Expenses for the First Quarter of 2011 in contrast with the First
Quarter of 2010

with net earnings totaling approximately NIS 636.7 million, in
contrast with NIS 475.6 million in the same quarter in 2011; anincrease of 33.9%. The increase is explained by an increase of
approximately 11.39% in turnover in identical stores, and the
opening of four new stores in Rosh Haayin, Netanya, Ashdod, andBeer Sheba that opened on April 12, 2011, on May 31, 2012, on
February 7, 2012 and on March 20, 2012 respectively.

The Company, which increased its sales turnover by approximately
34% (in the present quarter vs. the parallel quarter last year) did so
while remaining committed throughout to the consumer to providethe least expensive prices, even at the expense of a decrease in gross
profits.
Under this policy, the Company believes that customer loyalty,
reflected in increased identical-store revenue (an increase of 11.4%),will help improve the trade agreements with suppliers and increase
gross profit but not at the expense of the consumer. The Company is
establishing its status among consumers as a company that sellsproducts in its branches at the lowest price. In this way, the
Company maintains the loyalty of its customers and its market
share. This is the basic principle that constitutes the main engine ofCompany growth and for strengthening its brand. The Company’s
![Page 8: Rami Levy Chain Stores Hashikma Marketing 2006 … Levy Chain Stores Hashikma Marketing 2006 Ltd. (“The Company”) Board of Directors Report on the State of the Company’s Business](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022805/5ca5254c88c99388188c04ae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

policies, as aforesaid, resulted in a significant increase in sales
during this quarter, a growth attributed to both the opening of new
stores and a marked increase in sales in identical stores (11.39%). Onthe other hand, the reduction in prices and the comprehensive
campaigns resulted, as aforesaid, in a reduction in the percentage of
gross profits in this quarter.
All along, the Company presents an increase in sales turnover,which allows it to improve its trading terms with suppliers and even
improve its gross profitability without affecting competitive prices,
quality, and service provided to customers.
The opening of new branches, improved terms of trade, andadvancement of payments to suppliers, whenever necessary, will
also improve gross profitability. The Company wishes to point out
that as of the writing of this report, it manages its tradingagreements, in which its purchasing power includes the purchasing
power of the Company together with the purchasing power of the
franchisee, who benefits from the Company’s terms of trade. As ofthe writing of this report, the Company’s purchasing power,
together with that of the franchisee, reflects a business with a sales
turnover exceeding NIS 2.8 billion a year. This fact helps theCompany and will help the Company improve its terms of trade
even under stiff competition to prevailing in market conditions,
without affecting the competitive prices that it offers its customers.
Sales, Marketing, Administrative and General Expenses – TotaledNIS 108.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, in contrast with NIS
85.6 million during the same quarter in 2011; an increase of 26.7%.

2011 to 15.99% in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in the
percentage of sales expenses is primarily attributed to the growth insales turnover and as part of Company policy to constantly improve

Changes in the economic environment:
In the third quarter of 2008, the global markets experienced a
financial crisis that peaked with the collapse of internationalfinancial institutions and the nationalization of insurance companies
and banks. As a result of the global financial crisis, the global
economy recorded decreased growth, which affected the Israelimarket as well. During 2010 and in the first half of 2011, the world
economy showed a trend towards recovery from the financial crisis.
However, the ramifications of the crisis in the Euro bloc are stillbeing felt in the form of financial instability. The Israeli market
continues to grow although social and political developments in the
Middle East might affect economic activity. During the second half

of 2011, Israel experienced social protests, largely due to living costs
and the demand for government reform.
One of the ramifications of the financial crisis was the continued
growth in market shares of private supermarket chains. The Groupbelieves that this trend can be attributed to, inter alia, a shift of
customers from chains that are not discount chains to less expensive
chains, something that increased as a result of the financial crisis,and subsequently an increase in sales at companies that specialize in
discount stores. Another effect of the financial crisis was reflected
in the transition from purchasing expensive brands to inexpensive
brands.

Independent Auditors Report for Shareholders ofRami Levy Chain Stores Hashikma Marketing 2006 Ltd.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial information for thisinterim period based on our review.
We did not review the financial information in the summary interim period for acompany that was consolidated proportionately, the assets of which that are included inthe consolidation, and constitute approximately 5.25% of all of the consolidated assetsas at March 31, 2012. Those revenues are included in the consolidation formingapproximately 6.46% of total consolidated revenues for the three months ending on thatdate. The summary of the financial information for the interim period of that companywas reviewed by other auditors whose reports were furnished to us, and in our opinion,insofar as it relates to the financial information in respect of that company, is based onthe reports by the other auditors.
The Review ScopeWe conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard 1 of the Institute ofCertified Public Accountants in Israel, “Review of Financial Information for InterimPeriods Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.” The review of financialinformation for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of personsresponsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and otherreview procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted inaccordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently doesnot enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant mattersthat might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
