B.
The Group's main fields of activity and changes that occurred in the period from January to December 2024
The Company, an Israeli high-tech enterprise, develops, manufactures and markets Planar and Conventional
transformers worldwide.
The Company was founded in order to revolutionize the traditional approach to the design
and manufacture of transformers through the concept of planar transformers. The Company completed its initial
public offering in 1998 on the EuroNext Stock Exchange.
Global Environment changes and External factors effect on the Group’s activity
In 2024 the global slowdown environment continued. It seems that, decrease in demand, excess inventory
levels and the high interest
rate are factors influencing customers’ activity and sometimes resulting in push
-out
of scheduled deliveries up on their needs. High prices of raw materials and high manpower costs remain
relevant too. Management estimates these trends are going to continue in the coming months.
Additional factors that affect the Group's activity are: the
revaluation of the US$
against the local NIS, the
Euro and the Pound, which mainly decreases local labor costs and other operating costs in Israel and the
United Kingdom.
Inflation effects
- Since the functional currency of the Group's activity is the US dollar, and since the Group
does not use bank loans, management believes there is no material effect of the inflation in Israel and/or
worldwide on the Group’s business activity, except for some adjustments needed in payroll.
Increase of global interest rate
- since the Company does not hold loans, the Group is not expected to have a
material negative impact due to the increase in the global interest rate, on the contrary, deposits’ income
increased.
On October 7
th
, 2023, a war broke out in the state of Israel ("the War"). The War consequences have not
significantly affected the Group's day-to-day operations. The Group's local facility, located in the center area
of Israel, rapidly adapted a working routine and continued its ongoing business
.
As of this date
,
the Group's
local facility is fully operative providing products and services on a regular basis to its customers.
Thanks to the Group’s financial and operational strength, wide business diversification, global dispersion of
production sites and raw material suppliers, the Group's management believes it should be able to continue its
ongoing business fully and continuously
.
Based on the information the Group has at the date of approval of these financial statements, this War is not
expected to have a material impact on the Group's activity
and results. However, due to uncertainty involved
and lack of information regarding the duration of the War, the Group is currently unable to foresee and assess
the future effects of the War.
The Group continues to follow-up and monitors all the abovementioned global developments trying to minimize
any impact including maintaining its close contacts with its subcontractors, suppliers and customers, all in order to
adjust its operations in the best possible way.
It is noted that the above statement is a forward-looking statement as defined above.
On January 24, 2024
, the Company's Board of Directors decided to pay to its shareholders a dividend for the
financial year 2023 in the amount of USD 10,072 thousand, USD 0.57 per share (paid on March 5, 2024).

On March 7, 2024
, the Company's remuneration committee and the Board of Directors examined the updated
remuneration policy, found it fair, logical and appropriate and decided to approve it. In addition the above
mentioned quorums approved the Company's participation in the service fee of FIMI for the consulting services to
be provided to Payton Group as part of the FIMI Transaction, for a period of 3 years, for a monthly payment of NIS

G.
Competition
In recent years there has been an increasing interest of magnetics manufacturers to get into the Planar field. We can
note that there are more and more companies that are trying to design and manufacture the planar components.
However, the Company believes in its technology advantage know-how and capabilities. It estimates it could
generally benefit from an increasing competition in the market due to greater exposure of the technology.
The Company cannot estimate its future market share. The following companies are considered as its potential
competitors: Pulse, Standex and Coilcraft - from the U.S.A. and Premo - from Spain.

.
Framework agreements that do not constitute binding orders
As of December 31, 2024 and the date of signing the financial statements, the Group has no material framework
agreements
.
J.
Human Resources
A factor
of importance to the Company’s success is its ability to attract, train and retain highly
skilled technical, and
more specifically, qualified electronics engineers with experience in high frequency magnetics and with a
comprehensive understanding of high frequency magnetics, managerial, sales and marketing personnel.
Competition for such personnel is intense. The Company constantly improves its personnel and has so far succeeded
in recruiting the appropriate personnel as required. This personnel is important in maintaining the pace in research,
design and technical customer support. The Company is confident however, that the challenges inherent to its
operations will satisfy its future recruitment needs. By the end of 2024, the Group employed about 170 people. The
Company retains employment contracts with most of its key employees and is of the opinion that relations with its
employees are satisfactory.

M.
Coming year outlook
In 2025, the Group plans to complete and integrate the purchase of SI MANUFACTURING, INC. (see also
paragraph B above and Note 20 to 2024 yearly report
(
, in order to expand Group activity and global presence.
Furthermore, the Group will continue its ongoing search for business and M&A opportunities synergetic to its core
business.
The Group is also preparing, in 2025, to continue coping with current slowdown of global markets. There are some
push-out of scheduled deliveries based on customer needs, and great caution needs to be taken with regard to
purchase forecast and inventory planning.
The raw materials prices are high and no significant price reduction is
expected in coming future. At this stage, it is not possible to assess the extent of the impact of the trends described
above on the Group's activities.
With regards to the War, currently, there is no material impact on the Group's activity
and results. However, it is
still impossible to foresee and assess long future effects.
The Group plans to continue investing efforts to improve and efficient its production capacity as well as integration
of automation. In addition to its normal course of business, the Group will continue its ongoing search for new
9
markets as well as other business opportunities providing innovative solutions and new technologies in order to
keep expanding its customer base, core business, enlarging its market share and maximize business opportunities to
the greatest possible extent.
It is noted that the above statement is a forward-looking statement as defined above.

USD 58,088 thousand as at December 31, 2024 compared to USD 56,186 thousand as at December 31, 2023.
Despite the dividend payment during the year 2024, the Company presents increase in Cash and cash equivalents
attributed ma
inly to Company’s profitability.
The Group's management believes a solid financial position is an important factor in order to successfully overcome
times of crisis.
Trade accounts receivable
-
these amounted to USD 7,925 thousand as December 31, 2024, compared with USD
9,546 thousand as at December 31, 2023. The decrease in this item is in line with the sales volume near the reports
dates.
Other investment -
as at December 31, 2024 this amounted to USD 2,733 thousand compared with USD 900
thousand as at December 31, 2023. This item representing the Company’s investment in shares of CaPow
Technologies Ltd.
(hereinafter: “CaPow”)
, an Israeli startup in the field of wireless charging solution. In May 2024,
the Company exercised its warrants to purchase additional
4,489 Shares, and keep its holding share, against
payment of USD 333 thousand (representing 1.2 times the original purchase price). In September 2024, the
Company participated in a second fundraising round with an additional investment of USD 1.5 million. The
Company holds about 7% of the shares of CaPow and following the additional investment, the Company was
granted representation on CaPow’s Board of Directors. The Company has a professio
nal and business interest in
being involved in new developments in this area and sees CaPow as a strategic investment.
Trade payables
-
amounted to USD 1,261 thousand as at December 31, 2024 compared with USD 3,663 thousand
as at December 31, 2023. The decrease in this item resulted mainly from an increase in advance payment to a
principal subcontractor in addition to a decrease caused by purchases decrease near the report dates which was in
line with the business activity.
Other payables
-
amounted to USD 3,010 thousand as at December 31, 2024 compared with USD 2,532 thousand
as at December 31, 2023. The increase in this item resulted mainly from a provision, initially recorded for
employees’ incentives relating to the current year (2024) r
esults.
B.
Interest rate, Currency and Market exposure - Data and Policy
Interest rate exposure
The Group’s interest rate exposure relates mainly to its balance of cash equivalents and bank deposits.
These
balances are mostly held in USD bearing interest rates given by banks (during 2024, about 6%).
Data on linkage terms
The financial statements of the Company reflect the functional currency of the Company, which is the USD.
11
Most of the Group's sales (93%) in the reported periods were in USD or were linked to the USD.
Approximately
2
% of the Group’s sales
in 2024 were in Euro, 1% were in NIS, and about 4% were in GBP.
During 2024, approximately 96% of the costs of raw material and finished goods purchased by the Group were in
USD or were linked to the USD.
During 2024, approximately 82% of
the Group’s salaries
were in New Israeli Shekel ("NIS") and about 6% were
in GBP.
Currency exposure risks
Since most of the Group's sales and purchases were in USD or linked to the USD, the Group's gross profit was
exposed to the changes in exchange rates of the USD in relation to the Euro, the GBP and to the local New Israeli
Shekel ("NIS") mostly with regard to labor costs and other operating costs (see also Data on linkage terms, above).
The Group is exposed to erosion of the USD in relation to the NIS and the GBP
. Most of the Group’s salaries and
other operating costs are fixed in the local currencies. Devaluation of the USD in relation to the NIS and the GBP
increases
the Group’s labor costs and thus
influences its operating results.
Devaluation of the USD in relation to the Euro and the GBP
leads to a decrease in Group’s assets held in those
currencies.
The Company is subcontracting in China. Devaluation of the USD with relation to the Chinese currency has an
indirect effect on
the Group’s cost of goods sold.
Market risks
During 2024 the Company
mostly used ‘limit orders’ for exchanging currency
mainly in order to cover its labor
costs paid in NIS. With regard to all other operating costs, there is no need to use derivatives since hedging is being
kept inherently as part of the operational activity.

General Note
:
The Group is exposed to abrasion of the USD in relation to the NIS, Euro (€) and the Pound
(£).
Most of the Group’s salaries and other operating costs are fixed in local currencies. Revaluation/devaluation of the
local currencies drives to an increase/decrease in labor costs and other operating costs, thus, affects the operating
results of the Company.
Sales revenues -
The Group’s sales revenues for the year ended December 31,
2024 were USD 50,826 thousand
compared with USD 54,856 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023, reflecting 7% decrease
mainly
explained by the global economic slowdown and deliveries pushouts.
13

-
The Group’s gross results for the year ended December 31,
2024 were USD 22,117 thousand (44%),
compared with USD 24,103 thousand (44%), in the year ended December 31, 2023. The gross margin is mainly
affected by sales product mix and production sites.

Payton’s strategy is aimed at maintaining the leadership of Planar Technology. The
Engineering Department works in conjunction with the engineering departments of the forerunn
ers of today’s global
technology. Development costs are mainly incurred to design and customize products for specific orders. These
development costs, mainly engineering labor costs, are based upon time expended by the department’s employees.
The Group’s d
evelopment costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 were USD 1,672 thousand compared with
USD 1,442 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in this item
resulted mainly from
enlargement of the engineering team as well as increase of labor cost and other
employees’ benefits
.

The Group’s selling & marketing expenses are mainly comprised of: (1)
commissions to the Group's reps’ and Marketing Personnel, which are calculated as a portion of sales, however it
is
further explained that not all the sales are subject to reps’ commissions and (2) other selling expenses (fixed) based
on management policy. The Group’s marketing efforts are concentrated through participation in major power
electronic shows around the world and by collaborating with its
worldwide reps’ Network
.
The Group’s selling &
marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, amounted to USD 2,203 thousand (4%) compared with
USD 2,152 thousand (4%) in the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Group’s
General & Administrative expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2024 amounted to USD 4,703 thousand compared with USD 3,863 thousand in the year ended

benefits and other incentives, as well as an increase in computing and data security expenses.

-
The Group’s finance income for the year ended December 31,
2024 amounted to USD 2,340
thousand compared with USD 1,881 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. Most of the finance income
stemmed from interest on bank deposit balances. Increase resulted mainly from interest received and from exchange
rate differences.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd. (“the
Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as at December 31,
202
4, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated
statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and
notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, and its
consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the International Ethics Stand
ards Board for Accountants’
International
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards)
(IESBA Code) and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our
description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Consolidated Financial Statements
section of our report, including in relation to this matter.
Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our
audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
20
Revenue recognition
As discussed in Notes 2E and 16A to the consolidated financial statements, revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2024, are USD 50.8 million. According to IFRS 15, the Company recognizes
revenue from goods with no alternative use over time. The Company’s revenues are generated from
the sale of goods manufactured according to customer specifications and based mainly on non-
cancelable and non-refundable terms. The Company is entitled to reimbursement of the costs incurred
to date, including a reasonable margin. Customer-specific goods cannot be sold to any other customer
and therefore have no alternative use.
Furthermore, and due to the materiality of revenue to the
financial statements of the Company, and the significant management judgment involved in the
revenue recognition process, we identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
With respect to this audit matter, our main audit procedures included obtaining an understanding of
the design and implementation of key internal controls surrounding the recording of revenues. We
sampled revenues while focusing on transactions recorded close to the year-end and in the beginning
of the subsequent period, and checked that such transactions were included in the appropriate period.
Our testing included sampling of source documents such as purchase orders and reviewing terms of
contracts with customers to obtain evidence that revenues recorded meet the criteria of IFRS 15. We
also checked if any credit notes were issued in the subsequent period in order to obtain evidence of
proper revenue recognition in 2024.
Other Information in the Company's 2024 Annual Report
Other information consists of the information included in the Annual Report, other than the
consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management is responsible for the
other information.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is
a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing
to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
21
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting
process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiv
eness of the Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going
concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
22
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period
and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
European Uniform Electronic Format (ESEF)
In accordance with the draft standard on the audit of compliance of the Financial Statements with the
European Single Electronic Format (hereafter “ESEF”), we have audited as well whether the ES
EF-
format is in accordance with the regulatory technical standards as laid down in the EU Delegated
Regulation nr. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (hereafter “Delegated Regulation”).
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation, in accordance with the ESEF requirements,
of the consolidated financial statements in the form of an electronic file in ESEF format (hereafter
“digital consolidated financial statements”) included in the annual financial report.
It is our responsibility to obtain sufficient and appropriate information to conclude whether the format
and the tagging of the digital consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with
the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.
In our opinion, based on our work performed, the format of and the tagging of information in the
official English version of the digital consolidated financial statements as per March 27,
202
5,
included in the annual financial report of Payton Planar Magnetics Ltd., are, in all material respects,
prepared in compliance with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.
The partner in charge of the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Mr. Shahar Zvulun.

Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories
comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. The Group periodically evaluates the condition and age of inventories
and makes provisions for slow moving inventories accordingly.
Cost of inventories is determined as follows:
Raw materials - at cost of purchase on the basis of weighted average
Work in progress and finished goods - on the basis of average costs including materials, labor
and other direct and indirect manufacturing costs
Property, plant and equipment

NOTE 2: -
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Revenue
The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standard 15 (“IFRS 15” or “the
standard”) which
provides guidance on revenue recognition. According to IFRS 15, the Group
recognizes revenue from goods with no alternative use over time.
The standard describes a five step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with
customers:
(1)
Identifying the contract with the customer.
(2)
Identifying distinct performance obligations in the contract.
(3)
Determining the transaction price.
(4)
Allocating the transaction price to distinct performance obligations.
(5)
Recognizing revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.
Identifying the contract
The Group accounts for a contract with a customer only when the following conditions are
met:
(a)
The parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or according to
other customary business practices) and they are committed to satisfying the obligations
attributable to them;
(b) The Group can identify the rights of each party in relation to the goods that will be
transferred;
(c)
The Group can identify the payment terms for the goods that will be transferred;
(d)
The contract has a commercial substance (i.e. the risk, timing and amount of the entity’s
future cash flows are expected to change as a result of the contract); and
(e)
It is probable that the consideration, to which the Group is entitled to in exchange for the
goods transferred to the customer, will be collected.
Identifying performance obligations
In accordance with the standard, the Group should identify distinct performance obligations in
contract with customers
.
The Group is characterized by transactions with a one performance
obligation in each contract.
Determining the transaction price
The transaction price is the amount of the consideration to which the Group expects to be
entitled in exchange for the goods promised to the customer.
NOTE 2: -
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Satisfaction of performance obligations
Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring
control over promised goods to the customer.
The Group’s
revenue is generated from the sale of goods manufactured according to customer
specifications and based mainly on NCNR terms (non-cancelable and non-refundable). The
Group is entitled to reimbursement of the costs incurred to date, including a reasonable
margin. Customer-specific goods cannot be sold to any other customer and therefore have no
alternative use.
Contract asset
A contract asset is recognized when the Group may recognize revenue but still has a
contractual obligation to perform, such as delivery, before it can receive consideration for
goods sold to the customer.
Contract assets are classified as receivables when the rights in their respect become
unconditional. In the following year, as the contractual obligation is completed, contract assets

Disclosure of new standards in the period prior to their adoption
IFRS 18, "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements"
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board ("the IASB") issued IFRS 18,
"Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements"
("IFRS 18") which replaces IAS 1,
"Presentation of Financial Statements"
.
IFRS 18 is aimed at improving comparability and transparency of communication in financial
statements.
IFRS 18 retains certain existing requirements of IAS 1 and introduces new requirements on
presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. It
also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new
requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.
IFRS 18 does not modify the recognition and measurement provisions of items in the financial
statements. However, since items within the statement of profit or loss must be classified into
one of five categories (operating, investing, financing, taxes on income and discontinued
operations), it may change the entity's operating profit. Moreover, the publication of IFRS 18
resulted in consequential narrow scope amendments to other accounting standards, including
IAS 7,
"Statement of Cash Flows"
, and IAS 34,
"Interim Financial Reporting"
.
IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and is
to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted commencing from January 1, 2025,
subject to disclosure.
The Group is evaluating the effects of IFRS 18, including the effects of the consequential

Fair value
Management believes that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term
deposits, trade accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other
payables approximate their fair value
.
Financial assets presented in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value are measured
Financial risk management objectives and policies:
The Group's principal financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits
and receivables that derive directly from its operations. The Group's principal financial
liabilities are comprised payables.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors has
overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management
framework. The Board of Directors defines principles for overall risk management, as well as
the specific policy for certain risk exposures and also the use of financial instruments and
excess liquidity investments. The Group's risk management framework focuses on actions to
minimize possible negative effects on the Group's financial performance.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises currency risk.
The Group's normal course of business is being managed in U.S. dollar, thus, most of the
market risks are hedged.
The Group uses, from time to time, derivatives as a tool for hedging, in order to neutralize
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial
instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Since most of the Group's sales are in U.S. dollar, the Group's gross profit is exposed to
the changes in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar in relation to the NIS and GBP, with
regards to local labor costs and other operating costs, and in relation to the Chinese
currency, with regards to costs of raw materials. The Group uses derivatives, from time to
time, as a tool for economic hedging, especially in order to hedge labor costs and other
costs paid in NIS.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis:
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity test to a reasonably possible change in
NIS, Euro and GBP exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on
the Group's income before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations as a customer or under
a financial instrument leading to a loss for the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk
from its operating activity (primarily trade accounts receivable) and from its financing
activity, including deposits with banks.
The Group’s revenues are derived from sales to customers in Israel, Asia, Europe,
America and other countries around the world. The Company’s Management regularly
monitors the customers’ balance
s and includes specific provisions for doubtful debts in
the financial statements that adequately reflect, in the opinion of management, the loss
inherent in debts the collection of which is doubtful. The Group has credit risk insurance
for most of its Israeli and other customers, whose yearly activity exceeds USD 5 thousand
and USD 10 thousand, respectively.
The Group’s cash surpluses are invested in banks. The Group has a surplus cash
investment policy for the purpose of reducing risk or maintaining liquidity. This policy is

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Post-employment benefits
According to the labor laws and Severance Pay Law in Israel, the Company is required to pay
compensation to an employee upon dismissal or retirement or to make current contributions in
defined contribution plans pursuant to section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, as specified below.
The Group's liability is accounted for as a post-employment benefit. The computation of the
Group's employee benefit liability is made according to the current employment contract based on
the employee's salary and employment term which establish the entitlement to receive the
compensation.
A.
Defined contribution plans
Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law, 1963 applies to part of the compensation payments,
pursuant to which the fixed contributions paid by the Group into pension funds and/or policies
of insurance companies release the Group from any additional liability to employees for
whom said contributions were made. These contributions and contributions for benefits
represent defined contribution plans.

Expenses in respect of defined contribution plans | 506 | 481 |
B.
Defined benefit plans
The Group accounts for that part of the payment of compensation that is not covered by
contributions in defined contribution plans, as above, as a defined benefit plan for which an
employee benefit liability is recognized and for which the Group deposits amounts in
severance pay funds and in qualifying insurance policies. The net liability for the defined
benefit plan is presented under non-current liabilities.
Risks associated
with the Group’s liability for defined benefit obligations refer to deviations
in salary increases, deviations in assets performances from the expectation, as well as changes
in the interest rate environment.
For sensitivity analyses, reflecting the effect of changes in salary increase assumptions and
interest rate, see 4 hereinafter.

TAXES ON INCOME
A.
Tax laws applicable to the Group
’s
companies
1.
The Dollar regulations
The Company, being a "foreign investment company", elected to be taxed as from the year
2009, based upon its results in dollars and according to applicable income tax regulations
(hereinafter - "the Dollar regulations").
2.
Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 ("the
Investment Law")
The Company is subject to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959
which was amended last in 2010 (hereinafter -
“the Amendment to the Law”). The
Amendment to the Law provisions applies to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011
and thereafter by a preferred company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment
to the Law.
The Amendment provides that only companies in Development Area A will be entitled to
the grants track and that they will be entitled to receive benefits under this track and under
the tax benefits track at the same time. In addition, a preferred enterprise track was
introduced, which mainly provides
a uniform and reduced tax rate for all the company’s
income entitled to benefits. On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in
National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the
Years 2013 and 2014) - 2013, which raised the tax rates on preferred income as from the
2014 tax year as follows: 9% for Development Area A and 16% for the rest of the country.
As stated in Note 1, the Company's factory is not located in Development Area A, and
therefore the Company's tax rate on preferred income is 16%.
The Amendment to the Law also provides that no tax will apply to a dividend distributed
out of preferred income to a shareholder that is a company, for both the distributing
company and the shareholder. A tax rate of 20% shall apply to a dividend distributed out
of preferred income to an individual shareholder or foreign resident, subject to double
taxation prevention treaties.
The Company complies with the conditions provided in the amendment to the Law for the
Encouragement of Capital Investments for inclusion in the scope of the tax benefits track.
On November 15, 2021 the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for the
2021 and 2022 Budget Years) - 2021 (hereinafter: "the Economic Efficiency Law") was
published as well as a Temporary Order to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital
Investments - 1959 (hereinafter: "the temporary order"), which offers a reduced tax rate
arrangement to companies that received an exemption from corporate tax under the
aforesaid law. The temporary order provided that companies that choose to apply the
temporary order, which is effective until November 14, 2022, will be entitled to a reduced
tax rate on the "release" of exempt profits (hereinafter: "the beneficiary corporate tax
rate"). The release of exempt profits makes it possible to distribute them at a reduced rate
of corporate tax at the company level based on the rate of the profits being distributed
pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Amendment.
NOTE 13: -
TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)
The reduced corporate tax rate will be determined according to the rate of exempt profits
the company chooses to release from its entire exempt profits, and will be between 40%
and 70% of the corporate tax rate that would have applied to the revenue in the year it was
produced if it had not been exempt, but in any event no less than 6%.
Furthermore, a company that chooses to release its exempt profits and pay a beneficiary
corporate tax rate will be required to invest in its enterprise, within a period of 5 years
beginning from the tax year it elected, an amount calculated according to a formula
provided in the temporary order (30% of the exempt income multiplied by the corporate
tax rate and multiplied by the release rate). The investment will be made in productive
assets (with the exclusion of buildings), research and development in Israel and salaries to
new employees of the enterprise. Failure to comply with this condition will require the
company to pay additional corporate tax.
In addition, according to the Economic Efficiency Law an amendment was made to
Section 74 of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 with respect
to identifying the sources of dividend distributions as of August 15, 2021.
The Company applied the temporary order in 2022.
3.
Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969
The Company currently qualifies as an “Industrial Company” as defined in the Law for the
Encouragement of Industry (Taxes) - 1969 and accordingly it is entitled to benefits, of
which the most significant one is higher rates of depreciation than those prescribed in the
Israeli tax ordinance.
B.
Tax rates applicable to the Group
1.

USD 786 thousand) for temporary differences in the amount of USD 4,000 thousand (2023:

Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is
probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
