CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Up to October 1999 subject and a local company named BADNER were the sole suppliers of army boots to the Israeli Army. As of 1999 the Israeli Army, as part of a strategic decision to cut costs, decided to purchase 50% of its army boots from manufacturers in the USA. Following that subject suffered a sharp decrease in its incoming orders.

 

As a result, there were reports at the time about financial difficulties of subject, which had to retrench half of its employees and to close its Kiryat Shmona plant.

 

Subject is a veteran business, well known in its field.

 

In the past we received positive opinion on subject payment morality from a supplier.

 

Subject is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

 

Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha was established in 1925.

 

In 1953, the Kibbutz was split into 2 Kibbutzim: Givat Hashlosha and Einat.

 

There are 490 residences (members and non members) in Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha. The Kibbutz has agricultural land on an area of over 1 million sq. meters. It is also involved in real-estate activities.

 

Kibbutz Einat was established in 1952, and has some 150 members. The Kibbutz has revenues from leasing real estate properties to 3rd party companies in the kibbutz area, that on top of its traditional agricultural activities, cultivating some 6.5 million sq. meters of agricultural land (corn, peanuts, wheat and melons).

 

The local footwear market rolls an annual turnover of around NIS 3.5 billion according to sources in the branch, mostly from import, with 33 million pairs of shoes sold each year over some 1,500 footwear stores. Annual consumption per capita is 4-5 pairs of shoes.

 

The share of local production has fallen from 56% in 1998 to 15% in 2008 (by some 30 factories, mostly small workshops (were over 200 in 1998).

 

According to the Chairman of the Footwear Branch in the Industrialists Association, sales of footwear in 2009 by the local industry reached NIS 618 million, representing 20% decrease from 2008. Exports of the Branch reached US$ 42.1 million in 2007, a 6% withdraw comparing to 2008.

 

Import of footwear originated from Asian countries keeps rising. That trend has brought the local shoe industry to a nearly shut-down.

 

Import of Clothing and Footwear in 2009 summed up to US$ 1,267 million, comparing to US$ 1,402 million in 2008 (9.6% decrease) and US$ 1,188 million in 2007. Import of footwear alone fell by 7% in 2009, reaching US$ 304.5 million. Most import comes from China (US$ 126 million in 2009), while import from Italy summed up to US$ 26 million.

 

The decrease in 2009 reflects the slow-down trend in the local economy during 2009, mainly in the first half of the year. The trend reversed in 2010 and import of Clothing and Footwear rose 12% in 2010 1st half comparing to the parallel period in 2009, reaching US$ 674.6 million.
