customers. The revenue, expenses, and operating profits of

the communications company from communications

operations in the first quarter of 2012 are insignificant.

a pilot in the third quarter of 2010 to provide insurance

services at the Shilat Branch. It is the Company’s intention,if the pilot succeeds, to set up a joint insurance agency

together with an insurance company, in order to operate the

agency in its branches, and to provide its customers withthe possibility of purchasing insurance via a legally

Rami Levy Shivuk Hashikma Stores Chain 2006 Ltd. Operating

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

Quarter of 2010

Total Company Sales – The Company ended the first quarter of 2012

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 sales areas (not including warehouses) in the first quarter of

2012 were 32,626 m². In contrast with 27,178 m² (on average) in thefirst quarter of 2011. Sales per square meter in the first quarter of

2012 totaled NIS 19.52 thousand in contrast with NIS 17.5 thousand

in the first quarter of 2011.

Gross Company Profit – During the first quarter of 2012, gross profittotaled NIS 140.3 million, in contrast with NIS 115.9 million in the

parallel quarter of 2011; an increase of 21%. The percentage of gross

profits from sales in the first quarter of 2012 was 22.03%, in contrast

with 24.37% in the parallel quarter of 2011.

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

-8-

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%.

The percentage of the aforementioned expenses from sales

decreased from 18.00% in the first quarter of 2011 to 17.04% in the

first quarter of 2012.

Sales and Marketing Expenses – Totaled during the first quarter of

2012 to NIS 101.8 million, in contrast with NIS 76.9 million in 2011;

an increase of 32.41%. The percentage of the aforementionedexpenses from sales decreased from 16.17% in the first quarter of

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

its operational efficiency.

first quarter of 2011 to - 1.04% in the first quarter of 2012. The

by a reduction in the percentage of gross profit.

The operating profit before depreciation and interest EBITDA was

in the first quarter of 2012 NIS 36.8 million, in contrast with NIS 34.3

million in the same quarter of 2011; an increase of 7.4% that is

primarily attributed to the increase in operating profit.

The Company’s Net Financing Income – Totaled in the first quarter

of 2012 approximately NIS 2 million in contrast with the net

financing income of NIS 0.2 million in the same quarter of 2011. Thefinancing expenses are primarily attributed to interest and linkage of

NIS 80 million that were issued by the Company in 2007 (up to theperiod of the financial statements, one half of the principal of the

bonds had been paid). The financing revenues are primarily

in the chain.

2. Description of Market Risks and Risk Management

2.1 The Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Comptroller, Mr. OferBaharel, is responsible for Company Risk Management, under the

supervision of Company CEO Mr. Rami Levi. Financing of the

Company’s current activities relies on supplier credit. TheCompany pays its suppliers in accordance with the existing

arrangements between the parties.

The Company invests the money available to it primarily in interest-

bearing deposits, short-term loans, financial funds, and grade bondsThe Company is exposed to index fluctuations due to the public

offering of index-linked bonds in the amount of NIS 80 million. The

Company’s subsidiary purchased in 2008 approximately NIS 17.6million (n.v.) of bonds that it issued, and as of the date of the

Statement of Financial Position, the subsidiary holds NIS 8,792,746

nominal value of Company bonds.

the first quarter of 2012, there were no significant changes in

Company exposure to market risks and its management in relationto the Company’s statements in this area for the year ending

December 31, 2011.

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

Page 16: 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

-16-

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.

IntroductionWe have reviewed the attached financial information for Rami Levy Chain StoresHashikma Marketing 2006 Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter: “The Group”),including the Summary Consolidated Statements of Financial Status as of March 31,2012 and the Summary of Consolidated Statements for Comprehensive Profit and Loss,Changes in Equity, and Cash Flows for the three months ending on that date.

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
