The format adopted in this publication gives the main data relating to banks' activities on one page, to enable their profitability, balance-sheet balances, financial ratios and main development trends for the relevant period to be reviewed at a glance. This is not intended to make a thorough reading of the financial statements unnecessary, as a banking corporation's activities may include very significant data or events, which are not reflected in this format. |
| 2 |
All the data are included explicitly in the financial statements, or can be derived from them via simple calculations, as will be explained below. |
| Presentation of the data |

In each chapter the data are further divided into two groups according to the basis of their published financial statements, i.e.: |

- Data on a consolidated basis. |
| |
- Data on an individual bank basis (unconsolidated). |
| |
For a banking corporation which published data on a consolidated basis, no data on an individual bank basis (unconsolidated) are shown. |

| |
The bank's share in the whole system |
| Total Banking System |
| 5.1 |
Banks whose data are shown on a consolidated basis are included in the whole system on a consolidated basis, and banks whose data are shown on an individual bank basis are included in the whole system on an individual bank basis |
| |
5.1.1 |
The banks' and mortage banks whole system is defined as the sum of all the commercial banks excluding: |
| |
|
Atzmauth Mortgage and Development Bank Ltd |
| |
Bank Massad Ltd |
| |
Bank "Yahav" Le-Ovdei Hamdina Ltd |
| |
Discount Mortgage Bank Ltd |
| |
Israel Continental Bank Ltd |
| |
Leumi Mortgage Bank Ltd |
| |
Mercantile Discount Bank Ltd |
| |
Otsar Hahayal Bank Ltd |
| |
Poalei Agudat Israel Bank Ltd |
| |
"Tefahot" Israel Mortgage Bank Ltd |
| |
The First International Mortgage Bank Ltd |
| |
|
The data of these banks are not included, because those of the parent bank in each case are shown on a consolidated basis, so that they are included indirectly in the summary. |
| |
|
Note: Data on these banks are also shown in this publication, as a result of the system adopted, if the balances ;separately of all the banks covered in the publication were included, balances exceeding that of the whole system would be obtained. |
| |
5.1.2 |
The item Total Banking System does not include financial institutions and the merchant bank, and their share in the banking system is not calculated. |
| |
|
The share of merchant banks and the rest of the financial institutions in the total banking system is not calculated, but they are included indirectly as their parent banks |
| |
5.1.3 |
The share of the bank or banking group in the summary profit and loss statement is calculated only for banks showing a profit, as the concept of the share in profit has no meaning in the case of a bank making a loss. In calculating the total profit of the banking system (in the denominator) only banks making a profit are taken into account. In the figures for the total banking system losses are also taken into account. |
| |
5.1.4 |
In the items Cash and deposits in banks and Deposits from banks the figure is calculated for the whole banking system (on a consolidated basis) after offsetting deposits of banks in other banks in the same group. For the parent bank of a banking group the share of the banking group or bank in these items is calculated as the share of this total. In contrast, for every bank belonging to a banking group (and appearing in the list in section 5.1.1 above) the share of the banking group or bank in these items in the whole banking system is calculated on a bank basis (not offset). In the item Cash and deposits in banks the total for the banking system on a bank basis on 30 June 2004 was NIS 138,132 million, and on 31 December 2003 it was NIS 149,729 million. In the item Deposits from banks the total for the banking system on a bank basis on 30 June 2004 was NIS 64,016 million, and on 31 December 2003 it was NIS 58,427 million. |
| 5.2 |
Rate of income from (expenses on) assets (liabilities); The balances used to |
| |
calculate the rate of income (expenses) are averages of opening monthly balances of assets (liabilities) on which the income was earned (financing expenses were incurred). In theunindexed local-currency segment the average balances are based on daily balances. |
| 5.3 |
Excess of financial assets over financial liabilities; The excess (deficiency) of assets over liabilities on the balance-sheet date in each of the indexation segments, |
| |
excluding the effect of ALM derivatives and financial options. If liabilities exceed assets ina particular indexation segment, the difference is shown as a negative amount. |
| 5.4 |
Problem debt Defined as "indebtedness under special supervision, an overdue debt, a rescheduled debt or one which it has been decided to reschedule but the rescheduling has not yet been implemented, a non-performing debt, or a debt which is considered doubtful, either in part or in total." Credit covered by recognized collateral for the purposes of the limitation on a borrower is not deducted from problem debts. The data for the mortgage banks include loans for which a special loan-loss provision was made according to the depth of the arrears. |
