GENERAL	'
	NOTE 1:	GENERAL
		a.	General:
	Caesarstone Sdot-Yam Ltd., incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, was founded in 1987. The company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Caesarstone") manufacture high quality engineered quartz surfaces sold under the Company's premium Caesarstone brand. The Company's products consist of engineered quartz slabs that are currently sold in over 50 countries through a combination of direct sales in certain markets and indirectly through a network of independent distributors in other markets. The Company's products are primarily used as kitchen countertops in the renovation and remodeling end markets. Other applications include vanity tops, wall panels, back splashes, floor tiles, stairs and other interior surfaces that are used in a variety of residential and non-residential applications.
	As of December 2013, the Company has subsidiaries in Australia, Singapore, Canada and the United States (see Note 1(b)-1(d)) which are engaged in the marketing and selling of the Company's products in different geographic areas.
		b.	Acquisition of shares of U.S. Quartz Products, Inc.:
	Acquisition of 25% equity interest
	On January 29, 2007, Caesarstone and U.S. Quartz Products, Inc. ("U.S. Quartz"), the Company's exclusive distributor in the United States, signed a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Caesarstone purchased shares of U.S. Quartz for an aggregate purchase price of $9,900. The shares purchased by the Company represented a 25% equity interest in U.S. Quartz.
	The Company accounted for the equity investment in accordance with ASC 323 (originally issued as APB 18) "Investments-equity method and joint ventures".
	Acquisition of 75% equity interest
	On May 18, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of 75% of the shares of U.S. Quartz, representing all of the remaining shares of that entity, which was subsequently renamed Caesarstone USA, Inc. ("Caesarstone USA"). The acquisition enabled the Company to obtain a higher degree of control over the Company's sales in the United States. The total consideration for the acquisition was up to $26,500. Pursuant to the agreement between the parties, $20,000 was paid by the Company at the closing. An additional $6,500, which was conditioned on the closing of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"), was paid during 2012 by the Company. In addition, U.S. Quartz repaid shareholders loans to its former shareholders in the amount of $5,541.
	As a result of the acquisition, the Company remeasured the fair value of its previously-held equity investment in U.S. Quartz (with a carrying amount of $5,481) as of the acquisition date based on a report prepared by an independent third-party valuation firm that the Company engaged, with such amount totaling $6,807. Such remeasurement, including the reclassification of $1,352 previously recorded in other comprehensive income (foreign currency translation adjustments), resulted in an insignificant loss in the amount of $26 that was recorded in 2011 within equity in losses of affiliate, net. The fair value was measured by the third-party appraiser using the "income approach" based on the discounted cash flow method.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired at the acquisition date:
			Fair			Expected useful
			value			life (years)
	Current assets		$	22,452
	Deferred taxes			2,604
	Property and equipment			1,794
	Long-term liabilities			185
	Intangible assets:
	Distribution relationships(1)			739		7.6
	Customer relationships(2)			2,352		7.6
	Distribution agreement(3)			14,376		7.6
	Backlog-customer relationships(4)			146		0.08
	Backlog-distribution relationships(5)			84		0.08
	Goodwill(6)			18,460		indefinite
	Total assets acquired			63,192
	Current liabilities			18,510
	Long-term liabilities			6,291
	Deferred taxes			5,374
	Total liabilities assumed			30,175
	Net assets acquired			33,017
	Total purchase price		$	33,017
		-1	Distribution relationships-the fair value of the distribution relationships was measured using the Multi Period Excess Earnings Method approach (the "MPEEM approach"), which is a form of discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the distribution relationships is being amortized according to the revenue projections.
		-2	Customer relationships-the customer relationships asset fair value was estimated using the MPEEM approach. The fair value of the customer relationships is being amortized according to the revenue projections.
		-3	Distribution agreement-the fair value of the Distribution Agreement (the reacquired right under ASC 805) was measured using the MPEEM approach. The fair value of the distribution relationships is being amortized over 7.6 years.
		-4	Backlog-customer relationships-the fair value of the backlog attributed to end-customers was measured using the MPEEM approach. The fair value of the backlog was fully amortized over four weeks (0.08 years).
		-5	Backlog-distribution relationships-the fair value of the backlog attributed to distributor relationships was measured using the MPEEM approach. The fair value of the backlog was fully amortized over four weeks (0.08 years).
		-6	Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is related to the strength of the businesses acquired in the quartz surfaces market within the United States. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually.
	The amounts of revenues and earnings of U.S. Quartz in the Company's consolidated income statement from the acquisition date to the period ended December 31, 2011 are as follows:
			Period ended
			December 31,
			2011
	Revenues		$	46,843
	Net income		$	(511	)
	Unaudited pro forma consolidated revenues and earnings:
	The following table sets forth the unaudited consolidated pro forma revenues and earnings for the period ended December 31, 2011, assuming that the acquisition of the remaining 75% equity interest in U.S. Quartz occurred on January 1, 2010. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated on that date, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

	Basic and diluted net earnings per share		$	0.91
		c.	Acquisition of the business of Prema Asia Marketing PTE Ltd. ("Prema"):
	The Company entered into an agreement on October 1, 2011 pursuant to which it acquired the operations for the distribution of Caesarstone's products in Singapore from the Company's former distributor in Singapore. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid approximately $500 upon closing, $300 based on a formula that includes the number of slabs sold in Singapore during 2011 out which $150 was paid in 2012 and additional $150 will be paid by September 30, 2014, in addition the company was obligated to make an additional payment of up to $250 calculated based on a formula that includes the number of slabs sold in Singapore during 2012 (subject to the former distributor's owner remaining CSSEA's manager until October 1, 2014), however the threshold for this obligation was not met. In addition, the Company acquired inventory and fixed assets from the former distributor in Singapore for $76. The total consideration was approximately $800 (approximately $700 was paid through December 31, 2013).
	The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired on October 1, 2011 (the acquisition date):
			Fair			Expected useful
			value			life (years)
	Inventory		$	50
	Fixed assets			26
	Customer relationships (1)			133		5
	Distribution agreement (2)			254		2

	Goodwill			303		indefinite
Total assets acquired			828
Total liabilities assumed			-
Net assets acquired			828
Total purchase price		$	828
	-1	The fair value of the customer relationships was measured using the MPEEM approach. The fair value of the customer relationships is being amortized according to the revenue projections.
	(2)	The fair value of the distribution agreement was measured using the MPEEM approach. The fair value of the distribution agreement is being amortized according to the remaining contractual term of the original distribution agreement.
	-3	The fair value of the non-competition agreement was measured using the incremental cash flow approach.
The Company did not disclose pro forma revenues and earnings in accordance with ASC 805-10-50 or revenue and earnings from the acquisition date through December 31, 2011 as they are immaterial.
	d.	Purchase of White-Wood Distributors Ltd.'s business related to distribution of the Company's products in Western Canada and incorporation of Caesarstone Canada:
Caesarstone Canada Inc., ("Caesarstone Canada") was incorporated under the federal laws of Canada in 2010. In October 2010, Caesarstone Canada began to distribute its products in Eastern Canada and in May 2011, in Western Canada.
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, entered into in January 2011 with the Company's former distributor in Western Canada, since May 1, 2011, Caesarstone Canada has been the exclusive distributor of the Company's products throughout Canada. Pursuant to this agreement, Caesarstone Canada purchased certain intangible assets and goodwill from the former distributor, and its marketable inventory of Caesarstone products as of April 30, 2011 for total consideration of approximately 2 million Canadian dollars.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired on May 1, 2011 (the acquisition date):
		Fair			Expected useful
		value			life (years)
Inventory		$	544
Customer relationships(1)			807		4.7
Goodwill(2)			754		indefinite
Total assets acquired			2,105
Total liabilities assumed			-
Net assets acquired			2,105
Total purchase price			2,105
	-1	The fair value of the customer relationships was measured using the MPEEM approach. The fair value of the customer relationships is being amortized according to the revenue projections.
	-2	Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually.
The results of White-Wood Distributors Ltd.'s business were consolidated in the Company's financial statements commencing on the date of acquisition. Revenues and earnings from the acquisition date through December 31, 2011 were immaterial to the consolidated financial information of the Company. The Company did not disclose pro forma revenues and earnings in accordance with ASC 805-10-50 as they are immaterial.
	e.	Major suppliers:
In 2013, one supplier in Turkey, Mikroman Madencilik San ve TIC.LTD.STI ("Mikroman"), supplied approximately 48% of the Company's quartzite on a purchase order basis. If Mikroman ceases supplying the Company with quartzite or if the Company's supply of quartz generally from Turkey is adversely impacted, the Company's other suppliers may be unable to meet the Company's quartz requirements. In that case, the Company would need to locate and qualify alternate suppliers, which could take time, increase costs and require adjustments to the appearance of the Company's products. As a result, the Company may experience a delay in manufacturing, which could materially and adversely impact the Company's results of operations.
The Company also depends on Breton S.p.A for its production line equipment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	NOTE 2:	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
		a.	Use of estimates:
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they were made.
		b.	Financial statements in U.S. dollars:
	The Company's revenues are generated in U.S. dollars, New Israeli Shekels (NIS), Australian dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. In addition, most of the Company's costs are incurred in U.S. dollars, NIS, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros and Singapore dollars.
	Effective July 1, 2012, the Company changed its functional currency to the U.S. dollar from the NIS.
	In determining the appropriate functional currency that should be used, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 830-10-55-5, which states that the following economic factors, and possibly others, should be considered both individually and collectively when determining the functional currency:
	Sales market indicators - With the recent acquisition of the remaining shares of Caesarstone USA (see note 1b), the Company's management anticipated that the USD-denominated portion of the Company's sales would continue to grow in the future due to the significant growth opportunities in the U.S. market.
	Financing indicators - The initial public offering of the Company's shares and listing in the United States, which has given the Company more access to the U.S. market, and therefore contributed to an increase in cash flows of U.S. dollars. The Company's management expects that the Company's future financing and capital raising will be primarily in USD and in the U.S capital markets.
	Cash flow indicators - The Company's cash inflows and outflows are affected by the sales, expenses and financing indicators that were analyzed above.
	Budget - At the beginning of 2012,  the Company's management changed the currency of its budget from NIS to USD. The change was made as a result of the increasing USD exposure through its revenue and expenses, the expected IPO which the Company anticipated would increase the Company's USD cash flow and management plans to expand their operations in the U.S market by establishing a significant manufacturing facility in the U.S, which would increase the Company's sales denominated in USD.
	Based on the above, the Company's management believes that its primary economic environment has changed from NIS to the U.S. dollar.  This has resulted in significant changes in economic facts and circumstances that indicate that the functional currency has changed from the NIS to the U.S. dollar.  The Company accounted for the change in functional currency prospectively as it is the result of a change in facts.
	As of July 1, 2012, all the Company's assets and liabilities were translated using the current rate method, using the U.S. dollar exchange rate as of June 30, 2012, and equity was translated using the historical exchange rate at the relevant transaction date. Since the Company's reporting currency has not changed (it was the U.S. dollar also prior to June 30, 2012, in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X, Rule 3-20), the Company previously translated its financial statements (from the former functional currency NIS to the reporting currency U.S. dollars) using the same current rate method, therefore, no translation differences have resulted from the change in functional currency.
	The functional currency of each of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local currency in which it operates.
	ASC 830 "Foreign Currency Matters" sets the standards for translating foreign currency financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries. The first step in the translation process is to identify the functional currency for each entity included in the financial statements. The accounts of each entity are then measured in its functional currency. All transaction gains and losses from the measurement of monetary balance sheet items, which are not related to subsidiaries translation, are reflected in the statement of income as finance income or expenses, as appropriate.
	After the measurement process is complete, the financial statements are translated into the parent functional currency (U.S. dollar) using the current rate method. Translation adjustments relating to conversion to functional currencies within group entities are reported as a component of shareholders' equity. Equity accounts are translated using historical exchange rates. All other balance sheet accounts are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statement of income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year.
		c.	Principles of consolidation:
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances, including profit from intercompany sales not yet realized outside of the Company, have been eliminated upon consolidation.
		d.	Cash equivalents:
	Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired.
		e.	Short-term bank deposits:
	Short-term bank deposits are deposits with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year. The short-term bank deposits are presented at their cost, which approximates their fair value.
		f.	Derivatives:
	Derivatives not designated as hedging accounting instruments consist primarily of forward and options contracts that the Company uses to limit its exposure to foreign currencies. The Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and measures those instruments at fair value. Since the derivative instruments that the Company holds do not meet the definition of hedging instruments under ASC 815, the Company recognizes immediately changes in the fair values in its consolidated statement of income in finance expenses, net. The notional principal amount of foreign exchange contracts was $65,098 and $90,535 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Foreign exchange forward and options contracts	Other accounts receivable and prepaid expenses		$	2,353		$	728
	Foreign exchange forward and options contracts	Accrued expenses		$	64		$	-
		and other liabilities
		g.	Inventories:
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to historical and projected sales volumes, current and historical selling prices and contractual obligations to maintain certain levels of parts. Based on these evaluations, inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, discontinued products, excess inventories, market prices lower than cost and adjusted revenue forecasts.
	Cost is determined as follows:
	Raw materials, parts and supplies: using the "standard cost" method.
	Work-in-progress and finished products: on the basis of direct manufacturing costs with the addition of allocable indirect costs, representing allocable operating overhead expenses and manufacturing costs.
	The following table provides the details of the change in the Company's provision for inventory:
			December 31,
			2013			2012
	Inventory provision, beginning of year		$	5,807		$	4,869
	Increase in inventory provision			986			939
	Write off			(525	)		(152	)
	Foreign currency translation adjustments			-			151
	Inventory provision, end of year		$	6,268		$	5,807
		h.	Property, plant and equipment:
		1	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and investment grants.
		2	Materials, payroll and other costs that are direct incremental costs necessary to bring an asset to the condition of its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment.
		3	Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets at the following annual rates:
		%
	Machinery and manufacturing equipment	Apr-33
	Office equipment and furniture	Jul-33
	Motor vehicles	30-Oct
	Buildings	5-Apr
	Leasehold improvements are depreciated by the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.
	The Company has accounted for its assets that are under a capital lease arrangement in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 840 "Leases" ("ASC 840"). Accordingly, assets under a capital lease are stated as assets of the Company on the basis of ordinary purchase prices (without the financing component), and depreciated according to the shorter of the lease term and the usual depreciation rates applicable to such assets.
	Lease payments payable in forthcoming years, net of the interest component included in them, are included in liabilities. The interest in respect of such amounts is accrued on a current basis and is charged to earnings.
		i.	Impairment of long-lived assets:
	The Company's long-lived assets, tangible and intangible assets (other than goodwill), are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360") whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses were identified during any period presented.
		j.	Goodwill:
	Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition. Under Accounting Standard Codification 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350") goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise).
	ASC 350 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures impairment.
	In the first phase of impairment testing, goodwill attributable to the reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second phase is then performed. The second phase of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently, if impairment indicators are present. The Company operates in one operating segment. Each of the Company's subsidiaries could be considered to be reporting units, however the Company concluded that all of the Company's components should be aggregated and deemed as a single reporting unit for the purpose of performing the goodwill impairment test in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-35, since they have similar economic characteristics.
Goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing its fair value with its carrying value. As required by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", the Company applies assumptions that market place participants would consider in determining the fair value of reporting unit. No impairment of goodwill was identified during any period presented.
	k.	Warranty:
The Company generally provides a standard warranty of between three and 10 years for its products, depending on the type of product and the country in which the Company does business. The Company records a provision for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty at the time of sale. Factors that affect the Company's warranty reserve include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair. The following table provides the details of the change in the Company's warranty accrual for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:
		December 31,
		2013			2012
Warranty provision, beginning of year		$	2,223		$	1,978
Charged to costs and expenses relating to new sales			1,338			1,126
Costs of product warranty claims			(1,159	)		(937	)
Foreign currency translation adjustments			222			56
Warranty provision, end of year		$	2,624		$	2,223
	l.	Revenue recognition:
The Company derives its revenues from sales of quartz surfaces mostly through a combination of direct sales in certain markets and indirectly through a network of distributors in other markets.
Revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition") formerly: SAB 104) when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is probable and no further obligations exist. In general, the Company does not grant right of returns, except to customers in Australia, for a limited period. The Company does not maintain a provision for product returns, as historical returns are immaterial and the Company does not anticipate any material returns in the future.
All of the Company's products sold through agreements with exclusive distributors are non-exchangeable, non-refundable, non-returnable and without any rights of price protection or stock rotation. Accordingly, the Company considers all the distributors to be end-consumers.
	m.	Research and development costs:
Research and development costs, net of grants received, are charged to the statement of income as incurred.
	n.	Income taxes:
The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" (formerly: SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"). This statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting.
The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly: FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109"). ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its tax expenses.
	o.	Advertising expenses:
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $16,589, $14,931 and $13,490, respectively.
	p.	Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and trade receivables.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in U.S. dollars,  mainly with major banks in Israel.
The Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to customers located mainly in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and to date has not experienced any substantial losses. In certain circumstances, the Company requires letters of credit or prepayments. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. Provisions for doubtful accounts were recorded in general and administrative expenses.
The following table provides the detail of the change in the Company's provision for doubtful debts:
		December 31,
		2013			2012
Balance at the beginning of the year		$	1,127		$	739
Charges to expenses			1,263			601
Write off			(389	)		(227	)
Foreign currency translation adjustments			(103	)		14
Balance at end of the year		$	1,898		$	1,127
The Company from time to time enters into forward and option contracts (collectively, "derivative instruments") intended to protect against changes in foreign currencies. The derivative instruments were not qualified for hedge accounting under Accounting Standard Codification 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in the fair value carried to the statements of income and included in finance expenses, net. All derivatives have major banks in Israel as counterparties.
	q.	Severance pay:
The Company's liability for severance pay, with respect to its Israeli employees, is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law and employee agreements based on the most recent salary of the employees. The Company's liability for all of its Israeli employees is provided for by monthly deposits with insurance policies and by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset on the Company's balance sheet.
The deposited funds include profits or losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligations pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements.
Some agreements with employees specifically state, in accordance with section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963, that the Company's contributions for severance pay shall be instead of severance compensation and that upon release of the policy to the employee, no additional calculations shall be conducted between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments shall be made by the Company to the employee.
Further, since the Company has signed agreements with the section 14 provision with certain employees, the related obligation and amounts deposited on behalf of such obligation are not stated on the balance sheet, as they are legally released from obligation to employees once the deposit amounts have been paid.
Severance expense, net, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $(97), $(67) and $(75), respectively.
	r.	Fair value of financial instruments:
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
	Level 1-	Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
	Level 2-	Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
	Level 3-	Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and the investments are categorized as Level 3.
Foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.
The following table presents the Company's assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and 2012:
		31-Dec-13
		Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total
Derivatives:
Foreign currencies derivatives		$	-		$	2,353		$	-		$	2,353
Foreign currencies derivatives		$	-		$	(64	)	$	-		$	(64	)

Derivatives:
Foreign currencies derivatives		$	-		$	728		$	-		$	728
Total		$	-		$	728		$	-		$	728
The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables and trade payables, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments. The carrying amount of long-term loans approximates their fair value as well.
	s.	Basic and diluted net income per share:
Basic net income per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share ("Diluted EPS") gives effect to all dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is computed using the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of shares related to outstanding anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the calculations of diluted net earnings per share was 466,864 and 728,692 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	t.	Comprehensive income:
The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income" (formerly: SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"). This Statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders. The Company determined that its items of other comprehensive income relate to foreign currency translation adjustments.
Effective June 2011, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The Company elected to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income.
	u.	Accounting for stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.
The Company accounts for employees' share-based payment awards classified as equity awards using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions. The Company elected to recognize compensation expense for an award that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method.
The exercise price of each option is generally the fair market value on the date of the grant. Options generally become exercisable over a three to four-year period, subject to the continued employment of the employee. All options expire 7 years from the date of grant.
The Compaby did not grant any stock options during 2013. In 2012, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following  weighted average assumptions:
		2012
Dividend yield			0	%
Expected volatility			57	%
Risk-free interest rate			0.73	%
Expected life (in years)			4.22
The Company used volatility data of comparable companies with similar characteristics to the Company for calculating volatility in accordance with ASC 718. The computation of historical volatility was derived from the comparable companies' historical volatility for similar contractual terms.
The computation of risk free interest rate is based on the rate available on the date of grant of a zero-coupon U.S. government bond with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option.
The expected term of options granted is calculated using the simplified method (being the average between the vesting periods and the contractual life of the options). The Company currently uses the simplified method as adequate historical experience is not available to provide a reasonable estimate.
The dividend yield is zero, due to a dividend adjustment mechanism with respect to the exercise price upon payment of a dividend.
	v.	Redeemable non-controlling interest:
The Company is party to a put and call arrangement with respect to the remaining 45% non-controlling interest in Caesarstone Canada. Due to the existing put and call arrangements, the non-controlling interest is considered to be redeemable and is recorded on the balance sheet as a redeemable non-controlling interest outside of permanent equity. The redeemable non-controlling interest is recognized at the higher of: i) the accumulated earnings associated with the non-controlling interest, or ii) the redemption value as of the balance sheet date.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the redeemable non-controlling interest:
		December 31,
		2013			2012			201 1
Beginning of the year		$	7,106		$	6,205		$	5,662

Non-controlling interest share of contribution to equity in Caesarstone Canada Inc.			-			-			458
Foreign currency translation adjustments			(491	)		166			(167	)
Redeemable non-controlling interest - end of the year		$	7,624		$	7,106		$	6,205

This resulted in more accurate value for each finish goods or work-in-process product held in inventory. The refinement provided by the new system gave the Company a more complete matching of inventory costs incurred with cost of revenues. This refinement resulted in a change of estimate for the value of inventory amounted to one time impact of $3,458 reducing the Company's cost of revenues.

The lease is for an initial non-cancellable term of 49 years, with a renewal option of an additional 49 years. The Company analyzed the conditions set forth in ASC 840-10 and classified the land as an operating lease (since the land is not transferred to the Company at the end of the lease nor is there any option to buy the land from the ILA at any point). All payments on account of the initial term were paid in advance (based on discounted values) at the beginning of the lease, and included in the minimum lease payments to be amortized. The prepaid expenses are amortized through the term of the lease, based on the straight-line method (including the bargain renewal option term).
	Depreciation expense totaled $11,626, $10,544 and $11,188 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES [Abstract]	'
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES	'
	NOTE 11:	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
		a.	Legal proceedings and contingencies:
		1	In March 2008, the Company and its Australian subsidiary, Caesarstone Australia Pty Limited ("Caesarstone Australia" or "CSA") entered into an agreement with the former chief executive officer of Caesarstone Australia (the "former executive") and his family trust (the "Trust") granting the Trust restricted shares equal to 17% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Caesarstone Australia, subject to conditions, including vesting over a five-year period and his continued employment. The unvested shares were subject to repurchase by the Company or by Caesarstone Australia upon termination of employment at the purchase price paid by the Trust for such shares. The agreement also provided for a put option exercisable by the former executive after termination of employment other than for cause, in which case vested shares were to be purchased by the Company or Caesarstone Australia at a valuation based on a five times multiple of the EBITDA of CSA. In November 2009, the Company and Caesarstone Australia terminated the employment of the former executive for cause  and notified him of their intent to repurchase of all of his shares and sought repayment of the notice period payment. A legal proceeding took place between the parties, and in May 2012, a settlement agreement was signed by the parties pursuant to which all the shares held by the former executive were transferred to the Company and the parties agreed to an order that all the legal proceedings between them would be dismissed with no order as to costs. The Company did not make any payments in connection with such transfer or other payments to the former chief executive officer. As a result of the settlement, the liability for a share-based payment in the subsidiary was derecognized.
		2	In December 2007, the Company terminated its agency agreement with its former agent in South Africa, World of Marble and Granite ("WOMAG"), on the basis that it had breached the agreement. In the same month, the Company filed a claim for NIS 1.0 million ($268) in the Israeli District Court in Haifa based on such breach. WOMAG has contested the jurisdiction of the Israeli court on the grounds of validity of service, and filed a request to stay proceedings on the basis of an inconvenient forum (forum non conveniens). In January 2008, WOMAG filed suit in South Africa seeking €15.7 million ($21,600) for breach of contract. In August 2008, the Company filed a response to this claim disputing that the Company had any liability to WOMAG.
			In September 2013, the South African Court determined that since a proceeding on the same facts was pending before another court (lis alibi pendens), the South African Court will stay the matter until the conclusion of the Israeli action. In December 2013, the magistrate's court in Israel held that the Company was not entitled to terminate the agreement with WOMAG as it was not breached by WOMAG. The Company has filed an appeal to the district court.
			The Company believes it has valid claims under the appeal and under the proceedings in South Africa. While the Company cannot estimate the amount of the loss exposure at this time, it does not currently believe it is probable that there will be material losses related to the lawsuit filed by WOMAG.
		3	The Company is subject to a number of claims in Israel, mainly by fabricators or their employees alleging that they contracted illnesses, including silicosis, through exposure to silica particles during cutting, polishing, sawing, grinding, breaking, crushing, drilling, sanding or sculpting Company's products.
			Individual Claims
			The Company is subject to 41 pending claims of bodily injury that have been filed against it directly since 2008 in Israel or that have named the Company as third-party defendant by fabricators or their employees in Israel (one in 2008, two in 2009, four in 2010, six in 2011, seven in 2012, eight in 2013 and thirteen in 2014 through May 11, 2014).  The Company have also received nine letters threatening to file claims on behalf of certain fabricators in Israel or their employees in Israel alleging that they contracted illnesses as a result of fabricating Company's products. Each of the claims named other defendants, such as fabricators that employed the plaintiffs, the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Employment, distributors of the Company's products and insurance companies.  The pending claims include one lawsuit filed with a petition to be recognized as class action (see also note 17 below), one lawsuit filed by three stone fabricators together and one appeal which was filed in connection with a judgment granted in one of the lawsuits (as further detailed below). In addition, one claim was filed by the Israeli National Insurance Institution ("NII") for subrogation of compensation paid by the NII to certain fabricators who allegedly contracted silicosis.  Various arguments are raised in the claims, including among others product liability arguments and failure to provide warnings regarding the risks associated with silica dust generated by the fabrication of the Company's products.
			Most of the claims do not specify a total amount of damages sought, as the plaintiff's future damages will be determined at trial; however, damages totaling NIS 66.5 million (approximately $19,147) are specified in certain of the claims currently pending against the Company in Israel (excluding the claim that is seeking class action recognition, see also note 17 below). A claim filed with the Magistrates court in Israel is limited to a maximum of NIS 2.5 million (approximately $700) plus any fees, and among the 41 claims filed against the Company in Israel, 23 claims were filed in the Magistrates court. A claim filed in  the District court is not subject to such limitation. As a result, there is uncertainty regarding the total amount of damages that may ultimately be claimed.
	The Company intend to vigorously contest pending claims against it and potential claims, although there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in these claims and there is a reasonable possibility that the Company will be liable for damages in such lawsuits. Currently the Company estimates its reasonably possible  exposure with respect to 27 lawsuits out of the total 41 pending law suits to be NIS 31.8 million (approximately $9,173), although the actual result of such lawsuits may significantly vary from such estimate. The Company cannot make an estimate with respect to the other pending lawsuits . As the Company currently assessed that contingent losses related to the silicossis proceedings are only reasonably possible, pursuant to ASC 450, an accrual has not been recorded for the loss contingencies.
	December 2013 Judgment
	In December 2013, a judgment was entered by the Central District Court of Israel in one of the law suits, according to which the Company was found to be comparatively liable for 33% of the plaintiff's total damages. The remaining liability was imposed on the plaintiff at 40%, as contributory negligence, and on the Israeli Ministry of Industry at 27%. The total damages of the plaintiff were found by the court to be NIS 5.3 million (approximately $1,500). Since the plaintiff received payments from the NII,  such payments were subtracted from the total damages after reduction of the damages contributed to the plaintiff's contributory negligence. However, under Israeli law, under certain condition a plaintiff may be awarded as compensation from third party injurers, other than his employer, at least 25% of the damages claimed even if the payments that the plaintiff received from the NII equal to or exceed the actual damages of the plaintiff after deducting his contributory liability. Accordingly, in the above claim, the court awarded the plaintiff additional compensation of approximately NIS 800,000 (approximately $200) plus legal fees and expenses, which reflected 25% of the plaintiff actual damages, after deducting the plaintiff's contributory negligence and the amount of NIS 3.3 million (approximately $900) to which the claimant is entitled from the NII. After giving effect to the Israeli Ministry of Industry's comparative responsibility, the total liability imposed on the Company in this case was NIS 436,669 (approximately $126) plus the claimant's legal expenses.  Such amount was fully paid by Company's insurer in January 2014 (apart from Company's deductible). The Company, as well as the Israeli Ministry of Industry and the plaintiff, appealed on the judgment to the Israeli Supreme Court. Although the December 2013 judgement was entered, under the Israeli law, a District Court judgment does not consist a precedence binding upon other courts in Israel. There is no assurance whether the Company or any of the other appellant shall succeed in the appeals.
	Claim by Former Employee
	One of the fabricators who filed a claim against the Company was employed by the Company in the past and claimed that his illness was, in part, the result of his employment with the Company. Although there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in such claim, the Company believe that his illness is not related to his employment by the Company and intends to vigorously defend itself.
	Settled Claim
	The Company was also a party to a settlement agreement that had been approved by a court with respect to one of the claims filed. In that instance, the total settlement was for NIS 275,000 ($79) of which The Company had agreed to pay NIS 10,000 ($3) without admitting liability. Substantially all of the balance was payable by the fabricator that employed the individual in question and insurance companies.
	Dismissed U.S. Claim
	In 2012, Caesarstone USA was added as a 26th defendant approximately one year after commencement of a lawsuit bodily injury claim in the United States by a fabricator in the United States. The other 25 defendants were manufacturers of equipment utilized in stone fabricating or finishing operations or manufacturers and marketers of stone and engineered stone products. Total damages of approximately $56,000, including approximately $20,000 of punitive damages, were sought in the U.S. claim.  The case was ultimately dismissed and the Company were removed as a defendant.
		4	In November 2011, Kfar Giladi Quarries Agricultural Cooperative Society Ltd., or Kfar Giladi Quarries, and Microgil Agricultural Cooperative Society Ltd., or Microgil, an entity the Company believes is controlled by Kfar Giladi Quarries (Microgil and Kfar Giladi Quarries together shall be referred to as "Kfar Giladi"), initiated arbitration proceedings against the Company.
	On April 15, 2012, Kfar Giladi Quarries filed a complaint with the arbitrator against the Company seeking damages of NIS 232.8 million ($67,070) for breach of the agreement between the parties dated June 13, 2006. During August 2012, the Company filed with the arbitrator a legal claim against Microgil and Kfar Giladi Quarries for NIS 76.6 million ($22,068). During the arbitration the Company found out that the claimants took illegal actions in order to obtain evidence. The Company considered these actions to be a breach of the arbitration clause and accordingly, in January 2014, the Company gave the claimants a notice of the arbitration's cancellation. The Company also submitted a claim to the district court seeking a declarative judgment that the arbitration's cancellation was lawful and asked the court to stay the arbitration process until the Company's claim to the district court is adjudicated. In turn, the claimants filed a counter motion to the court asking to stay the Court proceedings. In April 2014, the court accepted the claimants' motions to stay Court proceedings and ordered the arbitrator to proceed with the arbitration process. The Company filed a leave to appeal to the supreme court of the State of Israel and at the same the arbitration process is being conducted.
	The arbitration arises out of a dispute related to the quartz processing agreement (the "Processing Agreement") that the Company entered into with Kfar Giladi in June 2006 pursuant to which Kfar Giladi committed to establish a production facility at its own expense within 21 months of the date of the Processing Agreement to process quartz for the Company and for other potential customers. Pursuant to the terms of the Processing Agreement, the Company committed to pay fixed prices for quartz processing services related to agreed upon quantities of quartz over a period of ten years from the date set for Kfar Giladi to commence operating the production facility. The Company estimated that the total amount of such payments would have been approximately $55,000. It is the Company's position that the production facility established by Kfar Giladi was not operational until approximately two years after the date required by the Processing Agreement. As a result, the Company was unable to purchase the minimum quantities set forth in the Processing Agreement and the Company therefore acquired the quantities of ground quartz that it needed from other quartz suppliers.
	It is also the Company's position, which is disputed by the claimants, that the Processing Agreement was terminated by the Company following its breach by Kfar Giladi. The Company contends that the Company's purchases of ground quartz from Kfar Giladi in 2010 and 2011 were made pursuant to new understandings reached between the parties and not pursuant to the Processing Agreement. Kfar Giladi alleges that the Processing Agreement was still in effect and that the Company did not meet its contractual commitments under the Processing Agreement to order the minimum annual quantity. In addition, once production began, the Company contends that Kfar Giladi failed to consistently deliver the required quantity and quality of ground quartz as agreed by the parties. The Company's positions are disputed by Kfar Giladi.
	The Company also contends that Kfar Giladi is responsible for not returning to the Company unprocessed quartz that it provided to them, including quartz that is currently in Kfar Giladi's possession and additional quartz that is unaccounted for. Each party has various other claims against the other. After Kfar Giladi filed its affidavits in the arbitration, the Company learned that it took illegal actions in order to obtain evidence. The Company considers these actions as a breach of the arbitration clause and accordingly informed Kfar Giladi that the arbitration is cancelled. The Company submitted a claim to the court seeking a declarative judgment that the arbitration's cancellation was lawful. The Company also submitted a motion to the court asking to stay the arbitration until its said claim is adjudicated. The Company believes that it was entitled to cancel the arbitration under the abovementioned circumstances, but its position in this matter is disputed by Kfar Giladi and there is no assurance that the Company will succeed in the claim or the application.
	In January 2012, Kfar Giladi notified the Company that it had closed its production facility as a result of the Company's breach of the Processing Agreement, although the Company was willing to keep purchasing products from Kfar Giladi.
	As of December 31, 2011, the Company's inventory of quartz in Microgil's possession totals $1,789 in value. Microgil stipulated preconditions for fulfilling the Company's orders for the processing of the Company's quartz inventory in Microgil's possession, which were refused by the Company. Accordingly, such inventory was not supplied to the Company. The Company believes that it is probable that it will not be able to realize its inventory in Microgil's possession. Accordingly, the Company wrote off such inventory in 2011.
	In conjunction with the Processing Agreement, the Company made a loan to Microgil in the amount of NIS 4.5 million under a loan agreement entered into in 2006. Under the loan agreement, the loan was to be repaid within a period of approximately four years commencing at the time of Microgil's initial provision of services to the Company under the Processing Agreement. The interest rate of the loan was Prime plus 1%, with interest repayments on a quarterly basis. Principal repayments were to be made monthly through a deduction of NIS 18 from Company payments to Microgil for each ton of quartz supplied by Microgil. As of December 31, 2011, the loan and accrued interest payments totaled $1,127.
	In light of Microgil's closing of its production facility, the Company believes that it is not probable that the remainder of the loan will be repaid by Microgil or can be otherwise collected in the near future. According to ASC 310-10-35-16, the Company believes that it is probable that it will not be able to collect the outstanding loan amount (both principal and interest), and therefore, in 2011, the Company recognized an impairment loss for the entire balance of the loan.
	The Company intends to defend the arbitration vigorously and to seek damages from Microgil for damage caused to it. However, there is no assurance that an adverse ruling or a negative outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
	Considering the preliminary stage of the proceedings, the Company cannot estimate the related risk in this lawsuit.
		5	The Company's manufacturing operations are subject to the requirements of environmental laws and regulations in Israel, as well as specific conditions set forth in the business licenses and permits related to the use, storage and discharge of hazardous materials granted by national and municipal authorities in Israel for the operation of the Company's Sdot-Yam and Bar-Lev facilities. The Company's business licenses for the Company's facilities each contain conditions related to a number of requirements, including with respect to disposal of effluent, air quality, process sludge, and the handling of waste and chemicals. The Company has a perpetual business license in Sdot Yam and a license limited in time in Bar Lev, which the Company believes will be extended. From time to time, the Company faces environmental compliance issues related to the Company's two manufacturing facilities in Israel. At present, the Company is considering remedial steps to address issues related to the following:
	In January 2010, the Israel Ministry of the Environment ("IMPE") ordered the Company to remove sludge waste that was disposed of in 2009 in a number of locations in northern Israel claiming that such disposal was unlawful. The Company has engaged in discussions with the IMPE with respect to which sites will require waste removal. The Company performed a feasible and practical clean-up project but have yet to receive any acknowledgement by the IMPE that no further actions are necessary in relation with such sludge. As of December 31, 2013, the Company reserves of approximately $614, which it believes to be adequate for anticipated future clean-up expenditures if required by the IMPE.
	The Company has been required by the IMPE to comply with the applicable requirements under the law and regulations related to styrene gas emission at both of its plants in Israel. In December 2013, the Company completed the initial installation of a system in its Bar-Lev manufacturing facility to reduce styrene emission and as the system is currently in its startup stage, the Company is in the process of examining the results of its operation. A plan for the installation of such system in its Sdot-Yam facility was presented to the IMPE and is currently expected to be operational in November 2014. However, the IMPE has asked the Compnay to participate in a hearing to address allegations that , based in the IMPE's procurement of several gas emission samplings from Sdot-Yam plant, the Company exceeded the air ambient standards. Following such hearing, the IMPE decided not to limit, for now, the Company's manufacturing scope at Sdot-Yam plant, but it has decided to commence an inquiry with respect to a suspicion that it exceeded from the threshold of styrene air ambient standards during 2013. Pursuant to such hearing, the Company was required to promptly apply intermediate measures to correct the  styrene air ambient standards by April 1, 2014, until it installs a new system by which it can conclusively solve any exceeded emission of styrene gas. The Company has installed intermediate measures and believes that the styrene emissions outside the plant have been reduced; although, there is no assurance that it will succeed in  complying with the required standards on a continuous basis by relying solely on such intermediate measures.
	The Company is in the process of developing plans to address the issue of waste water treatment, and while it currently does not believe such plans will result in material expenditures, it can provide no assurance that material expenditures will not be required in the future. The Company currently disposes of waste water from its Bar-Lev manufacturing facility to a treatment plant pursuant to a temporary permit obtained from the IMPE that was recently extended until June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company currently disposes of waste water at its Sdot-Yam facility pursuant to a temporary permit obtained from the environmental unit of the local municipal authority that is valid through August 1, 2014; however, the Company has not received approval from the IMPE for this waste water disposal. In the case that an alternative solution for disposal of the waste water is not found prior to the expiration of these permits, the Company will endeavor to obtain an extension.
	In May 2011, the Company received a letter from the Israeli fire regulation authorities detailing fire protection measures required at its facility in Kibbutz Sdot-Yam to obtain the necessary fire regulatory approval for such facility. The Company has established a program with the fire regulation authorities to adjust its fire protection measures to comply with their requirements. The Company expects this program to be completed in 2014.
	To obtain the permits the Company is required to receive in connection with the construction it completed at its Sdot-Yam facility in the recent past, it must comply with the IMPE's requirements related to styrene ambient standards and waste water. In addition, to maintain the permits necessary to operate the fifth production line at the Company's Bar-Lev manufacturing facility, which construction includes two phases, the first of which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2013 and the second is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2014, the Company must comply with the IMPE's requirements related to styrene ambient standards and waste water.
	In April 2013, the IMPE analyzed the Company's sludge waste and alleged that such sludge waste, which had been classified as construction waste, should be reclassified as hazardous waste due to a few ingredients included therein. Such a classification would result in the need to dispose the waste at a different disposal site, which involves much higher expenses compared to its current disposal costs. The Company believes that the troublesome ingredients, which are burned during its production process, are not hazardous within its products. The Company is in the process of discussing this matter with the IMPE, with the aim of obtaining their agreement that no change in the sludge-waste classification is required; although, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in such discussions.
		6	The Company and CSA initiated proceedings against one of CSA's competitors in the Federal Court of Australia alleging trademark infringement, misleading conduct and passing off by using several of the Company's trademarks. A settlement was reached at mediation in September 2011, and the respondents paid the Company AUD 1.7 million (USD 1,817). Accordingly, the Company recorded an expense reduction within general and administrative expenses.
		7	From time to time, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business related to a range of matters. While the outcome of these other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company's management does not believe that any such claims or all of them together will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
		b.	Operating lease commitments:
	The land and certain of the Company's facilities and vehicles are leased under operating lease agreements. Future minimum lease commitments under non-cancellable operating leases for the specified periods ending after December 31, 2013 are as follows:
	2014		$	11,309
	2015			9,847
	2016			8,094
	2017			7,059
	2018			6,167
	2019 and thereafter			60,113
	Total		$	102,589
	Lease expenses, net, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $12,608, $11,137 and $10,255, respectively.
		c.	Purchase obligation:
	The Company's significant contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2013 are summarized in the following table:
	2014 (1)		$	25,003
	2015 and thereafter			592
			$	25,595
		-1	Consists of purchase obligations to certain suppliers.
		d.	Pledges and guarantees:
		1	Caesarstone Australia has five guarantees outstanding with the ANZ Bank with respect to rent in the amount of $1,038.
		2	Despite the full repayment of the Company's commercial bank loans in Israel, the Company as of December 31, 2013 have fixed liens of an unlimited amount on the authorized non-paid up share capital, goodwill and a floating charge of an unlimited amount on the Company's other assets, to secure the Company's liabilities to banks in Israel. However, the Company received the banks' consent for removing such charges and subsequent to balance sheet date the Company's credit facilities and services provided by banks in Israel are secured with a "Negative floating pledge", whereby  the Company committed not to pledge or charge and not to undertake to pledge or charge its general floating assets.
		3	To secure the Company's liabilities to a bank in Canada, Caesarstone Canada has provided a security interest on certain of its inventory and other tangible and intangible assets.

	The balances at December 31, 2012 and 2013 include a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $1,084 and $1,395, respectively, for tax positions which are uncertain of being sustained. The accruals are with respect to the eligibility of certain profits to the reduced tax rates under the Company's Approved Enterprise, Beneficiary Enterprise, and Preferred Enterprise programs as well as with respect to some expenses, which deduction for tax purposes is uncertain.
	The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes in its tax expense line in its consolidated statements of income. The Company had approximately $57 and $125 accrued for interest payments as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. This accrual was fully offset by interest receivable resulting from tax advances made to the Israeli Tax Authorities.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
	Gross tax liabilities at January 1, 2011		$	1,857
	Increases in tax positions for current year			56
	Addition of tax position of prior years			494
	Decrease in tax position resulting from settlement			(1,667	)
	Foreign currency adjustments			15
	Gross tax liabilities at December 31, 2011			755
	Increases in tax positions for current year			177
	Addition of tax position of prior years			167
	Foreign currency adjustments			(15	)
	Gross tax liabilities at December 31, 2012			1,084
	Increases in tax positions for current year			151
	Addition of tax position of prior years			68
	Foreign currency adjustments			92
	Gross tax liabilities at December 31, 2013		$	1,395
	The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world, and its tax returns are periodically audited or subject to review by both domestic and foreign authorities. As a result of ongoing examinations, tax proceedings in certain countries, additions to unrecognized tax benefits for positions taken and interest and penalties, if any, arising in 2013, it is not possible to estimate the potential net increase or decrease to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of December 31, 2013:
	Israel 2010-present
	Australia 2009-present
	Canada 2010-present
	United States 2010-present
	Singapore 2010-present
		b.	Israeli taxation:
		1	Corporate tax rate:
	The corporate tax rate in Israel was 24% in 2011and 25% in 2012 and 2013.
	On December 5, 2011, the "Knesset" (Israeli parliament) passed the Law for Tax Burden Reform (Legislative Amendments), 2011 ("the Law") which, among others, cancels effective from 2012, the scheduled reduction in the corporate tax rate. The Law also increases the corporate tax rate to 25% in 2012. In view of this increase in the corporate tax rate to 25%, as above, the real capital gain tax rate and the real betterment tax rate were also increased accordingly.
	On August 5, 2013, the "Knesset" issued the Law for Changing National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Targets for 2013 and 2014), 2013 ("the Budget Law"), which consists, of, among other things,  fiscal changes whose main aim is to enhance the collection of taxes in those years.
	These changes include increasing the corporate tax rate from 25% to 26.5%, cancelling the reduction in the tax rates applicable to Preferredenterprises (9% in development area A and 16% elsewhere) and, in certain cases, increasing the rate of dividend withholding tax within the scope of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments 1959 to 20% effective from January 1, 2014, among others.
	The deferred tax balances included in the financial statements as of December 31, 2013 are calculated according to the new tax rates that were substantially enacted as of the reporting date and, therefore, comply with the above changes, as applicable to the Company.
		2	Tax benefits under Israel's Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969:
	The Company is an "Industrial Company," as defined by the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969, and as such, the Company is entitled to certain tax benefits, primarily amortization of costs relating to know-how and patents over eight years, accelerated depreciation and the right to deduct public issuance expenses for tax purposes.
		3	Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959:
	According to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the "Encouragement Law"), the Company is entitled to various tax benefits by virtue of the "Approved Enterprise" and/or  "Beneficiary Enterprise" and/or "Preferred Enterprise" status granted to part of its enterprises, in accordance with the Encouragement Law.
	As further described below, the Company chose to be taxed according to the  "Preferred Enterprise" track under Amendment No. 68 to the Encouragement Law (the "Amendment No. 68") starting in the 2011 tax year. In order to implement Amendment No. 68 and to be taxed under the "Preferred Enterprise" track,  starting from January, 1, 2011, the Company waived the tax benefits of the previous tracks -"Approved Enterprise" and "Beneficiary Enterprise" - under the Encouragement Law, starting from the 2011 tax year.
	The principal benefits by virtue of the Encouragement Law are the following:
	Tax benefits and reduced tax rates- starting from 2011 tax year:
	Preferred Enterprise track:
	In December 2010, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Policy for 2012 and 2013 (Amended Legislation- "Amendment No. 68"), which prescribes, among others, amendments in the Encouragement Law. Amendment No. 68 was enacted and became effective as of January 1, 2011.
	In order to receive benefits as a "Preferred Enterprise," Amendment No. 68 states certain conditions must be met. The basic condition for receiving the benefits under Amendment No. 68 is that the enterprise contributes to the country's economic growth and is a competitive factor for the gross domestic product (a "competitive enterprise"). In order to comply with this condition, the Encouragement Law prescribes various requirements. As for industrial enterprises, in each tax year, one of the following conditions must be met:
		1	Its main field of activity is biotechnology or nanotechnology as approved by the Head of the Administration of Industrial Research and Development.
		2	The industrial enterprise's sales revenues in a specific market during the tax year do not exceed 75% of its total sales for that tax year. A "market" is defined as a separate country or customs territory.
		3	At least 25% of the industrial enterprise's overall revenues during the tax year were generated from the enterprise's sales in a specific market with a population of at least 12 million, and starting from 2012 tax year, a population of at least 14 million.
	Israeli companies that currently benefit from an Approved or Beneficiary Enterprise status and meet the criteria for qualification as a Preferred Enterprise can elect to apply the new Preferred Enterprise benefits by waiving their benefits under the Approved and Beneficiary  Enterprise status.
	The Company has examined the effect of the implementation of Amendment No. 68 on its financial statements, and starting from the 2011 tax year, the Company elected by submitting a waiver, to be taxed under Amendment No. 68. Due to the Company's implementation of Amendment No. 68, starting from January, 1, 2011, the Company will not be entitled to tax benefits under previous tracks - "Approved Enterprise" and "Beneficiary Enterprise" - under the Encouragement Law.
	Under Amendment No. 68, some of the Company's facilities are eligible for tax benefits at a reduced flat corporate tax rate, which is not program-dependent, and applies to the Company's facilities entire preferred income. The reduced flat corporate tax rates will be gradually reduced over a period of five years, as follows: in 2011-2012, the reduced tax rate was 15% (in development area A-10%), in 2013-2014 the reduced tax rate will be -12.5% (in development area A-7%) and in 2015 and thereafter-12% (in development area A-6%).
	The effect of the adoption of this amendment on taxes on income for the year ended December 31, 2011 is a reduction in tax expense of approximately $1,800
	On August 5, 2013, the "Knesset" issued the Law for Changing National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Targets for 2013 and 2014), which consists of Amendment 71 to the Encouragement Law ("the Amendment"). According to the Amendment, the tax rate on preferred income form a preferred enterprise in 2014 and onwards and will be 16% (in development area A - 9%).
	The Company has evaluated the effect of the adoption of the Amendment on its financial statements, and as of the date of the approval of the financial statements, the Company believes that it will apply the Amendment effective from the 2014 tax year. Accordingly, the Company has adjusted its deferred tax balances as of December 31, 2013 by $575.
	The Amendment also prescribes that any dividends distributed to individuals or foreign residents from the preferred enterprise's earnings as above will be subject to tax at a rate of 20% from 2014 and onwards (or a reduced rate under an applicable double tax treaty). Upon a distribution of a dividend to an Israeli company, no withholding tax is remitted.
	Since the Company, chose to apply the provisions of Amendment No. 68, by submitting the waiver form before June 30, 2015, the Company is eligible to distribute taxed earnings derived from a Beneficiary Enterprise and/or Approved Enterprise to an Israeli company without being subject to withholding tax.
	In development area A, in addition to the tax benefits, as mentioned above, some of the Company's facilities are eligible for grants at rate of 20% and/or loans, subject to an approval of the Israeli Investment Center.
	benefits and reduced tax rates- prior to 2011 tax year:
	Grants Track
	The Company is eligible for investment grants awarded at various rates according to the development area in which the enterprise is located: in development area A the rate is up to 24% of approved investments and in development area B; the rate is 10% of approved investments.
	In addition to the above grants, in development area A, the Company is tax exempt for the first two years of the benefit period and is subject to tax at the reduced rate of no more than 25% during the remaining five years of the benefit period.
	The benefit period starts with the first year the Approved Enterprise earns taxable income, provided 14 years have not passed since the approval was granted and 12 years have not passed since the enterprise began operating. The benefit period for part of the enterprises of the Company ended at the end of the 2010 tax year due to the Company's election to apply the provisions of Amendment No. 68 to the Encouragement Law which entered into force in January, 1, 2011.
	If a dividend is distributed out of tax exempt profits, the Company will become liable for tax at the rate applicable to its profits from the Approved Enterprise in the year in which the income was earned, as if it was not in the exemption period (taxed at the rate of no more than 25%). The Company's policy is not to distribute such dividends from exempt income derived from Approved Enterprises.
	Alternative Track / Beneficiary Enterprise
	Under this track, some of the Company's facilities are tax exempt for 10 years and some of the Company's facilities are tax exempt in the first two years of the benefit period and subject to tax at the reduced rate of 10% to 25% for a period of five to eight years for the remaining benefit period (dependent on the level of foreign investments, if any).
	Following the enactment of Amendment No. 60 to the Law, subsequent to April 1, 2005, companies under the alternative benefits track are no longer required to obtain a letter of approval from the Investment Center. In addition, programs whose year of election entitled them to a beneficiary enterprise status are required, among others, to make a minimum qualifying investment. This condition requires an investment in the acquisition of productive assets such as machinery and equipment, which must be carried out within three years.
The income qualifying for tax benefits under the alternative track is the taxable income of a company that has met certain conditions as determined by the Encouragement Law (a "beneficiary company"), and which is derived from an industrial enterprise. The Encouragement Law specifies the types of qualifying income that are entitled to tax benefits under the alternative track with respect to an industrial enterprise. Income from an industrial enterprise includes, among others, revenues from selling the products produced by enterprise revenues from the production and development of software products and revenues from industrial research and development activities performed for a foreign resident (and approved by the Head of the Administration of Industrial Research and Development).
The benefit period starts with the first year the Approved Enterprise or the beneficiary enterprise earns taxable income, provided that 14 years have not passed since the approval was granted and 12 years have not passed since the enterprise began operating. In respect of expansion programs pursuant to Amendment No. 60 to the Encouragement Law, the benefit period starts at the later of the year elected and the first year the Company earns taxable income provided that 12 years have not passed since the beginning of the year of election and for new companies in development area A-14 years since the beginning of the year of election. The benefit period for part of the enterprises of the Company ended at the end of the 2010 tax year, due to the Company's election to apply the provisions to Amendment No. 68.
If a dividend is distributed out of tax exempt profits, as discussed above, the Company will become liable for taxes at the rate applicable to its profits from the Approved Enterprise or the beneficiary enterprise in the year in which the income was earned, as if it was not under the alternative track (taxed at the rate of no more than 25%). The Company's policy is not to distribute such dividends from income derived from Beneficiary Enterprises.
As for programs under the grants track which were approved after April 1, 2005 and beneficiary enterprises pursuant to Amendment No. 60 to the Law , the basic condition for receiving the benefits under these tracks is that the enterprise contributes to the country's economic growth and is a competitive factor for the gross domestic product ("a competitive enterprise"). In order to comply with this condition, the Encouragement Law prescribes various requirements regarding industrial enterprises.
As for industrial enterprises, in each tax year during the benefit period, one of the following conditions must be met:
	1	Its main field of activity is biotechnology or nanotechnology as approved by the Head of the Administration of Industrial Research and Development, prior to the approval of the aforementioned plan.
	2	The industrial enterprise's sales revenues in a specific market during the tax year do not exceed 75% of its total sales for that tax year. A "market" is defined as a separate country or customs territory.
	3	At least 25% of the industrial enterprise's overall revenues during the tax year were generated from the enterprise's sales in a specific market with a population of at least 12 million and starting from 2012 tax year, a population of at least 14 million.
Accelerated depreciation:
The Company is eligible for a deduction of accelerated depreciation on machinery and equipment used by the Approved Enterprise or the Beneficiary Enterprise or the Preferred Enterprise at a rate of 200% (or 400% for buildings) from the first year of the asset's operation.
Conditions for entitlement to benefits:
The abovementioned benefits are contingent upon the fulfillment of the conditions stipulated by the Encouragement Law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of approval for the investments in the Approved Enterprises and/or Beneficiary Enterprises, as discussed above. Non-compliance with the conditions may cancel all or part of the benefits and require a refund of the amount of the benefits, including interest. The Company's management believes that the Company is meeting the aforementioned conditions.
Of the Company's retained earnings as of December 31, 2013, approximately $22,290 is tax-exempt earnings attributable to its Approved Enterprise programs and $17,418 is tax-exempt earnings attributable to its Beneficiary Enterprise program. The tax-exempt income attributable to the Approved and Beneficiary Enterprises cannot be distributed to shareholders without subjecting the Company to taxes. If dividends are distributed out of tax-exempt profits, the Company will then become liable for tax at the rate applicable to its profits from the Approved Enterprise in the year in which the income was earned, as if it was not under the "Alternative benefits track" (taxed at the rate of no more than 25% as of December 31, 2013). Under the Encouragement Law, tax-exempt income generated under the Beneficiary Enterprise status or the Approved Enterprise status will be taxed, among other things, upon a dividend distribution or complete liquidation in accordance with the Encouragement Law.
As of December 31, 2013, if the income attributed to the Approved Enterprise would have been distributed as a dividend, the Company would have incurred a tax liability of approximately $5,573. If income attributed to the Beneficiary Enterprise would have been distributed as a dividend, including upon liquidation, the Company would have incurred a tax liability of approximately $4,355. These amounts would be recorded as an income tax expense in the period in which the Company declares the dividend.
In November 2012, the Knesset passed Amendment No. 69 to the Encouragement Law (the "Trapped Earnings Law") which provides temporary, partial relief from taxation on distribution from exempt income for companies that elect the relief through November 2013. The Trapped Earnings Law allows a company to qualify a portion of its exempt income ("Elected Earnings") for a reduced tax rate ranging between 17.5% and 6%. While the reduced tax is payable within 30 days of election, an electing company is not required to actually distribute the Elected Earnings within a set period of time. The applicable tax rate is based on a linear formula based on the portion of Elected Earnings to exempt income and the applicable tax rate prescribed in the Encouragement Law. A company electing to qualify its exempt income must undertake to make designated investments in productive fixed assets, research and development, or wages of new employees ("Designated Investment"). The Designated Investment amount is defined by a formula which considers the portion of Elected Earnings to the exempt income and the applicable tax rate prescribed by the Encouragement Law.
In addition to the reduced tax rate, a distribution of Elected Earnings would be subject to a 15% withholding tax. Since the Company announced its election to apply the provisions of Amendment No. 68 prior to July 30, 2015, the Company will be entitled to distribute income generated by the Approved/Beneficiary Enterprise to its Israeli corporate shareholders tax free. In the event of a distribution to an individual Israeli resident, the individual will be subject to withholding tax of 15% and in the event of a distribution of dividends to a foreign resident (whether individuals or corporations), the individual or corporation will be subject to withholding tax of 15% or the rate stipulated in the relevant treaty for the avoidance of double taxation.  During 2013, the Company's management decided not to utilize the relief to qualify a portion of its exempt income ("Elected Earnings") for a reduced tax rate ranging.
	c.	Non-Israeli subsidiaries taxation:
Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed based on tax laws in their countries of residence.
Statutory tax rates for investee companies are as follows:
Company incorporated in United States - 40% tax rate.
Company incorporated in Australia - 30% tax rate.
Company incorporated in Singapore - 17% tax rate.
Company incorporated in Canada - 26.24% tax rate.
Israeli income taxes and foreign withholding taxes were not provided for undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries (excluding the Company's subsidiary in Canada), according to ASC 740. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided. If these earnings were distributed to Israel in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to additional Israeli income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes.
	d.	Deferred income taxes:
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
		December 31,
		2013			2012
Deferred tax assets:
Intangible assets		$	127		$	191
Other temporary differences			5,404			4,564
Temporary differences related to inventory			1,535			2,054
Unrealized profit from sales to subsidiary			1,910			2,744

Deferred tax liabilities
Property and equipment			(4,030	)		(3,230	)
Intangible assets			(3,657	)		(4,480	)
Other temporary differences			(23	)		-
Total deferred tax liabilities			(7,710	)		(7,710	)
Deferred tax assets (liabilities), net		$	869		$	1,543
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the schedule of reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

	NOTE 14:	TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
	Kibbutz Sdot-Yam
	The Company's controlling shareholder, Kibbutz Sdot-Yam, established Caesarstone in 1987 and has an ownership interest in the Company of approximately 51%. Caesarstone is party to a series of agreements with the Kibbutz that govern different aspects of the Company's relationship and are described below.
		a.	Manpower Agreement with Kibbutz:
	On July 2011, a manpower agreement was signed with a term of 10 years from January 1, 2011. Under the manpower agreement, Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will provide the Company with labor services staffed by Kibbutz Appointees. The consideration to be paid for each Kibbutz Appointee will be based on the Company's total cost of employment for a non-Kibbutz Appointee employee performing a similar role. The number of Kibbutz Appointees may change in accordance with the Company's needs. Under the manpower agreement, the Company will notify Kibbutz Sdot-Yam of any roles that require staffing, and if the Kibbutz offers candidates with skills similar to other candidates, the Company will give preference to hiring of the relevant Kibbutz members. Kibbutz Sdot-Yam is entitled under this agreement, at its sole discretion, to discontinue the engagement of any Kibbutz Appointee of manpower services through his or her employment by Kibbutz Sdot-Yam and require such appointee to become employed directly by the Company. The Company will contribute monetarily to assist with the implementation of a professional reserve plan to encourage young Kibbutz members to obtain the necessary education for future employment with the Company. The Company will provide up to NIS 250,000 ($72) per annum for this plan linked to changes in the Israeli consumer price index plus VAT. The Company will also implement a policy that prioritizes the hiring of such young Kibbutz members as the Company's employees upon their graduation. The letter of understanding further indicates that the definitive manpower agreement will include Kibbutz Sdot-Yam's obligation to customary liability, insurance, indemnification and confidentiality and intellectual property provisions.
	Manpower service fees were $3,857, $3,846 and $4,772 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
		b.	Services from the Kibbutz:
	In December 2006, the Company entered into a services agreement with the Kibbutz pursuant to which the Kibbutz provides the Company with electricity, sewerage, maintenance, landscaping, security and other similar services. In consideration for these services, the Company pays the Kibbutz an aggregate annual amount of NIS 500,000 ($144) plus amounts based on the Company's consumption of services. This amount is subject to change at the discretion of a committee established for that purpose under the agreement. The amount has not increased since the agreement was originally signed. The initial term of the agreement was for one year commencing in January 2006 and the agreement renews annually for additional one-year periods unless terminated by either party upon 90-days prior notice. The agreement was terminated immediately following the IPO and replaced by a new services agreement, signed on July 20, 2011 and amended on February 13, 2012, with a term of eight years from the closing of the IPO and that will be automatically renewed, unless one of the parties gives six months prior notice, for additional one-year periods..
	Under the new services agreement, Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will provide the Company, among other things, with sewage infrastructure services, water supply, meals, laundry, post-delivery and other services, that Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will be granted the first refusal right for their supply to the Company, under terms that the Company may obtain from third parties. The amount that the Company will pay to the Kibbutz will generally be determined based on the amount of services the Company consumes. The amount the Company pays for services will be subject to adjustment every six months for increases in the Israeli consumer price index.
	The Company's service fees to the Kibbutz pursuant to the services agreement totaled $2,112, $2,113 and $ 1,719 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
		c.	Management Services Agreement with the Kibbutz:
	Pursuant to a management services agreement entered into on December 25, 2006, the Kibbutz provides the Company with management services, including, without limitation, strategic, operational and technical advisory services and directorship services, and the Company agreed to pay the Kibbutz a management fee of NIS 1.2 million linked to the Israeli consumer price index from December 2006 plus 7.2% of the Company's annual pre-tax net income before payment of the management fee.
	The management services agreement was terminated immediately upon the closing of the IPO.
	The Company's management service fees to the Kibbutz pursuant to the management services agreement totaled $0, $477 and $3,105 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
		d.	Land Use Agreement with the Kibbutz:
	The Company's principal offices and research and development facilities, as well as one of its two manufacturing facilities, are located on the grounds of the Kibbutz and include  buildings spaces of approximately 31,644 square meters and unbuilt areas of approximately 55,207 square meters. The Kibbutz permits the Company to use the land and facilities pursuant to a land use agreement originally signed in January 2001. This  agreement automatically renewed for up to five consecutive three-year terms until November 30, 2025 unless either party gives the other party two years' prior written notice of termination. The Company paid a monthly fee to the Kibbutz which was the NIS equivalent of $6.00 per square meter of the building and $1.50 per square meter of unbuilt property plus VAT, calculated based on the dollar-NIS representative exchange rate on the date of each payment, which may not be less than NIS 4.041 per $1.00. The agreement was terminated immediately following the IPO and replaced by a new land use agreement, signed on July 20, 2011 and amended on February 13, 2012.
	The new land use agreement has a term of 20 years commencing on April 1, 2012. Under the new land use agreement, Kibbutz Sdot-Yam permits the Company to use approximately 100,000 square meters of land, consisting of facilities and unbuilt areas, in consideration for an annual fee of NIS 12.6 million ($3,400) in 2012 and NIS 12.9 million ($3,500) in 2013, (each of these amounts do not include approximately NIS 62,000 ($18) for an additional area that the Company has leased on the grounds of Kibbutz Sdot-Yam due to the Company's needs and Kibbutz Sdot-Yam's consent under the same terms as the land use agreement), in each case plus VAT, and beginning in 2013, adjusted every six months based on any increase of the Israeli consumer price index compared to the index as of January 2011.
	Pursuant to an agreement dated January 4, 2012, for the settlement of reimbursement for building expenses incurred by the Company from January 2012, NIS 82,900 ($24) and NIS 43,000 ($12) will not be included in the land use fees until the year 2020 and year 2015, respectively.
	The annual fee may be adjusted after January 1, 2021 (or after January 1, 2018 if the Kibbutz is required to pay significantly higher lease fees to the ILA or the Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Caesarea Development Corporation Ltd.) and every three years thereafter, if Kibbutz Sdot-Yam chooses to obtain an appraisal. The appraiser will be mutually agreed upon or, in the absence of agreement, will be chosen by Kibbutz Sdot-Yam out of the list of appraisers recommended at that time by Bank Leumi Le-Israeli ("Bank Leumi"). Under the new land use agreement, the Company may not terminate the operation of either of its two production lines at its plant in Kibbutz Sdot-Yam as long as the Company continues to operate production lines elsewhere in Israel, and its headquarters must remain at Kibbutz Sdot-Yam. The Company may also not decrease or return to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam any part of the land underlying the new land use agreement; however, it may submit a written request to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam to return certain lands. Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will have three months to accept or reject such request, in its sole discretion, provided that if it does not respond within such three-month period, the Company will be entitled to sublease such lands to a person approved in advance by Kibbutz Sdot-Yam. In such event, the Company will continue to be liable to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam with respect to such lands.
	Pursuant to the new land use agreement, if the Company needs additional facilities on the land that the Company is permitted to use in Kibbutz Sdot-Yam, subject to obtaining the permits required by law, Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will build such facilities for the Company, by using the proceeds of a loan that the Company will make to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam, which loan shall be repaid to the Company by off-setting the monthly additional payment that the Company will pay for such new facilities and, if not fully repaid during the land use agreement term, upon termination thereof.
	In addition, the Company has committed to fund the cost of construction, up to a maximum of NIS 3.3 million (approximately $1,000) plus VAT, required to change the access road leading to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam and its facilities, such that the entrance of the Company's facilities will be separated from the entrance into Kibbutz Sdot-Yam. In addition, the Company has committed to pay NIS 200,000 ($57.6) plus VAT to cover the cost of paving an area of land leased from Kibbutz Sdot-Yam with such payment to be deducted in monthly installments over a four-year period beginning in 2013 from the lease payments to be made to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam under the land use agreement related to the Company's Sdot-Yam facility.
	Starting from January 1, 2014, the Company is making use, per the Company's needs, of additional offices area in Kibbutz Sdot-Yam  of approximately 400 sqm, for fees which amount to NIS 77,956 ($22). Such additional area shall be used by the Company as long as the Company needs it and not later than the end of the new land use agreement.
	Pursuant to a new agreement signed on July 20, 2011 and amended on February 13, 2012 with Kibbutz Sdot-Yam that became effective in March 2012 and expires in October 2017, if the Company wishes to acquire or lease any additional lands, whether on the grounds of the Company's Bar-Lev manufacturing facility, or elsewhere in Israel, for the purpose of establishing new plants or production lines: (i) Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will purchase the land and build the required facilities' structure on such land at its own expense in accordance with the Company's needs; (ii) the Company will perform any necessary building adjustments at the Company's expense; and (iii) Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will lease the land and the facility to the Company under a long-term lease agreement with terms to be negotiated in accordance with the then prevailing market price. As a result, the Company depends on Kibbutz Sdot-Yam to act in connection with the expansion of the Company's facilities. The Company  may also incur greater costs associated with the purchase of additional land or the construction of additional facilities than it could obtain from a third-party due to its arrangement with Kibbutz Sdot-Yam. In addition, under this agreement, Kibbutz Sdot-Yam has agreed not to compete with the Company as long as it holds more than 10% of the Company's shares.
	Pursuant to the above agreement, the Company has entered into an agreement with Kibbutz Sdot-Yam dated August 6, 2013, under which Kibbutz Sdot-Yam acquired additional land of approximately 12,800 on the grounds near the Company's Bar-Lev facility, which the Company required in connection with the construction of the fifth production line at the Company's Bar-Lev manufacturing facility,  leased it to the Company at market value. Under the agreement, Kibbutz Sdot-Yam committed to (i) acquire the long-term leasing rights of the Additional Bar-Lev Land from the ILA, (ii) acquire all permits and approvals required for performing the preparation work of the Additional Bar-Lev Land and for the building of the Warehouse, (iii) perform the preparation work of the Additional Bar-Lev Land and build the Warehouse, through the administrative body of Bar-Lev industry park  and other contractors according to plans provided by the Company. According to the said agreement, Kibbutz Sdot Yam will build a Warehouse for the Company in Bar-Lev, that will be situated both on the current and new land. The finance of the building of the Warehouse will be made through a loan that  will be granted by the Company to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam, in the amount of the total cost related to the building of the Warehouse and such loan, including principle and interest, shall be repaid by setoff of the lease due to Kibbutz Sdot Yam by the Company for its use of the warehouse. The principle amount of such loan will bear an interest at a rate of 5.3% a year.
		e.	Land Purchase Agreement and Leaseback:
	During September 2012, the Company completed the selling of the rights in the lands and facilities of the Bar-Lev Industrial Center (the "Bar-Lev Grounds") to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam in consideration for NIS 43.7 million (approximately $10,900). The carrying value of the Bar-Lev grounds at the time of closing this transaction was NIS 39 million (approximately $9,900). The land purchase agreement was executed simultaneously with the execution of a land use agreement. Pursuant to the land use agreement, Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will permit the Company to use the Bar-Lev Grounds for a period of 10 years commencing on September 2012 that will be automatically renewed, unless the Company gives two years prior notice, for a ten-year term in consideration for an annual fee of NIS 4.15 million (approximately $1,100) to be linked to increases in the Israeli consumer price index. The fee is subject to adjustment following January 1, 2021 and every three years thereafter at the option of Kibbutz Sdot-Yam if Kibbutz Sdot-Yam chooses to obtain an appraisal that supports such an increase. The appraiser would be mutually agreed upon or, in the absence of agreement, will be chosen by Kibbutz Sdot-Yam from a list of assessors recommended at that time by Bank Leumi.
	Pursuant to the agreement discussed in the preceding paragraphs, prior to October 2017, if the Company wishes to acquire or lease any additional lands, whether in the Bar-Lev Grounds or elsewhere in Israel, for the purpose of establishing new plants or production lines: (i) Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will purchase the land and build the required facilities on such land at its own expense in accordance with the Company's needs; (ii) the Company will perform any additional building and necessary adjustments at the Company's expense; and (iii) Kibbutz Sdot-Yam will lease the land and the facility to the Company under a long-term lease agreement with terms to be negotiated in accordance with the then prevailing market price.
	The Company's equipment that resides within the premises is considered integral equipment (as defined in ASC 360-20-15-4) due to the significant costs involved in relocating such equipment. Since the Company did not sell this equipment to Kibbutz Sdot-Yam as part of the transaction, the transaction is considered a partial sale and leaseback of real estate. As a result, the transaction does not qualify for "sale lease-back" accounting (as it is a failed sale from an accounting perspective) as defined under the relevant provisions of ASC 360-20, and the Company recorded the entire amount received as consideration as a liability while the land and building will remain on its books until the end of the lease term under the provisions of ASC 840-40. If amounts to be paid under the arrangement were to be accreted as a liability based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate, the resulting liability would not cover the anticipated depreciated cost of the building and land at the end of the lease (thereby creating a built-in loss).
	The entire amount that was paid was accreted to the full anticipated book value of the land and building at the end of the lease term using a higher effective interest rate that will equalize the amounts paid to the full anticipated book value of the land and building at the end of the lease. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a liability of $11,919 as a result of this transaction.
	The financing leaseback from related party  mature as follows, as of December 31, 2013:
	2014		$	527
	2015			558
	2016			590
	2017			625
	2018			662
	2019 and thereafter			8,957
			$	11,919
	The balance at December 31, 2013 and 2012, includes $1,222 and $921 of deferred tax assets on the Company liability and a $1,089 and $784 deferred tax liability on the buildings depreceiation during the next  years due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the property and the liability for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
	The Company's payments pursuant to the land use agreement and the land purchase agreement and leaseback totaled $4,851 and $3,516 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Tene
		f.	Management Services Agreement with Tene:
	Pursuant to an investment agreement, the Company entered into a management services agreement with Tene on December 25, 2006, in which the Company agreed to pay Tene an annual management fee of NIS 600,000 linked to the annual increases in the Israeli consumer price index from December 2006 (payable on a quarterly basis) plus 1.0% of the Company's annual pre-tax income before the payment of the management fee based on the Company's annual financial reports (payable 30 days following approval of the Company's annual financial statements for each year). These amounts bear interest at an annual interest rate of 3.5% from their due date until actual payment. Commencing on January 3, 2010, the amount of the annual management fee was increased to NIS 870,000, linked to annual increases in the Israeli consumer price index plus 1.58% of the amount of the Company's annual pre-tax income before payment of the management fee based on the Company's annual financial statements.
	On December 31, 2011, the management services agreement was automatically renewed for an additional three-year period. The management services agreement was terminated immediately upon the closing of the IPO.
	The Company paid Tene management fees totaling $0, $161 and  $853, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

Use of estimates

'

a.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they were made.

Financial statements in U.S. dollars

'

b.

Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

The Company's revenues are generated in U.S. dollars, New Israeli Shekels (NIS), Australian dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. In addition, most of the Company's costs are incurred in U.S. dollars, NIS, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros and Singapore dollars.

Effective July 1, 2012, the Company changed its functional currency to the U.S. dollar from the NIS.

In determining the appropriate functional currency that should be used, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 830-10-55-5, which states that the following economic factors, and possibly others, should be considered both individually and collectively when determining the functional currency:

Sales market indicators - With the recent acquisition of the remaining shares of Caesarstone USA (see note 1b), the Company's management anticipated that the USD-denominated portion of the Company's sales would continue to grow in the future due to the significant growth opportunities in the U.S. market.

Financing indicators - The initial public offering of the Company's shares and listing in the United States, which has given the Company more access to the U.S. market, and therefore contributed to an increase in cash flows of U.S. dollars. The Company's management expects that the Company's future financing and capital raising will be primarily in USD and in the U.S capital markets.

Cash flow indicators - The Company's cash inflows and outflows are affected by the sales, expenses and financing indicators that were analyzed above.

Budget - At the beginning of 2012,  the Company's management changed the currency of its budget from NIS to USD. The change was made as a result of the increasing USD exposure through its revenue and expenses, the expected IPO which the Company anticipated would increase the Company's USD cash flow and management plans to expand their operations in the U.S market by establishing a significant manufacturing facility in the U.S, which would increase the Company's sales denominated in USD.

Based on the above, the Company's management believes that its primary economic environment has changed from NIS to the U.S. dollar.  This has resulted in significant changes in economic facts and circumstances that indicate that the functional currency has changed from the NIS to the U.S. dollar.  The Company accounted for the change in functional currency prospectively as it is the result of a change in facts.

As of July 1, 2012, all the Company's assets and liabilities were translated using the current rate method, using the U.S. dollar exchange rate as of June 30, 2012, and equity was translated using the historical exchange rate at the relevant transaction date. Since the Company's reporting currency has not changed (it was the U.S. dollar also prior to June 30, 2012, in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X, Rule 3-20), the Company previously translated its financial statements (from the former functional currency NIS to the reporting currency U.S. dollars) using the same current rate method, therefore, no translation differences have resulted from the change in functional currency.

The functional currency of each of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local currency in which it operates.

ASC 830 "Foreign Currency Matters" sets the standards for translating foreign currency financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries. The first step in the translation process is to identify the functional currency for each entity included in the financial statements. The accounts of each entity are then measured in its functional currency. All transaction gains and losses from the measurement of monetary balance sheet items, which are not related to subsidiaries translation, are reflected in the statement of income as finance income or expenses, as appropriate.

After the measurement process is complete, the financial statements are translated into the parent functional currency (U.S. dollar) using the current rate method. Translation adjustments relating to conversion to functional currencies within group entities are reported as a component of shareholders' equity. Equity accounts are translated using historical exchange rates. All other balance sheet accounts are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statement of income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year.

Principles of consolidation

'

c.

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances, including profit from intercompany sales not yet realized outside of the Company, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash equivalents

'

d.

Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired.

Short-term bank deposits

'

e.

Short-term bank deposits:

Short-term bank deposits are deposits with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year. The short-term bank deposits are presented at their cost, which approximates their fair value.

Derivatives not designated as hedging accounting instruments consist primarily of forward and options contracts that the Company uses to limit its exposure to foreign currencies. The Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and measures those instruments at fair value. Since the derivative instruments that the Company holds do not meet the definition of hedging instruments under ASC 815, the Company recognizes immediately changes in the fair values in its consolidated statement of income in finance expenses, net. The notional principal amount of foreign exchange contracts was $65,098 and $90,535 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Inventories

'

g.

Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to historical and projected sales volumes, current and historical selling prices and contractual obligations to maintain certain levels of parts. Based on these evaluations, inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, discontinued products, excess inventories, market prices lower than cost and adjusted revenue forecasts.

Cost is determined as follows:

Raw materials, parts and supplies: using the "standard cost" method.

Work-in-progress and finished products: on the basis of direct manufacturing costs with the addition of allocable indirect costs, representing allocable operating overhead expenses and manufacturing costs.

Property, plant and equipment

'

h.

Property, plant and equipment:

1

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and investment grants.

2

Materials, payroll and other costs that are direct incremental costs necessary to bring an asset to the condition of its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment.

3

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets at the following annual rates:

%

Machinery and manufacturing equipment

Apr-33

Office equipment and furniture

Jul-33

Motor vehicles

30-Oct

Buildings

5-Apr

Leasehold improvements are depreciated by the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

The Company has accounted for its assets that are under a capital lease arrangement in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 840 "Leases" ("ASC 840"). Accordingly, assets under a capital lease are stated as assets of the Company on the basis of ordinary purchase prices (without the financing component), and depreciated according to the shorter of the lease term and the usual depreciation rates applicable to such assets.

Lease payments payable in forthcoming years, net of the interest component included in them, are included in liabilities. The interest in respect of such amounts is accrued on a current basis and is charged to earnings.

Impairment of long-lived assets

'

i.

Impairment of long-lived assets:

The Company's long-lived assets, tangible and intangible assets (other than goodwill), are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360") whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses were identified during any period presented.

Goodwill

'

j.

Goodwill:

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition. Under Accounting Standard Codification 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350") goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise).

ASC 350 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures impairment.

In the first phase of impairment testing, goodwill attributable to the reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second phase is then performed. The second phase of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently, if impairment indicators are present. The Company operates in one operating segment. Each of the Company's subsidiaries could be considered to be reporting units, however the Company concluded that all of the Company's components should be aggregated and deemed as a single reporting unit for the purpose of performing the goodwill impairment test in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-35, since they have similar economic characteristics.

Goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing its fair value with its carrying value. As required by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", the Company applies assumptions that market place participants would consider in determining the fair value of reporting unit. No impairment of goodwill was identified during any period presented.

Warranty

'

k.

Warranty:

The Company generally provides a standard warranty of between three and 10 years for its products, depending on the type of product and the country in which the Company does business. The Company records a provision for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty at the time of sale. Factors that affect the Company's warranty reserve include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair. The following table provides the details of the change in the Company's warranty accrual for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Revenue recognition

'

l.

Revenue recognition:

The Company derives its revenues from sales of quartz surfaces mostly through a combination of direct sales in certain markets and indirectly through a network of distributors in other markets.

Revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition") formerly: SAB 104) when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is probable and no further obligations exist. In general, the Company does not grant right of returns, except to customers in Australia, for a limited period. The Company does not maintain a provision for product returns, as historical returns are immaterial and the Company does not anticipate any material returns in the future.

All of the Company's products sold through agreements with exclusive distributors are non-exchangeable, non-refundable, non-returnable and without any rights of price protection or stock rotation. Accordingly, the Company considers all the distributors to be end-consumers.

Research and development costs

'

m.

Research and development costs:

Research and development costs, net of grants received, are charged to the statement of income as incurred.

Income taxes

'

n.

Income taxes:

The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" (formerly: SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"). This statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting.

The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly: FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109"). ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its tax expenses.

Advertising expenses

'

o.

Advertising expenses:

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $16,589, $14,931 and $13,490, respectively.

Concentrations of credit risk

'

p.

Concentrations of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and trade receivables.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in U.S. dollars,  mainly with major banks in Israel.

The Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to customers located mainly in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and to date has not experienced any substantial losses. In certain circumstances, the Company requires letters of credit or prepayments. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. Provisions for doubtful accounts were recorded in general and administrative expenses.

The following table provides the detail of the change in the Company's provision for doubtful debts:

The Company from time to time enters into forward and option contracts (collectively, "derivative instruments") intended to protect against changes in foreign currencies. The derivative instruments were not qualified for hedge accounting under Accounting Standard Codification 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in the fair value carried to the statements of income and included in finance expenses, net. All derivatives have major banks in Israel as counterparties.

Severance pay

'

q.

Severance pay:

The Company's liability for severance pay, with respect to its Israeli employees, is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law and employee agreements based on the most recent salary of the employees. The Company's liability for all of its Israeli employees is provided for by monthly deposits with insurance policies and by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset on the Company's balance sheet.

The deposited funds include profits or losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligations pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements.

Some agreements with employees specifically state, in accordance with section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963, that the Company's contributions for severance pay shall be instead of severance compensation and that upon release of the policy to the employee, no additional calculations shall be conducted between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments shall be made by the Company to the employee.

Further, since the Company has signed agreements with the section 14 provision with certain employees, the related obligation and amounts deposited on behalf of such obligation are not stated on the balance sheet, as they are legally released from obligation to employees once the deposit amounts have been paid.

Severance expense, net, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $(97), $(67) and $(75), respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments

'

r.

Fair value of financial instruments:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1-

Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2-

Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3-

Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and the investments are categorized as Level 3.

Foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

The following table presents the Company's assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables and trade payables, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments. The carrying amount of long-term loans approximates their fair value as well.

Basic and diluted net income per share

'

s.

Basic and diluted net income per share:

Basic net income per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income per share ("Diluted EPS") gives effect to all dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is computed using the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of shares related to outstanding anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the calculations of diluted net earnings per share was 466,864 and 728,692 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Comprehensive income

'

t.

Comprehensive income:

The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income" (formerly: SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"). This Statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders. The Company determined that its items of other comprehensive income relate to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Effective June 2011, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The Company elected to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income.

Accounting for stock-based compensation

'

u.

Accounting for stock-based compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.

The Company accounts for employees' share-based payment awards classified as equity awards using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions. The Company elected to recognize compensation expense for an award that has a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method.

The exercise price of each option is generally the fair market value on the date of the grant. Options generally become exercisable over a three to four-year period, subject to the continued employment of the employee. All options expire 7 years from the date of grant.

The Compaby did not grant any stock options during 2013. In 2012, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following  weighted average assumptions:

2012

Dividend yield

0

%

Expected volatility

57

%

Risk-free interest rate

0.73

%

Expected life (in years)

4.22

The Company used volatility data of comparable companies with similar characteristics to the Company for calculating volatility in accordance with ASC 718. The computation of historical volatility was derived from the comparable companies' historical volatility for similar contractual terms.

The computation of risk free interest rate is based on the rate available on the date of grant of a zero-coupon U.S. government bond with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option.

The expected term of options granted is calculated using the simplified method (being the average between the vesting periods and the contractual life of the options). The Company currently uses the simplified method as adequate historical experience is not available to provide a reasonable estimate.

The dividend yield is zero, due to a dividend adjustment mechanism with respect to the exercise price upon payment of a dividend.

Redeemable non-controlling interest

'

v.

Redeemable non-controlling interest:

The Company is party to a put and call arrangement with respect to the remaining 45% non-controlling interest in Caesarstone Canada. Due to the existing put and call arrangements, the non-controlling interest is considered to be redeemable and is recorded on the balance sheet as a redeemable non-controlling interest outside of permanent equity. The redeemable non-controlling interest is recognized at the higher of: i) the accumulated earnings associated with the non-controlling interest, or ii) the redemption value as of the balance sheet date.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the redeemable non-controlling interest:

The lease is for an initial non-cancellable term of 49 years, with a renewal option of an additional 49 years. The Company analyzed the conditions set forth in ASC 840-10 and classified the land as an operating lease (since the land is not transferred to the Company at the end of the lease nor is there any option to buy the land from the ILA at any point). All payments on account of the initial term were paid in advance (based on discounted values) at the beginning of the lease, and included in the minimum lease payments to be amortized. The prepaid expenses are amortized through the term of the lease, based on the straight-line method (including the bargain renewal option term).

[1]	In the second quarter of 2013, following the implementation of a new Enterprise Resources Planning ("ERP") system, the Company refined its method of finished goods costing based on the ERP system's ability to create in enhanced and refined bill of materials for each stock keeping unit. This resulted in more accurate value for each finish goods or work-in-process product held in inventory. The refinement provided by the new system gave the Company a more complete matching of inventory costs incurred with cost of revenues. This refinement resulted in a change of estimate for the value of inventory amounted to one time impact of $3,458 reducing the Company's cost of revenues.

[2]	The Company leases land from the Israel Lands Administration ("ILA") for its Bar-Lev manufacturing facility. The lease term started on February 6, 2005. The lease is for an initial non-cancellable term of 49 years, with a renewal option of an additional 49 years. The Company analyzed the conditions set forth in ASC 840-10 and classified the land as an operating lease (since the land is not transferred to the Company at the end of the lease nor is there any option to buy the land from the ILA at any point). All payments on account of the initial term were paid in advance (based on discounted values) at the beginning of the lease, and included in the minimum lease payments to be amortized. The prepaid expenses are amortized through the term of the lease, based on the straight-line method (including the bargain renewal option term).
