Independent Auditors’ Report
 
The Board of Directors
Tecnoenergy SRL
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Tecnoenergy SRL (hereinafter the "Company") as of December 31, 2012, and the related statement of comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the related notes to the financial statements.
 
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”); this includes the fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Auditors’ Responsibility
 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
 
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 
Qualification
 
As discussed in Note 2(A) to the financial statements, the Company has not presented prior period comparatives because such comparatives are not required by Rule 3-05 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. In our opinion, disclosure of comparatives is required by International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Opinion
 
In our opinion, except of as mentioned above, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Tecnoenergy SRL as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the IASB. The Company does not present comparable figures as required under IFRS. Such Comparatives are not required by Rule 3-05 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X.

 
2.

C.
Functional and presentation currency

 
1.
These financial statements are presented in Euro which is the Company's functional currency, and have been rounded to the nearest thousand. The Euro is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Company operates.

 
2.
Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency:

Transactions denominated in foreign currency (other than the functional currency) are recorded on initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the end of each reporting period into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or carried to equity in hedging transactions, are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

 
3.
For the convenience of the reader, the reported Euro figures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and as of and for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 have been presented in thousands of U.S. Dollars translated at the representative rate of exchange as of June 28, 2013 (Euro 1 = U.S. Dollar 1.305). The U.S. Dollar (hereinafter—$) amounts presented in these financial statements should not be construed as representing amounts receivable or payable in U.S. Dollars or convertible into U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

D.           Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash at hand, and unrestricted short-term deposits with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition, that are redeemable on demand without penalty and that form part of the Company's cash management. Cash and cash equivalents value is as provided by bank statements and due to the short maturity approximates the fair value.

E.           Property, plant and equipment

(1)           Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment items are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Project licenses for 21 years are included in the cost of photovoltaic plants.

(2) 
Depreciation

Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. The depreciable amount is the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

An asset is depreciated from the date it is ready for use, meaning the date it reaches the location and condition required for it to operate in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of the fixed asset item, as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The estimated useful life of Photovoltaic plants in Italy is 21 years.

Depreciation methods and, useful life are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized. The asset's residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

 
F. 
Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of the carrying amount of non-financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable. If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. In measuring value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

An impairment loss of an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Reversal of an impairment loss, as above, shall not be increased above the lower of the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years and its recoverable amount. The reversal of impairment loss of an asset presented at cost is recognized in profit or loss.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

G.           Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured according to the fair value of the consideration that was received and/or the consideration the Company is entitled to receive from the sale of electricity in the ordinary course of business.

Revenues from the sale of electricity are recognized when the units of power produced are transferred to the power company at connection points on the basis of a counter reading.

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.

H.           Income tax

Income tax comprises of current and deferred taxes. The tax results in respect of current or deferred taxes are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) except to the extent that the tax arises from items which are recognized directly in equity. In such cases, the tax effect is also recognized in the relevant item in equity.

Deferred income taxes are computed in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes, except for a limited number of exceptions.

Temporary differences (such as carry forward losses) for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized are reassessed and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that their recoverability has become probable. Any resulting reduction or reversal is recognized in the line item, "tax benefit (taxes on income)".

Deferred tax balances are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the taxes are reversed in profit or loss, comprehensive income or equity, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

I.             Financial income and expenses

Financial income includes interest income on bank deposits, exchange rate differences. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss.

Financial expenses include bank charges and exchange rate differences.

Gains and losses on exchange rate differences are reported on a net basis.

J.             Provisions

A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are measured according to the estimated future cash flows discounted using a pre-tax interest rate that reflects the market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, those risks specific to the liability.

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 
A.
The PV Plant is operated under an Operation and Maintenance Agreement (an "O&M Agreement"), which governs the operation and maintenance of the photovoltaic plant by the respective Contractor.

 
B.
The PV Plant has a number of ancillary agreements, including:

 
*
Standard "incentive agreements" with Gestoredei Servizi Elettrici ("GSE"), Italy's energy regulation agency responsible, inter-alia, for incentivizing and developing renewable energy sources in Italy and purchasing energy and re-selling it on the electricity market. The incentive agreement had entered into prior to connection of the EPC Project to the Italian national grid. Under such agreement, it is anticipated that GSE will grant the applicable feed-in tariff governing the purchase of electricity.

 
*
One or more "power purchase agreements" with GSE, specifying the power output to be purchased by GSE for resale and the consideration in respect thereof.

 
*
One or more "interconnection agreements" with the Enel Distribuzione S.p.A ("ENEL"), the Italian national electricity grid operator, which provide the terms and conditions for the connection to the Italian national grid.

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (cont’d)

 
C.
Legal proceedings:

The permit granted to Tecnoenergy 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 permit was issued in breach of the laws regulating the right to build PV plants on agricultural lands thus making the 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 Tecnoenergy's permit, and therefore the pending proceedings against Tecnoenergy are in the final stages of the formal renunciation process.
 
Note 7 - Transactions and Balances with Related Parties

As of June 26, 2013, ("Closing Date") the date on which the Company was acquired by Ellomay Luxembourg, the balance referred to a loan from Solibra GMBH, of approximately 15.7 million Euros. The interest rate applied to such loan was Euro Libor 12 months + 8%. The maturity date of the loan is on demand. Following the Closing Date, the loan was transformed into shareholders’ loan towards Ellomay Luxembourg bearing an interest rate of 6 months Euro Libor + 5.15%. The loan agreement is for 5 years; however, it can be repaid on demand of Ellomay Luxembourg.

The Operation and Maintenance Contractor of Soleco is Solibra System Montage GmbH ("Solibra Montage"). As of December 31, 2012 and until June 26, 2013, Solibra Montage was a sister company of Tecnoenergy.
