NOTE 1:-
GENERAL

 
a.
Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the "Company") (formerly: NUR Macroprinters Ltd.), an Israeli Company which has invested a portion of its funds in the photovoltaic industry in Italy and whose current plan of operations is to expand its investments in the renewable energy field and to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives in other fields, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise.
 
In each of March and June 2010, the Company entered into Engineering Procurement & Construction Contracts with an Italian contractor, for the design, supply, construction, assembly and commissioning of four photovoltaic plants expected to produce approximately 750KWp each, to be located in Italy, for an aggregate cost of approximately € 10.1 million ($ 12,400 as of June 30, 2010). Additional ancillary expenses are expected to amount to approximately € 0.35 million ($ 430 as of June 30, 2010). Following the commissioning of the four photovoltaic plants, it is intended that the contractor shall operate and maintain the photovoltaic power plants, for an annual fee, and an annual fee shall also be paid to the owners of the land under the land rights use agreements executed.  In connection with these projects, the Company operates via designated wholly owned subsidiaries in Luxemburg and Italy that were incorporated in 2010.
 
 
b.
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. On February 29, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), the sale of this business to Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP” and the “HP Transaction”) was finalized. Prior to the Closing Date, 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 and some of which have been dissolved during 2008. Other inactive subsidiaries were dissolved during 2009 and 2010.
 
The aggregate consideration received in connection with the HP Transaction amounted to $ 122,600. Of the total consideration, an amount of $ 500 was withheld in connection with one of the subsidiaries that were sold to HP obligations with respect to the government grants, and an amount of $ 14,500 was deposited into an escrow account to secure the indemnity obligations of the Company and its remaining subsidiaries. The amount deposited in the escrow account, net of amounts distributed to HP in satisfaction of indemnity obligations, was 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 from the escrow account in the aggregate amounts of $ 8,094 and € 2,415 thousand. The claims included in the officer's certificates mainly referred to payments HP made to the Israeli Office of 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.

On July 27, 2010, a settlement agreement between the Company and HP with respect to the release of funds deposited in the escrow account (the “Settlement Agreement”) was executed. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement HP received $ 7,300 of the escrow funds (plus accrued interest) and the Company received $ 7,200 of the escrow funds (plus accrued interest). In addition, HP released to the Company the amount of $ 500 that was withheld in connection with the obligations of one of the subsidiaries that were sold to HP with respect to Government grants.

As such, the Company recorded the amount released from the escrow account pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, net of related costs (approximately $7,200), as income from discontinued operations during the six month period ended June 30, 2010.

In addition, the parties to the Settlement Agreement agreed to waive any current and future claims against each other and further agreed that the Company will not be responsible for any future claims with respect to the HP Transaction and the assets acquired thereunder.

Following the execution of the Settlement Agreement the Company paid and expects to pay additional payments to former employees as bonuses and in connection with the repurchase of employee stock options, all as previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors.  The Company increased its provision for such payments during the six month period ended June 30, 2010.
 
 
c.
The operating results and cash flows attributed to the digital wide format and super-wide format printing system business were presented in the Company's statements of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations. Balance sheet amounts related to this business are presented as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations and are expected to be settled in one to two years
 
 The following table sets forth the income from discontinued operations in the amount of $ 7,166 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 (Unaudited):

NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, as follows:

 
a.
Unaudited interim financial information:
 
The accompanying unaudited interim 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 the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2010, consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company 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, 2009 included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 10, 2010. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

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.
 
 
d.
Reclassifications:
 
Certain financial statement data for prior years has been reclassified to conform to current year financial statement presentation.
 
NOTE 3:-       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

In connection with the establishment of the Company’s photovoltaic plants, the Company had recorded, as of June 30, 2010, property and equipment aggregating approximately $ 3,014, in accordance with milestones set in the Engineering Procurement & Construction Contracts with the contractor. As such, this amount was not yet subject to depreciation, which commences upon completion of construction of the plants.
 
NOTE 4:-       CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

 
Legal proceedings:

 
a.
During 2008, a former employee of a subsidiary filed a lawsuit against the Company in the amount of $ 322.5 alleging the Company did 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 negotiated 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 on April 3, 2009 to withdraw his claim. The former employee is within his rights to re-launch his claim in this matter.

 
b.
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 subsidiary in Hong Kong will be required to pay the amount ruled against the subsidiary in China. Therefore, no provision was recorded with respect to this claim.

c.
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 in Hong Kong will be required to pay the amount ruled against it in China. Therefore, no provision was recorded with respect to this claim.

 
d.
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 counterclaim 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.

 
e.
In December 2003, a client of a subsidiary filed a lawsuit alleging that a machine purchased by it failed to perform. This lawsuit was launched as a counterclaim to lawsuit filed by the subsidiary for the collection of unpaid outstanding invoices. The customer sought reimbursement of the purchase price paid by it in the amount of $ 290. In January 2010 the court dismissed the suit. On May 15, 2010, a settlement agreement was reached between the client and the Company, according to which the Company is entitled to receive an aggregate consideration of approximately $ 216 to be received in installments. The settlement is included within income from discontinued operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2010.
 
 
f.
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 ($ 774 as of June 30, 2010). 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 Ellomay’s statement of defense, which was rejected. The plaintiff filed an appeal to the Supreme Court. That motion was rejected in July 2010. A pre-trial was scheduled for September 5, 2010, which mainly involved technical procedures. Based on management's estimation and the opinion of its legal counsel, no provision was recorded with respect to this claim.
 
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.
