Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2014

 
Note 1 – General

Ellomay Capital Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Company"), is 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 sixteen photovoltaic 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 (see Note 11) and (iii) 85% of one photovoltaic plant in Spain with an installed capacity of approximately 2.3 MWp. In addition, the Company indirectly owns 7.5% of Dorad Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “Dorad”) (and an option to increase its indirect holdings in Dorad under certain conditions to 9.375%).

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.
 
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, 2013 (hereinafter – “the annual financial statements”).

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue on October 2, 2014.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in US Dollar.

As a result of the significant funds raised in Israel in the beginning of 2014 and the related currency interest rate swap transactions used to exchange the NIS denominated Series A Debentures notional principal with a Euro notional principal (see Note 8) together with the increasing influence of the Euro over the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and the increase in the Company’s holdings of photovoltaic operations in Italy and Spain, the Company has re-evaluated its functional currency. Consequently, management has determinate that the functional currency of the Company has changed from the US Dollar to the Euro with effect from January 1, 2014. The change of the Company’s functional currency has been accounted for prospectively in accordance with IAS 21 “The Effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and associates are measured using their functional currency. The Company elected the US dollar as its presentation currency.

Translation to presentation currency is as follow:
 
 
·
Assets and liabilities presented at the closing rate at the date of balance sheet.
 
 
·
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rate.
 
The resulting exchange different are recognized in a ‘presentation currency translation reserve’.

No reclassification to profit or loss of the ‘presentation currency translation reserve’ with respect to our Euro functional currency subsidiaries would be recognized upon their disposals.

Note 2 - Basis of Preparation (cont’d)

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.

Except as described below in Note 5, 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.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2014 management reassessed its estimates in respect of the recoverable amount of certain photovoltaic plants, see Note 5.

C.           Reclassification

Following the expansion of the Company’s activities during 2014, including the commencement of Dorad operation, during the current period the Company changed the comprehensive income statement classification of the Company’s investments results in its energy and infrastructure projects, so that the result of such investments is recorded within the operating results. Accordingly, the share of losses of investee accounted for under the equity method, re-evaluation of option to acquire additional shares in the investee and other related energy transactions (see note 9A(2)) is included within the Operating Profit. The Company believes that such change reflects more appropriately the Company’s operations as a holding company, operating in the business of energy and infrastructure. Comparative amounts were reclassified for consistency.
 
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described above in Note 2C, 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.

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 application of new standards

As from January 1, 2014 the Company applies the new standards and amendments described below:

Amendment to IAS 36, Impairment of Assets: Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
The amendment to IAS 36 includes new disclosure requirements for situations in which impairment is recognized and the recoverable amount is determined on the basis of fair value less costs of disposal. Furthermore, the amendment removes the requirement to provide disclosure of the recoverable amount of material cash-generating units if no impairment was recognized in their respect. The amendment to IAS 36 is applicable retrospectively. The application of the amendment to IAS 36 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

B.           New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 replaces the current guidance regarding recognition of revenues and presents a new model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 provides two approaches for recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model includes five steps for analyzing transactions so as to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. Furthermore, IFRS 15 provides new and more extensive disclosure requirements than those that exist under current guidance. IFRS 15 is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and earlier application is permitted. IFRS 15 includes various alternative transitional provisions, so that companies can choose between one of the following alternatives at initial application: full retrospective application, full retrospective application with practical expedients, or application as from the mandatory effective date, with an adjustment to the balance of retained earnings at that date in respect of transactions that are not yet complete.
 
The Company is examining the effects of IFRS 15 on the financial statements.

IFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments
A final version of the standard, which includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, and a new model for measuring impairment of financial assets. This guidance has been added to the chapter dealing with general hedge accounting requirements issued in 2013.

Classification and measurement-
In accordance with IFRS 9 (2014), there are three principal categories for measuring financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. The basis of classification for debt instruments is the entity’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments will be measured at fair value through profit and loss (unless the entity elected at initial recognition to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income).
 
IFRS 9 (2014) requires that changes in fair value of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss that are attributable to changes in its credit risk, should usually be recognized in other comprehensive income.

Hedge accounting – general
Under IFRS 9 (2014), additional hedging strategies that are used for risk management will qualify for hedge accounting. IFRS 9 (2014) 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 (2014) introduces new models that are alternatives to hedge accounting as regards credit exposures and certain contracts outside the scope of IFRS 9 (2014) and sets new principles for accounting for hedging instruments. In addition, IFRS 9 (2014) provides new disclosure requirements. IFRS 9 (2014) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption being permitted. It will be applied retrospectively with some exemptions.
 
The Company is examining the effects of IFRS 9 (2014) on the 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.

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, based on the information currently available to the Company (see Note 9 B). Since the book value of some of the photovoltaic plants exceeded their recoverable amount, the Company recognized in those cases an impairment loss during the reporting period which was attributed to the fixed assets comprising the photovoltaic plants.

The recoverable amount which is measured on the basis of fair value was estimated based on projected cash flows for the useful life of each photovoltaic plant , based on the alternative reducing the FiT for photovoltaic plants by 8% discounted at an after tax rate of 5.75%.

In the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 574 thousand.

Series A Debentures – Details

On January 13, 2014, the Company issued NIS 120M (approximately $ 34,404 thousand) principal amount of unsecured non-convertible Series A Debentures through a public offering that was limited to residents of Israel. The Series A Debentures are traded on the TASE (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange).

On June 19, 2014, the Company issued additional NIS 80.341M principal amount of Series A Debentures (approximately $ 23,222 thousand).

As at June 30, 2014 financial covenants were met (see Note 22 to the Company’s annual financial statements).

In order to minimize the currency risk resulting from Series A Debentures, the Company executed currency interest rate swap transactions. In February and in July 2014 the Company exchanged Series A Debentures NIS denominated notional principal in the aggregate amount of NIS 86 million (approximately $ 25 million) with a Euro notional principal (currency swap transactions). Following the closing of the acquisition of three additional photovoltaic plants in Spain (see Note 11), the Company expects to execute an additional currency swap transaction in the aggregate amount of the consideration paid in connection with such acquisition.

Such currency swap transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. The currency swaps are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Subsidiaries – Regulatory updates

Italy

Following the approval by the Italian parliament in August 2014, the Decree executed by the Italian president in June was converted into law providing for a decrease in the FiT guaranteed to existing photovoltaic plants with installed capacity of more than 200 kW. Pursuant to Law 116/2014, operators of existing photovoltaic plants, such as the Company, which received a guaranteed 20-year FiT under current Italian legislation, will be required to choose between the following four alternatives:
 
(i) a reduction of 8% in the FiT for photovoltaic plants with installed capacity above 900 kW, a reduction of 7% in the FiT for photovoltaic plants with installed capacity between 500 kW and 900 kW and a reduction of 6% in the FiT for photovoltaic plants with installed capacity between 200 kW and 500 kW (i.e., out of the twelve Italian photovoltaic plants owned by the Company, eight will be subject to a reduction of 8% in the FiT and four will be subject to a reduction of 7% in the FiT);
 
(ii) extending the 20-year term of the FiT to 24 years with a reduction in the FiT in a range of 17%-25%, depending on the time remaining on the term of the FiT  for the relevant photovoltaic plant, with higher reductions applicable to photovoltaic plants that commenced operations earlier (based on the remaining years in the initial guaranteed FiT period of the Company's existing Italian photovoltaic plants, the expected reduction in the FiT for the Company's photovoltaic plants is approximately 19%);
 
(iii) a rescheduling in the FiT so that during an initial period the FiT is reduced and during the second period the FiT is increased in the same amount of the reduction (the percentages of the decrease and length of the initial period have not yet been published and will be determined by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development by October 1, 2014 but based on Law 116/2014 the goal is to provide for a scheme that will guarantee an annual saving of at least Euro 600 million by the Italian public between 2015 and 2019, assuming all photovoltaic operators opt for this alternative); or (iv) the beneficiaries of FiT incentive schemes can sell up to 80% of the revenues deriving from the incentives generated by the photovoltaic plant to a selected buyer to be identified among the top EU banks.

Italy (cont'd)

The selected buyer will become eligible to receive the original FiT and will not be subject to the changes set forth in alternatives (i) through (iii) above. The exact terms of this alternative will be set by the Italian Authority for Electricity and Gas by November 20, 2014.

The operators that will choose one of the alternatives set forth in (i) - (iii) above can benefit from governmentally subsidized lines of credit or guarantees, for a maximum amount equal to the difference between the incentive due as at December 31, 2014 and the rescheduled incentive under the alternative chosen. The guarantee or line of credit will be made available by Cassa depositi e prestiti, a financing institution controlled by the Italian government, according to criteria that will be determined in the future by a specific decree.

As at June 30, 2014, the Company examined the recoverability of its photovoltaic plants in Italy. As the book value of some of the photovoltaic plants exceeded their recoverable amount, the Company recognized in those cases an impairment loss. see Note 5.

Spain

Since July 2013, a new remunerative regime for photovoltaic plants is in force pursuant to RDL 9/2013. The former feed-in tariff has been replaced by the so-called "specific retribution" system that provides the owner of a renewable installation with a defined yield to be calculated as 10-year government bonds plus 300 basis points.  The "specific retribution" 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 "specific retribution" is calculated according to the formula and parameters established in RD 413/2014 and Order 1045/2014 (approved and published in the Official Gazette in June 2014). The amounts received in terms of feed-in tariff since 14 July 2013 are be subject to a final settlement that will be conducted during the first nine monthly payments following July 2014. The sixth provisional settlement of 2014 (corresponding to the energy produce in June 2014) is the first payment calculated pursuant to the new methodology set forth in RD 413/2014 and Order 1045/2014.

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

Option to acquire additional shares in investee - The fair value of non-marketable options is determined based on valuations on a regular basis. Unobservable inputs relate to the fair value of the option to acquire additional shares in investee was calculated based on a binomial option pricing model considering estimates and parameters such as NAV (net asset value) of Dori Energy, which was determined based on the value of Dorad, estimated according to the discounted operational cash flows of Dorad, discounted by the return on equity of Dorad and net of its financial liabilities as at June 30, 2014.

Swap contracts – The fair value of swap contracts is measured on the basis of discounting the difference between the forward price in the contract and the current 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, see Note 9A(2). 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.

(4)           Valuation processes used by the Company

The fair value of non-marketable options is determined based on valuations on a quarterly basis.

Note 11 - Subsequent Events

In July 2014 the Company entered into definitive agreements for the purchase of three photovoltaic (solar) plants with installed capacity of approximately 5.6MWp in the aggregate (the "Spanish PV Plants").
 
The Spanish PV Plants are ground mounted fixed technology plants and are located in Murcia, Spain.
 
The Spanish PV Plants were already constructed and operating and were connected to the Spanish national grid in 2011.

The Spanish PV Plants were acquired from a Spanish company whose German parent company has entered into insolvency proceedings. The Spanish PV Plants and all associated assets and rights were purchased by Ellomay for an aggregate purchase price of Euro 9.5 million (approximately $13,000 thousand), subject to certain purchase price adjustments. In May 2014, a non-refundable down payment of $ 408 thousand was paid.

The transaction was closed after the balance sheet date.
