Hakishor: The New Loan Replaces Short Debt, and the NIS 125 Million Deal Has Not Produced Cash
Hakishor advanced more in financing than in cash. A NIS 40.12 million bank loan replaced debt repaid in March, while the conditional NIS 125 million sale still has not produced consideration.
The previous Hakishor analysis framed the gap between project value and cash that is actually accessible to Levinski Ofer. The first quarter of 2026 did not close that gap. It gave the gap a new date: December 31, 2026, the maturity of the new loan on Hakishor 6. The NIS 40.12 million loan replaced debt that was repaid in March, the company's share is NIS 20.06 million, and it is supported by a broad collateral package rather than only by the property itself. On the sales side, the conditional NIS 125 million transaction still has not brought in consideration, some conditions were not met by the deadline, and the buyer has a cancellation right. Hakishor therefore looks less like a liquidity source this quarter and more like a development asset that still needs financing until it enters project financing, receives actual consideration, or is rolled again through property-backed debt. The next proof point is no longer the existence of a large Holon project. It is who funds it through year end, and when cash starts reaching the company.
The New Loan Solved March and Moved the Debt to December
The important update in Hakishor is not the mere existence of a loan. For a small real estate developer, property-backed debt is a normal part of the model, especially before project-finance accompaniment begins. The unusual point is the timing and the collateral breadth: the new loan was taken on March 30, 2026, replaced a previous loan of the same amount that was repaid that month, and the principal maturity is December 31, 2026. The March debt did not disappear. It moved to the end of the year.
The company and Panmera hold the property in equal parts, so each borrower is economically responsible for 50%. The company's share of the loan is about NIS 20.06 million. The interest rate is prime plus 1.5%, and the effective interest rate presented was 7.19%. The loan has no major financial covenants, which helps short-term debt management. The legal structure is less comfortable: the credit is not limited to the asset alone, and the collateral includes a first-ranking unlimited mortgage over the property, charges over project rights, project accounts, rights against the sellers of the property, lease rights, future rights, and cash that may arrive from buyers or tenants.
The broader clause matters: any collateral provided by the borrowers or Migdal Hakishor to the bank to secure other credit also secures this loan, and the collateral also secures other credit the bank has provided or may provide to the borrowers or Migdal Hakishor. In other words, the bank is not funding only a development option. It wraps the project with rights, accounts, and future cash flows, and ensures that its other credit also benefits from that collateral layer.
| Hakishor item | What exists now | What is still missing |
|---|---|---|
| Hakishor 6 loan | NIS 40.12 million, company share 50%, maturity on December 31, 2026 | Replacement by project financing or another rollover before maturity |
| Collateral | First-ranking mortgage, charges over project rights, accounts, and future cash flows | Free cash that does not depend on additional collateral |
| Conditional sale | Stated consideration of NIS 125 million for commercial, storage, and parking areas | Satisfaction of conditions, removal of cancellation risk, or payment of consideration |
| Project status | Cumulative book cost of NIS 46.026 million for the company's share | Significant marketing, project financing, and execution that create sources |
The NIS 125 Million Deal Validates Potential Before It Funds the Project
The project itself advanced only partially. Cumulative book cost for the company's share reached NIS 46.026 million, compared with NIS 45.086 million at the end of 2025. The quarterly increase is not dramatic, and mainly reflects continued carrying of land, planning, and financing costs. Significant project marketing has not yet started.
The conditional third-party transaction explains why Hakishor remains a material asset: a sale of about 6,700 square meters of commercial and storage areas, plus basements that include about 304 parking spaces and storage areas, for total consideration of NIS 125 million. That is a meaningful amount relative to the cost accumulated in the company's share, and it gives some validation to demand and use value in the project.
The decisive cash detail sits in the conditions. Some conditions were not met by the deadline, the buyer has a right to cancel the transaction, and no consideration has been paid to the sellers. The transaction is therefore not a 2026 cash source unless conditions are met or collection begins. It supports Hakishor's value story, but it cannot replace the new loan, the need for project financing, or the refinancing plan.
That is the main difference between value and liquidity in a development company. A property with a large conditional transaction can look close to monetization, but if consideration has not been paid and the buyer can leave the deal, the company still has to fund the land, planning, financing costs, and transition to project financing. For a company with NIS 9.1 million of cash at the end of March and a NIS 95.6 million 12 month working capital deficit, that difference is not technical.
The Forecast Cash Flow Assumes Asset Rollovers, Not Free Hakishor Surplus
Hakishor also appears in the company's forecast cash flow, and that is where the limit of the progress is clear. The company assumes NIS 28.56 million of receipts or rollovers of loans secured by real estate in Beersheba and Holon between April and December 2026. That amount includes a loan whose balance at March 31, 2026 was about NIS 20 million for the company's share, secured by Hakishor real estate.
The meaning is straightforward: Hakishor does not appear as a free surplus source for the coming year, but as part of a mechanism of receiving or rolling property-backed loans. The company also expects to enter financial accompaniment during 2026 for the Karski, Hakishor, and Bnei Ayish projects, with the financing required for the projects, apart from equity, expected to come from the project-finance provider and sale proceeds. Opening project financing will occur only after the company secures the equity sources.
This is where Hakishor connects to the broader first-quarter picture without becoming a second company review. The August Series D maturity is backed by controlling shareholders for up to NIS 70 million, and Shinkin is expected to bring surplus cash. Hakishor is a different layer: an asset that can increase the company's value base, but currently requires a loan rollover, project financing, and the maturation of a conditional transaction. If those three move together, December 2026 will look like an orderly transition point. If the transaction is cancelled or project financing does not close, the new loan will look in hindsight like another bridge financing step added to the list of sources that must be renewed.
By Year End, Hakishor Needs Project Financing, Consideration, or Another Rollover
The current read on Hakishor is fairly sharp: in the first quarter, the project received financing time, not cash. The new loan removes the March repayment and lets the company keep advancing the asset, while the NIS 125 million transaction still indicates that the project has commercial value. Those two facts do not close the cash gap. By the end of 2026, the company needs at least one of three things: project financing that replaces the loan, actual consideration from the conditional transaction, or another rollover on terms that do not burden the rest of the cash sources. If none of these arrives, Hakishor will remain an asset with considerable potential, but not a liquidity source that helps the company move from a financing year to an execution year.
