NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the financial statements for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
a. Basis of presentation of the consolidated financial statements:
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Furthermore, the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the provisions of the Israeli Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a cost basis, except for investment properties, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, that are presented at fair value and investments in joint ventures, which are presented using the equity method. The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated.
b. The operating cycle:
The operating cycle of the company is one year.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
c. Consolidated financial statements:
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of companies that are controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing whether an entity has control. The consolidation of the financial statements commences on the date on which control is obtained and ends when such control ceases.
The financial statements of the Company and of the subsidiaries are prepared as of the same dates and periods. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies by all companies in the Group. Significant intragroup balances and transactions and gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full in the consolidated financial statements.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Non-controlling interests are presented in equity separately from the equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company. Profit or loss and components of other comprehensive income are attributed to the Company and to non-controlling interests. Losses are attributed to non-controlling interests even if they result in a negative balance of non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position.
In respect of profit sharing contractual arrangements that establish different rates than the ownership interests in those companies that also consist of distribution waterfalls, the Company adopts the hypothetical liquidation at book value approach, i.e. the share of the Company and the non-controlling interest holders in the subsidiary's earnings is calculated assuming that the subsidiary had recognized or distributed the assets based on their book value, taking into consideration other distributions and investments made.
Upon disposal of a subsidiary while losing control, the Company:
- Derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary.
- Derecognizes the balance in the financial statements of the non-controlling interests.
- Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received.
- Recognizes the fair value of any remaining investment.
- Recognizes any difference created (surplus or deficit) as profit or loss.
d. Business combinations and goodwill:
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the fair value of the consideration transferred on the acquisition date with the addition of non-controlling interests in the acquiree. In each business combination, the Company chooses whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree based on their fair value on the acquisition date or at their proportionate share in the fair value of the acquiree's net identifiable assets.
Direct acquisition costs are carried to the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
In a business combination achieved in stages, equity interests in the acquiree that had been held by the acquirer prior to obtaining control are measured at the acquisition date fair value while recognizing a gain or loss resulting from the revaluation of the prior investment on the date of achieving control.
Goodwill, if any, is initially measured at cost which represents the excess of the acquisition consideration and the amount of non-controlling interests over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the resulting amount is negative, the acquirer recognizes the resulting gain on the acquisition date.
Consideration paid in transactions which are accounted for as an asset acquisition rather than business combination is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on relative fair value approach. Acquisition fees and expenses are capitalized into the cost basis of an asset acquisition. Additionally, during the time in which the Company is incurring costs necessary to bring these investments to their intended use, certain costs such as legal fees, real estate taxes and insurance and financing costs are also capitalized.
e. Investment in joint arrangements:
Joint arrangements are arrangements in which the Company has joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Joint ventures:
In joint ventures the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint venture is accounted for using the equity method.
f. Investments accounted for using the equity method:
The Company's investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, the investment in the joint venture is presented at cost with the addition of post-acquisition changes in the Company's share of net assets, including other comprehensive income of the associate or the joint venture. Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate or the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or in the joint venture.
Goodwill relating to the acquisition of an associate or a joint venture is presented as part of the investment in the associate or the joint venture, measured at cost and not systematically amortized. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment as part of the investment in the associate or in the joint venture as a whole.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The financial statements of the Company and of the joint venture are prepared as of the same dates and periods. The accounting policies applied in the financial statements of the associate or the joint venture are uniform and consistent with the policies applied in the financial statements of the Company.
The equity method is applied until the loss of joint control of the joint venture or its classification as an investment held for sale. The Company continues to apply the equity method even in cases where an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate. The Company applies the provisions of IFRS 5 to the investment or part of the investment in a joint venture that is classified as held for sale. Any portion of this investment that is not classified as held for sale continues to be accounted for using the equity method.
At the date of the loss of material influence or joint control, the Company measures any investment remaining in the joint venture at fair value and recognizes the difference between the consideration from disposal of the joint venture and the fair value of the remaining investment and the carrying amount of the investment realized at that date in profit or loss.
g. Functional currency, presentation currency and foreign currency:
1. Functional currency and presentation currency:
The functional and presentation currency of the financial statements is the US dollar.
The Company determines the functional currency of each Group entity, including companies accounted for using the equity method.
2. Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency:
Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded upon initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at each reporting date into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange rate differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or accounted for as hedging transactions in equity, are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

h. Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents are considered as highly liquid investments, including unrestricted short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of investment or with a maturity of more than three months, but which are redeemable on demand without penalty and which form part of the Company's cash management.
i. Short-term deposits:
Short-term bank deposits are deposits with an original maturity of more than three months from the date of investment and which do not meet the definition of cash equivalents. The deposits are presented according to their terms of deposit.
| |
j. | Allowance for doubtful accounts (the accounting policy in effect until the Company adopted IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2017): |
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined in respect of specific trade receivables whose collection, in the opinion of the Company's management, is doubtful. In respect of trade receivables for which a specific allowance has not been recorded, the Company also recognizes an allowance for those receivables that are collectively assessed for impairment based on their credit risk characteristics. Impaired receivables are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.
k. Revenue recognition:
The company adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 January 2018. Such initial application did not have a significant effect on the company's financial statements.
Revenues are recognized in profit or loss when the revenues can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. When the Company acts as a principal and is exposed to the risks associated with the transaction, revenues are presented on a gross basis. When the Company acts as an agent and is not exposed to the risks and rewards associated with the transaction, revenues are presented on a net basis.
Following are the specific revenue recognition criteria which must be met before revenue is recognized:

Real Estate:
The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant's rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
| |
• | whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| |
• | whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates; |
| |
• | whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term; |
| |
• | whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and |
| |
• | whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease. |
The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.
The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its tenant receivables related to base rents, including deferred rent, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, the Company will record a bad debt reserve for the tenant's receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Investment in Debt Instruments:
Interest income on the Company's investments in debt instruments are recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Direct loan origination or acquisition fees and costs, as well as acquisition premiums or discounts, are amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. The Company places investments measured at amortized cost on nonaccrual status when any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest. When an investment is placed on non-accrual status, the Company reserves for any unpaid accrued interest and generally does not recognize subsequent interest income until cash is received, or the investment returns to accrual status. The Company will resume the accrual of interest if it determines the collection of interest, according to the contractual terms of the investment, is probable.
The Company generally recognizes income on impaired loans on either a cash basis, where interest income is only recorded when received in cash, or on a cost-recovery basis, where all cash receipts are applied against the carrying value of the loan. The Company considers the collectability of the loan's principal balance in determining whether to recognize income on impaired loans on a cash basis or a cost-recovery basis.
Real Estate Equity Securities:
Dividend income from real estate equity securities included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized on an accrual basis based on eligible shares as of the ex-dividend date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company recognizes interest income on its cash and cash equivalents as it is earned and records such amounts as finance income.
Insurance proceeds for Property Damages:
The Company maintains an insurance policy that provides coverage for property damages and business interruption. Losses due to physical damages are recognized during the accounting period in which they occur, while the amount of monetary assets to be received from the insurance policy is recognized when receipt of insurance recoveries become receivable.

l. Financial instruments:
1. Financial assets:
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition at fair value plus transaction costs that can be directly attributed to the purchase of the financial asset, except in the case of a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss, in respect of which transaction costs are recognized directly to profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s following characteristics:
(a) The Group’s business model for managing financial assets, and;
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
1a) The company measures debt instrument at amortised cost if:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and; the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
In addition, on the date of initial recognition, a company may designate a debt instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces inconsistencies in measurement or recognition, for example if the related financial liabilities are also measured at fair value through profit or loss.

| |
1b) | The company measures debt instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income if: |
The company's business model is with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling, and; the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial instruments in this group are measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from adjustments to fair value, other than interest and exchange rate differentials, are recognized in other comprehensive income.
| |
1c) | The company measures debt instrument at fair value through profit or loss if: |
A financial asset that is a debt instrument and does not meet the criteria for measuring it at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial asset is measured at fair value when gains or losses from fair value adjustments are recognized in profit or loss.
| |
1d) | Equity instruments and other financial assets held for trading: |
Investments in equity instruments does not meet the above criteria and are therefore measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Other financial assets held for trading such as derivatives, including embedded derivatives that were separated from a host contract, will be measured at fair value through profit or loss unless they are designated as instruments for effective hedging.
In respect of equity instruments that are not held for trading, at the date of initial recognition, the Company made an unalterable choice, to present them in other comprehensive income, subsequent changes in fair value that would otherwise not been measured at fair value through profit or loss. These changes will not be carried to future profit or loss even when the investment is derecognized.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
2. Impairment of financial assets:
The Company examines at each reporting date the provision for loss in respect of financial debt instruments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company distinguishes between two situations of recognition of a provision for loss;
| |
2a) | Debt instruments where there has been no significant deterioration in the quality of their credit since the initial recognition or in cases where the credit risk is low - the provision for loss recognized for this debt instrument will take into account projected credit losses in the 12-month period following the reporting date; |
| |
2b) | Debt instruments with significant deterioration in their credit quality since their initial recognition and for which the credit risk is not low, the provision for a loss to be recognized will take into account anticipated credit losses - over the remaining life of the instrument. |
The Company implements the relief prescribed in the Standard, according to which it assumes that the credit risk of a debt instrument did not increase significantly from the date of initial recognition if it was determined at the reporting date that the instrument has a low credit risk, for example when the instrument has an external rating of "investment grade".
Impairment in respect of debt instruments measured at amortized cost will be carried to profit or loss against provision, while impairment in respect of debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income will be charged against a capital reserve and will not reduce the book value of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.
The Company has financial assets with short credit periods such as customers, for which it is entitled to implement the relief prescribed in the model, i.e., the Company will measure the provision for loss in an amount equal to expected credit losses throughout the life of the instrument. The Company chose to apply the relief regarding these financial assets.

3. Derecognition of financial assets:
The company derecognizes financial asset when and only when:
| |
3a) | The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or; |
| |
3b) | The Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards deriving from the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset or when some of the risks and rewards in the transfer of the financial asset remain with the Company, but it may be said that it transferred the control over the asset. |
| |
3c) | The Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows deriving from the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay these cash flows in full to a third party, without material delay. |
When the Company transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset but did not transfer and did not materially leave all the risks and rewards associated with the asset and did not transfer the control over the asset, a new asset is recognized according to the extent of the Company's continued involvement in the asset.
Continuing involvement by way of a guarantee to the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the asset's original balance in the financial statements and the maximum amount of consideration that the company may be required to pay back (the guarantee amount).
When the Company continues to recognize the asset in accordance with its continuing involvement in the asset, the Company also recognizes a related liability. The related liability is measured in such a way that the net carrying amount of the transferred asset and related liability is:
| |
a) | The amortized cost of the rights and obligations left by the company if the transferred asset is measured at amortized cost; or |
| |
b) | Equivalent to the fair value of the rights and obligations remaining in the Company, when measured on a separate basis, if the transferred asset is measured at fair value. |

4. Financial liabilities:
4a) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
At initial recognition, the company measures financial liabilities at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, the Company measures all financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method except:
| |
a) | Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss such as derivatives; |
| |
b) | Financial liabilities incurred when the transfer of a financial asset is not eligible for derecognition or where the continuing involvement approach applies; |
| |
c) | Financial guarantee contracts; |
| |
d) | Obligations to grant a loan at an interest rate lower than the market interest rate; |
| |
e) | Contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies. |
4b) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities that are not measured at amortized cost at fair value, with transaction costs recognized in profit or loss.
After initial recognition, changes in fair value are charged to profit or loss.
5. Derecognition of financial liabilities:
The Company derecognises a financial liability when and only when, it is extinguished - i.e. when the obligation defined in the contract is discharged or canceled or expires.
A financial liability is extinguished when the debtor repays the liability by paying cash, other financial assets, goods or services, or is legally released from the liability.
In the event of a change in the terms of an existing financial liability, the Company examines whether the terms of the liability are materially different from the existing conditions.
When a material change is made in the terms of an existing financial liability, the change is treated as derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The difference between the balance of these two liabilities in the financial statements is recognised at profit or loss.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
If the change is immaterial, the Company updates the amount of the liability, i.e., capitalizing the new cash flows at the original effective interest rate, with the differences recognized in profit or loss.
When examining whether this is a material change in the terms of an existing liability, the Company takes into consideration qualitative and quantitative considerations.
6. Hedge accounting:
The Company enters into contracts with derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts for foreign currency transactions and interest rate swap (IRS) to hedge its risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives not used for hedging purposes are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
m. Deferred Financing Costs:
Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, loan fees, legal fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing and are presented on the statement of financial position as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are generally expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity unless specific rules are met that would allow for the carryover of such costs to the refinanced debt. Deferred financing costs incurred before an associated debt liability is recognized are included in prepaid and other assets on the statement of financial position. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.
n. Taxes on income:
According to the relevant tax laws in the BVI and in the U.S.A, substantially all of the companies in the Group are considered "pass through" entities. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal and state income taxes or other income tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements as taxable income and losses are reported in the tax return of the shareholders.
In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company conducts certain business activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Any TRSs the Company forms will incur taxes or accrue tax benefits consistent with a “C” corporation; however, such amount was not material as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

o. Leases:
The criteria for classifying leases as finance or operating leases depend on the substance of the agreements and are made at the inception of the lease in accordance with the following principles as set out in IAS 17.
The Company as lessor:
Operating leases:
Lease agreements are classified as an operating lease if they do not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
p. Investment property:
An investment property is property (land or a building or both) held by the owner (lessor under an operating lease) or by the lessee under a finance lease to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for administrative purposes or for sale in the ordinary course of business.
Investment property is derecognized on disposal or when the investment property ceases to be used and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss in the period of the disposal.
Investment property is measured initially at cost, including costs directly attributable to the acquisition. After initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss when they arise. Investment property is not systematically amortized.
In determining the fair value of investment property, the Company relies on valuations performed by external independent valuation specialists who are experts in real estate valuations and who have the necessary knowledge and experience.

q. Fair value measurement:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement:
|
| | |
Level 1 | - | quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 | - | inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable directly or indirectly. |
Level 3 | - | inputs that are not based on observable market data (valuation techniques which use inputs that are not based on observable market data). |
r. Provisions:
A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

NOTE 3: | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
In the process of applying the significant accounting policies, the Company has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
Estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the application of the accounting policies and on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in accounting estimates are reported in the period of the change in estimate.
The key assumptions made in the financial statements concerning uncertainties at the reporting date and the critical estimates computed by the Company that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Investment property that can be reliably measured is presented at fair value at the reporting date. Changes in its fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined generally by external independent valuation specialists using valuation techniques and assumptions as to estimates of projected future cash flows from the property and estimate of the suitable discount rate for these cash flows. When possible, fair value is determined based on recent real estate transactions with similar characteristics and location of the valued property.
In determining the fair value of investment property, valuation specialists and the Company's management are required to use certain assumptions in order to estimate the future cash flows from the properties regarding the required yield rates on the Company's properties, the future rental rates, occupancy rates, lease renewals, the probability of leasing vacant spaces, property operating expenses, the financial strength of tenants and the implications of any investments for future development. Changes in the assumptions that are used to measure investment property may lead to a change in fair value.

- Legal claims:
In estimating the likelihood of outcome of legal claims filed against the Company and its investees, the companies rely on the opinion of their legal counsel. These estimates are based on the legal counsel's best professional judgment, taking into account the stage of proceedings and legal precedents in respect of the different issues. Since the outcome of the claims will be determined in courts, the results could differ from these estimates.
- Determining the fair value of an unquoted financial asset:
The fair value of unquoted financial assets in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is determined using valuation techniques, generally using future cash flows discounted at current rates applicable for items with similar terms and risk characteristics. Changes in estimated future cash flows and estimated discount rates, after consideration of risks such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility, are liable to affect the fair value of these assets.

NOTE 4: | DISCLOSURE OF NEW STANDARDS IN THE PERIOD PRIOR TO THEIR ADOPTION |
a. IFRS 16, "Leases":
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, "Leases" ("the new Standard"). According to the new Standard, a lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
According to the new Standard:
| |
• | Lessees are required to recognize an asset and a corresponding liability in the statement of financial position in respect of all leases (except in certain cases) similar to the accounting treatment of finance leases according to the existing IAS 17, "Leases". |
| |
• | Lessees are required to initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset. Lessees will also recognize interest and depreciation expenses separately. |
| |
• | Variable lease payments that are not dependent on changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") or interest rates, but are based on performance or use (such as a percentage of revenues) are recognized as an expense by the lessees as incurred and recognized as income by the lessors as earned. |
| |
• | In the event of change in variable lease payments that are CPI-linked, lessees are required to remeasure the lease liability and the effect of the remeasurement is an adjustment to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. |
| |
• | The new Standard includes two exceptions according to which lessees are permitted to elect to apply a method similar to the current accounting treatment for operating leases. These exceptions are leases for which the underlying asset is of low value and leases with a term of up to one year. |
| |
• | The accounting treatment by lessors remains substantially unchanged, namely classification of a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease. |
The new Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted provided that IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", is applied concurrently.
For leases existing at the date of transition, the new Standard permits lessees to use either a full retrospective approach, or a modified retrospective approach, with certain transition relief whereby restatement of comparative data is not required.
The Company does not expect the new Standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

b. Annual Improvements 2015-2017 Cycle
In December 2017 the IASB issued the following amendments as part of the Annual Improvements 2015-2017 Cycle. The following are the main amendments:
|
| | |
Relevant standards | | Main amendments |
IFRS 3 | | The amendment clarifies that when a joint venture partner obtains control of the joint operation and the joint operation constitutes a business (as defined in IFRS 3), it must measure the existing rights in the joint operation at fair value. |
IFRS 11 | | The amendment clarifies that a party to a joint activity that first achieves joint control of the activity will not revalue the previous rights that it held in the joint activity. |
IAS 23 | | The amendment clarifies that credit that was taken directly to the construction of a qualifying asset will be classified for capitalization of borrowing costs to other eligible assets as general credit of the Company, where the qualifying asset is taken for credit, ready for use or sale, and the credit has not yet been repaid. |
The amendments will be implemented starting from the annual periods commencing on January 1, 2019. Early adoption of each of the amendments separately is possible, with appropriate disclosure. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Operating Leases:
Certain of the Company's real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of December 31, 2018, the leases, excluding options to extend and apartment leases, which have terms that are generally one year or less, had remaining terms of up to 13.4 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.9 years. Some of the leases have options to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts.
Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash and assumed in real estate acquisitions or foreclosures related to tenant leases are included in rental security deposits in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position and totaled $3.7 million and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $4.7 million, $2.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, net of lease incentive amortization. The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the future minimum rental income from the Company's properties, excluding apartment leases, under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2018, the Company's commercial real estate properties were leased to approximately 250 tenants over a diverse range of industries and geographic areas. The Company's highest tenant industry concentrations (greater than 10% of annualized base rent) were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | |
Industry | | Number of Tenants | | Annualized Base Rent (1) (in thousands) | | Percentage of Annualized Base Rent |
Health Care and Social Services | | 16 | | $ | 6,716 |

Insurance | | 21 | | 5,997 |
| | 10.8 | % |
| | | | $ | 12,713 |
| | 22.9 | % |
(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of December 31, 2018, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term.
No other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time.
Geographic Concentration Risk:
As of December 31, 2018, the Company's investment properties in Texas, California and Nevada represented 16.5%, 13.5% and 12.8% of the Company's total assets, respectively. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company's portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Texas, California and Nevada real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company's operating results and its ability to repay the bonds.

The Company purchased 12,979,852 common units of the SREIT for $6.5 million in connection with this offering, maintaining its 7% ownership interest.
The Company's investments in real estate equity securities are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position as the Company intends to hold the securities for the purpose of collecting dividend income and for longer term price appreciation. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value based on quoted market prices for the security. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in finance (loss) income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $6.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of dividend income from real estate equity securities, included in finance (loss) income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
NIP JOINT VENTURE
On May 18, 2012, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a joint venture (the "NIP Joint Venture") with OCM NIP JV Holdings, L.P. and HC KBS NIP JV, LLC ("HC-KBS"). As of December 31, 2018, the NIP Joint Venture owned two industrial properties and a master lease with respect to another industrial property encompassing 1.4 million square feet.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2.5 million related to its investment in debt instruments as the Company does not believe it’s probable that the it will collect 100% of the contractual cash flows due under the original terms as the issuer is experiencing deteriorating operating performance. The amount of the impairment was measured by comparing the amortized cost of the real estate debt security to the present value of the expected cash flows based on a probability-weighted measure over a range of potential outcomes discounted at a 12% discount rate.

NOTE 9: | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS |
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. The Company does not apply hedge accounting for its derivative instruments.
The Company enters into foreign currency options and foreign currency collars to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements on its bonds payable outstanding denominated in Israeli new Shekels. The foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy and a sold put option to sell Israeli new Shekels. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. The foreign currency option consists of a call option to buy Israeli new Shekels.

(1) On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into a foreign currency collar with an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of 776.2 million which expires on August 23, 2019. The foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy Israeli new Shekels at 3.4860 and a sold put option to sell the Israeli new Shekels at 3.6185. The foreign currency collar is intended to permit the Company to exchange, on the settlement date of the collar, 776.2 million Israeli new Shekels for an amount ranging from $214.5 million to $222.7 million.
The Company enters into interest rate caps to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The values of interest rate caps are primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of interest rate caps. As the remaining life of an interest rate cap decreases, the value of the instrument will generally decrease towards zero.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had entered into two interest rate caps, which were not designated as hedging instruments. The following table summarizes the notional amounts and other information related to the Company’s derivative instruments as of December 31, 2018.

NOTE 10: | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES |
The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
| |
a. | Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items. |
| |
b. | Debt investments: The Company's debt investments are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position at its amortized cost net of allowance for impairment. The fair values of debt investments are estimated using an internal valuation model that considers the expected cash flows for the loans, underlying collateral values (for collateral dependent loans) and estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs. |
| |
c. | Notes and bonds payable: The fair values of the Company's notes and bonds payable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management's estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs. The Company’s bonds issued in Israel are publicly traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The Company used the quoted price as of December 31, 2018 for the fair value of its bonds issued in Israel. The Company classifies this input as a Level 1 input. |
| |
d. | Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. The valuation of these instruments is determined using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs. |

NOTE 10: | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (Cont.) |
| |
e. | Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss: The Company's Whitestone REIT and Franklin Street Properties Corp. real estate equity securities are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. The fair value of Whitestone REIT and Franklin Street Properties Corp. real estate equity securities were based on quoted prices in an active market on a major stock exchange. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 1 inputs. As of December 31, 2017, the Company owned 43,999,500 shares of common units of Keppel-KBS US REIT. The fair value measurement of these shares was based on a quoted price in an active market, adjusted for the lack of marketability during the Unit Lockout Periods. The Company utilized inputs, all of which were deemed to be significant, including the quoted stock price, risk-free rate and expected volatility, in determining the value of the shares and the Company notes that the most significant input in its valuation model is the quoted price in an active market. However, as the valuation of the stock is adjusted for the lack of marketability using market-corroborated inputs, the Company categorizes the measurement of such securities as Level 2 inputs. On each of May 8, 2018 and November 8, 2018, 21,999,750 shares of common units of Keppel-KBS US REIT were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 inputs as a result of the Unit Lockout Periods expiring. The fair value of the Company’s investment in the NIP Joint Venture is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on future cash flows of the NIP Joint Venture. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs. |
The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, which carrying amounts do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company's estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

Investment property is stated at fair value which has been determined based on valuations performed by independent external valuation experts who hold recognized and relevant professional qualifications and which have experience in the location and category of the property being valued. The fair value was determined with reference to recent real estate transactions for similar properties in the same location as the property owned by the Company and based on the expected future cash flows from the property, if applicable. In assessing cash flows, risk is taken into account by using an investment yield that reflects the property's underlying risks supported by the standard yield in the real estate market and by including adjustments for the specific characteristics of the property and the level of future income therefrom. Land held for capital appreciation and certain investment properties under construction (those for which development activities are underway but construction have not commenced) are generally valued based on comparable sales transactions.
The fair value measurement is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Notes and Bond Payable Sensitivity Analysis:
As of December 31, 2018, the Company was exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $373.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had entered into one interest rate cap with a notional amount of $46.9 million that effectively limits one-month LIBOR at 3.0% effective February 21, 2017 through February 13, 2020 and one interest rate cap with a notional amount of $77.5 million that effectively limits one-month LIBOR at 3.5% effective April 2, 2018 through March 5, 2021. Based on interest rates as of December 31, 2018, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending December 31, 2019, interest expense on the Company’s variable rate debt would increase by $3.5 million or decrease by $3.7 million, respectively.

Foreign Currency Analysis:
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had entered into one foreign currency collar to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collar expired in February 2019 and had an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of 776.2 million. The foreign currency collar consisted of a purchased call option to buy Israeli new Shekels at 3.5445 and a sold put option to sell the Israeli new Shekels at 3.6592. The foreign currency collar is intended to permit the Company to exchange, on the settlement date of the collar, 776.2 million Israeli new Shekels for an amount ranging from $212.1 million to $219.0 million. In February 2019, the collar expired without an exchange of cash.
On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into a foreign currency collar with an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of 776.2 million which expires on August 23, 2019. The foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy Israeli new Shekels at 3.4860 and a sold put option to sell the Israeli new Shekels at 3.6185. The foreign currency collar is intended to permit us to exchange, on the settlement date of the collar, 776.2 million Israeli new Shekels for an amount ranging from $214.5 million to $222.7 million.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company held 214.7 million Israeli new Shekels ($57.4 million) and 21.8 million Israeli new Shekels ($5.8 million) in cash and restricted cash, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, the Company had bonds outstanding and the related interest payable in the amounts of 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels ($259.5 million) and 13.7 million Israeli new Shekels ($3.7 million), respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the possibility that our financial results could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Based solely on the remeasurement for the year ended December 31, 2018, if foreign currency exchange rates were to increase or decrease by 10%, the Company’s net income would increase or decrease by approximately $18.2 million and $22.2 million, respectively, for the same period. The foreign currency transaction income or loss as a result of the change in foreign currency exchange rates does not take into account any gains or losses on our foreign currency collar as a result of such change, which would reduce our foreign currency exposure.
