ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF US GAAP TO IFRS [Abstract] |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF US GAAP TO IFRS | NOTE 22 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION- RECONCILIATION OF US GAAP TO IFRS Since the initial listing of the Company on NASDAQ in the United States of America, The Company has followed accounting principles of the US GAAP, both for internal as well as external purposes, and since 2007 its main reporting was under US GAAP. Since the Company was an affiliate of Israel Corporation, Ltd., a public holding company traded in TASE, reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards rules (“IFRS”), during the years before and including 2014, and has become in January 2015 an affiliate of Kenon Holdings, Ltd., a public holding company traded in NYSE and TASE reporting under the IFRS, the Company is providing on a voluntary basis a reconciliation from U.S. GAAP to IFRS as detailed below (condensed balance sheet, statement of operations and additional information). IFRS differs in certain significant aspects from U.S. GAAP. The primary differences between US GAAP and IFRS related to the Company are the accounting for goodwill, financial instruments, pension plans and termination benefits. A. Goodwill Adjustment arising from Goodwill of a subsidiary acquired in 2008. The purchase consideration was paid in Tower's stocks. Under US GAAP the consideration was measured according to Tower's share price at the transaction announcement date. Under IFRS the consideration was measured according to Tower's share price at closing date. Accordingly, a lower purchase consideration was measured under IFRS than the purchase consideration measured under US GAAP. Consequently no purchase price was allocated to Goodwill under IFRS. B. Financial instruments Adjustments arising from allocation of proceeds from issuance of convertible debentures and warrants to liabilities and equity and the subsequent measurement of such liabilities. The adjustment stems primarily from a convertible debt security sold by Tower in 2010, with a conversion ratio that have been determined in the third quarter of 2012 based on Tower's share price as of such date. Under ASC 815 and ASC 470-20, the related conversion feature was measured in the third quarter of 2012 based on its intrinsic value and recorded to equity, with a corresponding discount on the debt instrument. Under IAS 39 such conversion feature was bifurcated from its host contract at the date of issuance and measured as a liability at fair value at each cut-off date until the date of determination of the related conversion ratio, in which date such conversion feature was classified to equity. C. Pension plans Adjustments arising from defined benefit pension arrangements. Under ASC 715 prior years' service cost, as well as actuarial gains and losses, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and amortized to the profit and loss statement over time. Under IAS 19, prior year service cost is recorded to the profit and lost statement in the period in which the underlying change was executed, while actuarial gains and losses, at the Company's election, are recorded directly to retained earnings with no impact on the profit and loss statement. D. Termination Benefits Adjustment arising from benefits to be granted to certain Company officials upon termination. Under IAS 19, such benefits are not reflected in the Company's financial statements until termination occurs. Under ASC 712 such benefits are recorded in earlier periods based on probability of occurrence. E. Balance sheet in accordance with IFRS
