REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Ham-Let Israel-Canada Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ham-Let Israel-Canada Ltd. and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

We did not audit the financial statements of four entities- S&S Valve Co., Ltd., Norvalves AS, Rovac Pte, Ltd. and Ham-Let Russia LLC, wholly-owned subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 19 percent and 23 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these entities, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Basis for qualified opinion

As discussed in Note 2b, the financial statements of Ham-Let Israel-Canada Ltd. do not include the full comparative financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, as required under IFRS (IAS 1.38).

Opinion

In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, except for the effects of the matter described above, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ham-Let Israel-Canada Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Stockholder and Board of Directors of

S&S Valve Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of S&S Valve Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in basis for qualified opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

The financial statements of the Company do not include the full comparative financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, as required under IFRS (IAS 1.38).

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Norvalves AS, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

NOTE 1: - GENERAL

General description of the Group and its operations

Ham-Let (Israel-Canada) Ltd. (hereinafter - "the Company") is an Israeli resident company incorporated in Israel. The address of the Company's registered office is 1 Hayotzer Street, Ziporit Industrial Zone, Nof Hagalil. The consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2020 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively "the Group"). The Group is engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of fittings, faucets and valves for control and monitoring industrial systems in a variety of segments and uses for ultra clean gas transportation systems in the microelectronic industry and additional clean industries as well as in development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of process valves, control valves and fittings for the transmission of liquids and gases.

In addition, the Group is engaged in the development and design of systems integrated with Industrial Internet of Things systems in its three operating segments.

The securities of the Company were listed for trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange until March 31, 2021. As of April 1, 2021, the company is a privately owned company acquired by Ultra Clean Holdings Inc. ("UCT") See Note 26(c) and Note 29.

The Coronavirus

As of the beginning of 2020 the world has been facing an event with macroeconomic consequences, which originated in the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). As of the financial statements approval date, and during the reporting period, the Coronavirus outbreak has not had a material effect on the Company’s business activity.

As of the financial statements approval date, the Company continues to operate while maintaining a continuous work routine and adhering to the relevant guidelines of the relevant entities. At this stage, the Company is unable to estimate the possible future impact of the Coronavirus on its activities and results, as their impact on the Group's activities depends, amongst else, on the extent and scope of the spread of the Coronavirus and the restrictions imposed on the economy as a result. An additional wave of the virus and the deterioration of the crisis, to the extent of a long-term recession, insofar as it happens, naturally might impair the Group's continued operations and lead to a material adverse effect on the Group's segments of operations. For example, these effects may lead, among other things, to significantly impact the volume of demand for the Group's products which will lead to a reduction in sales, affect the price of the raw materials used by the Company, cause delays in collection of payments from customers and more.

Definitions

In these financial statements -

The Company - Ham-Let (Israel-Canada) Ltd.

The Group - The Company and its subsidiaries.

Consolidated subsidiaries - Companies the financial statements of which are fully consolidated, directly or indirectly, with the financial statements of the Company (hereinafter: consolidated subsidiary or subsidiary).

Related parties - Within their meaning in IAS 24 (2009), "Related Party Disclosures".

Interested parties - Within their meaning in Paragraph (1) of the definition of an "interested party" in a corporation in Section 1 of the Securities Law, 1968.

Dollar - US dollar.

NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting principles as detailed as follows were used consistently throughout the financial statements, throughout all the periods presented, unless it is noted otherwise.

Basis of presentation of the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter: "IFRS").

Furthermore, the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the provisions of the Israeli Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010.

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a cost basis, except for:

Financial instrument and derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss;

Inventory measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value;

Deferred tax assets and liabilities;

Employee benefit assets and liabilities.

The Company has elected to present the profit or loss items using the function of expense method.

Comparative financial information

The financial statements of Ham-Let Israel-Canada Ltd. do not include the full comparative financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, as required under IFRS (IAS 1.38).

The operating cycle

The operating cycle of the Company does not exceed 12 months.

Consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of companies that are controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing whether an entity has control. The consolidation of the financial statements commences on the date on which control is obtained and ends when such control ceases.

The financial statements of the Company and of the subsidiaries are prepared as of the same dates and periods. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies by all companies in the Group. Significant intragroup balances and transactions and gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full in the consolidated financial statements.

Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the fair value of the consideration transferred on the acquisition date.

Direct acquisition costs are carried to the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

Contingent consideration is recognized at fair value on the acquisition date and classified as a financial asset or liability in accordance with IFRS 9. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss. If the contingent consideration is classified as an equity instrument, it is measured at fair value on the acquisition date without subsequent remeasurement.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost which represents the excess of the acquisition consideration and the amount of non-controlling interests over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the resulting amount is negative, the acquirer recognizes the resulting gain on the acquisition date.

Functional currency, presentation currency and foreign currency

Functional currency and presentation currency

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the US dollar, which is the functional currency of the Company and most of the subsidiaries.

The Group determines the functional currency of each Group entity, including companies accounted for at equity.

Foreign operations

Assets, including fair value adjustments upon acquisition, and liabilities of an investee which is a foreign operation, are translated at the closing rate at each reporting date. Profit or loss items are translated at average exchange rates for all periods presented. The resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency

Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded upon initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at each reporting date into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange rate differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or accounted for as hedging transactions in equity, are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

Index-linked monetary items

Monetary assets and liabilities linked to the changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("Israeli CPI") are adjusted at the relevant index at each balance sheet date according to the terms of the agreement.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents are considered as highly liquid investments, including unrestricted short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of investment or with a maturity of more than three months, but which are redeemable on demand without penalty and which form part of the Group's cash management.

Short-term deposits

Short-term bank deposits are deposits with an original maturity of more than three months from the date of investment and which do not meet the definition of cash equivalents. The deposits are presented according to their terms of deposit.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined in respect of specific debts whose collection, in the opinion of the Company's management, is doubtful. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventory comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs

necessary to make the sale. The Company periodically evaluates the condition and age of the inventory and makes provisions for slow moving inventory accordingly.

Cost of inventory is determined as follows

Raw and auxiliary materials	-	At cost according to the moving average method.

Work in progress and finished goods	-	Based on the standard cost that reflects the average production cost for the period and includes materials, labor and other direct and indirect manufacturing expenses.

If, in a particular period, production is not in normal capacity, inventory cost does not include fixed overhead costs in excess of that required for normal capacity. Such unallocated overhead costs are recognized as an expense in profit or loss in the period incurred. Furthermore, the inventory cost does not include exceptional cost of materials, labor and others deriving from inefficiency.

Revenue recognition

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when the control of the goods or service is transferred to the customer. The transaction price is the amount of consideration expected to be received based on the contract terms, excluding amounts collected in favor of third parties (such as taxes).

In determining the amount of revenue from contracts with customers, the Company evaluates whether it acts as a principal or as an agent in the arrangement. The Company is a principal when the Company controls the promised goods or services before their transfer to the customer. In such circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue in the gross amount of the consideration. In cases where the Company acts as an agent, it recognizes revenue for the net amount of the consideration, after deducting the amount due to the principal.

Revenue from the sale of goods:

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized in profit or loss at the point in time when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery of the goods to the customer.

Government grants

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and the Company will comply with the attached conditions and they are initially recognized at fair value.

Government grants received for the purchase of an asset are presented net of the related asset and are recognized in the profit and loss statement on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

Taxes on income

Current or deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to items which are recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

Current taxes

The current tax liability is measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date as well as adjustments required in connection with the tax liability in respect of previous years.

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are computed in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is not probable that they will be utilized. Deductible carryforward losses and temporary differences for which deferred tax assets had not been recognized are reviewed at each reporting date and a respective deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that their utilization is probable.

Taxes that would apply in the event of the disposal of investments in investees have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as long as the disposal of the investments in investees is not probable in the foreseeable future. Also, deferred taxes that would apply in the event of distribution of earnings by investees as dividends have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, since the distribution of dividends does not involve an additional tax liability or since it is the Company's policy not to initiate distribution of dividends from a subsidiary that would trigger an additional tax liability.

Deferred taxes are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset a current tax asset against a current tax liability and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxpayer and the same taxation authority.

Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company first applied IFRS 16, "Leases" ("the Standard"). The Company elected to apply the provisions of the Standard using the modified retrospective method (without restatement of comparative data).

The accounting policy applied effective from January 1, 2019, is as follows:

The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when the contract terms convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group as a lessee

For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company recognizes on the commencement date of the lease a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, excluding leases whose term is up to 12 months and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. For these excluded leases, the Company has elected to recognize the lease payments as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In measuring the lease liability, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in the Standard and does not separate the lease components from the non-lease components, such as: management services, maintenance services, etc., included in a single contract.

Leases which entitle employees to a company car as part of their employment terms are accounted for as employee benefits in accordance with the provisions of IAS 19 and not as subleases.

On the commencement date, the lease liability includes all unpaid lease payments discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or otherwise using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability using the effective interest rate method.

On the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is recognized in an amount equal to the lease liability plus lease payments already made on or before the commencement date and initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use asset is measured applying the cost model and depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease term.

Following are the periods of depreciation of the right-of-use assets by class of underlying asset:

	No. of years	Mainly

Land	1-13	13
Vehicles	1-3	3

The Company tests for impairment of the right-of-use asset whenever there are indications of impairment pursuant to the provisions of IAS 36.

Index-linked lease payments

On the commencement date of the lease, the Company uses the existing index rate at the commencement date for the purpose of calculating the future lease payments.

In transactions in which the Company is a lessee, changes in the amount of the future lease payments as a result of a change in the index are discounted (without changing the discount rate applicable to the lease liability) to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and are recognized as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the lease liability only when there has been a change in the cash flows resulting from a change in the index (meaning, on the date on which the adjustment of the lease payments is in effect).

Lease extension and termination options

A non-cancellable lease term includes both the periods covered by an option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the extension option will be exercised and the periods covered by a lease termination option when it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be exercised.

In the event of any change in the expected exercise of the lease extension option or in the expected non-exercise of the lease termination option, the Company remeasures the lease liability based on the revised lease term using a revised discount rate as of the date of the change in expectations. The total change is recognized in the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset until it is reduced to zero, and any further reductions are recognized in profit or loss.

Lease modifications

If a lease modification does not reduce the scope of the lease and does not result in a separate lease, the Company remeasures the lease liability based on the modified lease terms using a revised discount rate as of the modification date and records the change in the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

If a lease modification reduces the scope of the lease, the Company recognizes a gain or loss arising from the partial or full reduction of the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability. The Company subsequently remeasures the carrying amount of the lease liability according to the revised lease terms, at the revised discount rate as of the modification date and records the change in the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including directly attributable costs, less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and any related investment grants and excluding day-to-day servicing expenses. Cost includes spare parts and auxiliary equipment that are used in connection with fixed assets.

A part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately using the component method.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets at annual rates as follows:

		%

Buildings (excluding the land component)		4
Machinery, equipment and infrastructure systems		6 - 15
Office furniture and equipment		6 - 20
Leasehold improvements		10

The useful life, depreciation method and residual value of an asset are reviewed at least each year-end and any changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate. Regarding examination of impairment of property, plant and equipment, see p below.

Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized. An asset is derecognized on disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from its use. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of the asset (determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount in the financial statements) is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

Intangible assets

Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Expenditures relating to internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.

The Group recognizes goodwill at fair value at the acquisition date in the amount of the consideration transferred less the net amount attributed on the purchase date to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least at each year end.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not systematically amortized and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The useful life of these assets is reviewed annually to determine whether their indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If the events and circumstances do not continue to support the assessment, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate and on that date the asset is tested for impairment. Commencing from that date, the asset is amortized systematically over its useful life.

The useful life of intangible assets is as follows:

		Years

Brand name		10
Customer relations		8
Technology		5

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of non-financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable.

If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. In measuring value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

An impairment loss of an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Reversal of an impairment loss, as above, shall not be increased above the lower of the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years and its recoverable amount. The reversal of impairment loss of an asset presented at cost is recognized in profit or loss.

The following criteria are applied in assessing impairment of these specific assets:

Goodwill in respect of subsidiaries

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment once a year, on December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an impairment.

Goodwill is tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill has been allocated. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units). Any impairment loss is allocated first to goodwill. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.

Financial assets

Financial assets are measured upon initial recognition at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in respect of which transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss.

The Company classifies and measures debt instruments in the financial statements based on the following criteria:

(a)

The Company's business model for managing financial assets; and

(b)

The contractual cash flow terms of the financial asset

1a) Debt instruments are measured at amortized cost when:

The Company's business model is to hold the financial assets in order to collect their contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, the instruments in this category are measured according to their terms at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment.

On the date of initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a debt instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency, such as when a related financial liability is also measured at fair value through profit or loss.

1b) Debt instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss when:

A financial asset which is a debt instrument does not meet the criteria for measurement at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

After initial recognition, the financial asset is measured at fair value when gains or losses from fair value adjustments are recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company evaluates at the end of each reporting period the loss allowance for financial debt instruments which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Company distinguishes between two types of loss allowance:

(a)

Debt instruments whose credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, or whose credit risk is low - the loss allowance recognized in respect of this debt instrument is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses within 12 months from the reporting date (12-month ECLs), or;

(b)

Debt instruments whose credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, and whose credit risk is not low - the loss allowance recognized is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the instrument's remaining term (lifetime ECLs).

An impairment loss of debt instruments measured at amortized cost is carried to profit or loss against a provision.

The Company has short-term financial assets such as trade receivables in respect of which it is allowed to adopt the expedients prescribed in the model, namely, the Company will measure the loss allowance in an amount equal to the expected credit losses throughout the life of the instrument. The Company elected to apply the expedient in respect of these financial assets.

Derecognition of financial instruments

A financial asset is derecognized only when:

(a)

The contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset has expired, or

(b)

The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards deriving from the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset; or

(c)

The Company has retained its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset but has assumed a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows in full without material delay to a third party.

A transaction involving factoring of accounts receivable and credit card vouchers is derecognized when the abovementioned conditions are met.

If the Company transfers its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transfers control of the asset, a new asset is recognized to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement in the asset. When continuing involvement takes the form of guaranteeing the transferred asset, the extent of the continuing involvement is the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the Company could be required to repay (guarantee amount).

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss in respect of which transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, the Company measures all financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, except for:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss such as derivatives;

Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies;

Financial guarantee contracts;

Commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate;

Contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized only when it is extinguished, that is when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

A financial liability is extinguished when the debtor discharges the liability by paying in cash, other financial assets, goods or services; or is legally released from the liability.

When there is a modification in the terms of an existing financial liability, the Company evaluates whether the modification is substantial, taking into account qualitative and quantitative information.

If the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified or a liability is exchanged for another liability from the same lender with substantially different terms, the modification or exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amounts of the above liabilities is recognized in profit or loss.

If the modification in the terms of an existing liability is not substantial or if a liability is exchanged for another liability from the same lender whose terms are not substantially different, the Company recalculates the carrying amount of the liability by discounting the revised cash flows at the original effective interest rate and any resulting difference is recognized in profit or loss.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The right of set-off must be legally enforceable not only during the ordinary course of business of the parties to the contract but also in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of one of the parties. In order for the right of set-off to be currently available, it must not be contingent on a future event, there may not be periods during which the right is not available, or there may not be any events that will cause the right to expire.

Treasury shares

Company shares held by the Company are recognized at cost of purchase and presented as a deduction from equity. Any gain or loss arising from a purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of treasury shares is recognized directly in equity.

Provisions

A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects part or all of the expense to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense is recognized in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

Following are the types of provisions included in the financial statements:

Legal claims

A provision for claims is recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required by the Group to settle and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Employee benefit liabilities

The Group has several employee benefits plans:

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related services. These benefits include salaries, paid annual leave, paid sick leave, recreation and social security contributions and are recognized as expenses as the services are rendered. A liability in respect of a cash bonus or a profit-sharing plan is recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to make such payment as a result of past service rendered by an employee and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

Post-employment benefits

The plans are normally financed by contributions to insurance companies and classified as defined contribution plans or as defined benefit plans.

The Group has defined contribution plans pursuant to section 14 to the Severance Pay Law under which the Group pays fixed contributions and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient amounts to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to the defined contribution plan in respect of severance or retirement pay are recognized as an expense when contributed concurrently with performance of the employee's services.

The Group also operates a defined benefit plan in respect of severance pay pursuant to the Severance Pay Law. According to the Law, employees are entitled to severance pay upon dismissal or retirement. The liability for termination of employment is measured using the projected unit credit method. The actuarial assumptions include expected salary increases and rates of employee turnover based on the estimated timing of payment. The amounts are presented based on discounted expected future cash flows using a discount rate determined by reference to market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds that are linked to the Consumer Price Index with a term that is consistent with the estimated term of the severance pay obligation.

In respect of its severance pay obligation to certain of its employees, the Company makes current deposits in pension funds and insurance companies (hereinafter - "the plan assets"). The plan assets comprise assets held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the Group's own creditors and cannot be returned directly to the Group.

The liability for employee benefits shown in the statement of financial position reflects the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of the plan assets.

Remeasurements of the net liability are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.

Other long-term employee benefits

The Group's net obligation for other long-term employee benefits, which is computed based on actuarial assumptions, is for the future benefit due to the employees for service rendered in the current period and in prior periods and taking into account expected salary increases. The amount of these benefits is discounted to its present value. The discount rate is determined by reference at the reporting date to market yields on government bonds whose currency and expiration date are consistent with the terms of the Group's obligation.

Remeasurements of the net liability are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

Share-based payment transactions

Equity-settled transactions

Some of the Company's employees are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at grant date. The fair value is determined using an acceptable option pricing model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in profit or loss together with a corresponding increase in equity during the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are to be satisfied and ending on the date on which the relevant employees become entitled to the award (hereinafter - "the vesting period"). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other vesting conditions (service and/or performance) are satisfied.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Potential Ordinary shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when their conversion decreases earnings per share from continuing operations. Potential Ordinary shares that are converted during the period are included in diluted earnings per share only until the conversion date and from that date in basic earnings per share. The Company's share of earnings of investees is included based on its share of earnings per share of the investees multiplied by the number of shares held by the Company.

Expenses in respect of warranty

The Group provides manufacturer warranty for its products provided that the products are used in accordance with the Company's instructions. Payments received for granting warranty services are in immaterial amounts and therefore the Company does not recognize a provision for warranty. Costs of providing product repair and/or replacement services included in the warranty, if any, are recognized in the statement of profit or loss when the services are provided or the products are actually replaced.

Finance income and expenses

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, gains from hedging instruments recognized in profit or loss and exchange rate gains. Interest income is recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on loans received, expenses for linkage on loans received, losses on hedging instruments recognized in profit or loss, losses from exchange rate differences, and impairment losses on financial assets except for trade receivables (presented as general and administrative expenses). Borrowing costs which are not capitalized to qualifying assets, are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses from exchange rate differences on financial assets and liabilities are reported net as finance income or as finance expenses, depending on exchange rate fluctuations.

Interest received is presented in the statements of cash flows under cash flows from investing activities.

Interest paid is presented in the statements of cash flows under cash flows for financing activities.

Disclosure of new IFRS standards in the period prior to their adoption

Annual Improvements to IFRS standards 2018-2020 cycle

In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to the following standards in the context of the Annual Improvements to IFRS 2018-2020 Cycle. The main amendment which refers to IFRS 9 is as follows:

The amendment to IFRS 9 clarifies which fees an entity must include when it applies the “10% test” described in paragraph B3.3.6 of IFRS 9 when assessing whether the terms of a debt instrument that has been modified or exchanged are substantially different from the terms of the original debt instrument.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2022 or after. An early adoption is permitted. The amendment is to be applied to debt instrument that are modified or exchanged commencing from the year in which the amendment is first applied.

Amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

In January 2020 the IASB published the amendment to IAS 1 regarding the classification of liabilities as current or non-current (hereinafter – “the amendment”).

The amendment clarifies the following issues:

What is the meaning of an unconditional right to defer the settlement;

The right to defer must exist by the end of the reporting date;

Classification is not affected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its right to defer the settlement;

Only if a derivative is embedded in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument, the terms of a liability would not affect its classification.

The amendment will be applied retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023 or after. Early application is permitted.

The Company is currently examining the effect of the amendment on its current loan agreements.

Amendment to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

In October 2018, the IASB issued an amendment to the definition of a "business" in IFRS 3, "Business Combinations" ("the Amendment").

The Amendment clarifies that in order to meet the definition of a "business", an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The Amendment also clarifies that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes necessary to create outputs. The Amendment includes an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business, with no need for other assessments.

The Amendment is to be applied to business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2020.

The initial application of the Amendment did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements but it may have an effect on the assessment of the definition of a "business" for acquisitions completed after January 1, 2020.

Amendments to IAS 8, "Changes in accounting policies and corrections of error"

On 12 February 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB or the Board) issued amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors, in which it introduces a new definition of ‘Accounting estimates’. The amendments are designed to clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors.

The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted.

NOTE 3: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the process of applying the significant accounting policies, the Group has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

Estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the application of the accounting policies and on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in accounting estimates are reported in the period of the change in estimate.

The key assumptions made in the financial statements concerning uncertainties at the reporting date and the critical estimates computed by the Group that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

Impairment of goodwill

The Group reviews goodwill for impairment at least once a year. This requires management to make an estimate of the projected future cash flows from the continuing use of the cash-generating unit (or a group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill is allocated and also to choose a suitable discount rate for those cash flows.

Provision for impairment of inventories

Inventories are calculated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale as known as of the date of the financial statements. Provisions for impairment of inventory are recognized while taking into account the Group's expectation of full realization of inventories in the coming years.

Capital management - objectives, procedures and processes

The management's policy is to maintain a strong capital base in order to improve the Company's ability to continue its operations and generate profits for its shareholders, other stakeholders' benefits such as credit providers and employees, and to support future business development. The Board monitors the return on capital that the Company defines as net operating income divided by total share capital. The Board also monitors the amounts of dividends distributed to shareholders. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to external capital requirements as described in Note 12c.

The management strives to maintain a balance between high yields, possible to achieve by maintaining high debt levels, to the existing security and benefits in a strong capital base.

Below is the Group's debt to equity ratio:

	As of December 31, 2020
	US dollars in thousands

Total liabilities		157,864
Less - cash and cash equivalents		17,138

Net debt		140,726

NOTE 4: - OPERATING SEGMENTS

General

The Group has three reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group's strategic business units.

The strategic business units offer different products and services and are managed separately for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluation of performance. For each of the strategic business units, the Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews the internal management reports.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in Note 2 regarding significant accounting policies.

The reportable segments are presented in the financial statements as follows:

•

Process industry products - development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of fittings, faucets and valves for industrial control, monitoring and transmission systems as well as development, designing and manufacturing systems and integration of sensors and IIOT systems in these products to customers in this operating segment.

•

Ultra-clean products – development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of fittings, faucets and valves for ultra clean gas transportation systems in the microelectronic industry and additional ultra-clean industries as well as development, designing and manufacturing systems and integration of sensors and IIOT systems in these products to customers in this operating segment.

•

Flow control products - development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of process valves, control valves and fittings for the transportation of liquids and gases, as well as development, designing and manufacturing of systems and integration of IIOT systems in these products to customers in this operating segment.

Segment income is measured based on operating income as included in reports that are regularly reviewed by the CODM. This information is used to measure segment results as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results. Segment results reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment on a reasonable basis.

Impairment testing for a cash-generating unit containing goodwill

The Company's books include goodwill totaling US 2,109 thousand dollars arising from the acquisition of the Dutch subsidiary in 2010. The impairment testing was determined by discounting the future cash flows that will derive from the continuing use of the cash-generating unit with the help of an independent valuation expert according to which no impairment was recognized. The value of the cash-generating unit according to the calculation was estimated at € 6,920 thousand (US 8,489 thousand dollars). This value exceeds the net carrying amount attributable to the unit which is € 5,453 thousand (approximately US 6,690 thousand dollars).

The valuation was based on the following assumptions:

Estimated cash flows based on actual operating results in 2020, the budget for 2021 and the Group's plans for future years (2025 as the representative year).

The Company's revenues as included in the projected cash flows were estimated based on the Company's budget for 2021 based on the order backlog and steps taken by the Company, adjusted by the valuation expert to the economic conditions in the Company's operating environment and a growth rate of 14% and 13% for 2021 and 2022, respectively. In the representative year, a fixed growth rate of 2% was determined based on the management's estimate.

A pre-tax discount rate of 17% was used in calculating the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit. The estimated discount rate was based on the estimated risk inherent in the cash-generating unit's operation.

The gross profit margin in the representative year is 25%.

The Company's books include goodwill totaling US 2,798 thousand dollars arising from the acquisition of the Chinese subsidiary in 2016. The impairment testing was determined by discounting the future cash flows that will derive from the continuing use of the cash-generating unit with the help of an independent valuation expert according to which no impairment was recognized. The value of the cash-generating unit as per said calculation was estimated at RMB 112,426 thousand (US 17,191 thousand dollars). This value exceeds the net book value attributable to the unit which is RMB 41,555 thousand (US 6,354 thousand dollars).

The valuation was based on the following assumptions:

Estimated cash flows based on actual operating results in 2020, the budget for 2020 and the Group's plans for future years (2026 as the representative year).

The Company's revenues as included in the projected cash flows were estimated based on the Company's budget for 2021 based on the order backlog and steps taken by the Company, adjusted by the valuation expert to the economic conditions in the Company's operating environment and a growth rate for of 58% and 25% for the years of 2021 and 2022, respectively. In the representative year, a fixed growth rate of 3% was determined based on the management's estimate.

A pre-tax discount rate of about 15% was used in calculating the recoverable amount of the unit. The estimated discount rate was based on the estimated risk inherent in the cash-generating unit's operation.

The gross profit margin in the representative year is 39%.

NOTE 13: - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT LIABILITIES

Employee benefits consist of short-term benefits and post-employment benefits.

Post-employment benefits

According to the labor laws and Severance Pay Law in Israel, the Company is required to pay compensation to an employee upon dismissal or retirement or to make current contributions in defined contribution plans pursuant to section 14 to the Severance Pay Law, as specified below. The Company's liability is accounted for as a post-employment benefit. The computation of the Company's employee benefit liability is made according to the current employment contract based on the employee's salary and employment term which establish the entitlement to receive the compensation.

The post-employment employee benefits are normally financed by contributions classified as defined benefit plan or as defined contribution plan, as detailed below.

Defined contribution plans

Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law, 1963 applies to part of the compensation payments, pursuant to which the fixed contributions paid by the Group into pension funds and/or policies of insurance companies release the Group from any additional liability to employees for whom said contributions were made. These contributions and contributions for benefits represent defined contribution plans.

Share-based payments

On November 26, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors decided to adopt an option plan for Company’s CEO. On January 30, 2020, the allocation of the options was carried out.

The plan consists of the following:

Allotment of 100,000 (non-tradable) options that are exercisable for up to 100,000 shares in three equal annual portions of 33,333 options each as detailed as follows.

The vesting periods of the options shall be as follows: the first portion will be exercisable as of the end of one year from the date of the actual allotment; The second portion of the options will be exercisable as of the end of two years from the date of the actual allotment; and the third portion of the options will be exercisable as of the end of three years from the date of the actual allotment. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, at the end of employment of the option holder by the Company for any reason, the options that would have vested by that date had the vesting period been on a quarterly basis will vest.

The exercise period of each portion is two years commencing on the vesting date of the relevant portion. If the officer terminates his service in the Company, he may exercise the options that have not been exercised yet and are exercisable within 90 days. In the event of change of control, the Company's Board, may decide on partial acceleration.

The exercise price of each option is NIS 67.61. However, the exercise price will not be paid to the Company but will be used only to determine the bonus component resulting from the options exercised and the number of shares derived from it. The difference between the opening price of the Company's share on the stock exchange on the exercise date and the exercise price will be calculated on the exercise date. This difference multiplied by the number of exercised options will be referred to hereinafter as "the bonus". The Company will allocate to the employee who exercises his options, shares that represent the results of dividing the bonus by the opening price of the Company's shares on the stock exchange on the exercise date. Fractions will be rounded up to the nearest number. The employee will only pay the par value of the shares for the allotment.

In addition, the options are subject to several adjustments in the event of dividend distribution, distribution of bonus shares and rights issues.

The fair value of the options allotted on that date was determined according to the "Black & Scholes" model, amounting to US 505 thousand dollars. This value was calculated based on the following parameters: 1) share price of NIS 67; 2) expected volatility (weighted average) of 32.34%-34.37%; 3) risk-free interest rate of 0.26%-0.48%; 4) the expected life of the options (weighted average expected life) of 4 years. The fair value was also calculated assuming that the options will only be exercised shortly before they expire.

On May 26, 2020, the Company's Board decided to carry out an allotment of 50,000 (non-tradable) options to 7 employees and officers of the Company and the subsidiaries. On June 30, 2020, the allotment was executed.

The plan consists of the following:

Allotment of 50,000 (non-tradable) options that are exercisable for up to 50,000 shares in three equal annual portions of 16,666 options each as detailed as follows.

The exercise price of each option is NIS 56.81. However, the exercise price will not be paid to the Company but will be used only to determine the bonus component resulting from the options exercised and the number of shares derived from it. The difference between the opening price of the Company's share on the stock exchange on the exercise date and the exercise price will be calculated on the exercise date. This difference multiplied by the number of exercised options will be referred to hereinafter as "the bonus". The Company will allocate to the employee who exercises his options, shares that represent the results of dividing the bonus by the opening price of the Company's shares on the stock exchange on the exercise date. Fractions will be rounded up to the nearest number. The employee will only pay the par value of the shares for the allotment.

In addition, the options are subject to several adjustments in the event of dividend distribution, distribution of bonus shares and rights issues.

The fair value of the options allotted on that date was determined according to the "Black & Scholes" model, amounting to US 274 thousand dollars. This value was calculated based on the following parameters: 1) share price of NIS 57.70; 2) expected volatility (weighted average) of 40.13%-44.37%; 3) risk-free interest rate of 0.23%-0.41%; 4) the expected life of the options (weighted average expected life) of 4 years. The fair value was also calculated assuming that the options will only be exercised shortly before they expire.

Treasury shares

The reserve for treasury shares comprises the cost of the Company's shares held by the Group.

NOTE 24: - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview

The Group is exposed to the following risks related to its use of financial instruments:

•

Credit risk

•

Liquidity risk

•

Market risk (including currency and interest risks)

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, and the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

Risk management framework

The Board has an overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Board has authorized the Company's management to be responsible for developing and monitoring the Group's risk management policies. The Company's management reports periodically to the Board on its activities.

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. Through its policy assimilation and training programs, the Group aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group's Audit Committee oversees how the management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group's Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and it arises mainly from the Group's trade receivables and other receivables.

Trade and other accounts receivables

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Group's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk, since the Company insures most of the credit it grants to its customers.

The Group has a procedure for defining the credit limit of a customer on the date of opening the customer ID in the system. In addition, the Group requests foreign trade risks insurance for transactions with certain customers. The risk insurance company defines the possible amount of debt of the customer and provides the Company with information regarding the financial ability of the customer. The Group regularly examines the balances of its customers around the world.

The Group recognizes an impairment provision that reflects its assessment of the losses incurred in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this provision are specific loss components relating to individually significant exposures.

Guarantees

The Group's policy is to provide financial guarantees to subsidiaries based on the specific circumstances.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The Group verifies that there is enough cash on hand for the payment of current operating expenses including the amounts required in order to meet its financial liabilities. This does not consider the potential effect of extreme scenarios that cannot be reasonably forecasted, such as natural disasters.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, the CPI and interest rates will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters.

In the ordinary course of business, the Group occasionally buys and sells derivatives, and incurs financial liabilities, to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set forth by the Group's management.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, services and loans that are denominated in various currencies, other than the Dollar, and in the various functional currencies of the Group entities. The currencies in which the sale transactions are primarily denominated are USD, NIS, GBP, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Korean Won and Euro.

The Company has significant production costs denominated in NIS. Changes in the US Dollar-NIS exchange rate have a material effect on the Group's operating results.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

Regarding material transactions the Company's policy is to hedge the risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates by means of forward transactions and foreign currency options.

Interest rate risk

The Group adopts from time to time a policy of ensuring its exposure to changes in interest rates on loans based on a fixed rate of interest. This is achieved by entering interest rate swaps.

Foreign currency risks

Sensitivity analysis

A strengthening of the USD against the following currencies in respect of existing balance sheet exposure as of December 31, 2020 would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below excluding the tax effect. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

	As of December 31, 2020
	Equity	Profit (loss)
	US dollars in thousands
Increase in the exchange rate of:
Japanese Yen - 5%	(63)	(63	)
Euro - 5%	271	271
NIS - 5%	1,089	1,089
GBP – 5%	14	14
RMB – 5%	(255)	(255	)
KRW – 5%	382	382
SGD – 5%	(155)	(155	)

A weakening of the USD against the above currencies at the same rates as of December 31 would have had an equal but opposite effect, on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Details of the Group's derivative financial instruments are as follows:

As of December 31, 2020, the Group has no derivative financial instruments.

Presented hereunder is information on the exchange rates of the NIS, GBP, the Euro and the Korean Won in relation to the US dollar in the reporting periods:

	Exchange rate of	Exchange rate of	Exchange rate of	Exchange rate of
As of December 31:	1 NIS	1 GBP	1 Euro	1000 KRW

Interest rate risk

Interest profile

Following is the interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing financial instruments:

	As of December 31, 2020
	Book value
	US dollars in thousands
Fixed rate instruments:
Financial liabilities	39,975
	(39,975	)

Variable rate instruments:
Financial liabilities	32,678
	(32,678	)

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss in respect of changes in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities bearing fixed interest.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 5% in the base interest rate at the reporting date would have an insignificant effect on equity and profit or loss.

Fair value versus carrying amount

The carrying amount of certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other accounts receivables, deposits, derivatives, short-term loans and credit, trade payables, other trade payables and long-term loans from banks equals or approximates their fair value.

Fair value (other than derivatives) is determined as the present value of future cash flows discounted by the market interest rate on the date of measurement.

Details regarding fair value measurement of Level 2 financial instruments

Forward contracts - fair value is measured based on discounting the difference between the forward price in the contract and the current forward price for the residual period until redemption using market interest rates appropriate for similar instruments, including the adjustment required for the parties' credit risks.

Foreign currency options – the fair value is measured based on the Black & Scholes model.

NOTE 26: - COMMITMENTS

On August 9, 2017, the Company and Jiangsu Xinghe Valve Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in China (hereinafter: "the Chinese subsidiary"), signed an agreement with the authorities in the Yangzhong district for the allocation of new land and the construction of a new plant in China to replace the current plant (hereinafter: "the agreement", "the Chinese authorities" and "the new plant", respectively).

Among others, the agreement consists of the following provisions and conditions:

In return for the evacuation of the current plant, whose depreciated cost in the consolidated financial statements as of the date of signing the agreement was RMB 29 million (US 4 million dollars), the Chinese subsidiary will receive from the Chinese authorities alternative land and monetary compensation in the amount of RMB 61.28 million (US 9 million dollars) (hereinafter: "the monetary compensation") which will be paid in three payments as follows: (a) 40% of the monetary compensation will be received several days after signing the agreement; (b) 40% of the monetary compensation will be received once the construction of the new plant commences and an investment of US 3 million dollars is made by the Chinese subsidiary; (c) 20% of the monetary compensation will be received after the construction of the new plant has ended and another investment of US 3 million dollars is made by the Chinese subsidiary. The monetary compensation includes an amount of RMB 19.36 million for the potential impairment of the current plant's operations because of the road expansion work. The compensation will be recorded in profit and loss over the expected construction period of the new plant.

The total investment which the Chinese subsidiary has undertaken to make in the construction of the new plant and in machinery, equipment and added semiconductor production facilities will not be lower than RMB 100 million (US 15 million dollars). The Company intends to use the monetary compensation received from the Chinese authorities to finance the above investment.

According to the agreement, the Chinese authorities are responsible for supplying power, water and communication facilities and for leveling out the site on which the new plant will be located. The Chinese authorities have also undertaken to grant the Chinese subsidiary additional economic incentives (such as tax abatements and refunds) and the Chinese subsidiary has undertaken to pay direct and indirect taxes of at least RMB 7.5 million (US 1 million dollars) per annum.

In addition to the above agreement, the Chinese subsidiary has signed an agreement with Xinghe Group Co., Ltd. for receiving various services consisting of brokerage, negotiating, managing the new plant construction project and providing administrative support all in return for a fee of approximately RMB 13.6 million (US 2 million dollars) that will be paid based on certain milestones as stated in the agreement over the period of the new plant construction.

In September 2017, the first installment of the monetary compensation in the amount of RMB 24.5 million (US 3.6 million dollars) was received and the office building was evacuated to allow the expansion of the road. In respect of the first installment as above, a net capital gain was recorded (less transaction costs) in the sum of US 0.9 million dollars. In addition, the legal claim of the alternative area was received and the development work for the construction of the new plant began.

According to the original terms of the agreement, during the second quarter of 2019, the completion of the evacuation of the current plant should have been completed following the completion of the construction of the new plant and the transfer of ownership to the area of the current plant to the Chinese authorities. It was expected that the Chinese subsidiary would recognize the remaining capital gain once the ownership to the area of the current plant was transferred to the Chinese authorities.

In December 2018, there was a change in the terms of the agreement in such a way that the Chinese subsidiary transferred ownership to the remaining area of the current plant to the Chinese authorities and, at the same time, assumed ownership to the new land. Because of this change, a capital gain of US 1.2 million dollars was recorded.

During the reporting year, the second installment of the monetary compensation in the amount of RMB 24 million (US 3.3 million dollars) was received.

As of the financial statements approval date, the construction of the new plant has been completed.

On August 9, 2017, the Company was notified by the Israel National Authority for Technological Innovation (hereinafter: "the IIA") that one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, H.T.C Ltd., won a bid by virtue of incentive track no. 29 - lab program for technological innovation (pilot) (hereinafter: "the incentive track"). According to the letter of approval, the franchise period is three years from November 1, 2017. During the reporting period the franchise period was extended till April 2021. According to the incentive track, the innovation lab is entitled to a grant from the IIA depending on the number of lab companies that will be incorporated into the innovation lab during the franchise period. As of the reporting period, H.T.C Ltd. signed agreements with six startups, as approved by the IIA, for incorporating them into the Company's innovation lab.

On December 16, 2020, the Company engaged with UCT, an international public company whose securities are listed for trading on Nasdaq, and with Sir Daibus Ltd., an Israeli company wholly owned (indirectly) by UCT (hereinafter jointly with UCT: the "purchaser") and with Bealish Ltd., an Israeli company wholly owned by the purchaser (the “target company"), in an agreement to purchase the entire shares of the Company by way of a reverse triangular merger (the "merger" or the "merger transaction").

Upon the completion of the merger, the Company will become a wholly owned private company of the purchaser, its shares will be deleted from trading on the stock exchange and the Company will cease to be a "reporting corporation" within the definition of this term in Section 36 of the Securities Law, 1968.

Immaterial transactions procedure

On March 22, 2020, according to the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Company's Board reaffirmed the guidelines and rules for classifying a transaction of the Company or its subsidiary with an interested party ("interested party transaction") as an immaterial transaction as provided in Regulation 41(a)(6)(a) of the Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010 as follows.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries execute transactions with interested parties (including a controlling shareholder), including transactions of the following types and having the following characteristics: transactions for the acquisition of services from interested parties; transactions for the acquisition and/or lease and/or sale of products from/to interested parties.

The Company's Board decided that in the absence of any special qualitative considerations arising from the overall circumstances of the matter (see paragraph e 4 below), an interested party transaction will be considered immaterial if the relevant criterion calculated for the transaction (one or more, as described hereunder) is less than half a percent (0.5%) or a maximum amount of US 0.5 million dollars, whichever is lower.

For every interested party transaction that is being examined for immateriality, one or more of the ratios relevant to the specific transaction will be calculated on the basis of the most recent financial statements of the Company: (a) sales ratio - the amount of the sales in the interested party transaction divided by the annual amount of sales; (b) cost of sales ratio - the cost of the interested party transaction divided by the annual cost of sales; (c) profit ratio - the actual or forecasted profit or loss from the interested party transaction divided by the average annual profit or loss in the last three years, calculated on the basis of the last 12 quarters for which reviewed or audited financial statements have been issued; (d) assets ratio - the amount of the assets in the interested party transaction divided

by total assets; (e) liabilities ratio - the amount of the liabilities in the interested party transaction divided by total liabilities; (f) operating expenses ratio - the amount of the expense in the interested party transaction divided by the amount of the annual operating expenses.

Thus, for example, the relevant ratio for the purchase of goods or services will usually be the costs of sales ratio. In cases that according to the Company's judgment all the aforementioned quantitative ratios are irrelevant to the immateriality examination of the interested party transaction, the transaction will be considered immaterial based on some other relevant ratio to be determined by the Company, provided that the relevant ratio calculated for the transaction is less than half a percent (0.5%) or a maximum amount of US 0.5 million dollars, whichever is lower.

The qualitative examination of an interested party transaction may result in the contradiction of the presumption regarding immateriality of the transaction as mentioned in paragraph 3 above. Thus, for example, an interested party transaction shall not be considered immaterial if the event is perceived by the management of the Company as being a significant event and is a basis for making managerial decisions, or if in the framework of the interested party transaction interested parties are expected to receive benefits that it is important they be brought to the attention of the public.

Each year the Company's Audit Committee will review the manner of implementing the instructions of this procedure by the Company and its implementation.

NOTE 29: - EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

In continuation to the aforesaid in Note 26(c), as of March 31, 2021 all the conditions precedent for the completion of the merger transaction (as defined as follows) were met. Upon the completion of the merger, the Company became a private company wholly owned by the purchaser, its shares were deleted from trading on the stock exchange and the Company’s shares held by it (treasury shares) were cancelled. Options that have matured and have not matured yet, have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment. Due to the cancellation of the options, the entire balance of expenses in respect of the granting of the aforementioned options was recorded in the Company’s 2021 first quarter reports.

In the framework of the merger agreement:

a. A one-time grant in the sum of US 780 thousand dollars was approved to the Company’s CEO.

b. A retention plan was approved for the CEO as detailed as follows:

1. Once a year has passed from the date of completion of the transaction and provided that he does not resign by that date, except in the event of resignation for a "good reason" (as defined in the retention plan), the CEO will receive a grant that is equivalent to 12 salaries.

2. Upon the termination of his employment with the Company, and provided that he does not resign by the end of one year as of the date of completion, except in the event of resignation for a "good reason", the CEO will be entitled to an adjustment grant that is equivalent to 6 salaries.

The total benefits in accordance with the retention plan are in the amount of US 720 thousand dollars.

The Company recorded in 2021 first quarter reports expenses in the amount of US$ 4.5 million related to the merger transaction as part of other expenses that mainly include legal expenses, bonuses for the CEO and officers and other consulting expenses.

On the date of completion of the transaction, the Group received a loan from UCT in the amount of US 90 million dollars, which as of the financial statements approval date, the terms thereof have yet to be set. The loan received was used for early repayment of most of the Group's liabilities to the banking corporations for which the Group paid a total sum of US$ 2.4 million in early repayment fee which is included in 2021 first quarter finance expenses.

In continuation to the signing of the merger agreement with UCT and following the Company's notification to the tax authority, the Company will compute its taxable income in accordance with the provisions of the Dollar Regulations (Rules for Accounting for Foreign Investors Companies and Certain Partnerships and Setting their Taxable Income), 1986), as of 2021 onwards.

On December 31, 2019, an application for the merger of the Company with the H.T.C. (fully owned subsidiary in Israel) was submitted to the tax authority. On May 20, 2021, a merger agreement was signed between the companies, according to which the date of completion of the merger will be valid from December 31, 2019 for tax purposes, subject to meeting the conditions precedent specified in the agreement, including receiving an approval of a tax-exempt merger by the tax authorities. As of the financial statements approval date, all the conditions precedent have not been met yet.

On April 2021, Mr. Widmann, the company’s CEO, received an offer letter from UCT providing that his salary shall be updated to $400,000 per year. Mr. Widmann is also eligible to participate in a management bonus plan, which includes an initial target payout of 50% of his base salary on an annualized basis after one full quarter of employment. In addition Mr. Widmann received restricted stock units of the Company valued at $750,000, which will vest over three years in three instalments of 10% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 70% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 20% on the third anniversary of the grant date, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in UCT’s standard form of restricted stock unit agreement and stock incentive plan.
