ACCOUNTING AND OTHER DISCLOSURES
The Company believes that publication of FFO, which is calculated according to
EPRA best-practice recommendations, better reflects the operating results of
the Company, since the Company's financial statements are prepared in
conformity with IFRS. In addition, publication of FFO provides a better basis
for the comparison of the Company's operating results between different
reporting periods and strengthens the uniformity and the comparability of this
financial measure to that published by European property companies.
As clarified in the EPRA and NAREIT position papers, the FFO measures do not
represent cash flows from current operations according to accepted accounting
principles, nor do they reflect the cash held by a company or its ability to
distribute that cash, and they are not a substitute for the reported net income
(loss). Furthermore, it is also clarified that these measures are not part of
the data audited by the Company's independent auditors.

-- EPRA NAV per share as of March 31, 2012 was NIS 51.6 compared to NIS 41.1
per share as of March 31, 2011 and NIS 49.4 as of December 31, 2011
Dividend
-- The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of NIS
0.40 per share payable on July 3, 2012 to shareholders of record as of June
18, 2012. The quarterly cash dividend of NIS 0.40 per share represents an
annualized amount of NIS 1.60
ACCOUNTING AND OTHER DISCLOSURES
The Company believes that publication of FFO, which is calculated according to
EPRA best-practice recommendations, better reflects the operating results of
the Company, since the Company's financial statements are prepared in
conformity with IFRS. In addition, publication of FFO provides a better basis
for the comparison of the Company's operating results between different
reporting periods and strengthens the uniformity and the comparability of this
financial measure to that published by European property companies.
As clarified in the EPRA and NAREIT position papers, the FFO measures do not
represent cash flows from current operations according to accepted accounting
principles, nor do they reflect the cash held by a company or its ability to
distribute that cash, and they are not a substitute for the reported net income
(loss). Furthermore, it is also clarified that these measures are not part of
the data audited by the Company's independent auditors.
