NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: GENERAL

  a. Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) (formerly: NUR Macroprinters Ltd.), an Israeli Company, is a shell company whose current plan of operations is to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise. Until February 29, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries developed, manufactured, sold and provided support services for digital wide format and super-wide format printing systems for on-demand, short-run printing as well as related consumable products.

  Until February 29, 2008, the Company operated through wholly-owned subsidiaries for sales, support services and marketing of the Company’s products in their country or region of domicile, some of which were sold to Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”) and some of which have been dissolved during 2008. Such entities include NUR Europe S.A. (“NUR Europe”) in Belgium (sold to HP), NUR America, Inc. (“NUR America”) in the U.S. (dissolved in 2008), NUR Asia Pacific Limited (“NUR Asia Pacific”) in Hong Kong, NUR Do Brazil Ltda. (“NUR Brazil”) in Brazil (sold to HP) and NUR Japan Ltd. (“NUR Japan”) in Japan (sold to HP).

  b. On February 29, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), the sale of the Company’s business to HP (the “HP Transaction”) was finalized. The aggregate consideration in connection with the HP Transaction amounted to $ 122,600. Of the total consideration, an amount of $ 500 was withheld in connection with NUR Europe’s obligations with respect to government grants, and $ 14,500 was deposited into an escrow account to secure the indemnity obligations of the Company and its remaining subsidiaries. The escrow funds, net of amounts distributed to HP in satisfaction of indemnity obligations, are to be distributed to the Company in two installments: $ 9,500 were to be distributed eighteen months following the Closing Date and $ 5,000 are to be distributed twenty-four months following the Closing Date.

  In August 2009 the Company received two officer’s certificates from HP requesting the release of funds in the aggregate amounts of $ 8,094 and Euro 2,415 thousand from the escrow funds. The claims included in the officer’s certificates mainly refer to payments HP made to the Israeli Office of the Chief Scientist (“OCS”) in connection with the transfer of technology claimed to have been developed with OCS funding, claims made by suppliers and alleged non-compliance with different environmental and safety regulations.

  The Company is currently reviewing the claims and preparing its response. At this stage it is premature to estimate the outcome and scope of indemnification to be paid to HP, if any, and therefore the escrow funds were not recorded as a receivable and were excluded from the calculation of the capital gain.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles, as follows:

  a. Unaudited Interim Financial Information

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2009, our consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 and our consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009.

  The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2009. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

  Unless otherwise noted, all references to “dollars” or “$” are to United States dollars.

  b. Use of estimates:

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

  c. Principles of consolidation:

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

  d. Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

  In April 2009, the FASB issued related staff positions: FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”), and FSP No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107” and “APB 28-1”), which are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.

  FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under SFAS 157 in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains an exit price. If a company concludes that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity of an asset or liability in relation to normal market activities, quoted market values may not be representative of fair value and the company may conclude that a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques is appropriate. FSP 107 and APB 28-1 enhance the disclosure of instruments under the scope of SFAS 157 for both interim and annual periods. The adoption of these FSPs did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

  In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.

  e. Subsequent events:

  The Company has evaluated all subsequent events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2009 through September 30, 2009, the date of these financial statements issuance.

NOTE 3: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

  a. Legal proceedings:

  1. During 2008, a former employee of a subsidiary filed a lawsuit against the Company in the amount of $ 322.5 alleging the Company did not provide him with the appropriate amount of time to exercise his stock options following the termination of the applicable blackout period. The Company and the former employee are negotiating a settlement proposal by which the Company undertakes to pay an amount of $ 33 and this amount shall be considered as the gross, exhaustive and final consideration paid to the former employee. A provision was recorded in the amount offered. Although the parties did not arrive to a settlement, the former employee chose on the hearing held on April 3, 2009 to withdraw his claim. The former employee is within his rights to re-launch his claim in this matter.

NOTE 3: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Cont.)

  2. During 2002, an end-user filed a lawsuit in China against a subsidiary alleging bad quality of products. The court ruled that the subsidiary should reimburse the client with the amount of $ 186. Following an appeal filed by the subsidiary, the court ruled in September 2003 in favor of the end-user. The subsidiary is in the process of liquidation and has no assets; therefore the plaintiff has no remedy against the subsidiary.

  The customer may elect to start new proceedings against another subsidiary operating in Hong Kong. However, to date, the customer has not filed any claim in Hong Kong. Based on management’s estimation and the opinion of its legal counsel, it is less than likely that the second subsidiary will be required to pay the amount ruled against the subsidiary in China. Therefore, no provision was recorded with respect to this claim.

  3. During 2002, a client filed a lawsuit in China against a subsidiary seeking reimbursement in the amount of $ 400 alleging bad quality of products. In July 2005, the court ruled that the subsidiary is to reimburse the client an amount of $ 286. The subsidiary no longer operates in China and under current law the ruling in China is not enforceable in Hong Kong. The subsidiary notified the customer in March 2006 that it intends to vigorously defend its claims if submitted to court in Hong Kong. To date, the customer has not filed any claim in Hong Kong. Based on management’s estimation and the opinion of its legal counsel, it is less than likely that the subsidiary will be required to pay the amount ruled against it in China. Therefore, no provision was recorded with respect to this claim.

  4. In September 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit against a former distributor of the Company, for the collection of unpaid invoices in the amount of $ 420. In February 2004, the former distributor filed a statement of defense denying the Company’s claims and it also filed a counter-claim for alleged damages caused to it by the Company in the amount of $ 210. Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, management believes that the counter-claim that was filed by the former distributor is without merit and that a loss is not probable. Therefore, a provision was not recorded with respect to this claim.

  5. In December 2003, a client of a subsidiary filed a lawsuit alleging that a machine purchased by it failed to perform. The customer is seeking reimbursement of the purchase price paid by it in the amount of $ 290. Based on management’s estimation and the opinion of its legal counsel, a provision of $ 145 was recorded with respect to this claim.

  6. In May 2007, a former managing director of a subsidiary filed a lawsuit against the Company and two of its subsidiaries claiming his resignation was for just cause due to demotion and therefore should be deemed as a termination of his employment by the subsidiary. The Company denied all the claims made by the former employee. The ruling in favor of the Company was deemed final in March 2009 when the official time for appeal passed.

NOTE 3: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Cont.)

  7. In February 2007, a claim was filed against the Company and one of its former officers by a person claiming to have been an agent of the Company in West Africa for commissions on sales of printers. The claim is for NIS 3,000 thousand ($ 789). The Company filed a statement of defense denying all claims, both with respect to the causes of action and with respect to the factual allegations in the claim. Based on management’s estimation and the opinion of its legal counsel, no provision was recorded with respect to this claim.

  8. From time to time, the Company is party to other various legal proceedings, claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of business. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

  9. The Company has an outstanding indemnification obligation pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement with HP (see note 1b).

NOTE 4: INCOME TAXES

  As of June 30, 2009, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $ 4,930, which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rates in future periods. Included in that amount are accrued interest and penalties in respect to uncertain tax positions of $ 1,110 at June 30, 2009, of which $ 144 for interest and penalties expenses were recorded during 2009. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2009 was as follows:

Balance as of January 1, 2009     $ 4,584  
 Additions for prior year tax positions    144  
 Additions for current year tax position    202

Exhibit 99.2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our operating and financial review and prospects should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2009 and in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 31, 2009. Certain statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements.

Overview

        The sale of our wide-format printing business to Hewlett-Packard Company, or HP, and several of its subsidiaries, or the HP Transaction, was consummated on February 29, 2008, or the Closing Date. The aggregate consideration in connection with the HP Transaction amounted to $122.6 million. Of the total consideration, an amount of $0.5 million was withheld in connection with NUR Europe’s obligations with respect to government grants, and $14.5 million was deposited into an escrow account to secure the indemnity obligations of the Company and its remaining subsidiaries. The escrow funds, net of amounts distributed to HP in satisfaction of indemnity obligations, are to be distributed to the Company in two installments: $9.5 million were to be distributed eighteen months following the Closing Date and $5 million are to be distributed twenty-four months following the Closing Date.

        In August 2009 the Company received two officer’s certificates from HP requesting the release of funds in the aggregate amounts of approximately $8.1 million and Euro 2.4 million from the escrow funds. The claims included in the officer’s certificates mainly refer to payments HP made to the Israeli Office of the Chief Scientist, or OCS, in connection with the transfer of technology claimed to have been developed with OCS funding, claims made by suppliers and alleged non-compliance with different environmental and safety regulations.

        The Company is currently reviewing the claims and preparing its response. At this stage it is premature to estimate the outcome and scope of indemnification to be paid to HP, if any, and therefore the escrow funds were not recorded as a receivable and were excluded from the calculation of the capital gain.

        Our current plan of operation is to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise. Following the closing of the HP Transaction, we have ceased conducting any operating activity and substantially all of our assets consist of cash and cash equivalents. We now only conduct activities relating to our efforts to identify business opportunities and strategic alternatives, activities relating to the investment of our funds and activities relating to liquidating our non-operating subsidiaries.



        Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, our primary asset is cash and cash equivalents and our sole source of income is interest that such cash earns. As the HP Transaction was consummated on February 29, 2008, our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 include revenues from our wide-format printing business that were generated up to the closing of the HP Transaction.

        Therefore, the data presented in our interim consolidated financial statements and in our discussion below are not indicative of our future operating results or financial position.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

        Revenues. Revenues from product sales and services were $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $11.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

        The decrease in revenues of approximately $11.4 million was due to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

        Revenues-products. Revenues from sales of products were $0 in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $10.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

        The decrease in revenues from products of approximately $10.6 million was attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

        Revenues-services. Revenues from services rendered were $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $0.8 in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

        The decrease in revenues from services of approximately $0.8 million was attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

        Cost of revenues.  The cost of revenues was $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $11 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

        The decrease in the cost of revenue of approximately $11 million was attributed to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

        Cost of revenues-products.  Total cost of revenues-products was $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $8.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in the cost of revenues-products of approximately $8.1 million was attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

2



        Cost of revenues-services.  Cost of revenues-services was $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in the cost of revenues-services was attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

        Gross Profit. Gross Profit was $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009. The gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 0% in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 3.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The reduction in the gross margin is attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date. The low gross profit in the report for 2008 is attributable to the fact that only two months of activity are reflected in this report. As we only operated our business during the first two month of 2008, a higher percentage of expenses and a lower gross margin compared with a full quarter (or six months) of activity are reflected. Employee compensation costs related to the HP Transaction also reduced the gross margin.

        Expenses. Research and development costs were $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to approximately $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in research and development costs was attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

        Selling and marketing expenses were $0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

        General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date, and to the fact that expenses related to the sale of our printing business, especially compensation and termination costs to our employees, were included in the period ended June 30, 2008.

        Financial income decreased to approximately $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $6.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that amortization of the deferred interest in the amount of approximately $ 7.3 million following the full repayment of our loans in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 15 “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructuring” was included as financial income in the period ended June 30, 2008.

3



        Taxes. Taxes on income were approximately $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to taxes on income of approximately $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in taxes on income was mainly was attributable to the sale of our business to HP, the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008 and our lack of operations since such date.

Certain Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. While all the accounting policies impact the financial statements, certain policies may be viewed to be critical. These policies are most important for the fair portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and are those that require our management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, based upon information available at the time that they are made, historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        The critical accounting policies described in Item 5 in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009, are those that require management’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        We have incurred operating losses during the last five years. Following the consummation of the HP Transaction and the payment of some related liabilities (including repayment of our short and long-term debt), as of September 15, 2009, we hold approximately $76 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our current plan of operation is to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise. Although we now hold the consideration received from HP in connection with the sale of our business, we may need additional funds if we seek to acquire certain new businesses and operations. If we are unable to raise funds through public or private financing of debt or equity, we will be unable to fund certain business combinations that could ultimately improve our financial results. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We currently have no commitments for additional financing.

        Following the sale of our business to HP at the end of February 2008, we have only nominal operations and our cash balance is sufficient for our present requirements.

        We invest our excess cash in cash and cash equivalents that are highly liquid. At June 30, 2009 we had approximately $75.5 million of cash and cash equivalents compared with $78.4 at June 30, 2008.

Operating activities

        In the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had a net loss of $0.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1 million.

        In the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had net income of $86.1 million. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.7 million. Most of our assets were sold to HP and the cash generated from the sale is reflected in our net cash provided from investment activities.

        Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, we have ceased conducting any operating activity and substantially all of our assets consist of cash, cash equivalents and short term bank deposits. We now only conduct activities relating to attempting to locate business opportunities and strategic alternatives, activities relating to liquidating our non operating subsidiaries. We cannot at this point predict whether following the consummation of a business transaction we will have sufficient working capital in order to fund our operations.

Investing activities

        Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $49.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to proceeds from short term deposits that were invested in cash equivalents.

        Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $100.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to proceeds from the HP Transaction.

Financing activities

        Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0 million.

        Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $21.3 million, deriving primarily from repayments of short and long terms loans.

        As of June 30, 2009, our total current assets amounted to approximately $77.2 million, out of which $75.5 million was in cash and cash equivalents, compared with total current liabilities of approximately $1.5 million.

        As of June 30, 2008, our total current assets amounted to approximately $82.9 million, out of which $78.4 million was in cash and cash equivalents, compared with total current liabilities of approximately $8.4 million.

        The decrease in our cash balance and the reduction in our other current liabilities are mainly attributable to our genral and administrative expenses during the 12 month period ended June 30, 2009 and to expenses paid subsequent to June 30, 2008 in connection with the HP Transaction such as employee compensation and other transaction related expenses.

Disclosure about Market Risk

        Following the consummation of the HP Transaction in February 29, 2008, most of our assets are cash, cash equivalents and short term bank deposits, invested mostly in U.S. dollar-denominated deposits with U.S. banks which we carefully monitor with respect to their exposure to the current financial market situation. Other than that, the major market risk is currently the potential decline in the U.S. monetary interest rate that would impact our results of operations.
