EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment no. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009 and Shell Company Report (the “Original Report”), of Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Registrant”) is being filed to include the auditors’ report of BDO Limited (formerly BDO McCabe Lo Limited) (“BDO”), which were the independent auditors of one of our subsidiaries until December 31, 2007.
 
The Original Report, filed by the Registrant on March 10, 2010, included BDO’s consent for the incorporation by reference of their audit report, dated June 26, 2008, in previously filed registration statements of the Registrant. However, the audit report itself was inadvertently omitted from the Original Report.  It should be noted that BDO’s report, dated June 26, 2008, was included in the Registrant’s Annual Reports for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008.
 
Other than as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not, and does not purport to, amend or restate any other information contained in the Original Report, nor does this Amendment reflect any events that have occurred after the Original Report was filed.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009
 
IN U. S. DOLLARS
 
INDEX


 
 
 
 
 
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
ELLOMAY CAPITAL LTD.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ellomay Capital Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income (operations), changes in shareholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of a consolidated subsidiary, whose revenues constitute 8% of total consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007. Those financial statements were audited by another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for this subsidiary, is based solely on the report of the other auditor.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditor provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditor, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and 2009 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2i to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740-10, Income Taxes (formerly, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes"), on January 1, 2007.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
NUR Asia Pacific Limited
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of NUR Asia Pacific Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NUR Asia Pacific Limited as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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. Refer to Note 14, Subsequent event, for transaction entered into in February 2010. Until February 29, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") 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 HP. 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). As of December 31, 2009 the Company wholly owns, directly and indirectly, several subsidiaries that are currently inactive, most of which are already in the process of being dissolved.

 
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 withheld in connection with NUR Europe's obligations with respect to the 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, were to be distributed to the Company in two installments: $ 9,500 was to be distributed eighteen months following the Closing Date and $ 5,000 was 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 $8,100 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 (the “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 replied and objected to the claims made in the two Officer's Certificates on October 21, 2009 declining the vast majority of HP's claims (the Company has agreed to release an amount of approximately $300 out of the escrow funds).

 
An additional officer’s certificate was sent by HP in January 2010 in which HP claims additional losses in the aggregate amount of approximately $2,900 in connection with further issues relating to non-compliance with safety regulations. With respect to the last Officer's Certificate, the Company rejects the claims made in the Officer's Certificate. The Company is of the position that since the due date for submitting an Officer's Certificate has passed, HP cannot attempt to raise new claims against the Escrow Funds.

 
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.

NOTE 1:-
GENERAL (Cont.)

 
As part of the Agreement, the Company agreed to change its corporate name. The Company's name was changed to Ellomay Capital Ltd. in April 2008. In addition, the Company agreed not to solicit any former employees who were transferred to HP or to engage in any business engaged directly in the same business as conducted by the Company at closing, both for a period of three years following the Closing Date.

 
In connection with the HP Transaction, the Company's Board of Directors approved the acceleration of the vesting of all outstanding employee stock options following the Closing Date and the repurchase, subject to the fulfillment of regulatory requirements, of the then outstanding employee stock options, representing, in the aggregate, rights to purchase approximately 9.9 million ordinary shares of the Company. The aggregate consideration for such employee stock options was approximately $ 3,800. Of the total aggregate consideration, approximately $ 3,100 was paid in July 2008 and an additional payment, up to the aggregate amount, will be calculated after all HP Transaction related issues and other financial aspects of the Company are known and verified and will be paid following the release of the funds deposited in escrow. The Company recorded an accrual in the amount of $ 414 with respect to its future liability, which is included within other long term liabilities.

 
Upon closing of the HP Transaction, the acceleration resulted in full recognition of the remaining unrecognized compensation costs of $ 2,187. The repurchase was accounted for as a settlement in accordance ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" and the amount paid in excess of the fair value of the options repurchased was recognized as additional compensation cost of $1,610 in the statements of income (operations).

 
In connection with the HP Transaction, the Company's Board of Directors also approved the payment of transaction bonuses to certain employees in the aggregate amount of approximately $ 700 and established that, subject to the aforementioned determination and verification of all transaction related issues and other financial aspects of the Company, additional bonuses may be paid to certain employees, based on criteria, amounts and percentages pre-determined by the Board. The amount of $ 700 was paid during 2008 and was recorded as expense. In addition, the Company recorded a liability for the additional transaction bonuses in the amount of $ 35.

 
As a result of the HP Transaction and the cessation of virtually all operations, a majority of the Company's employees that have not transferred to HP, including the majority of the Company's senior management, have been terminated by the Company. In connection with such terminations, the Company recorded severance-related expenses in 2008 in the approximate amount of $ 2,800.

 
In March 2008, following the consummation of the HP Transaction, the Company fully repaid its short-term debt to its lender banks (the "Banks") in the amount of $9,800. In April 2008, it fully repaid outstanding long-term debt to its banks in the amount of $12,100. In May 2008, a $ 5,000 subordinated note due to a related party was cancelled effective as of March 30, 2008. In connection with the cancellation of the subordinated note, the Company recognized a capital contribution of $ 5,000. Upon full repayment of the loans, the Company recognized the remaining balance of accrued interest on restructured debt as financial income of approximately $ 7,335.

NOTE 1:-
GENERAL (Cont.)

 
As the Company did not acquire a new operating business during the year ended December 31, 2009, the results of operations prior to the consummation of the sale of the business to HP are not reported as "discontinued operations" in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 360 "Property, Plant, and Equipment".

 
Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, the Company's primary asset is cash and cash equivalents and therefore, the sole source of income is the interest that such deposits earn. (See Note 14, Subsequent events)

NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

 
a.
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.

 
b.
Financial statements in U.S. dollars:
 
Following the HP Transaction, the Company's management believes that the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates is the U.S. dollar ("dollar"). Thus, the dollar is the reporting and functional currency of the Company and its remaining subsidiaries.

Therefore, transactions and balances that are denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been remeasured to dollars in accordance with ASC 830 "Foreign Currency Matters".

All foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the statements of income (operations) as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

Prior to the HP Transaction, for certain subsidiaries the functional currency was determined to be their local currency. For those subsidiaries, assets and liabilities were translated at year-end exchange rates and statement of income (operations) items were translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments were recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders' equity (deficiency).
 
 
c.
Principles of consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances, including profit from intercompany sales not yet realized outside the Group, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

d.
Cash equivalents:
 
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired.
 
 
e.
Short-term deposits:
 
Bank deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year are included in short-term deposits. Such short-term deposits are stated at cost which approximates market values.
 
 
f.
Reclassifications:
 
Certain amounts in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

 
g.
Property and equipment, net:
 
Property and equipment were stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation was calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:
 
 
%
   
Office furniture and equipment
6 - 33
Leasehold improvements
Over the shorter of the term of
the lease or the useful life

 
h.
Impairment of long-lived assets:
 
The Group's long-lived assets were reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 "Property, Plant, and Equipment". Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held for use is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During 2007, 2008 and 2009, no impairment losses were identified.

 
i.
Income taxes:
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 "Income Taxes". ASC 740 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be realized. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes"). The guidance contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income tax.
 
Upon adoption on January 1, 2007, the Group recorded $ 2,617 to accumulated deficit for uncertain tax positions which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. This amount includes accrued interest expenses and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefit as of that date.
 
 
j.
Concentrations of credit risk:
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits.

The majority of the Group's cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. dollar instruments with major banks in Israel and United States. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. However, management believes that such financial institutions are financially sound, and accordingly, low credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

The Group has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk.
 
 
k.
Severance pay:
 
The Company's liability for severance pay with respect to employees in Israel, which are not pursuant section 14 of the Severance Pay Law -1963, is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of each employee multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. Every month the Company makes payments equal to 8.33% of the employee’s salary, to various managers’ insurance policies or similar financial instruments. The Company records as an expense the increase in the severance liability, net of earnings (losses) from the the managers’ insurance policy. The Company's liability is partially provided by such monthly deposits and any unfunded amounts (due to increase in the employee’s salary over time, or losses incurred by the insurance policy fund that invests our deposits) would be paid from operating funds and are covered by a provision the Company records.

With respect to agreements with employees in Israel, pursuant to section 14 of the Severance Pay Law -1963, the Company's contributions for severance pay are instead of its severance liability. Upon fulfillment of the Company's obligation to make a monthly contribution to the managers’ insurance policies or similar financial instruments in the amount of 8.33% of the employee’s monthly salary, no additional payments must later be made to the employee regarding the matter of severance pay upon termination of the employment relationship. Further, the amounts deposited on behalf of such obligation are not stated in the balance sheet, as the Company is released from any further obligation towards the employee once they have been deposited.

Severance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 amounted to approximately $ 905, $ 2,900 and $ 43, respectively. The severance expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 are mainly attributed to the termination of certain of our employees and of a majority of our senior management in connection with the HP Transaction.
 
 
l.
Fair value of financial instruments:
 
 
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, and other accounts payable approximate their fair value, due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
 
 
m.
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share".

The total weighted average number of options and warrants excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings (loss) per share was 54,749,478, 7,393,004 and 41,718,840 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
 
 
n.
Fair value measurements
 
The Company measures their cash equivalents and short term deposits at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)
 
NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
 
 
Cash equivalents and short-term deposits are classified within level 2. This is because the Company values their cash equivalents and short term deposits using alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

 
o.
Accounting for stock-based compensation:
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation". ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated statements of income (operations).

The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted based on the straight line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures.

The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its stock-options awards and values restricted stock based on the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term.

Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements. The expected term of options granted is based upon historical experience and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends.

The fair value for options granted in 2007, 2008 and 2009 is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
 
   
Year ended December 31,

2008
    
2009

p.
Revenue recognition:
 
Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, the Company generated revenues from the sale of its printers, inks and consumable products and from services to its products. The Company generated revenues from sale of its products directly to end-users and indirectly through independent distributors.

Revenues from printer sales were recognized in accordance with ASC 605 "Revenue Recognition" upon installation, provided that the collection of the resulting receivable was probable, there was persuasive evidence of an arrangement, no significant obligations in respect of installation remained and the price was fixed or determinable. The Company did not grant a right of return.

Revenues from selling these products to independent distributors were deferred until the Company's products were installed in their customers' premises, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria were met.

When a sale involved multiple elements, such as sales of printers that include a right to receive specified upgrades or an extended warranty agreement, the entire fee from the arrangement was evaluated under ASC 605-25, "Multiple-Element Arrangements". In such arrangements, the Company accounted for the separate elements as different units of accounting, provided that the delivered element had value to the customer on a standalone basis and there was objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered element. In cases where there was no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered element, the Company accounted for the total arrangement as one unit of accounting. As such, the Company recognized revenue for the arrangement only when all revenue recognition criteria were met for the undelivered element.

The Company considered all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond the standard payment terms not to be fixed or determinable. If the fee was not fixed or determinable, revenue was recognized as payments become due from the customer, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Revenues from ink and other consumable products were generally recognized upon shipment assuming all other revenue recognition criteria were met.

Revenues from services were comprised of maintenance and support arrangements. Revenues from maintenance and support arrangements were recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement.

In cases where the Company traded-in old printers as part of sales of new printers, the fair value of the old printer was recorded as revenue, provided that such value could be determined. If such value could not be determined the old printers were recorded at zero value. The amount of revenues recognized for the transaction equaled the fair value of the old printer plus any monetary consideration received.

Deferred revenues included amounts received from customers for which revenue has not yet been recognized.

a.
Operating and capital lease commitments:
 
Prior to the HP Transaction, the Company and most of its subsidiaries rented their facilities under various operating lease agreements.

Following HP Transaction, most of the operating and capital lease commitments were assumed by HP (see Note 1b).  The Company has retained a lease of premises of its former US subsidiary, NUR America, which is fully sub-leased to a third party. In respect to our leased office space in Tel Aviv, the Company has the option to extend the lease until 2016.

The following table summarizes the remaining annual rental commitments as of the periods indicated under non-cancelable operating leases and sub-lease arrangements with initial or remaining terms of more than one year, reflecting the terms that were in effect as of December 31, 2009:

Litigation:
 
 
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 were negotiating a settlement proposal by which the Company undertook to pay an amount of approximately $ 33 and this amount was to 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 of April 3, 2009 to withdraw his claim. The former employee has a right to re-launch his claim in this matter.
 
 
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. In January 2010 the court dismissed the suit. The court's ruling may still be subject to an appeal by the client.

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.

 
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 ($ 795). 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.

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

The Ordinary shares of the Company were traded until May 2005 on the Nasdaq Capital Market. From May 19, 2005, the Company's Ordinary shares have been quoted over-the-counter in the "pink sheets".
 
On April 17, 2005, the Company's shareholders approved an increase of the Company's authorized Ordinary shares to 120,000,000 and an additional increase to 170,000,000 was approved on October 27, 2005.

Shareholders' rights:
 
Ordinary shares confer upon their holders voting rights, the right to receive dividends and the right to share in excess assets upon liquidation of the Company.
 
 
c.
On March 31, 2008 the principal shareholders, the Fortissimo entities, completed the sale of all of the shares and a majority of the warrants held by them to Kanir Joint Investments (2005) Limited Partnership, which was also previously a controlling shareholder of the Company and to S. Nechama Investments (2008) Ltd., which became a controlling shareholder of the Company as a result of the purchase from the Fortissimo entities and from several other shareholders.

 
d.
Stock Option Plans:

 
1.
In December 1998, the Company's shareholders approved the non-employee director stock option plan (the "1998 plan") according to which 250,000 options are available for grant with an exercise price of the average of the closing bid and sale price at the issuance date. Each option granted is vested immediately and expires after 10 years. Generally, the Company grants options under the plan with an exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. In January 2008 the Company's board of directors extended the 1998 Plan by an additional 10 years and the current expiration date of the 2000 Plan is December 8, 2018.
 
In August 2000, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan"). According to the 2000 Plan, 2,000,000 options may be granted to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Options usually vest over a three or four-year period. The exercise price of the options under the 2000 Plan is determined to be not less than 80% of the fair market value of the Company's Ordinary shares at the time of grant, and they usually expire after 10 years from the date of grant. In June 2008 the Company's board of directors extended the 2000 Plan by an additional 10 years and the current expiration date of the 2000 Plan is August 31, 2018. Generally, the Company granted options under the plan with an exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

Following increases in options reserved for issuance under the Company's 1998 and 2000 Plans, the Company reserved for issuance 750,000 and 17,724,590 Ordinary shares, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, 192,530 options are outstanding and 473,303 Ordinary shares are available for future grants under the 1998 Plan and 1,321,100 options are outstanding and 5,950,928 Ordinary shares are available for future grants under the 2000 Plan (the number of Ordinary shares available for issuance under the 2000 Plan was reduced by the number of Ordinary shares underlying options repurchased by the Company as more fully detailed in Note 1b). Options that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grant.

During 2008, in connection with the HP Transaction (see Note 1b), the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of the vesting of all outstanding employee stock options following the Closing Date and the repurchase, subject to the fulfillment of regulatory requirements, of the then outstanding employee stock options to purchase approximately 9.9 million Ordinary shares of the Company. The repurchase was completed in July 2008.

Any options not repurchased (due to their relatively high exercise price) were canceled during 2008 pursuant to their terms and the terms of the 2000 Plan.

During 2007, 2008 and 2009, the Company granted to directors 30,000, 43,333 and 45,863 options, respectively.

Corporate tax structure:
 
Taxable income of Israeli companies is subject to tax at the rate of, 29% in 2007, 27% in 2008, 26% in 2009, 25% in 2010, 24% in 2011, 23% in 2012, 22% in 2013, 21% in 2014, 20% in 2015 and 18% in 2016 and thereafter.

b.
Uncertain tax positions:
 
As of December 31, 2009, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $ 4,644 which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rates in future periods. Included in that amount are cumulative accrued interest and penalties in respect to uncertain tax positions of $ 1,026 at December 31, 2009, of which $ 60 for interest and penalties expenses were recorded during 2009.
 
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
 
   
2008
    
2009
  
             
    Beginning balance
   $ 3,618     $ 4,584  
    Additions for prior year tax positions
     318       60  
    Additions for current year tax position
     648       -  
                 
Ending balance
   $ 4,584     $ 4,644  

 
 
The amount of income taxes paid by the Group is subject to ongoing audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which often results in proposed assessments. Management performs a comprehensive review of its global tax positions on an annual basis and accrues amounts for contingent tax liabilities. Based on these reviews, the result of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities and the closure of tax years subject to tax audit, reserves are adjusted as necessary. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are determined or resolved. Additionally, the jurisdictions in which earnings and/or deductions are realized may differ from current expectations used as a basis for the above estimates. The Company does not expect that any tax audit would be completed within the next twelve months; therefore, the Company does not anticipate any significant impact on its unrecognized tax benefit balance in 2009. The Company has tax assessments that are considered to be final up to 2002.

The Group has provided valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax losses carryforward and other temporary differences. Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding all losses carryforward will not be utilized in the foreseeable future.
 
The net change in the valuation allowance in the year ended 31 December, 2009 in the amount of approximately $2,392 was mainly as a result of the change in the Israeli tax rate in future years.
 
 
f.
Carryforward tax losses and deductions:
 
As of December 31, 2009, Ellomay Capital Ltd. had available carryforward tax losses and deductions aggregating to approximately $ 31,000, which have no expiration date.

NUR Asia Pacific had available carryforward losses as of December 31, 2009 aggregating to approximately $ 2,000, which have no expiration date.

NUR Media Solutions had available carryforward losses as of December 31, 2009 aggregating to approximately $ 6,000, which have no expiration date.

Additional carryforward losses of NUR America and NUR Salsa, which are located in the U.S, amount to approximately $ 33,000. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986" and similar state provisions.  As NUR America and NUR Salsa were dissolved during 2008, once their 2008 tax assessments are deemed final, the remaining unutilized carryforward losses will expire.
