CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

From the financial aspect, in their 2003 annual reports subject stated that following collection problems (mainly a major problematic client in Nigeria), it had to exceed its credit lines. In April 2004, subject reported it signed a new agreement with its banks for a new credit line (extended in 2005), and subject begun to implement its re-organization plan.

 

Since 2006 subject’s financial standing improved.

 

Despite our efforts, we were unable to speak with subject's officials, as they were always unavailable. We left messages which so far remain unanswered.

 

ALUMAYER Group went through a massive re-organization plan. In addition, in March 2009 investments funds EUROTRADE and EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD invested in the Group.

 

Subject is veteran and considered one of the leading companies in their field in Israel.

 

Subject is ISO 9002 certified.

 

In March 2006, subject’s U.K subsidiary, ALU CLASS, decided to cease all activities and to be voluntarily liquidated.

 

In April 2009 subject's subsidiary ALUMAYER INDIA PVT, established fully owned ALUMAYER SYSTEMS PVT, whose activities began in July 2009.

 

EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD PRIVATE EQUITY MANAGEMENT (EdRPE) the private equity arm in Israel of the prestigious LCF Rothschild Group. The Group is one of Europe's leading private investment houses and has in excess of €100 billion under management.

 

According to estimations in the Aluminum branch, total of annual manufacturing in the aluminum for construction and industry in Israel in 2010 summed at 40,000 tons, in money value of NIS 1 billion.

 

In Israel and Palestinian Authority teritorries there are known to be 6 aluminum profile manufacturers. In addition, there is import from China, Jordan and other countries.

 

According to data by of the Metal, Electrical and Infrastructure Industries Association, representing the local Metal and Electricity Industries, which includes large scale export-oriented industries on one hand and family-owned plants which sell to the local market: 2010 sales (local and export) by the said industries amounted to NIS 70 billion, comprising 25% of Israel's industrial output. Results are similar to 2008 scales, after some 20% drop in 2009 due to the significant slow-down in the local economy, affected by the global financial and economic crisis. Sales for export reached US$ 10 billion in 2010.

Some 90,000 employees serve the said industries (26% of Israel's industrial workforce).

 

Export of products of Basic Metals by the local industry rose in the first 8 months of 2011 by 14% from the parallel period in 2010, reaching US$1,766.7 million, continuing the growth trend in 2010 when it rose by 39.2% from 2009, reaching US$ 2,378.3 million. Export of Machinery & Equipment also marked 23% increase in 2011 first 8 month comparing to 2010 (value of US$2,014.6 million), after 8% increase in 2010 from 2009, with sales for export of US$ 2,515.5 million.

 

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), import of metals raw materials to the local industries in 2010 and 2011 first 8 months showed an increasing trend, after a contraction in 2009 in view of the local and global slow-down in economy. Import of raw materials divided as follows: Iron and Steel - rise by 33.6% in 2010 (US$ 1,802.7 million, after 38% decrease in 2009 from 2008) and by 38% in 2011 first 8 months, reaching US$ 1,620 million; Precious Metals - up 22.5% (US$ 143.9 million, after 35.3% decrease in 2009) and by 13.5% in 2011 reaching US$ 106 million; Non-ferrous Metals - 40.7% rise (US$ 822.2 million, after 44.3% decrease in 2009 from 2008) and by 34% in 2011 first 8 months reaching US$ 693 million.

 

The general improvement in local economy in 2010 was felt in the building sector. Investment in the local building branch rose by 5.9% in 2010. Investment in construction for dwelling rose by 4.1% in 2009 and by 13.8% in 2010, in annual calculation. These positive signs appear after over the last several years gross domestic investment in building and other construction works was stagnant (after rising trends in 2006 and 2007). While in 2009 investments indicators were still mixed, reflecting the general slow-down in 2009 1st half, indicators in 2010 pointed on recovery in the building and real estate market activity. Gross domestic investment in building and other construction works increased in 2009 by less than 1% from 2008, and grew by some 10% in 2010 (in current prices), mainly in private construction (less in public construction and in other construction).

 

Consumption expenditure of households in 2010 on Housing and on Housing Equipment grew by 2.5% and by 7.5%, respectively, in annual calculation.

 

Volume of building starts for dwelling in 2010 reached a decade record of 39,000 new apartments, 7% higher than 2009 (which marked 6.5% rise from 2008 and similar level to previous year). However, building finishing ended similar to 2009 (expected to rise in 2011). The total number of transactions in dwellings in 2010 also rose from 2009, continuing the growing trend from 2008, albeit in lower ratio (less than 1% rise in 2010). In the first half of 2011, number of building starts rose by 15% from 2010, thanks to the Government marketing efforts, however prospects for the 2nd half of 2011 are to a reverse in trend.
