a.1 Principles of consolidation

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements the investments of one company in another, balances of asset and liability accounts, revenue transactions, costs and expenses were eliminated, as well as the effects of transactions conducted between the companies. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented within consolidated equity and net income.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains direct or indirect control over an entity and ceases when the company loses control. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired are included in the consolidated statements of income and of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control. Income and expenses of a subsidiary, in which the Company loses control, are included in the consolidated statements of income and of comprehensive income until the date the Company loses control.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Company’s accounting policies.
