Review Report of the Independent Auditors to the Shareholders of OPC Energy Ltd.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Company”) and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at June 30, 2019 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month and three-month periods then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial information for these interim periods in accordance with IAS 34 “Financial Reporting for Interim Periods”, and are also responsible for the preparation of financial information for these interim periods in accordance with Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial information for these interim periods based on our review.
Scope of the Review
We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard 1, “Review of Financial Information for Interim Periods Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above‑mentioned financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34.
In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above‑mentioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.
Sincerely,
Somekh Chaikin
Certified Public Accountants (Isr.)

(hereinafter – “the Parent Company”), a company incorporated in Singapore, the shares of which are “dual listed” for trading on both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Tel‑Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Stock Exchange”). Up to February 15, 2018, the Company was controlled by I.C. Power Asia Development Ltd. (hereinafter – “Asia Development”), on which date Asia Development transferred its entire holdings in the Company to the Parent Company.
The Company is a public company the securities of which are listed for trading on the Stock Exchange. The Company and its subsidiaries, the financial statements of which are consolidated with those of the Company (hereinafter – “the Group”), operate in Israel in the area of generation of electricity, including initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants, and the supply of the electricity generated to customers.
The subsidiary, OPC Rotem Ltd.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
At June 30, 2019
Note 2 – | Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements |
A. | Declaration of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) |
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Financial Reporting for Interim Periods” and do not include all of the information required in complete, annual financial statements. These statements should be read together with the financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018 (hereinafter – “the Annual Financial Statements”). In addition, these financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) 1970.
The condensed, consolidated, interim financial statements were approved for publication by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 13, 2019.
B. | Functional and presentation currency |
The New Israeli Shekel (NIS) is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Group operates. Accordingly, the NIS is the functional currency of the Group. The NIS also serves as the presentation currency in these financial statements. Currencies other than the NIS constitute foreign currency.
C. | Use of estimates and judgment |
In preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS, Company management is required to use judgment when making estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect implementation of the policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results are likely to be different than these estimates.
Management’s judgment, at the time of implementing the Group’s accounting policies and the main assumptions used in the estimates involving uncertainty, are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial Statements, except for that stated in Note 3.
D. | Reclassification |
In the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2018, the Company made a reclassification of costs relating to a PRMS (petroleum resources management system) in Hadera from the “long‑term prepaid expenses” category to “property, plant and equipment”, in the amount of about NIS 27 million, and accordingly it made a corresponding reclassification of the change in those categories in the statement of cash flows for the periods ended on those dates. The impact on the net cash used in investing activities was in the amount of about NIS 15 million.

Note 3 – | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Group’s accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as the policies applied in the Annual Financial Statements, except as detailed below.
A. | Transactions with holders of non‑controlling interests |
Transactions with holders of non‑controlling interests in subsidiaries while retaining control are accounted for as capital transactions. In these transactions, the difference between any consideration paid and the change to the non‑controlling interests is charged directly to the share of the equity attributable to the owners of the Company in a capital reserve from transactions with holders of non‑controlling interests.
B. | First-time application of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations |
IFRS 16, Leases
Commencing from the first quarter of 2019, the Group applies IFRS 16, Leases (hereinafter – “the Standard”), which supersedes International Accounting Standard (IAS) 17 “Leases” and the related Interpretations. The provisions of the Standard cancel the existing requirement that lessees classify the lease as an operating or a financing lease. Instead, as for lessees, the new Standard presents a uniform model for the accounting treatment of all leases, pursuant to which the lessee is to recognize an asset and a liability in respect of the lease in its financial statements.
The Group elected to apply the transitional provision whereby on the initial application date it will recognize a lease liability based on the present value of the balance of the future lease payments, discounted based on the lessee’s incremental interest rate on that date, and at the same time it will recognize a “lease usage right” asset in the same amount as the liability, adjusted for the lease payments made in advance or accrued that were recognized as an asset or a liability prior to the initial application date. As a result, the Standard did not have a material impact on the Group’s equity on the initial application date.
In addition, as part of application of the Standard, the Group elected to apply the following leniencies:
(1) | To use a single discount rate for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. |
(2) | Not to include initial direct costs in measurement of the usage right asset on the initial application date. |
Impact of application of the Standard in the period of the report
As a result of application of the Standard in connection with leases classified as operating leases pursuant to IAS 17, the Group recognized usage right assets and lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019, in the amount of NIS 19,797 thousand. The impact of application of the Standard on the Group’s results is not material.
Set forth below are the highlights of the changes in the accounting policies as a result of application of the Standard commencing from January 1, 2019:

B. | First-time application of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations (Cont.) |
IFRS 16, Leases (Cont.)
Impact of application of the Standard in the period of the report (Cont.)
1. | Determination whether an arrangement includes a lease |
On the date of entering into a lease, the Group determines whether the arrangement is a lease or includes a lease, while examining if the arrangement transfers a right to control use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a payment. When making the evaluation if an arrangement transfers a right to control use of an identified asset, the Group examines whether over the period of the lease it has the following two rights:
(a) | The right to obtain essentially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and |
(b) | The right to direct the use of the identified asset. |
For lease contracts that include components that are not lease components, such as services or maintenance, which relate to the lease component, the Group elected to treat the contract as separate lease components.
2. | Leased assets and liabilities in respect of a lease |
Contracts that convey to the Group control over use of a lease asset during a period in exchange for consideration are treated as leases. Upon the initial recognition, the Group recognizes a liability in an amount equal to the present value of the future lease payments (these payments do not include certain variable lease payments), and at the same time the Group recognizes a usage right asset in an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made in advance or accrued, and with the addition of direct expenses incurred in the lease.
Since the interest rate embedded in the Group’s leases cannot be easily determined, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental interest rate.
Subsequent to the initial recognition, the usage right asset is accounted for using the cost model, and is amortized over the period of the lease or the useful life of the asset – whichever is shorter.
The Group elected to apply the practical leniency whereby short‑term leases of up to one year or leases wherein the base asset has a low value, are accounted for in such a manner that the lease fees (the rent) are recorded in the statement of income using the “straight‑line” method over the period of the lease, without recognizing a lease asset and/or a lease liability in the statement of financial position.

3. | Period of the lease |
The period of the lease is determined as the period in which the lease may not be cancelled, together with periods covered by an option to extend or cancel the lease where it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise or not exercise the option, respectively.
4. | Variable lease payments |
Variable lease payments that depend on the CPI are initially measured by use of the CPI existing on the commencement date of the lease and are included in measurement of the lease liability. Where there is a change in the cash flows from the future lease payments deriving from the change in the CPI or exchange rate, the balance of the liability is updated against the usage right asset.
Other variable lease payments that are not included in measurement of the lease liability are recorded in the statement of income on the date the conditions for these payments are fulfilled.
5. | Amortization of usage right asset |
Subsequent to the commencement date of the lease, a usage right asset is measured using the cost method, less accumulated amortization and accrued losses from decline in value and is adjusted in respect of re‑measurements of the liability in respect of the lease. The amortization is calculated on the “straight‑line” basis over the useful life or the contractual lease period – whichever is shorter.
– | Land – 25 years. |

C. | New Standards and Amendments to Standards Not Yet Adopted |
Amendment to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (hereinafter: the “Amendment”)
The Amendment clarifies whether a transaction to acquire activities is the acquisition of a “business” or an asset. For purposes of this examination, the Amendment added the possibility of utilizing the concentration test so that if substantially all of the fair value of the acquired assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the acquisition will be of an asset. In addition, the minimum requirements for definition as a business have been clarified, such as for example the requirement that the acquired processes be substantive so that in order for it to be a business, the operation shall include at least one input element and one substantive process, which together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Furthermore, the Amendment narrows the reference to the outputs element required in order to meet the definition of a business and examples were added illustrating the aforesaid examination. The Amendment is effective for transactions to acquire an asset or business for which the acquisition date is in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with earlier application being permitted. The Group has not yet commenced examining the impacts of application of the Amendment on the financial statements.
Note 4 – | Financial Instruments |
The carrying amounts in the books of certain financial assets and liabilities, including short‑term and long‑term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, other receivables, derivative financial instruments, trade payables and other payables are the same as or approximate their fair values.
The fair values of the other financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial position, are as follows:

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

Note 5 – | Additional Information |
A. | Further to that stated in Note 24(A)(6) to the Annual Financial Statements, in January 2019, an outline was determined for expansion of the activities of the Group to which the Company belongs (“the Idan Ofer Group” as defined in the outline) in the area of generation of electricity from an economy‑wide business concentration perspective (hereinafter – “the Business Concentration Outline”). The Business Concentration Outline is intended to allow the Business Concentration Committee to revise its opinion regarding provision of a conditional license for generation of electricity to Zomet Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “Zomet”), and to notify the Electricity Authority that it does not see a preclusion for reasons of economy‑wide business concentration to granting the requested license to Zomet, however this being only after compliance with the conditions provided in the Business Concentration Outline, and to permit the Business Concentration Committee to notify the Electricity Authority that it does not see a preclusion for reasons of economy‑wide business concentration to allowing the Idan Ofer Group to receive additional licenses in the area of electricity generation up to the scope provided in the sector arrangement. In April 2019, sale of the shares of the Idan Ofer Group (as defined in the Business Concentration Outline) in Media Network Ltd. was completed, which was stipulated as a condition in the Business Concentration Outline. |
In April 2019, the conditional license for construction of the power plant for a period of 66 months was delivered to Zomet, this being further to the notification of the Electricity Authority and receipt of the approval of the Minister of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water (hereinafter – “the Minister of Energy”) and after Zomet deposited a guarantee as required, in the amount of about NIS 5 million. The conditional license entered into effect on April 11, 2019 (the date it was signed by the Minister of Energy), and it is conditional on compliance with milestones as provided in the license, including reaching commercial operation within 66 months, as well as additional conditions that are customary in licenses of this type.
Zomet has an option agreement with Kibbutz Netiv HLH for leasing a land area near the Plugot Intersection for 25 years (with an option to extend for an additional 25 years), to be used for construction of the power plant. In order to exercise the said lease option, Kibbutz Netiv HLH is required to obtain the consent of Israel Lands Authority (hereinafter – “ILA”) for issuance of the land and to complete the lease transaction pursuant to the conditions and decisions of the Israel Lands Council with reference to lease of land for employment purposes in the framework of agricultural communities for generation of electricity. The Company was informed by ILA that it appears that there are significant difficulties with respect to the possibility of advancing and approving the employment transaction for purposes of a power plant on the land areas of Kibbutz Netiv HLH, and the Company was requested to present its position. The Company’s position is that the transaction may be approved in accordance with the relevant decisions of ILA. As at the date of the report, ILA’s decision regarding the matter had not yet been received. It is noted that in order to move forward issuance of building permits for the Zomet project, the signature of ILA is required.
In addition, further to that stated in Note 24(A)(6) to the Annual Financial Statements, in February 2019, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal filed by the City of Kiryat Gat in the Supreme Court.

A. | (Cont.) |
In January 2019, the Company signed an agreement with the holders of the non‑controlling interests in Zomet for which 5% of Zomet’s share capital is held in trust (hereinafter – “the Sellers”), whereby the Sellers will sell their shares in Zomet to the Company (hereinafter – “the Sale Agreement” and “Shares Being Sold”, respectively) in increments, on a number of dates and subject to fulfillment of milestones.
The aggregate consideration to be paid by the Company for the Shares Being Sold is NIS 27 million, and it is to be paid in installments against a proportionate transfer of the Shares Being Sold to the Company on every payment date and subject to fulfillment of the milestones provided in the Sale Agreement. Upon signing of the Sale Agreement, the Company made the first payment, in the amount of NIS 1.5 million. The balance of the consideration is to be paid in two installments (against transfer of the balance of the Shares Being Sold, as stated), subject to fulfillment of the milestones in the Zomet project, where most of the consideration, in the amount of NIS 21 million, is to be paid upon completion of the financial closing (if and when completed). As at the date of the report, the remaining two milestones had not yet been fulfilled.
However, as at the date of the report, the Company included a liability for payment in respect of the second milestone, in the amount of about NIS 4.5 million, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to refrain from transferring money in respect of this milestone. The difference between the consideration in respect of the two (2) first milestones and the decrease in the relative proportion of the non‑controlling interests was recorded in a capital reserve in respect transactions with holders of non‑controlling interests.
The Zomet project is subject to fulfillment of various conditions and taking of other actions that have not yet been fulfilled, including, among others, assurance of the ability to output electricity from the site, receipt of a connection study, obtaining building permits and completion of a financial closing by the required date. In addition, completion of the Zomet project is subject to completion of a financial closing by the date required by force of Regulation 914, which as at the date of this Report is up to January 1, 2020. The Company is continuing to take action in order to fulfill the conditions along with execution of other activities – this being for purposes of advancing the Zomet project toward a financial closing. The Company estimates that it will meet the conditions required for the completion of the Zomet project, including the completion of the financial closing. However, as some of the conditions are dependent on factors outside the Company’s control, there is no certainty as to the completion of the Zomet project.
B. | Further to that stated in Note 24(A)(3) to the Annual Financial Statements, in January 2019, an amendment was signed to credit framework agreement whereby the operation and maintenance of the Rotem Power Plant will be performed by Rotem itself in place of Rotem’s operations company as provided in the agreement.

Pursuant to the amendment, in February 2019 the corporate guarantee provided by Veridis Power Plants Ltd. (the holder of the non‑controlling interests in Rotem) and the Company, in the amount of $1 million was released. Rotem Operations Company is expected to voluntarily liquidate during 2019. |
