AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

MICRONET LTD.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Micronet Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the abovementioned financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations, the changes in their equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of Rights Issues:

The amendment to IAS 32 ("the Amendment") provides that rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the Company's equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are classified as equity instruments if the Company offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its non-derivative equity instruments. The Amendment has been applied retrospectively from January 1, 2011.

The retrospective application of the Amendment did not have an effect on the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure:

The amendment to IFRS 7 ("the Amendment") clarifies the Standard's disclosure requirements. In this context, emphasis is placed on the interaction between the quantitative disclosures and the qualitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments. The Amendment also reduces the disclosure requirements for collateral held by the Company and revises the disclosure requirements for credit risk. The Amendment has been applied retrospectively commencing from the financial statements for periods beginning on January 1, 2011.

The retrospective application of the Amendment did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements:

According to the amendment to IAS 1 ("the Amendment"), the changes between the opening and the closing balances of each component of other comprehensive income may be presented in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes accompanying the annual financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has elected to present this disclosure in the statement of changes in equity. The Amendment has been applied retrospectively from January 1, 2011.

 
b.
Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the financial statements:

 
1.
Judgments:

In the process of applying the significant accounting policies, the Group has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
 
 
-
Classification of leases:

In order to determine whether to classify a lease as finance or operating lease, the Company evaluates whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset. In this respect, the Company evaluates such criteria as the existence of a "bargain" purchase option, the lease term in relation to the economic life of the asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments in relation to the fair value of the asset.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
 
-
Determining the fair value of share-based payment transactions:

The fair value of share-based payment transactions is determined using a standard option pricing model. The assumptions used in the model can include the share price, exercise price, expected volatility, expected life, expected dividend and risk-free interest rate.

 
2.
Estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the application of the accounting policies and on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. Changes in accounting estimates are reported in the period of the change in estimate.

The key assumptions made in the financial statements concerning uncertainties at the end of the reporting period and the critical estimates computed by the Group that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

 
-
Legal claims:

In estimating the likelihood of outcome of legal claims filed against the Company and its investees, the companies rely on the opinion of their legal counsel. These estimates are based on the legal counsel's best professional judgment, taking into account the stage of proceedings and historical legal precedents in respect of the different issues. Since the outcome of the claims will be determined in courts, the results could differ from these estimates.

 
-
Provision for warranty:

The assumptions that were used in the calculation of the provision for warranty are based on the Company's current level of sales and on operational information that is available in respect of repairs, based on a warranty for one year, which is provided on most of the products that are sold.

NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 
-
Deferred tax assets:

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused carryforward tax losses and temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Further details are given in note o.

 
-
Pensions and other post-employment benefits:

The liability in respect of post-employment defined benefit plans is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about, among others, discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. Further details are given in note q.

 
-
Share-based payment transactions and conversion option of convertible debentures:

The determination of the fair value for options that have been granted as part of share-based payment transactions and the determination of the value for the conversion option of convertible debentures as of the balance sheet date have been determined by an independent external appraiser using the binomial model.

 
c.
Consolidated financial statements:

Effective from January 1, 2010, the date of initial adoption of IFRS 3 (Revised) and IAS 27 (2008), the Group applies the accounting policy required by these Standards for business combinations and transactions with non-controlling interests.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of companies that are controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity. The effect of potential voting rights that are exercisable at the end of the reporting period is considered when assessing whether an entity has control. The consolidation of the financial statements commences on the date on which control is obtained and ends when such control ceases.

Significant intragroup balances and transactions and gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full in the consolidated financial statements.

MICRONET LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Upon the disposal of a subsidiary resulting in loss of control, the Company:

 
-
derecognizes the subsidiary's assets and liabilities.
 
-
derecognizes the carrying amount of non-controlling interests.
 
-
recognizes the fair value of the consideration received.

The financial statements of the Company and of the subsidiaries are prepared as of the same dates and periods. The accounting policies in the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been applied consistently and uniformly with those applied in the financial statements of the Company.

 
d.
Functional currency, presentation currency and foreign currency:

 
1.
Functional currency and presentation currency:

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the NIS.

The functional currency which is the currency that best reflects the economic environment in which the Company operates and conducts its transactions is separately determined for each Group entity and is used to measure its financial position and operating results. The functional currency of the Company is the NIS.

When a Group entity's functional currency differs from the Company's functional currency, that entity represents a foreign operation whose financial statements are translated so that they can be included in the consolidated financial statements as follows:

 
a)
Assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period (including comparative data) are translated at the closing rate at the end of each reporting period. Goodwill and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and are translated at the closing rate at the end of each reporting period.

 
b)
Income and expenses for each period included in profit or loss (including comparative data) are translated at average exchange rates for the relevant periods; however, if exchange rates fluctuate significantly, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates at the date of the transactions.

 
c)
Share capital, capital reserves and other changes in capital are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of incurrence.

e)
All resulting translation differences are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in equity "foreign currency translation reserve".

Upon the full or partial disposal of a foreign operation, the relevant portion of other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized in profit or loss. Commencing from January 1, 2010, upon the partial disposal of a subsidiary that is a foreign operation which disposal results in the loss of control of the subsidiary, the cumulative gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss whereas upon the partial disposal of a subsidiary that is a foreign operation which disposal results in the retention of control, the relative portion of the cumulative amount recognized in other comprehensive income is reattributed to non-controlling interests.

 
2.
Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency:

Transactions denominated in foreign currency (other than the functional currency) are recorded on initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the end of each reporting period into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or recorded in equity in hedging transactions, are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

 
3.
Index-linked monetary items:

Monetary assets and liabilities linked to the changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("Israeli CPI") are adjusted at the relevant index at the end of each reporting period according to the terms of the agreement. Linkage differences arising from the adjustment, as above, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or recorded in equity in hedge transactions, are recognized in profit or loss.

 
e.
Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are considered as highly liquid investments, including unrestricted short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or with a maturity of more than three months, but which are redeemable on demand without penalty and which form part of the Group's cash management.

f.
Allowance for doubtful accounts:

The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined in respect of specific debts whose collection, in the opinion of the Company's management, is doubtful. The Company also recognizes a provision for groups of customers that are collectively assessed for impairment based on their credit risk characteristics. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.

 
g.
Inventories:

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated selling costs.

Cost of inventories is determined as follows:

Raw and auxiliary materials - at cost of purchase using the first-in, first-out method.

Work in progress - on the basis of the first-in, first-out, labor and other direct and indirect manufacturing costs.

Finished goods - on the basis of the first-in, first-out, labor and other direct and indirect manufacturing costs.

The Group periodically evaluates the condition and age of inventories and makes provisions for slow-moving inventories accordingly.

 
h.
The operating cycle:

The Company's normal operating cycle is one year. Accordingly, current assets and current liabilities include items that are expected to be sold within one year. Items that are expected to be sold over a period exceeding one year are classified in the balance sheet under non-current assets and liabilities.

 
i.
Financial instruments:

Financial assets:

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, except for investments at fair value through profit or loss in respect of which transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss.

MICRONET LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
After initial recognition, the accounting treatment of investments in financial assets is based on their classification into one of the following four categories:

 
1.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

The Group has financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprising financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value and the respective changes are recorded in profit or loss.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, if they form part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together to earn short-term profits or if they are derivatives not designated as hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.

 
2.
Loans and receivables:

The Company has loans and receivables that are financial assets (non-derivative) with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, short-term receivables (such as trade and other receivables) are measured based on their terms, normally at face value. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the systematic amortization process.

Financial liabilities:

 
1.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost:

Loans and interest-bearing borrowings are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs (such as loan raising costs). After initial recognition, loans and interest-bearing borrowings are measured based on their terms at amortized cost using the effective interest method taking into account directly attributable transaction costs. Short-term borrowings (such as trade and other payables) are measured based on their terms, normally at face value. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the financial liability is derecognized as well as through the systematic amortization process.

 
2.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities classified as held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

 
A - 16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Fair value:

The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined by reference to market prices at the end of the reporting period.

Offsetting financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Hybrid financial instruments:

Convertible debentures that are linked to the Israeli CPI contain two components: the conversion component and the debt component. The conversion component is also classified as a financial liability. The debenture is split into two liabilities whereby the conversion component is calculated upon initial recognition as a financial derivative at fair value and the difference between the consideration received for the convertible debentures and the fair value of the conversion component is attributed to the debt component. Direct transaction costs are allocated between the conversion component and the debt component based on the allocation of the consideration to each component, as above, and the amount allocated to the conversion component is recorded immediately in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, the conversion component is accounted for as a financial derivative and measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recorded as finance income or expense in profit or loss. After initial recognition, the debt component is classified as described above in financial liabilities at amortized cost and presented in the statement of financial position as either a current or non-current liability based on the repayment dates in cash, even if the terms of the instrument allow for the settlement of the liability at any time by issuing the Company's equity instruments.

Derecognition of financial instruments:

Financial assets:

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the Company has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or assumes an obligation to pay the cash flows in full without material delay to a third party and has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Financial liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, that is when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. A financial liability is extinguished when the debtor (the Group):

 
·
discharges the liability by paying in cash, other financial assets, goods or services; or
 
·
is legally released from the liability.

Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost:

The Group examines at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence of impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost. The objective evidence regarding debt instruments, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments carried at amortized cost exists when one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, including liquidity difficulty and default in interest or principal payments. The amount of the loss recorded in profit or loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not yet been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate is the current effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account (see allowance for doubtful accounts above). In a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss is reversed if the recovery of the asset can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. The amount of the reversal, up to the amount of any previous impairment, is recorded in profit or loss.

 
j.
Leases:

The criteria for classifying leases as finance or operating leases depend on the substance of the agreements and are made at the inception of the lease in accordance with the following principles as set out in IAS 17.

The Group as lessee:

 
1.
Finance leases:

Finance leases transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset. The Company classifies the lease of lands from the Israel Lands Administration ("the Administration") as finance leases. At the commencement of the lease term, the leased assets are measured at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments.

 
A - 18

 

MICRONET LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Pursuant to an amendment to IAS 17, the classification of a lease of land should be evaluated by reference to the general guidance in IAS 17, which addresses the classification of a lease as finance or operating, as of the date the original agreement with the Administration was signed taking into account that land normally has an indefinite economic life. Accordingly, a lease of land from the Administration should be evaluated by comparing the present value of the amount reported as prepaid operating lease expense and the fair value of the land and if said amount substantially reflects the fair value, the lease should be classified as a finance lease.

For accounting purposes, the Group reassessed the classification of land from the Administration which is classified as owner-occupied property on the basis of information existing at the inception of the lease and as a result thereof, it was concluded that the lease of land is a finance lease.

The Company did not recognize an asset and a liability in respect of the future payments that will be due upon the exercise of the option to extend the lease period since these payments will be based on the fair value of the properties on the date of future exercise and represent contingent rent, which according to IAS 17 should not be taken into consideration.

 
2.
Operating leases:

Lease agreements are classified as an operating lease if they do not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Lease payments are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 
k.
Property, plant and equipment:

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including directly attributable costs, less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and excluding day-to-day servicing expenses. Cost includes spare parts and auxiliary equipment that can be used only in connection with the machinery and equipment.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets at annual rates as follows:

NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term (including the extension option held by the Group and intended to be exercised) and the expected life of the improvement.

The useful life, depreciation method and residual value of an asset are reviewed at least each year-end and any changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate. As for testing the impairment of property, plant and equipment, see m below.

Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized. An asset is derecognized on disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from its use. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of the asset (determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount in the financial statements) is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

 
l.
Intangible assets:

Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at their cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

According to management's assessment, intangible assets have a finite useful life. The assets are amortized over their useful life using the straight-line method and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for prospectively as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization of intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognized in profit or loss.

The useful life of intangible assets is as follows:

   
Years
     
Computer software
 
3
Other
 
3

Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss.

Software:

The Group's assets include computer systems comprising hardware and software. Software forming an integral part of the hardware to the extent that the hardware cannot function without the programs installed on it is classified as property, plant and equipment. In contrast, software that adds functionality to the hardware is classified as an intangible asset.

 
m.
Impairment of non-financial assets:

The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of the carrying amount of non-financial assets (property, plant and equipment and intangible assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable. If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. In measuring value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

An impairment loss of an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Reversal of an impairment loss, as above, shall not be increased above the lower of the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years and its recoverable amount. The reversal of impairment loss of an asset presented at cost is recognized in profit or loss.

 
n.
Investment grants:

Investment grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and the Company will comply with the attached conditions. Israeli Government investment grants related to assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the assets.

Investment grants received from the Singapore-Israel Industrial R&D Foundation ("the Foundation") as support for a research and development project (which grants include an obligation to pay to the Foundation royalties that are conditional on future sales arising from the project) are recognized as a liability upon receipt if future economic benefits are expected from the project that will result in royalty-bearing sales. If no such economic benefits are expected, the grants are recognized as a reduction of the related research and development expenses. In that event, the royalty obligation is treated as contingent liability in accordance with IAS 37.

 
A - 21

 
 
MICRONET LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates, based on its best estimate of future sales, whether there is reasonable assurance that the liability recognized, in whole or in part, will not be repaid (since the Company will not be required to pay royalties). If there is such reasonable assurance, the appropriate amount of the liability is derecognized and recorded in profit or loss as a reduction of research and development expenses. If the estimate of future sales indicates that there is no such reasonable assurance, the appropriate amount of the liability that reflects expected future royalty payments is recognized with a corresponding adjustment to research and development expenses.

Grants received on or after January 1, 2009, which are recognized as a liability, are accounted for as forgivable loans, in accordance with IAS 20 (Revised), pursuant to the provisions of IAS 39, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". Accordingly, when the liability for the loan is first recognized, it is measured at fair value using a discount rate that reflects a market rate of interest. The difference between the amount of the grants received and the fair value of the liability is accounted for upon recognition of the liability as an investment grant and recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses. Royalty payments are treated as a reduction of the liability.

 
o.
Taxes on income:

Taxes on income in profit or loss comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. The tax results in respect of current taxes or deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they arise from items which are recognized in other comprehensive income or equity. In such cases, the tax effect is also recognized in the relevant item in other comprehensive income or equity.

 
1.
Current taxes:

The current tax liability is measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period as well as adjustments required in connection with the tax liability in respect of previous years.

 
2.
Deferred taxes:

Deferred taxes are computed in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the taxes are reversed in profit or loss or other comprehensive income, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred taxes in profit or loss represent the changes in the carrying amount of these balances during the reporting period, excluding changes attributable to items recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity.

MICRONET LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is not probable that they will be utilized. Also, temporary differences (such as carryforward losses) for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized are reassessed and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that their recoverability has become probable. Any resulting reduction or reversal is recognized in the line item, "taxes on income".

All deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented in the balance sheet as non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively. Deferred taxes are offset in the balance sheet if there is a legally enforceable right to offset a current tax asset against a current tax liability and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxpayer and the same taxation authority.

 
p.
Share-based payment transactions:

The Company's employees and other service providers are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

Equity-settled transactions:
 
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at grant date. The fair value is determined using a standard option pricing model, additional details are given in Note 20. In estimating fair value, the vesting conditions (consisting of service conditions and performance conditions other than market conditions) are not taken into account. The only conditions taken into account in estimating fair value are market conditions and non-vesting conditions.

As for other service providers, the cost of the transactions is measured at the fair value of the goods or services received as consideration for equity instruments. In cases where the fair value of the goods or services received as consideration of equity instruments cannot be measured, they are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in profit or loss, together with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period which the service conditions are to be satisfied, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award ("the vesting period"). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or income recognized in profit or loss represents the change in the cumulative expense recognized at the end of the reporting period.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.

NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

If the Company modifies the conditions on which equity-instruments were granted, an additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee at the modification date.

If a grant of an equity instrument is cancelled, it is accounted for as if it had vested on the cancellation date, and any expense not yet recognized for the grant is recognized immediately.

 
q.
Employee benefit liabilities:

The Company has several employee benefit plans:

 
1.
Short-term employee benefits:

Short-term employee benefits include salaries, paid annual leave, paid sick leave, recreation and social security contributions and are recognized as expenses as the services are rendered. A liability in respect of a cash bonus or a profit-sharing plan is recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to make such payment as a result of past service rendered by an employee and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

 
2.
Post-employment benefits:

The plans are normally financed by contributions to insurance companies and classified as defined contribution plans or as defined benefit plans.

The Company operates a defined benefit plan in respect of severance pay pursuant to the Severance Pay Law. According to the Law, employees are entitled to severance pay upon dismissal or retirement. The liability for termination of employee-employer relation is measured using the projected unit credit method. The actuarial assumptions include rates of employee turnover and future salary increases based on the estimated timing of payment. The amounts are presented based on discounted expected future cash flows using a discount rate determined by reference to yields on Israeli Government bonds with a term that matches the estimated term of the benefit obligation.

In respect of its severance pay obligation to certain of its employees, the Company makes current deposits in pension funds and insurance companies ("the plan assets"). Plan assets comprise assets held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the Group's own creditors and cannot be paid directly to the Group.

The liability for employee benefits presented in the balance sheet presents the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of the plan assets, less past service costs and any unrecognized actuarial gains and losses.

 
A - 24

 
 
MICRONET LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized according to the "corridor" method. The Group only recognizes the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period that exceed 10% of the greater of:

 
·
the present value of the defined employee benefit obligation at the beginning of the period; or

 
·
the fair value of the plan assets at the beginning of the period.

The amount recognized in profit or loss for the period is the above amount for each individual plan divided by the expected average remaining working lives of the employees.

 
3.
Termination benefits:

Employee termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company has committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to terminate employees before the normal retirement date according to a detailed formal plan.

 
r.
Revenue recognition:

Revenues are recognized in profit or loss when the revenues can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received less any trade discounts, volume rebates and returns.

The specific criteria for revenue recognition for the following types of revenues are:

Revenues from the sale of goods:

Revenues from the sale of goods are recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the seller no longer retains continuing managerial involvement. The delivery date is usually the date on which ownership passes.

Revenues from the rendering of services:

Revenues from the rendering of warranty services are recognized on a proportionate basis over the period of the service agreement or once the service is performed and in certain cases after compliance with the customer's acceptance terms.

NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Interest income:

Interest income on financial assets is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method.

Revenues from software arrangements:

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of software only after the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the software have been transferred to the buyer for which a necessary, but not sufficient condition, is delivery of the software, either physically or electronically, or providing the right to use or permission to make copies, of the software. The Company recognizes revenues from providing software related services when the outcome can be measured reliably by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period. If the services consist of a number of activities that are not defined over a specified period of time, revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the specified period, unless there is evidence that some other method better represents the stage of completion.

Revenues from dividends:

Revenues from dividends from equity investments not accounted for at equity are recognized when the right to receive the dividends is established.

Customer discounts:

Current customer discounts are recognized in the financial statements when granted and are deducted from sales.

 
s.
Cost of sales and supplier discounts:

Cost of sales includes expenses for loss, storage and conveyance of inventories to the end point of sale. Cost of sales also includes provisions for write-downs of inventories, inventory write offs and provisions for slow-moving inventories.

Discounts are deducted from cost of purchase when the conditions entitling to those discounts are satisfied. The discounts are attributed to existing inventories and to cost of sales.

 
t.
Finance income and expenses:
 
Finance income comprises interest income on amounts invested, revenues from dividends, changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, exchange rate gains and gains on hedges recognized in profit or loss. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method. Revenues from dividends are recognized when the Group's right to receive the payment is established. If the dividend is received on quoted shares, the Group recognizes dividend revenue on the ex-date.

Finance expenses comprise expenses in respect of interest, linkage and discount amortization on debentures issued by the Company, changes in the time value in respect of provisions and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Gains and losses on exchange rate differences are reported on a net basis.

 
u.
Operating segments:

An operating segment is a component of the Group that meets the following three criteria:

 
1.
is engaged in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses relating to intragroup transactions;

 
2.
whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and

 
3.
for which separate financial information is available.

 
v.
Earnings (loss) per share:

Earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Basic earnings (loss) per share only include shares that were actually outstanding during the period. Potential Ordinary shares (convertible securities such as employee options) are only included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share when their conversion decreases earnings per share or increases loss per share from continuing operations. Further, potential Ordinary shares that are converted during the period are included in diluted earnings per share only until the conversion date and from that date in basic earnings (loss) per share.

 
w.
Provisions:

A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are measured according to the estimated future cash flows discounted using a pre-tax interest rate that reflects the market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, those risks specific to the liability.

IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure:

In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 32 ("the amendments to IAS 32") regarding the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The amendments to IAS 32 clarify, among others, the meaning of "currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off" ("the right of set-off"). Among others, the amendments to IAS 32 prescribe that the right of set-off must be legally enforceable not only during the ordinary course of business of the parties to the contract but also in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of one of the parties. The amendments to IAS 32 also state that in order for the right of set-off to be currently available, it must not be contingent on a future event, there may not be periods during which the right is not available, or there may not be any events that will cause the right to expire.

Simultaneously in December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7 ("the amendments to IFRS 7") regarding the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. According to the amendments to IFRS 7, the Company is required, among others, to provide disclosure of rights of set-off and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements), the composition of amounts that are set off, and amounts subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that do not meet the offsetting criteria of IAS 32.

The amendments to IAS 32 are to be applied retrospectively in financial statements for periods beginning on January 1, 2014, or thereafter. Earlier application is permitted, but disclosure of early adoption is required as well as the disclosures required by the amendments to IFRS 7 as described above. The amendments to IFRS 7 are to be applied retrospectively in financial statements for periods beginning on January 1, 2013, or thereafter.

The Company is evaluating the possible impact of the adoption of the amendments to IAS 32 but is presently unable to assess the effects, if any, on its financial statements. The required disclosures pursuant to the amendments to IFRS 7 will be included in the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure:

The amendment to IFRS 7 ("the Amendment") provides new and expanded disclosure requirements regarding the derecognition of financial assets and regarding unusual transfer activity close to the end of a reporting period. The objective of the Amendment is to assist users of financial statements to assess the risks to which the Company may remain exposed from transfers of financial assets and the effect of these risks on the Company's financial position. The Amendment is designed to enhance the reporting transparency of transactions involving asset transfers, specifically securitization of financial assets. The Amendment is to be applied prospectively in financial statements for periods beginning on January 1, 2012. Earlier application is permitted.

The appropriate disclosures will be included in the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments:

 
1.
In November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments", the first part of Phase 1 of a project to replace IAS 39, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". IFRS 9 ("the Standard") focuses mainly on the classification and measurement of financial assets and it applies to all financial assets within the scope of IAS 39.

According to the Standard, all financial assets (including hybrid contracts with financial asset hosts) should be measured at fair value upon initial recognition. In subsequent periods, debt instruments should be measured at amortized cost only if both of the following conditions are met:

 
-
the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect the contractual cash flows.

 
-
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, upon initial recognition, the Company may designate a debt instrument that meets both of the abovementioned conditions as measured at fair value through profit or loss if this designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency ("accounting mismatch") that would have otherwise arisen.

Subsequent measurement of all other debt instruments and financial assets should be at fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Financial assets that are equity instruments should be measured in subsequent periods at fair value and the changes recognized in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income (loss), in accordance with the election by the Company on an instrument-by-instrument basis (amounts recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be subsequently transferred to profit or loss). Nevertheless, if equity instruments are held for trading, they should be measured at fair value through profit or loss. This election is final and irrevocable. When an entity changes its business model for managing financial assets it shall reclassify all affected financial assets. In all other circumstances, reclassification of financial instruments is not permitted.

The Standard is effective commencing from January 1, 2015. Earlier application is permitted. Upon initial application, the Standard should be applied retrospectively by providing the required disclosure or restating comparative figures, except as specified in the Standard.

 
2.
In October 2010, the IASB issued certain amendments to the Standard regarding derecognition and financial liabilities. According to those amendments, the provisions of IAS 39 will continue to apply to derecognition and to financial liabilities for which the fair value option has not been elected (designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss); that is, the classification and measurement provisions of IAS 39 will continue to apply to financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

The changes arising from these amendments affect the measurement of a liability for which the fair value option has been chosen. Pursuant to the amendments, the amount of the adjustment to the liability's fair value that is attributable to changes in credit risk should be presented in other comprehensive income. All other fair value adjustments should be presented in profit or loss. If presenting the fair value adjustment of the liability arising from changes in credit risk in other comprehensive income creates an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, then that adjustment should also be presented in profit or loss rather than in other comprehensive income.

Furthermore, according to the amendments, derivative liabilities in respect of certain unquoted equity instruments can no longer be measured at cost but rather only at fair value.

The amendments are effective commencing from January 1, 2015. Earlier application is permitted provided that the Company also adopts the provisions of the Standard regarding the classification and measurement of financial assets (the first part of Phase 1). Upon initial application, the amendments are to be applied retrospectively by providing the required disclosure or restating comparative figures, except as specified in the amendments.

As for the effect on the financial statements, the Company believes that IFRS 13 is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.

IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement:

IFRS 13 establishes guidance for the measurement of fair value, to the extent that such measurement is required according to IFRS. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. IFRS 13 also specifies the characteristics of market participants and determines that fair value is based on the assumptions that would have been used by market participants. According to IFRS 13, fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction will take place in the asset's or the liability's principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

IFRS 13 requires an entity to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. IFRS 13 also includes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine fair value as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (valuation techniques that do not make use of observable inputs).

IFRS 13 also prescribes certain specific disclosure requirements.

The new disclosures, and the measurement of assets and liabilities pursuant to IFRS 13, are to be applied prospectively for periods commencing after the Standard's effective date, in financial statements for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2013, or thereafter. Earlier application is permitted. The new disclosures will not be required for comparative data.

The appropriate disclosures will be included in the Company's financial statements upon initial adoption of IFRS 13.

The Company is evaluating the possible impact of the adoption of IFRS 13 but is presently unable to assess the effects, if any, on its financial statements.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment:

Following the general economic deterioration in 2001, the Company concluded that there are indications of impairment of the Company's building. The value in use of the building was calculated based on a real estate appraiser's valuation and based on the Company's management's assessment according to similar assets in terms of age and use which are located in the same area and whose cash flows are inter-dependent. As a result of the adoption of the provisions of IAS 36, in previous years, the Company recorded an impairment loss of the asset included in the statement of comprehensive income under other expenses, net, totaling NIS 1,509 thousand. From the date of the impairment through the date of the financial statements, there has been no additional impairment or significant permanent appreciation of the asset which requires full or partial reversal of the provision for impairment.

The debentures bear interest at a rate of 5.25% a year, are linked to the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") and are convertible on any business day as from November 20, 2006 and until November 20, 2013, into Common shares of NIS 0.1 par value each, registered nominally, except for November 5 through November 20 in the years 2009 to 2012, according to a conversion ratio of NIS 6.5 par value of debentures for one share of NIS 0.1 par value.

The interest accrued on the debentures is paid on November 20 each year and the principal is repaid in five equal payments, which commenced on November 20, 2009.

The debentures are split into two liability components, with the conversion component having been originally calculated at the time of recognition as a financial derivative at a fair value, from an external appraiser, of NIS 5,151 thousand, and the difference of NIS 13,175 thousand, between the consideration that was received for the convertible debentures and the fair value of the conversion component was attributed to the debt component. The direct transaction costs of NIS 1,425 thousand were allocated between the liability conversion component and the liability debt component on the basis of the ratio used in allocating the consideration to each component, as aforesaid, with the amount that was allocated to the liability conversion component being reflected immediately in profit or loss.

Following the initial recognition, the conversion component is treated as a financial derivative and presented at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value are reflected on an ongoing basis in the statement of comprehensive income under financing. Following the initial recognition, the debt component is treated at amortized cost.

The fair value of the conversion component as of December 31, 2011 is NIS 7 thousand.

 
d.
During 2009, the Company purchased NIS 2,900 par value and redeemed NIS 2,182,015 par value of convertible debentures, which had been issued by the Company, for an overall consideration of NIS 3,061 thousand (of which NIS 2,425 thousand was in respect of principal and the rest in respect of interest).

Financial risk factors:

The Group's operations expose it to various financial risk, such as market risk (foreign currency risk, CPI risk, interest risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The decisions in respect of the Group's overall risks management are focused on activities directed at minimizing the negative impact on the Group's financial performance.

The risk management is performed by the Company's management, which identifies and assesses the Group's financial risks. The decisions in respect of the management of the market risks, as aforesaid, and the investments in the liquid means are routinely made by the Company's management and presented from time to time for discussion and decision making by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors provides written principles for the specific policy relating to the investment of the liquid means and the manner of the handling of issues relating to the management of the risks, which are presented to it.

1.
Market risk:
 
 
a)
Foreign currency risk:
 
The Company operates with an international spread and it is exposed to exchange rate risk relating to exposure to various currencies, primarily the dollar and the Euro. Exchange rate risk derives from assets and liabilities that have been recognized, which are denoted in foreign currency, which is not the operating currency, from the net investment in foreign operations and from the fact that most of the Group's income is denoted in dollars or in a currency that is linked thereto (with a small proportion being in Euros and NIS), whereas approximately half of the Group's inputs are purchased at prices that are linked to the rate of the dollar.
 
The Company routinely discusses the issue of its exposure to the exchange rate of the dollar, and it uses hedging against those exposures from time to time. In 2009, the Company made a decision on this issue to execute a forward sale of 1,200 thousand dollars at a predetermined exchange rate for the period between December 2009 and May 2010 in order to reduce the impact of a devaluation of the U.S. dollar on the financial expenses. In 2011, the Company executed a forward sale of $ 2,800 thousand that will be executed at predetermined times and rates over a period of half a year from December 2011 to May 2012.
 
In the period from May 2009 to June 2011, the Company had an investment in foreign operations of an insignificant amount, the net assets of which were exposed to possible changes in the exchange rate of the dollar.
 
The currency exposure is primarily managed by the conversion of foreign currency into NIS close to the time that the consideration is received.
 
 
 
b)
CPI risk:
 
The Group has convertible debentures that have been issued and which are linked to changes in the Israeli CPI. Furthermore, the Company has marketable securities (primarily debentures) which are linked to changes in the CPI. The net amount (surplus of assets over liabilities) of the financial instruments that are linked to the CPI and in respect of which the Group has an exposure to changes in the CPI, is NIS 5,641 thousand, as of December 31, 2011.

MICRONET LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 15:
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)
 
 
 
c)
Interest risk:
 
The Group has an exposure in respect of changes in the market interest rate, which derives from its holding in debentures within the framework of the marketable securities and as a result of the impact of the interest rate on the price of the debentures that the Company issued.
 
An increase in the market interest rate would cause a decrease in the value of the debentures that are held by the Company as marketable securities and a decrease in the interest rate would cause an expense as the result of the increase in the conversion component inherent in the debentures that the Company issued. The Company takes action so as to adjust the average lifetime to redemption of the debentures that it holds as marketable securities to the average lifetime to redemption of the debentures that it issued.
 
 
 
d)
Price risk:
 
The Group has investments in financial instruments that are traded on a stock exchange - shares and debentures. These financial instruments are classified as assets that are measured at fair value through the statement of income, in respect of which the Group has an exposure to risk in respect of fluctuations in the price of the securities, which is determined based on market prices on the stock exchange. The balance of these investments in the financial statements as of December 31, 2011was NIS 18,113 thousand and as of December 31, 2010 it was NIS 31,605 thousand.
 
 
 
2.
Credit risk:
 
 
The Group has credit risk deriving from the making available of unsecured credit to its customers in Israel and abroad. Up to March 2009, the Company's policy was the granting of unsecured credit to its customers in Israel and insuring its overseas customers credit transactions exceeding $ 5,000 through the Israel Credit Insurance Company ("the ICIC").
 
 
From April 2009 and thereafter, the Company's arrangement opposite the ICIC has been discontinued as a result of restrictions and exceptions that the ICIC has placed as a result of the global economic crisis, which included the reduction of the general credit that the ICIC made available to the Company, the reduction and the cancellation of direct credit facilities for the Company's customers and the ICIC's refusal to insure transactions opposite significant customers of the Group. As a result of these restrictions and exceptions, all of the Company's credit to its customers is uninsured.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 15:
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)
 
The Company has set up an internal credit committee that gives specific authorization for the extension of credit to selected overseas customers or selected export transactions. Factors that may cause a concentration of credit risk include the significance of the activities in which the debtors are engaged, such as the sector in which they operate, the geographical region in which their operations are carried out and the level of their financial stability.
 
 
Most of the credit that the Company extends to its customers is at terms of between EOM + 30 and EOM + 60 days. The Company does not demand collateral as security for these debts. The company records an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on factors that affect the credit risk of certain customers, past experience and other information.
 
The Group holds cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, which include significant amounts of shares, Israeli Government bonds and corporate debentures as well as other financial instruments in various highly rated financial institutions in Israel with the investments being spread in different institutions. The Company issued debentures to the public in November 2006. The balance of the debentures that have not been redeemed by the Company is going to be repaid in two equal portions each year on November 20 from 2012 to 2013. This situation exposes the Company to risk in a situation in which companies that have issued debentures that are held by the Company as investments reach a state of insolvency and do not meet their commitments to their debenture holders. As of December 31, 2011, the cash and cash equivalents amounted to NIS 8,337 thousand and the marketable securities amounted to NIS 18,113 thousand (debentures). All of the deposits are deposited in stable financial entities.
 
 
3.
Liquidity risk:
 
The Group is financed by equity, convertible debentures that were issued in November 2006, car leases, a rental agreement and a commitment in respect of an investment grant. The Company is expected to repay the balance of the debentures that it has issued and which have not yet been redeemed in two equal payments in November in each year, as from November 2012. The Group's objective is to maintain the existing ratio between the continuing financing of the debentures that it has issued and its holdings in corporate and other debentures as marketable securities. The Group examines the risk of a shortage of cash by means of annual budgets.

In 2011, the Company executed a forward sale transaction of USD in an overall amount of $ 2,800 thousand, which will be executed over a period of half a year from December 2011 until May 2012 at a pre-determined exchange rate. The objective of the transaction is to hedge against exposure to financing expenses resulting from fluctuations in the exchange rate of the USD. The forward sale transactions is not intended as hedging for cash flows, fair value or the net investment in foreign operations. This derivative is not considered to be hedging from the accounting perspective.

The foreign currency derivatives have been measured at fair value through profit or loss and amounted to a cumulative expense of NIS 193 thousand as of December 31, 2011.

Sensitivity tests and principal work assumptions:

The selected changes in the relevant risk variables were determined based on management's estimate as to reasonable possible changes in these risk variables.

The Company has performed sensitivity tests of principal market risk factors that are liable to affect its reported operating results or financial position. The sensitivity tests present the profit or loss in respect of each financial instrument for the relevant risk variable chosen for that instrument as of each reporting date. The test of risk factors was determined based on the materiality of the exposure of the operating results or financial condition of each risk with reference to the functional currency and assuming that all the other variables are constant.

The sensitivity test for changes in interest rates was performed on the Group's cash and cash equivalent balances.

Listed convertible debentures are linked to the Israeli CPI bearing fixed interest are part of the sensitivity test to changes in the CPI.

The sensitivity tests for listed investments with quoted market price (bid price) were performed on possible changes in these market prices.

Based on the Company's policy, it does not hedge its main exposures to currency. Accordingly, the main currency exposures presented in the sensitivity tables are in respect of the Company's surplus assets over liabilities linked to foreign currency.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Employee benefits consist of post-employment benefits.

 
a.
Post-employment employee benefits:

According to the labor laws and Severance Pay Law in Israel, the Company is required to pay compensation to an employee upon dismissal or retirement or to make current contributions in defined contribution plans pursuant to Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law, as specified below. The Company's liability is accounted for as a benefit after the completion of employment. The computation of the Company's employee benefit liability is made in accordance with a valid employment contract based on the employee's salary and employment term which establish the entitlement to receive the compensation.

The post-employment employee benefits are normally financed by contributions classified as defined benefit plans as detailed below.

 
b.
Defined benefit plans:

The Company accounts for that part of the payment of compensation that is not covered by contributions in defined contribution plans, as above, as a defined benefit plan for which an employee benefit liability is recognized and for which the Company deposits amounts in central severance pay funds and in qualifying insurance policies.

NOTE 17:
TAXES ON INCOME

 
a.
Tax laws applicable to the Company:
 
 
Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985:
 
According to the law, until 2007, the results for tax purposes were adjusted for the changes in the Israeli CPI.
 
In February 2008, the "Knesset" (Israeli parliament) passed an amendment to the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985, which limits the scope of the law starting 2008 and thereafter. Since 2008, the results for tax purposes are measured in nominal values, excluding certain adjustments for changes in the Israeli CPI carried out in the period up to December 31, 2007. Adjustments relating to capital gains such as for sale of property (betterment) and securities continue to apply until disposal. Since 2008, the amendment to the law includes, among others, the cancellation of the inflationary additions and deductions and the additional deduction for depreciation (in respect of depreciable assets purchased after the 2007 tax year).

The Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law"):
 
In accordance with the Law, the Company is entitled to various tax benefits, because of its status as a "beneficiary enterprise", which has been given to part of its operations, within the meaning of that term in the Law. The main benefits under the Law are:
 
The alternative track:
 
Under this track, during the benefit period the Company is entitled to a tax exemption in the first two years and a reduced tax rate of 25% for a period of 5 years in the remaining benefit period (in accordance with the percentage of foreign investments).
 
The basic condition for the receipt of the benefits in this track is that the enterprise contributes to the country's economic growth and is a competitive factor for the Gross Domestic Product ("a competitive enterprise"). In order to comply with this condition, the Law prescribes various requirements regarding industrial enterprises.
 
 
A - 56

 
 
MICRONET LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 17:
TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)
 
As for industrial enterprises, in each tax year during the benefit period, one of the following conditions must be met:
 
 
1.
The industrial enterprise's main field of activity is biotechnology or nanotechnology as approved by the Head of the Administration of Industrial Research and Development, prior to the approval of the relevant program.

 
2.
The industrial enterprise's sales revenues in a specific market during the tax year do not exceed 75% of its total sales for that tax year. A "market" is defined as a separate country or customs territory.

 
3.
At least 25% of the industrial enterprise's overall revenues during the tax year were generated from the enterprise's sales in a specific market with a population of at least 12 million.

Programs under the alternative track approved subsequent to April 1, 2005 are also required to make a minimum qualifying investment. This condition requires an investment in the acquisition of productive assets such as machinery and equipment, which must be carried out within three years. The minimum qualifying investment required for setting up a plant is NIS 300 thousand. As for plant expansion, the minimum qualifying investment is the higher of NIS 300 thousand and an amount equivalent to the "qualifying percentage" of the value of the productive assets.
 
The qualifying percentage of the value of the productive assets is as follows:

The value of productive
assets before the expansion
(NIS in millions)
 
The new proportion that the
required investment bears to the
value of productive assets
     
Up to NIS 140
 
12%
NIS 140 - NIS 500
 
7%
More than NIS 500
 
5%
 
The income qualifying for tax benefits under the alternative track is the taxable income of a company that has met certain conditions as determined by the Law ("a beneficiary company"), and which is derived from an industrial enterprise.
 
The Company has an enterprise expansion program which meets the criteria for a "beneficiary enterprise", in accordance with the Law, in the alternative benefit track.
In respect of expansion programs approved under Amendment No. 60 to the Law, the benefit period starts in the later of the year of election or the first year in which the approved enterprise earns taxable income, provided that 12 years have not passed from the year of election.

If a dividend is distributed out of tax exempt profits, as above, the Company will become liable for tax at the rate applicable to its profits from the beneficiary enterprise in the year in which the income was earned, as if it was not under the alternative track.
 
The above benefits are conditional upon the fulfillment of the conditions stipulated by the Law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of approval for the investments in the approved enterprises, as above. Non-compliance with the conditions may cancel all or part of the benefits and refund of the amount of the benefits, including interest. The managements believe that the Company is meeting the aforementioned conditions.
 
Amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959:
 
In December 2010, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Policy for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011 ("the Amendment"), which prescribes, among others, amendments in the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law"). The Amendment became effective as of January 1, 2011. According to the Amendment, the benefit tracks in the Law were modified and a flat tax rate applies to the Company's entire preferred income under its status as a preferred company with a preferred enterprise. Commencing from the 2011 tax year, the Company will be able to opt to apply (the waiver is non-recourse) the Amendment and from the elected tax year and onwards, it will be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15% (in development area A - 10%), 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% (in development area A - 7%) and in 2015 and thereafter - 12% (in development area A - 6%).

The Company has examined the effect of the adoption of the Amendment on its financial statements, and as of the date of the publication of the financial statements, it has yet to decide whether to adopt the Amendment.
 
The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969:

The Company has the status of an "industrial company", as implied by this law. According to this status and by virtue of regulations published thereunder, the Company is entitled to claim a deduction of accelerated depreciation on equipment used in industrial activities, as determined in the regulations issued under the Inflationary Law. The Company is also entitled to deduct issuance expenses incurred upon the issue of shares over a period of three years.

b.
Tax rates applicable to the Company:

The Israeli corporate tax rate was 26% in 2009, 25% in 2010 and 24% in 2011.
 
A company is taxable on its real capital gains at the corporate tax rate in the year of sale. A temporary provision for 2006-2009 stipulates that the sale of an asset other than a quoted security (excluding goodwill not paid for) that had been purchased prior to January 1, 2003, and sold by December 31, 2009, is subject to corporate tax as follows: the part of the real capital gain that is linearly attributed to the period prior to December 31, 2002 is subject to the corporate tax rate in the year of sale as set forth in the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, and the part of the real capital gain that is linearly attributed to the period from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2009, is subject to tax at a rate of 25%.
 
On December 5, 2011, the Knesset passed the Law for Tax Burden Reform (Legislative Amendments), 2011 ("the Law") which, among others, cancels effective from 2012, the scheduled progressive reduction in the corporate tax rate. The Law also increases the corporate tax rate to 25% in 2012. In view of this increase in the corporate tax rate to 25%, as above, the real capital gain tax rate and the real betterment tax rate were also increased accordingly.
 
The abovementioned change had no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

 
c.
Tax assessments:
 
The Company has been issued tax assessments up to and including the 2004 tax year, however the Company's tax assessments for the tax years up to and including 2005 are considered to be final.
 
Tax assessments in dispute:
 
The Company has been issued tax assessments for the 2006-2009 tax years, according to which it is required to pay additional taxation in an overall amount of NIS 340 thousand. The Company disputes the Tax Authority's claims, which form the basis for the said demand. Accordingly, the Company has filed an objection to these assessments and has recorded a provision in respect of the demand in its financial statements.
 
 
d.
Carryforward losses for tax purposes and other temporary differences:

The Company has business losses and capital losses for tax purposes, which are carried forward to the coming years, amounting to NIS 2,650 thousand as of December 31, 2011. Deferred tax assets of NIS 172 thousand have been recognized in the financial statements in respect of these losses, up to the full offset of the deferred tax liability balance in respect of depreciable fixed assets as of December 31, 2011.

b.
Share-based payment plan to employees and consultants of the Company:

In May 2011, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, Mr. Shlomo Shalev, was granted 1,000,000 non-marketable options, which are exercisable into 1,000,000 Common shares of NIS 0.1 par value each. The exercise price of the options is NIS 1.9338 for each option, which constitutes the fair value of the shares at the time of the signing of the agreement with him.

The options will vest in seven equal quarterly tranches as from March 14, 2011. The options that have vested will be exercisable in the course of the period of the grant agreement and until the earlier of 24 months from the date of the termination of Mr. Shalev's office as Chairman of the Board of Directors or 30 months from the vesting date of the last tranche of the options. The term in accordance with which the calculation has been made is until March 14, 2015.

The following are the data that have been used in the measurement of the fair value of the options at the time of the grant in accordance with the binomial model for costing options in respect of the plan:

Dividend yield on the share (%)
 
0%
Expected volatility of the share prices (%)
 
62.16 – 63.34
Risk-free interest rate (%)
 
Period 1 – 3.61
   
Period 2 – 4.41
   
Period 3 – 4.90
   
Period 4 – 5.31
Expected life of share options (years)
 
3.81
Share price on date of grant (NIS)
 
1.51

The fair value of the options was determined to be NIS 665 thousand at the time of the grant in accordance with the above data.

 
c.
The tax arrangement that applies to the grant of the options to employees and officers is in accordance with section 102(B) of the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961 and the provisions of the Ordinance and the Income Tax Rules (Tax Reliefs on Allocation of Shares to Employees), 2003 apply to them.

Measurement of the fair value of equity-settled share options:

The Company uses the binomial model when estimating the grant date fair value of equity-settled share options. The measurement was made at the grant date of equity-settled share options since the options were granted to employees. For options granted to consultants, the fair value is remeasured as the services are received.
