- On May 31, 2012, Tel Aviv Lev Towers Ltd. (the "Residential company") and the Tel Aviv City Mall Ltd. (the "Purchasers") in which BSRE held to that date indirectly 50% together with Gindi Investments 1 Ltd and a corporation controlled by Moshe and Yigal Gindi, ("Gindi"), completed the purchase of lease rights for the period ended on August 31, 2099 for a part of the wholesale market complex in Tel Aviv.

The sellers may be entitled to an additional consideration that shall be derived from the sale price of the apartments in the project. As of the date of this report, the sellers are not entitled to additional consideration.
In order to pay the Balance of Consideration, the Purchasers received loans of NIS 730 million (NIS 487 million to Tel Aviv Lev Towers Ltd and NIS 243 million to Tel Aviv City Mall Ltd.) from a bank. The Loans were extended for 18 months where the principal shall be paid in one payment at the end of the period and the interest payments of Prime + 2% are payable quarterly. The loan may be repaid early. To secure the loans, BSRE recorded a charge in favor of the Bank on the rights in the land and BSRE committed to provide unlimited guarantee in the amount of 50% of the purchasers' debts in addition to other collaterals and commitments. On December 31, 2012, the bank's consent to provide an additional loan to Tel Aviv City Mall Ltd. was received, provided that certain conditions are met, at the original loan repayment date and at the loan principal amount (NIS 243 million) attributed to Tel Aviv City Mall Ltd.

On June 29, 2012, the parties completed the above allocation.

1. The Company operates in four segments: Supermarkets, Commercial and Fueling sites, Non Food retail and wholesale and Real Estate. Segmental information is included in this report below.
2. The data of the Non-food segment are presented net of the discontinued operation in the toy and leisure activity. The data of the discontinued operation are included in the statements of operations in the discontinued operation item. For discontinued operation results for the quarter and the year, see events in the reported period in the Non- food segment of this report.
3. Use of financial measures that are not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
EBITDA is a measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Non-GAAP) and is defined as income before financial income (expenses) net, other gains (losses) net, changes in fair value of investment property, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It is an accepted ratio in the retail industry. It is presented as an additional performance measure, since it enables comparisons of operating performances between periods and companies while neutralizing potential differences resulting from changes in capital structures, taxes, age of property and equipment and its related depreciation expenses. EBITDA, however, should not be related to as a single measure or as an alternative to operating income, another performance indicator and to cash flow information, which are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as indicators of profit or liquidity. EBITDA does not take the costs of servicing debt and other liabilities into account, including capital expenditures and therefore it does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available to the use of the company and in addition EBITDA should not be compared to other indicators with similar names reported by other companies because of differences in the calculation of these indicators. See the reconciliation between our net income and EBITDA which is presented in this press release.
4. In December 2012, BEE group resolved to realize the activity of the leisure and toy into the discontinued operating results. See material events in the reported period, in the Non Food segment.
