FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"

In addition to historical information, this annual report on Form 20-F contains forward-looking statements. Some of the statements under Item 3.D: Risk Factors, Item 4: Information on Ellomay, Item 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects and elsewhere in this annual report, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or other future financial performance, and are identified by terminology such as may, will, should, expect, scheduled, plan, intend, anticipate, believe, estimate, aim, potential, or continue or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based, among other things, on assumptions in connection with:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

our ability to identify, evaluate and consummate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives;

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

the price and market liquidity of our ordinary shares;

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

the fact that we may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 under certain circumstances (including as a result of the investments of assets following the sale of our business), and/or the risk that we may be required to take certain actions with respect to the investment of our assets or the distribution of cash to shareholders in order to avoid being deemed an investment company;

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

our plans with respect to the management of our financial and other assets;

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

our exposure to indemnity claims from Hewlett-Packard Company following the sale of our business; and

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

the possibility of future litigation.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgment with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations or projections include the risks and uncertainties relating to our business described in this annual report under Item 3.D: Risk Factors, Item 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects and elsewhere in this annual report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect managements analysis as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof, except as required by applicable law. In addition to the disclosure contained herein, readers should carefully review any disclosure of risks and uncertainties contained in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

To the extent that this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements (as distinct from historical information), we desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we are therefore including this statement for the express purpose of availing ourselves of the protections of the safe harbor with respect to all forward-looking statements.

A. Selected Financial Data

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The selected consolidated statements of income (operations) data for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and the selected consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Ellomay Capital Ltd. set forth in Item 18: Financial Statements. The selected consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the selected consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements not included in this report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In February 2008 we sold our business to Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) pursuant to an assets purchase agreement executed on December 9, 2007 (the Asset Purchase Agreement), as more fully described below under Item 10.C Material Contracts. As we have not to date purchased an operating business since the sale of our business to HP, the results of operations relating to the business sold continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements in full detail, rather than reported as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. See Note 1b to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. As part of the HP Transaction, we sold our holdings in three wholly owned subsidiaries (NUR Europe, NUR Japan and NUR Do Brazil) to several of HPs subsidiaries. Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, we wholly own, directly and indirectly, several subsidiaries that are currently inactive and we are in the process of dissolving, or have already arranged for the dissolution of, a number of such inactive subsidiaries.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The following tables present the financial data for Ellomay together with its subsidiaries as of the periods presented, some of which were sold to HP and some of which have been dissolved during 2008: Salsa Digital Printers (dissolved in 2008), NUR America (dissolved in 2008), NUR Europe (sold to HP), NUR DO Brazil Ltda. (sold to HP), NUR Japan (sold to HP), NUR Shanghai, NUR Asia Pacific, NUR Media Solutions, NUR Hungary Trading and Software Licensing Limited Liability Company, Encre Consumables B.V., NUR Italy, NUR UK, Excite Ink and NUR Pro Engineering.

D. Risk Factors

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Investing in our securities involves significant risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as the other information contained in this annual report before making an investment decision. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In such case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations .

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"

We have sold our business and currently conduct no business activities. In February 2008, we sold our wide-format printing business, through the sale of substantially all of our assets and liabilities relating to such business, to HP. We have since held our assets, which currently mainly consist of the cash consideration received from HP, in cash and cash equivalents. Since the consummation of the sale of our business, we have concentrated on activities relating to the investment of our funds and handling the winding up of the operations that were not transferred to HP and the remaining aspects relating to the transfer of the business to HP, as well as pursuing our current plan of operation, which is to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise. Other than activities relating to the transfer of our business to HP, attempting to locate such business opportunities and activities relating to the investment of our funds, we do not currently conduct any operations.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We are exposed to potential liabilities in connection with the sale of our business to HP. In connection with the sale of our business to HP, we have agreed to indemnify HP and its subsidiaries that purchased our assets, and their respective officers, directors, employees and affiliates, for certain breaches of the Asset Purchase Agreement, including, among others, any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, any liabilities that were not assumed by HP and certain environmental matters. Our indemnification liability pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is generally limited to amounts deposited in an escrow account pursuant to such Agreement ($9.5 million deposited in an indemnity escrow account for a period of 18 months and $5 million deposited for a period of 24 months). However, we agreed that claims for indemnity relating to certain liabilities, including, among others, fraud, willing and intentional breach of warranties, liabilities arising in connection with assets or liabilities that were not purchased by HP, failure to comply with certain restrictive covenants and environmental issues, will not be limited to the amounts deposited in escrow. A claim against us could result in substantial cost, that may, if it relates to certain issues, be paid from sources other than the funds deposited in escrow, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition. The representations and warranties made by us in the Asset Purchase Agreement survive for a period of 18 months following the closing date of the transaction, which occurred on February 29, 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We may not be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in consummating a business combination. We do not have an agreement or understanding with any third party with respect to the future operations of the Company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in consummating a business combination and we expect to incur expenses in connection with this identification and evaluation process, whether or not such process results in an investment of our funds. While we are actively exploring strategic transactions and opportunities, we have not targeted any particular industry or specific business within an industry in which to pursue such opportunities. We may enter into a business combination with a business entity having no significant operating history or other negative characteristics such as having limited earnings or no potential for immediate earnings, limited assets and negative net worth. We may also pursue a business combination that will not necessarily provide us with significant financial benefits in the short or long term. In the event that we complete a business combination, the success of our operations will be dependent upon the performance of management of the target company and our ability to retain such management and numerous other factors, some of which are beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms favorable to us, or at all.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

If we do not conduct an adequate due diligence investigation of a target business, we may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring, and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment. We must conduct a due diligence investigation of the target businesses we intend to acquire. Intensive due diligence is time consuming and expensive due to the operations, accounting, finance and legal professionals who must be involved in the due diligence process. Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business, we cannot assure you that this due diligence will reveal all material issues that may affect a particular target business, or that factors outside the control of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. If our due diligence review fails to identify issues specific to a target business, industry or the environment in which the target business operates, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our ordinary shares.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The current general economic and business condition around the world and any subsequent economic downturn may adversely affect our ability to consummate a business combination, the prospects of any business we may acquire and the trading price of our ordinary shares. During the past two years, and particularly since September 2008, due to the severity of the crisis affecting financial institutions in the United States and in Europe, the rising costs of various commodities, the lack of growth and economic development in the United States and Europe (and, beginning in late 2008, in the rest of the developed world and emerging economies as well) and the developing recession, the general economic and business condition in many countries around the world has worsened, affecting, among other things, credit ratings of borrowers, the perceived and actual credit risks faced by lenders and purchasers of debt securities, the spending habits of consumers, and the ability to procure financing. Although this current crisis may present certain opportunities to companies such as Ellomay that are seeking prospective business combinations, if this current crisis continues, or any further economic downturns ensue, it may adversely affect our ability to procure financing required for prospective business combinations, the value of businesses we acquire and our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, this economic downturn also affects the trading prices of securities in various capital markets around the world and may significantly and adversely affect the trading price of our ordinary shares.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We may not be able to consummate a business combination that will be beneficial to our shareholders. We expect to encounter intense competition from entities having a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital funds, private equity funds, special purpose acquisition companies, operating businesses competing for acquisitions, and blank check companies, especially as the prices of potential targets decrease due to the current global financial crisis. Many of these potential acquirers are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Such entities may possess greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial resources may be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. In addition, our history of operations and potential exposures relating to our previous operations may limit our ability to consummate a business combination that will be beneficial to our current shareholders.

When we do select a prospective target business or business in which to invest or with which to complete a business combination, we may be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target businesss operations. To the extent we complete a business combination or investment transaction, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations of the acquired business or businesses. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors, or that we will have adequate resources to perform a complete due diligence process.

The consummation of a business combination may lead to the dilution of the value of our shares, and may involve the issuance of additional shares of our capital stock or the issuance of debt securities. Issuance of our capital stock would have a dilutive effect over the interests of our shareholders. In the event we enter into a business combination or similar arrangement, it may involve the allocation of a significant amount of cash held by us as a result of the sale of our business to HP. Depending upon the value of the assets acquired in such business combination or investment, the per share value of our ordinary shares may increase or decrease, possibly significantly. In addition, we may need to raise additional financing by issuing our ordinary shares to investors, issuing debt securities or incurring bank or other debt in order to consummate business combinations or acquisitions, and the difficulty of raising capital in the current capital markets environment makes it possible that such ordinary shares or debt securities may be issued at discounts from prevailing market prices. Our second amended and restated articles authorize the issuance of up to 170,000,000 ordinary shares. There are currently 54,893,379 ordinary shares available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of the shares upon full exercise of our outstanding stock options and warrants). The issuance of additional ordinary shares may significantly reduce your equity interest in Ellomay and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares. The incurrence of bank debt or the issuance of debt securities may place restrictions on our ability to operate our business, including leading to default and foreclosure on our assets, subjecting us to restrictive covenants and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing.

Our ability to successfully effect business combinations or acquisitions and to be successful thereafter will be significantly dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. Several of our key personnel allocate their time to other businesses. Our ability to successfully effect a business combination or acquisition is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, including Shlomo Nehama, our chairman of the board, and other members of our board of directors. Although we have entered into a Management Services Agreement with entities affiliated with three of our board members, including Mr. Nehama, these and our other directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which could create a conflict of interest when allocating their time between our operations and their other commitments. If our directors other business affairs require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination.

If we acquire a business or effect a business combination with a company located outside of Israel or the United States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations. We may acquire or effect a business combination with a company located outside of Israel or the United States. If we did, we would be subject to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in the target business home jurisdiction, including rules and regulations or currency conversion or corporate withholding taxes on individuals, tariffs and trade barriers, regulations related to customs and import/export matters, longer payment cycles, tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to Israel and the United States, currency fluctuations and exchange controls, challenges in collecting accounts receivable, cultural and language differences, employment regulations, crime, strikes, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks and wars and deterioration of political relations with Israel. We cannot assure you that we would be able to adequately address these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, our operations might suffer.

If we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company, our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences. As a result of the sale of our business to HP in February 2008, our assets mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents producing passive income. If, for any taxable year, our passive income, or our assets that produce passive income, exceed specified levels, we may be characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This characterization could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences for our U.S. shareholders, which may include having gains realized on the sale of our ordinary shares treated as ordinary income, rather than as capital gains income, and having potentially punitive interest charges apply to the proceeds of sales of our ordinary shares and certain distributions. The tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually and it is difficult to make accurate predictions of future income and assets, which are relevant to this decision. Although we believe that for fiscal year 2008 we met the requirements set forth in Section 1298(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, providing an exception from the PFIC status for a change of business situation, we cannot assure you, that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would agree with our conclusion if they were to consider our situation. In addition, we cannot use such exception for two years in succession and therefore if we will meet the criteria of a PFIC, as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code, for fiscal year 2009, we will lose our exception from PFIC status for fiscal 2008 as well. The determination of our PFIC status for fiscal year 2009 will depend on the type of assets we will hold during that year and the income derived from such assets, and if we were to avoid being classified as a PFIC for this year, this would require the closing of an acquisition of an operating business to occur within fiscal 2009, an occurrence that cannot be currently anticipated or in any way assured. Certain elections may be used to reduce or eliminate the adverse impact of the PFIC rules for holders of our shares, but these elections may be detrimental to the shareholder under certain circumstances. The PFIC rules are extremely complex and U.S. investors are urged to consult independent tax advisers regarding the potential consequences to them of our possible classification as a PFIC. For a more detailed discussion of the consequences of our being classified as a PFIC, see Item 10.E: Taxation under the caption U.S. Tax Considerations Regarding Ordinary Shares.

We may be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which could subject us to material adverse consequences. As a result of the sale of our business to HP, we could be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Investment Company Act). During the twelve-month period following the sale of our business to HP, we were not deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act, as we relied on an exemption from that act for transient investment companies for a twelve-month period. As we have not entered into a business combination or developed an operating business and such period has expired, unless we limit the nature of our investments and assets and succeed in making strategic controlling investments, we may be deemed to be an investment company. If we were deemed to be an investment company, we would not be permitted to register under the Investment Company Act without an order from the SEC permitting us to register because we are incorporated outside of the United States and, prior to being permitted to register, we would not be permitted to publicly offer or promote our securities in the United States. Such order would subject us to additional commitments and regulatory compliance. We may be required to restrict our investments, in the short-term and in the long-term, so as not to fall within the statutory definition of investment company. Such investments might not be as favorable to us as the investments we might make if we were not potentially subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. We seek to conduct our operations, including by way of investing our cash and cash equivalents, to the extent possible, so as not to become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. In addition, because we are actively engaged in exploring and considering strategic investments and business opportunities we do not believe that we are engaged in investment company activities or business.

We have undergone, and may in the future undergo, tax audits and may have to make material payments to tax authorities at the conclusion of these audits, including in connection with the sale of our business to HP. Previously to the sale of our business to HP, we conducted business globally and a substantial part of our operations was conducted in various countries. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of revenues and expenses in different jurisdictions and the timing of recognizing revenues and expenses and were not assumed or purchased by HP as part of the business sold. Additionally, the amount of income taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. Not all of the tax returns of our operations in other countries and in Israel are final and may be subject to further audit and assessment by the applicable tax authorities. The consummation of the transaction with HP may increase the likelihood of additional audits of our tax returns in the future. While we believe we comply with applicable income tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes, as a result of which our future results may be adversely affected.

Because our ordinary shares are quoted on the pink sheets and their trading may become subject to the Securities and Exchange Commissions penny stock regulations, the market liquidity of our ordinary shares is very limited . On May 19, 2005, our ordinary shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The basis of the delisting was our failure to comply with the minimum stockholders equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our ordinary shares are currently quoted on the over-the-counter market in the Pink Sheets under the symbol EMYCF.PK.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As a result of the removal of our ordinary shares from quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our ordinary shares are not regularly covered by securities analysts and the media and the liquidity of our ordinary shares is very limited. Such limited liquidity could result in lower prices for our ordinary shares than might otherwise prevail and in larger spreads between the bid and asked prices for our ordinary shares. Additionally, certain investors will not purchase securities that are quoted on the pink sheets, which could materially impair our ability to raise funds through the issuance of our ordinary shares in the securities markets.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Because our ordinary shares have been removed from quotation on Nasdaq and the trading price of our ordinary shares is less than $5.00 per share, trading in our ordinary shares may become subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Although we currently meet the criteria of average revenues in excess of $6 million set forth in Rule 3a51-1(g)(2) which exempts our ordinary shares from being deemed penny stock, brokers are still subject to special record keeping requirements with respect to our ordinary shares and must demonstrate that we have met these criteria. In addition, if we do not consummate the acquisition of an operating business in 2009, or if the businesses we do acquire lack sufficient revenues, our ordinary shares may be deemed penny stock and would then be subject to the full sales practice requirements of Rule 15g-9. Pursuant to Rule 15g-9, brokers and dealers who recommend penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written consent prior to the transaction.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, according to regulations adopted by the SEC, any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on Nasdaq or the OTC Bulletin Board that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions), including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. Such requirements could further limit the market liquidity of our ordinary shares.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination and may not pay dividends in the future following the completion of a business combination. We have not paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of dividends after completion of an initial business combination will depend on our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition after a business combination is completed and will be within the discretion of our then-board of directors. As a result, any gains on an investment in our securities will need to come through appreciation of the value of such securities.

You may have difficulty enforcing U.S. judgments against us in Israel. We are organized under the laws of Israel and our headquarters are in Israel. Most of our officers and directors reside outside of the United States. Therefore, you may not be able to enforce any judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or any of such persons. You may not be able to enforce civil actions under U.S. securities laws if you file a lawsuit in Israel. In addition, if a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it will be payable in Israeli currency.

Currency fluctuations may affect the value of our assets and decrease our earnings. Substantially all of the consideration for the sale of our business to HP was paid to us in US$. Some of our retained assets and liabilities however are denominated in other currencies. The devaluation of the US$ against such other currencies and other currency fluctuations may decrease the value of our assets and could impact our business.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"

Our stock price has decreased significantly and may continue to be volatile, which could adversely affect the market liquidity of our ordinary shares and our ability to raise additional funds. Our ordinary shares have experienced substantial price volatility, particularly as there is very limited volume of trading in our ordinary shares and every transaction performed significantly influences the market price. The market price for our ordinary shares has generally followed a historical downward trend since 2000. On May 19, 2005, our ordinary shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market due to our failure to comply with the minimum stockholders equity requirement for continued listing. Our ordinary shares are currently quoted on the over-the-counter market in the Pink Sheets under the symbol EMYCF.PK. We are now subject to price and volume fluctuations that affect trading in the securities of shell companies, special purpose acquisition companies and other publicly traded investment vehicles. These factors, as well as general economic and political conditions, may materially adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares in the future. Additionally, volatility or a lack of positive performance in our stock price may adversely affect our ability to retain or attract key employees, many of whom are generally granted stock options as part of their compensation package, and negatively affect our ability to raise funds through both debt and equity, discourage potential customers and partners from doing business with us, and could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our business, operating results and share price could be materially adversely affected. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes certain duties on us and our executives and directors. Our efforts to comply with the requirements of Section 404, have resulted in increased general and administrative expense and a diversion of management time and attention, and we expect these efforts to require the continued commitment of resources. Pursuant to the requirements of Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management is required to design and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year that is the subject of this report. Following its review of our internal controls for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, our management concluded that due to the material weaknesses identified in our internal controls over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of such fiscal years were not effective. In addition, due to the existence of these material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007. Although we have implemented corrective measures, documented and tested our internal control systems and procedures and have made improvements in order for us to comply with the requirements of Section 404 and while our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2008, we may still be exposed to claims from regulatory authorities and our shareholders in connection with our ineffective controls in prior years. In addition, we cannot predict the outcome of our testing in future periods. See Item 15: Controls and Procedures. Beginning with our annual report for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, our report in connection with internal control over financial reporting must also contain a statement that our independent registered public accounting firm have issued an attestation report on their assessment of the effectiveness of such internal controls. Once we acquire an operating business, we may be required to implement new internal control procedures over financial reporting. We may also experience higher than anticipated operating expenses and fees in this context. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, or if our internal controls are found to be ineffective in future periods, whether by our management or by our independent registered accounting firm, it could harm our financial reporting or financial results, impact the market price of our ordinary shares, and could result in our being unable to obtain an unqualified report on internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm.

We are controlled by a small number of shareholders, who may make decisions with which you may disagree. In February and March 2008, a group of investors comprised of Kanir Joint Investments (2005) Limited Partnership (Kanir) and S. Nechama Investments (2008) Ltd. (Nechama Investments), acquired a substantial amount of our securities in a series of private transactions and have also entered into a shareholders agreement. Consequently, these shareholders currently hold 62% of our outstanding ordinary shares and, taking into account the convertible securities and other rights held by them, are currently the beneficial owners of 72.3% of our ordinary shares. Therefore, acting together, they could exercise significant influence over our business, including with respect to the election of our directors and the approval of change in control and other material transactions. This concentration of control may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest. Moreover, at our general meeting of shareholders held on December 30, 2008, our shareholders adopted our Second Amended and Restated Articles, which were presented to our shareholders at the request of Kanir and Nechama Investments. Several of the amendments, including the casting vote provided to our Chairman of the Board under certain circumstances and the ability of members of our Board to demand that certain issues be approved by our shareholders, requiring a special majority, all as more fully described in Item 10.B: Memorandum of Association and Second Amended and Restated Articles, may have the affect of delaying or preventing certain changes and corporate actions that would otherwise benefit our shareholders.

Provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of Ellomay, which could prevent a change of control and, therefore, depress the price of our shares. Israeli corporate law regulates mergers, requires tender offers for acquisitions of shares above specified thresholds, requires special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers or significant shareholders and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions. Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential transactions unappealing to us or to some of our shareholders. These provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of Ellomay, which could prevent a change of control and therefore depress the price of our shares.

Our ordinary shares were traded on the Nasdaq National Market between October 1995 and July 2003. During 2002, the bid price for our ordinary shares closed below the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Accordingly, in July 2003, we transferred our securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market, whereby we were granted an extension of 180 days to meet the minimum requirement of $1.00 per share. We regained compliance with this requirement in October 2003. Our ordinary shares were traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market between July 2003 and May 2005. As a result of our failure to comply with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(B) and Rule 4310(c)(3)(A), our ordinary shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 19, 2005 and are currently quoted in the over-the-counter market in the Pink Sheets under the symbol EMYCF.PK.

On December 9, 2007, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with HP for the sale of our business to HP and several of its subsidiaries (the HP Transaction). The Asset Purchase Agreement contemplated the sale of substantially all of our assets and liabilities relating to our business, with the exclusion of cash, debt and other specific assets and liabilities as agreed upon between the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, HP and several of its subsidiaries also agreed to acquire three of our subsidiaries, NUR Europe S.A., a company organized pursuant to the laws of Belgium, NUR Japan Ltd., a company organized pursuant to the laws of Japan and NUR Do Brazil Ltda., a company organized pursuant to the laws of Brazil.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

On February 29, 2008 (the APA Closing Date), the sale of our business to HP was finalized. The base purchase price pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is $117.5 million. The purchase price was subject to upward or downward adjustment based on the net debt (bank debt less cash balances) of the Company and its subsidiaries that were not purchased by HP as of the APA Closing Date. The purchase price adjustment on such date was approximately $4 million, increasing the total consideration under the Asset Purchase Agreement from $117.5 million to $121.5 million. Following the APA Closing Date, the parties reached a mutual resolution to assign NUR Europes facilities and related capital lease to a third party. Therefore, we were entitled to additional net proceeds (after deduction of HPs expenses in connection with such capital lease and other expenses that were to be borne by us pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement) in the amount of $1.1 million as additional consideration for NUR Europes shares, increasing the aggregate consideration in connection with the HP Transaction to $122.6 million.

Of the $1.5 million withheld, an amount of $1 million was transferred to us on December 2, 2008 as a result of the assignment of NUR Europes facilities and related capital lease to a third party. The $0.5 million withheld in connection with NUR Europes obligations with respect to the government grants is still being held by HP.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Of the additional proceeds in the amount of $1.1 million related to NUR Europes facilities, a total amount of $0.4 million was transferred to us on December 18, 2008 and an additional amount of approximately $0.7 million was transferred to us on March 13, 2009.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The private placement included two stages, an initial closing resulting in gross proceeds in the amount of $3.8 million in January 2007 and a follow-on investment resulting in gross proceeds of $2.5 million in February 2007. In connection with the private placement, we paid our adviser, Meitav Underwriting Ltd., a cash fee of $0.25 million.

Following the closing of the HP Transaction and the sale of our operating business to HP and several of its subsidiaries on February 29, 2008, we ceased substantially all of the operations of our business as conducted prior thereto. We currently hold substantially all of our assets in cash and cash equivalents. Our current plan of operation is to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise. While we are actively exploring strategic transactions and opportunities, we have not targeted any particular industry or specific business within an industry in which to pursue such opportunities.

The following is a description of the business conducted by us prior to the closing of the HP Transaction:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the closing of the HP Transaction, we were a leading supplier of wide format and super-wide format digital printing systems worldwide. We developed, manufactured, sold and serviced digital color printers for the printing of large images such as billboards, posters and banners, point of purchase displays, exhibition and trade show displays, as well as decorations and backdrops for construction scaffolding covers, showrooms, television and film studios, museums and exhibits. We also supplied our customers with ink and solvent products for use with wide format and super-wide format digital printers.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We conducted the research and development activities related to printing equipment and ink at its facility in Lod, Israel. We had worldwide marketing, sales and service subsidiaries or divisions in Europe, North America, South America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa regions.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We offered several lines of printers in the wide and super-wide format categories which were either solvent-ink based or UV-ink based. In the solvent-ink based printers market we offered the NUR Fresco series and the NUR Tango. In the UV-ink based printers market, we offered the NUR Tempo series and the NUR Expedio series. These printers are sometimes referred to collectively herein as our printers.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We also sold specialized ink products for use with our printers. The ink products previously sold by us to our customers for use with the NUR Fresco, NUR Ultima, NUR Salsa, NUR Blueboard, NUR Tempo, NUR Expedio and NUR Tango printers were resistant to water and ultraviolet rays and were well suited for indoor and outdoor use.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We sold our printers and related products primarily to commercial digital printers, design and service firms, screen printers, commercial photo labs, outdoor media companies and trade shops. As of the consummation of the sale of our business to HP, our printers were installed in more than 800 sites throughout Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia.

Industry Background

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The market for printed applications requiring wide format and super-wide format printing has expanded during the last few years during which we were active in such market. Wide format and super-wide format printing applications include billboards, flags, posters and banners, special event and trade show displays, point of purchase displays, fleet graphics, decorations and backdrops. For example, the retail, automotive, restaurant, travel and gasoline industries used outdoor advertising to promote their products in numerous locations including roadside billboards and posters displayed on streets and buildings, as well as the outside of buses, vans, trucks and trains, so-called vehicular graphics. Wide format and super-wide format prints could also be found in theaters as stage decorations, in museums and exhibitions as backdrops or displays and on construction sites as building site coverings. Prior to the introduction of digital printing systems, wide format and super-wide format short-run prints were produced either by hand painting, which is relatively slow and expensive, and produces lesser quality images, or by screen or offset printing, both of which are relatively expensive and time consuming processes.

Traditional Wide Format and Super-wide Format Printing Methods

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Conventional methods of wide format and super-wide format printing have included hand painting, screen printing and offset printing. Generally, producing wide format and super-wide format color prints by traditional methods in relatively short runs (i.e., a few copies to a few hundred copies), depending on the application, has either been relatively slow and expensive or of limited quality. Because of the inherent limitations of the traditional wide format and super-wide format printing methods, quality wide format and super-wide format prints produced by these methods are generally limited to long runs of identical prints, designed and prepared well in advance or, in the case of hand painting, to single print applications. As a result, traditional methods of producing wide format and super-wide format prints have not provided timely and economic solutions for the needs of the short run printing market.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Hand Painting. Hand painting involves either the projection of an image onto a substrate, which is then drawn onto the substrate and subsequently painted by hand, or the spraying of paint onto material covered by a template that has been cut to the desired shape. The process of hand painting is an alternative mainly in developing countries where labor costs are significantly lower and where the significantly lower image quality is tolerated by the local market.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Screen Printing . The screen-printing process is distinguished by its ability to print finely detailed images on practically any surface, including paper, plastics, metals and three-dimensional surfaces. However, the process requires significant set-up time and investment in materials before the image can be sent to press. This cost constrains the minimum number of copies the screen printer can produce economically. As screen-printing is a highly labor-intensive process, it is best suited for run lengths between 50 to 400 copies. Hence, this is a market in which we believe our digital printers can be highly competitive.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Offset Printing. Offset color printing generally produces very high quality images compared to hand painting or screen-printing. However, because of the complex steps involved in offset color printing, each printing job, whether small or large, involves substantial set-up time and costs. In addition, much like hand painting and screen-printing, alterations and customizations are not economically feasible unless the entire offset color printing process is repeated. Another drawback is that the variety of substrate materials and widths suitable for use with offset printing machinery is limited. In general, offset color printing is best suited for long print runs.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Wide Format and Super-wide Format Digital Printing

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The introduction of digital printing has aided in the transformation of the wide format and super-wide format printing industry by lowering set-up costs, shortening turnaround time and reducing labor requirements. Digital printing involves the production of hard-copy images and text from digital data that is either generated on a computer at the printing site or originated by a customer on the customers computer system. The digital data is then transferred directly from an electronic pre-press or desktop publishing system to the digital printer. During our operations in the digital printing business, there were several digital printing technologies available, including electrostatic, piezo drop-on-demand, thermal transfer and continuous inkjet printing.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Electrostatic Printing. Electrostatic printing is a non-impact printing technique that employs an array of metal styli, selectively pulsed to a high potential to generate a charged latent image on dielectric-coated paper, which is then toned to develop the latent image into a visible image. The achievable printing resolution is up to 400 dots per square inch. The main drawback of the technology is the need for special and expensive substrates and toners. This requirement increases the cost of consumables considerably.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Piezo Drop-On-Demand Inkjet Printing. Drop-on-demand technology involves the intermittent firing of ink drops when needed on the substrate. It provides high resolution and enables use of a variety of inks for home, office and industrial use. To address the needs of the wide format market for images with higher resolutions compared to those of other digital printing methods, for use with shorter viewing distances, we utilize drop-on-demand inkjet technology in our printers.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Thermal Transfer Printing. Thermal transfer printing is a contact printing technology that employs arrays of heated needles and pressure to melt and transfer wax based inks from a carrier roll onto a restricted variety of substrates. Like electrostatic printing, thermal transfer printing requires relatively expensive consumables.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Continuous Inkjet Printing. Continuous inkjet printing technology involves the continuous flow of electrically conductive ink within a closed loop that is deflected onto a specific location on a sheet of paper or other medium. The ink is separated into uniform micro-drops and the micro-drops are electronically directed to be printed onto a selected area of the medium. Continuous inkjet printing technology allows for high-speed printing and produces images with good resolutions sufficient for viewing from distances of beyond five feet. Continuous inkjet printers also produce multiple copies with consistent color quality. The cost of equipment using continuous inkjet printing technology is relatively high in comparison to printers using electrostatic technology. However, the cost of the output produced with continuous inkjet printers is lower than that of electrostatic printers.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our Printers General

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our printers required little operator supervision, enabling one operator to run several machines at once. While the operators must have been specifically trained in the operation of our printers, unlike conventional methods such as offset printing, no special color mixing skills are required.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As compared to traditional methods of wide format and super-wide format printing, our printers could significantly reduce the set-up and operating costs associated with each print job. Both the number of personnel and the number of skilled personal that were required for the operation of our printers were lower than in traditional methods of wide-format and super-wide format printing. These advantages made wide format and super-wide format short-run color printing significantly more economical than is possible using traditional printing methods. Additionally, the relatively quick turnaround for the printed product enabled our printers to produce more output in a given period, thereby further lowering the costs of labor per print.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Unlike hand painting, screen or offset printing, the layout can be viewed through the pre-press workstation prior to printing, permitting last minute fine-tuning. By running a single copy of the print, corrections of text, enhancements of images, and additions of color can all be accomplished with minimal time, effort and cost. Additionally, since the format can readily be changed, our printers allowed the end-user to make each print in the run different, with little time, effort, or additional cost. For example, if so desired, different languages, graphics and text could be added to each print in a run.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As of the end of fiscal 2007, the retail prices of our printers generally ranged from $120,000 to $450,000 per machine.

Inks

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The NUR Tempo and NUR Expedio printers use specialized UV-curable inks. The ink used was resistant to water and ultraviolet rays, making it fairly durable and thus well suited for outdoor conditions. The NUR Tempo, through the utilization of the ink, can print on almost an unlimited variety of substrates. The NUR Expedio also prints on a variety of media. The ink we sold enabled the output of the NUR Tempo and NUR Expedio to be used both for indoor and outdoor advertising without additional lamination.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The NUR Fresco and NUR Ultima printers use specialized all-in-one solvent-pigment based ink designed for the needs of the wide format and super-wide format market and suited for drop-on-demand technology printers. This ink was developed to ensure color-real, long lasting, color consistent, weather resistant prints. The NUR Blueboard printers that were in our installed base as of the consummation of the HP Transaction, use specialized solvent-based pigmented ink designed for the needs of billboard application. The ink is resistant to water and ultraviolet rays, making it fairly durable and thus well suited for outdoor conditions.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We manufactured ink in our plant in Ashkelon, Israel, and our ink research and development activities were located in Lod, Israel.

In addition, we worked to develop, market and sell a wide range of advanced ink products, all of which are designed to work with our previously existing range of printers.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"

The Israeli Government, through the Fund for the Encouragement of Marketing Activities of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor (the Marketing Fund), awarded participation grants for marketing expenses incurred overseas. During 2007 and 2008 we did not receive grants from the Marketing Fund and we were not eligible to receive such grants. Under the terms of grants awarded to us in prior years by the Marketing Fund, we were obligated to pay a royalty of 3-4% of the export added value to the Marketing Fund until 100%-150% of the grants received in prior years had been repaid. In connection with a dispute with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, we withheld payments owed to the Marketing Fund. In February 2006, as part of the OCS Settlement Agreement described below, the District Court in Jerusalem approved a settlement between us and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor in connection with our outstanding debt to the Marketing Fund. Under the terms of the approved settlement, we were required to make aggregate payments of approximately $0.78 million to the Marketing Fund over a three-year period. The liability to the Marketing Fund was fully paid during 2008. For more details regarding the settlement agreement see Item 8.A: Legal Proceedings.

Production and Sources of Supply

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We manufactured and assembled our printers at a single, large manufacturing facility located in the Telrad Campus in Lod, Israel.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Full system integration, acceptance and quality control testing of the printers were conducted by our employees at the manufacturing facility. Product quality control tests and inspections were performed at various steps throughout the manufacturing process, and each product was subject to a final test prior to delivery. As previously mentioned, NUR Tango printers were manufactured by a third party under an exclusive OEM agreement which was terminated prior to the sale of our business to HP.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

During the conduct of our business, we were able to obtain adequate supplies of the components necessary to produce our printers and did not have any material problems with our subcontractors. The prices of our principal components did not materially change during 2007 and such portion of 2008 in which we still conducted our business (January February).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We manufactured ink products at our plant in Ashkelon, Israel. The ink for use with the NUR Blueboard was manufactured by a third party, exclusively for us and under our brand name. Some of the ink products for use with the NUR Tempo and NUR Expedio were also manufactured for us by a third party under our previously-owned brand name.

Research and Development

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our research and development center, which as of the sale of our business to HP engaged over 50 employees, was focused on developing new products, enhancing the quality and performance relative to price of our existing products, reducing manufacturing costs, upgrading and expanding our product line through the development of additional features and improving functionality in response to market demand.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Total net research and development expenses were approximately $5.8 million, $7.0 million and $1.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Research and development expenses were composed principally of salaries for employees, the hiring of subcontractors, prototype material costs and depreciation of printers and capital investment in infrastructure for software and electronic designs.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Between 1997 and 2003, NUR Media Solutions, our subsidiary and NUR Europe, our former subsidiary (sold to HP), received three research and development grants in the aggregate amount of approximately EUR 2.4 million from local authorities in Belgium. The obligation to pay royalties from the sales of products developed with these grants was retained by NUR Media Solutions in connection with the HP Transaction and we undertook to release NUR Europe from its obligations, if any, pursuant to these grants. These grants are subject to certain terms and conditions pursuant to agreements entered into between the subsidiaries and the local authorities in Belgium. Under the terms of the grants, the subsidiaries have an obligation to pay royalties at the higher of a certain minimum annual amount or at a rate of 4% on the sales of products developed with funds provided by the local authorities in Belgium, up to an amount equal to the research and development grants received in connection with such products, linked to the Euro. The commencement of the royalty payments to the local authorities in Belgium is contingent upon such subsidiaries generating sales from products developed under these grants. The grants are not repayable in the event that the subsidiaries decide to cease the research and development activities or the exploitation of the products developed under these grants and all know- how and results of the research and development are transferred to the local authorities. In the event that such subsidiaries decide to cease exploitation of the products developed under these grants a notification thereof should be given to the local authorities in Belgium. Our subsidiaries ceased the research and development activities and the exploitation of certain products for which grants were received but did not submit notification to the local authorities and instead continued to pay royalties, with a total of EUR 0.659 million remitted through 2005. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, our subsidiaries did not pay any royalties to the local Belgian authorities, other than the settlement amount paid on December 2, 2008 as noted below.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

During November 2008 NUR Media Solutions reached a settlement with the Belgian authorities by which the authorities waived the repayment of a portion of the grants and, in return, we paid back on December 2, 2008 a total of EUR 0.390 million as full and final settlement.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In the past, we received grants from the Government of Israel, through the Office of the Chief Scientist, or the OCS, for the development of our systems and products. The terms of the grants prohibit the manufacture of products developed with government grants outside of Israel without the prior consent of the OCS. These restrictions do not bar exports from Israel of products developed with such technologies. In addition, the know-how and the technology developed pursuant to these grants may not be transferred to third parties or out of Israel without the approval of the OCS. The approval of the OCS, if granted, generally subject us to additional financial obligations. These restrictions do not terminate following repayment of the grants. Other than with respect to the MAGNET and Magneton projects described below, we have not received research and development grants from the OCS since 2001. The OCS awards grants of up to 50% (and in certain circumstances up to 66%) of a projects approved expenditures in return for royalties. Under the terms of previously granted funding, royalties were payable generally at a rate of 2% to 3% on sales of products developed from the funded project up to 100% to 150% of the dollar value of the original grant. During 2001, we made royalty payments of $0.2 million in respect of such grants to the OCS. In February 2005, we filed a claim with the District Court in Jerusalem against the OCS for a declaratory judgment denying an alleged liability for unpaid royalties to the OCS of approximately $0.8 million and for the recovery of approximately $0.27 million that was previously paid to the OCS. In February 2006, the court approved a settlement between us and the OCS (the OCS Settlement Agreement). Under the terms of the OCS Settlement Agreement, we were required to make aggregate payments of approximately $0.6 to the OCS over a three-year period. We also agreed to make payments equal to 5% of our operating income in order to accelerate the repayment of the agreed upon royalties. The amounts required to be paid by us pursuant to the OCS Settlement Agreement were fully repaid by us during 2008. For additional information regarding the OCS dispute please see Item 8.A: Legal Proceedings.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In addition to the OCS grants described above, following our participation in a research and development consortium of industrial companies and academic institution within the framework of the MAGNET program of the OCS, we worked on an ink technology project with the Technion The Israel Institute of Technology, which received the approval of the Mini-MAGNET (or Magneton) committee of the OCS. The Magneton is designated to support knowledge-transfer relationships between industry and academic institutions. Under the terms of the Magneton program, the OCS contributes 66% of the OCS-approved program research budget. No royalties are payable to the OCS with respect to this funding, however, the terms of our agreement with the Technion required us to pay royalties to the Technion on the proceeds from sales of products resulting from this project when such sales commenced. The terms of the program prohibit both the manufacture of products using technology developed in the context of the program outside of Israel and the transfer of technology developed under the program, without the prior written consent of the OCS. Such consent may require the refund of the grants awarded. We have not received any monies relating to the Magneton project, as a majority of the monies due to us in connection with grants were applied against our debt to the OCS pursuant to the OCS Settlement Agreement.

HP has approached the OCS and requested to transfer the technology and manufacturing of products developed with the assistance of the OCS outside of Israel. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we may be required to reimburse HP, out of the amounts deposited in the escrow account, for payments made to the OCS in connection with such transfer of manufacturing. It is too early to determine what amounts will be paid by HP to the OCS or will be required to be paid by us to HP.

Competition

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the consummation of the sale of our business to HP, the principal competitive factors that affected the sales of our products were their performance relative to price, productivity and throughput; product features and technology; quality, reliability, cost of operation and consumables; the quality and costs of training, support and service and our ability to be flexible in adapting to customers applications of our products. Other competitive factors included the ability to provide access to product financing, our reputation and the customers confidence that we would continually develop new products and product accessories that would help them maintain and grow their business.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our main competitors in the roll-fed arena were EFI/VUTEk, Hewlett-Packard/Scitex Vision and Gandi Innovations. These companies have introduced products that directly compete with the NUR Fresco and NUR Expedio printers. In the market for flatbed printers utilizing UV-curable ink, the main competitors were Durst Phototechnik, Inca Digital Printers, Hewlett-Packard/Scitex Vision, Leggett & Platt (Spuhl), Gandi Innovations and EFI/VUTEk. These companies have introduced products that compete with the NUR Tempo. There were also a growing number of manufacturers in the Asia Pacific region (especially China and Korea) that began developing, manufacturing and selling inexpensive printers. In the years prior to the sale of our business to HP, these manufacturers have started to penetrate the international market.

Trade Secrets, Patents and Proprietary Rights

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the sale of our business to HP, we relied on a combination of trade secrets, licenses and patents, together with non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products and intellectual property. We cannot provide any assurance that our existing or previously owned patents will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us or HP in the future, in connection with intellectual property we sold to HP. The cost of responding to such assertions, regardless of their validity, could be significant. In addition, such claims may be found to be valid and could result in awards against us or HP, which could have a material effect on our results or on the amounts deposited in the escrow account in connection with the HP Transaction.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We believe that our success was less dependent upon the legal protection afforded by patent and other proprietary rights than on the knowledge, ability, experience and technological expertise of our employees and our key suppliers. It was our policy to have employees sign confidentiality agreements, and to have third parties sign non-disclosure agreements. Although we take and have in the past taken precautionary measures to maintain our trade secrets, no assurance can be given that others have not acquired equivalent trade secrets or otherwise gained access to or disclosed our proprietary technology.

Investment Company Act of 1940

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Regulation under the Investment Company Act governs almost every aspect of a registered investment companys operations and can be very onerous. The Investment Company Act, among other things, limits an investment companys capital structure, borrowing practices and transactions between an investment company and its affiliates, and restricts the issuance of traditional options, warrants and incentive compensation arrangements, imposes requirements concerning the composition of an investment companys board of directors and requires shareholder approval of certain policy changes. In addition, contracts made in violation of the Investment Company Act are void.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

An investment company organized outside of the United States is not permitted to register under the Investment Company Act without an order from the SEC permitting it to register and, prior to being permitted to register, it is not permitted to publicly offer or promote its securities in the United States.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As a result of the sale of our business to HP, we could fall within the definition of an investment company under the Investment Company Act. During the twelve-month period following the sale of our business to HP, we were not deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act, because we relied on an exemption from that act for transient investment companies for a twelve-month period. As we have not entered into a business combination or developed an operating business and such period has expired, unless we limit the nature of our investments and assets and succeed in making strategic controlling investments, we may be deemed to be an investment company. If we were deemed to be an investment company, we would not be permitted to register under the Investment Company Act without an order from the SEC permitting us to register because we are incorporated outside of the United States and, prior to being permitted to register, we would not be permitted to publicly offer or promote our securities in the United States. Such order would subject us to additional commitments and regulatory compliance. We may be required to restrict our investments, in the short-term and in the long-term, so as not to fall within the statutory definition of investment company. Such investments might not be as favorable to us as the investments we might make if we were not potentially subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. We seek to conduct our operations, including by way of investing our cash and cash equivalents, to the extent possible, so as not to become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. In addition, because we are actively engaged in exploring and considering strategic investments and business opportunities we do not believe that we are engaged in investment company activities or business.

Shell Company Status

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, we have ceased conducting any operating activity and substantially all of our assets currently consist of cash and cash equivalents. Accordingly, we may be deemed to be a shell company, defined by Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as (1) a company that has no or nominal operations; and (2) either: (i) no or nominal assets; (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our characterization as a shell company subjects us to various restrictions and requirements under the U.S. Securities Laws. In the event we consummate a transaction that causes us to cease being a shell company, we are required to file a report on Form 20-F within four business days of the closing of such transaction. The Form 20-F is required to include full disclosure with respect to the acquired business and our post-transaction status, including financial statements reflecting the affect of the transaction on our financial position.

C. Organizational Structure

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, we operated our business through wholly-owned subsidiaries that conducted sales and marketing activities in pre-defined geographical regions.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As part of the HP Transaction, we sold our holdings in three wholly owned subsidiaries (NUR Europe, NUR Japan and NUR Do Brazil) to several of HPs subsidiaries. Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, we wholly own, directly and indirectly, several subsidiaries that are currently inactive and we are in the process of dissolving, or have already arranged for the dissolution of, a number of such inactive subsidiaries.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

D. Property, Plants and Equipment

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, our production facilities were located in Lod, Israel and Ashkelon, Israel and our main office was located in Lod, Israel. We also leased additional premises (offices, demo centers and storage spaces) in Europe, the United States, Asia Pacific and Japan. Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, most of our operating and capital lease commitments were assumed by HP or its subsidiaries or terminated. We have retained a lease of premises of our US subsidiary, NUR America, which is fully sub-leased to a third party.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We currently lease temporary office space in Herzliya, Israel, until we locate an office space that will suit our new operations and requirements.

ITEM 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based upon our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our operating and financial review and prospects should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, accompanying notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the sale of our wide-format printing business to HP, consummated on February 29, 2008. As we have not acquired a new operating business during the year ended December 31, 2008, the results of our operations prior to the consummation of the sale of our business to HP are not reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Therefore, the data presented in our consolidated financial statements and in our discussion below are not indicative of our future operating results or financial position.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

A. Operating Results

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Major Left Bold-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

General

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, we were a world leader in the market for the sale of wide format and super-wide format digital printing systems. We developed, manufactured, sold and serviced digital, inkjet color printing systems for on-demand, production, wide format and super-wide format printing. We also supplied ink products that are consumable products for the operation of our printers.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our total revenues increased from $78.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 to $85.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 and amounted to $11.4 million during January and February 2008, prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction. Our net loss for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 was $1.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively and our net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $87 million.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The decrease in revenues in 2008 was primarily due to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Up to the consummation of the HP Transaction on February 29, 2008:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our revenues were derived from the sale of our printers and from the sale of ink products, spare parts and related services.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Cost of sales of printers and related materials included materials, labor, overhead, and other direct or allocated costs involved in the manufacture, warehousing, delivery, support, and maintenance of products.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net research and development expenses were comprised primarily of labor costs, materials consumed and payments to subcontractors, consultants and others. Research and development expenses are carried to the statement of operations as incurred.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Sales and marketing expenses were comprised primarily of salaries and commissions, advertising and promotion costs, trade shows and other marketing activities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. For additional information regarding our significant accounting policies see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included as a part of this annual report on Form 20-F. While all the accounting policies impact the financial statements, certain policies may be viewed to be critical. These policies are most important for the fair portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and are those that require our management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, based upon information available at the time that they are made, historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by United States generally accepted accounting principles and does not require managements judgment in its application. There are also areas in which managements judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our management believes that the significant accounting policies which affected managements more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and which are, following the sale of our business to HP as described above, the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include those in respect to: income tax and litigation. During the period prior to the sale of our business to HP, the most critical accounting policies in our managements view include those with respect to: revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, income taxes, litigation and stock-based compensation.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Income Taxes

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income tax.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Although we believe we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Litigation

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our management accrues liabilities related to litigation brought against us when the amount or a range of the potential loss can be estimated and it is probable that a loss will be incurred. In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, we assess the allegations made and the likelihood that we will successfully defend ourselves. When we believe that it is probable that we will not prevail in a particular matter, we then estimates the amount of the liability based in part on advice of legal counsel. As litigation progresses, we continue to assess our potential liability and revise our estimates accordingly. Such revisions in our estimates could materially impact our results of operations and financial position. Estimates of litigation liability affect our other accounts payable and accrued expenses line item in our consolidated balance sheet and our general and administrative expense line item in our statement of operations.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Stock-Based Compensation

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We account for equity-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires the exercise of judgment, including the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ from these estimates, equity-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be impacted. We estimate the fair value of employee stock options using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The fair value of an award is affected by our stock price on the date of grant as well as other assumptions including the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the awards and the estimated period of time that we expect employees to hold their stock options. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon United States treasury interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the awards. We use the historical volatility of our publicly traded stock options in order to estimate future stock price trends. In order to determine the estimated period of time that we expect employees to hold their stock options, we have used historical behavioral patterns rates of employee groups by job classification. Our expected dividend rate is zero since we do not currently pay cash dividends on our ordinary shares and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenue Recognition

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

During the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, we generated revenues from the sale of printers, inks and consumable products and from servicing our products. We generated revenues from the sale of our products directly to end-users and indirectly through independent distributors. Revenues from these independent distributors were deferred until our products were installed in their customers premises, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria were met.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues from printer sales were recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements upon installation, provided that the collection of the resulting receivable was probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, no significant obligations in respect of installation remained and the price was fixed or determinable. We did not grant a right of return.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

When a sale involved multiple elements, such as sales of printers that included a right to receive specified upgrades or an extended warranty agreement, the entire fee from the arrangement was evaluated under Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. In such arrangements Ellomay accounted for the separate elements as different units of accounting, provided that the delivered element had value to the customer on a standalone basis and there was objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered element. In cases where there was no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered element, Ellomay accounted for the total arrangement as one unit of accounting. As such, we recognized revenue for the arrangement only when all revenue recognition criteria were met for the undelivered element.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We considered all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond the standard payment terms not to be fixed or determinable. If the fee was not fixed or determinable, revenue was recognized as payments became due from the customer, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria had been met.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues from ink and other consumable products were generally recognized upon shipment, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues from services were comprised of maintenance and support arrangements. Revenues from maintenance and support arrangements were recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In cases where we accepted a trade-in of an old printer as part of a sale of a new printer, the fair value of the old printer was recorded as revenue, provided that such value could be determined. If such value could not be determined, the old printer was recorded at a zero value. The amount of revenues recognized for the transaction equaled the fair value of the old printer plus any monetary consideration received.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We followed very specific and detailed guidelines, several of which are discussed above, in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue recognition policy.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our revenue recognition policy took into consideration the creditworthiness and past transaction history of each customer in determining the probability of collection as a criterion of revenue recognition. This determination required the exercise of judgment, which affected our revenue recognition. If we determined that collection of a fee was not probable, we deferred the revenue recognition.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our management periodically performed evaluations of the composition of accounts receivable and expected credit trends, established an allowance for doubtful accounts on the basis of an aging key and in respect to specific balances whose collection was considered to be in doubt and charged-off receivables deemed uncollectible. The past due status of accounts receivable was determined primarily based upon contractual terms. Our customers included commercial printing companies, sign printers, screen printers, billboard and media companies, professional photo labs, and digital printing service providers. Among our customers, there were small and medium size businesses, which were sensitive to adverse changes in the market. Such adverse changes include declines in demand for services offered by customers and their inability to obtain financing. As part of the HP Transaction, all of our accounts receivable were acquired by HP.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Inventory Valuation

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

At each balance sheet date, we evaluated our inventory balance for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation included an analysis of sales levels by product line and projections of future demand. In addition, we wrote off inventories that were considered obsolete. Remaining inventory balances were adjusted to the lower of cost or market value. As part of the HP Transaction, all of our inventory balances were acquired by HP.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Major Left Bold-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The impact of SFAS 141R on the Companys consolidated results of operations and financial condition will depend on the nature and size of acquisitions, if any, subsequent to the effective date.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, and FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" (FSP No. FAS 157-2) Collectively, the Staff Positions defer the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at least annually, and amend the scope of Statement 157. We adopted Statement 157 and the related FASB staff positions except for those items specifically deferred under FSP No. FAS 157-2. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157, with respect to nonfinancial assets and liabilities under the scope of the FSP No. FAS 157-2, will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The decrease in the cost of revenue of approximately $45.5 million was mainly attributable to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide format printing business at the end of February 2008. As for the increase in the cost percentage compared with the year ended December 31, 2007, please see our discussion under Gross Profit below.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Cost of revenues-products. Total cost of revenues-products was approximately $8.1 million (or 71.2% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $47.7 million (or 55.7% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2007. The cost of revenue in 2008 included approximately $0.2 million of inventory write off compared with approximately $1.2 million of inventory write off in 2007. The decrease in the cost of revenues-products of approximately $39.6 million was mainly attributable to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Cost of revenues-services. Cost of revenues-services was approximately $2.9 million (or 25% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $8.8 million (or 10.2% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in the cost of revenues-services of approximately $5.9 million was mainly attributable to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide format printing business at the end of February 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Gross Profit. Gross Profit was approximately $0.4 million (or 3.8% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $29.1 million (or 34% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2007.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The reduction in the gross margin is mainly attributable to the fact that only two months of activity are reflected in the report for 2008. Based on our experience in the years prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, a large portion of our revenue was generated during the third month of each quarter, while the expenses were more evenly spread throughout the quarter. Accordingly, as we only operated our business during the first two months of 2008, a higher percentage of expenses and a lower gross margin compared with a full quarter (or year) of activity are reflected. Employee compensation costs related to the HP Transaction also reduced the gross margin.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Expenses. Net research and development costs were approximately $1.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $7.0 million ($7.4 million less $0.4 million of grants received) in the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in research and development costs was mainly attributable to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide format printing business at the end of February 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $3.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to approximately $13.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was mainly attributable to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide format printing business at the end of February 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

General and administrative expenses were approximately $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to approximately $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.3 million was mainly attributable to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide format printing business at the end of February 2008 offset by compensation expenses attributable to such sale, including the acceleration of the remaining unrecognized compensation costs of outstanding options in the approximate amount of $2.2 million and an approximate amount of $1.6 million paid in excess of the fair value of the options repurchased.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Doubtful accounts expenses were $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in doubtful accounts expenses was mainly attributable to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide format printing business at the end of February 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Amortization of other intangible assets was $0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $0.04 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in amortization expenses is due the fact that the intangible assets were fully depreciated as of December 31, 2007.

Financial income was $7.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $1.7 million financial expenses in the year ended December 31, 2007. The change in financial income (expenses) was primarily due to the amortization of the deferred interest following the full repayment of our loans in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 15 Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructuring (SFAS 15). In addition, interest payments in the amounts of $0.5 million and $1.5 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively, were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt (accrued interest) instead of interest expenses in the statement of operations in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 15 (see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements, which are included as a part of this annual report).

Taxes. Taxes on income were $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to taxes on income of $0.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was not significant.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues. Revenues from product sales and services were approximately $85.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $78.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The increase in revenues of $7.6 million was primarily due to the increased demand for our UV-inks following the increase in our install base of UV based systems and the enhanced usage of our systems by our customers. We also saw increased sales of systems in Japan as UV based systems gained more recognition in that market and in the Middle East and Africa region as we increased sales and marketing efforts in that region.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues-products. Revenues from sales of products were approximately $80.2 million (or 93.7% or total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $72.6 million (or 93% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The increase in revenues from products of approximately $7.6 million was mainly attributable to the increase of ink sales by $4.2 million and the increase in equipment sales in Japan, the Middle East and, Africa.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues-services. Revenues from services rendered were approximately $5.4 million (or 6.3% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $5.4 million (or 7% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues from services remained flat mainly due to the decommissioning of older solvent- based printing systems, some of which were replaced with the newer UV based systems, which were supported by warranty provided with every new purchase.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Cost of revenues. The cost of revenues was approximately $56.5 million (or 66% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $51.2 million (or 65.7% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The increase in the cost of revenue of approximately $5.2 million while maintaining a similar cost percentage of revenue was mainly attributed to the increase in the cost of raw materials for equipment manufacturing and spare parts combined with an increase in freight expenses. This increase was offset by a reduction in the cost of materials for ink manufacturing. We wrote off $1.2 million of inventory in 2007 compared with $0.8 million in 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Cost of revenues-products. Total cost of revenues-products was approximately $47.7 million (or 55.7% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $43.9 million (or 56.2% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2006. The cost of revenue in 2007 included $1.2 million of inventory write off compared to $0.8 million of inventory write off in 2006. The need to increase the level of production due to increased customer demand for our UV systems, combined with limited working capital resources did not allow us to negotiate favorable prices as we were forced to concentrate on extending payment terms and flexibility in deliveries in order to hold minimum levels of inventory. This situation also increased our freight charges as many times we preferred to airship lower quantities of materials at a higher cost instead of shipping larger quantities by sea. On the other hand, we continued to increase the quantities of UV-inks we manufactured in our plant and reduce the quantities purchased from third parties, thereby reducing the overall cost per liter and the cost as a percentage of revenue.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Cost of revenues-services. Cost of revenues-services was approximately $8.8 million (or 10.2% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $7.4 million (or 9.5% of total revenues) in the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in the cost of revenues-services was mainly attributable to the increase in the cost of spare parts for the same reasons as described above.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Gross Profit. Gross Profit was approximately $29.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $26.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. The gross profit as a percentage of revenues remained practically flat at 34.0% in the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with 34.3% in the year ended December 31, 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In the second half of 2007 we needed to increase our working capital in order to allow for the increased manufacturing requirements. At the same time we started discussions with potential buyers for the business and therefore delayed the plans for additional capital raise. This placed us in very difficult situation with our suppliers of raw materials. While on the one hand we were increasing purchases, on the other hand we were delaying payments and increasing the perceived risk of those suppliers. Under those circumstances it was very difficult to achieve significant price reductions. In many cases we also had to reduce inventories and use the more expensive airfreight in order to deliver raw materials to the production floor on time. At the same time, our ink business continued to grow and allowed us some more leverage. This, combined with the continued decrease of ink purchases from third parties, resulted in an improvement of the gross margin percentage of our ink sales.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Expenses. Net research and development costs were approximately $7.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 ($7.4 million less $0.4 million of grants received), compared to $5.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in research and development costs was mainly attributable to the additional labor and contractors hired to increase the pace and number of new products and features developed.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $13.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $11.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is mostly attributable to the opening of the new Middle East and Africa region, guaranteed commissions paid to newly hired sales representatives and increased marketing staff and resources at the corporate level in support of the introduction of new products.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

General and administrative expenses were approximately $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to our recording of reductions in legal contingencies in 2006 in contrast to 2007 during which no comparable reductions were recorded and we experienced an increase in legal expenses due to the transaction with HP and additional litigations.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Doubtful accounts expenses were $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to an income of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. During 2006 we placed a significant effort on collecting old balances, including such balances that were previously reserved for, thus generating income from this activity. By 2007, most of those older balances had already been collected. Also, the finance staff at the end of 2007 was largely focused on issues related to the transaction with HP and correspondingly invested less effort in collections, resulting in an increase in the overall accounts receivable balance and the related estimated allowance for doubtful accounts.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Amortization of other intangible assets was $0.04 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Financial expenses increased to $1.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $1.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to exchange rate differences driven primarily by the appreciation of the New Israeli Shekel compared with the US Dollar. In addition, interest payments in the amounts of $1.5 million and $1.3 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively, were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt (accrued interest) instead of interest expenses in the statement of operations in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 15 (see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements, which are included as a part of this annual report).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Taxes. Taxes on income were $0.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to taxes on income of $0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2006, with the increase due to the adoption of FIN 48.

Impact of Inflation, Devaluation and Fluctuation of Currencies

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, most of our sales were in U.S. dollars and in Euro. In addition, a substantial portion of costs were incurred outside of Israel in U.S. dollars or were paid in U.S. dollars, Euro or in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) linked to the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar. Costs not effectively denominated in U.S. dollars are translated to U.S. dollars when recorded, at prevailing exchange rates for the purposes of our consolidated financial statements, and will increase if the rate of inflation in Israel exceeds the devaluation of the Israeli currency against the U.S. dollar, if the timing of such devaluations were to lag considerably behind inflation or if there is a devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Israeli currency not fully offset by price deflation. Consequently, we were affected by changes in the prevailing NIS/U.S. dollar exchange rate.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In addition, our sales of products and services in Europe, as well as purchases of components, were dominated by the Euro. The existence of a balance of Euro based assets which are mostly derived from sale of products and service over Euro based liabilities which are mostly related to purchase of components, exposed us to financial losses deriving from a potential devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. In order to reduce such exposure to the Euro, we offset balances of Euro based assets by taking loans in Euro.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The consideration received from HP upon consummation of the HP Transaction was denominated in U.S. dollars and has since been deposited in U.S. dollar denominated accounts. Some of the liabilities we retained were denominated in other currencies (most notably severance payments in Israel). As a result of the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the New Israeli Shekel, the value of those liabilities increased. We currently conduct our business in Israel and a significant portion of our expenses are in NIS. We therefore expect to continue to be affected by changes in the prevailing NIS/U.S. dollar exchange rate in the future. We may also be affected by the U.S. dollar exchange rate to the Euro. As we are exploring business opportunities around the world, our investment in prospective businesses may be denominated in non U.S. dollar currencies, and due to the fluctuations in the exchange rates in recent years, we cannot at this time anticipate what impact the prevailing exchange rate will have on our future investments.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Euro was revaluated against the U.S. dollar by approximately 11.3% in 2006, revaluated by approximately 11.7% in 2007 and devaluated by approximately 5.3% in 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The annual rate of inflation in Israel was (0.1)% in the year ended December 31, 2006, increased to 3.4% in the year ended December 31, 2007 and increased to 3.8% in the year ended December 31, 2008. The New Israeli Shekel was evaluated by approximately 8.2% against the U.S. dollar in 2006, evaluated by approximately 9.0% in 2007 and evaluated by approximately 1.1% in 2008. We cannot predict the rate of revaluation/devaluation of the New Israeli Shekel against the U.S. dollar in the future and whether these changes will have a material adverse effect on us.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The representative dollar exchange rate for converting the New Israeli Shekel to U.S. dollars, as reported by the Bank of Israel, was NIS 3.802 for one-dollar U.S. on December 31, 2008. The representative dollar exchange rate was NIS 3.846 for one-dollar U.S. on December 31, 2007 and NIS 4.225 on December 31, 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, certain transactions and certain of our balances and the balances of certain of our subsidiaries were denominated in U.S. dollars and are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been remeasured to dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. All transaction gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of income (operations) as financial income or expenses, as appropriate. Prior the HP transaction, for certain subsidiaries whose functional currency has been determined to be their local currency, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and statement of operations items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders equity (deficiency).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The average exchange rates for converting the New Israeli Shekel to U.S. dollars during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 were 4.456, 4.1081 and 3.5878 NIS for one U.S. dollar, respectively. The exchange rate as of March 15, 2009 was NIS 4.171 for one U.S. dollar.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We have incurred operating losses during the last five years. Following the consummation of the HP Transaction and the payment of some related liabilities (including repayment of our short and long-term debt), as of March 15, 2009, we hold approximately $76.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our current plan of operation is to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise. Although we now hold the consideration received from HP in connection with the sale of our business, we may need additional funds if we seek to acquire certain new businesses and operations. If we are unable to raise funds through public or private financing of debt or equity, we will be unable to fund certain business combinations that could ultimately improve our financial results. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We currently have no commitments for additional financing.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, our capital requirements and level of expenses depended upon numerous factors, including the scope and success of our marketing and customer service efforts, and of our research and development activities, as well as the demand for our products and services. As discussed previously, due to the increase in demand for our products and the need to increase our working capital, we would have been required to raise more equity or debt in order to support our growth. Now that the HP Transaction has been consummated, we conduct limited activities and we believe our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We have historically funded our operations primarily through the private sale of our equity securities and commercial bank loans. At December 31, 2008 we had approximately $76 million of cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits compared with $4.3 at December 31, 2007 and $4.9 million at December 31, 2006. We currently invest our excess cash in cash and cash equivalents that are highly liquid.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As of December 31, 2008, we did not have material commitments for capital expenditures.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Operating activities

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In the year ended December 31, 2008, we had a net income of $87 million. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $9.2 million. Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, most of our assets were sold to HP and the cash generated from the sale is reflected in our net cash provided from investment activities.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In the year ended December 31, 2007, we had a net loss of $6.4 million. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.1 million. The main changes in our working capital were: (i) an increase of approximately $4.7 million in trade accounts receivable due mainly to increased level of sales towards the end of the year and reduced focus on collections as our finance personnel world-wide were engaged in the transaction with HP; (ii) an increase of approximately $1.8 million in other accounts receivable, mainly VAT receivable due to the increased level of materials purchasing; (iii) an increase of approximately $4.5 million in inventories due to the increased production levels; and (iv) an increase of approximately $9.8 million in trade payables due mainly to increased production levels and delays in payments beyond the agreed-upon payment terms.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In the year ended December 31, 2006, we had a net loss of $1.9 million. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $6.5 million. The main changes in our working capital were: (i) an increase of approximately $2.4 million in trade accounts receivable due to the increased level of sales in Q4 compared with the sales in Q4 of 2005 when the company had limited financial resources to fund its working capital; (ii) a decrease of approximately $2.6 million in deferred revenues which represents additional revenue recognized in 2006 for which payments were made by the customers already in prior periods; and (iii) an increase of approximately $4.4 million in inventories due to the increased level of production activity following the increased demand for our products compared with the previous year.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, we have ceased conducting any operating activity and currently substantially all of our assets consist of cash and cash equivalents. We now only conduct activities relating to attempting to locate business opportunities and strategic alternatives, activities relating to the investment of our funds and activities relating to the winding up of the operations that were not transferred to HP and the remaining aspects relating to the transfer of the business to HP. We cannot at this point predict whether following the consummation of a business transaction we will have sufficient working capital in order to fund our operations.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Investing activities

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $54.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to proceeds from the HP Transaction.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily due to investments in our IT infrastructure and in equipment for our ink plant to support the increased quantities manufactured.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily due to investment in leasehold improvements and the purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $1.6 million.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Financing activities

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net cash used in financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $22.2 million, deriving primarily from the repayment of short and long-term loans and the repurchase of employee stock options.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $4.6 million, deriving primarily from the issuance of shares and warrants in the aggregate net amount of $6.1 million offset by the payment of long-term debt, including interest on restructured debt, in the amount of $1.6 million.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $3.6 million, deriving primarily from the issuance of shares and warrants in the aggregate net amount of $7.0 million, offset by a $1.8 million decrease in short-term bank credit and short-term bank loans and payment of long-term debt, including interest on restructured debt, in the amount of $1.6 million.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, we maintained long and short-term credit facilities, excluding accrued interest on restructured debt and a note from a related party, in an aggregate amount of approximately $22.0 million as of December 31, 2007. During 2006 and 2007, we did not make any principal payments on our long-term loans. As previously noted, interest payments in the amounts of $1.3 million and $1.5 million for 2006 and 2007, respectively, were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the accrued interest in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 15 Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructuring (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Upon consummation of the HP Transaction, we repaid our short-term debt to banks in the amount of $9.8 million and, in early April 2008, we fully repaid our long-term debt to banks in the amount of $12.1 million. We were released from all outstanding guarantees during the period following the consummation of the HP Transaction. Following the repayment of the loans and the release from the guarantees, the Banks terminated the floating liens and the securities given by our subsidiaries were terminated. In addition, in May 2008 the subordinated notes that were assigned by the Banks to Fortissimo were cancelled effective March 30, 2008. As a result of the repayment of our long-term and short-term loans, as of December 31, 2008, we had no outstanding debt to any bank or other lending financial institution.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As of December 31, 2008, our total current assets amounted to approximately $78 million, out of which $76 million was in cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits, compared with total current liabilities of approximately $2 million.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As of December 31, 2007, our total current assets amounted to approximately $44.6 million, out of which $4.3 million was in cash and cash equivalents, compared with total current liabilities of approximately $49.4 million. The main reason for the difference between the current liabilities and the current assets is the classification of the note to related parties in the short-term liabilities. The note was valid through November 2008 and it was due to expire without payment unless we entered into liquidation procedures prior to the termination of the note. As stated above, the note was cancelled in May 2008, effective as of March 30, 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As of December 31, 2006, our total current assets amounted to approximately $34.0 million, out of which $4.9 million was in cash and cash equivalents, compared with total current liabilities of approximately $33.6 million. The decrease in cash was used to finance the increase in accounts receivable and inventory driven by the growth of our business and to repay a short-term loan.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The increase in our cash balance is due to the sale of our business to HP and the cessation of our wide-format printing business at the end of February 2008.

Outstanding Warrants

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As of March 15, 2009, we had outstanding warrants to purchase a total of 41,173,526 ordinary shares, all of which are currently exercisable.

D. Trend Information

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Following the consummation of the sale of our business to HP, we are no longer active in the wide-format printing industry and are subject to certain restrictions with respect to future operations in this field. Our current plan of operation is to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise. While we are actively exploring strategic transactions and opportunities, we have not targeted any particular industry or specific business within an industry in which to pursue such opportunities. There is no assurance that any of these alternatives will be pursued or, if one is pursued, the timing thereof, the terms on which it would occur, the type of industry that will be involved and the success of such activity. Therefore, our financial data reported in this Annual Report is not necessarily indicative of our future operating results or financial position.

In connection with the HP Transaction, our Board approved the acceleration of the vesting of all outstanding employee stock options, including all stock options held by members of senior management and the repurchase, subject to the fulfillment of regulatory requirements, of currently outstanding employee stock options to purchase approximately 9.9 million ordinary shares of the Company. The aggregate consideration for such employee stock options is expected to be up to $3.8 million.

This resolution does not apply to options held by our non-employee directors. Following the payment of $3.1 million, all repurchased stock options were cancelled and the number of shares reserved for issuance under our 2000 stock option plan was reduced accordingly. Any outstanding employee stock option that was not repurchased, was terminated pursuant to its terms following the termination of employment of the vast majority of our employees in connection with the consummation of the HP Transaction.

Each of these directors (Anita Leviant, Oded Akselrod, Lauri Hanover and Alon Lumbroso) also receives an annual grant of options to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares under the terms and conditions set forth in Ellomays 1998 Non-Employee Director Share Option Plan as more fully described below.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In 1998, we adopted the 1998 Non-Employee Director Share Option Plan (the 1998 Plan) to provide for grants of options to purchase ordinary shares to non-employee directors of Ellomay. The 1998 Plan, as amended, is administered, subject to Board approval, by the Non-Employee Director Share Option Committee. An aggregate amount of not more than 750,000 ordinary shares is reserved for grants under the 1998 Plan. The original expiration date of the 1998 Plan pursuant to its terms was December 8, 2008 (10 years after adoption). At the General Meeting of our shareholders, held on January 31, 2008, the term of the 1998 Plan was extended and as a result it will expire on December 8, 2018, unless earlier terminated by the Board.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"

Under the 1998 Plan, each non-employee director that served on the 1998 Grant Date, as defined below, automatically received an option to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares on such Grant Date and will receive an option to purchase an additional 10,000 ordinary shares on each subsequent Grant Date thereafter, provided that he or she is a non-employee director on the Grant Date and has remained a non-employee director for the entire period since the previous Grant Date. The Grant Date means, with respect to 1998, October 26, 1998, and with respect to each subsequent year, August 1 of such year. Directors first elected or appointed after the 1998 Grant Date, will automatically receive on such directors first day as a director an option to purchase up to 10,000 ordinary shares prorated based on the number of full months of service between the prior Grant Date and the next Grant Date. Each such non-employee director would also automatically receive, as of each subsequent Grant Date, an option to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares provided that he or she is a non-employee director on the Grant Date and has served as a non-employee director for the entire period since the previous Grant Date.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The exercise price of the option shares under the 1998 Plan is 100% of the fair market of such ordinary shares at the applicable Grant Date. The fair market value means, as of any date, the average closing bid and sale prices of the ordinary shares for the date in question as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. through Nasdaq or any similar organization if Nasdaq is no longer reporting such information, or such other market on which the ordinary shares are then traded, or if not then traded, as determined in good faith (using customary valuation methods) by resolution of the members of the Board of Directors of Ellomay, based on the best information available to it. The exercise price is required to be paid in cash.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The term of each option granted under the 1998 Plan is 10 years from the applicable date of grant. All options granted vest immediately upon the date of grant.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The options granted would be subject to restrictions on transfer, sale or hypothecation. All options and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of options granted to the non-employee directors of Ellomay could be withheld until the payment of taxes due with respect to the grant and exercise (if any) of such options.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

No person can serve as an external director if the persons position or other business creates, or may create, conflicts of interest with the persons responsibilities as an external director, or if the person is an employee of the Israel Securities Authority or of an Israeli stock exchange. Until the lapse of two years from termination of office, a company may not engage an external director to serve as an office holder and cannot employ or receive services from that person, either directly or indirectly, including through a corporation controlled by that person. Regulations promulgated under Israeli law set the minimum and maximum compensation that may be paid to statutory external directors.

Duties of Office Holders and Approval of Certain Transactions Under the Israeli Companies Law

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Companies Law codifies the duty of care and fiduciary duties that an office holder has to our company. An office holder is defined under the Companies Law as a director, general manager, chief business manager, vice general manager, other manager directly subordinate to the general manager and any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of the foregoing positions without regard to such persons title. The duty of care requires an office holder to act at a level of care that a reasonable office holder in the same position would employ under the same circumstances. This includes the duty to utilize reasonable means to obtain (i) information regarding the appropriateness of a given action brought for his or her approval or performed by the office holder by virtue of his or her position and (ii) all other information of importance pertaining to the foregoing actions. The duty of loyalty includes avoiding any conflict of interest between the office holders position in the company and his or her personal affairs or other positions, avoiding any competition with the company, avoiding exploiting any business opportunity of the company in order to receive personal gain for himself or herself or for others, and disclosing to the company any information or documents relating to the companys affairs which the office holder has received due to his or her position as such. Each person identified as a director or member of our senior management in the first table in the section, other than employees of our subsidiaries, is an office holder.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Companies Law requires that an office holder of a company promptly disclose to the companys board of directors any personal interest that he or she may have, and all related material information known to him in connection with any existing or proposed transaction by the company. This disclosure must be made by the office holder, whether orally or in writing, no later than the first meeting of the companys board of directors which discusses the particular transaction. An office holder is deemed to have a personal interest if he, certain members of his family, or a corporation in which he or any one of those family members is a 5% or greater shareholder or exercises or has the right to exercise control, has an interest in a transaction with the company. An Extraordinary Transaction is defined as a transaction other than in the ordinary course of business, not on market terms, or that is likely to have a material impact on the companys profitability, assets or liabilities.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In the case of a transaction that is not an Extraordinary Transaction, after the Office Holder complies with the above disclosure requirements, only board approval is required. The transaction must not be adverse to the companys interests. In the case of an Extraordinary Transaction, the companys audit committee and board of directors, and, under certain circumstances, the shareholders of the company, must approve the transaction, in addition to any approval stipulated by the articles. An office holder who has a personal interest in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may not be present at this meeting or vote on this matter, unless a majority of the members of the board of directors or audit committee, respectively, have a personal interest in the matter, in which case they may all be present and vote. In the event a majority of the members of the board of directors have a personal interest in a matter, such matter must be also approved by the shareholders of the company.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Immediately prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, there were outstanding options to purchase 10,079,400 of our ordinary shares that were granted to our employees. In connection with the HP Transaction, the vesting of all such employee options was accelerated and all became immediately exercisable upon consummation of the sale of our business to HP on February 29, 2008. As more fully described herein, 9,893,550 of such options were thereafter purchased by us and cancelled in July 2008. Any options not repurchased (due to their relatively high exercise price) were canceled during 2008 pursuant to their terms and the terms of the 2000 Stock Option Plan.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The options granted to directors under the 1998 Plan are not subject to vesting requirements and have an exercise price ranging from $0.31 to $1.86 per share, with various expiration dates.

2000 Stock Option Plan

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In 2000, we adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the 2000 Plan) to provide for grants of service and non-employee options to purchase ordinary shares to our officers, employees, directors and consultants. The 2000 Plan provides that it may be administered by the Board, or by a committee appointed by the Board, and is currently administered by the Stock Option and Compensation Committee subject to Board approval.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

At the annual shareholders meetings held on November 18, 2003 and October 27, 2004, our shareholders approved increases in the number of ordinary shares authorized for issuance under the 2000 Plan (as amended) to 2,997,590.

Section 12 of the 2000 Plan provided originally that the 2000 Plan will expire on August 31, 2008, unless previously terminated or extended by the Board. At our Board meeting held on June 23, 2008, our Board resolved to amend Section 12 of the 2000 Plan to extend its term until August 31, 2018.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our Board has broad discretion to determine the persons entitled to receive options under the 2000 Plan, the terms and conditions on which options are granted, and the number of ordinary shares subject thereto. Our Board delegated to our management its authority to issue ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of options under the 2000 Plan. The exercise price of the options under the 2000 Plan is determined by our Stock Option and Compensation Committee, provided, however, that the exercise price of any option granted shall not be less than eighty percent (80%) of the stock value at the date of grant of such options. The stock value at any time is equal to the then current fair market value of our ordinary shares. For purposes of the 2000 Plan (as amended), the fair market value means, as of any date, the last reported closing price of the ordinary shares on such principal securities exchange on the most recent prior date on which a sale of the ordinary shares took place.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our Stock Option and Compensation Committee determines the term of each option granted under the 2000 Plan, including the vesting period; provided, however, that the term of an option shall not be for more than 10 years. Upon termination of employment, all unvested options lapse.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The options granted are subject to restrictions on transfer, sale or hypothecation. Options and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of options granted to our Israeli employees are held in a trust until the payment of all taxes due with respect to the grant and exercise (if any) of such options.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"

We have elected the benefits available under the capital gains alternative of Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance. Pursuant to this election, capital gains derived by employees arising from the sale of shares acquired as a result of the exercise of options granted to them under Section 102, will be subject to a flat capital gains tax rate of 25% (instead of the gains being taxed as salary income at the employees marginal tax rate). However, as a result of this election, we will no longer be allowed to claim as an expense for tax purposes the amounts credited to such employees as a benefit when the related capital gains tax is payable by them, as we were previously entitled to do. We may change its election from time to time, as permitted by the Tax Ordinance. There are various conditions that must be met in order to qualify for these benefits, including registration of the options in the name of a trustee (the Trustee) for each of the employees who is granted options. Each option, and any ordinary shares acquired upon the exercise of the option, must be held by the Trustee for a period commencing on the date of grant and ending no earlier than 24 months after the date of grant.

Changes in Options Following Consummation of the HP Transaction

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In connection with the HP Transaction, our Board of Directors approved the immediate acceleration of all outstanding employee stock options that were outstanding as of the date of execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Our Board of Directors further approved the offer to employees who hold outstanding stock options with exercise prices below $1.00 to repurchase their outstanding stock options, subject to and following the fulfillment of all regulatory requirements. The employees received offers from us, setting forth the consideration offered for such options. The employees were generally offered a choice between two methods of payment.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The first method entails receipt, subject to and following fulfillment of regulatory requirements, of 75% of the consideration and receipt of up to 25% of the consideration following release of the monies deposited in escrow in connection with the HP Transaction. The exact amount of the second payment, if any, will be determined based on the net cash generated by us from our remaining assets and liabilities based on the criteria set forth by our Board and such amount will bear interest equal to the interest rate applicable to the monies deposited in the escrow account in connection with the HP Transaction commencing March 1, 2008. The second method entails receipt, subject to and following fulfillment of regulatory requirements, of 90% of the consideration without entitlement to any additional payment in the future.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Under both payment methods, all outstanding options were to terminate immediately upon receipt of the first (or in the case of the second method, only) payment.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The offer to repurchase options was made to employees holding an aggregate of options to purchase approximately 9.9 million of our ordinary shares and the aggregate purchase price is up to approximately $3.8 million.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Based on the election of the employees between the two methods of payment described herein, on July 2008 we paid approximately $3.1 million in consideration for the options resulting in the immediate cancellation of options to repurchase 9,893,550 of our ordinary shares. The remainder, in the amount of up to $0.7 million, will be paid subject to the terms of the first method of payment set forth above.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Pursuant to the terms of our option plans, all options that were not repurchased expired 90 days following the termination of employment of the employees holding such options.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"

As a result of the purchase of the options and the cancellation of the options as set forth above, on March 15, 2009 the number of ordinary shares authorized for issuance under the 2000 Plan was 7,272,028. Currently, there are no options outstanding under the 2000 Plan.

Where the 2008 Shareholders Agreement is silent as to a matter brought before the shareholders of Ellomay, the parties will agree in advance as to how they will vote. In the event that the parties do not reach an agreement regarding any such matter, they will vote all of their ordinary shares against such matter. In addition, the parties agreed to use their best efforts to amend our articles to require that, if so requested by at least two of our directors, certain matters will require the approval of a simple majority of the outstanding ordinary shares, such as related party transactions and any material change in Ellomays scope of business. At our annual shareholders meeting held on December 30, 2008, our shareholders approved the adoption of our Second Amended and Restated Articles, as requested by Kanir and Nechama Investments and that includes, among other things, the revisions contemplated in the 2008 Shareholders Agreement.

We are a party to various legal proceedings incident to our business. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement with HP, a majority of the litigation we are party to was not assumed by HP or any of its subsidiaries and we continue to be responsible for the management and outcome of such litigation. In addition, we undertook to continue to be responsible for the management and outcome of the outstanding litigation involving NUR Europe, one of our previously wholly-owned subsidiaries that was acquired by HP.

Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or, to our knowledge, threatened against us or our subsidiaries, and we are not involved in any legal proceedings that our management believes, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

In October 2001, Distrade SL, a client of NUR Europe, filed a suit against NUR Europe in the Commercial Court of Brussels, alleging technical defaults in a machine purchased by it. Distrade sought reimbursement of the purchase price it paid amounting to approximately $0.18 million, as well as damages of approximately 0.23 million (or $0.33 million). NUR Europe filed a counterclaim of $0.216 million in respect of unpaid invoices. In October 2007 the court ruled that Distrade was not entitled to any damages and NUR Europe should credit it for the unpaid balance. Distrade was ordered to return the product to NUR Europe. The ruling was deemed final in April 2008 when the official time for appeal passed.

During 2002, two end-users, Jiaxing Dapeng Advertising Limited Company and Guangzhou Junhao Printing Limited Company, filed separate lawsuits in China against subsidiaries of the Company alleging bad quality of products and seeking reimbursement in aggregate amount of $0.584 million. The local court ruled that the subsidiaries should reimburse the clients with the aggregate amounts of $0.472 million. One of subsidiaries is in the process of liquidation and has no assets in China and the other is no longer active in China and based on advice received from legal counsel the judgment against it cannot be enforced in Hong Kong. The clients may file a suit in Hong Kong but have not done so to date. Based on the managements estimate and the opinion of our legal counsel, it is less than likely that the subsidiaries will be required to pay the amount claimed.

During 2003, Julius Heywinkel GmbH, a former supplier and manufacturer of NUR Media Solutions filed suit against NUR Media Solutions in the Court of Osnabrück, Germany, claiming that NUR Media Solutions owed penalties as a result of NUR Media Solutions alleged failure to purchase certain minimum quantities prescribed under an agreement between NUR Media Solutions and Heywinkel. Heywinkel was seeking damages in approximately the amount of 0.93 million (or $ 1.388 million). In February 2006, the Court of Osnabrück ordered NUR Media Solutions to pay Heywinkel an aggregate amount of 1.2 million (or $1.76 million) representing penalties and accrued interest. NUR Media Solutions filed an appeal, which was rejected by the High Regional Court in Oldenburg, Germany in July 2006. During 2007, NUR Media Solutions reached an agreement with Heywinkel to pay the amount due over a period of 40 months and, pursuant to the terms of the payment arrangement, Ellomay provided a guarantee for the debt of NUR Media Solutions to Heywinkel. Following the consummation of the HP Transaction a second settlement agreement was reached by which the full amount was paid in a lump sum during August 2008.

In September 2003, we filed a suit in the Magistrate Court of Tel Aviv, Israel against R.R. Graphics Ltd., a former distributor in Israel, for the collection of unpaid invoices totaling approximately $0.42 million. In February 2004, R.R. Graphics filed a statement of defense denying our claims and it also filed a counter-claim for alleged damages caused to it by us in the amount of approximately $0.21 million. We believe that the counter-claim that was filed by R.R. Graphics is without merit and that a loss in not probable.

In February 2005, the OCS initiated administrative proceedings for the confiscation of certain of our assets to secure our alleged liability to the OCS of approximately $0.8 million in unpaid royalties related to the sale of equipment. On February 21, 2005, we filed a suit with the District Court in Jerusalem against the OCS and the Marketing Fund requesting a declaratory judgment denying the OCS claim for royalties and for the recovery of approximately $0.27 million that was previously paid to the OCS. We also filed a motion requesting the court to direct the OCS to cease and cancel the confiscations procedures. In February 2006, the court approved a settlement between Ellomay and the OCS. Under the terms of the approved settlement, we were required to make aggregate payments of approximately $0.6 million to the OCS and approximately $0.78 million to the Marketing Fund over a three-year period. As of December 31, 2008, the debt to the OCS and the debt to the Marketing Fund have been fully repaid.

B. Memorandum of Association and Second Amended and Restated Articles

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Set forth below is a brief description of certain provisions contained in the Memorandum of Association, the Second Amended and Restated Articles, adopted by our shareholders at our general meeting held on December 30, 2008, as well as certain statutory provisions of Israeli law. The Memorandum of Association and the Articles are incorporated by reference herein. The description of certain provisions does not purport to be a complete summary of these provisions and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Authorized Share Capital

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The authorized share capital of Ellomay is one hundred seventy million (170,000,000) New Israeli Shekels, divided into one hundred and seventy million ordinary shares, NIS 1.00 par value per share.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Due to the fact that we were incorporated prior to 1999, the year the Companies Law was enacted, a special majority of 75% of the shares voting on the matter is required in order to amend our Memorandum, which includes changes to our capital structure, such as an increase in our authorized capital.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

At our general meeting held on December 30, 2008, our shareholders resolved to effect a reverse share split of our ordinary shares (on the effective date to be determined by our Board) where each ten ordinary shares will be consolidated into one single ordinary share of NIS 10.00 nominal value, such that our registered share capital will be divided into 17,000,000 ordinary shares. Our shareholders further resolved that all fractional shares which are one-half share or more will be increased to the next higher whole number of shares and all fractional shares which are less than one-half share will be decreased to the next lower whole number of shares and to authorize our Board to determine the timing of the reverse share split and also to determine not to implement the reverse share split, all based on our Boards judgment of our best interests.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

As more fully described in the proxy statement sent to our shareholders prior to the December 30, 2008 meeting, the purpose of the reverse share split is to enable us to meet the minimum bid price initial listing requirement of the NASDAQ Global Market. As we cannot currently attempt to list our shares on the NASDAQ Global Market due, among other things, to our lack of operations, our current intention is to implement the reverse share split prior to the closing of a business combination and to attempt to list our shares on the NASDAQ Global Market in conjunction with the closing of such business combination. Subsequently to the publication of our proxy statement, the NASDAQ issued new listing requirements, reducing the minimum bid price from $5.00 to $4.00 in all NASDAQ markets. We cannot predict if and when our ordinary shares will begin trading on the NASDAQ Global Market or any other NASDAQ market and cannot assure you that following the reverse share split the market price per each of our ordinary shares will either exceed or remain in excess of the $4.00 per share minimum bid price as required to meet the initial listing requirements for the NASDAQ Global Market. In addition, we cannot predict whether, or assure you that, we will otherwise meet the initial listing requirements and thereafter the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market.

Purpose and Objective

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We are a public company registered under the Companies Law as Ellomay Capital Ltd., registration number 52-003986-8. Pursuant to Article 3.1 of our Articles, our objective is to undertake any lawful activity, including any objective set forth in our Memorandum of Association. Pursuant to Article 3.2 of our Articles, our purpose is to operate in accordance with commercial considerations with the intentions of generating profits. In addition, we may contribute reasonable amounts for any suitable purpose even if such contributions do not fall within our business considerations. The Board may determine the amounts of the contributions, the purpose for which the contribution is to be made, and the recipients of any such contribution.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Board of Directors

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Under the Companies Law, the Board is authorized to set our strategy and supervise the performance of the duties and actions of our chief executive officer. Our Board may not delegate to a committee of the Board or the chief executive officer the right to decide on certain of the authorities vested in it, including determination of our strategy, distributions, certain issuances of securities and approval of financial reports. The powers conferred upon the Board are vested in the Board as a collective body and not in each one or more of the directors individually. Unless otherwise set forth in a resolution of the shareholders, the Board shall consist of not less than four (4) nor more than eight (8) directors (including any external directors whose appointment is mandated under the Companies Law).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The directors are elected annually at a general meeting of shareholders and remain in office until the next annual meeting at which time they retire, unless their office is previously vacated as provided in the Articles. A retiring director may be reelected. If no directors are elected at the annual meeting, all of the retiring directors remain in office pending their replacement at a general meeting. Holders of the ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Consequently, the holders of ordinary shares in the aggregate conferring more than 50% of the voting power, represented in person or by proxy, will have the power to elect all the directors. Pursuant to the Companies Law, publicly traded companies must appoint at least two external directors to serve on their Board of Directors and Audit Committee. For further information concerning external directors see Item 6.C: Board Practices.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that an office holder has to a company. An office holders fiduciary duties consist of a Duty of Loyalty and a Duty of Care. For more information concerning these duties, the approval process of certain transactions and other board practices see Item 6.C: Board Practices.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Under the Companies Law, all arrangements with regard to the compensation of office holders who are not directors require the approval of the board of directors. Arrangements regarding the compensation of directors require audit committee, board and shareholder approval. Borrowing powers exercisable by the directors are not specifically outlined in the Companys Articles.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

No person shall be disqualified to serve as a director by reason of his not holding shares in Ellomay. Additionally, there is no age limit for the retirement of directors.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Chairman of the Board

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our Articles provide that our Chairman of the Board shall have no casting vote, unless (i) the Chairman of the Board is then Mr. Shlomo Nehama and (ii) Nechama Investments, together with any Affiliates (as defined in our Articles) thereof, then holds at least 25.05% of our outstanding shares. Our Articles further provide that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in case Mr. Shlomo Nehama elects to exercise his casting vote in respect of a specific resolution brought before the Board (the Triggering Resolution), then (a) prior to such exercise, Nechama Investments shall be required to trigger the Buy Me Buy You mechanism set forth in Section 6 of the 2008 Shareholders Agreement as an Offering Party (as defined in the 2008 Shareholders Agreement), whereby the Triggering Resolution will be pending until the consummation of the sale of the Restricted Shares (as defined in the 2008 Shareholders Agreement) of one party to the 2008 Shareholders Agreement to the other party of the 2008 Shareholders Agreement in accordance with such Buy Me Buy You mechanism; and (b) in the event that three (3) directors of our so require, the Triggering Resolution shall be conditioned upon the approval of our General Meeting pursuant to Article 25.1 of the Articles (requiring a special majority of 50.1% of the outstanding shares). Upon a transfer of the Restricted Shares by Kanir to third party in accordance with the terms of the 2008 Shareholders Agreement, the casting vote of the Chairman of the Board shall expire.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Rights of Shareholders

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

No preemptive rights are granted to holders of ordinary shares under the Articles or the Companies Law. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters to be voted on by shareholders, including the election of directors. Non-residents of Israel may freely hold and trade the ordinary shares pursuant to general and specific permits issued under Israels Currency Control Law, 1978. Neither the Memorandum of Association nor the Articles make any distinction between residents and non-residents of Israel with respect to the ownership of ordinary shares. The Memorandum of Association, the Articles and Israeli law do not make any distinction between residents and non-residents of Israel with respect to the voting rights related thereto.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

An annual meeting of shareholders must be held once in every calendar year at such time (within a period of not more than fifteen months after the last preceding annual meeting) and at such place as may be determined by the Board. The Board may, at any time, convene Extraordinary General Meetings of shareholders, and shall be obligated to do so upon receipt of a requisition in writing of (i) two directors or one quarter of the directors holding office; and/or (ii) one or more shareholders holding at least 5% of the issued capital and at least 1% of the voting rights in the Company; and/or (iii) one or more shareholders holding at least 5% of the voting rights in the Company. A requisition must detail the objects for which the meeting must be convened and shall be signed by the persons requisitioning it and sent to the Companys registered office. Where the Board of Directors is required to convene a special meeting, it shall do so within 21 days of the requisition being submitted. Prior to any general meeting a written notice thereof shall be made public as required by Israeli law. The Articles provided that we shall not be required to deliver notice to each shareholder, except as may be specifically required by Israeli law. The Articles further provide that a notice by us of a general meeting that is published in one international wire service shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of such publication.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Two or more members present in person or by proxy and holding shares conferring in the aggregate more than 25% of the total voting power attached to our shares shall constitute a quorum at general meetings. If a meeting is adjourned due to the lack of a quorum (and provided that it was not convened due to the requisition of certain shareholders), any two shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the subsequent adjourned meeting, will constitute a quorum. Unless provided otherwise by the terms of issue of the shares, no member shall be entitled to be present or vote at a general meeting (or to be counted as part of the quorum) unless all amounts due as of the date designated for same general meeting with respect to his shares were paid. A resolution shall be deemed adopted if the requisite quorum is present and the resolution is supported by members present, in person or by proxy, vested with more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power attached to the shares whose holders were present, in person or by proxy, at such meeting and voted thereon, or such other percentage required by law or set forth in the Articles from time to time.

In addition, the agreement provides that in the event the parties do not reach an agreement regarding certain resolution proposed to the Companys shareholders meeting, the parties shall vote all of their shares against such proposed resolution. For further information with respect to the shareholders agreement, see Item 7.A.: Major Shareholders under the caption 2008 Shareholders Agreement.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Changing Rights Attached to Shares

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

According to our Articles, in order to change the rights attached to any class of shares, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the class, such change must be adopted by a general meeting of the shareholders and by a separate general meeting of the holders of the affected class with a majority of the voting power participating in such meeting. The provisions of the Articles relating to General Meetings of our shareholders shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any separate General Meeting of the holders of the shares of a specific class; provided, however, that the requisite quorum at any such separate General Meeting shall be one or more members present in person or by proxy and holding not less than thirty three and one third percent (33 1/3%) of the issued shares of such class.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the quorum requirement for General Meetings and for separate General Meetings for holders of a specific class may be satisfied with the presence of at least two members present in person or by proxy and holding not less than 25% of the outstanding shares, or the shares of such class, as the case may be.

Dividends and Profits

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our Board may from time to time, subject to the provisions of Companies Law, declare and order the payment of a dividend from our accrued profits at the rate it may deem, provided that there is no reasonable concern that payment of such dividend may prevent us from meeting our current and expected liabilities when they become due. Upon recommendation by the Board, dividends may be paid, in whole or in part, by the distribution of certain of our specific assets and/or by the distribution of shares and/or debentures of Ellomay and/or of any other company, or in any combination of such manners. Subject to special or restricted rights conferred upon the holders of shares as to dividends, if any, the dividends shall be distributed in accordance with our paid-up capital attributable to the shares for which the dividend has been declared. Our obligation to pay dividends or any other amount in respect of shares may be set-off against any indebtedness, however arising, liquidated or non-liquidated, of the person entitled to receive the dividend. Any dividend unclaimed within the period of seven years from the date stipulated for its payment shall be forfeited and returned to us, unless otherwise directed by the Board. In the event of the winding up of Ellomay, then, subject to provisions of any applicable law and to any special or restricted rights attached to a share, our assets in excess of our liabilities will be distributed among the shareholders in proportion to the paid-up capital attributable to the shares in respect of which the distribution is being made.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

No provision in the Articles discriminates against an existing or prospective holder of securities, as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial amount of shares. However, the Companies Law extends the disclosure requirements applicable to Office Holder as described in Item 6.C: Board Practices, to a controlling shareholder in a public company. The Companies Law defines a controlling shareholder the shareholder who can direct the activities of the company, including a person who holds 25% or more of the voting rights at the companys general meeting, provided there is no other person that holds more than 50% of the voting rights in the company. If two or more shareholders are interested parties in the same transaction, their shareholdings are combined for the purposes of calculating percentages. If two or more shareholders are parties to a voting agreement, their interests are also generally combined for the purposes of calculating percentages. Extraordinary transactions between a public company and a controlling shareholder or a controlling shareholders relative, extraordinary transactions in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest but which are between a public company and another entity, and the entering into agreements with the controlling shareholder, or his relative if such relative is an Office Holder, in connection with their terms of compensation, all require the approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and the shareholders. If required, shareholder approval must include at least one-third of the shareholders who have no personal interest in the transaction and are present and voting at the meeting. Alternatively, the total shareholdings of the disinterested shareholders who vote against the transaction must not represent more than one percent of the voting rights in the company.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Under the Companies Regulations (Relief from Related Party Transactions), 2000, promulgated under the Companies Law (the Relief Regulations), certain extraordinary transactions between a company and its controlling shareholder(s), certain undertakings of a company to its directors in connection with their terms of service and certain transactions between a company and its controlling shareholder(s) or their relatives in their capacity as Office Holders of the company may be approved, if the conditions set forth in such regulations are met, without the requirement to obtain shareholder approval. The Relief Regulations require that the companys audit committee and board of directors determine that the conditions set forth in the Relief Regulations are met. One of the alternative conditions for approving an extraordinary transaction with a controlling shareholder is that such transaction only benefits the company. Another available condition is that the transaction is in the ordinary course of business, on market terms, and does not harm the company. The foregoing relief will not apply if one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the companys voting rights objects to the use by the company of such relief, provided that such objection is submitted to the company in writing not later than fourteen (14) days from the date in which companies such as our company reported the adoption of the resolution pursuant to the Relief Regulations to its shareholders. If such objection is duly and timely submitted, then the transaction or compensation arrangement will require shareholders approval as detailed above.

Anti-takeover Provisions; Mergers and Acquisitions under Israeli Law

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Companies Law permits merger transactions with the approval of each partys board of directors and generally requires shareholder approval, as well. Under a recent amendment to the Companies Law, a merger with a wholly owned subsidiary does not require approval of the surviving companys shareholders. A merger does not require approval of the surviving companys shareholders if (i) the merger does not require amending the surviving companys memorandum of association or articles and (ii) the surviving company does not issue more than 20% of its voting power in connection with the merger and pursuant to the issuance no shareholder would become a controlling shareholder. Shareholder approval of the surviving company would nevertheless be required if the other party to the merger, or a person holding more than 25% of the outstanding voting shares or means of appointing the board of directors of the other party to the merger, holds any shares of the surviving company. In accordance with the Companies Law, our Articles provide that a merger may be approved at a shareholders meeting by a majority of the voting power represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on that resolution. The Companies Law provides that in determining whether the required majority has approved the merger, shares held by the other party to the merger, any person holding at least 25% of the outstanding voting shares or means of appointing the board of directors of the other party to the merger, or the relatives or companies controlled by these persons, are excluded from the vote. As described above, our Articles currently provide, under certain circumstances, including a merger of the Company, that two directors may require that, in addition to the majority prescribed by the Companies Law, a merger be approved by a resolution supported by shareholders present, in person or by proxy, vested with at least 50.1% of our outstanding shares.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Under the Companies Law, a merging company must inform its creditors of the proposed merger. Any creditor of a party to the merger may seek a court order blocking the merger, if there is a reasonable concern that the surviving company will not be able to satisfy all of the obligations of the parties to the merger. Moreover, a merger may not be completed until at least 50 days have passed from the time that a merger proposal was filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and 30 days have passed from the shareholder approval of the merger in each merging company.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the company. This rule does not apply if there is already another 25% or greater shareholder of the company. Similarly, the Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would hold greater than a 45% interest in the company, unless there is another shareholder holding more than a 45% interest in the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, the acquisition (1) was made in a private placement that received shareholder approval, (2) was from a 25% or greater shareholder of the company which resulted in the acquiror becoming a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, or (3) was from a shareholder holding more than a 45% interest in the company which resulted in the acquiror becoming a holder of more than a 45% interest in the company.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquiror will hold more than 90% of a companys outstanding shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares. If less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, all the shares that the acquiror offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer. The Companies Law provides for appraisal rights if any shareholder files a request in court within three months following the consummation of a full tender offer. If more than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, then the acquiror may not acquire shares in the tender offer that will cause his shareholding to exceed 90% of the outstanding shares.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Regulations under the Companies Law provide that the Companies Laws tender offer rules do not apply to a company whose shares are publicly traded outside of Israel, if pursuant to the applicable foreign securities laws and stock exchange rules there is a restriction on the acquisition of any level of control of the company, or if the acquisition of any level of control of the company requires the purchaser to make a tender offer to the public shareholders.

Duties of Shareholders

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"

Under the Companies Law, a shareholder has a duty to act in good faith towards the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his or her power in the company including, among other things, when voting in a general meeting of shareholders or in a class meeting on the following matters:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

any amendment to the articles;

approval of related party transactions that require shareholder approval.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

A shareholder has a general duty to refrain from depriving any other shareholder of their rights as a shareholder. In addition, any controlling shareholder, any shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder who has the power to appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder in the company is under a duty to act with fairness towards the company. The Companies Law does not describe the substance of this duty of loyalty.

2007 Private Placement

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Under the subscription agreement entered into between us and each of the investors, we were required, on a best efforts basis, to file a registration statement registering the ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying warrants for resale within six months following the private placement. The investors in the private placement were provided with the same registration rights as those provided to the Fortissimo Entities in connection with their investment in Ellomay in late 2005 (as were reflected in a registration rights agreement executed among us and the Fortissimo Entities) and were also provided with the right to receive partial liquidated damages in the event the Company did not meet certain target dates set forth in the agreement in connection with the registration of the shares. The partial liquidated damages are in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each investor per month of default, subject to an overall limit of up to 24 months of partial liquidated damages. On June 29, 2007, we filed a registration statement for the resale of certain ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying warrants held by several of our shareholders, including the shares and shares underlying warrants issued in January and February 2007. The registration statement became effective on August 3, 2007 and temporarily lost its effectiveness on October 1, 2007, as it was not in compliance with financial disclosure requirements, but regained its effective status on June 30, 2008.

Asset Purchase Agreement with Hewlett-Packard Company

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

On December 9, 2007, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with HP, whereby HP agreed to acquire, directly or through its subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets and business for a cash consideration of $117.5 million and to assume substantially all our business related liabilities. The shares of three of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, NUR Europe, NUR Japan and NUR Do Brazil were also included in the assets HP agreed to acquire. The purchase price was subject to upward or downward adjustment based on the net debt (bank debt less cash balances) of us and our subsidiaries as of the closing date.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Asset Purchase Agreement includes representations and warranties made by us for the benefit of HP, with respect to our structure and various aspects of the business (including environmental and intellectual property issues), which generally survive for a period of eighteen months following the closing of the transaction or, with respect to representations and warranties made by us as to authorization and enforceability, the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The assets and liabilities connected to our business that were not assumed by HP include, among other things, cash balances held by us and our subsidiaries that were not purchased by HP, short and long term bank credit and loans, all costs incurred in respect to the HP Transaction including severance liabilities, rights and obligations in respect to employees not transferred to HP, rights and obligations related to outstanding litigation, claims and disputes; intercompany balances, all tax benefits and obligations with the exception of such benefits and obligations relating to continuing operations from the closing date, assets and obligations in respect of certain government-supported research and development projects and obligations due to or from shareholders.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

We agreed to indemnify HP against damages or losses arising from, among others, any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, any assets or liabilities that were not assumed by HP and certain environmental matters. Our indemnification liability pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to certain customary minimal amount limitations and is also generally limited to amounts deposited in an indemnity escrow ($9.5 million deposited for a period of 18 months and $5 million deposited for a period of 24 months). However, we agreed that claims for indemnity relating to certain liabilities, including, among others, fraud, willing and intentional breach of warranties, liabilities arising in connection with assets or liabilities that were not purchased by HP, failure to comply with certain restrictive covenants, and environmental issues, will not be limited to the amounts deposited in escrow.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Asset Purchase Agreement also contains ongoing covenants on our part, such as undertakings with respect to confidential information and non-solicitation and non-compete restrictions.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

On the APA Closing Date (February 29, 2008), the sale of our business to HP was finalized. The base purchase price pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is $117.5 million. The purchase price was subject to upward or downward adjustment based on the net debt (bank debt less cash balances) of the Company and its subsidiaries that were not purchased by HP as of the APA Closing Date. The purchase price adjustment on such date was approximately $4 million, increasing the total consideration under the Asset Purchase Agreement from $117.5 million to $121.5 million. Following the APA Closing Date, the parties reached a mutual resolution to assign NUR Europes facilities and related capital lease to a third party. Therefore, we were entitled to additional net proceeds (after deduction of HPs expenses in connection with such capital lease and other expenses that were to be borne by us pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement) in the amount of $1.1 million as additional consideration for NUR Europes shares, increasing the aggregate consideration in connection with the HP Transaction to $122.6 million.

Israeli companies are generally subject to company tax on their taxable income. The applicable rate is 31% in 2006, 29% in 2007, 27% in 2008, 26% in 2009 and is scheduled to decline to 25% in 2010 and thereafter. However, the effective tax rate payable by a company which derives income from an approved enterprise may be considerably less, as further discussed below.

Special Provisions Relating to Taxation under Inflationary Conditions

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments), 5745-1985, or the Inflationary Adjustments Law, represents an attempt to overcome the problems presented to a traditional tax system by an economy undergoing rapid inflation. The Inflationary Adjustments Law is highly complex. Its features, which are material to us, can be described as follows:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

there is a special tax adjustment for the preservation of equity which classifies corporate assets into fixed assets and non-fixed assets. Where a companys equity, as defined in the law, exceeds the depreciated cost of fixed assets, a deduction from taxable income that takes into account the effect of the applicable annual rate of inflation on the excess is allowed up to a ceiling of 70% of taxable income in any single tax year, with the unused portion permitted to be carried forward on a linked basis. If the depreciated cost of fixed assets exceeds a companys equity, then the excess multiplied by the applicable annual rate of inflation is added to taxable income;

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

subject to specified limitations, depreciation deductions on fixed assets and losses carried forward are adjusted for inflation based on the increase in the consumer price index; and

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

in specified circumstances, gains on traded securities, which might otherwise be eligible for reduced rates of tax, will be liable to company tax rates, as mentioned above.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In February 2008, the inflation adjustment law was cancelled.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 5729-1969, or the Industry Encouragement Law, provides several tax benefits for industrial companies. An industrial company is defined as a company resident in Israel, at least 90% of the income of which in a given tax year (determined in Israeli currency, exclusive of income from specified government loans, capital gains, interest and dividends) is derived from an industrial enterprise owned by it. An industrial enterprise is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production activity.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Under the Industry Encouragement Law, industrial companies are entitled to a number of corporate tax benefits, including:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

deduction of purchase of know-how and patents over an eight-year period for tax purposes; and

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

the right to elect, under specified conditions, to file a consolidated tax return with additional related Israeli industrial companies and an industrial holding company.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Under some tax laws and regulations, an industrial enterprise may be eligible for special depreciation rates for machinery, equipment and buildings. These rates differ based on various factors, including the date the operations begin and the number of work shifts. An industrial company owning an approved enterprise may choose between these special depreciation rates and the depreciation rates available to the approved enterprise.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Eligibility for benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority.

Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary Shares

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Israeli law generally imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of any capital assets by residents of Israel, as defined for Israeli tax purposes, and on the sale of assets located in Israel, including shares in Israeli companies, by both residents and non-residents of Israel, unless a specific exemption is available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholders country of residence provides otherwise. The law distinguishes between real gain and inflationary surplus. The inflationary surplus is a portion of the total capital gain, which is equivalent to the increase of the relevant assets purchase price, which is attributable to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index between the date of purchase and the date of sale. The real gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the inflationary surplus.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Taxation of Israeli Residents

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The tax rate applicable to capital gains derived from the sale of shares, whether listed on a stock market or not, is 20% for Israeli individuals, unless such shareholder claims a deduction for financing expenses in connection with such shares, in which case the gain will generally be taxed at a rate of 25%. Additionally, if such shareholder is considered a significant shareholder at any time during the 12-month period preceding such sale (i.e., such shareholder holds directly or indirectly, including jointly with others, at least 10% of any means of control in the company) the tax rate will be 25%. Israeli companies are subject to the corporate tax rate on capital gains derived from the sale of shares, unless such companies were not subject to the Adjustments Law (or certain regulations) at the time of publication of the aforementioned amendment to the Tax Ordinance, in which case the applicable tax rate is 25%. However, different tax rates may apply to dealers in securities and shareholders who acquired their shares prior to an initial public offering.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Taxation of Non-Israeli Residents

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Non-Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of shares of Israeli companies publicly traded on a recognized stock market outside of Israel, provided such shareholders did not acquire their shares prior to the issuers initial public offering and that the gains did not derive from a permanent establishment of such shareholders in Israel and that such shareholders are not subject to the Inflationary Adjustments Law. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such exemption if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) is the beneficiary or is entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In addition, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares by a shareholder who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) holding ordinary shares as a capital asset is also exempt from Israeli capital gains tax under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty unless either (i) the shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our voting power during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale or (ii) the capital gains arising from such sale are attributable to a permanent establishment of the shareholder located in Israel. If the above conditions are not met, the U.S. resident would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the gain would be treated as foreign source income for United States foreign tax credit purposes and such U.S. resident would be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the United States income tax imposed on such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations under the United States federal income tax laws applicable to foreign tax credits.

U.S. Tax Considerations Regarding Ordinary Shares

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The following is a general summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares by an investor that holds those shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The summary is based on the tax laws of the United States, and existing final, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations, Revenue Rulings and judicial decisions, as in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to prospective and retroactive changes, and to differing interpretations. The summary does not purport to address all federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular investors, and does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular investors, some of which (such as tax-exempt entities, banks and financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, investors liable for alternative minimum tax, investors that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our voting stock, investors that hold ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction, U.S. expatriates and investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) may be subject to special tax rules. ACCORDINGLY, PERSONS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF ORDINARY SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION, TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS.

For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. Holder is any beneficial owner of shares of our ordinary shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

(3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax without regard to its source, or

(4) a trust, if such trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or if (a) a court within the U.S. can exercise primary supervision over its administration and (b) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of shares of our ordinary shares, the U.S. tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of shares of our ordinary shares that is a partnership and partners in such partnership should consult their individual tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of shares of our ordinary shares.

Taxation of U.S. Holders

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Distributions on Ordinary Shares. Subject to the discussion in Passive Foreign Investment Companies below, distributions made by us with respect to ordinary shares generally will constitute dividends for federal income tax purposes and will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as a dividend to the extent of our undistributed current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes). Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital reducing the U.S. Holders tax basis in the ordinary shares, thus increasing the amount of any gain (or reducing the amount of any loss) which might be realized by such Holder upon the sale or exchange of such ordinary shares. Any such distributions in excess of the U.S. Holders tax basis in the ordinary shares will be treated as capital gain to the U.S. Holder and will be either long term or short term capital gain depending upon the U.S. Holders federal income tax holding period for the ordinary shares. Dividends paid by us generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction available to certain United States corporate shareholders under Code Sections 243 and 245. If you are a noncorporate U.S. Holder, dividends paid to you in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, will be taxable to you at a maximum rate of 15% provided that you hold ordinary shares for more than 60 days during the 120-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meet other holding period requirements.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

A dividend paid in New Israeli Shekel will be included in gross income in a U.S. dollar amount based on the Israeli NIS/U.S. dollar exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is included in the income of the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the payment, in fact, is converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder through the date that payment is converted into U.S. dollars (or otherwise disposed of) will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, any Israeli withholding tax imposed upon distributions which constitute dividends under United States income tax law will be eligible for credit against a U.S. Holders federal income tax liability. Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may claim a deduction for such amount, but only for a year in which a U.S. Holder elects to do so with respect to all foreign income taxes. The overall limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed with respect to our ordinary shares will generally constitute passive income.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Sale or Exchange of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the discussion in Passive Foreign Investment Companies below, a U.S. Holder of ordinary shares generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or exchange of the ordinary shares measured by the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holders tax basis in the ordinary shares. Gain or loss will be computed separately for each block of shares sold (shares acquired separately at different times and prices). The deductibility of capital losses is restricted and generally may only be used to reduce capital gains to the extent thereof. However, individual taxpayers generally may deduct annually $3,000 of capital losses in excess of their capital gains.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Passive Foreign Investment Company. A foreign corporation generally will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) if, after applying certain look-through rules, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held to produce passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties and gains from securities and commodities transactions. The look-through rules require a foreign corporation that owns at least 25%, by value, of the stock of another corporation to treat a proportionate amount of assets and income as held or received directly by the foreign corporation. We must make a separate determination each year as to whether we are a PFIC. As a result, our PFIC status may change. The determination of whether or not we are a PFIC depends on the composition of our income and assets, including goodwill, from time to time.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, our assets mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents producing passive income. We believe that for fiscal year 2008 we met the requirements set forth in Section 1298(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, providing an exception from the PFIC status for a change of business situation. We cannot assure you, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would agree with our conclusion if they were to consider our situation. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will not be treated as a PFIC for fiscal year 2008. Furthermore, the exception does not apply unless we dont expect to be, and we in fact are not, a PFIC for the following two years. Therefore, in the event we meet the definition of a PFIC for fiscal year 2009, and as we cannot use the change of business exception for two years in succession, we will be treated as a PFIC for fiscal year 2008 as well. Our status as a PFIC in fiscal year 2009 (and, as a result, in fiscal year 2008 as well) depends on the type of activity we conduct, the assets we hold and the income we generate during 2009.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

If we are classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders who own our ordinary shares during the taxable year in which we become a PFIC generally will be subject to increased U.S. tax liabilities and reporting requirements for that taxable year and all succeeding years, regardless of whether we continue to meet the income or asset test for PFIC status, although shareholder elections may apply in certain circumstances. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding our status as a PFIC and the consequences of investment in a PFIC.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold ordinary shares, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any excess distribution that you receive and any gain you realize from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the ordinary shares, unless you make a mark-to-market election as discussed below. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the ordinary shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

(1) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the ordinary shares,

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

(2) the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

(3) the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution cannot be offset by any net operating losses, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the ordinary shares cannot be treated as capital, even if you hold the ordinary shares as capital assets.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

If we are a PFIC, you may not avoid taxation under the rules described above by making a qualified electing fund election to include your share of our income on a current basis because we do not presently intend to prepare or provide information necessary to make such election.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of marketable stock in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election for stock of a PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed three paragraphs above. If you make a mark-to-market election for the ordinary shares, you will include in income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ordinary shares as of the close of your taxable year over your adjusted basis in such ordinary shares. You are allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the ordinary shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. However, deductions are allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the stock included in your income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in your income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares, are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the ordinary shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the ordinary shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such ordinary shares. Your basis in the ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. The tax rules that apply to distributions by corporations which are not passive foreign investment companies generally would apply to distributions by us.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock which is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or on Nasdaq, or an exchange or market that the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Our ordinary shares are currently quoted on the over-the-counter market in the Pink Sheets. As a result of our shares trading on the over-the-counter-market, the mark-to-market election may not be available to you if we were to become a PFIC.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Dividends paid by a PFIC (or by a company that was a PFIC in the year preceding the dividend) are not qualified dividend income for purposes of the preferential tax rate on dividends discussed above.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

If you hold ordinary shares in any year in which we are a PFIC, you would be required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding distributions received on the ordinary shares and any gain realized on the disposition of the ordinary shares.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Distributions on Ordinary Shares. Distributions made with respect to our ordinary shares to non-U.S. Holders who are not engaged in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States will be subject to United States withholding tax only if 25% or more of our gross income (from all sources for the three-year period ending with the close of the taxable year preceding the declaration of the distribution) was effectively connected with our conduct of a trade or business in the United States. We do not anticipate engaging in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, except through subsidiaries. However, if the 25% threshold for such period is exceeded, a portion of any distribution paid by us to a non-U.S. Holder could be subject to federal income tax withholding at the rate of 30%; the portion of the distribution that could be subject to withholding would correspond to the portion of our gross income for the period that is effectively connected to its conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Sale or Exchange of Ordinary Shares. A non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or exchange of ordinary shares unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States of the non-U.S. Holder, or (ii) the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and other conditions exist.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

United States Business. Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holders conduct of a trade or business in the United States generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as they would be for U.S. Holder. Effectively connected dividends and gains received by a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower tax treaty rate.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Left-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends in respect of our ordinary shares or the proceeds received on the sale, exchange or redemption of our ordinary shares paid within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States) to U.S. Holders other than certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, and backup withholding tax may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or to report interest and dividends required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as credit against the U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the appropriate returns are filed.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

A Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status to the payor, under penalties of perjury, on IRS Form W-8BEN.

Following the consummation of the HP Transaction in February 29, 2008, most of our assets are cash and short-term U.S. dollar-denominated deposits with a U.S. bank.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding timely disclosure. Based on that evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the companys board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely protection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

During 2008 management carried out an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In connection with such evaluation, our management assessed the risk and mapped all processes over major classes of transactions that are applicable to our business and situation following the consummation of the HP Transaction. Our management documented these processes and controls and tested and evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Based on this assessment, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of ELLOMAY CAPITAL LTD.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the Company) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of income (operations), changes in shareholders equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of a consolidated subsidiary, whose assets constitute 7% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2007 and whose revenues constitute 8% and 8% of total consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for this subsidiary, is based solely on the report of the other auditor.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditor provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditor, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2008 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2o to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

a. Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the Company) (formerly: NUR Macroprinters Ltd.), an Israeli Company, is a shell company whose current plan of operations is to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities and strategic alternatives, including through the acquisition of all or part of an existing business, pursuing business combinations or otherwise. Until February 29, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) 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.

Until February 29, 2008, the Company operated through wholly-owned subsidiaries for sales, support services and marketing of the Companys products in their country or region of domicile, some of which were sold to HP and some of which have been dissolved during 2008. Such entities include NUR Europe S.A. (NUR Europe) in Belgium (sold to HP), NUR America, Inc. (NUR America) in the U.S. (dissolved in 2008), NUR Asia Pacific Limited (NUR Asia Pacific) in Hong Kong, NUR Do Brazil Ltda. (NUR Brazil) in Brazil (sold to HP) and NUR Japan Ltd. (NUR Japan) in Japan (sold to HP).

b. On December 9, 2007, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) for the sale of its business to HP (the HP Transaction). The Agreement contemplated the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities relating to the business with the exception of specific assets and liabilities as defined in the Agreement. In connection with the Agreement, HP also agreed to acquire three of the Companys subsidiaries, NUR Europe S.A., a company organized pursuant to the laws of Belgium, NUR Japan Ltd., a company organized pursuant to the laws of Japan and NUR Do Brazil Ltda., a company organized pursuant to the laws of Brazil. In addition to the transfer of the assets, liabilities and the shares of the aforementioned subsidiaries, one of the conditions to the consummation of the HP Transaction was the transfer of approximately 80% of the Companys employees to HP and HPs subsidiaries. The HP Transaction was completed and all included assets, liabilities and employees were transferred from the Company and its subsidiaries to HP and several of its subsidiaries on February 29, 2008 (the Closing Date). As of the Closing Date, the carrying value of assets and liabilities sold to HP was as follows:

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

On February 29, 2008, the sale of our business to HP was finalized. The base purchase price pursuant to the agreement is $ 117,500. The purchase price was subject to upward or downward adjustment based on the net debt (bank debt less cash balances) of the Company and its subsidiaries that were not purchased by HP as of the Closing Date. The purchase price adjustment on such date was approximately $ 4,000, increasing the total consideration under the Asset Purchase Agreement from $ 117,500 to $ 121,500. Following the Closing Date, the parties reached a mutual resolution to assign NUR Europes facilities and related capital lease to a third party. Therefore, the Company was entitled to additional net proceeds (after deduction of HPs expenses in connection with such capital lease and other expenses that were to be borne by the Company pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement) in the amount of $ 1,100 as additional consideration for NUR Europes shares, increasing the aggregate consideration in connection with the HP Transaction to $ 122,600. Of the total consideration:

1.	$ 103,900 was transferred to the Company on the Closing Date.
2.	$ 1,600 was withheld by HP until final calculation of the net debt at closing. Based on the final
net debt calculation the Company was entitled only to an amount of $ 1,504, which was transferred
to the Company on July 30, 2008.
3.	$ 1,500 was withheld by HP until the resolution of NUR Europes obligations with respect to its
capital lease and Government grants. Of the $ 1,500 withheld, an amount of $ 1,000 was transferred
to the Company on December 2, 2008 as a result of the assignment of NUR Europes
facilities and related capital lease to a third party. The $ 500 withheld in connection with NUR
Europes obligations with respect to the government grants is still being held by HP.
4.	Of the additional proceeds in the amount of $ 1,100 related to NUR Europes facilities, a total
amount of $ 400 was transferred to the Company on December 18, 2008 and an additional amount of approximately
$ 700 was transferred to the Company on March 13, 2009.
5.	The remaining $ 14,500 was deposited into an escrow account to secure the indemnity obligations
of the Company and its remaining subsidiaries. The escrow funds, net of amounts distributed to HP
in satisfaction of indemnity obligations, are to be distributed to the Company in two installments:
$ 9,500 is to be distributed eighteen months following the Closing Date and $ 5,000 is
to be distributed twenty-four months following the Closing Date. Due to the lack of clarity as to
the outcome and scope of indemnification to be requested by HP, the escrow funds were not recorded
as a receivable and were excluded from the calculation of the capital gain.

| In 2008, the Company recorded a gain (before taxes) of $ 95,137 with respect to the HP Transaction. |
| --- |
| Assets and liabilities excluded from the Agreement, as amended, included, but were not limited to:
cash balances held by the Company and subsidiaries that were not purchased by HP, short and long
term bank credit and loans, all costs incurred in respect to the HP Transaction including severance
liabilities, rights and obligations in respect to employees not transferred to HP, rights and obligations
related to outstanding litigation, claims and disputes, intercompany balances, all tax benefits and
obligations with the exception of such benefits and obligations relating to continuing operations
from the Closing Date, assets and obligations in respect of certain government-supported research
and development projects and obligations due to or from shareholders. |

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

As part of the Agreement, the Company agreed to change its corporate name. The Companys name was changed to Ellomay Capital Ltd. in April 2008. In addition, the Company agreed not to solicit any former employees who were transferred to HP or to engage in any business engaged directly in the same business as conducted by the Company at closing, both for a period of three years following the Closing Date.

| In connection with the HP Transaction, the Companys Board of Directors approved the acceleration
of the vesting of all outstanding employee stock options following the Closing Date and the repurchase,
subject to the fulfillment of regulatory requirements, of the then outstanding employee stock options,
representing, in the aggregate, rights to purchase approximately 9.9 million ordinary shares of the
Company. The aggregate consideration for such employee stock options was approximately $ 3,800. Of
the total aggregate consideration, approximately $ 3,100 was paid in July 2008 and an additional
payment, up to the aggregate amount, will be calculated after all HP Transaction related issues and
other financial aspects of the Company are known and verified and will be paid following the release
of the funds deposited in escrow. The Company recorded an accrual in the amount of $ 414 with
respect to its future liability, which is included within other accounts payable and accrued expenses. |
| --- |
| Upon closing of the HP Transaction, the acceleration resulted in full recognition of the remaining
unrecognized compensation costs of $ 2,187. The repurchase was accounted for as a settlement
in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment and the amount paid
in excess of the fair value of the options repurchased was recognized as additional compensation
cost of $1,610 in the statements of operations. |
| In connection with the HP Transaction, the Companys Board of Directors also approved the payment
of transaction bonuses to certain employees in the aggregate amount of approximately $ 700 and
established that, subject to the aforementioned determination and verification of all transaction
related issues and other financial aspects of the Company, additional bonuses may be paid to certain
employees, based on criteria, amounts and percentages pre-determined by the Board. The amount of
$ 700 was paid during 2008 and was recorded as expense. In addition, the Company recorded a
liability for the additional transaction bonuses in the amount of $ 35. |

| As a result of the HP Transaction and the cessation of virtually all operations, a majority of the
Companys employees that have not transferred to HP, including the majority of the Companys
senior management, have been terminated by the Company. In connection with such terminations, the
Company recorded severance-related expenses in the approximate amount of $ 2,800. |
| --- |
| In March 2008, following the consummation of the HP Transaction, the Company fully repaid its short-term
debt to its lender banks (the Banks) in the amount of $9,800. In April 2008, it fully
repaid outstanding long-term debt to its banks in the amount of $12,100. In May 2008, a $ 5,000
subordinated note due to a related party was cancelled effective as of March 30, 2008. In connection
with the cancellation of the subordinated note, the Company recognized a capital contribution of
$ 5,000. Upon full repayment of the loans, the Company recognized the remaining balance of accrued
interest on restructured debt as financial income of approximately $ 7,335. |
| As the Company did not acquire a new
operating business during the year ended December 31, 2008, the results of operations
prior to the consummation of the sale of the business to HP are not reported as
discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance
with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. |

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, the Companys primary asset is cash deposited in short term deposits and therefore, the sole source of income is the interest that such deposits earn.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles, as follows:

a. 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 Companys 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.

b. Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

| Following the HP Transaction, the Companys management believes that the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the Company and its remaining subsidiaries operate is the U.S. dollar
(dollar). Thus, the dollar is the reporting and functional currency of the Company and
its remaining subsidiaries. |
| --- |
| Therefore, transactions and balances that are denominated in dollars are presented at their original
amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been remeasured to dollars in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation.
All foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the statements of operations as
financial income or expenses, as appropriate. |
| Prior to the HP Transaction, for certain subsidiaries the functional currency was determined to be
their local currency. For those subsidiaries, assets and liabilities were translated at year-end
exchange rates and statement of operations items were translated at average exchange rates prevailing
during the year. Such translation adjustments were recorded as a separate component of accumulated
other comprehensive loss in shareholders equity (deficiency). |

c. Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances, including profit from intercompany sales not yet realized outside the Group, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

d. Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

e. Short-term deposits:

Bank deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year are included in short-term deposits. Such short-term deposits are stated at cost which approximates market values.

f. Restricted cash:

Restricted cash was primarily invested in highly liquid deposits, which were used as security for certain of the Companys liabilities and obligations.

g. Reclassifications:

| | Certain amounts in prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current years presentation. |
| --- | --- |
| h. | Inventories: |

| Inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market value. |
| --- |
| The Company reviewed its inventory quantities based primarily on its estimated forecast of product
demand, production requirements and servicing commitments. Inventory write-offs were provided to
cover risks arising from slow-moving items, technological obsolescence, excess inventories, discontinued
products and for market prices lower than cost. |
| During 2006, 2007 and 2008, as a result of the demand for printers of older models, the Company began
utilizing related inventories that were written-off in prior years. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, inventory
previously written-off with a cost of $ 310, $ 803 and $ 908, respectively, was used as components
for products in the Companys regular line of production and was sold as finished goods. The
sales of these related manufactured products were reflected in the Companys revenues without
an associated additional cost to the cost of revenues in the period in which the inventory was utilized. |
| Cost was determined as follows: |
| Raw materials - using the average cost method. |
| Work-in-progress and finished products - raw materials as above with the addition of direct manufacturing
costs and indirect manufacturing costs allocated on an average basis. |

	%
Machinery and equipment	10 - 33
Motor vehicles	15
Office furniture and equipment	6 - 10
Buildings	3
Leasehold improvements	Over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life

j. Impairment of long-lived assets:

The Groups long-lived assets were reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held for use is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During 2006, 2007 and 2008, no impairment losses were identified.

k. Revenue recognition:

| Prior to the consummation of the HP Transaction, the Company generated revenues from the sale of its
printers, inks and consumable products and from services to its products. The Company generated revenues
from sale of its products directly to end-users and indirectly through independent distributors. |
| --- |
| Revenues from printer sales were recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements upon installation, provided that the collection of the
resulting receivable was probable, there was persuasive evidence of an arrangement, no significant
obligations in respect of installation remained and the price was fixed or determinable. The Company
did not grant a right of return. |
| Revenues from selling these products to independent distributors were deferred until the Companys
products were installed in their customers premises, provided that all other revenue recognition
criteria were met. |
| When a sale involved multiple elements, such as sales of printers that include a right to receive specified
upgrades or an extended warranty agreement, the entire fee from the arrangement was evaluated under
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.
In such arrangements, the Company accounted for the separate elements as different units of accounting,
provided that the delivered element had value to the customer on a standalone basis and there was
objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered element. In cases where there
was no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered element, the Company
accounted for the total arrangement as one unit of accounting. As such, the Company recognized revenue
for the arrangement only when all revenue recognition criteria were met for the undelivered element. |
| The Company considered all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond the standard payment terms
not to be fixed or determinable. If the fee was not fixed or determinable, revenue was recognized
as payments become due from the customer, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have
been met. |
| Revenues from ink and other consumable products were generally recognized upon shipment assuming all
other revenue recognition criteria were met. |
| Revenues from services were comprised of maintenance and support arrangements. Revenues from maintenance
and support arrangements were recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement. |
| In cases where the Company traded-in old printers as part of sales of new printers, the fair value
of the old printer was recorded as revenue, provided that such value could be determined. If such
value could not be determined the old printers were recorded at zero value. The amount of revenues
recognized for the transaction equaled the fair value of the old printer plus any monetary consideration
received. |
| Deferred revenues included amounts received from customers for which revenue has not yet been recognized. |

l. Warranty costs:

| The Group generally provided a warranty period of six to twelve months, at no extra charge. The Group
estimated the costs that may be incurred under its standard limited warranty and recorded a liability
in the amount of such costs at the time installation of the product was completed. Factors that affected
the Groups warranty liability included the number of installed units and historical warranty
cost. The Group periodically assessed the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusted
the amounts as necessary. |
| --- |
| Changes in the Groups liability during the year were as follows: |

	December 31, — 2007	2008
Balance at the beginning of the year	$ 1,505	$	1,593
Utilization of warranties	(1,945	)	(226	)
Changes in liability for warranty during the year	2,033		260
Assumed by HP (See Note 1b)			(1,627	)
Balance at the end of the year	$ 1,593	$

m. Research and development costs, net:

Research and development costs were charged to the statement of operations as incurred, net of grants received.

n. Government grants:

Royalty-bearing grants from the local authorities in Belgium and Israel for funding approved research and development projects were recognized at the time the Group was entitled to such grants, and were included as a reduction of the research and development costs. Related royalty obligations were recognized on an accrual basis, as the Group became liable. No royalty expenses were accrued or paid during 2006, 2007 and 2008, other than an amount of 390 paid according to a settlement with the Belgian authorities (see Note 12b).

o. Income taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be realized. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

| On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48
contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in
accordance with SFAS 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more
likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained
on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is
to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon
ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in its provision for income tax. |
| --- |
| As a result of the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, the Group recorded $ 2,617 to accumulated
deficit for uncertain tax positions which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. This
amount includes accrued interest expenses and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefit as
of that date. |

p. Concentrations of credit risk:

| Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally
of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits. |
| --- |
| The majority of the Groups cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits are invested in
U.S. dollar and Euro instruments with major banks in Israel and United States. Such deposits in the
United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. However,
management believes that such financial institutions are financially sound, and accordingly, low
credit risk exists with respect to these investments. |
| Prior to the HP Transaction, the trade receivables of the Group were derived mainly from sales to customers
located primarily in Europe, America and Asia. Management believed that credit risks were moderated
by the diversity of its end-customers and geographic sales areas. The Group performed ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers financial condition. The Group did not require collateral from
its customers. Management of the Company periodically performed an evaluation of its composition
of accounts receivable and expected credit trends and established an allowance for doubtful accounts
with respect to those amounts that were determined to be doubtful of collections and in accordance
with aging key and charge off receivables where they deemed uncollectible. The past-due status of
accounts receivable was determined primarily based upon contractual terms. |
| The Group has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk. |

Assumed by HP (See Note 1b)	(5,219	)
Balance as of December 31, 2008	$

q. Severance pay:

| The Companys liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israels Severance Pay
Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment,
as of the balance sheet date. The Company records as expenses the increase in the severance liability,
net of the earnings (losses) from the related investment fund. Employees are entitled to one months
salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. The Companys liability for all of
employees is fully provided by monthly deposits with severance pay funds and insurance policies and
by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Companys consolidated
balance sheet. |
| --- |
| The deposited funds include profits (losses) accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited
funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israels Severance
Pay Law or labor agreements. |
| Severance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 amounted to approximately $ 907,
$ 905 and $ 2,900 respectively. The severance expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008
are mainly attributed to the termination of certain of our employees and of a majority of our senior
management in connection with the HP Transaction. |

r. Employee benefit plan:

The Company had a 401(K) defined contribution plan covering all employees in the U.S. All eligible employees could have elected to contribute up to 15%, but generally not in excess of $ 15 per year, of their annual compensation through salary deferrals, subject to IRS limits. The Companys 401(K) contribution plan included a fixed matching contribution program of 50% of employee contributions to the plan up to a limit of 3% of their eligible compensation. During 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company matched contributions in the amount of $ 23, $19 and $ 7, respectively.

s. Fair value of financial instruments:

| The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, restricted cash, trade receivables
and other accounts receivable, short-term bank credit and loans, current maturities of long-term
loans, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value, due to the short-term
maturity of such instruments. |
| --- |
| The carrying amount of the Companys long-term loans (less accrued interest on restructured debt
as described in Note 9) approximates their fair value. Book values of long-term loans bearing
variable interest approximate fair values due to the variable interest rates on these loans. Book
values of long-term loans bearing fixed interest approximate fair values as it is not materially
different from the market rate for similar loans. |

t. Advertising expenses:

Advertising expenses were expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 amounted to $ 287, $ 442 and $ 50, respectively.

u. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

| Basic earnings (loss) per share is
computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each
year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares
considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings
Per Share. |
| --- |
| The total weighted average number of
options and warrants excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings (loss) per share
was 50,163,084, 54,749,478 and 7,393,004 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and
2008, respectively. |

v. Accounting for stock-based compensation:

| The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair
value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value
of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over
the requisite service periods in the Companys consolidated income statements. |
| --- |
| The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted based on the straight
line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary,
in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Estimated forfeitures are
based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures. |
| The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value
method for its stock-options awards and values restricted stock based on the market value of the
underlying shares at the date of grant. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions,
of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. |

F - 20

ELLOMAY CAPITAL LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

| Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements. The expected
term of options granted is based upon historical experience and represents the period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield
from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends
and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends. |
| --- |
| The fair value for options granted in 2006, 2007 and 2008 is estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: |

2006	2007	2008
Dividend yield	0%	0%	0%
Expected volatility	1.12	1.07	0.8
Risk-free interest	4.67%	4.41%	2.76%
Expected life (in years)	3.5	3.5	2

The Company applies SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees. SFAS No. 123 requires the use of option valuation models to measure the fair value of the options and warrants at the measurement date as defined in EITF No. 96-18.

w. Comprehensive loss:

The Company accounts for comprehensive loss in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This Statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive loss generally represents all changes in shareholders equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to shareholders. The Company determined that its only item of other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Collectively, the Staff Positions defer the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at least annually, and amend the scope of Statement 157. As described in Note 7, the Company adopted Statement 157 and the related FASB staff positions except for those items specifically deferred under FSP No. FAS 157-2. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 157, with respect to nonfinancial assets and liabilities under the scope of the FSP No. FAS 157-2, will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

a. During 1998-2003, the Company participated in a research and development consortium of industrial companies and academic institutions within the framework of the MAGNET program of the Office of Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor (OCS). No royalties were payable to the OCS with respect to this funding.

During 2005-2007, the Company participated in an ink technology project with the Technion - The Israel Institute of Technology (the Technion), which received the approval of the Mini-MAGNET (or Magneton) committee of the OCS. No royalties were payable to the OCS with respect to this funding; however, the terms of the agreement with the Technion required the Company to pay royalties to the Technion on the proceeds from sales of products resulting from this project when such sales commence. Sales of products had not commenced and therefore no royalties were due. Grants relating to the Magneton project in the amount of $ 379 were recorded during 2007. The agreement with the Techinion was assumed by HP in connection with the HP Transaction.

b. The Company entered into several project plans with the OCS in prior years.

Following the settlement as described in (d) below, the full balance of commitments for amounts received in the past from the OCS was converted into and recorded as a settlement accrual. As of December 31, 2007, the liability of $ 79 was fully offset with the grant received from the Magneton project in accordance with the terms of the settlement. The liability to the OCS was fully paid during 2008.

c. Under the terms of grants awarded in prior years by the Fund for the Encouragement of Marketing Activities of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor (the Marketing Fund) to the Company, the Company was obligated to pay royalties to the Marketing Fund at the rate of 3% - 4% of the increase in export sales of products for which the Company received grants for in support of its marketing activities, up to an amount equal to 100% - 150% of the grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar.

| Following the settlement described in (d) below, all the contingent commitments for amounts received
in the past from the Marketing Fund were converted into and recorded as a settlement accrual. |
| --- |
| As of December 31, 2007, the liability of $ 221 was fully offset with the grant received from the Magneton
project in accordance with the terms of the settlement. The liability to the Marketing Fund was fully
paid during 2008. |

| d. | In the first calendar quarter of 2006, the District Court in Jerusalem approved the settlement between
the Company and the OCS and the Marketing Fund. The agreement settled the dispute between the Company,
the OCS and the Marketing Fund regarding the Companys outstanding obligation to pay royalties
and provided for the repayment of the outstanding debt in 36 equal monthly installments commencing
January 2006. The Company also agreed to accelerate the payment of the outstanding balance by advancing
payments equal to 5% of operating income. It was further agreed that all future grants due to the
Company from the OCS or the Marketing Fund would be applied to the settlement balance until the liability
was paid in full. |
| --- | --- |
| e. | According to the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development Law, 1984, the Companys
technologies are subject to transfer of technology and manufacturing rights restrictions. The discretionary
approval of the OCS committee is required for any transfer of technology developed with OCS funding
(including Magnet and Magneton programs). OCS approval is not required for the export of any products
resulting from the research or development, or for licensing of the technology in the ordinary course
of business. |

Following the HP Transaction (see Note 1b), all of the Companys intellectual property that was used for its business was sold to HP, including intellectual property developed with the assistance of the OCS. The OCS approved the transfer of the technology developed with OCS funding prior to the closing of the HP Transaction, subject to an exclusive and irrevocable manufacturing license provided by HP to its Israeli subsidiary. HP has approached the OCS and requested to transfer the technology and manufacturing of products developed with the assistance of the OCS outside of Israel. The Company may be required to reimburse HP for payments made to the OCS in connection with such transfer of manufacturing. It is too early to determine what amounts will be paid by HP to the OCS or will be required to be paid by the Company to HP. In the event that any payments are required, amounts due are to be deducted from the escrow account (see Note 1b).

NOTE 7:- FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements and, effective October 10, 2008, adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, except as it applies to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities subject to FSP 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

| Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted
prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| --- |
| Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly
or indirectly observable in the marketplace. |
| Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by
little or no market activity. |

| The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. |
| --- |
| Cash equivalents and short-term deposits are classified with level 2. |

NOTE 8:- SHORT-TERM BANK CREDIT AND LOANS (Cont.)

a. Short-term bank credit:

| In 2005 the Banks provided the Company with a credit facility that could have been utilized in U.S.
dollars, NIS, GBP or Euro. The credit facility was renewable, at the request of the Company, on an
annual basis through December 2011. The credit facility bore interest at a rate of LIBOR + a range
between 0.25% - 0.75% or Prime + 2% for borrowings denominated in NIS and was payable on a quarterly
basis. |
| --- |
| As of December 31, 2007, $ 8,962 was utilized in the form of a short-term loan, $ 944
was utilized in guarantees, and $ 1,040 was utilized in the form of long-term loans. The total utilization
of a $ 10,002 credit line exceeded the approved line of $ 9,850 (excluding guarantees) by $
152 due to the increase in the Euro exchange rate in respect to the Euro-denominated long-term loan.
The Banks did not request an immediate reduction in the short-term bank credit or the long-term loan
balance. The credit facility was subject to immediate repayment upon the occurrence of certain events
as defined in the agreement with the Banks. |
| During January and February 2008, an additional amount of approximately $ 800 was utilized by the Company
in the form of a short-term loan. In March 2008, in connection with the HP Transaction, the credit
facility was cancelled and all open balances were paid-in-full (see Note 1b). |

b. The note from related parties of $ 5,000 bore no interest and was scheduled to expire on December 8, 2008. Prior to that date, the note was repayable only in the event of either bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding under any bankruptcy, whether voluntary or involuntary, which proceedings were not lifted or stayed within 90 days. The note was assigned to Fortissimo by the Banks as part of the Debt Restructuring Agreement (see Note 9).

In May 2008, in connection with the sale of the Companys securities by the Fortissimo entities, the note was cancelled and recognized as a capital contribution (see Note 1b).

NOTE 9:- LONG-TERM LOANS

On September 12, 2005, the Company entered into a debt restructuring agreement (the Debt Restructuring Agreement) with the Banks. The Debt Restructuring Agreement, which was consummated on December 8, 2005, called for the conversion and refinancing of the then outstanding bank debt in the amount of $ 41,018 to the Banks. Out of the amount of $ 41,018, an amount equal to $ 14,513 was converted into warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 Ordinary shares, $ 5,000 was converted into subordinated notes, which were assigned by the Banks to Fortissimo (Note from related parties) and the remaining $ 21,505 was refinanced under new short and long term loan agreements. Following the HP Transaction, the Company used its right for early termination of the long-term loans, and in April 2008 fully repaid the long-term loans.

grace period on the quarterly payments on account of principal. The revolving loan of $ 1,040
was renewable on an annual basis as long as the Company continued to meet the covenants mentioned
in Note 9.e. The long-term loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR+2.5% and LIBOR +0.75% per annum,
payable on a quarterly basis. The long-term loans were subject to immediate repayment upon the occurrence
of certain events as defined in the agreement with the Banks. |
| --- | --- |
| c. | The restructuring of the outstanding bank debt was accounted for in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS 15 Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings. According
to the guidance of SFAS No. 15, as a result of variable interest rate on the restructured debt, no
gain was recognized on the restructuring date and the carrying amount of the debt remained unchanged.
Future interest on the restructured debt was recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the
debt instead of interest expenses. Interest payments in the amounts of $ 500 and $ 1,500 for
2008 and 2007, respectively, were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt (accrued
interest) instead of interest expenses in the statement of operations in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 15. |

Upon full repayment of the loans, the Company recognized the remaining balance of accrued interest on restructured debt as financial income of approximately $ 7,335 (see Note 1b).

b. Royalty commitments:

| During the period 1998-2003, the Companys European subsidiary received research and development
grants totaling 2,435 ($ 3,583 at December 31, 2007) from the local authorities
in Belgium. Under the terms of the grants, the Companys European subsidiary had an obligation
to pay royalties at the higher of a certain minimum annual amount or at a rate of 4% of the sales
derived from the applicable products developed within the framework of such research and development
projects, up to an amount equal to the research and development grants received in connection with
such products, linked to the Euro. The commencement of the royalty payments to the local authorities
in Belgium was contingent upon the Companys European subsidiary generating sales from products
developed under these grants. The grants were not repayable in the event that the Companys
European subsidiary decides to cease the research and development activities, or the exploitation
of the products developed under these grants and all know-how and results of the research and development
are transferred to the local authorities. In the event that the Companys European subsidiary
decided to cease exploitation of the products developed under these grants, a notification thereof
should have been given to the local authorities in Belgium. |
| --- |
| The Companys European subsidiary ceased the research and development activities and the exploitation
of certain products for which grants were received. The Companys European subsidiary did not
submit notification of this cessation to the local authorities and, instead, continued to pay royalties
with a total of 659 ($ 970 at December 31, 2007) remitted through 2005. As of December
31, 2007, the aggregate amount of grants received from the Belgian authorities, which had not yet
been repaid amounted to $ 2,613 ( 1,776 as of December 31, 2007). |
| In respect to 2006 and 2007, the European subsidiary received notice from the Belgian authorities requesting
the annual minimum royalty payments of $ 285 and $ 368, respectively. |
| The European subsidiary did not pay the amounts requested as it believes that the royalty payment for
2006 and 2007 should have been only $ 184 and $ 250, respectively and that it has overpaid
its royalty obligations for prior years. During discussions held with the Belgian authorities in
February 2008, the authorities confirmed the Companys position with respect to the amounts
owed for 2006 and 2007. It was also agreed that the Companys European subsidiary will submit
a proposal to the authorities with respect to the overall open balance as described above. |
| During November 2008 the Companys European subsidiary reached a settlement with the Belgian authorities
by which the authorities waived the repayment of a portion of the grants and, in return, the Company
paid back on December 2, 2008 a total of 390 ($ 494) as full and final settlement. |

c. Charges and guarantees:

| As security for the Companys liabilities to the Banks, the Banks placed fixed charges on
the Companys share capital, as well as a floating lien on all of the Companys assets.
A second ranking floating lien was also placed on the Companys assets in connection
with the Note from related parties. |

| Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, the Company used its right for early termination,
fully repaid its loans and was released from all charges and guarantees. |

d. Litigation:

| 1. | During 2008, a former employee of a subsidiary filed a lawsuit against the Company in the amount of
$ 322.5 alleging the Company did not 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 are negotiating 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. |
| --- | --- |
| 2. | In January 2008, a former distributor of a subsidiary filed a lawsuit against the subsidiary claiming
his distribution agreement was terminated in violation of its terms and seeking damages in the amount of
$AUD 5,562 thousand. The subsidiary filed a statement of defense denying the claims and filed a counterclaim
against the former distributor for non-payment and other damages in the amount of $ 882. The parties
reached a settlement agreement by which the subsidiary paid the former distributor an amount of $
175 in October 2008. |
| 3. | During 2003, a former supplier filed a lawsuit against a subsidiary, in the amount of 943
thousand ($ 1,462), in connection with a disputed supply agreement. In February 2006, the court
determined that the subsidiary is to pay the supplier an aggregate amount of 1,246
thousand ($ 1,931), including penalties and accrued interest. The subsidiary filed an appeal,
which was rejected by the court of appeals. During 2007, the Company reached an agreement with the
supplier to pay the amount due plus interest on the principal amount over a period of 40 months.
Following the consummation of the HP Transaction a second settlement agreement was reached by which
the full amount was paid in a lump sum during August 2008. |
| 4. | During 2001, a client filed a lawsuit against a subsidiary in the amount of $ 450 alleging bad quality
of products and damages. The subsidiary filed a counter claim of $ 216 in respect of unpaid
invoices. In October 2007, the court ruled that the client is not entitled for any damages and the
subsidiary should credit the client for the unpaid balance. The client was ordered to return the
product to the Companys subsidiary. The ruling was deemed final in April 2008 when the official
time for appeal passed. |
| 5. | 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. |

damages caused to it by the Company in the amount of $ 210. Based on the opinion of its legal
counsel, management believes that the counter-claim that was 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. |

a provision of $ 145 was recorded with respect to this claim. |
| 9. | In May 2007, a former managing director of a subsidiary filed a lawsuit against the Company and two
of its subsidiaries claiming his resignation was for just cause due to demotion and therefore should

made by the former employee. The ruling in favor of the Company was deemed final in March 2009 when
the official time for appeal passed. |
| 10. | 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 ($ 789). 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. Based on managements estimation and the opinion of its legal counsel, no provision
was recorded with respect to this claim. |
| 11. | In October 2005, the former chairman and controlling shareholder filed a complaint against the Company
in the Supreme Court, New York County seeking to recover the right to vote his Ordinary shares. The
right to vote such Ordinary shares had been transferred to the Company pursuant to a Voting Agreement
between the Former Director and the Company. The complaint filed by the Former Director seeks to

| e. | Stock Option Plans: |

In December 1998, the Companys shareholders approved the non-employee director stock option plan (the 1998 plan) according to which 250,000 options are available for grant with an exercise price of the average of the closing bid and sale price at the issuance date. Each option granted is vested immediately and expires after 10 years. Generally, the Company grants options under the plan with an exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

| In October 2005, the Companys shareholders approved to increase the number of options available
for grant under the 1998 plan by 500,000. |
| --- |
| In August 2000, the Companys board of directors adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the 2000
Plan). According to the 2000 Plan, 2,000,000 options may be granted to officers, directors,
employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Options usually vest over a three
or four-year period. The exercise price of the options under the 2000 Plan is determined to be not
less than 80% of the fair market value of the Companys Ordinary shares at the time of grant,
and they usually expire after 10 years from the date of grant. During June 2008 the Companys
board of directors extended the 2000 Plan by an additional 10 years and the current expiration date
of the 2000 Plan is August 31, 2018. Generally, the Company granted options under the plan with an
exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. |
| In November 2003, the Companys shareholders approved the increase of the number of Ordinary shares
authorized for issuance under the 2000 Plan by the number of Ordinary shares available for grant
under the Companys 1995 and 1997 option plans, thereby terminating such plans (other than with
respect to outstanding options under such plans) (representing an increase of 497,590 Ordinary shares). |
| In October 2004 and October 2005, the Companys shareholders approved the increase of the number
of options available for grant under the 2000 Plan by 500,000 and 14,500,000, respectively. |
| In October 2005, the Companys shareholders also approved the increase of the available number
of Ordinary shares authorized for issuance under the 2000 Plan by the number of Ordinary shares underlying
options cancelled (except in the case of surrender for the exercise into shares) or which cease to
be exercisable under the Companys previously terminated option plans, the 1995 and 1997 option
plans. |

In October 2008, warrants to purchase 825,923 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.34 per share, held equally by Kanir and Shlomo Nehama, were exercised. These exercises resulted in the receipt by us of aggregate consideration in the amount of $ 510.

h. Dividends:

In the event that cash dividends are declared in the future, such dividends will be paid in NIS. A dividend paid to shareholders outside Israel will be converted into dollars, on the basis of the exchange rate prevailing at the date of payment. The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

NOTE 15:- TAXES ON INCOME

a. Israeli taxation:

Corporate tax structure:

Taxable income of Israeli companies is subject to tax at the rate of 31% in 2006, 29% in 2007, 27% in 2008, 26% in 2009, 25% in 2010 and thereafter.

Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985:

Results for tax purposes are measured in terms of earnings in NIS after certain adjustments for increases in Israels Consumer Price Index (CPI). As explained in Note 2b, the financial statements are measured in U.S. dollars. The difference between the annual change in Israels CPI and in the NIS/dollar exchange rate causes a difference between taxable income and the income before taxes shown in the financial statements. In accordance with paragraph 9(f) of SFAS No. 109, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes in respect of the difference between the functional currency and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Subsequent to balance sheet date, in February 2008, the inflation adjustment law was cancelled.

NOTE 15:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969:

Before the transaction with HP, the Company was an industrial Company, as defined by this law and, as such, was entitled to certain tax benefits, including accelerated rates of depreciation, in accordance with regulations published under the inflationary adjustments law. The Company was also entitled to claim public issuance expenses and patent amortization costs from its taxable income in three and eight equal annual installments, respectively.

b. Income taxes on non-Israeli subsidiaries:

| Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective country of residence. |
| --- |
| Israeli income taxes and foreign withholding taxes were not provided for undistributed earnings of
the Companys foreign subsidiaries. The Companys Board of Directors has determined that
the Company will not distribute any amounts of its undistributed earnings as dividend. The Company
intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, no deferred
income taxes have been provided. If these earnings were distributed to Israel in the form of dividends
or otherwise, the Company would be subject to additional Israeli income taxes (subject to an adjustment
for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes. The determination of the deferred tax liability
is not practicable. |

c. Uncertain tax positions:

| As of December 31, 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $ 4,584 which, if recognized,
would affect the effective tax rates in future periods. Included in that amount are cumulative accrued
interest and penalties in respect to uncertain tax positions of $ 966 at December 31, 2008,
of which $ 318 for interest and penalties expenses were recorded during 2008. |
| --- |
| A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: |

	2007	2008
Beginning balance	$ 2,617	$ 3,618
Additions for prior year tax positions	837	318
Additions for current year tax position	164	648
Ending balance	$ 3,618	$ 4,584

| The amount of income taxes paid by the Group is subject to ongoing audit by federal, state and foreign
tax authorities, which often results in proposed assessments. Management performs a comprehensive
review of its global tax positions on an annual basis and accrues amounts for contingent tax liabilities.
Based on these reviews, the result of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities
and the closure of tax years subject to tax audit, reserves are adjusted as necessary. However, future
results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities in the period
the assessments are determined or resolved. Additionally, the jurisdictions in which earnings and/or
deductions are realized may differ from current expectations used as a basis for the above estimates.
The Company does not expect that any tax audit would be completed within the next twelve months;
therefore, the Company does not anticipate any significant impact on its unrecognized tax benefit
balance in 2009. |
| --- |
| The Company has tax assessments that are considered to be final up to 2002. |

f. Deferred income taxes:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Groups deferred tax assets are as follows:

	December 31, — 2007	2008
Deferred tax asset:
Net operating losses and deductions carryforward	$ 30,068	$	24,853
Stock-based compensation	649		587
Others	1,247		158
Deferred tax assets before valuation allowance	31,964		25,598
Valuation allowance (1)	(31,725	)	(25,598	)
Net deferred tax assets (2)	$ 239	$

(1) The Group has provided valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax losses carryforward and other temporary differences. Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding all loss carryforwards will not be utilized in the foreseeable future. The net change in the valuation allowance in the year ended 31 December, 2008 was approximately $ 6,127, which primarily relates to utilization of net operating losses in connection with the HP Transaction. Carryforward losses of subsidiaries sold to HP were assumed by them.

(2) As of December 31, 2007 deferred taxes are recorded in current other accounts receivable and other assets.

g. Carryforward tax losses and deductions:

| As of December 31, 2008, Ellomay Capital Ltd. had available carryforward tax losses and deductions
aggregating to approximately $ 35,000, which have no expiration date. |
| --- |
| NUR Asia Pacific had available carryforward losses as of December 31, 2008 aggregating to approximately
$ 2,000, which have no expiration date. |
| NUR Media Solutions had available carryforward losses as of December 31, 2008 aggregating to approximately
$ 6,000, which have no expiration date. |
| Additional carryforward losses of NUR America and NUR Salsa, which are located in the U.S, amount to
approximately $ 33,000. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial
annual limitation due to the change in ownership provision of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 and similar state provisions. As NUR America and NUR Salsa were dissolved during 2008,
upon submitting the final tax returns of these companies, the remaining unutilized carryforward losses
will expire. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of NUR Asia Pacific Limited

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NUR Asia Pacific Limited (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NUR Asia Pacific Limited as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
