Developments in financial data

As for explanations for the Company's operating results, assets and changes in revenues, gross profit and operating income in 2017 and 2018 according to operating segments, see the Board of Directors' Report in Chapter B below.

2.2 The economic environment and the effect of external factors on the Group's operations

Following is a description of the factors in the Group's macroeconomic environment which are liable to affect its operations:

2.2.1 General overview

According to data published by the Bank of Israel and other macroeconomic expert sources, 2018 was characterized by a growth rate of about 3.6% as opposed to about 3.1% and 3.8% in 2017 and 2016, respectively. Local macroeconomic sources predict continued growth rates in the Israeli market in 2019 of about 3.5%.

2.2.2 The political-security situation

The majority of the Group's points of sale are located in shopping malls and commercial centers. The security situation in Israel is liable to affect the activity of shoppers in points of sale during times of battle or ongoing terrorist attacks. The political-security situation in Israel is liable to adversely affect global public opinion and Israel's position in the world and therefore impair the success of the Group's brands in the international market.

2.2.3 Political and economic changes in China and Southeast Asian countries

Most of the Group's products are manufactured by suppliers and subcontractors in China. The Group is exposed to any limitations and/or changes in legislation and/or in political processes in China and/or in Israel and/or other countries which might affect the possibility of manufacturing the products in China, shipping the products out of China and/or the manufacturing costs in China. Moreover, significant fluctuations in the Chinese Yuan exchange rate might affect production costs and consequently the prices of products imported from China.

To the best of the Group's knowledge, as a result of the accelerated development in China, many changes took place there in recent years such as an increase in taxes imposed on textile exporters as well as regulatory changes, including in labor laws. The Group is unable to assess the degree of effect of the above mentioned factors and of any other factors arising from China's accelerated growth on the purchase prices of products made in China. In addition, the Group occasionally enters into small scope contracts with supplies from other countries in order to examine alternative sources of production and minimize its exposure to the Chinese market.

- 13 -

The Company also purchases from Bangladesh subcontractors. Bangladesh has no diplomatic relations with Israel and the Group is aware that restrictions have been imposed on Bangladesh companies that prevent them from directly trading with Israel. As a result, there is a risk that this activity will either be discontinued or interrupted due to political decisions made in this country. Production in Bangladesh is exposed, among others, to processes of intensified control on employment in the country, particularly in the textile industry. Currently, it is difficult to assess whether the above processes will have an effect on the production capacity in Bangladesh.

The Company estimates that there are immediate alternatives for the Bangladesh subcontractors in other countries of the Far East. In order to purchase products from countries which have no diplomatic relations with Israel such as Bangladesh, on March 22, 2010, the Company founded Fox Wizel (BVI) Ltd., registered in the British Virgin Islands.

2.2.4 The market's position and changes in the standard of living

The scope of the Group's consumer products sector is derived, among others, from the size of the population and its standard of living. The population growth rate, the purchasing power and private consumption growth rate, the level of available income and the standard of living all have a potential impact on the scope of the Group's operations and business results. In order to mitigate this impact, the Group focuses on expanding its operations in international markets.

2.2.5 The competition in the fashion industry

The Group's principal areas of activity involve the design, acquisition, distribution and marketing of clothes, footwear, trendy accessories, housewares and home textiles which it performs by operating retail chains by itself and through wholesales in Israel and abroad through franchises and sales to others. The retail and particularly the fashion industries are specifically characterized by fierce competition. In recent years there have been several trends which enhanced competition in the industry: the introduction of international brands into Israel, the increase in online purchases in the international and local markets, the open sky policy which led to increased purchases abroad at the expense of the local market, the growth in the number of commercial centers and shopping malls and the competition for attractive retail spaces in those centers and malls. In order to minimize the effect of changes in the fashion industry on its profits, the Group continuously adapts the majority of its products to the changing fashion trends, retains attractive prices and competitiveness, invests in advertising and designing the unique identity of its brands, increases the variety of chains and brands owned by it and recently launched an exclusive multi-brand retail website. See more information on the competition in the fashion and home fashion segment in paragraph 3.1.7 below. In the Group's aromatic bath and body care products segment, there is competition between several branded retail chains (some of which department stores and others retail chains) as well as local private stores. See details on competition regarding Laline in paragraph 3.2.7 below.

- 14 -

2.2.6 Change in customs duty and tax rates in Israel

Most of the Company's products are manufactured in the Far East. Therefore, changes in customs duty on imported goods from these countries might affect the Company's expenses and profits. Changes in customs duty in foreign countries in which the Group sells its products may also have an effect on the Group's revenues (although the Group's franchisees bear the customs related costs) since an increase in customs duty rates will make it difficult for the Group to compete with local manufacturers or with manufacturers from foreign countries.

Changes in customs duty rates on textiles and footwear imported to Israel might affect the Company's results. In early 2017, the customs duty rate on the majority of textiles, fabrics and footwear was 12%. On May 17, 2017, the customs duty rate on footwear was updated to zero. On January 21, 2018, the Customs Tariff and Exemptions and Purchase Tax on Goods Order (Temporary Provision No. 9), 2018 became effective. This order cancels the customs duty on the majority of textiles and clothing, sports goods, cosmetics and fragrances through December 31, 2019.

In 2017 and 2018, the Israeli corporate tax rate was 24% and 23%, respectively. See more details in Note 28 to the financial statements.

2.2.7 Employment terms

 Minimum wage

Most of the Group's employees receive minimum wage or slightly higher wages and therefore any significant increase in minimum wage will have an adverse effect on the Company's expenses and profits. In December 2017, the minimum wage was increased from NIS 5,000 to NIS 5,300 a month. By the end of March 2018, the minimum wage was calculated based on 186 labor hours a month or 43 labor hours a week at an hourly tariff of NIS 28.49. Effective from April 2018, the work week in Israel was shortened to 182 labor hours a month at an hourly tariff of NIS 29.12.

 Pension

From January 2017, the mandatory rate of an employer's contribution to employee provident funds was raised to 6.5%, increasing the rate of an employer's total contributions to employee benefits to 12.5%. See more details in paragraph 3.3.1(h) below.

2.2.8 Costs of commodities

The rise in the prices of commodities, mainly cotton, might lead to erosion of the Group's profits from products and, consequently, impair its financial results and business operations. In 2018, the prices of cotton rose by about 1.0% compared with 2017.

- 15 -

2.2.9 Shutdown of seaports

Since most of the Group's products and commodities are manufactured abroad and shipped and conveyed to Israel and to foreign franchisees by sea, any disruptions in seaport activity in Israel, China and/or target ports will adversely affect the marketing of the Group's products and its profits.

2.2.10 Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations

The Group is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, mainly the U.S. dollar and the Euro, arising from purchases in foreign currency from foreign suppliers and subcontractors and from purchases from local suppliers whose cost of products is sensitive to changes in exchange rate fluctuations.

On the other hand, most of the Group's sales are made to local customers in NIS and/or in unlinked NIS credit. As a rule, the Company enters into hedges to protect itself against possible changes in foreign currency rates.

In addition, exchange rate changes in foreign currencies in relation to the NIS are liable to change the purchase prices of the Group's products, the selling prices to consumers and consequently, impair the Group's profits.

The Company also holds securities portfolios, some of which consisting of dollar debentures. Any sharp decline in the dollar exchange rate is likely to affect the quoted prices of these securities.

2.2.11 Changes in interest and the CPI

The Company is exposed to changes in the Prime interest rate arising from financial liabilities assumed by it for financing its operations and from the linkage of the rental fees payable to lessors. In order to hedge some of those liabilities, the Company invests some of its cash balances in linked debentures and in debentures bearing both fixed and variable interest.

3. Description of the Group's business in its operating segment

3.1 The fashion and home fashion operating segment

3.1.1 General information - the fashion and home fashion segment

a. Developments in the operating segment markets

The Company's main activity is in the fashion and home fashion segment.

As a dynamic and leading company in the fashion and home fashion industry, the Company has invested considerable resources in the physical aspect of the stores, in creating a positive shopping experience for customers and in designing versatile collections. In addition, the Company invests resources in expanding and enhancing its customer loyalty club by offering unique benefits to its members.

The Company has nationally deployed stores in shopping malls and commercial centers under the FOX, FOX Home, American Eagle, Aerie, The Children's Place, Mango and Urban brand names.

Due to its size, the Company is able to reduce acquisition costs both in terms of order volumes and number of items ordered from each model thereby allowing its customers to benefit from attractive and competitive prices.

As of December 31, 2018, the Group has 330 stores across the country in this operating segment.

The fashion industry in Israel in recent years has experienced several trends as follows:

 Increased competition from the penetration of international chains into the Israeli market.  Increase in the number of online purchases mainly of international brands from overseas.  Enhanced competition resulting from the open sky policy which led to increased foreign purchases at the expense of the local market.  Investments in building brand identity as a means of distinction from other brands, mainly through advertising and managing a consolidated customer loyalty club.  M&A of fashion brands by leading corporations at the expense of smaller brands.  Enhancement of the customers' shopping experience by investing in the physical aspect of the points of sale.  Expansion of existing fashion brands into new areas such as by offering fashion accessories under the same brand name.  Opening outlet stores and outlet commercial centers which offer several outlet stores in the same center.  Increase in the number of retail spaces and shopping centers and expansion and renovation of existing malls.

- 17 - b. Special restrictions, legislation, regulations and constraints applicable to the operating segment

See information in paragraph 3.1.15 below. c. Changes in the scope of operations in the segment and the profits therefrom

According to RIS data, there was an average decrease of about 1.7% in same store sales in the fashion and footwear industries in 2018. d. Market developments in the operating segment or changes in the nature of the customers therein

See paragraphs 2.2.5 and 3.1.1 above. e. Critical success factors in the operating segment and changes therein

The Company believes that there are several critical success factors underlying the operating segment as follows:

 Operating the Terminal-X online retail website which allows purchasing a variety of the Group's products, including the Terminal-X exclusive brand products and other international brands.

 Expanding the variety of the Company's activities and segments such as home fashion, footwear and fashion accessories and adding trendier clothing brands.

 Introducing renowned international brands into the Group's product offerings and expanding the Company's customer base.

 Designing, purchasing and regularly updating versatile and trendy collections by investing resources in design and procurement departments, constantly following local and global developments in the fashion and home fashion industries and catering to diverse customer preferences.

 Sustaining a firm, reliable and flexible procurement system and infrastructure abroad that benefits from the Company's economies of scale both in order volumes and in the number of items ordered from every design made by the Company to assist in reducing procurement costs and allow offering competitive prices to customers.

 Maintaining advanced logistics and supporting IT systems - the Company has two advanced logistic centers in Israel which allow optimized adaptation of inventories to store needs. The Company's IT systems enable real time connection of each of the Company's stores with its control and logistic centers and its HQ.

 Maintaining effective quality control system from the manufacturing stage throughout the supply chain.

- 18 -

 Expanding and improving the operation of the Group's customer loyalty club as a tool for strengthening the Company's relations with its customers and expanding the club's credit card operations. See additional information in paragraph 3.1.5 below.

 Expanding the Group's sales to institutional customers through marketing gift cards and unique gift packages.

 Achieving national deployment of the Company's stores in prime strategic locations inside major shopping malls and centers in Israel in order to allow prospective customers maximum exposure to the Company's products.

 Improving the shopping experience in the Company's stores by refreshing the stores' appearance and by consolidating stores, changing store location, closing stores in less profitable locations and adjusting store size.

 Continuing to focus on providing quality service and tailored solutions to the Company's customers.

 Sustaining a stable financial capital structure.

 Benefiting from the diverse media platforms for enhancing the public's exposure and awareness to the Company's brands while creating added value for the brands by associating them with the Company's attractive image and distinguishing them from the competition (social media and social networks). f. Changes in the system of suppliers and commodities in the operating segment

The Company's management believes that in the last few years, the majority of manufacturing activity in the industry in general and specifically in the Company has been conducted by Far East subcontractors, mainly from China, India and Bangladesh. The Company has no dependency on a specific supplier and/or subcontractor since all the Company's products can be manufactured at the desired quantities by a large number of other suppliers and/or subcontractors in China and/or in other countries (mainly in Southeast Asia) without incurring any significant additional production costs. In order to achieve a flexible and efficient acquisition process, the Company also acts through the Chinese subsidiary for locating suppliers, monitoring production and assuring quality. g. The main barriers to entry and to exit in the operating segment and changes therein

The barriers to entry in setting up a single fashion store are low since it does not require any special resources. However, the transition from operating a single store or several locally deployed stores to nationwide deployment requires making large investments in infrastructures and in logistics and also requires financial strength.

- 19 -

The barriers to exit in the operating segment mainly consist of costs involving shutting down stores and terminating agreements for rental of stores, offices and logistic centers and cancellation of agreements signed with franchisers. See more information on a rental agreement and its implications in Note 20b to the financial statements.

h. Alternatives to the operating segment products and changes therein

The Company's products have many alternative products by local manufacturers and/or importers that are marketed throughout Israel in numerous and diversified points of sale and online domestically and worldwide. The Company acts to retain and enhance its competitive edge over alternative products through market differentiation, design, quality and by attributing added value to its brands by adhering to leading and innovative designs, offering competitive prices, developing a variety of products, offering an enhanced shopping experience, expanding deployment in leading locations, advertising, public relations and managing a members' club.

i. The structure of the competition in the operating segment and changes therein

The local fashion industry is characterized by fierce local and global competition between a large number of international and local branded chains, local retailers and websites. See more information in paragraphs 3.1.1 above and 3.1.7 below.

3.1.2 Products

The Group's products in the fashion and home fashion segment include various types of fashion products such as clothing, footwear, underclothing, housewares and accessories and there is no material difference regarding the Group's risks, logistics, store locations, employees, marketing and decision-making process underlying all the products in this segment.

Following are details of the Company's diverse products in the operating segment:

a. The FOX brand - the Company sells clothing, footwear and fashion accessories for women, men, kids and babies.

This on-trend fashion brand is a leading global brand with numerous and versatile collections that are updated weekly.

See more information on the above brands in paragraph 1.2.1 above and in Note 20b to the financial statements. See more information on the production capacity in paragraph 3.1.9 below.

3.1.3 Segmentation of revenues and product profitability

The brands sold by the Company in the fashion and home fashion segment share common features and similarities expressed by a long list of parameters which also pertain to long-term gross and operating profit margins, procurement and distribution processes, customer types, seasonality, regulation, risk factors and more.

- 21 -

Following are details of revenues and the Company's sales in the fashion and home fashion segment:

Fashion and home fashion Net sales (after discounts, operating segment excluding VAT), NIS millions % of segment sales in Israel 2018 2017 2016 2018 2017 2016 Local brands - fashion 702 693 682 39% 40% 42% Franchised brands - fashion 776 749 703 43% 44% 43% Local brands - home fashion 310 282 249 18% 16% 15% Total 1,788 1,724 1,634 100% 100% 100%

The gross profits of the brands in the fashion and home fashion segment in 2018, 2017 and 2016 range between 54.9%-63.4%, 538%-61% and 53.7%-61.7%, respectively (excluding the C&K brand discontinued in 2017).

It should be noted that some of the brands sold by the Company in the fashion and home fashion segment are in the first years of operation by the Company and have yet to reach their full growth potential and operating profit margins that are currently experienced by the Company's other brands in this segment. The Company estimates that in the long run, the operating profit margins of these brands will reach similar rates to those yielded by the Company's other more veteran brands in the segment.

Following is a breakdown of revenues and gross profit in the segment according to customer types:

2018 2017 Fashion and home Revenues Revenues fashion operating (NIS Segmentation Gross profit (NIS Segmentation Gross profit segment thousands) of revenues margin thousands) of revenues margin Directly operated stores5 1,717,477 94.3% 62.5% 1,690,470 96.5% 59.1% Wholesalers and others 70,052 3.8% 39.6% 33,837 1.9% 46.9% Foreign franchisees 34,635 1.9% 37.8% 27,553 1.6% 38.1% Total 1,822,164 100% 61.2% 1,751,860 100% 58.6%

See an analysis of the growth in sales and in gross profit in paragraphs 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 to the Board of Directors' Report in Chapter B below.

5 The revenues from directly operated stores include revenues from 24 stores managed by operators. The sales turnover in stores managed by operators in 2018 accounted for about 7% of total sales in this operating segment.

- 23 -

3.1.4 Customers

The Group's customers can be classified into three main groups:

 The end consumers at the stores managed and operated by the Company (in Israel)  Wholesale customers in Israel: owners of stores across Israel and institutional customers  The Company's foreign franchisees

The Company is not dependent on a specific customer whose loss would materially affect its operating segment, including any foreign franchisee. See additional information about the Company's customers in paragraph 3.1.14 below.

3.1.5 Marketing and distribution

a. General

Distribution in Israel

The distribution of the Company's products in Israel is done from the Company's state- of-the-art storage and logistic center at FOX House at the Airport City near Ben-Gurion Airport and from the logistic center in Modiin, Israel.

The Company's products are stored at the logistic centers and distributed to the Company's stores in Israel based on a daily distribution plan, according to the Company's sales forecasts, targets and actual sales. Distribution is carried out to the majority of stores on a daily basis and includes models that have been pre-booked before the season begins and re-ordered items based on each store's specific needs. The IT systems allow online supervision and control in order to provide a quick response, inventory management and operation flexibility and inventory shifting between stores and from the logistic centers to stores. These tools enable better utilization of inventories, reduction of items returned from the stores to the logistic centers and optimization of store spaces. From time to time and based on its needs, the Company uses external storage apart from the logistic centers, as above, through subcontractors. Distribution to stores is normally done using the Company's truck fleet.

See details of the offices and logistic centers used by the Company in Notes 20b(2) and 20b(4) to the financial statements, respectively.

Distribution in international markets

The distribution of the Company's products to franchisees in international markets is generally performed directly from the Company's foreign subcontractors' warehouses and facilities. The Company delivers the manufacturing orders to foreign subcontractors, which includes information of the target country for product supply. Once manufactured, the goods are directly shipped from the manufacturer's factories to the customers, whereby most sales are performed under FOB terms.

- 24 -

Marketing the Company's products in Israel

The Company markets its products to Israeli customers through a chain of stores managed and operated by the Company and through sales to wholesalers and institutional customers who resell the Company's products at the points of sale operated by them.

The Company's stores are mostly located in leading shopping malls and commercial centers in Israel. The stores are all designed under a uniform and unique concept which is occasionally updated and adapted to the Company's marketing objectives. Sales and marketing in the actual stores are performed by the sales teams who have been specifically trained in the sales, service and fashion fields. In addition, the Company provides special offers at the stores (advertised at the points of sale) and holds special sales events. The Company operates several outlet stores for selling surplus inventories that have not been sold during the year.

The Group's marketing activity in Israel consists, among others, of advertising on television, issuing catalogs, advertising in the written and digital press, in billboards and in shopping malls and stores, operating a website and social networks, activities for members of the Dream Card customer loyalty club etc. The marketing activities, their nature and scope vary from time to time and are determined at the Company's management's discretion.

Online marketing

On November 20, 2017, the Company launched the Terminal X multi-brand fashion and lifestyle retail website which serves as a platform for the Company for selling the Group's brands and many other international brands. See details in Note 10b(11) to the financial statements.

Customer loyalty club

On January 1, 2014, the Company launched a new consolidated customer loyalty club, Dream Card. As of the periodic report date, the club encompasses most of the Group's brands (FOX, FOX Home, AE, Aerie, Children's, Laline, Mango, Billabong, Terminal- X, Foot Locker, Urban Outfitters and Free People) and allows club members to receive specific club benefits for each brand, earn credits for each qualifying purchase and exercise earned credits for each club brand.

Moreover, in keeping with an agreement from January 21, 2018 between the Company and Leumi Card, on July 10, 2018, the Company and Leumi Card launched the Dream Card VIP credit card in the context of the Company's customer loyalty club. The credit card offers exclusive benefits, including in collaborations with third parties, and allows customers to earn more store credits alongside other benefits and special offers granted by Leumi Card to its customers. The Company considers this credit card a significant growth engine for expanding its customer loyalty club's operation. The Company believes that this step contributes to leveraging its economies of scale and its retail status and represents a strategic advantage over its competitors. See more information in Note 20b(15) to the financial statements.

The Company distributes targeted catalogs and leaflets informing the club members of special offers and new products. According to the club's rules, the Company may change the club's rules and/or the benefits offered to the members from time to time, at its exclusive discretion and subject to applicable law. The Company considers the customer loyalty club as a main tool for retaining customer loyalty and invests extensive marketing and sales promotion efforts therein compared to its other marketing efforts.

The following table presents the numbers of club members and identifiable purchase rates in 2018-2016:

Dream Card club % of identifiable As of members (thousands) purchases December 31, 2018 1,575 ~ 65% December 31, 2017 1,450 ~ 70% December 31, 2016 1,300 ~ 71%

b. Pricing of the Company's products in Israel

The Company's products have uniform prices that are determined before each season begins. The pricelist states the final consumer selling price (including VAT) and the product's wholesale price (excluding VAT) ("the Company's pricelist"). The Company's pricelist applies to products sold in directly operated stores in Israel (including stores operated by external operators) and through others in Israel (wholesalers, retail stores, institutional entities etc.).

c. Sales and marketing in the international market

As elaborated below, the Company entered into franchise agreements with foreign companies which granted the franchisees an exclusive, limited and non-transferrable license for distributing and reselling the Company's products in the relevant countries and the right to use the FOX trademark as well as other Company brand names and trademarks. The sales are made to franchisees under FOB terms whereby the franchisees bear all the costs relating to transport, insurance, taxes, customs etc. as well as costs relating to construction, operation and advertising of the chain in the relevant territory. In most cases, the franchise is granted for retail sales only.

3.1.6 Order backlog

All the Company's customers, excluding foreign customers, purchase products from time to time based on their specific needs and without ordering in advance. The Company's franchisees order the products they need from the Company four-nine months before each season begins.

The order backlog of the Company's foreign customers as of December 31, 2018 approximates NIS 21,659 thousand.

The order backlog of the Company's foreign customers as of December 31, 2017 approximated NIS 18,939 thousand and was fully realized in 2018.

3.1.7 Competition

The Company operates in an extremely competitive market which is host to numerous entities, including manufacturers, importers, international fashion chains, local fashion chains, international and local websites and private stores. Moreover, in the last two years, with the introduction of the open sky policy and the growth in the number of Israelis traveling abroad, there was an increase in foreign purchases at the expense of the local market.

Competition in the women's fashion sector ranges according to quality, trendiness, branding and pricing. In the basic wear field, the Company's competitors include Delta, Hoodies, S.Wear, Tamnoon and others.

In the fashion industry, the Company's competitors include H&M, Twentyfourseven, Pull & Bear, Zara, , Renuar, Golf, Top Shop and numerous other local chains and stores.

Competition in the children's clothing and fashion industry is numerous and diverse such as Zara, H&M, Castro, Honigman, Delta, S.Wear, H&O, Golf Kids, Keds, Hoodies and numerous other domestic chains and stores.

There is also considerable competition in the housewares segment from brands such as Golf & Co., Hamashbir, Naaman Porcelain, Vardinon, Kitan, Zara Home, IKEA and non-food stands in the food chains.

As for the Company's methods of dealing with competition in the Israeli fashion industry, see paragraphs 3.1.1 and 3.3.7 above.

3.1.8 Seasonality

The Group's activities as a group engaged in the clothing and apparel industry are affected by seasonality - summer (March-August) and winter (September-February). The Company designs, manufactures and orders most of the products sold by it twice a year, about four-nine months before each season, and coordinates the advertising and marketing efforts at the beginning of each season (mostly in the first month of each season).

The winter seasons, and mostly the fourth quarter of each year, are characterized by higher sales than the other quarters. Main sales are made in the first three months of each season. Moreover, seasonal volatility is reflected in sales in each season. The winter sales are usually positively affected by cold weathers and the beginning of the rain season in October-December and negatively affected by warm and rainless winters.

Furthermore, there is generally an increase in sales volumes shortly before the holiday seasons, which affects sales volatility between quarters. The first and second quarters of each year are mainly alternately affected by the timing of Passover.

3.1.9 Production capacity

The vast majority of the Group's products in the operating segment are manufactured several months before each (summer/winter) season begins by a large number of subcontractors and, therefore, there is no material limitation imposed on the Company's production capacity.

The Group is not dependent on any specific suppliers and/or subcontractors since all its products can be manufactured in the desired quantities by a large number of other suppliers and/or subcontractors in China and/or in other countries without significant additional production costs.

3.1.10 Quality control

The Group exercises several quality control levels for its products both for controlling production processes in subcontractors' factories and for controlling the quality of products received in Israel. Quality control is performed by the Group's QC department managed by the Chief Quality Officer ("QCO"). The first phase of quality control commences with the receipt of an initial model from the subcontractors which is based on the product file prepared by the Company's designers with the desired model's specs. The preliminary examination inspects the quality of raw materials, dyes, sewing and compliance with washing instructions by the Company's QC staff. After obtaining approval for commencement of work and receipt of goods, the majority of goods received from all subcontractors are inspected. The Company's QCO is responsible for submitting a quality control report on a monthly basis (categorized according to women, men etc.) which reviews findings of any deficiencies in the goods received. Moreover, the QCO inspects the production and ongoing work processes at the subcontractors' factories in China. The Company operates a customer service department that is in charge of detecting flaws in products and classifying them according to the various suppliers as well as preparing a customer service report which specifies the models returned due to flaws in production.

3.1.11 Fixed assets and facilities

a. General

The Company does not own any real estate properties and its activities (offices, warehouses and stores) are performed on leased real estate. In order to secure rental agreements, the Company provided the building lessors promissory notes and/or bank guarantees. As of December 31, 2018, the bank guarantees total NIS 27,703 thousand.

b. Offices and logistic warehouse

See details of the offices and logistic centers used by the Company in Notes 20b(2) and 20b(4) to the financial statements, respectively.

c. Retail stores

The following table presents the number of stores opened and closed in 2016-2018 as of December 31, 2018:

Fashion and home fashion segment Additional information Total stores at December 31, 2015 308 Stores opened in 2016 - Average new store set up cost - approximately NIS 5,900 per sq. m.6 - Total cost invested in setting up new 18 stores - approximately NIS 32 million. Stores closed/consolidated in 2016 )13( Total stores at December 31, 2016 313 Stores opened in 2017 - Average new store set up cost - approximately NIS 5,600 per sq. m.6 - Total cost invested in setting up new 24 stores - approximately NIS 44 million. Stores closed/consolidated in 2017 )23( Total stores at December 31, 2017 314 Stores opened in 2018 - Average new store set up cost - approximately NIS 4,600 per sq. m.6 - Total cost invested in setting up new 27 stores - approximately NIS 49 million. Stores closed/consolidated in 2018 (11) Total stores at December 31, 2018 330

Average new store set up cost excludes the participation of third parties in set up costs and therefore, the Company's actual cost is likely to be considerably lower. In 2017 and 2018, the shopping malls in which the Company's stores are located participated in 30%- 40% of all new store set up costs. The participation ratios are determined in negotiations between the Company and the lessor, mostly since the lessor is interested in improving its position in the shopping mall market by introducing one of the Group's brands into the shopping mall, or due to a store relocation requirement.

6 Total calculated area does not include communal spaces which are included for payment of rent.

The store contents, inventories and sales are exclusively owned by the Company. The operator is charged for the store operation expenses and fees such as rent, management fees and wages and also provides collateral to the lessor in return for reimbursement of operating fees.

- 31 -

As of December 31, 2018, the Company rents 33011 active stores across Israel for the fashion and home fashion segment, most of which in shopping malls and commercial centers. The rental terms for each store are determined in negotiations between the Company and the lessors. The rental period for the majority of rental agreements is ten years. The initial rental period in most rental agreements is five years. In addition, in most rental agreements, the Company has an option for extension of the rental period by additional periods of 5-15 years.

The rental fees for most stores are partly calculated at a fixed amount and partly as the higher of a fixed percentage of proceeds or a fixed amount and are mostly linked to the Israeli CPI. In addition to rental fees, the Company generally also pays additional fees for the leasehold's management and maintenance.

As of December 31, 2018, with the lessors' consent, the Company granted certain operators the right to use 2412 of its stores in return for the rental fees charged to the Company and provided that they comply with the other provisions in the rental agreements with the lessors.

Total rental fees and management fees in respect of the stores recorded by the Company in its books for 2018 amounted to approximately NIS 265,700 thousand and for 2017 approximately NIS 257,310 thousand. As for the Company's engagements in rental contracts, see Note 20b to the financial statements.

3.1.12 Intangible assets

Trademarks

The Company's policy is to achieve proprietary protection over its various trademarks and brand names and therefore it takes steps for renewing and registering its trade marks in its name in Israel and worldwide. The Company's signature brands in Israel are closely identified with the Company and represent its main trademarks. They are imprinted on the Company's products and ad campaigns as a means of recognizing and differentiating the Company's products and attributing value to the Company and its products. The Company owns 18 registered trademarks in Israel under different classifications, including FOX, FOX Home, Dream Card and Dream Kids.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company's expenses relating to trademarks, their registration and protection are immaterial. The Company's management believes that the Company has adequate protection of its trademarks in Israel and that it is able to defend them against third party claims with high likelihood. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has trademarks registered in Israel, China, Singapore, Poland, Mongolia, the , Serbia, Bulgaria, the Philippines, Germany, Greece, Vietnam, India, Cyprus, Myanmar and Spain. Applications have been filed for registering the Company's trademarks in other countries as well. The registration process is lengthy and might last between one and three years in each country and in certain cases even longer. Even after the process of registering a trademark abroad is completed, a third party might appeal in a petition to have it reversed. Due to all the reasons detailed above, the Company's management believes that the Company's protection over its trademarks registered abroad and over the applications filed for registering trademarks abroad at this stage is not as strong as the protection it has over its Israeli trademarks since the FOX and F&X brands have not yet accumulated the reputation that they have in Israel overseas.

In addition, as a rule, the Group uses the trademarks which are registered in Israel on behalf of the international brand names based on franchise agreements.

See additional information of the Company's intangible assets in Note 12 to the financial statements.

3.1.13 Suppliers

a. General

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had engagements for purchasing merchandise in an amount of approximately NIS 287.9 million.

b. Suppliers and subcontractors

The Company has a few dozen main suppliers and subcontractors which manufacture the models ordered by the Company in the Far East. The Company does not have a long- term agreement with any of the suppliers and subcontractors and the orders are made every season based on negotiations between the parties. The Company pays the foreign suppliers and subcontractors for manufacturing the products, sometimes through advance payments or credit letters and sometimes at different credit terms without collateral, all based on the negotiations between the parties and in keeping with economic considerations.

The Company does not have a right to return the products purchased by it from foreign suppliers.

The following table specifies the percentage of purchases of finished goods abroad out of total purchases of finished goods made by the Company according to suppliers and subcontractors:

2018 2017 % of % of purchases purchases out of total out of total Scope of finished Scope of finished purchases goods purchases goods Country (NIS'000) purchased Country (NIS'000) purchased Supplier A China 40,214 5.3% China 29,868 4.6% Supplier B Bangladesh 31,024 4.1% China 27,851 4.3% Supplier C China 29,969 3.9% China 26,586 4.1%

In addition to the above table of suppliers, the Company entered into franchise agreements with the international brands of AE, Children's, Mango and Urban ("the franchisees"). Therefore, the franchisees may be considered as material suppliers for the Company. Nevertheless, the franchisees have numerous suppliers in many countries around the world and are not dependent on any specific supplier. See details in paragraph 3.1.2 above and in Note 20b to the financial statements.

See information of the Company's exposure due to the loss of a brand franchiser in paragraph 9 below.

Apart from the aforementioned, as of December 31, 2018, the Company is not dependent on any specific supplier and/or subcontractor since all the products can be manufactured for the Company in the quantities needed by a large number of other suppliers and/or subcontractors in China and/or in other countries without incurring additional production costs.

- 34 -

3.1.14 Working capital

a. Policy of holding inventories of finished products

The Company holds inventories of finished products for the supply of the Company's products mostly for an average period of about 4-6 months based on seasonal sales forecasts that are prepared about one year in advance. The scope of inventories held by the Company is relatively large at the beginning of the season and is minimized at the end of the season.

In 2018 and 2017, inventory days were about 189 and 174, respectively.

b. Inventory data (NIS in thousands)

31.12.2018 31.12.2017 Finished goods 365,290 300,848

As of December 31, 2018, the products in the fashion and home fashion operating segment consist of inventories purchased by December 31, 2016 totaling approximately NIS 16,622 thousand. The inventories as of December 31, 2017 include inventories purchased by December 31, 2015 totaling approximately NIS 17,428 thousand ("inventories from previous years"). The Group sells inventories from previous years in the self-operated outlet stores and in special end of season sales in non-outlet stores and from time to time also sells unused merchandise to wholesalers who in turn sell the merchandise in non-local markets.

The Company periodically evaluates the condition and age of inventories and makes provisions for slow moving inventories accordingly. The Company's evaluations include, among others, examining the selling prices of items of inventories from previous years sold in stores against their cost in the Company's books and analyzing the movement in inventories over the years in order to examine the sales rate of inventories from previous years. The Company believes that inventories that are up to two years old will be sold by it at a price that is higher than cost. According to the Company's inventory policy, inventories aged more than two years are written down by 50% and inventories aged more than five years are written down in full. As of December 31, 2015, the value of inventories was written down in respect of a provision for the impairment of inventories in the amount of approximately NIS 10,708 thousand, representing about 50% of the value of inventories which is above two years old and approximately NIS 348 thousand, representing 100% of the value of inventories above five years old. The Company believes that the provision recorded in the books for inventories from previous years is adequate.

- 35 -

The Company orders the majority of products sold by it between twice and six times a year, depending on the brand and the fashion trends, about 4-9 months before each season. The ordering of products for the next season is based on forecasts according to sales data in previous seasons and estimates and assumptions regarding expected changes in the scope of sales arising from various factors such as opening new stores, changes in customer tastes etc. Items from AE and Children's are ordered about 4-6 times a year based on the turnover in the chief collections and on an ongoing basis for supplements. Mango's women's collection is ordered about six times a year based on the overseas collection and men's and kids' collections are updated about four times a year. Housewares consist of multi-seasonal items that are ordered on an ongoing basis based on a safety inventory model according to sales rate and seasonal items which are ordered twice a year according to the turnover in collections. Not being able to predict future demands for products might expose the Company to high inventory levels. c. Merchandise return policy

In directly-operated stores, the Company allows product returns based on the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act and the Consumer Protection Regulations (Transaction Cancellation), 2010.

The Company's foreign franchisees and wholesale customers in Israel are not granted a right of return at the end of the season. d. Credit

(1) Credit from suppliers

The Group accepts credit from suppliers under current + 60-90 day terms. In the year ended December 31, 2018, the average credit term from suppliers was about 86 days as opposed to about 77 days last year. The weighted credit received by the Group from suppliers in the reporting period did not change materially compared to the reporting periods. The Group's average scope of credit from suppliers in 2018 totaled approximately NIS 162,193 thousand compared to approximately NIS 151,614 thousand in 2017.

(2) Credit to customers

Directly-operated stores in Israel - the Group allows customers using credit cards to use a payment plan free of linkage or interest based on the scope of purchase. The Company periodically enters into engagements with issuers of coupons and magnetic gift cards (non-debit cards) that allow making purchases in a large number of institutions and chains, under arrangements that enable using them in the Group's stores at face value. These issuers pay the Group the consideration for the transactions less a discount at current + 30-45 day terms. As a rule, sales to wholesalers in Israel are not provided on credit. Sales to institutional customers in Israel generally use average credit terms of current + 60-90 days.

Sales to foreign franchisees - sales to foreign franchisees are made at average credit terms of cash or current + up to 90 days from the date of receipt of the goods by the customer or from the date of issuing the invoice.

- 36 -

In the year ended December 31, 2018, the weighted credit granted by the Group to customers totaled about 30 days compared to about 26 days last year. The Group's average scope of credit to customers in 2018 totaled approximately NIS 146,862 thousand compared to approximately NIS 122,628 thousand in 2017.

(3) Doubtful accounts

For additional details, see paragraph 2 to Chapter B below.

3.2.1 General information - the aromatic bath and body care products segment

a. Developments in the aromatic bath and body care products operating segment markets

The aromatic bath and body care products segment is subject to extensive competition from competitors such as Sabon, The Body Shop and L'Occitane as well as from pharm chains and department store chains that offer unique departments that sell skin and body care products. There are also local shops that sell beauty and body care products.

In recent years, the aromatic bath and body care products segment has been experiencing several trends as follows:

 Competition in the local market due to the entry of international firms.

 Increase in online sales of local and international brands.

 Investments in branding both at the product level and at the store level.

 Development and innovation trends starting from expanding product lines to introducing new fragrances and ending in upgrading existing product and packaging offerings.

- 40 - b. Special restrictions, legislation, regulations and constraints applicable to the operating segment

See paragraph 3.2.15 below. c. Changes in the scope of operations in the segment and the profits therefrom

The Group does not have objective data regarding the overall scope of activity in this segment and/or its profits. d. Market developments in the operating segment or changes in the nature of the customers therein

Laline is a successful leader in its local market with extensive deployment of stores across Israel. The Company and Laline both believe that Laline has tremendous potential of succeeding in international markets.

Laline is currently acting to expand its deployment in international markets and began by opening several directly operated stores in Toronto, Canada (six stores as of the periodic report date) and a store in Barcelona, Spain. e. Critical success factors in the operating segment and changes therein

Laline believes that there are several critical success factors underlying the operating segment as follows:

 Investing in identity building as a means of distinction from competitors.

 Creating a variety of innovative products with a wide spectrum of scents, sensations and designs.

 Investing resources in advertising in order to retain and enhance power, distinction and dominance in the aromatic bath and body care industry.

 National deployment of Laline's stores in strategic locations inside major shopping malls and commercial centers in Israel and unique and uniform concept design of all the stores to give out a clean and intimate look & feel. The entire stores are made of white-colored wood and the products are categorized by scent and in sets for creating a special customer shopping experience.

 Utilizing Laline's economies of scale both in order volumes and in the number of items ordered from each product type to assist in minimizing acquisition costs and offer competitive prices to customers.

 Maintaining and using advanced, automated state-of-the-art management, control, IT and logistics systems.

 Maintaining an effective quality control system for the products.

 The customers' club is large and dynamic and offers added value to the customer.

 Accessing international markets through directly operated stores and franchisees.

 Domestic and international online sales.

- 41 -

f. The main barriers to entry and to exit in the operating segment and changes therein

Laline estimates that there are no significant barriers to entry in the industry in which it operates. The barriers to entry in setting up a single store in this segment are relatively low and do not require any special resources. However, the transition from operating a single store or several locally deployed stores to nationwide deployment requires making large investments in infrastructures and in logistics, having financial strength and entering into engagements with vital suppliers.

The barriers to exit in the operating segment mainly consist of costs involving shutting down stores and terminating agreements for rental of stores, offices and logistic centers.

g. Alternatives to the operating segment products and changes therein

Laline's products have many alternative products by local manufacturers and/or importers that are marketed throughout Israel in numerous and diversified points of sale. Laline acts to retain and enhance its competitive edge over alternative products through market differentiation, originality, innovation, quality and market leadership and by attributing added value to its brands by adhering to leading and trendy designs, offering competitive prices, developing a variety of products, advertising, public relations and managing a members' club as part of the Company's consolidated customer loyalty club, the Dream Card (for additional information, see paragraph 3.2.5 c below). .

h. The structure of the competition in the operating segment and changes therein

The aromatic bath and body care industry is characterized by competition several branded chains (including department stores and retail chains) and local shops.

In addition to retail chains that market competing products in Israel such as Sabon, The Body Shop, Yves Rocher and L'Occitane, the nationally deployed pharm chains and department stores also sell competing products as well as a large number of retail stores that do not form part of the national competing chains.

3.2.2 Products

Laline's products are divided into the following seven categories:

 Body care products: hand and body lotions and creams, bath lotions and body oils.  Bath and shower products: liquid and solid soaps, scrubs and shower gels.  Fragrances and ambiance products: candles, diffusers, oil burners.  Tailored product series for teenage girls and men.  Face products: creams, lotions and masks.  Textile products: bathrobes, towels, blankets.  Bath and lifestyle products: bath and shower accessories.

The Company has several suppliers that manufacture most of products ordered by it. Most of the products are developed and designed by Laline itself and manufactured for it by suppliers.

3.2.3 Segmentation of revenues and product profitability

All of Laline's products in the aromatic bath and body care products segment do not differ materially in terms of risks, development, procurement, marketing and the decision making process.

Following are details of revenues and gross profit according to types of customers:

Aromatic bath 2018 2017 and body care Revenues Gross Revenues Gross operating (NIS Segmentation profit (NIS Segmentation profit segment thousands) of revenues margin thousands) of revenues margin Directly operated stores in Israel and overseas 174,737 84.2% 70.2% 162,538 88.1% 71.5% Wholesalers and others 13,869 6.7% 45.8% 11,999 6.5% 45.2% International operations * 18,872 9.1% 45.2% 9,871 5.4% 41.2% Total 207,478 100% 66.3% 184,408 100% 68.2%

Below are data of proceeds per sq. m. in directly operated stores in Israel and overseas and proceeds per employee in 2016-2018:

Aromatic bath and body care operating segment 2018 2017 2016 Total sales in directly operated stores (NIS thousands) (100%) (1) (*) 174,737 162,538 148,451 Total sq. m. in directly operated stores - annual average (2) 5,201 5,048 4,877 Number of directly operated stores at reporting date 118 106 104 Average monthly proceeds per sq. m. (NIS) 2,800 2,683 2,536 Average monthly proceeds per employee (NIS thousands) (3) 55 50.8 47.8

(*) In 2018, this amount includes revenues totaling approximately NIS 808 thousand from two stores opened in 2018 and managed by operators.

(1) The data of directly operated store sales include total proceeds in stores in Israel less VAT and less any discount and special offer entered into the cash registers (including exercise of club points and coupon discounts).

(2) The data of sq. m. presented in the table above are in net terms and exclude public spaces and storage areas. The calculation of total average sq. m. per annum is proportionate to the number of months of operation for each store.

(3) The average monthly proceeds per employee are calculated as follows: total proceeds of directly operated stores divided by the number of salespeople during a calendar year. Since most of the salespeople are part-time employees, the number of employees was calculated using full-time position terms (total hours by sales staff divided by 186 hours until March 31, 2018 and by 182 hours from April 1, 2018, following a legislative amendment enacted).

The increase in total sales per sq. m. n directly operated stores mainly arises from the increase in same store sales in 2018 as opposed to sales in 2017 and from opening new stores in the course of 2018.

- 43 -

Following are details of directly operated same stores in 2017-2016:

Aromatic bath and body care operating segment 2018 2017 Change % Total sales in directly operated stores (NIS thousands)(1) 163,563 153,215 6.8% Total sq. m. in directly operated stores - annual average (2) 4,943 4,943 - Monthly proceeds per sq. m. in directly operated same stores (NIS) (3) 2,757 2,583 - Number of directly operated stores (3) 105 105 -

(1) As for the calculation of total directly operated store sales, see item (1) in the above table.

(2) As for the calculation of total directly operated store sales, see item (2) in the above table.

(3) The calculation of sales per sq. m. of same stores in 2018 is based on stores that have not changed in terms of sq. m. or of the sub brands sold therein in 2018-2017.

(*) The percentage of change in same stores in 2017 compared to 2016 was 5.02% (based on unchanged stores in terms of sq. m. or the sub brands sold therein in 2017-2016 consisting of 98 stores).

3.2.4 Customers

Laline's customers can be classified into three main groups:

 The end consumers at the stores managed and operated by Laline and on the Company's website  Wholesalers: business and institutional customers  Foreign franchisees

Laline is not dependent on a specific customer whose loss would materially affect its operating segment, including any foreign franchisee.

3.2.5 Marketing and distribution

a. General

Marketing channels

Laline has four major marketing channels:

1. Direct sales to the end customers in stores that are managed and operated by Laline in Israel ("directly-operated sales" or "directly-operated stores").

2. Sales to business and institutional customers in Israel (workers' committees etc.) ("sales to institutional customers").

3. Sales to Laline's foreign franchisees ("sales to foreign franchisees").

4. Direct sales to end customers in in stores managed and operated by Laline abroad.

- 44 -

Distribution to directly operated stores

The distribution of products in Israel is done from the Fox Group's state-of-the-art storage and logistic center in Modiin. Laline's products are stored at the logistic center and distributed to Laline's stores in Israel based on predetermined distribution procedures issued by Laline's HQ according to sales forecasts, targets and actual sales. Distribution is mostly carried out on a daily basis and includes products that have been ordered based on each store's specific needs and items that have been re-ordered. The IT systems allow online supervision and control in order to provide a quick response, inventory management and operation flexibility and inventory shifting between stores and from the logistic center to stores. These tools enable better utilization of inventories, reduction of items returned from the stores to the logistic center and optimization of store spaces. The logistic center and its computerized conveyance systems and machinery enable customized gathering of items for each store individually based on each store's specific needs and actual sales.

On July 15, 2012, the Company and Laline signed an agreement for the provision of logistic services according to which he Company will grant Laline logistic services that consist of the following: storage at the Company's logistic center, supply chain management and distribution to stores. The agreement allows Laline to use the Company's logistic systems and infrastructures for the purpose of optimizing Laline's logistic, storage, distribution and supply chain procedures in the Company's IT systems. The consideration for the Company's logistic services was determined as a percentage of Laline's total operations and will be reviewed and updated annually if needed.

Sales to institutional customers are made through the Group's logistic center in Modiin as described above.

The distribution of products to Laline's directly operated stores abroad is performed through a specific warehouse rented by Laline in each country of operation based on sales forecasts and targets and actual sales, in coordination with Laline's Israeli HQ's policies. Products are normally distributed to the stores several times a week, including preordered and reordered items based on specific store needs. Laline's IT systems provide supervision and control and allow quick response, flexible stock management and operation and inventory shifting between stores and from the warehouse to the stores.

Distribution to foreign franchisees

The distribution of Laline's products to foreign franchisees is mostly performed directly from Laline's logistic center in Modiin. Laline delivers the manufacturing orders to the suppliers and sells the products to the foreign franchisees from the logistic center in Israel at ex-factory terms. Laline's international department issues sale invoices to the franchisees based on the pricelist.

Marketing Laline's products in Israel

Laline markets its products to Israeli customers through a chain of stores managed and operated by Laline and through sales to institutional buyers who make bulk purchases.

Laline's stores are mostly located in leading shopping malls and commercial centers in Israel. The stores are all designed under a uniform and unique concept which is occasionally updated and adapted to Laline's marketing objectives. Sales and marketing in the actual stores are performed by the sales teams who have been specifically trained in the sale and service fields. In addition, Laline provides special offers at the stores (advertised at the points of sale) and holds special sales events (Valentine's, holidays etc.).

Laline's marketing activity in Israel consists, among others, of advertising on television, advertising in the written press, in magazines, in billboards and in shopping malls and stores, operating a website, collaborating with various commercial companies, internet campaigns, partnering with retailers in offering coupons, operating the Dream Card customer loyalty club, promoting and maintaining the various brand pages on social media etc. The marketing activities, their nature and scope vary from time to time and are determined at Laline's management's discretion.

From time to time, Laline looks into opening new stores once new commercial centers are erected in attractive locations or when an opportunity arises for opening a store in a city where Laline does not have an active store. Laline's management also periodically examines the profitability of its existing branches in order to make decisions regarding branch reduction.

Laline's products are marketed to customers through directly operated stores abroad using a retail chain managed and operated by Laline.

Laline's stores in Canada are located in leading shopping malls and centers and designed with a unique and uniform concept that is occasionally updated and adapted to Laline's marketing targets. In-store sales and marketing are performed by the sales teams who are trained in sales and servicing. Laline also promotes special sales in stores (advertising in POSs, special offers for Valentine's, holidays etc.). b. Pricing of Laline's products

Laline's products have uniform prices that are determined by Laline for all products once a year. The pricelist states the final consumer selling price (including VAT) ("Laline's pricelist"). Laline's pricelist applies to products sold in directly operated stores in Israel and serves as a base price before discount for institutional buyers, directly operated stores overseas and Laline's foreign franchisees.

- 46 - c. Marketing and direct sales in the stores managed and operated by Laline in Israel

Sales are made directly by Laline to the end consumer through store managers and employees. As of December 31, 2018, Laline manages and operates 111 stores in all parts of the country, mainly in commercial centers.

The rental periods in the rental agreements for Laline's stores do not share a common feature. The agreement period varies but most of the agreements include an option for a unilateral extension by Laline (the lessee). Simultaneously with the rental agreements, management agreements are signed with the commercial centers' management companies.

Given the large number of stores operated by Laline, it does not deem any of the agreements to be material.

Customer loyalty club

On January 1, 2014, Laline joined the Company's consolidated customer loyalty club, Dream Card, which encompasses several of the Group's brands. For details of the club, see paragraph 3.1.5(a) above.

Laline holds a database which contains customer data and is managed pursuant to the provisions of the Protection of Privacy Law, as specified in paragraph 3.2.15 below. d. Sales and marketing through institutional buyers in Israel

Laline sells its products to several institutional entities around Israel. The engagement is generally signed with large workers' committees, members' clubs and credit card companies. These engagements are usually signed in advance and in bulk quantities right before holidays and special events chosen by the buyer. e. Sales and marketing abroad

Laline entered into franchise agreements with foreign companies which grant the franchisees an exclusive, limited and non-transferrable license for distributing and reselling Laline's products in the relevant countries and the right to use the Laline brand name as well as other brand names and trademarks owned by Laline. The franchisees bear all the costs relating to transport, insurance, taxes, customs etc. as well as costs relating to construction, operation and advertising of the chain in the relevant territory. In most cases, the franchise is granted for retail sales only.

- 47 -

As of December 31, 2018, Laline has entered into agreements with the following foreign franchisees:

California, USA

On March 25, 2010, Laline signed an agreement with a US franchisee which is a company controlled by Zemach Holdings LLC for setting up a chain of stores in north California, USA ("the US franchisee"). According to an addendum to the agreement from late 2012, the territory was reduced to North California bay area only. The US franchisee will locate and prepare the leasehold properties in which the stores will be opened at its expense and operate the chain using a professional brand manager and a local team. The US franchisee will bear all the set up and operation costs.

As of December 31, 2018, the US franchisee has three stores in San Francisco, USA.

Japan and Hawaii

On September 4, 2010, Laline signed an agreement with a franchisee in Japan ("the Japanese franchisee") for setting up a store chain in Japan. The Japanese franchisee will locate and prepare the leasehold properties in which the stores will be opened at its expense and operate the chain using a professional brand manager and a local team. The Japanese franchisee will bear all the set up and operation costs. On December 10, 2010, the trademark was registered in Japan.

As of December 31, 2018, the Japanese franchisee has opened 31 stores, of which 28 in various cities in Japan and three in Hawaii, USA.

In March 2016, the Company and the Japanese franchisee signed an extension of the agreement for a period of ten years until January 1, 2026 with an option for a target- contingent extension for another ten years until January 1, 2036. In May 2016, the Japanese corporation, TSI Holdings Co., acquired 70% of the interests in the Japanese franchisee. The Japanese franchisee, owned by the new partner, intends to expand Laline's operations in Japan in 2019.

Directly operated stores abroad

As of December 31, 2018, Laline, through wholly controlled subsidiaries, operates six stores in Canada and one store in Barcelona, Spain. Laline entered into an agreement for opening another store in Canada, expected for 2019.

In December 2017, Laline closed the Times Square store in Manhattan, NYC in return for a removal fee of US$ 1.6 million.

Laline occasionally examines the prospects of opening new stores in Canada with the opening of new shopping centers in prime locations or of opening stores in cities in which it has no market presence. Laline's management periodically analyzes existing store profits to make decisions regarding closing stores that are not profitable.

- 48 -

3.2.6 Order backlog

The institutional customers may purchase Laline's products by making advance bulk orders or on an ongoing basis based on their specific needs. Laline's foreign franchisees order the products they need from Laline based on actual sales volumes, as encouraged by Laline and with the franchisee's approval.

3.2.7 Competition

The competition in the aromatic bath and body care industry is great and versatile. There are many entities, including manufacturers, importers, department stores, pharm chains, special retail chains and private stores that compete with Laline's activities in this segment.

Laline's largest competitors in its segment include the pharm networks such as Super Pharm and Be, department stores such as Hamashbir, and niche retail chains such as Sabon, The Body Shop and L'Occitane.

Laline's management does not have data regarding the scope of the Israeli aromatic bath and body care market but compared to the special retail chains, pharm chains and national department stores, it is estimated that Laline is one of the leading players in this market in Israel. Although the pharm chains and department stores market aromatic and body care products, there are material differences in the method of marketing, display and sale compared to Laline. While these chains sell the products separately in several departments around the store's area (which is usually hundreds and sometimes thousands of sq. m. in space), Laline's stores are uniformly decorated to provide a clean and intimate look & feel. Laline's stores are all designed in white wood and the products are displayed in groups according to categories. Each store has a toiletry station for the customers' personal experimentation with the various products. The stores' sales teams have been trained to provide each customer professional personalized consulting on relevant products. The ambiance in Laline's stores, along with the scents of candles and soaps, is very relaxing and calm.

See a discussion of the positive factors that promote Laline's competitive edge in paragraph 3.2.1(e) above.

- 49 -

3.2.8 Seasonality

Laline's revenues are affected by seasonality, mainly depending on the timing of the holiday seasons.

3.2.9 Production capacity

The vast majority of Laline's products are manufactured on an ongoing basis throughout the year by several suppliers in Israel and therefore there is no material limitation imposed on Laline's production capacity.

Laline is constantly acting to recruit new suppliers on the one hand and monitor the manufacturing and quality control of the products manufactured by existing suppliers on the other.

3.2.10 Quality control

Laline exercises several quality control levels for its products both for controlling production processes in suppliers' factories and for controlling the quality of products manufactured by them. Quality control in Israeli factories is performed from time to time through inspections by the supplier's internal QA functions and via an active product development and quality control administration and regulation practiced from time to time. There is a quality control function in China which is managed by the Group's representatives in China through control agents who inspect the product after it is manufactured, inspect the quality of the merchandise and deliver a detailed report to Laline's HQ for approval. The first phase of quality control commences with the receipt of a prototype from the suppliers which is based on the product file prepared by Laline's product development department at Laline's HQ with the desired product specs. The preliminary examination inspects the quality of raw materials, product packaging and product quality compared to purpose (in body care products - texture, scent, feel and tests of outcome) by Laline's product development department. Laline is part of the Group's customer service division that is in charge of providing an adequate response for each application made by consumers regarding purchases of faulty products. In addition, faulty goods that are recalled from the branches are fed into the system and the data are used when needed based on specific cutoffs such as product type or flaw.

3.2.11 Fixed assets and facilities

a. General

Laline does not own any real estate properties and its activities (offices, warehouses and stores) are performed on leased real estate. In order to secure rental agreements, Laline provided the lessors of the stores in which it operates bank guarantees in a total of NIS 2,600 thousand as of December 31, 2018 and in a total of NIS 2,075 thousand and US$ 1,460 thousand as of December 31, 2017. The dollar guarantee had been provided to the lessor of the NYC store and was returned to Laline on January 18, 2018.

b. Offices and logistic warehouse

From November 2008, Laline subleases a building at Airport City from the Company. The sublease agreement was signed with the approval of the lessor under the same commercial terms as those in the Company's rent agreement pro rata to Laline's share of the leasehold (see details in Notes 20b(2) and 20b(4) to the financial statements, respectively).

- 51 -

In November 2008, in addition to the rent agreement, Laline signed an agreement for the use of equipment and infrastructures, use of investments made by the Company in the leasehold and use of other services in the building including maintenance of joint utility systems such as electricity and air conditioning, cleaning of joint spaces, joint security services, fire detection systems etc. c.

As of December 31, 2018, Laline rents 111 stores across Israel, most of which in shopping malls and commercial centers. The rental terms for each store are determined in negotiations between Laline and the lessors. The rental period lasts from one year to ten years. The initial rental period in most rental agreements is between three and five years. In addition, in most rental agreements, Laline has an option for extension of the rental period by additional periods of 1-15 years. The rental fees for most stores are calculated as the higher of a fixed percentage of proceeds or a fixed amount and are mostly linked to the Israeli CPI.

- 52 -

3.2.12 Intangible assets

Trademarks

Laline's policy is to achieve proprietary protection over its various trademarks and brand names and it is therefore acting to have them registered in its name in Israel and worldwide. Laline's signature brands in Israel are closely identified with it and represent its main trademarks. They are imprinted on Laline's products and ad campaigns as a means of recognizing and differentiating Laline's products and attributing value to Laline and its products.

As of December 31, 2018, Laline owns three trademarks registered in Israel. Laline also owns 29 trademarks registered in the EU, the United States, Asia and in other countries. Applications have been filed in other countries for registering the Company's trademarks in those countries. The Israeli trademarks are valid for a period of ten years. Laline occasionally extends the validity of its registered trademarks as necessary.

3.2.13 Suppliers

a. General

As of December 31, 2018, Laline has outstanding engagements for purchasing merchandise in an amount of approximately NIS 26.5 million compared with NIS 19.0 million in 2017.

b. Suppliers

Laline has several main suppliers in Israel which manufacture the products ordered by it. Laline pays the suppliers and subcontractors for manufacturing the products at different credit terms without collateral, all based on the negotiations between the parties and in keeping with economic considerations.

Laline engages with several suppliers simultaneously on a regular basis, which contributes to diversification of acquisitions, another reduction in the dependency on a specific supplier and potential reduction in acquisition costs.

Laline has no dependency on a single material supplier since it possess all knowhow related to product development and production planning, however, due to size considerations (purchase costs and production volume), Laline produces about 38% of production at one manufacturer. Yet, as mentioned, production of any of the products can be transferred from one manufacturer to another. This process could last about nine months including the license.

Laline is constantly acting to recruit new suppliers on the one hand and monitor the manufacturing and quality control of the products manufactured by existing suppliers on the other.

- 54 -

The following table specifies the percentage of purchases of finished goods out of total purchases of finished goods made by Laline according to main suppliers and subcontractors:

2018 2017 % of % of purchases purchases out of total out of total Scope of finished Scope of finished purchases goods purchases goods Country (NIS'000) purchased Country (NIS'000) purchased Supplier A Israel 30,179 ~ 38.0% Israel 21,561 ~ 39.0% Supplier B Israel 6,787 ~ 8.6% Israel 5,425 ~ 10.0% Supplier C Israel 5,857 ~ 7.4% Israel 4,879 ~ 9.0%

3.2.14 Working capital

a. Policy of holding inventories of finished products

Laline holds inventories of finished products for the supply of its products for an average period of about three-four months based on the following considerations: (1) past experience; (2) future sales forecasts in relation to existing inventories, opening new stores, changes in customer preferences etc.; and (3) product supply time (usually three- four months from date of order). The inability to foresee future demands for products might expose Laline to high inventory levels. Laline's products have a long shelf life which allows holding inventories in the long term.

In 2018 and 2017, inventory days were 100 and 88, respectively.

b. Inventory data (NIS in thousands)

31.12.2018 31.12.2017 Finished goods 24,086 14,386

These issuers pay Laline the consideration for the transactions less a discount at current + 30-45 day terms.

Sales to wholesalers and sales to others in Israel are generally performed at average credit terms of current + up to 60 days.

In the year ended December 31, 2018, the weighted credit granted by Laline to customers totaled about 27 days compared to about 29 days last year.

In view of Mr. Wizel's understanding and experience in marketing and sales, his contribution to the development and innovation of new products and to the Group's advertising and PR efforts is considerable.

3.3.7 Business strategy and targets

The Group's strategy relies on its evidenced strengths: its market position as Israel's leading fashion retail chain, its nationwide widespread store deployment in leading shopping malls and shopping centers, the shopping experience it offers its customers, its well-established customer loyalty club, its efficient and independent logistic system, its financial stability, its ability to identify and utilize opportunities in the retail market, its acquisitions and/or development of additional brands in Israel and abroad, mainly in the Group's core segments (fashion, footwear and lifestyle), and extensive retail management knowhow.

The Group's main targets focus on maintaining the Group's financial stability and strength and enhancing and improving its operations and profits, among others by improving the competitiveness of the Company and its investees and by constantly examining prospective business opportunities, acquisitions and/or development of additional activities and brands in Israel and abroad (mainly in the Group's core operating segments - fashion, footwear and lifestyle).

The Group's management intends to continue taking measures for positioning itself in Israel as a top retail group with a diversity of leading brands. In order to minimize the effects of changes and trends on the Group's operating segments, the Group takes the following steps, among others:

- The Group continuously adapts and customizes the majority of its products to the changing fashion trends, retains attractive and competitive prices and invests in advertising and building the unique identity of its brands.

- The Group performs periodic examination of appropriate opportunities for enhancing the variety of chains and brands owned by it.

- The Group acts to strengthen its customers' loyalty using the Group's customer loyalty program and its exclusive credit card.

- The Group acts to enhance its competitive edge, including by operating an exclusive multi-brand retail website.

- The Group also performs structured processes of analyzing and drawing conclusions in order to constantly improve the design, purchasing and procurement activities, adopt advanced marketing strategies, improve terms of rental agreements and optimize logistic and distribution processes.

The Group's management aims to continue operating to reinforce its positioning in international markets by opening directly operated stores or franchises for selling brands which management considers to have the potential of succeeding in these markets.

- 65 -

The Group's management is also taking steps to reinforce Laline's position in international markets and in 2018 opened six Laline stores in leading commercial centers in Toronto, Canada. Laline's continued expansion into the international markets of Europe, North America and the Far East will be examined from time to time and determined based on the relevant business plans, the expansion potential and the operating results of the existing stores in the international markets.

The Group's management is currently collaborating with the global Nike Group based on a franchise agreement to develop a retail chain of Nike stores in leading commercial centers in Canada through Retailors, currently focusing on Toronto for 2018-2019. The continued expansion into additional locations will be decided based on the relevant business plans, the expansion potential and the operating results of the existing stores in the international markets.

The Group's management is also acting to enhance its position in the growing online retail market through its website, Terminal-X, which sells a large variety of the Group's brands and numerous other international brands, including the Group's private Terminal-X brand, online. The Company aims to become Israel's fashion and lifestyle retail website of choice for local consumers.

The Company's management has identified the business expansion potential of launching its own credit card, Dream Card VIP, for its customer club members, in collaboration with Leumi Card. This activity allows the Company to further enhance its customer relations and expand its income sources.

In keeping with the Group's strategy of increasing the variety of its chains and brands, the Company acquired the Shilav brand name, a leading brand in the local baby clothing and toy market. The Company plans to harvest its extensive accumulated retail knowhow and experience for benefiting from the synergies between the companies.

The Company's management headquarters provides support for the investees' managements as part of the mindset that investees are likely to benefit from the Company's/Group's skilled and experienced personnel and means.

The targets discussed above consist of forward-looking information as defined in the Israel Securities Law and as such they are largely based on the Company's expectations and estimates regarding future economic, social and other developments and their mutual effects. The Company has no certainty that it will be able to realize these vision and goals since they are inherently based on factors that are not under the Company's control.

3.3.9 Discussion of risk factors

The Company's activities are subject to the following risk factors:

Macro risks

a. General overview

See paragraph 2.2 above.

b. The political-security situation

See paragraph 2.2 above.

c. Political and economic changes in foreign markets

See paragraph 2.2 above.

d. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations

See paragraph 2.2 above.

e. Changes in interest and CPI

See paragraph 2.2 above.

f. Disruptions in seaports

See paragraph 2.2 above.

g. The market's position and changes in the standard of living

See paragraph 2.2 above.

Segment risks

a. Manufacturing restrictions and economic-political changes in countries of Far East and Southeast Asia

See paragraph 2.2 above.

b. The fashion industry and the competition therein

See paragraph 2.2 above.

c. Employment terms

See paragraph 2.2 above.

- 68 - d. Increase in customs duty rates

See paragraph 2.2 above. e. Exposure to climate and weather changes

The Company plans its activities based on the different seasons (mainly winter and summer collections). Accordingly, uncharacteristic climate changes in the seasons might reduce the Company's sales and increase surplus inventories in those seasons. f. Credit risks

The Group's revenues derive from a larger number of customers in Israel and abroad. The majority of sales are made in cash or credit. A large part of customer debts derive from sales to foreign franchisees. g. Exposure to high inventory levels

Miscalculation of future demands might expose the Company the high inventory levels. The inability to foresee demands for products might leave the Group with surplus inventories. h. Rental fees

The Group operates in leasehold properties in shopping malls and commercial centers. Structural changes in the nature of operations of such markets or of the Group in respect of these markets are liable to affect the amounts paid by the Group as rental fees and therefore have a material impact on its operating results. i. Cyber risks

The Group manages its operations both through physical locations (stores, HW offices and logistic centers) and online. The Group's operations rely on internal interfacing IT and communication systems that connect all the Group's sites. The Group also has databases that contain sensitive customer data and other confidential information. The cyber risks facing the Group include potential damage to inter-site communications, system shutdown or disruption, database damage or theft (which will expose the Company to potential lawsuits) and leakage of the Group's sensitive business information. In 2018, the Group purchased cyber risk protection insurance and concurrently applies controls and defenses to minimize cyber related risks, including license management, password protection and antivirus and backup systems.

- 69 -

Group specific risks a. Dependency on key personnel

Mr. Harel Wizel, the Company's CEO, is a key individual in the Group. In the event that he ceases to serve in the Company, this will adversely affect the Group's revenues and profits, see paragraph 3.3.1 above. b. Exposure to the stability of the grantors of franchises/cancellation of franchise agreement

The Company is exposed to the economic and market stability of the grantors of franchises (AE, Children's, Mango, Nike and Urban). A significant deterioration in their economic or market conditions could have a considerable effect on the Company in the short term. It should be noted that such risk has never materialized and, judging by past circumstances of similar global retail groups, brand franchisees that experience financial difficulties are normally replaced by new franchisees. Although the Company's operations have yet to expose it to such occurrence, also given that franchisors have a very limited and predetermined right of cancelling franchise agreements in the event of material breach of the agreement, default or change in control in the Company, the Company's ability to purchase new franchises mitigates its exposure to loss of franchisors of specific brands.
