CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
|

On February 24, 2016, a motion to certify a derivative action (hereinafter - the “Motion”) was received at the offices of the parent company, Willi-Food. The Motion was filed with the
District Court (Economic Department) in Tel Aviv by Yaad Peer Management Services Ltd. (hereinafter - the “Applicant”), which holds shares of Willi-Food. The motion was filed against all directors and office holders in the Company, and
Willi-Food and the Company were added as respondents to the Motion. The Motion deals with the Applicant’s claim for damages suffered by the Willi-Food, which is estimated by the Applicant as of the filing of the Motion to be approximately
$3 million, due to an alleged violation of the directors’ and officers’ fiduciary duty, duty of care and duty of expertise towards Willi-Food in connection with a $3 million investment in a company registered in the Czech Republic and
which holds an inactive hotel in the Czech Republic. According to the Applicant, the investment is not related in any way to the activity of the Company and was probably used to assist the then controlling shareholder of Willi-Food in
other matters or to cover his other obligations.
On August 16, 2018, the Company filed a notice with the court of its intention to file a lawsuit against certain office holders of the Company in connection with the events which are the
subject matter of the Motion, rendering a derivative action unnecessary. In view of Company's notice, the Motion was stricken on October 4, 2018 and the case was closed. On November 4, 2018 the Company filed a NIS 4,183,208 lawsuit
against the Company’s former controlling shareholder, Mr. Gregory Gurtovoy, and against five former directors and senior office holders - Israel Joseph Schneerson, Pavel Buber, Iram Ephraim Graiver. Ilan Menachem Admon and Zalman Vigler
(hereafter jointly: the “Defendants”). According to the Company, the Defendants conspired to cause the use of millions of NIS of Company funds as collaterals to loans extended to foreign private companies related to the Company’s
controlling shareholders without obtaining the required approvals from the Company’s organs and without issuing the required report to Company’s shareholders. The lawsuit is based on the claim that an agreement signed by the Company,
whereunder it has allegedly invested in the bonds of a Czech company, is not a genuine agreement; rather, it is claimed, the purpose of the agreement was to assist the then controlling shareholders (Mr. Gregory Gurtovoy and others) to
secure private loans extended by the Austrian bank Meinl, while using the Company's funds for their concealed and inappropriate purposes. The Company demanded that the Defendants compensate it for the funds that were not refunded to the
Company (in NIS values) plus compensation at the rate of the alternative yield and a compensation equal to the amounts paid by the Company to enable the refund of the funds. On January 24, 2019, the Defendants filed statements of defense,
various motions (to dismiss in limine and/or delay the proceedings) and a counterclaim against Willi-Food and the Company. In their counterclaim the Defendants claimed that they are entitled to funding of their legal defense and/or indemnification and exculpation from the Company in respect of the lawsuit. Since the Defendants are accused of breaching their fiduciary duty to the Company, Company’s management is of the
opinion that their request for legal funding and/or indemnification and exculpation will be rejected. On December 25, 2019, the Court issued a resolution which approves an application to give a Court ruling status to a compromise
agreement signed between G. Willi-Food and Mr. Ilan Menachem Admon; according to the said compromise agreement, the mutual claims lodged on behalf of the parties in this filed were rejected without issuing an order for court costs. The
proceedings relating to the other defendants shall continue as planned. A pre-trial hearing was set for April 29, 2021. In view of the above, Company’s management is of the opinion that the disclosure in the financial statements and in
the notes thereto is sufficient.

On July 23, 2017, Mr. Iram Graiver, former CEO of the Company and Willi-Food (hereinafter - “Mr. Graiver”) filed a lawsuit to the Regional Labor Court in Tel Aviv Jaffa (hereinafter - “the Labor Court”)
claiming payment of certain social rights and other compensation from the Company in the total amount of NIS 2,377,305. On November 26, 2017, the Company filed a statement of defense. On July 27, 2017, the Company filed a lawsuit in the
Labor Court against Mr. Graiver demanding that he repay certain salary, bonus in respect of 2016 and reimbursement of expenses that he allegedly took unlawfully from the Company amounting to NIS 1,694,325. According to the Company, Mr.
Graiver breached his fiduciary duty and his duty of care towards the Company as well as the relevant provisions of the Companies Law requiring approval by the General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders for such payments (which were
not obtained in this case). On November 2, 2017, a resolution was issued by the court for joint hearings regarding the two proceedings described above. On November 26, 2017 statements of defense were filed by the Company and Mr.
Graiver, and on March 7, 2018 a preliminary hearing was held. The parties are in the process of document discovery and review. Hearings were held on January 15, 2020 and June 7, 2020. Further proof hearing has yet to be schedule. In
view of the above, Company’s management is of the opinion that the disclosure regarding the proceedings in the financial statements and in the notes thereto is sufficient.

On October 29, 2009, the Company, and the subsidiary Euro European Dairies Ltd. (hereafter – the “Companies”) filed with the Rishon-LeZion Magistrates Court a lawsuit demanding the refund
of import permit fees in the total amount of approximately NIS 1.3 million. In a ruling issued on May 13, 2015, the Rishon-LeZion Magistrates Court accepted the position of the Companies to the effect that the fees in respect of early
registration for food import permits were collected unlawfully and that the Companies and other food importers have an independent cause of action to demand the repayment of the fees that were paid, by virtue of the Unjust Enrichment Law,
1979 (hereafter – the “Law”). In addition, a partial exemption from refund was determined in accordance with Section 2 of the Law in respect of an amount equivalent to 30% of the amount of fees claimed and proven, due to the Ministry of
Health’s mechanism for regulating imported food, which granted the Companies protection from criminal and civil lawsuits in respect of damage caused to consumers from damaged imported food. As a result of the ruling, the Company received
a total of approximately NIS 1.1 million in 2015. After the Ministry of Health appealed the ruling, a partial ruling was issued on April 19, 2017 that upheld the ruling of the Magistrates Court in connection with the refund of fees and
the rate of fees to be refunded; however, the issue of proving damages remained outstanding. On November 15, 2015, the Companies filed a second lawsuit against the Ministry of Health for the refund of early registration fees for food
import permits in the total amount of approximately NIS 2 million, which were paid by the Companies in 2009-2016. On January 1, 2019, it was proposed by the court that the parties proceed to mediation. On December 31, 2020, a settlement
agreement was signed under which the Company is entitled to receive NIS 0.6 million in addition to NIS 1.1 received in 2015.

On December 1, 2013, the Company and Euro European Dairies Ltd filed with the Rishon-LeZion Magistrates Court a lawsuit against the Ministry of Health demanding the refund of customs
clearance fees in the total amount of approximately NIS 2.1 million. The fees were paid to the Ministry of Health in respect of clearance of food products from the port, which, according to the Companies, was in effect carried out by the
Customs Authorities and therefore the fees were collected unlawfully. On May 13, 2015, a ruling was issued stating that the closure release fees were collected by the Health Ministry unlawfully. The ruling ordered the Ministry of Health
to repay 70% of the fees paid by the Companies. On July 8, 2015, appeals were filed by both parties. After several hearings, the court proposed that the parties proceed to mediation. The parties agreed to enter into a mediation process on
all issues included in the appeal and the pending lawsuits. On December 31, 2020, a settlement agreement was signed, under which a total of NIS 1.3 million will be paid to the Companies. On January 9, 2020, the Magistrate's Court upheld
the settlement. During April 2020 the company received approximately NIS 1.3 million from the Ministry of Health.

In March 2019, the Yavne municipality issued an amended municipal tax assessment (hereafter – the “Assessment”) regarding an asset located in Yavne which the Company operates. As part of
the Assessment, occupied land with an area of 3,600 square meters was added to the amount of the Company’s assessment for 2020 and going forward. The municipality also amended the Assessment retroactively in respect of the years
2016-2019, such that according to the municipality the additional amount of NIS 734,186 was due as of the end of 2020. The Company contested the amended assessment and filed an appeal and an administrative petition, objecting to the
additional amount payable in respect of 2020 and thereafter and to the municipality’s decision to apply the amendment retroactively to the period 2016-2019, contrary to a compromise agreement. As part of negotiations that were conducted
commensurate with the legal proceedings, an outline of a final settlement was reached with the Yavne Municipality, whereby the Company will pay a total of NIS 380 thousand in settlement of all the claims made by the municipality with
regard to the additional land as mentioned above through December 31, 2020.

A lawsuit and motion to approve as class action was filed on July 17, 2019 against the Company and 11 other respondents with the Jerusalem District Court for misleading consumers by
allegedly not complying with the food labeling standard in connection with certain products. The applicant claimed that the respondents have jointly caused monetary damages of NIS 5 and more than NIS 3 million to him and the other members
of the group of plaintiffs, respectively. The Company filed an application to dismiss the motion. On May 12, 2020 a verdict was reached deleting the motion and dismissing the lawsuit subject to payment of immaterial amounts by the Company
to the claimant in the case.

A lawsuit and motion to approve as class action was filed with the central district court on May 7, 2020 against the Company and two other respondents. The applicant claimed that the Company marketed
several products as approved by the chief rabbinate of Israel before such rabbinate approval was obtained, thus allegedly violating various laws. The applicant contends that at this time he cannot
estimate the amount damages to the members of the class action. A response to the request for approval was filed on February 4, 2021, and a pre-trial hearing was set for March 15, 2021. Further hearing has yet to be schedule. At this
early stage, the Company and its legal counsel are unable to assess the chances of success of the class action.

A lawsuit and motion to approve as class action was filed with the Haifa District Court on June 24, 2020 against the Company, Euro European Dairies, and another respondent. The applicant
claimed that the Company marketed several products with misleading captions contrary to provisions of the law and relevant regulations. A response to the request for approval was submitted on November 9, 2020, and a pre-trial hearing was
scheduled for July 12, 2021. At this early stage, the Company and its legal counsel are unable to assess the chances of success of the class action.

|
A lawsuit and motion to approve as class action was filed with the Haifa district court on September 9, 2020 against Euro European Dairies. The applicant claimed that Euro European Dairies violated its
obligations to import and market Gaude cheese in the quantities and prices it undertook as part of duty-free tenders that Euro European Dairies had received. The applicant claims that he and the members of the group suffered damages in
the amount of NIS 57 million. A response to the request for approval was submitted on February 1, 2021, and a pre-trial hearing was set for September 13, 2021. At this early stage, the Company and its legal counsel are unable to assess
the chances of success of the class action.

On May 26, 2020, a lawsuit was filed by Tnuva against Wili-Food and the Company. According to the claimant, the packaging of several products marketed by the Company constitutes an
alleged infringing imitation of the packaging of Tnuva products. As part of the lawsuit, the claimant requested a declaratory judgment that Tnuva's rights were violated, permanent restraining orders to prevent the continued use of the
product packaging by the Company, product collection orders from points of sale and an order to provide accounts regarding the Company's revenue from sales of these products. In addition, the claimant requested compensation in the amount
of NIS 2.6 million. On July 26, 2020, a settlement agreement was signed between the parties, which concluded the proceedings in the case according to which Tnuva waived its financial claims against Willi-Food.

Executive Sessions – Under Nasdaq rules, U.S. domestic listed companies, must have a regularly scheduled meeting at which only independent directors are present. We do not have such executive
sessions.
|
|
• |
Compensation of Officers - Under Nasdaq rules, the Company must adopt a formal written compensation committee charter addressing the scope of the
compensation committee's responsibilities, including structure, processes and membership requirements, among others. We do not have such a formal written charter.
|
|
• |
Nominations of Directors - Under Nasdaq rules, U.S. domestic listed companies, must have a nominations committee comprised solely of independent
directors and must have director nominees selected or recommended by a majority of its independent directors. Our directors are not nominated in this manner.
|
|
• |
Nominations Committee Charter or Board Resolution - Under Nasdaq rules, U.S. domestic listed companies, must adopt a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the
nominations process and such related matters as may be required under the federal securities laws. We do not have such a formal written charter or board resolution.
|
|
• |
Quorum - Under Nasdaq rules, U.S. domestic listed company's by-laws provide for a quorum of at least 33 1/3 percent of the outstanding shares of the company’s common voting stock. According to
our articles our quorum should be at least 25 percent of the outstanding shares of our common voting stock.
|
|
• |
Review of Related Party Transactions: Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, domestic listed companies must conduct an appropriate review and oversight of all related party transactions for potential
conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis by the company’s audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors. Although Israeli law requires us to conduct an appropriate review and maintain oversight of all
related-party transactions similar to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we follow the definitions and requirements of the Companies Law in determining the kind of approval required for a related-party transaction, which tend to be more rigorous
than the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
|
|
• |
Shareholder Approval of Certain Equity Compensation: Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities in connection with equity-based compensation
of officers, directors, employees or consultants. The Company has indicated that it will receive shareholder approval as required by Israeli law, including upon issuance of options to directors or to controlling shareholders.

Note 1 - Basis of preparation
|
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out in note 28. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years
presented, unless otherwise stated.
|
The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Israeli Shekels (NIS), which is also the company functional currency.
|
The conversion from New Israeli Shekels (NIS) into U.S. dollars was made at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2020, on which USD 1.00 equaled NIS 3.215 The use of USD is solely for the
convenience of the reader.
|
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs).
|
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with adopted IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Company management to exercise judgment in
applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effect are disclosed in note 2.
|
Basis of measurement
|
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except
for the following items (refer to individual accounting policies for details):
|
- Financial instruments - fair value through profit or loss
|
- Net defined benefit liability
|
- Contingent consideration
|
Note 2 - Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
|
The company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
|
Note 2 - Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)
|
Estimates and assumptions:
|
- Revenue recognition - provision of rights to return goods
|
- Defined benefit scheme - actuarial assumptions
|
- The determination of the incremental borrowing rate used to measure lease liabilities
|
- Legal proceedings - estimates of claims and legal processes
|
- Inventory – provision of slow moving inventory
|
- Fair value measurement
several assets and liabilities included in the company financial and non-financial assets and liabilities utilizes market observables inputs and data as far as possible.
Inputs used in determining fair value measurement are categorized into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilized are (the 'fair value hierarchy'):
• Level 1: Quoted priced in active markets for identical items (unadjusted)
• Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than level 1 inputs.
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs (i.e. not derived from market data).
The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item.
Transfers of items between levels are recognized in the period they occur
|
The Company measures several items at fair value:
|
- Current Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (see note 3)
|
- Non-current Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (see note 3)
|
For more detailed information in relation to the fair value measurement of the items above, please refer to the applicable notes.
|
Note 3 - Financial instruments risk management
|
The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
|
- Credit risk
|
- Other market price risk
|
- Foreign exchange risk
|
- Global changes in raw-material prices
|
Note 3 - Financial instruments risk management (continued)
|
In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company's objectives, policies and processes for

General objectives, policies and processes
|
Credit risk
|
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is mainly exposed to
credit risk from credit sales. It is Company policy, implemented locally, to assess the credit risk of new customers before entering contracts. Such credit ratings are taken into account by local business practices.
|
The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions
are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represents the maximum open amount.
|
Note 3 - Financial instruments risk management (continued)
|
Other market price risk
|
The Company is exposed to price risks of shares, certificate of participation in mutual fund and bonds, which are classified as financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss.
|
The effect of a 10% increase in the value of the portfolio securities investment held at the reporting date would, if all other variables held constant, have resulted in an increase in the
fair value through profit or loss and net assets of NIS 16,840 thousands (2019: NIS 14,154 thousands). A 10% decrease in their value would, on the same basis, have decreased the fair value through other profit or loss reserve and net assets
by the same amount.
|
Foreign exchange risk
|
Foreign exchange risk arises when the Company enters into transactions denominated in a currency other than its functional currency. The company buys its inventories mostly in USD and EURO
and sells its products in NIS. Foreign exchange exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.
|
As of 31 December, the Company's net exposure to foreign exchange risk was as follows:
|

|
2019
|

Total net exposure
|

|

|
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the NIS against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting
foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated
monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit and other equity where the NIS strengthens 10% against the relevant currency.
For a 10% weakening of the NIS against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative.

Note 5 – segment information
|
The company has two reportable segments:
|
- Import- import, export, marketing and distribution of food products.
|
- Non-banking credit
|
Although the "non-banking credit" segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds to be a reportable segment, management has concluded that this segment should be reported separately, as it
is closely monitored by the strategic chief operating decision-maker as a potential growth business segment and is expected to materially contribute to the Company's revenue in future.
|
Factors that management used to identify the Company's reportable segments
|
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different marketing
strategies.
|
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as
the management team including the Chief Executive Officer, and the co-chairman of the board of directors.

Note 19 - Leases
|
All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for leases for low value assets and leases with a duration of 12 months or less.
|
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate of borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is
used.
|
Right of use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability.
|
Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.
Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter period of the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset.
|
Nature of leasing activities
|
The Company enters into agreements for the lease of trucks and private vehicles for periods of 5 and 3 years respectively. The Company's lease payment liability is secured by the lessor’s
legal ownership of the assets.

The current legal retirement age is 62 for women and 67 for men. Therefore, according to the plan, an employee who has been employed by the Company for at least one consecutive year (and
under circumstances defined by law) and is dismissed after the said period is entitled to severance pay. The rate of compensation stipulated in the Law is the employee's last salary for each year of employment.
|
As part of the plan, the Company and its subsidiaries are obligated to deposit amounts, at a rate to be determined by law, in order to secure the accrual of severance pay. As stipulated in
the Extension Order (Consolidated Version) of compulsory pension under the laws in Israel (hereinafter: "the Extension Order"). In the reporting year, the Company's rate of provisions for severance pay is 6.5%, to be deposited in a pension
fund / insurance fund.
|
The actuary is not employed by the Company and is not dependent thereon. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the relating costs of current and past services is calculated
as the present value (without deducting the plan’s assets) of the future payments expected to settle the liability, in consideration for the current and past services rendered by the employee.
|
The plan detailed above exposes the Company to the following risks: "investment risk", i.e., the risk that the program assets will bear a negative yield and thus reduce the plan's assets in a
way that does not suffice to cover the obligation. i.e., risk of actuarial assumptions regarding the expected increase in wages will be underestimated Compared with the actual wage increases, thereby exposing the Company to the risk that the
obligation will increase accordingly.
|
The current value of the Company's post-employment benefits obligation is based on an actuarial estimation. The actuarial estimation was performed by external actuary, member of Israel
Association of Actuaries.

The assumptions regarding future mortality rates are based on mortality tables published and approved by the Ministry of Finance. The mortality rate of an active participant at retirement age
(67 for men, 62 for women), is 0.6433% for men and 0.3574% for women.
|
The provisions of Standard 19 stipulate that interest used to capitalize assets and liabilities should reflect risk free interest that is interest on highly rated corporate bonds with similar
maturity periods and terms. Until November 2014, absent quality data and information about bonds of this type, what was utilized was the interest on long-term index linked government bonds (index linked Galil)/or long-term shackle government
bonds (NIS Dawn - “Shachar”). Following a decision by the Securities Authority, according to which there is a deep market for corporate bonds, and according to the publication of Accounting Staff Position number 12-1, as of this report, the
capitalization interest is that of high quality corporate bonds. Use of a quality curve as stated above, is published by quoting companies which specialize in this field. The nominal interest rate for the capitalization appropriate for
corporate bonds with high rankings as aforesaid, as of December 31, 2020, is 1.73% per year.

- On February 24, 2016, a motion to certify a derivative action (hereinafter - the “Motion”) was received at the parent Company’s offices. The
Motion was filed with the District Court (Economic Department) in Tel Aviv by Yaad Peer Management Services Ltd. (hereinafter - the “Applicant”), that holds shares of the parent Company. The motion was filed against all directors and office
holders in the Company. The parent Company and the Company were added as respondents to the Motion. The Motion deals with the Applicant’s claim for damages suffered by the parent Company, which is estimated by the Applicant, as of the filing
of the Motion, at approximately $ 3 million, due to an alleged violation of the directors’ and officers’ fiduciary duty, duty of care and duty of expertise towards the parent Company in connection with a $3 million investment in a company
registered in the Czech Republic and which holds an inactive hotel in the Czech Republic. According to the Applicant, the investment is not related in any way to the activity of the Company and is probably used to assist the controlling
shareholder of the parent Company in other matters or to cover his other obligations.
On August 16 2018, the Company filed a notice whereby it intends to lodge a lawsuit against the office holders in connection with the events which are the subject matter
of the motion and therefore it is no longer needed to discuss the motion to approve a derivative action. In view of Company's notice, the said motion was stricken out and by a court ruling on October 4, 2018 and the case was closed. on
November 4, 2018 the Company filed a NIS 4,183,208 lawsuit against the Company’s former controlling shareholder – Mr. Gregory Gurtovoy and against five (former) Company directors and senior office holder - Israel Joseph Schneerson, Pavel
Buber, Iram Ephraim Graiver. Ilan Menachem Admon and Zalman Vigler (hereafter jointly: the “Defendants”). According to the Company, the Defendants conspired to cause the use of millions of NIS of the Company funds as collaterals to loans
extended to foreign private companies related to the Company’s controlling shareholders on dates which are relevant to the lawsuit without obtaining the required approvals from the Company’s directors and without issuing the required report
to Company’s shareholders. The lawsuit is based on the claim that an agreement signed by the Company, whereunder it has allegedly invested in the bonds of a Czech company, is not a genuine agreement; rather, it is claimed, the purpose of the
agreement was to assist the then controlling shareholders (Gregory Gurtovoy and others) to secure private loans extended by the Austrian bank Meinl, while using the company's funds for their concealed and inappropriate purposes. The Company
demands that the Defendants compensate it for the funds that were not refunded to the Company (in NIS values) plus a compensation at the rate of the alternative yield and a compensation equal to the amounts paid by the Company to enable the
refund of the funds. On January 24, 2019, the Defendants filed statements of defense, various motions (to dismiss in limine and/or delay the proceedings) and a counterclaim against willi-food and against the Company as part of this
proceeding. In their counterclaim the Defendants claims that they are entitled for funding of their legal defense and/or for indemnification and exemption from the Company in respect of the lawsuit and
request the Court to order the Company to fund their legal defense against the Company’s lawsuit. Since the Defendants are accused of breaching their fiduciary duty to the Company, Company’s management is of the opinion that their claims on
this matter will be rejected. On December 25, 2019, the Court issued a resolution which approves an application to give a Court ruling status to a compromise agreement signed between G. Willi-Food and Mr. Ilan Admon; according to the said
compromise agreement, the mutual claims lodged on behalf of the parties in this filed were rejected without issuing an order for court costs. The proceedings relating to the other defendants shall continue as planned. A pre-trial hearing was
set to April 29, 2021. In view of the above, Company’s management is of the opinion that the disclosure in the financial statements and in the notes thereto is sufficient.

Magistrates Court a lawsuit demanding the refund of import permit fees at the total amount of approximately NIS 1.3 million. In a ruling issued on May 13 2015, the Rishon-LeZion Magistrates Court accepted the position of the Companies to the
effect that the fees in respect of early registration for food import permits were collected unlawfully and that the Companies and other food importers have an independent cause to demand the repayment of the fees that were paid, by virtue of
the Unjust Enrichment Law, 1979 (hereafter – the “Law”). In addition, a partial exemption from refund was determined in accordance with Section 2 of the Law in respect of an amount equivalent to 30% of the amounts of fees claimed and proven,
due to the Ministry of Health’s mechanism for regulating imported food, which granted the Companies protection from criminal and civil lawsuits in respect of damage caused to consumers from damaged imported food. As a result of the ruling,
the Company received in 2015 a total of approximately NIS 1.1 million. After the Ministry of Health appealed against the ruling, on April 19 ,2017, a partial ruling was issued that upholds the rulings of the Magistrates Court unchanged in
connection with the refund of fees and the rate of fees to be refunded; however, the question relating to the threshold for proving the damage remained outstanding. On November 15, 2015, the Companies filed a second lawsuit against the
Ministry of Health for the refund of early registration fees for food import permits at the total amount of approximately NIS 2 million, which were paid by the Companies in 2009-2016. On January 1, 2019, it was proposed by the court to go to
the outline of mediation. On December 31, 2020, a settlement agreement was signed under which the Company is entitled to receive NIS 0.6 million in addition to NIS 1.1 million received in 2015.

- On December 1, 2013, the Companies filed to the Rishon-LeZion Magistrates Court a lawsuit against the Ministry of Health, demanding the
refund of customs clearance fees at the total amount of approximately NIS 2.1 million. The fees were paid to the Ministry of Health in respect of clearance of food products from the port, which, according to the Companies, was in effect
carried out by the Customs Authorities and therefore the fees were collected unlawfully. On May 13, 2015, a ruling was issued stating that the closure release fees were collected by the Health Ministry unlawfully. The ruling ordered the
Ministry of Health to repay 70% of the fees paid by the Companies. On July 8, 2015, appeals were filed by both parties. After several appeals hearings, the court offered the parties to proceed to a mediation proceeding. The parties agreed to
enter into a mediation process on all issues included in the appeal and the pending lawsuits. On December 31, 2020, a settlement agreement was signed, under which a total of NIS 1.3 million will be paid to the Companies. On January 9, 2020,
the Magistrate's Court upheld the ruling. During April 2020 the company received approximately NIS 1.3 million from the ministry of health.

Note 27 – Events during and after the reporting period
|
- COVID 19 - In the first quarter of 2020, the corona virus began to spread around the world, an event declared by the World Health Organization as
a global epidemic (the "crisis"). As part of dealing with the crisis, many countries around the world, including Israel, have imposed restrictions on various activities in the economy, including movement and gatherings restrictions. The
crisis and the restrictions imposed and still pose challenges that were reflected in an unprecedented decline in business activity, both in terms of its intensity and in terms of the speed with which it occurred. In December 2020, the US Food
and Drug Administration approved, for the first time, the use of the vaccine to prevent the corona pandemic. In mid-December, an extensive vaccination campaign began in Israel, and as of the date of the report, a significant proportion of the
population has been immunized and the morbidity indices have declined significantly. Thus, the government has approved measures to alleviate the limitations, however, the development of different mutations of the virus still leads to
significant uncertainty regarding the continued spread of the virus and its intensity and how and when to exit the crisis. It should be emphasized that this is an ongoing event whose scope and duration are not under the Company's control and
therefore the Company is unable to assess the full extent of the economic impacts on its areas of activity.
The company is defined as an essential enterprise according to the Labor Service Law in Emergencies. The Company's business activity in the food sector during 2020 was
characterized by an increase in demand for the company's products.
During 2020, revenues of the Company increased by NIS 58.5 million, or 14.8%, to NIS 454.1 million from NIS 395.6 million recorded in fiscal year 2019. Revenues increased
primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to an increase in demand for the Company's line of products, primarily in retail chains, and due to a redirection of resources in favor of sales, increasing the variety of the Company's
products, improving the company visibility in the stores and improved inventory management. During 2020, the Company received many requests from its customers, mainly in the institutional market, to defer payments and / or payment layout, as
a result of their inability to meet payments due to the reduction and / or cessation of their business activities. The Company has reached agreements with its customers and most of their debts are insured with credit insurance and / or
through deposits and / or bank guarantees and / or promissory notes and / or personal guarantees, so that the effect of deferred payments and / or spread of debts on the Company's financial results is not material. The Company purchases its
goods from about 135 suppliers around the world, including the Far East, Europe, the United States, South America and Israel. As the crisis continues, the Company estimates that various restrictions on the production of products by some of
its suppliers may apply, which may make it difficult for the Company to import goods in sufficient quantities from those suppliers. It will be clarified that at the date of the report, the Company is not dependent on any of its suppliers.

Note 27 – Events during and after the reporting period (continued)
The Company holds a diverse portfolio of securities traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and other world exchanges, which totaled NIS 168.4 million as of December 31, 2020
(in addition to NIS 201.8 million in cash and cash equivalents) ("Investment Portfolio"). The uncertainty resulting from the crisis led to high volatility in the financial markets and sharp declines in the capital markets in Israel and around
the world during the first quarter of 2020, during which there was a significant decline in the value of the Company's securities portfolio. As of the second quarter of 2020, capital markets in Israel and around the world have recovered and
the company ended 2020 with a profit of 10.2 from the securities portfolio.

Note 28 – Accounting policies
|
Revenue
|
Performance obligations and timing of revenue recognition:
|
The majority of the Company's revenue is derived from selling food products in the Israeli market with revenue recognized in a point in time when control of the goods has transferred to the
customer. This is generally when the goods are delivered to the customer. However, for export sales, control might also be transferred when delivered either to the port of departure or port of arrival, depending on the specific terms of the
contract with a customer. There is limited judgement needed in identifying the point control passes: once physical delivery of the products to the agreed location has occurred, the Company no longer has physical possession, usually will have
a present right to payment and retains none of the significant risks and rewards of the goods in question.
|
Determining the transaction price:
|
Most of the Company's revenue is derived from pre-set prices with its customers, therefore the amount of revenue to be earned from each transaction is determined by reference to those prices
agreed with the customers. An exception to this principal is that in most cases, the Company enables specific customers to return products which they have not sold, despite that there is no agreement between the Company and its customers
regarding such returns and the Company does not have such policy. Historical experience enables the Company to estimate reliably the value of good that will be returned and restrict the amount of revenue that is recognized such that it is
highly probable that there will not be a reversal of previously recognized revenue when goods are return.
|
Inventories
|
Inventories are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
|
Weighted average cost is used to determine the cost of the inventories.
|
Basis of consolidation
|
Where the company has control over an investee, it is classified as a subsidiary. The company controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present: power over the investee,
exposure to variable returns from the investee, and the ability of the investor to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these
elements of control.
|
Note 28 – Accounting policies (continued)
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between
group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
|
Cash and Cash equivalents
|
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and term deposits in banks that are not restricted as to usage, with an original period to maturity of not more than three months.
|
Deposits that are restricted as to usage are classified as pledged deposits.
|
Deposits with an original period to maturity exceeding three months, which as of the statement of financial position do not exceed one year, are classified as short-term investments
|
Leases
|
The majority of the Company's accounting policies for leases are set out in note 19.
|
Identifying leases
|
The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are those contracts that satisfy the following criteria:
|
- There is an identified asset;
|
- The Company obtains substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset; and
|
- The company has the right to direct use of the asset
|
The Company considers whether the supplier has substantive substitution rights. If the supplier does have those rights, the contract is not identified as giving rise to a lease.
|
In determining whether the Company obtains substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset, the Company considers only the economic benefits that arise use of the asset, not
those incidental to legal ownership or other potential benefits.
|
In determining whether the Company has the right to direct use of the asset, the Company considers whether it directs how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use.
If there are no significant decisions to be made because they are pre-determined due to the nature of the asset, the Company considers whether it was involved in the design of the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose the
asset will be used throughout the period of use. If the contract or portion of a contract does not satisfy these criteria, the Company applies other applicable IFRSs rather than IFRS 16.
|
Note 28 – Accounting policies (continued)
|
Property, plant and equipment
|
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items, which are held for use in the manufacture or supply of goods or services, or leased to others, which are predicted to be used for more than
one period. The Company presents its property, plant and equipment items according to the cost model.
|
Under the cost method - a property, plant and equipment are presented at the balance sheet at cost (net of any investment grants), less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses. The cost includes the cost of the assets acquisition as well as costs that can be directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended
by management.
|
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method at rates considered adequate to depreciate the assets over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of leasehold improvements is
computed over the shorter of the term of the lease, including any extension period, where the Company intends to exercise such option, or their useful life.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is
recognized in the Income statement.
|
Goodwill
|
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and Contingent
liabilities of the subsidiary or jointly controlled entity recognized at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
|
Note 28 – Accounting policies (continued)
|
Provisions
|
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
|
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and
uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
|
Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
|
When some or all of the economic benefits to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that
reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
|
Deferred taxes
|
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position differs from its tax base.
|
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilized.
|
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax
liabilities/(assets) are settled/(recovered).
|
Defined benefit schemes
|
Defined benefit scheme surpluses and deficits are measured at:
|
- The fair value of plan assets at the reporting date; less
|
- Plan liabilities calculated using the projected unit credit method discounted to its present value using yields available on high quality
corporate bonds that have
maturity dates approximating to the terms of the liabilities and are denominated in the same currency as the post-employment benefit obligations; less
|
- The effect of minimum funding requirements agreed with scheme trustees.
|
Remeasurements of the net defined obligation are recognized directly within equity. The remeasurements include:
|
- Actuarial gains and losses.
|
- Return on plan assets (interest exclusive).
|
- Any asset ceiling effects.
|
Note 28 – Accounting policies (continued)
|
Service costs are recognized in profit or loss, and include current and past service costs as well as gains and losses on curtailments.
|
Net interest expense (income) is recognized in profit or loss, and is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation (asset) at the beginning of the annual period to the
balance of the net defined benefit obligation (asset), considering the effects of contributions and benefit payments during the period. Gains or losses arising from changes to scheme benefits or scheme curtailment are recognized immediately
in profit or loss.
|
Settlements of defined benefit schemes are recognized in the period in which the settlement occurs.
|
Share capital
|
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset.
|
The Company's ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments.
|
Impairment of non-financial assets
|
Impairment tests on goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year end. Other non-financial assets are subject to
impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less
costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly.
|
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the smallest group of assets to which it belongs for which there are
separately identifiable cash flows; its cash generating units ('CGUs'). Goodwill is allocated on initial recognition to each of the Company's CGUs that are expected to benefit from a business combination that gives rise to the goodwill.
|
Impairment charges are included in profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is
not reversed.
|
Financial assets
|
The Company classifies its financial assets into one of the categories discussed below, the Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:
|
Fair value through profit or loss-
|
Note 28 – Accounting policies (continued)
|
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period They are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair
value recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the finance income or expense line.
|
Amortized cost-
|
The Company's financial assets (liabilities) measured at amortized cost comprise trade and other receivables, loans to others, cash and cash equivalents and trade payables in the consolidated statement of
financial position.
|
Impairment provisions for trade receivables are recognized based on the simplified approach within IFRS 9 using a provision matrix in the determination of the lifetime expected credit losses.
During this process the probability of the non-payment of the trade receivables is assessed. This probability is then multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the
trade receivables.
|
Treasury shares
|
The cost of Company shares held by the Company or its consolidated companies is deducted from shareholders’ equity as a separate component.
