As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, updated certifications of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer are being filed as exhibits to the Form 20-F/A.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors
Dorad Energy Ltd.

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Dorad Energy Ltd., which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related statements of profit or loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dorad Energy Ltd. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

In this financial statement
 
·
Related party as defined in international accounting standard (2009) 24 regarding related parties.
·
Interested parties as defined in paragraph 1 of the definition of “interested parties” in a cooperation section 1 of the securities law 1968.

C.
Licenses and legal environment

1.
The construction of the power plant was officially designated a “National Infrastructure” Project, as defined in paragraph 1 of the Planning and Building Law-1965 by the Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and Minister of the Interior. In July 2009, the Licensing Authority of the National Planning and Construction Board for National Infrastructures approved the building permit for the establishment of a power station. (Building License No. 2-01-2008).

On April 13, 2014 the Public Utilities Authority - Electricity ("PUA") passed a resolution of which a permanent production license and a supply license will be granted to the Company, subject to the approval of the Minister of National Infrastructure, Energy and Water ("Minister of Energy"). Accordingly, on May 12, 2014 the Company was issued production licenses for 20 years with an option for additional period of extension and a supply license for one year and on May 19, 2014 the Company began commercial operation of the station.

On August 12, 2014 the Company filed a request to extend the supply license for an additional 19 years . On July 13, 2015, after the Company filed a petition with the High Court of Justice against the Minister of National Infrastructures and the Public Electricity Services Authority for issuance of a conditional order that will require extending the license for the said period, the license was received, which is effective up to May 11, 2034.
 
2.
On July 9, 2014 and on June 1 , 2015, the company submitted to the High Court two petitions against the Public Utilities Authority - Electricity (“PUA”) and the Israeli Electric Corporation Ltd. ("IEC") in view of the PUA’s intention to make a decision which includes, inter alia, to require the private electricity producers to pay IEC a general tariff which referred to by the PUA as “system costs”. The Company’s claims which were raised in the petitions were, inter alia, that the decision is contrary to the explicit instructions of the Electricity Sector Law, 1996, with respect to the manner of determining tariffs by the PUA, also, it has the potential to change the rules of the game established by the PUA and in addition severely undermines the principle of reliance of the Company, the financing entities and other third parties who relied on the information and activities of the PUA.

In addition, the company claimed that the PUA did not provide the Company data, information and calculations that were in its possession when determining the rate of system cost, without which the Company is not able to fully and completely examine the proposed decision and the tariffs proposed therein, and it is not able to raise all of its contentions in connection therewith.
 
On December 7, 2014 and on June 22, 2015 the PUA filed a response to the petition in which it contended that the petition should be denied for various reasons as detailed in PUA’s response.

On June 25, 2015, the Supreme Court decided that there is no basis for instructing the PUA not to make the decision.

Pursuant to the decision of the Supreme Court, on July 5, 2015, the Company notified that it remains steadfast with respect to its petition and instructed to join the petitions regarding the matter of the system costs. On July 9, 2015, the Court rejected the Additional Petition since the proceeding was premature and the PUA had not yet decided with respect to the contentions regarding the hearing. On October 13, 2015, an agreed‑to request was filed on the part of the Company for cancellation of the petition and on October 15, 2015, the Court’s decision was rendered whereby the petition was cancelled.

In the meantime, the PUA published a summary decision regarding the “Determination of Tariffs for Management Services of the Electricity System (System cost Tariffs)”. As part of the decision, detail was provided of, among other things, management services for the system and it was provided that an accounting will be made with reference to the past commencing from June 1, 2013, however from the standpoint of the Company, only commencing from the commercial operation date at the rate of 90% of the annual system tariff.

As at December 31, 2015 the accounting had been completed for the period until June 2015 at the amount of NIS 73 million paid by the company to the IEC.

In 2015, the Company updated the provisions in its financial statements that as at December 31, 2014 amounted to NIS 123 million and adjusted them to, inter alia, the amounts that were paid according to the aforesaid. The aforesaid adjustment was included in the item of operating cost of the power plant.

3.
On January 21, 2015 PUA published a summary decision regarding “Electricity Rates for Customers of IEC in 2015” which includes a reduction of the rates for the Company’s customers. Pursuant to the decision the rates of the manufacturing component which serves as the basis for charging the Company’s customers and to which the gas price is linked, were reduced by about 9% as from February 1, 2015.

Later on, on September 7, 2015, PUA published another summary decision, which in accordance the rates for the production component was further reduced by about 6.8%, commencing from September 13, 2015. It should be noted that the linkage mechanism of the gas price including a final floor price which started to occur in March 2016.

Note 2 -  Basis of Preparation

A.              Declaration of compliance with international financial reporting standards.

The financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
 
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 28, 2018.
 
B.              Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in NIS, which is the Company’s functional currency, and have been rounded to the nearest thousand. The NIS is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Company operates.
 
C.              Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities:
·
Derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss;
·
Deferred tax liabilities
·
Provisions

For further information regarding the basis of measurement of the above assets and liabilities, see Note 3, regarding Significant Accounting Policies.
 
D.
Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The preparation of accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make assumptions regarding circumstances and events that involve considerable uncertainty. Management of the Company prepares the estimates on the basis of past experience, various facts, external circumstances, and reasonable assumptions according to the pertinent circumstances of each estimate.
 
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

D.              Use of estimates and judgments (cont’d)

Information about assumptions made by the Company with respect to the future and other reasons for uncertainty with respect to estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year.

Useful lives of fixed assets and residual value
On May 19, 2014 the construction of the power plant was completed and is available for use as of this date and therefore as of this date, the depreciation of the power plant began. Accordingly, the Company examined the useful life of each significant item of fixed assets as described in Note 3C below considering the expected residual value at the end of the useful life. The estimated residual value, depreciation method and useful life, will be evaluated by the Company, as of the date of depreciation and an update will be made if necessary. Regarding the change in the useful life of the maintenance component in the fixed assets see note 11( 15 ).
 
Impairment of assets
The Company examines on each cutoff date whether there have been any events or changes in circumstances that indicate impairment of fixed assets. It is examined whether the carrying amount of the fixed assets is recoverable out of the discounted cash flows expected from that asset or the fair value of the asset less selling costs (“net selling price”) of that asset, and if necessary an impairment provision is recorded up to the amount that is recoverable.

Assessment of the probability of contingent liabilities
The Company creates provisions or reverses provisions in respect of contingent liabilities on the basis of, inter alia, whether it is more likely than not that an outflow of economic resources will be required in respect of the aforesaid liabilities.

E.              Operating cycle period

The Company’s normal operating cycle is one year. As a result, current assets and current liabilities include items whose exercise date will take place in the Company’s normal operating cycle.
 
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these financial statements.

Note 3 -  Significant Accounting Policies

A.              Foreign currency transactions
 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency of the Company entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

B.              Financial instruments

1.
Non-derivative financial assets

Initial recognition of financial assets
The Company initially recognizes loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are created. All other financial assets acquired in a regular way purchase, including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, meaning on the date the Company undertook to purchase or sell the asset.
 
Non-derivative financial assets include accounts receivables, other accounts receivable and restricted deposits.

Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the Company to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

Regular way sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, meaning on the date the Company undertook to sell the asset.

See (2) hereunder regarding the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables include cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits ,   trade receivables and other receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

2.
Non-derivative financial liabilities

Initial recognition of financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities include loans and borrowings from banks and related parties, trade and other payables.
 
The Company initially recognizes debt securities issued on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
 
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus all of the costs that can be attributed to the transaction. After the initial recognition, the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost according to the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation of the Company, as specified in the agreement, expires or when it is discharged or cancelled.

Offset of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company currently has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.
Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments for the purpose of economic hedging (not accounting hedging) against foreign currency risks. Changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognized in profit or loss under financing income or expenses.
          
4.
CPI-linked assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value

The value of CPI-linked financial assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value, is remeasured every period in accordance with the actual increase/decrease in the CPI.

5.

Note 3 -  Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

C.
Fixed assets

1.
Recognition and measurement

Fixed asset items are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
 
The cost of self-constructed assets includes costs directly attributable to the assets, direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, estimates of dismantling and restoration costs of the power plant, and capitalized borrowing costs. During the running period, the Company capitalized costs and revenues incurred as a result of competence tests attributed to the power plant.

Spare parts, auxiliary equipment and backup equipment are classified as fixed assets once they meet the definition of fixed assets in accordance with IAS-16, otherwise they are classified as Inventory.

When major parts of a fixed asset item (including costs of major periodic inspections) have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of fixed assets. Gains and losses on disposal of a fixed asset item are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized net within “other income” or “other expenses”, as relevant, in profit or loss.

Changes in commitments to dismantle and restore the power plant except for changes caused by the passage of time, are added to or deducted from the cost of asset during the period in which they occur. The amount deducted from the cost of asset will not exceed its book value. The balance, if any, is recognized immediately in the profit or loss statement.

2.
Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of a fixed asset item and other subsequent expenses is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the company and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of day-to-day servicing are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

3.
Depreciation

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. Recoverable amount is the cost of the asset, or other amount replacement cost, less its residual value.

Depreciation of fixed assets begins when it is available for use. This means that it should be in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. As stated in Note 1B (1), the Company began to depreciate fixed assets from the day of the beginning of commercial operations, in accordance with the depreciation rates listed below. Depreciation is recognized in the profit and loss statement on a straight-line basis (unless otherwise stated) over the estimated useful life of each significant part of the fixed asset, since this method reflects the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits best embodied in the asset.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted when necessary.

D.              Intangible assets

1.
Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets that do not have a physical substance. The Company’s intangible assets consist of the costs of software systems that were adapted to the Company’s needs. Among others, these include the billing system, the customer consumption forecast system, operating system and the ERP system. The intangible assets that were acquired by the Company have a finite useful life and are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

2.
Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

3.
Amortization

Amortization is the systematic allocation of the amount of an intangible asset over its useful life. Recoverable amount is the cost of the asset, or other amount replacement cost, less its residual value. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets from the date that they are available for use, since these methods reflect the anticipated consumption program of future economic benefits embodied in the asset in the best form.
 
The estimated useful life for the current software systems is five years.

Estimates regarding the amortization method and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted when necessary.

Note 3 -  Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

E.
Impairment
 
1)
Non derivative financial assets
 
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is tested for impairment when objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the assets, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of the asset that can be estimated reliably.
 
Accounting for impairment losses of financial assets measured at amortized cost
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in a provision for loss against the balance of the financial asset measured at amortized cost. Interest income on the impaired assets is recognized using the interest rate that was used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
 
2)
Non-financial assets

Timing of impairment testing
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

Determining cash-generating units
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).

Measurement of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of an assets or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value that reflects current market assessments of the value of money and the risks specific to the assets, for which the estimated future cash flows from the asset were not adjusted.

Recognition of impairment loss
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

Reversal of impairment loss
In respect of other assets, for which impairment losses were recognized in prior periods, an assessment is performed at each reporting date for any indications that these losses have decreased or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
 
F.             Capitalization of borrowing costs

Specific and non-specific borrowing costs were capitalized to qualifying assets throughout the period required for completion and construction until they are ready for their intended use. Non-specific borrowing costs are capitalized in the same manner to the same investment in qualifying assets, or portion thereof, which was not financed with specific credit by means of a rate which is the weighted-average cost of the credit sources which were not specifically capitalized. Foreign currency differences from credit in foreign currency are capitalized if they are considered an adjustment of interest costs. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

Note 3 -  Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

G.
Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The carrying amount of the provision is adjusted each period to reflect the time that has passed and is recognized as a financing expense.

Provision for dismantling and restoration – The Company recognized a provision for removal and restoration costs regarding its commitment under long-term lease on which the power plant is located. Changes to this provision arising from changes of the interest rate are added to or deducted against the fixed asset.

H.              Indemnification   Asset

The Company recognized an indemnification asset if it is certain that the indemnification does not exceed the amount of the provision.

I.
Revenues

The Company recognizes a revenue when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be measured reliably.

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the amounts received and/or the amounts the Company is entitled to receive in respect of revenues from sale of electricity net of discounts and credits.

The company’s revenues mainly include revenues from selling electricity to end customers and to the IEC and from providing availability to the system manager.

J.
Taxes on Income

Income tax expense is comprised of deferred taxes.
 
Deferred taxes are recognized with respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that will result from the way the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to restore or remove the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates expected to apply to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognized for tax loss carry forwards, tax benefits and deductible temporary differences, when it is probable that future taxable income against which can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and if it is not expected that the related tax benefit will be exercised, they are reduced.
 
The Company offsets assets and deferred tax liability if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the assets and current tax liabilities, and they relate to the same taxable income levied by the same tax authority.

K.              Defined contribution plans
 
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.
 
L.              Leased assets

Leases, where the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased assets are measured and a liability is recognized at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Other leases are classified as operating leases, and the leased assets are not recognized on the Company’s statement of financial position.

Lease fees paid in respect of land leases classified as operating leases are presented on the statement of financial position as prepaid expenses and recognized in profit or loss over the lease period. The lease period takes into consideration an option to extend the lease period if at the beginning of the lease it was probable that the option will be exercised.

M.
Financing income and expenses

Financing income and expenses include changes in the fair value of financial assets presented at fair value through the profit and loss and derivative hedging instruments which are recognized in profit and loss. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method. Financing expenses include interest expenses on bank loans, bank commissions and change in time value regarding provisions.

In the statements of cash flows, interest received is presented as part of cash flows from investing activities. Interest paid is presented as part of cash flows from financing activities.
 
Foreign currency gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities are reported on a net basis as either financing income or financing expenses depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

N.              Transactions with controlling shareholder

Assets and liabilities included in a transaction with a controlling shareholder are measured at fair value on the date of the transaction. As the transaction is on the equity level, the Company includes the difference between the fair value and the consideration from the transaction in its equity.

IFRS 9 (2014) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption being permitted.
 
The Company has examined the effects of applying IFRS 9 (2014), and in its opinion the effect on the financial statements will be immaterial.

(2)
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 replaces the current guidance regarding recognition of revenues and presents a new model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 provides two approaches for recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model includes five steps for analyzing transactions so as to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. Furthermore, IFRS 15 provides new and more extensive disclosure requirements than those that exist under current guidance.
 
IFRS 15 is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and earlier application is permitted. The Company has examined the effects of applying IFRS 15, and in its opinion the effect on the financial statements will be immaterial.

(3)
IFRS 16, Leases

IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17, Leases and its related interpretations. The standard's instructions annul the existing requirement from lessees to classify leases as operating or finance leases. Instead of this, for lessees, the new standard presents a unified model for the accounting treatment of all leases according to which the lessee has to recognize an asset and liability in respect of the lease in its financial statements.
 
IFRS 16 is applicable for annual periods as of January 1, 2019, with the possibility of early adoption, so long as the company has also early adopted IFRS 15, Revenue.
 
The Company is examining the effects of IFRS 16 on the financial statements with no plans for early adoption.
 
The Company intends to adopt the Standard as of January 1, 2019 in the cumulative effect approach, while adjusting the retained earnings as at January 1, 2019.
 
Material changes and expected effects:
It should be noted that the information regarding the effects of the initial implementation of the Standard constitutes an initial assessment of the Company and it is possible that an update will be required in respect of the issues identified below with progress in examining the implications of implementing the Standard. In addition, the company examines the expected effects of the implementation of the Standard, the company is unable at this stage to reliably estimate the quantitative impact on its financial statements.

The Company estimates that it is expected to have a material effect on the financial statements on the following matters:
·
An increase in non-current assets and in financial liabilities.
·
An increase in operating profit and financing expenses.
·
Increase in operating cash flow and decrease in cash flow from financing activities.

10.            Claims by Dori Energy, Zorlu and Edelcom

a)
Petition to Approve a Derivative Claim filed by Dori Energy and Hemi Raphael

On April 12, 2015 the Company received two letters from representatives of Dori Energy (hereinafter- "The Representatives") that were addressed to the Company’s Chairman of the Board. As part of these letters, the company is requested to take legal action in order to reveal the engagement between one of the shareholders of the Company, Zorlu Enerji Elektrik Uretim A.S., and the construction contractor of the Dorad power station, Wood Group (EPC contractor). The aforesaid letters are advance notices to the Company regarding the intention of the representatives to file a derivative claim insofar as their requests are not accepted.
 
After examining all the facts relevant to the aforesaid letters and consulting with legal counsel, the Company replied to the representatives on May 26, 2015 and rejected their request to take legal action. On July 16, 2015 the representatives filed with the court a motion to approve a derivative claim in the name of the Company against Zorlu (including the representatives of Zorlu on the Company’s Board of Directors) and the EPC contractor. In the framework of the motion to which also the derivative claim was attached, the representatives demanded that documents and information regarding the engagement between Zorlu and the EPC contractor be disclosed and handed over.
 
On November 15, 2015 the Company filed its reply in which it reiterated its position that the motion for approval of the derivative claim should be denied.
 
On January 12, 2016 the representatives filed a motion to amend the motion for approval of a derivative claim (hereinafter: ‘the motion for amendment”). The motion for amendment raises new allegations by which Zorlu together with Ori Edelsberg (a director in Dorad) and companies under his control supposedly conspired to deceive the Company by “inflating” the cost of the EPC agreement for the purpose of splitting between them the profits from such “inflation”. In addition, in the framework of the motion for amendment it is requested to add Mr. Ori Edelsberg and companies under his control as defendants to the amended motion for approval of a derivative claim and, also, to remove from the claim the representatives of Zorlu on the Company's Board of Directors. It is noted that the motion for approval of a derivative claim as well as the amended motion for approval of a derivative claim that was attached to the motion for amendment, do not include any monetary relief rather request that the court give the representatives permission to split the relief so that they may file a separate monetary claim in the future on behalf of Dorad with respect to Dorad’s financial damages, after they receive all the documents and information they are requesting.

It is noted that the motion for approval of a derivative claim as well as the amended motion for approval of a derivative claim that was attached to the motion for amendment, do not include any monetary relief rather request that the court give the representatives permission to split the relief so that they may file a separate monetary claim in the future on behalf of Dorad with respect to Dorad’s financial damages, after they receive all the documents and information they are requesting.
 
On April 20, 2016 a discussion in court focused on the application to amend the derivative claim was held in court. At the end of the discussion, the court accepted the application to amend the derivative claim in a matter that the amended derivative claim is on the agenda.
 
At the end of July 2016, the respondents filed their responses to the court regarding the amended application of the derivative claim. In accordance with their responses, they deny the Allegations included in the application and according to them they did not do any injustice to the company and therefore the company has no cause of action against them.

b)
A letter from Zorlu
 
On December 27, 2015 the Company received a letter from the representatives of Zorlu that is addressed to the Company’s board of directors (hereinafter: “Zorlu’s letter”). Most of Zorlu’s letter refers to the execution of civil engineering work in a project of Dorad by the Amos Luzon  group Ltd. and U. Dori Construction Ltd. (hereinafter and together: “Dori”) whose services were retained by the EPC contractor. According the letter of Zorlu, Dori did not fulfill its commitments regarding execution of the civil engineering work in Dorad’s project which resulted in delays in construction of the power station. Zorlu is requesting that the Company exercise its legal rights against Dori and the representatives, and insofar as its requests do not receive a positive reply, Zorlu plans to file a motion for approval of a derivative claim.
 
On February 3, 2016 the Company replied to Zorlu’s letter and advised that it requires an additional period beyond that prescribed in the law to examine the matters referred to in Zorlu’s letter. Zorlu replied that it agrees to the Company’s request for additional time.

c)
Petition to Approve a Derivative Claim filed by Edelcom
 
On July 25 , 2016, Edelcom submitted an application for approval of a derivative claim on behalf of the Company against Amos Luzon group, currently set Amos Luzon Development and Energy Ltd. (hereinafter: the Dori Group”), Dori Energy and Ellomay Clean Energy Ltd. (hereinafter: “Ellomay”). Edelcom’s claim is about an entrepreneurship agreement that was signed on November 25, 2010 between the Company and Dori Group, pursuant to which in consideration for the management and entrepreneurship services of the power station project the Dori Group received from the Company payment in the amount of NIS 49.4 million and it undertook to continue holding, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the Company’s share capital for a period of 12 months from the date the power station is handed over to the Company by the construction contractor (hereinafter and respectively: “the entrepreneurship agreement” and “the entrepreneurship fee”). According to Edelcom, Dori Group’s holdings in the Company are through Dori Energy, which on November 25, 2010 entered into a triangular investment agreement between Dori Energy, Ellomay and the Dori Group (hereinafter: “the Dori Energy investment agreement”).In addition, according to Edelcom, when the Dori Energy investment agreement was signed Ellomay received management rights in Dori Energy that are equal to those of the Dori Group while at the same time Ellomay formally held only 40% of the issued share capital of Dori Energy and therefore it was expected that the management rights granted to it would correspond to its holding rate in Dori Energy at that time. In view of the aforesaid, according to Edelcom the Dori Group holdings have fallen below 10% and it has therefore breached its commitment according to the entrepreneurship agreement.
 
On January 4 2017, following a signed arbitration agreement between the parties, a request was filed to the court by the parties for cancellation of the claim and the claim will be heard within the arbitration proceedings. In the Company's estimation, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, at this stage cannot intelligently assess the results of the arbitration proceedings.

14.            PUA decision on regulating the use of fuels in the electricity sector
 
On June 12, 2017, the Electricity Authority reached a decision on regulating the use of fuels in the electricity sector, and within the framework of this decision it was determined that the Electricity Authority will recognize the full price of natural gas for private electricity producers with interruptible gas agreements with the gas supplier retroactively from March 2016. This decision updates the Electricity Authority's previous decision from November 5, 2012, in which the Electricity Authority decided that it would recognize only 90% of the price of natural gas for private electricity producers who purchase natural gas from the gas supplier under an interruptible agreement.
 
In addition, in the framework of that decision, an arrangement was set for the use of fuels for the implementation of a general loading plan whereby the system administrator should semi-annually plan the total quantity of diesel and liquid natural gas required for the electricity sector so that liquid natural gas (if required) will be allocated to the producer with the most expensive gas agreement, and diesel will be allocated according to the relative share of that facility out of the total production of dual-fuel facilities in the electricity sector in the previous calendar year. The aforesaid regulation also defines the required availability of producers for the use of diesel fuel and states that the sale of gas by the IEC to gas consumers outside of the electricity sector will not take place at times when there is a shortage of gas in the electricity sector. The Company estimates that no more extensive operation of diesel fuel is expected than in previous periods

E.
Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

As of December 31, 2017, and since the beginning of commercial operation of the power plant, the management estimates that the main risks are: changes in regulations applicable to the area of operations as approved by the electricity authority, a change in the gas purchase costs and other changes in the electricity and gas market, political and security events.

(1)
Linkage and foreign currency risk

As a result of the Company's agreement with the construction contractor, maintenance contractor and the gas suppliers, as described in Note 11, the Company is exposed to changes in the dollar/NIS exchange rate. In order to reduce this exposure, the Company entered into forward transactions to purchase dollars for NIS.

The Company's exposure to linkage and foreign currency risk is as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

A change as at December 31, 2017 in the exchange rates of the following currencies against the NIS, as indicated below, and a change in the CPI would have increased (decreased) profit or loss and equity by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate and CPI variances that the Company considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.
