Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2015

 
Note 1 – General

Ellomay Capital Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Company"), is an Israeli Company operating in the business of energy and infrastructure, and its operations currently mainly include production of renewable and clean energy. As of June 30,2015, the Company owns sixteen photovoltaic plants (each, a “PV Plant” and, together, the “PV Plants”) that are connected to their respective national grids and operating as follows: (i) twelve photovoltaic plants in Italy with an aggregate installed capacity of approximately 22.6 MWp, (ii) three photovoltaic plants in Spain with an aggregate installed capacity of approximately 5.6 MWp, and (iii) 85% of one photovoltaic plant in Spain with an installed capacity of approximately 2.3 MWp. In addition, the Company indirectly owns approximately 9.2% of Dorad Energy Ltd. (hereinafter - “Dorad”) and holds an option to increase its indirect holdings in Dorad under certain conditions to 9.375%.

The ordinary shares 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.

Note 2 - Basis of Preparation

A.           Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements 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, 2014 (hereinafter – “the annual financial statements”).

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue on December 3, 2015.

B.           Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs 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.
 
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the annual 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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2015

 
Note 5 - Impairment charges

Following the approval by the Italian parliament in August 2014 and the conversion into law of the Italian decree (the "Decree"), executed by the Italian President in June 2014, providing for a decrease in the Feed-in-Tariff ("FiT") guaranteed to existing photovoltaic plants with installed capacity of more than 200 kW ("Law 116/2014"), the Company examined as at June 30, 2014, in accordance with IAS 36, the recoverability of its photovoltaic plants in Italy and recognized an impairment loss of $ 574 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company reexamined the impairment charges recorded and determined to reverse the impairment charges due to changes in market conditions.

Note 6 - Investee Companies and Other Investments

Information about investee companies and other investments

U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (“Dori Energy”)-

The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ellomay Clean Energy Ltd. ("Ellomay Energy") entered into an Investment Agreement (the "Dori Investment Agreement") with Dori Group Ltd. ("Dori Group"), and Dori Energy, with respect to an investment in Dori Energy. Dori Energy holds 18.75% of the share capital of Dorad, which owns an approximate 800 MWp bi-fuel operated power plant in the vicinity of Ashkelon, Israel (the "power plant").

On May 12, 2014 Dorad was issued production licenses for 20 years and a supply license for one year and on May 19, 2014 Dorad began commercial operation of the power plant. In July 2015, Dorad was issued a long term supply license that will expire on May 11, 2034

During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company extended approximately $ 1,800 thousand subordinated shareholder loans to Dori Energy. The shareholder loans are linked to the Israeli CPI and bear an annual interest rate of 3% higher than the annual interest Dorad is committed to pay to Dorad's financing consortium during the financial period in respect of the "senior debt" (5.5% as at June 30, 2015, i.e., the annual interest rate on the shareholder loans was 8.5% as at June 30, 2015).

Dorad provided, through its shareholders at their proportionate holdings, additional guarantees in favor of the Public Utilities Authority - Electricity ("the Electricity Authority") in order to comply with its license conditions and as required by its agreement with Israel Electric Corporation. The Company's share of the total performance guarantees provided by Dorad amounts to approximately NIS 10.2 million (approximately $ 2.7 million).

On April 2015, the Company provided a notice of exercise of the first option to acquire additional share capital of Dori Energy. The first option is one of two options held by the Company in connection with its holdings in Dori Energy and was due to expire on May 19, 2015. The second option covers an additional 1% of Dori Energy's outstanding shares (i.e., an increase of the Company's holdings in Dori Energy to 50% and indirect holdings in Dorad to 9.375%) and is in effect until May 19, 2016.

Note 6 - Investee Companies and Other Investments (cont’d)

Information about investee companies (cont’d)

U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (“Dori Energy”) (cont’d)-
 
Following the exercise of this first option, the Company’s holdings in Dori Energy increased from 40% to 49% and the Company’s indirect ownership of Dorad increased from 7.5% to 9.1875%. In addition to the fair value of the option of approximately NIS 66 thousand (approximately $17 thousand), the aggregate amount paid by the Company in connection with the exercise of the first option amounted to approximately NIS 28,207 thousand (approximately $7,386 thousand) and includes the exercise price of NIS 21,600 thousand (approximately $5,656 thousand) and the amount of approximately NIS 6,607 thousand (approximately $1,730 thousand) required in order to realign the shareholders loans provided to Dori Energy by its shareholders with the new ownership structure.

As at the date of these financial statements, the Company has determined provisionally fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities and allocated the consideration mostly, but not solely, to costumers’ contracts and goodwill.

On August 6, 2015, the Israeli Public Utilities Authority – Electricity published for public hearing a decision decreasing the electricity rates and establishing the rate in respect of "system management service charges". On September 7, 2015 a decision was published reducing the electricity rates. According to this decision, the production tariff, based on which Dorad’s customers are charged and to which the price of the gas is linked, will be reduced by about 6.8% as from September 13, 2015.
 
Pumped Storage Projects (“PSP”) –

As discussed in note 6 to the annual financial statements, with respect to loan agreement with Erez Electricity Ltd. (“Erez Electricity”), in July 2014, following the financial closing of the pumped storage project in the Gliboa, Israel (“PSP Gilboa”), the Company received the first installment of NIS 1,200 thousand (approximately $ 349 thousand) in July 2014. The Company believes it will be entitled to receive also the second installment amounting to NIS 5,500 thousand (approximately $ 1,459 thousand). The Company recorded the aforementioned amounts as other income. The second installment is contingent upon receipt of permanent licenses for generation of power and the approval of the technical advisor appointed by the financial institutions that have financed PSP Gilboa to the transfer from set up phase to operational phase. As at June 30, 2015, the Company estimated the fair value of the second installment to be paid at approximately NIS 5,000 thousand (approximately $ 1,326 thousand) using a discounted cash flow model.

Fair value (cont’d)

(3)           Details regarding fair value measurement at Levels 2 and 3

Swap contracts – fair value is measured by discounting the future cash flows, over the period of the contract and using market interest rates appropriate for similar instruments, including the adjustment required for the parties’ credit risks.

Forward contracts – fair value measured on the basis of discounting the difference between the forward price in the contract and the current forward price for the residual period until redemption using market interest rates appropriate for similar instruments, including the adjustment required for the parties’ credit risks.

Other asset – refers to a receivable in connection with PSP Gilboa. The fair value is estimated according to the cash flows expected to be received in 4.5 years following the financial closing of PSP Gilboa, discounted at a weighted interest rate reflecting the credit risk of the debtor.
