Note: This period saw volatility in the price of crude oil and

the end of 2008. Until the Euro devaluation financial market crisis, Brent
crude oil was trading at a price of $85 a barrel. In May of this year, crude

Adjusted refining margin for Q2 2010 totaled USD/bbl 4.6,
compared with the average Mediterranean Ural Cracking Margin quoted by
Reuters of USD/bbl 3.5. Adjusted refining margin for Q2 2009 totaled USD/bbl
2.5 compared with the average Mediterranean Ural Cracking Margin of USD/bbl
1.4.
Adjusted consolidated EBITDA for Q2 2010 totaled $80 million
compared with $23 million in Q2 2009. The increase is attributed to the
improved margins in the refining and petrochemical segments of about $69
million, as well as an increase in sales of about $18 million. This was
offset by a decline in other revenues of about $12 million and a rise in
fixed costs of about $18 million.
Financing income for Q2 2010 totaled $4 million, compared with a
financing expense of $6 million in Q2 2009.
The consolidated net income for Q2 2010 totaled $32 million,
compared with a net loss of $8 million in Q2 2009.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
- Following the completion of the acquisition of Carmel Olefins (CAOL)
shares, the Company has consolidated the headquarters and operational
activities of CAOL with ORL and is pursuing a rapid achievement of the
merger benefits between the companies.
- In June, the company activated the second and final stage of
converting the HVGO desulphurization plant. Activation of Stage 2 is
expected to increase the Company's production of diesel fuel by an
additional 3-4%.
- Significant progress was made during the period in completing the
connection of the natural gas pipeline to the Company's facilities. This
project, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2010, will
enable all of the Company's facilities to run on natural gas and is
expected to yield operational efficiencies.
- As part of the company's strategic plan, carried out various projects
in the areas of the environment as well as the reliability, safety and
security of the facilities, totaling approximately $113 million.
- The company recently completed a financing agreement designated to
provide for the credit needs of the company until the end of 2012. The
financing agreement was signed between the Company and a consortium of
financing bodies led by Bank Hapoalim (totaling up to $600 million) and
an American financial institution, with financing guaranteed by the U.S.
Export Credit Agency (totaling up to $300 million).

Petrochemicals 31 - 55 14
Segment - Polymers

Segment - Lube-Oils
The utilization rate for the first half of 2010 was at 93.7%,
compared with 85% for same period in 2009. Quantity refined totaled 4,489
tons compared with 3,771 tons in the same period of the previous year. Output
in petrochemicals segment for the first half of 2010 was as follows:
Polymers, approximately 363 thousand tons; Aromatics, approximately 266
thousand tons; Lube-Oils, approximately 34 thousand tons.
Adjusted refining margin for the first half totaled USD/bbl 3.9,
compared with the average Mediterranean Ural Cracking Margin quoted by
Reuters of USD/bbl 3.5. Adjusted refining margin for 1H 2009 totaled USD/bbl
3.5 compared with the average Mediterranean Ural Cracking margin of USD/bbl
2.4.
Adjusted consolidated EBITDA for the first half totaled $113
million compared with $71 million in the same period of the previous year.
The increase is attributed to the improved margins in the refining and
petrochemical segments of about $72 million, as well as an increase in sales
of about $22 million. This was offset by a decline in other revenues of about
$14 million and a rise in costs of about $38 million. The rise in cost is
attributed to fluctuations in the exchange rate, one- off expenses and
changes in transport and energy costs.
Financing expenses for the first half totaled $8 million,
compared with a financing income of $9 million in the same period of the
previous year.
The consolidated net income for the first half totaled $29
million, compared with a net income of $67 million in the same period of the
previous year.
Mr. Yashar Ben Mordechai, CEO of Oil Refineries: "The flexibility
of ORL's facilities along with the investments made in the past two years to
improve the Company's production abilities and diversity are positively
impacting this quarter's results. This flexibility helps us maximize our
operational capabilities by enabling us to adjust our production to more
profitable sectors within our company at any given time and as needed.
Indeed, the increased integration of the petrochemicals sector along with the
finalization of our acquisition of CAOL is producing significant synergies.
In addition, improvements made, such as facility conversions and upgrades as
well as the activation of stage 2 of converting the HVGO desulphurization
plant, which has now been operational since June, are also contributing to
our results. We expect that stage 2 will contribute to overall margins of the
company's diesel fuel production by about 3 - 4% in total."
Mr. Ben Mordechai added: "With the arrival of the natural gas
pipeline, along with the establishment of the hydrocracker, which is expected
to be operational in mid-2012, the Company will become a leading player in
the area and will be able to leverage additional opportunities in global
markets
Mr. Yossi Rosen, Chairman of the Board of Oil Refineries:
"ORL's EBITDA and operating profit demonstrate the effectiveness of the
Company's strategic plan, which is based on upgrading the Company's
facilities and developing flexibility. This flexibility allows the company to
take advantage of rising opportunities while enabling it to weather market
volatility, all while yielding good results over time. The arrival of the
natural gas pipeline to Haifa Bay, expected later this year, will enable the
company to operate in a more environmentally sustainable way. Construction of
the hydrocracker is an important part of the Company's strategic plan and
will convert Oil Refineries into a unique and leading refinery in the area,
integrating the capabilities of its petrochemical industries with its
refining capability at a high level.
Mr. Rosen further added: "The $900 million financing package
for further investments as part of the Company's strategic plan was secured.
This package will finance the investment in the hydrocracker (expected to
cost $500 million), the refinancing of the Company's debt and the investments
in environmental and safety initiatives. This is the largest financing plan
implemented in the Israeli market and will help enhance the Company's
long-term sustainability."
