (hereinafter in this Note – “the Request”). In Rotem’s estimation, based on its legal advisors, it is more likely than not that the Request will not be accepted by the Court and, accordingly, no provision has been recorded in the financial statements in respect of the Request.

E.
Further to that stated in Note 16(C)(4) to the Annual Financial Statements, in the period of the report Hadera withdrew NIS 102 million from the Senior Facility Agreement in three increments.

H.
In January 2018, the Rating Board of Midroog Ltd. (hereinafter – “Midroog”) reconfirmed the rating of Hadera’s senior debt at A3 with a stable outlook for the construction and operation period and at A2 with a stable outlook for the operation period only. In February 2018, Midroog updated the long-term rating of Rotem to Aa3 with a positive outlook and also updated the rating of Rotem’s senior debt from Aa3 with a stable outlook to Aa3 with a positive outlook.

In July 2018, an issuer’s rating of A– with a stable rating outlook for the Company and a rating of A– for the Company’s debentures (Series A) were reconfirmed by Maalot. In addition, in August 2018, a rating of A3 with a stable rating outlook for the Company’s debentures (Series A) was reconfirmed by Midroog.

I.
Further to that stated in Note 27(G) to the Annual Financial Statements, as at the approval date of the financial statements, all the preconditions were fulfilled with reference to Rotem and Hadera (receipt of approval of the General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders and receipt of approval of the consortium of financiers), and the precondition was also fulfilled regarding approval of the Restrictive Business Practices (Antitrust) Authority. On the other hand, the precondition stipulated in the Energean agreements had not yet been fulfilled with respect to the financial closing of Energean (hereinafter – “the Precondition”). Should the Precondition not be fulfilled by December 31, 2018, each of the parties will be permitted to bring the agreement to an end by means of an agreed advance notice, provided that the Precondition is not fulfilled during the said early notification period.

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.

Subsequent to the date of the report, a Company officer concluded her position with the Company prior to the end of the vesting period under the options’ plan and, therefore, in accordance with the terms of the options’ plan, her rights with respect to all the options and RSUs (Restricted Share Units) issued to her (98,958 options and 20,518 RSUs) expired. The expired options and RSUs, as stated, were returned to the number of shares that are covered by the employee stock option plan and they may be reissued.

O.

Furthermore, pursuant to the said amendment, the Company provided a debt service reserve, in the scope of 18 months’ payments of principal and interest, and it committed to comply with financial covenants and restrictions regarding distributions such that the “historical debt coverage ratio” will not fall below 1.2, and for purposes of a distribution, as defined in the trust certificate, the “historical debt coverage ratio” will not be lower than 1.4.

P.
In September 2018, Zomet signed a planning, procurement and construction agreement (hereinafter – “the Agreement”) with PW Power Systems LLC (hereinafter – “the Zomet Construction Contractor”), for construction of the Zomet project.
