A.
Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Israeli Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985 (the "Inflationary Adjustment Law")
 
 
Commencing January 1, 2008, the results of operations of Integrity Israel for tax purposes are measured on a nominal basis.

 
B.
Reduction in Israeli corporate tax rates
 
 
As part of the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for the Implementation of the Economic Plan for the years 2009 and 2010) - 2009 (the "Arrangements Law") (hereinafter - the "Economic Efficiency Law for 2009"), article 126 of the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) - 1961 was amended, whereby the corporate tax rate would be reduced so that in 2011 the corporate tax rate was 24% and in the years 2012 - 2016 the tax rate was supposed to be gradually reduced.
 
 
On December 6, 2011, the Law for the Change in the Tax Burden (Legislative Amendments) - 2011 was published.  As part of this law, among other things, commencing from 2012, the blueprint for the reduction in corporate tax rates set out in the Economic Efficiency Law for 2009 was cancelled and the corporate tax rate was increased to 25%.  Commencing in 2012, in addition, the tax rate on capital gains in real terms and the tax rate applicable to betterment in real terms were increased to 25%.
 
 
On July 30, 2013, the Israeli parliament approved the Law for the Change in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments to Achieve Budgetary Goals for 2013 and 2014) - 2013 (hereinafter - the "Law for the Change in National Priorities"), which, among other things increased the standard Israeli corporate income tax rate from 25% to 26.5% effective as of January 1, 2014.
