        the purchase price for the acquisition included approximately us9.9 million that was paid to the shareholders of mapa and an additional sum of approximately us3.1 million that was transferred to mapa, which was used to repay mapa’s loans to its shareholders.
                                                                
        the acquisition was accounted for according to the purchase method of accounting in accordance with prior business combination gaap (fas 141, business combinations), and accordingly, the respective purchase price (which included direct acquisition costs) was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition (see appendix a to the cash flow statement).

        the functional currency of the company and its subsidiaries located in israel is the new israeli shekel (“nis”), which is the local currency in which those entities operate. the functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries of the group is their respective local currency.
                                                                
        the consolidated financial statements of the company and all of its subsidiaries were translated into u.s. dollars in accordance with the standards of the financial accounting standards board ("fasb"). accordingly, assets and liabilities were translated from local currencies to u.s. dollars using yearend exchange rates, and income and expense items were translated at average exchange rates during the year.
                                                                
        gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments (which result from translating an entity’s financial statements into u.s. dollars if its functional currency is different than the u.s. dollar) are reflected in equity, under “accumulated other comprehensive income”.
                                                                
        balances denominated in, or linked to foreign currency are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. for foreign currency transactions included in the statement of income, the exchange rates applicable on the relevant transaction dates are used. transaction gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such balances are carried to financing income or expenses.

        the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the united states (“us gaap”).
                                                                
        4.
                                                                
        the preparation of financial statements in conformity with us gaap requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. actual results could differ from those estimates.
                                                                
        the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and all of its subsidiaries. in these financial statements, the term “subsidiary” refers to a company over which the company exerts control (ownership interest of more than 50%), and the financial statements of which are consolidated with those of the company. significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated upon consolidation; profits from intercompany sales, not yet realized outside of the group, were also eliminated. non-controlling interests are presented in equity.
                                                                
        the group considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and short-term debentures, with original periods to maturity not exceeding three months, to be cash equivalents.

        company shares held by the company and its subsidiary are presented as a reduction of equity, at their cost to the company or to the subsidiary, under the caption “treasury stock”. gains on sale of these shares, net of related income taxes, are recorded as additional paid in capital.
                                                                
        losses on the sale of such shares, net of related income taxes, are recorded as deductions from additional paid in capital to the extent that previous net gains from sales are included therein, otherwise in retained earnings.

        the allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to amounts the group has determined to be doubtful of collection. in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the company considers, among other things, its past experience with customers and the information available on such customers. see also note 20a.

        investments in companies in which the group has significant influence (ownership interest of between 20% and 50%) but less than a controlling interest, which are not subsidiaries (“affiliated companies”), are accounted for by the equity method. income on intercompany sales, not yet realized outside of the group, was eliminated.
                                                                
        investments in such companies in which the company no longer has significant influence, are classified as "investments in other companies". see j, below.

        the company carries out transactions involving foreign exchange derivative financial instruments (mainly forward exchange contracts) which are designed to hedge the cash flows expected to be paid with respect to forecasted purchases of inventory, denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the company. such transactions were designated as hedging instruments on the date that the company entered into such derivative contracts, and qualify as cash flow hedges under asc topic 815.
