NOTE 3 - PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies and calculation methods, which have been implemented in the preparation of the financial information for the interim period, are consistent with those that were implemented in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the below:
Asset held for sale
Non-current assets that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered mainly through a sale transaction in the next 12 months, that is highly probable, rather than through continued use. Once classified as held for sale, these assets are not subject to depreciation or amortization and are presented among current assets.
NOTE 4 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires the Company’s management to exercise judgment and it also requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions, which affect the implementation of the Group’s accounting policy and the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities and expenses. The actual results may be different from these estimates.
When preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments that were applied by the management in the implementation of the Group’s accounting policy and the uncertainty that is inherent in the key sources of the estimates were identical to those in the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(incorporated on January 4, 2022; hereinafter – the “JV”)), of which the Company and Rani Zim each hold 45% of its shares (under a joint control arrangement).
