Exhibit 1
NEWS Client: AMERICAN ISRAELI PAPER MILLS LTD. Agency Contact: PHILIP Y. SARDOFF For Release: IMMEDIATE |
Hadera, Israel, May 14, 2007 American Israeli Paper Mills Ltd. (AMEX:AIP) (the Company or AIPM) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company, its subsidiaries and associated companies is referred to hereinafter as the Group.
Since the Companys share in the earnings of associated companies constitutes a material component in the Companys statement of income (primarily on account of its share in the earnings of Mondi Business Hadera Paper Ltd. (Mondi Hadera) and Hogla-Kimberly Ltd. (H-K)), before the presentation of the consolidated data below, the aggregate data which include the results of all the companies in the AIPM Group (including the associated companies whose results appear in the financial statements under earnings from associated companies), is being presented without considering the rate of holding therein and net of inter- company sales.
Aggregate sales totaled NIS 752.7 million during the reported period, compared with NIS 719.9 million (net of TMM Integrated Recycling Industries Ltd (TMM) that was sold in early 2007) in the corresponding period last year and NIS 699.9 million (net of TMM) in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Aggregate operating profit, totaled NIS 30.4 million during the reported period, compared with NIS 37.4 million (net of TMM) in the corresponding period last year and NIS 15.5 million (net of TMM) in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Aggregate sales from activity in Israel totaled NIS 708.2 million during the reported period, compared with NIS 659.1 million (net of TMM) in the corresponding period last year and NIS 657.3 million (net of TMM) in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The aggregate operating profit in Israel totaled NIS 57.3 million during the reported period, compared with NIS 46.5 million in the corresponding period last year (net of TMM) and NIS 40.8 million (net of TMM) in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The consolidated data set forth below does not include the results of operation of the associated companies: Mondi Hadera, H-K and Carmel Containers Systems Ltd., which are included in the Companys share in results of associated companies.
Consolidated sales totaled NIS 136.6 million during the reported period, compared with NIS 131.5 million in the corresponding period last year and NIS 134.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Operating profit totaled NIS 16.9 million during the reported period, compared with NIS 13.3 million in the corresponding period last year and NIS 8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Net loss amounted to NIS -3.5 million during the reported period, compared with net profit of NIS 7.7 million in the corresponding period last year and net profit of NIS 14.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Net loss in the first quarter of 2007 was affected by the growth in the Companys share in the losses of the operations in Turkey (KCTR), amounting to NIS 19.1 million, as compared with the corresponding quarter last year.
Net profit in the fourth quarter of 2006 included capital gains of NIS 28.3 million from the sale of real estate.
Basic loss per share totaled NIS (0.87) in the reported period, compared with basic earnings of NIS 1.92 per share in the corresponding period last year.
The inflation rate during the reported period amounted to a negative rate of -0.2%, as compared with an inflation rate of 0.6% in the corresponding period last year.
The exchange rate between the NIS and the US dollar was revaluated by 1.7% during the reported period (January-March 2007), as compared with a devaluation of 1.3% in the corresponding period last year.
Mr. Avi Brener, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said that the accelerated growth rate (5%) of the Israeli market continued in the first quarter of the year as well, following the trend of high growth that was recorded last year. The growth is expressed by greater demand, primarily in private consumption, along with lower unemployment rates, the continuing bullish behavior of the capital markets and a stronger local currency (NIS), especially vis-à-vis the US dollar.
Following two consecutive years of rising energy prices, fuel prices began to drop at the end of 2006. This decrease resulted in savings of NIS 5 million in the Groups energy costs. This trend was reversed in April this year as fuel prices began increasing again.
Raw material prices continued to rise in the first quarter of the year, although due to the rise of the NIS against the dollar during those periods, the impact of this NIS rise in raw material prices on the financial results was moderated, and affected the aggregate operating profit in the first quarter of the year, as compared with the corresponding period last year by NIS 6 million.
The recent economic recovery in the paper industry in Europe is expressed by a better balance between the supply and the demand for paper and resulted in higher paper prices and in a reduction of the imports into Israel. Consequently, the
2
Group raised the selling prices of paper especially packaging paper and partially also those of fine and printing paper.
The anticipated continuation of this trend over the next several quarters will render it possible to continue to raise prices and compensate for the erosion in profitability over the past several years, due to the rising energy and raw material prices.
The Company is continuing to examine and promote the project for the establishment of a co-generation plant in Hadera, using natural gas. The conversion of the Companys energy generation facilities from the use of fuel oil to natural gas will be completed with the completion of the installation of the natural gas pipeline to Hadera, postpones due to delays that lie outside the control of the Company, planned for the third quarter of 2007, and will enable significant savings in fuel costs, estimated at $8.5 million per annum, due to the significant differences between the current prices of fuel oil and gas, and will enhance the Groups competitiveness and profitability.
In the first quarter of 2007, Kimberly Clark Turkey (KCTR) a H-K subsidiary continued to implement its Global Business Plan (GBP), which was formulated together with the international partner, Kimberly Clark. The plan is designed to introduce Kimberly Clarks international brands into the Turkish market, on the basis of local manufacturing. If the plan will be fully implemented, KCTR would grow into a dominant and profitable company by 2015, with annual sales of approximately $300 million. The Company is continuing to implement the strategic business plan and is expected to continue to grow and gradually reduce the losses incurred by the investment in penetrating into this market which holds great potential for the Company.
The financial expenses totaled NIS 6.2 million during the reported period, compared with NIS 4.2 million in the corresponding period last year and NIS 9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, mainly due to the increase in the interest-bearing liabilities of the Company and the revaluation that was recorded in the NIS-U.S. dollar exchange rate.
The Companys share in the earnings (losses) of associated companies totaled NIS (10.8) million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 1.3 million in the corresponding period last year and as compared with NIS (10.9) million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The following principal changes were recorded in the Companys share in the earnings of associated companies, in relation to the corresponding period last year:
| The Companys share in the net profit of Mondi Hadera (49.9%) increased by NIS 1.5 million, mostly resulting from the companys improved profitability, from an operating loss of NIS 0.8 million in the corresponding period last year to an operating profit of NIS 1.7 million in the first quarter this year as a result of the improved gross margin. The improvement was rendered possible as a result of the recovery in the European paper industry, the decrease in energy prices and the quantitative growth in sales on the domestic market. Moreover, a decrease was recorded in financial expenses on account of the erosion of dollar-denominated liabilities due to the revaluation of the NIS by 1.7% in the first quarter of the year, as compared with a devaluation of 1.3% in the corresponding quarter last year. |
3
| The Companys share in the net earnings of H-K in Israel (49.9%) increased by NIS 4.9 million. The operating profit of H-K from its activities in Israel grew from NIS 29.0 million to NIS 36.1 million this year as a result of the growth in sales. Record sales were recorded this quarter, resulting, among others, from the timing of the Passover holiday in early April, improvement in selling prices, increased share of premium products out of the total basket of products, and streamlining. On the other hand, the higher raw material prices served to slightly offset the improved profitability. Net profit of H-K in Israel, was affected in the corresponding period last year from the non-recurring tax expenses amounting to NIS 4.5 million (our share was approximately NIS 2.2 million). |
| The Companys share in the losses of KCTR Turkey (formerly Ovisan) (49.9%) grew by NIS 19.1 million, primarily on account of the sharp increase in the operating loss (NIS 18 million in relation to the corresponding quarter last year), originating primarily from expenses associated with the continuance of the launch of premium KC products in the Turkish market (Kotex® and Huggies®) in the second quarter last year. Advertising costs, sales promotion and registration fees to the retail chains, are allocated to profit and loss, on a current bases. During the first quarter this year, a part of the tax asset that was recorded in Turkey in the last few years was reduced, in the amount of NIS 12.3 million ($2.9 million) due to the limitation on transfer losses, expired at the end of five years. Our share in the reduction is approximately NIS 6.1 million. |
| The Companys share in the net profit of Carmel Group (26.25%) decreased by NIS 1.3 million, primarily attributed to the decrease in the operating profit, despite the quantitative growth in sales. The erosion is primarily associated with the sharp rise in raw material prices, which was not fully compensated for by the raising of selling prices. Moreover, the net profit last year included capital gains of NIS 3.9 million from the sale of a real-estate asset in Netanya. Net of the Companys share in the capital gains, the Companys share decreased by NIS 0.3 million. |
| In the corresponding quarter last year, the Companys share in the earnings of associated companies included the Companys share in the losses of TMM, in the sum of NIS -1.9 million (including NIS 0.5 million as cumulative effect at the beginning of the period). As mentioned above, the Company sold its holdings in TMM in February 2007 and this item is therefore not included in the Companys share in the earnings of associated companies this year. |
A total of 4,434 shares were issued during the reported period (0.1% dilution), on account of the exercise of 11,950 options warrants as part of the Companys senior employee option plan.
On April 15, 2007, the General Meeting of the shareholders approved the appointment of Brightman Almagor & Co as external auditors of the Company for the year 2007. Brightman Almagor & Co will replace Keselman & Keselman & Co that served as external auditors of the Company since 1954.
The Board of Directors decided that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will be held at the registered office of the Company on June 17, 2007. If the meeting is postponed, it will be held on June 24, 2007.

On May 13, 2007, The Board of Directors approved the Employment Agreement and remuneration of Mr. Avi Brener, the CEO of the Company. The main principals of the Agreement are: monthly salary of NIS 95,000 (approximately $22,864) linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index and a yearly bonus in the amount of between 6-9 salaries, subject to the discretion of the Board. In addition, upon the termination of employment of the CEO he will receive, in addition to the provisions for severance payments, a retirement grant payment in an aggregate amount equal to one-months salary for each year in which he was employed by the Group (from August 1988).

May 13, 2007
We are honored to present the consolidated financial statements of the American Israeli Paper Mills Ltd. Group (AIPM or the Company) for the first three months of 2007. The Company, its consolidated subsidiaries and its associated companies is referred to hereinafter as: The Group.
A. | Description of the Corporations Business |
1. | Company Description |
AIPM deals in the manufacture and sale of packaging paper, in the recycling of paper waste and in the marketing of office supplies through subsidiaries. The Company also holds associated companies that deal in the manufacture and marketing of fine paper, in the manufacture and marketing of household paper products, hygiene products, disposable diapers and complementary kitchen products, corrugated board containers and packaging for consumer goods. |
The Companys securities are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). |
2. | The Business Environment |
The accelerated growth rate (5%) of the Israeli market continued in the first quarter of the year as well, following the trend of high growth that was recorded last year. The growth is expressed by greater demand, primarily in private consumption, along with lower unemployment rates, the continuing bullish behavior of the capital markets and a stronger local currency (NIS), especially vis-à-vis the US dollar. |
Following two consecutive years of rising energy prices (aggregate 70% rise in diesel prices over the years 2005-2006), fuel prices began to drop at the end of 2006. The prices of the fuel oil that is used by the Group, were approximately 22% lower in the first quarter of 2007 as compared with the prices in the corresponding quarter last year. This decrease resulted in savings of NIS 5 million in the Groups energy costs. This trend was reversed in April this year as fuel prices began increasing again, with current fuel oil prices being 20% higher than those in the first quarter of the year. |
Raw material prices continued to rise in the first quarter of the year primarily those of pulp and packaging paper. Pulp prices rose by an average of 17% in dollar terms as compared with the corresponding quarter last year, although due to the rise of the NIS against the dollar (by an average of 10%) during those periods, the impact of this NIS rise in raw material prices on the financial results was moderated. |
The impact of the higher raw material prices on the aggregate operating profit, defined as follows in the first quarter of the year, as compared with the corresponding period last year amounted to NIS 6 million. |
2
The recent economic recovery in the paper industry in Europe is expressed by a better balance between the supply and the demand for paper and resulted in higher paper prices and in a reduction of the imports into Israel. Consequently, the Group raised the selling prices of paper especially packaging paper and partially also those of fine and printing paper. |
The anticipated continuation of this trend over the next several quarters will render it possible to continue to raise prices and compensate for the erosion in profitability over the past several years, due to the rising energy and raw material prices. |
3. | General |
Activity in Israel |
The Group is continuing to implement various measures that are intended to improve profitability, both by raising the selling prices derived from the improved trading and competition conditions as well as by continuing to implement significant efficiency measures. |
As part of the said operations, the Company is initiating measures to improve the synergy between the Group companies, so as to allow for efficiency and cost-cutting, including energy and raw material costs. This has led to the reorganization of the organizational structure of the purchasing division and to a higher professional level of the purchasing managers, with the intention of maximizing efficiencies and savings, while further enhancing synergy within the Group. The said measures also include the anticipated savings from the completion of the planned transition to the use of natural gas at the Hadera plant, as described below. |
At
the same time, the Group is continuing to implement organization-wide processes that
include, among other processes, the Talent Management program intended to allow for the
development of managers at the Group and to create a management reserve. The operations
to improve the marketing approach at B2B companies is progressing gradually, with the
intention of creating advantages for the subsidiaries each in its own area of
operations versus the competition. This will be implemented through a
customer-centric approach, understanding customer needs and measuring their value for the
company, as a central asset in creating loyalty while improving the premium. The Kimberley-Clarks global Centerlining Program is continuing, aimed at improving production- line efficiency (applying a methodology that creates a common basis for all the factors that influence machine operations, such as engineering, maintenance, technology and operations while continuously measuring variance of the selected parameters, in order to create a process of continuous improvement in quality and costs). These programs have already borne the first fruits in 2006 and the Company is continuing to implement the plans at all Group companies in order to exploit their full potential in the coming years. |
The measures mentioned above, that were initiated by the Group during the reported period, enabled a significant reduction of the influence of decrease in raw material prices, on the financial outcomes. |
3
As
part of the Companys efforts to cut production costs and achieve further
improvements in environmental quality, the Company is continuing to promote the project
for the establishment of a co-generation plant in Hadera, using natural gas. Initially,
the company has taken steps to convert its energy generation facilities from the use of
fuel oil to natural gas. This process will be completed with the completion of the
installation of the natural gas pipeline to Hadera , postpones due to delays that lie
outside the control of the Company, planned for the third quarter of 2007. Considerable
progress has been made in the laying of the pipeline that will reach the plants
premises. In this capacity, the Company signed an agreement in London on July 29, 2005, with the Tethys Sea Group, for the purchase of natural gas. The gas that will be purchased is intended to fulfill the Companys requirements in the coming years, for the operation of the existing energy co-generation plants using cogeneration at the Hadera plant, that will be converted for the use of natural gas, instead of the current use of fuel oil. The overall financial volume of the transaction totals $35 million over the term of the agreement (5 years from the initial supply of gas, but no later than July 1, 2011). The transition from fuel oil to gas will enable significant savings in fuel costs, estimated at $8.5 million per annum, due to the significant differences between the current prices of fuel oil and gas, and will enhance the Groups competitiveness and profitability. |
The Strategic Investment in Turkey |
In the first quarter of 2007, Kimberly Clark Turkey (KCTR) a Hogla Kimberly subsidiary continued to implement its Global Business Plan (GBP), which was formulated together with the international partner, Kimberly Clark. The plan is designed to introduce Kimberly Clarks international brands into the Turkish market, on the basis of local manufacturing. If the plan will be fully implemented, KCTR would grow into a dominant and profitable company by 2015, with annual sales of approximately $300 million. |
The production lines in the local plant were upgraded in the past two years, to support the manufacture of advanced Huggies® diapers of high quality and at a low cost in relation to the other Kimberly Clark plants around the world. |
Approximately a year ago, KCTR launched Kimberly Clarks international brands Huggies®and Kotex® in Turkey and it is continuing its advertising and sales promotion efforts in order to empower the process and increase the volume of trials and sales. |
The market share of Huggies® diapers is constantly growing and the most recent consumer studies indicate that the brand is clearly growing stronger in terms of both customer awareness and perceived quality. |
As part of the strategic plan, KCTR intends to continue its marketing and sales promotion efforts throughout the year, while launching a new generation of products that will support the establishment of the brands and the creation of customer loyalty. |
A strategic cooperation agreement was signed in the first quarter of the year between the Company KCTR and Unilever in Turkey. Pursuant to this agreement, Unilever will conduct the sales, distribution and collection on behalf of KCTR in the entire Turkish market, except for nationwide supermarket chains |
4
that
represent 30% of the market potential, wherein KCTR intends to continue to operate
directly. The agreement will provide significant leverage for promoting the plans objectives, for expanding distribution, creating more trials and continuing the introduction and penetration of the Kimberly Clark international brands into Turkey. This will all be accomplished while realizing significant savings in KCTRs current selling and distribution expenses. The change in the pace of sales and scope of distribution in the Turkish market is expected to occur in the next few months. |
In parallel, KCTR is continuing its penetration efforts, while incurring significant advertising costs and initiating aggressive price campaigns against the fierce competition. All the advertising costs, sales promotion and registration fees to the retail chains, are allocated to profit and loss, on a current bases. |
In
view of the above, KCTRs operating loss in the first quarter of the year amounted
to NIS 27 million ($6.4 million). The loss included a non-recurring expenditure of NIS 6
million ($1.5 million) on account of the closing of commercial agreements with the
previous distributors, following the implementation of the agreement with Unilever, and
also on account of the upgrading of brands on the Turkish market. See also the chapter
regarding Companys Share in Earnings of associated companies. To conclude, the Company is continuing to implement the strategic business plan and is expected to continue to grow and gradually reduce the losses incurred by the investment in penetrating into this market which holds great potential for the Company. |
General |
During the reported period (January-March 2007), the exchange rate of the NIS in relation to the US dollar was revaluated by approximately 1.7%, as compared with a devaluation of 1.3% in the corresponding period last year (January-March 2006). |
The inflation rate during the reported period amounted to a negative rate of -0.2%, as compared with an inflation rate of 0.6% in the corresponding period last year. |
B. | Results of Operations |
1. | Aggregate Data |
Since the Companys share in the earnings of associated companies constitutes a material component in the companys statement of income (primarily on account of its share in the earnings of Mondi Business Hadera Paper Ltd. [Mondi Hadera] and Hogla-Kimberly Ltd.), before the presentation of the consolidated data below, the aggregate data which include the results of all the companies in the AIPM Group (including the associated companies whose results appear in the financial statements under earnings from associated companies), is being presented without considering the rate of holding therein and net of mutual sales. |
Regarding the consolidated data, see Section (2) below. |
5
a) | Aggregate Data from activity in Israel |
The aggregate sales from activity in Israel amounted to NIS 708.2 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 659.1 million (net of TMM Integrated Recycling Industries Ltd (TMM)) in the corresponding period last year (7.4% growth) and as compared with NIS 657.3 million (net of TMM) in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
The Company sold its holdings in TMM (43.02% directly and indirectly) at the beginning of 2007, as part of an agreement with Veolia Israel and as part of a tender offer for the acquisition of the shares of TMM from the public by Veolia Israel. The aggregate sales and operating profit figures for the preceding year are consequently presented net of the TMM results. |
The aggregate operating profit in Israel amounted to NIS 57.3 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 46.5 million in the corresponding period last year (net of TMM that was sold in early 2007) representing growth of 23.2% and as compared with NIS 40.8 million (net of TMM) in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
The significant improvement in the operating income in Israel is attributed to the raising of prices in most of the Groups areas of operation, the growth in quantitative sales and the continuing efficiency measures. This improvement was partially offset by the rise in raw material prices. |
b) | Aggregate Data (including Turkey) |
The aggregate sales amounted to NIS 752.7 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 719.9 million (net of TMM) in the corresponding period last year and NIS 699.9 million (net of TMM) in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
The aggregate operating profit amounted to NIS 30.4 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 37.4 million (net of TMM) in the corresponding period last year and NIS 15.5 million (net of TMM) in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the operations in Turkey see Section C7 below Companys share in the earnings of associated companies. |
2. | Consolidated Data |
Excluding the results of operation of the associated companies: Mondi Hadera, Hogla-Kimberly and Carmel. |

3. | Net Profit and Earnings Per Share |
The loss amounted to NIS -3.5 million during the reported period, as compared with net profit of NIS 7.7 million in the corresponding period last year and net profit of NIS 14.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
The loss in the first quarter of the year was affected by the growth in the Companys share in the losses of the operations in Turkey (KCTR), amounting to NIS 19.1 million, as compared with the corresponding quarter last year (see above The Strategic Investment in Turkey and chapter C7, below). |
The net profit in the fourth quarter of 2006 included capital gains of NIS 28.3 million from the sale of real estate. |
Basic
loss per share amounted to NIS (0.87) per share (($0.21) per share) in the reported
period, as compared with basic earnings of NIS 1.92 per share ($0.41 per share) in the
corresponding period last year. Diluted loss per share amounted to NIS (0.87) per share (($0.21) per share) in the reported period, as compared with diluted earnings of NIS 1.91 per share ($0.41 per share) in the corresponding period last year. |
C. | Analysis of Operations and Profitability |
The analysis set forth below is based on the consolidated data. |
1. | Sales |
The
consolidated sales amounted to NIS 136.6 million during the reported period, as compared
with NIS 131.5 million in the corresponding period last year and NIS 134.5 million in the
fourth quarter of 2006. Sales in the packaging paper and recycling activity amounted to NIS 107.2 million in the first quarter of the year, as compared with NIS 100.2 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The growth in the packaging paper and recycling turnover originated primarily from the raising of the selling prices of various products. Sales in the marketing of office supplies activity amounted to NIS 29.4 million in the first quarter of the year, as compared with NIS 31.2 million last year. Most of the decrease in sales attributed to not winning the General Accountant tender, in early 2007. |
2. | Cost of Sales |
The cost of sales amounted to NIS 104.1 million, representing 76.2% of sales, during the reported period, as compared with NIS 103.8 million, representing 79.0% of sales, in the corresponding period last year and as compared with NIS 106.7 million, representing 79.4% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
The gross margin as a percentage of sales grew to reach 23.8% during the reported period, as compared with 21.0% in the corresponding period last year and 20.6% in the fourth quarter of 2006. |

The increase in the gross margin is primarily attributed to the improvement in selling prices, the quantitative growth in the local market and the decrease in energy prices (decrease of 22% in fuel oil prices), as compared with the corresponding quarter last year. |
Labor Wages |
Wages in the cost of sales and in the selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to NIS 43.3 million in the reported period, as compared with NIS 40.4 million in the corresponding period last year. |
The change in payroll costs in relation to the corresponding period last year reflects a certain increase in personnel, along with a nominal increase of 3% in the wages. |
3. | Selling, General and Administrative Expenses |
The selling, general and administrative expenses (including wages) amounted to NIS 15.7 million in the reported period (11.5% of sales), as compared with NIS 14.3 million (10.9% of sales), in the corresponding period last year as compared with NIS 19.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 (14.2% of sales). |
The increase in selling and general and administrative expenses is partially attributed to a certain increase in labor expenses as mentioned above. |
4. | Operating Profit |
The operating profit amounted to NIS 16.9 million in the reported period (12.3% of sales), as compared with NIS 13.3 million (10.1% of sales) in the corresponding quarter last year, representing 13.1% growth in relation to the corresponding quarter last year, and as compared with NIS 8.6 million (6.4% of sales) in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
The
operating profit of the paper and recycling activity totaled NIS 17.4 million during the
reported period, as compared with NIS 13.8 million in the corresponding period last year,
representing 26% growth. The operating loss of the office supplies sector amounted to NIS -0.5 million and is similar to last year. |
5. | Financial Expenses |
The financial expenses amounted to NIS 6.2 million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 4.2 million in the corresponding period last year and NIS 9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
The total average of the Companys net, interest-bearing liabilities grew approximately by NIS 100 million, as a comparison between the periods 2006 and 2007. The increase originated primarily from investments in fixed assets and dividends distribution, net of dividends received from associated companies and the positive cash flows from operating activities. |
The said increase in the obligo, net of the lower interest, resulted in NIS 1.3 million increase in financial expenses in the first quarter of the year, as compared with last year. |
8
Moreover, the cost of the transaction for hedging the CPI-linked notes against a rise in the CPI fell from 1.8% per annum in 2006 to 1.3% per annum in 2007 and resulted in a decrease in costs related to the notes. |
The 1.7% revaluation that was recorded in the NIS- U.S. dollar exchange rate, as compared with a 1.3% devaluation in the corresponding period last year, served to increase the financial expenses this year, as compared with the preceding year, by NIS 1 million, on account of the erosion in the balance of dollar-denominated assets. |
6. | Taxes on Income |
Taxes on income amounted to NIS 3.4 million in the reported period, as compared with NIS 2.7 million in the corresponding period last year. |
The increase in the taxation expenses as compared with the corresponding quarter last year is mostly attributed to the increase of profit before tax. |
7. | Companys Share in Earnings of associated companies |
The essential associated companies whose earnings are reported under this item (according to AIPMs holdings therein), include primarily: Mondi Hadera, Hogla-Kimberly and Carmel. |
The Companys share in the earnings (losses) of associated companies totaled NIS (10.8) million during the reported period, as compared with NIS 1.3 million in the corresponding period last year and as compared with NIS (10.9) million in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
The following principal changes were recorded in the Companys share in the earnings of associated companies, in relation to the corresponding period last year: |
| The Companys share in the net profit of Mondi Hadera (49.9%) increased by NIS 1.5 million. Most of the change in profit originated from the companys improved profitability, from an operating loss of NIS 0.8 million in the corresponding period last year to an operating profit of NIS 1.7 million in the first quarter this year as a result of the improved gross margin. The improvement was rendered possible as a result of the said recovery in the European paper industry, the decrease in energy prices and the quantitative growth in sales in the domestic market. Moreover, a decrease was recorded in financial expenses on account of the erosion of dollar-denominated liabilities due to the revaluation of the NIS by 1.7% in the first quarter of the year, as compared with a devaluation of 1.3% in the corresponding quarter last year. |
| The Companys share in the net earnings of Hogla-Kimberly in Israel (49.9%) increased by NIS 4.9 million. The operating profit of Hogla grew from NIS 29.0 million to NIS 36.1 million this year as a result of the growth in sales. Record sales were recorded this quarter, resulting, among others, from the timing of the Passover holiday in early April, which led to pre-holiday sales that were all recorded in the first quarter of the year, as compared with last year, when these pre-Passover holiday sales were split between the first and second quarters. An additional contributing factor was the improvement in selling prices and the increased share of premium products out of the total |
9
basket of products, and from streamlining. On the other hand, the higher raw material prices served to slightly offset the improved profitability. Net profit of Hogla-Kimberly Israel, was affected in the corresponding period last year from the non-recurring tax expenses amounting to NIS 4.5 million (our share was approximately NIS 2.2 million). |
| The Companys share in the losses of KCTR Turkey (formerly Ovisan) (49.9%) grew by NIS 19.1 million, primarily on account of the sharp increase in the operating loss (NIS 18 million in relation to the corresponding quarter last year), originating primarily from expenses associated with the continuance of the launch of premium KC products in the Turkish market (Kotex® and Huggies®) in the second quarter last year, as mentioned before, advertising costs, sales promotion and registration fees to the retail chains, are allocated to profit and loss, on a current bases. During the first quarter this year, a part of the tax asset that was recorded in Turkey in the last few years was reduced, in the amount of NIS 12.3 million ($2.9 million) due to the limitation on transfer losses, expired at the end of five years. Our share in the reduction is approximately NIS 6.1 million(see above chapter A3 The Strategic Investment in Turkey). |
| The Companys share in the net profit of Carmel Group (26.25%) decreased by NIS 1.3 million. This decrease is primarily attributed to the decrease in the operating profit, despite the quantitative growth in sales. The erosion is primarily associated with the sharp rise in raw material prices, which was not fully compensated for by the raising of selling prices. Moreover, the net profit last year included capital gains of NIS 3.9 million from the sale of a real-estate asset in Netanya. Net of the Companys share in the capital gains, the Companys share decreased by NIS 0.3 million. |
| In the corresponding quarter last year, the Companys share in the earnings of associated companies included the Companys share in the losses of TMM, in the sum of NIS -1.9 million (including NIS 0.5 million as cumulative effect at the beginning of the period). As mentioned above, the Company sold its holdings in TMM in early 2007 and this item is therefore not included in the Companys share in the earnings of associated companies this year. |
D. | Analysis of the Companys Financial Situation |
| The cash and cash equivalents item rose from NIS 4.1 million on March 31, 2006 to NIS 58.0 million on March 31, 2007. This increase is primarily attributed to a sum of NIS 30 million that was received as proceeds from the sale of real estate and from the realization of approximately NIS 27 million investment in TMM. |
| The short-term investments, that amounted to NIS 11.5 million as at March 31, 2006 and included short-term deposits, were realized in the course of 2006, primarily due to the lower interest rates. |
| The accounts receivable item recorded an increase from NIS 155.3 million as at March 31, 2006 to NIS 177.6 million as at March 31, 2007. This growth originates primarily from the growth in the volume of operations. |
| The other receivables item decreased from NIS 119.3 million on March 31, 2006 to NIS 107.1 million on March 31, 2007. |
10
| Inventories increased from NIS 62.4 million as at March 31, 2006 to NIS 65.8 million as at March 31, 2007 and as compared with NIS 62.1 million as at December 31, 2006. This growth is attributed mostly to the growth in paper waste inventory in the frame of preparations at Amnir in relation to Machine 8. |
| Investments in associated companies decreased from NIS 431.1 million on March 31, 2006 to NIS 336.9 million on March 31, 2007. The principal components of the said decrease included the Companys net share in the losses of associated companies during the reported period, coupled with the realization of an investment in TMM in return for its book value of approximately NIS 27 .3 million. |
| Short-term credit rose from NIS 135.9 million on March, 31 2006 to NIS 202.2 million on March 31, 2007. The increase in this item originated primarily from investments in fixed assets, dividends distributed net of dividends received from an associated company and the net cash flows from operating activities. |
| The other payables item decreased from NIS 107.5 million on March 31, 2006 to NIS 93.7 million on March 31, 2007. |
| The Companys shareholders equity decreased from NIS 532.9 million on March 31, 2006 to NIS 426.9 million on March 31, 2007. The change is primarily attributed to the net profit over the periods, NIS 2.1 million, net of dividend payments (approximately. NIS 100 million), coupled with the debitory capital reserve from translation differences at an associated company. |
E. | Liquidity and Investments |
1. | Cash Flows |
The
cash flows from operating activities totaled NIS -0.2 million during the reported period,
as compared with NIS 16.9 million in the corresponding period last year. The change in
the cash flows from operating activities during the reported period originated from the
growth in shareholders equity, that was primarily generated by the growth in
inventories as part of Amnirs preparations for the accumulation of paper waste in
anticipation of the operation of Machine 8, coupled with the increase in accounts
receivable as a result of the growth in the sales volume. The cash flows from operating activities in 2006 amounted to NIS 53.1 million. |
2. | Investments in Fixed Assets |
The investments in fixed assets totaled NIS 11.2 million in the reported period, as compared with NIS 13.9 million in the corresponding period last year. The investments this year included payments for the acquisition of a reserve steam tank and for the conversion of the energy system to natural gas, along with environmental investments (sewage treatment). The Company also made current investments in equipment renewal, means of transportation and in the maintenance of buildings at the Hadera site. |
3. | Financial Liabilities |
The long-term liabilities (including current maturities) amounted to NIS 295.6 million as at March 31, 2007, as compared with NIS 266.7 million as at March 31, 2006. The long-term liabilities grew primarily on account of assuming a long-term bank loan of NIS 40 million in 2006, net of current maturities of debentures and loans. The long-term liabilities totaled NIS 297.9 million on December 31, 2006. |
11
The
long-term liabilities include two series of debentures and the following long-term bank loans: Series 1 NIS 20.4 million, for repayment until 2009. Series 2 NIS 205.7 million, for repayment between 2007 and 2013. Long-term loans NIS 37.4 million. |
The outstanding short-term credit totaled NIS 202.2 million as at March 31, 2007, as compared with NIS 135.9 million as at March 31, 2006 and NIS 203.0 million as at December 31, 2006. |
The
balance of short-term credit (together with long-term loans) grew in relation to the
corresponding period last year, due to the need to finance the net cash flows balance
between the periods, that was generated mostly by investments in fixed assets (NIS 50.4
million), dividend payments (approximately NIS 100 million) and net of the positive cash
flows for the period (approximately NIS 36.1 million). The sources of finance for the said NIS 100 million growth in financial liabilities between the reported periods were from the banking system, as follows: NIS 67 million from short-term credit and NIS 38 million from long-term loans. |
F. | Exposure and Management of Market Risks |
1. | General |
The Company conducts periodical discussions regarding market risks and exposure to exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, with the participation of the relevant factors, so as to reach decisions in this matter. The individual responsible for the implementation of market risk management policy at the Company is Israel Eldar, the Companys Comptroller. |
2. | Market Risks to which the Company is Exposed |
Description of Market Risks |
The market risks reflect the risk of changes in the value of financial instruments affected by changes in the interest rate, in the Consumer Price Index and in exchange rates. |
Exchange Rate Risks |
Approximately half of the Companys sales are denominated in US dollars, whereas a significant share of its expenses and liabilities are in NIS. The Company is therefore exposed to exchange rate fluctuations of the NIS vis-à-vis the US dollar. This exposure includes economic exposure (on account of surplus proceeds on payments in foreign currency or linked thereto) and accounting exposure (on account of a surplus of dollar-linked assets over foreign-currency-denominated liabilities). |
12
As at March 31, 2007, the Company had no hedging transactions on account of exposure to foreign currency and the Company consequently recorded no profits or losses on account of such hedging transactions. |
Consumer Price Index Risks |
The
Company is exposed to changes in the Consumer Price Index, pertaining to bonds issued by
the Company, in the total sum of NIS 226 million. In December 2006 and January 2007, the Company entered into hedging transactions for a period of one year, to protect itself against a rise in the CPI, in the amount of NIS 220 million, pursuant to previous transactions that were made in December 2005 and terminated at the end of 2006. |
Interest Risks |
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily on account of notes, in the sum of NIS 226 million. |
Credit Risks |
Most of the Groups sales are made in Israel to a large number of customers and the exposure to customer-related credit risks is consequently generally limited. The Group regularly analyzes through credit committees that operate within the various companies the quality of the customers, their credit limits and the relevant collateral required, as the case may be.The financial statements include provisions for doubtful debts, based on the existing risks on the date of the statements. |

Associated Companies |
AIPM is exposed to various risks associated with operations in Turkey, where Hogla-Kimberly is active through its subsidiary, KCTR.

A. | The interim financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and for the three month periods then ended (hereafter - the interim financial statements) were drawn up in condensed form, in accordance with Accounting Standard No. 14 of the Israel Accounting Standards Board (hereafter - the IASB) and in accordance with the Securities (Preparation of Periodic and Immediate Financial Statements) Regulations, 1970. |
These interim financial statements have to be reviewed in connection with the Annual Financial Statements as of December 31, 2006 and the year then ended and with the Notes related to them. |
The accounting principles applied in preparation of the interim statements are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements, except for, as detailed in note 2 hereafter. |

1. | Standard No. 23 Accounting for Transactions between an Entity and a controlling party |
In December 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 23, Accounting for Transactions between an Entity and a controlling party (hereinafter the Standard). The Standard applies to entities subject to the Israeli Securities Law-1968. |
The Standard establishes the requirements for accounting for transactions between an entity and its controlling party, which involve asset transfers, assumption of liability, reimbursement or debt concession, and receipt of loans. The Standard does not apply to business combinations between entities under common control. |

(Unaudited)
NOTE 2 - FIRST IMPLEMENTATION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (cont)
1. | Standard No. 23 Accounting for Transactions between an Entity and a controlling party(cont.) |
The Standard stipulates that transactions between an entity and a controlling party will be measured based on fair value; transactions which in nature are owner investments or distributions to owners should be reported directly in equity and not be recognized in the controlled entitys profit and loss; the differences between the consideration in transactions between an entity and a controlling party and their fair value will be recognized directly in equity. Current and deferred taxes pertaining to the items recognized in equity due to transactions with controlling parties will be recognized directly in equity as well. |
The Standard is effective for transactions between an entity and a controlling party taking place subsequent to January 1, 2007 and for loans granted from or given to a controlling party prior to the Standards effective date, starting on the Standards effective date. |
Pursuant to the standard, the balance of loans that were granted by the Company to an associated company, as at January 1, 2007, is measured at fair value. |
The adoption of this Standard has no effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
2. | Application of Standard No.26 Inventory |
In August 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 26 Inventory (the Standard), which outlines the accounting treatment of inventory. |
The standard applies to all types of inventory, other than buildings constructed for sale and addressed by Accounting Standard No.2 (Construction of Buildings for Sale), inventory of work in progress stemming from performance contracts, addressed by Accounting Standard No.4 (Work Based on Performance Contract), financial instruments and biological assets relating to agricultural activity and agricultural production during harvest. |
The standard establishes, among other things, that inventory should be stated at the lower between cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first in, first out (FIFO) method or by average weighted cost used consistently for all types of inventory of similar nature and uses. In certain circumstances the standard requires cost determination by a specific identification of cost, which includes all purchase and production costs, as well as any other costs incurred in reaching the inventorys present stage. |
When inventory is acquired on credit incorporating a financing component, the inventory should then be presented at cost equaling purchase cost in cash. The financing component is recognized as a financing expense over the term of the credit period. |

NOTE 2 - FIRST IMPLEMENTATION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (cont)
2. | Application of Standard No.26 Inventory (cont.) |
Any reduction of inventory to net realizable value following impairment as well as any other inventory loss should be expensed in the current period. Subsequent elimination of an impairment write-down that stems from an increase in net realizable value will be allocated to operations during the period in which the elimination took place. |
This standard will apply to financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2007 and onwards and be implemented retroactively. |
The adoption of this Standard has no effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
3. | Application of Standard No. 27 Property plant and equipment Standard no. 28 An amendment to the transition requirements in Accounting Standard no. 27, property plant and equipment. |
In September 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 27 (the Standard), which establishes the accounting treatment for property plant and equipment, including the recognition of the assets, the determination of their carrying amounts, the depreciation charges and impairment losses to be recognized in relation to them and the disclosures required in the financial statements. |
An item in fixed assets will be measured at the initial date of recognition, according to overall cost, in addition to the asset acquisition cost and all costs that may be directly attributed to bringing the said asset to the location and situation required in order for it to operate in the manner meant by the management. The cost also includes the initial assessment of costs for dismantling and removing the said item and for restoring the site where the asset was located, on account of which a liability was created for the company, when the asset was acquired or as a result of the use thereof during a certain period, for a purpose other than creating inventories during the said period. |
Following the initial recognition, the Standard permits the entity to choose either the cost model or the revaluation model as its accounting policy. The same policy should be applied to an entire class of property, plant and equipment. |
Cost method an item will be presented at cost less accumulated depreciation, less accumulated impairment losses. |
Revaluation method an item whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in an assets value due to revaluation should be credited directly to shareholders equity (revaluation reserve). |
This new standard is effective for financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2007 and onwards and should be applied retroactively. |

3. | Application
of Standard No. 27 Property plant and equipment Standard no.
28 An amendment to the transition requirements in Accounting Standard no. 27, property plant and equipment. (cont) |
In April 2007 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Standard no. 28 An amendment to the transition requirements in Accounting Standard no. 27, property plant and equipment (Standard No. 28). |
In
order to apply Standard No. 27, Standard No. 28 allows an entity which intends to adopt
the exemptions established in IFRS 1 as of January 1, 2008 regarding property plant and equipment, to adopt them
in January 1, 2007. In accordance with these exemptions, an entity may present property plant and equipment at the transition date, in their fair value at that date, as a surrogate for their cost (deemed cost). In addition, the Standard states that an entity which elects fair value as deemed cost, will not represent comparative information, but should disclosure that fact and the fair value in 1 January 2007 of any item which was measured at fair value as deemed cost. |
The company has adopted commencing 1 January 2007 the cost model. |
The effect of initially applying these standards on the Companys financial position and results of operations is not material. |
4. | Application of Standard No.29 Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards |
In July 2006, the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 29 -Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards IFRS (the Standard). According to this Standard, the financial statements of an entity subject to the Israeli Securities Law and authoritative Regulations there-under, other than foreign corporations as defined by this Law that prepares its financial statements in other than Israeli GAAP, will be prepared for the reporting periods commencing January 1, 2008, including interim periods, in accordance with the IFRS and related interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Board. |
An entity adopting IFRS as of January 1, 2008 and electing to report comparative figures in accordance with the IFRS for only 2007, will be required to prepare opening balance-sheet amounts as of January 1, 2007 based on the IFRS. |
Reporting in accordance with the IFRS will be carried out based on the provisions of IFRS No. 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS Standards, which establishes guidance on implementing the transition from financial reporting based on domestic national accounting standards to reporting in accordance with the IFRS. |

NOTE 2 - FIRST IMPLEMENTATION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (cont)
4. | Application of Standard No.29 Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards(cont) |
IFRS No. 1 supersedes the transitional provisions established in other IFRSs (including those established in former domestic national accounting standards), stating that all IFRSs should be adopted retroactively for the opening balance-sheet amounts. Nevertheless, IFRS No. 1 grants allowances on certain issues by not applying the retroactive application in respect thereof. In addition, IFRS No. 1 contains certain exceptions with regard to the retroactive application of certain aspects stipulated in other IFRSs. |
Management intends to examine the effect of the transition to IFRS, yet at this stage, is unable to estimate the extent of such conversion on the Companys financial position and results of operations. |
5. | Application of Standard No.16 Investment Property |
In February 2007, IASB issued Accounting Standard No. 16, Investment Property(hereinafter- the Standard), which determines the followings accounting treatment of real estate assets held for investment and their respective disclosure requirements. |
Investment Property is defined as real estate (land and/or whole or part of building) held (by the owners or by a lessee under a financing lease) for the purpose of generating rental revenues and/or increasing such real estates value except where: |
| The property is being used either for manufacturing, providing goods or services, or for administrative purposes; or |
| The property is held for sale in the ordinary course of business. |
The Standard permits entities to choose between: |
(1) | The fair value model, according to which Investment Property will be measured, after the initial recognition, at fair value, with the changes in fair value being recognized as part of operating results: or |
(2) | The cost model according to which Investment Property is measured, after the initial recognition, at depreciated balance (less cumulative losses from impairment in value). An entity that selects the cost model will give disclosure in the notes as to the fair value of its Investment Property. |
The Standard allows a lessee under an operating lease to classify and treat its rights in real estate assets as Investment Property, only in respect of real estates which would otherwise have fallen under the definition of Investment Property and subject to such lesees election to use the fair value model. This alternative classification applies to each real estate property on an individual basis. The Standard requires an entity to apply the elected model to all Investment Properties. If an entity elects to classify rights in real estate, that is held under an operating lease, as real estate held for investment, it must apply the fair value model to these rights and must consequently apply the fair value model to all of its real estate held for investment. |

NOTE 2 - FIRST IMPLEMENTATION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (cont)
5. | Application of Standard No.16 Investment Property(cont) |
The Standard applies to annual financial statements as and from January 1, 2007. |
The Standard also provides for the following transitional provisions to each alternative accounting model: |
Adoption
of the fair value model shall be recorded as an adjustment of the opening balance of the
retained earnings for the period for which the Standard was initially adopted; Adoption of cost model an entity which intends to adopt, as and from January 1, 2008, one or more of the relieves stipulated in International Accounting Standard Number 1 regarding Investment Property, may adopt the same relief in the financial statements for periods beginning as and from on January 1, 2007. It was also determined that an entity that elects the relief of considering fair value as deemed cost will not be required to restate comparative data, but shall alternatively provide a disclosure as to such relief elected as well as to the fair value of each item so treated, as at January 1, 2007. |
The Company holds several leasehold rights to real estate, that shall be classified as operating leases in accordance with IFRS. Upon initial adoption of IFRS, the Company does not intend to classify these leasehold rights as real estate held for investment, as it may do pursuant to IASB Standard 16 and IFRS 40 and has consequently decided not to classify these leasehold rights as real estate held for investment according to Standard 16, but rather to continue to present them at cost, as part of fixed assets, pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in Israel. The initial adoption of the provisions of the Standard did not consequently have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. |

On May 13, 2007, the Companys Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved an employment contract with the Companys General Manager. The employment contract is not time-limited and consists of the following principal terms of employment: Monthly wages of NIS 95,000, linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) starting in 2007, an annual bonus equal to 6-9 monthly paychecks, to be determined at the discretion of the Companys Board of Directors. Retirement conditions In addition to the liberation of the funds accrued in the Managers Insurance, upon leaving his position, the general manager will receive a retirement bonus equal to his last monthly paycheck prior to leaving his position multiplied by the number of years during which he was employed by the Company (starting August 1998), including advanced notice of 6 months in the event of termination or resignation and additional auxiliary conditions. It should be noted that in proximity to the appointment of the General Manager, who entered his position in January 2005, a brief memorandum was drafted regarding the said employment, with terms similar to those mentioned above. This memorandum was not approved by the Companys Board of Directors and the Companys management, based on the opinion of legal counsel, is doubtful whether it is legally binding. The impact of the agreement will be expressed in the second quarter results and will amount to NIS 1.3 million (net, after taxes) on account of the retirement terms. |

Re: | Review
of Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 |
Gentlemen:
At your request, we have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements (interim financial statements) of Mondi Business Paper Hadera Ltd. (the Company) and its subsidiaries, as follows:
| Balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. |
| Statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007. |
| Statement of changes in shareholders equity for the three months ended March 31, 2007. |
| Statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007. |
Our review was conducted in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. The procedures included, inter alia, reading the aforementioned interim financial statements, reading the minutes of the shareholders meetings and meetings of the board of directors and its committees, and making inquiries with the persons responsible for financial and accounting affairs.
Since the review that was performed is limited in scope and does not constitute an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we do not express an opinion on the aforementioned interim financial statements.
In performing our review, nothing came to our attention, which indicates that material adjustments are required to the aforementioned interim financial statements for them to be deemed financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel and in accordance with Section D of the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) |
B. | Recent Accounting Standards |
Standard No. 23 Accounting for Transactions between an Entity and a controlling party |
In December 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 23, Accounting for Transactions between an Entity and a controlling party (hereinafter the Standard). The Standard applies to entities subject to the Israeli Securities Law-1968. |
The Standard establishes the requirements for accounting for transactions between an entity and its controlling party, which involve asset transfers, assumption of liability, reimbursement or debt concession, and receipt of loans. The Standard does not apply to business combinations between entities under common control. |
The Standard stipulates that transactions between an entity and a controlling party will be measured based on fair value; transactions which in nature are owner investments or distributions to owners should be reported directly in equity and not be recognized in the controlled entitys profit and loss; the differences between the consideration in transactions between an entity and a controlling party and their fair value will be recognized directly in equity. Current and deferred taxes pertaining to the items recognized in equity due to transactions with controlling parties will be recognized directly in equity as well. |
The Standard is effective for transactions between an entity and a controlling party taking place subsequent to January 1, 2007 and for loans granted from or given to a controlling party prior to the Standards effective date, starting on the Standards effective date. |
As a result of the initial application of this standard, the Companys shareholders equity and its result of operations decreased in the amount of NIS 156 thousand each, due to the presentation of capital notes to shareholders in fair value. |
Application of Standard No. 26 Inventory |
In August 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 26 Inventory (the Standard), which outlines the accounting treatment for inventory. |
The standard applies to all types of inventory, other than buildings constructed for sale and addressed by Accounting Standard No. 2 (Construction of Buildings for Sale), inventory of work in progress stemming from performance contracts, addressed by Accounting Standard No. 4 (Work Based on Performance Contract), financial instruments and biological assets relating to agricultural activity and agricultural production during harvest. |
The standard establishes, among other things, that inventory should be stated at the lower between cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first in, first out (FIFO) method or by weighted average cost used consistently for all types of inventory of similar nature and uses. In certain circumstances the standard requires cost determination by a specific identification of cost, which includes all purchase and production costs, as well as any other costs incurred in reaching the inventorys present stage. |

B. | Recent Accounting Standards (cont.) |
Application of Standard No. 26 Inventory (cont.) |
When inventory is acquired on credit incorporating a financing component, the inventory should then be presented at cost equaling purchase cost in cash. The financing component is recognized as a financing expense over the term of the credit period. |
Any reduction of inventory to net realizable value as well as any other inventory loss should be expensed in the current period. |
Subsequent elimination of a write-down that stems from an increase in net realizable value will be allocated to operations during the period in which the elimination took place. |
This standard applies to financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2007 and onwards and should be implemented retroactively. |
The adoption of this Standard has no effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
Application of Standard No. 27 Property plant and equipment |
In September 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 27 (the Standard), which establishes the accounting treatment for property plant and equipment, including the recognition of the assets, the determination of their carrying amounts, the depreciation charges and impairment losses to be recognized in relation to them and the disclosures required in the financial statements. |
The Standard states that an item of property, plant and equipment will be measured at initial recognition at cost. The cost should also include the initial estimate of costs required to dismantle and remove the item. |
Following the initial recognition, the Standard permits the entity to choose either the cost model or the revaluation model as its accounting policy. The same policy should be applied to an entire class of property, plant and equipment. |
Cost method an item will be presented at cost less accumulated depreciation, less accumulated impairment losses. |
Revaluation method an item whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in an assets value due to revaluation should be credited directly to shareholdersequity (revaluation reserve). |
This new standard is effective for financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2007 and onwards and should be applied retroactively. |

B. | Recent Accounting Standards (cont.) |
Application of Standard No. 27 Property plant and equipment (cont.) |
In April 2007 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Standard no. 28 An amendment to the transition requirements in Accounting Standard no. 27, property plant and equipment. |
Standard 28 allows an entity which intends to adopt the exemptions established in IFRS 1 regarding property plant and equipment, to adopt them at the adoption of Standard 27. |
In accordance with these exemptions, an entity may present property plant and equipment at the transition date, in their fair value at that date, as a surrogate for their cost (deemed cost). In addition, the Standard states that an entity which elects fair value as deemed cost, will not represent comparative information, but should disclosure that fact and the fair value in 1 January 2007 of any item which was measured at fair value as deemed cost. |
The company has adopted the cost model commencing January 1, 2007. |
As a result of the initial application of this standard the Company reclassified major spare parts and standby equipment, that had been recorded as inventory, to property plant and equipment in the amount of NIS 2,927 thousand as of March 31,2007 (NIS 2,927 thousand as of December 31, 2006 and NIS 2,450 thousand as of March 31, 2006). |
Application of Standard No. 30 Intangible Assets. |
In March 2007, The Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 30, Intangible Assets (the Standard), which sets the accounting treatment for Intangible Assets that are not dealt with specifically in another standard, as well as the disclosure requirements in the financial statements for the entitys Intangible Assets. |
An intangible asset shall be measured initially at cost. |
Research and development costs |
Expenditures arising from research (or from the research phase of an internal project) shall not be recognized as an asset and should be expensed when incurred. |
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) shall be recognized if, and only if, the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset in the standard are met. |
Expenditure on an intangible item that was initially recognized as an expense shall not be recognized as part of the cost of an intangible asset at a later date. |
Measurement after Recognition |
After initial recognition, an entity may choose to: |
Measure
intangible asset at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated
impairment losses, or For an intangible asset that have an active market, as defined in the standard, measure it at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated amortization and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. |

An entity shall assess whether the useful life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite. The amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be over its useful life using a systematic basis. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life shall not be amortized. Instead, an entity is required to test an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life for impairment annually, or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired, using the method prescribed in Accounting Standard No. 15. |
This Standard applies to financial statements for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007: |
An entity which intends to adopt one or more of the exemptions established in IFRS 1 regarding intangible assets, in the financial statements of periods beginning January 1, 2008, is permitted to adopt these exemptions in the financial statements of periods beginning January 1, 2007. An entity which elects fair value as deemed cost, will not represent comparative information, but will disclose that fact and the fair value as of 1 January 2007 of any item which shall be recorded at fair value as deemed cost. |
Research and development in process project which was acquired in a business combination performed before January 1, 2007, and satisfied the recognition criteria at the time the asset was acquired and was recognized as an expense, will be recognized as an asset at the adoption date. The adjustment will be credited to retained earnings in 1 January 2007. |
The adoption of this Standard has no effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |

Application of Standard No. 29 Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards(cont.) |
An entity adopting IFRS as of January 1, 2008 and electing to report comparative figures in accordance with IFRS for only 2007, will be required to prepare opening balance-sheet amounts as of January 1, 2007 based on IFRS. |
Reporting in accordance with IFRS will be carried out based on the provisions of IFRS No. 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS Standards, which establishes guidance on implementing the transition from financial reporting based on domestic national accounting standards to reporting in accordance with IFRS. |
IFRS No. 1 supersedes the transitional provisions established in other IFRSs (including those established in former domestic national accounting standards), stating that all IFRSs should be adopted retroactively for the opening balance-sheet amounts. Nevertheless, IFRS No. 1 grants exemptions on certain issues by not applying the retroactive application in respect thereof. In addition, IFRS No. 1 contains certain exceptions with regard to the retroactive application of certain aspects stipulated in other IFRSs. |

Re: | Review
of Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 |
Gentlemen:
At your request, we have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements (interim financial statements) of Hogla-Kimberly Ltd. (the Company) and its subsidiaries, as follows:
| Balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. |
| Statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007. |
| Statements of changes in shareholders equity for the three months ended March 31, 2007. |
| Statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007. |
Our review was conducted in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. The procedures included, inter alia, reading the aforementioned interim financial statements, reading the minutes of the shareholders meetings and meetings of the board of directors and its committees, and making inquiries with the persons responsible for financial and accounting affairs.
Since the review that was performed is limited in scope and does not constitute an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we do not express an opinion on the aforementioned interim financial statements.
In performing our review, nothing came to our attention which indicates that material adjustments are required to the aforementioned interim financial statements for them to be deemed financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel and in accordance with the Israeli Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

B. | Recent Accounting Standards |
Standard No. 23 Accounting for Transactions between an Entity and a controlling party |
In December 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 23, Accounting for Transactions between an Entity and a controlling party (hereinafter the Standard). The Standard applies to entities subject to the Israeli Securities Law-1968. |
The Standard establishes the requirements for accounting for transactions between an entity and its controlling party, which involve asset transfers, assumption of liability, reimbursement or debt concession, and receipt of loans. The Standard does not apply to business combinations between entities under common control. |
The Standard stipulates that transactions between an entity and a controlling party will be measured based on fair value; transactions which in nature are owner investments or distributions to owners should be reported directly in equity and not be recognized in the controlled entitys profit and loss; the differences between the consideration in transactions between an entity and a controlling party and their fair value will be recognized directly in equity. Current and deferred taxes pertaining to the items recognized in equity due to transactions with controlling parties will be recognized directly in equity as well. |
The Standard is effective for transactions between an entity and a controlling party taking place subsequent to January 1, 2007 and for loans granted from or given to a controlling party prior to the Standards effective date, starting on the Standards effective date. |
The adoption of this Standard has no effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
Application of Standard No. 26 Inventory |
In August 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 26 - "Inventory" ("the Standard"), which outlines the accounting treatment for inventory. |
The standard applies to all types of inventory, other than buildings constructed for sale and addressed by Accounting Standard No. 2 (Construction of Buildings for Sale), inventory of work in progress stemming from performance contracts, addressed by Accounting Standard No. 4 (Work Based on Performance Contract), financial instruments and biological assets relating to agricultural activity and agricultural production during harvest. |
The standard establishes, among other things, that inventory should be stated at the lower between cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first in, first out (FIFO) method or by weighted average cost used consistently for all types of inventory of similar nature and uses. In certain circumstances the standard requires cost determination by a specific identification of cost, which includes all purchase and production costs, as well as any other costs incurred in reaching the inventorys present stage. |

NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) |
B. | Recent Accounting Standards (cont.) |
Application of Standard No. 26 Inventory (cont.) |
When inventory is acquired on credit incorporating a financing component, the inventory should then be presented at cost equaling purchase cost in cash. The financing component is recognized as a financing expense over the term of the credit period. |
Any reduction of inventory to net realizable value as well as any other inventory loss should be expensed in the current period. |
Subsequent
elimination of a write-down that stems from an increase in net realizable value will be
allocated to operations during the period in which the elimination took place. This standard applies to financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2007 and onwards and be implemented retroactively. |
The adoption of this Standard has no effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
Application of Standard No. 27 Property plant and equipment |
In September 2006 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 27 (the Standard), which establishes the accounting treatment for property plant and equipment, including the recognition of the assets, the determination of their carrying amounts, the depreciation charges and impairment losses to be recognized in relation to them and the disclosures required in the financial statements. |
The Standard states that an item of property, plant and equipment will be measured at initial recognition at cost. The cost should also include the initial estimate of costs required to dismantle and remove the item. |
Following the initial recognition, the Standard permits the entity to choose either the cost model or the revaluation model as its accounting policy. The same policy should be applied to an entire class of property, plant and equipment. |
Cost model an item will be presented at cost less accumulated depreciation, less accumulated impairment losses. |
Revaluation model an item whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in an assets value due to revaluation should be credited directly to shareholdersequity (revaluation reserve). |
This new standard is effective for financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2007 and onwards and should be applied retroactively. |

Application of Standard No. 27 Property plant and equipment (cont.) |
In April 2007 the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Standard no. 28 An amendment to the transition requirements in Accounting Standard no. 27, property plant and equipment. |
Standard 28 allows an entity which intends to adopt the exemptions established in IFRS 1 regarding property plant and equipment, to adopt them at the adoption of Standard 27. In accordance with these exemptions, an entity may present property plant and equipment at the transition date, in their fair value at that date, as a surrogate for their cost (deemed cost). In addition, the Standard states that an entity which elects fair value as deemed cost, will not represent comparative information, but should disclosure that fact and the fair value in 1 January 2007 of any item which was measured at fair value as deemed cost. |
The company has adopted the cost model. |
As a result of the initial application of this standard the Company reclassified major spare parts and standby equipment, that had been recorded as inventory, to property plant and equipment in the amount of NIS 5,383 thousand as of March 31,2007 (NIS 5,153 thousand as of December 31, 2006 and NIS 4,663 thousand as of March 31, 2006). |
Application of Standard No. 30 Intangible Assets. |
In March 2007, The Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 30, Intangible Assets (the Standard), which sets the accounting treatment for Intangible Assets that are not dealt with specifically in another standard, as well as the disclosure requirements in the financial statements for the entitys Intangible Assets. |
An intangible asset shall be measured initially at cost. |
Research and development costs |
Expenditures arising from research (or from the research phase of an internal project) shall not be recognized as an asset and should be expensed when incurred. |
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) shall be recognized if, and only if, the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset in the standard are met. |
Expenditure on an intangible item that was initially recognized as an expense shall not be recognized as part of the cost of an intangible asset at a later date. |
Measurement after Recognition |
After initial recognition, an entity may choose to: |
Measure intangible asset at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, or |
For an intangible asset that have an active market, as defined in the standard, measure it at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated amortization and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. |

B. | Recent Accounting Standards (cont.) |
Application of Standard No. 30 Intangible Assets(cont.) |
An entity shall assess whether the useful life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite. The amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be over its useful life using a systematic basis. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life shall not be amortized. Instead, an entity is required to test an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life for impairment annually, or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired, using the method prescribed in Accounting Standard No. 15. |
This Standard applies to financial statements for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007: |
An entity which intends to adopt one or more of the exemptions established in IFRS 1 regarding intangible assets, in the financial statements to periods beginning January 2008, is permitted to adopt these exemptions in the financial statements to periods beginning in 1 January 2007. An entity which elects fair value as deemed cost, will not represent comparative information, but will disclose that fact and the fair value as of 1 January 2007 of any item which shall be recorded at fair value as deemed cost. |
Research and development in process project which was acquired in business combination performed before 1 January 2007, and satisfied the recognition criteria at the time the asset was acquired and was recognized as an expense, will be recognized as an asset at the adoption date. The adjustment will be credited to retained earnings in 1 January 2007. |
The
effect of the adoption of the Standard on the entity's financial statements is not
material. Or: The effect of the adoption of the Standard on the financial statement is as follows: |
| Internally generated research and development costs- |
| Pre-operating costs- |
