Ellomay Capital Ltd. and its Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements


Note 1 – General

 
A.
Reporting entity

Ellomay Capital Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Company") (formerly: NUR Macroprinters Ltd.), an Israeli Company in the business of energy and infrastructure and its operations currently mainly include production of renewable and clean energy. The Company owns thirteen photovoltaic plants that are connected to their respective national grids and operating as follows: (i) twelve photovoltaic plants in Italy with an aggregate nominal capacity of approximately 22.6 MWp and (ii) 85% of one photovoltaic plant in Spain with a nominal capacity of approximately 2.275 MWp. In addition, the Company indirectly owns 7.5% of Dorad Energy Ltd. (and an option to increase its indirect holdings in Dorad under certain conditions to 9.375%).
 
The Company’s current plan of operation is to operate its Italian and Spanish PV plants, to manage its holdings in the Israeli market and to continue to identify and evaluate additional suitable business opportunities in the energy and infrastructure fields, including in the renewable energy field, through the direct or indirect investment in power producing plants, the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise.
 
The securities of the Company are listed on the NYSE MKT (under the symbol “ELLO”) and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (under the symbol “ELOM”). The address of the Company’s registered office is 9 Rothschild Blvd., Tel Aviv, Israel.

 
B.
Significant events in the reporting period

On June 26, 2013, the Company consummated the acquisition of two photovoltaic plants with fixed technology in the Veneto Region, Italy (Northern Italy) (hereinafter – the “Veneto PV Plants”). The final consideration paid for the Veneto PV Plants and the related licenses was approximately 23.5 million Euros (approximately $30.6 million). The Veneto PV Plants were purchased under insolvency proceedings. The Company performed a preliminary analysis of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and a preliminary and provisional purchase price allocation and recorded gain on bargain purchase (negative goodwill) in the amount of approximately $10.2 million based upon management’s best estimate of the value as a result of such preliminary analysis. Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s share in the fair value of acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of an acquisition. The provisional amounts recognized may be adjusted during the 12 month period following the acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3 as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information on the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. Therefore, actual amounts recorded upon the finalization of the valuation may differ materially from the information presented in this release. See also Note 6.

Note 2 – Basis of Preparation

 
A.
Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the period of 6 months ended June 30, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012 (hereinafter – “the annual financial statements”).
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 25, 2013.

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

Note 2 – Basis of Preparation (cont'd)

 
B.
Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the principal assumptions used in the estimation of uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements, except as described below:
 
 
·
Purchase price allocation - the Company is required to allocate the purchase price of investment in an investee to the assets and liabilities of this investee, on the basis of its estimated fair value. This valuation requires management to use significant estimates and assumptions that involve uncertainty, therefore actual results may be different.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described below in Items (A) and (B), the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its annual financial statements.

Presented hereunder is a description of the changes in accounting policies that were applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and their effect:

 
A. 
Initial implementation of standards

 
(1). 
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (hereinafter – “IFRS 10”)
IFRS 10 replaces the requirements of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”) and the requirements of SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“SIC 12”) with respect to the consolidation of financial statements, so that the requirements of IAS 27 will continue to be valid only for separate financial statements. IFRS 10 introduces a new single control model for determining whether an investor controls an investee and should therefore consolidate it. This model is implemented with respect to all investees. According to the model, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with that investee, has the ability to affect those returns through its power over that investee and there is a link between power and returns. The application of IFRS 10 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

 
(2). 
IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, IAS 28 (2011), Investments in Associates (hereinafter – “IFRS 11”)
IFRS 11 replaces the requirements of IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures ("IAS 31") and amends part of the requirements in IAS 28 Investments in Associates. IFRS 11 defines a joint arrangement as an arrangement over which two or more parties have joint control (as defined in IFRS 10). Joint arrangements are divided into two types: a joint operation and a joint venture on the basis of the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. Joint ventures, which are all the joint arrangements structured in a separate vehicle in which the parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement, shall only be accounted for using the equity method (the option to apply the proportionate consolidation method has been eliminated). The Company continues to implement the equity method for its investment in investees and thus there is no effect on the Company’s assets, liabilities or comprehensive income.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements


Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

 
 (3). 
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (hereinafter – “IFRS 13”)
IFRS 13 replaces the fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs with a single source of fair value measurement guidance. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and sets out disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not introduce new requirements to measure assets or liabilities at fair value. The standard’s requirements were included as part of Note 10 regarding financial instruments.

 
(4). 
Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (hereinafter – “the IAS 1 Amendment”)
The IAS 1 Amendment changes the presentation of items of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) in the financial statements, so that items of OCI that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future would be presented separately from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss. The application of IAS 1 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

 
B. 
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

 
(1). 
Amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (“hereinafter – the IAS 32Amendment”)
The IAS 32 Amendment clarifies that an entity currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off amounts that were recognized if that right is not contingent on a future event; and it is enforceable both in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all its counterparties. The IAS 32 Amendment is applicable retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Early application of the IAS 32 Amendment is permitted subject to the concurrent application of amendment to IFRS 7.

 
(2). 
IFRS 9 (2010),Financial Instruments (hereinafter – “IFRS 9 (2010)”)
IFRS 9 (2010) is one of the stages in a comprehensive project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("IAS 39") and it replaces the requirements included in IAS 39 regarding the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.
In accordance with IFRS 9 (2010), there are two principal categories for measuring financial assets: amortized cost and fair value, with the basis of classification for debt instruments being the entity’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. IFRS 9 (2010) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015 but may be applied earlier. The Company is examining the effects of applying IFRS 9 (2010) on the financial statements and has no plans for early application.

 
(3). 
IFRS 9 (2013), Financial Instruments, amendments to IFRS 9 (2010), IFRS 7 and IAS 39 (hereinafter – “IFRS 9 (2013)”)
IFRS 9 (2013) amends IFRS 9 (2010), IFRS 7 and IAS 39 on general hedge accounting. Under IFRS 9 (2013), additional hedging strategies that are used for risk management will qualify for hedge accounting (such as risk components of non-financial items or groups of items that constitute net positions). IFRS 9 (2013) replaces the present 80%-125% test for determining hedge effectiveness, with the requirement that there be an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, with no quantitative threshold. In addition, IFRS 9 (2013) introduces new models that are alternatives to hedge accounting as regards exposures and certain contracts outside the scope of IFRS 9 (2013). IFRS 9 (2013) sets new principles for accounting for hedging instruments, for example allowing cash instruments to be hedging instruments in more cases and adding the possibility to defer or amortize the “cost of hedging” (such as the time value of purchased options). In addition, IFRS 9 (2013) provides new disclosure requirements. The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 (2013) has not yet been determined. Early application is permitted subject to the conditions specified in IFRS 9 (2013).

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements


Note 4 - Seasonality

Solar power production has a seasonal cycle due to its dependency on the direct and indirect sunlight and the effect the amount of sunlight has on the output of energy produced. Thus, low radiation levels during the winter months decrease power production.

Note 5 – Operating Segments

The Company's chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviews internal management reports on a consolidated basis. The Company has only one strategic business unit.

Note 6 – Acquisitions of Subsidiaries

        Business combination during the period

On June 26, 2013, the Company consummated the acquisition of two photovoltaic plants with fixed technology in the Veneto Region, Italy (Northern Italy), with an aggregate capacity of approximately 12MWp. The Veneto PV Plants which constitute a business are fully constructed and operating and were connected to the Italian national grid in August 2011 under the applicable Feed-in-Tariff (0.238 Euro/kWh). The final consideration paid for the Veneto PV Plants and the related licenses was approximately 23.5 million Euros (approximately $30.6 million). The Veneto PV Plants were purchased under insolvency proceedings.
 
The results presented in the interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) do not include the results of the Veneto PV Plants, as the closing date of the acquisition was in near proximity to the balance sheet date. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2013, management estimates that consolidated revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 would have been $7,548 thousand and consolidated profit for the same period would have been $13,553 thousand.

The Company performed a preliminary analysis of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and a preliminary and provisional purchase price allocation and recorded gain on bargain purchase (negative goodwill) in the amount of approximately $10.2 million based upon management’s best estimate of the value as a result of such preliminary analysis. Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s share in the fair value of acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of an acquisition. The provisional amounts recognized may be adjusted during the 12 month period following the acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3 as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information on the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. Therefore, actual amounts recorded upon the finalization of the valuation may differ materially from the amount recorded  in this condensed consolidation interim financial statements.

Note 8 -  Contingent Liabilities

A detailed description of the Company's contingent liabilities is provided in note 13D to the annual financial statements. Presented hereunder are the changes in the Company's contingent liabilities:

Legal proceedings-

 
1.
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 ($ 829 thousand as of June 30, 2013). 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. The plaintiff's filed a motion with the Court to strike the Company’s Statement of Defense, which was rejected. The plaintiff's filed a motion to appeal to the Supreme Court. That motion was rejected in July 2010. In October 2012, the district court rendered its ruling and rejected the plaintiff’s claims in their entirety. In November 2012 an appeal was filed in the Supreme Court by the plaintiff. Written summaries will be submitted by the plaintiffs and by the defendants by September 2013 and November 4, 2013, respectively, and the plaintiffs may submit a response to the defendants' summaries by December 2013. A hearing has been scheduled at the Supreme Court for March 5, 2014. Based on management's estimation and the assessment of its legal counsel, no provision was recorded with respect to this claim.

 
2. 
The Autorizzazione Unica (hereinafter – the "AU Permit") required to commence constructions in relation to renewable energy plants granted to the Veneto PV Plants was the object of a claim filed on November 2, 2010 before the administrative Court of the Veneto region by Federazione Coldiretti del Veneto (i.e. a farmer organization, hereinafter “Coldiretti”) and the owner of a land neighboring to the Veneto Plants. The plaintiffs claimed that the AU permit was issued in breach of the laws regulating the right to build PV plants on agricultural lands thus making the AU permit illegitimate. A similar claim filed by Coldiretti against another plant built in the same area was dismissed by the administrative Court. Coldiretti has recently waived his claims against the Veneto PV Plants AU permit, and therefore the pending proceedings against Veneto PV Sites are in the final stages of the formal renunciation process.

The option to purchase additional shares of Dori Energy is measured based on its fair value in every reported period and changes are recorded as finance income or expenses. As of June 31, 2013 the fair value of the option is $ 2,929 thousand and recorded as financial asset in long-tem assets. The revaluation of the option was recognized as financial income in the amount of $ 2,444 thousand and resulted mainly from increased forecasted electricity sale to private customers versus electricity sale to the grid manager.

Note 11 - Subsequent Events

 
1.
On July 29, 2013 the Knesset passed the Budget Law and the Arrangements Law for 2013-2014. As part of the legislation Company Tax was increased to 26.5% as from January 1, 2014. The increased tax rate did not affect the financial statements.

 
2.
On July 17, 2013 the Company entered a loan agreement with Erez Electricity Ltd. ("Erez Electricity") that owns among its other holdings  24% of the pumped storage project in the Gilboa, Israel ("PSP Gilboa") pursuant to which an amount of approximately NIS 770 thousand ($ 213 thousand) was lent to Erez Electricity. Subsequently in November 2013 in connection with the sale of Erez Electricity's holdings in PSP to third parties, the Company and Erez Electricity reached an agreement according to which the Company is entitled to the repayment of the amount lent including interests accrued and linkage, amounting to approximately NIS 1,000 thousand ($ 276 thousand) and to additional compensation in the aggregate amount of NIS 6,700 thousand ($ 1852 thousand) which will be linked to the Israeli CPI and will be paid in 2 installments of approximately NIS 1,200 thousand ($ 332 thousand) on financial closing of PSP Gilboa and NIS 5,500 thousand ($ 1,520 thousand) upon receipt of permanent licenses for generation of power and the approval of the technical advisor appointed by the financial institutions who have financed PSP Gilboa to the transfer from set up phase to operational phase.

 
3.
In July 2013, a new remunerative regime (RDL 9/2013) was announced in Spain establishing the basis of the new remuneration scheme applicable to renewable energies that will provide the owner a defined yield currently estimated to be calculated as 10-year government bonds plus 300 basis points.  The new regulation includes: (i) the proceeds for the sale of electricity according to market price, (ii) an "investment retribution" enough to cover the investment costs of a so-called “standard facility” – provided that such costs are not fully recoverable through the sale of energy in the market and (iii) an "operational retribution" enough to cover the difference, if any, between the operational income and costs of a standard plant that participates in the market. The definition of what constitutes a “standard facility” as well as the rest of the elements included in this new regulation and its relevant calculation formula are expected to be included in a future Spanish Royal Decree to be approved by the Spanish Government in early 2014. This new regulation may impact the profitability of the Company's PV plant in Spain. In consequence, under IAS 10 on 'Events after the reporting period', its potential impacts should be considered after the closing of the reporting period of June 30, 2013. As the elements and calculation formula have not yet been published, based on information available at the date of issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with the analysis performed by the Company, management has concluded that the analysis carried out do not indicate an impairment in the carrying amount of assets related to solar electricity generation activity in Spain.
