NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Ormat Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or ‘‘SEC’’) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2006 and consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three-months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2005 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable.

The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions located in the United States (‘‘U.S.’’) and in foreign countries. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had deposits totaling $10,972,000 and $9,889,000, respectively, in six U.S. financial institutions that were federally insured up to $100,000 per account. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company’s deposits in foreign countries of approximately $7,890,000 and $11,935,000, respectively, were not insured.

At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately $14,599,000 and $11,017,000, respectively. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, accounts receivable from the Company’s major customers that have generated 10% or more of its revenues amounted to approximately 59% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

Southern California Edison Company (‘‘SCE’’) accounted for 27.5% and 33.4% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. SCE is also the power purchaser and revenue source for the Company’s Mammoth project, which is accounted for separately under the equity method of accounting.

Sierra Pacific Power Company accounted for 16.3% and 16.9% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Hawaii Electric Light Company accounted for 18.1% and 14.3% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company requires its customer in Nicaragua to provide a cash security arrangement for its payment obligations. The Company has historically been able to collect on all of its receivable balances, and accordingly, no provision for doubtful accounts has been made.

NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS No. 123R (Revised 2004) – Share-Based Payments

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 123, Share-Based Payment (‘‘SFAS No. 123R’’), which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company obtains employee services in exchange for: (i) equity instruments of the company, or (ii) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for employee share-based payment transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (‘‘APB No. 25’’), and FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, and other related interpretations and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using the grant date fair value based method. SFAS No. 123R is applicable to the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. SFAS No. 123R applies to all awards granted or modified after the Statement’s effective date. In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on the Statement’s effective date shall be recognized on or after the effective date, as the related services are rendered, based on the awards’ grant date fair value as previously calculated for the pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123.

The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 123R as of its adoption date by the Company (January 1, 2006), based on the awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005 is not material. The Company applies the modified prospective application transition method, as permitted hereunder. Under such transition method, upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the effective date have not been restated.

SFAS No. 151 – Inventory Costs

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs – An Amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for the Company). The provisions of SFAS No. 151 shall be applied prospectively. The adoption by the Company of SFAS No. 151, effective January 1, 2006, did not have any impact on its results of operations and financial position.

SFAS No. 154 – Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and FAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new

9




Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate, and correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for the Company). The adoption by the Company of SFAS No. 154, effective January 1, 2006, did not have any impact on its results of operations and financial position.

EITF Issue No. 04-5 – Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights

In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (‘‘EITF’’) Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF Issue No. 04-5 provides guidance in determining whether a general partner controls a limited partnership and therefore should consolidate the limited partnership. EITF Issue No. 04-5 states that the general partner in a limited partnership is presumed to control that limited partnership and that the presumption may be overcome if the limited partners have either: (i) the substantive ability to dissolve or liquidate the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause, or (ii) substantive participating rights. The effective date for applying the guidance in EITF Issue No. 04-5 was: (i) June 29, 2005 for all new limited partnerships and existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreement was modified after that date, and (ii) no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for the Company), for all other limited partnerships. The adoption by the Company of EITF Issue No. 04-5, effective January 1, 2006, did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 155 – Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 155 replaces SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 155 permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. It clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 also establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. It also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 shall be effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first year that begins after September 2006 (January 1, 2007 for the Company). The Company does not expect SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position in future periods.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stock shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company does not have any equity instruments that are dilutive, except for employee stock options which were granted on November 10, 2004 and on November 9, 2005 and whose dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is immaterial. The stock options granted to employees of the Company in Ormat Industries Ltd. (the ‘‘Parent’’) stock are not dilutive to the Company’s earnings per share.

On March 13, 2006, the Company acquired a 50.8% ownership interest in Orzunil, and increased its then existing 21.0% ownership interest to 71.8%. The purchase price was $15.4 million, including acquisition costs of approximately $0.6 million.

The Company’s 21% ownership interest in Orzunil prior to the abovementioned acquisition was accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company had the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Orzunil. As a result of the acquisition of the additional 50.8% interest in Orzunil, the financial statements of Orzunil have been consolidated effective March 13, 2006. The unrelated entities' 28.2% interest in Orzunil has been reflected as "Minority interest in net assets of subsidiaries" in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Due to a recent hurricane, access roads and piping from the wells to the power plant in the Zunil Project were damaged and as a result, the Project was not in operation from October 14, 2005 to March 10, 2006. Orzunil has filed an insurance claim in respect of the damage, which is currently under discussion with the insurance company. Orzunil has already received an advance payment against the claim. The Company believes that the final resolution of the claim will not have a material impact on its results of operations.

On April 27, 2006, the Company signed an agreement to purchase from an unrelated third party, CDC Group plc, a 14.1% partnership interest in Orzunil, which when completed will increase its existing 71.8% ownership interest in Orzunil to 85.9%. The purchase price is $3,250,000. The closing of the acquisition, which is expected to take place by the end of the second quarter of 2006, is subject to the approval of Orzunil members including the International Finance Corporation (‘‘IFC’’), which is also one of the project’s senior lenders.

The Mammoth Project

The Company has a 50% interest in the Mammoth Project, which is comprised of three geothermal power plants, located near the city of Mammoth, California. The purchase price was less than the underlying net equity of Mammoth by approximately $9.3 million. As such, the basis difference will be amortized over the remaining useful life of the property, plant and equipment and the power purchase agreements, which range from 12 to 17 years. The Company operates and maintains the geothermal power plants under an operating and maintenance (‘‘O&M’’) agreement. The Company’s 50% ownership interest in Mammoth is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Mammoth.

NOTE 7 – REFINANCING OF THE PUNA PROJECT

On May 19, 2005, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Hawaii, Puna Geothermal Ventures (‘‘PGV’’) completed a refinancing of the cost of the June 2004 acquisition of the Puna geothermal power plant located on the Big Island of Hawaii (the ‘‘Puna Project’’). A secondary stage of the lease transaction which refinanced two new geothermal wells that PGV drilled in the second half of 2005 (for production and injection) was completed on December 30, 2005. The refinancing was concluded with financing parties by means of the lease-leaseback transactions described below.

Pursuant to a 31-year head lease (the ‘‘Head Lease’’), PGV leased its geothermal power plant to an unrelated company in return for prepaid lease payments in the total amount of $83.0 million (the ‘‘Deferred Lease Income’’). The total costs of the leased assets as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, amounted to $57.9 and $58.3 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $4.3 and $3.7 million, respectively. The unrelated company (the ‘‘Lessor’’) simultaneously leased-back the Puna Project to PGV under a 23-year lease (the ‘‘Project Lease’’). PGV’s rent obligations under the Project Lease will be paid solely from revenues generated by the Puna Project under a power purchase agreement that PGV has with Hawaii Electric Light Company (‘‘HELCO’’). The Head Lease and the Project Lease are non-recourse lease obligations to the Company. PGV’s rights in the geothermal resource and the related power purchase agreement have not been leased to the Lessor as part of the Head Lease but are part of the Lessor’s security package.

Neither the Head Lease nor the Project Lease meet one or more of the criteria set forth in paragraph 7 of SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, for classification as capital leases and, therefore, are accounted for as operating leases. The Deferred Lease Income will be amortized, using the straight-line method, over the 31-year term of the Head Lease. Deferred transaction costs amounting to $4.3 million will be amortized, using the straight-line method, over the 23-year term of the Project Lease.

Depository accounts

As required under the terms of the lease agreements, there are certain reserve funds that need to be managed by the indenture trustee in accordance with certain balance requirements and which are included in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 in restricted cash accounts and are classified as current as they are used to pay current payments.

Revenue account

PGV deposits all revenues received into the revenue account. Such amounts are used to pay operating expenses and fund the depository accounts as described below, but the funds are only available to PGV upon submission of draw requests by PGV to the bank. As such amounts are fully restricted to use by PGV, they have been classified as current restricted assets as the amounts are used to pay current operating expenses. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such account was $3.3 and $3.5 million, respectively.

Lease rent reserve accounts

PGV maintains accounts to fund the full amount of the next rent payment according to the payment schedule. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such accounts was $6.2 and $2.3 million, respectively.

Well maintenance reserve account

PGV maintains a reserve account to fund well field works including the drilling of new wells. The reserve should be met on a monthly basis, in amounts equal to 1/12 of a scheduled annual contribution. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such account was $0.6 and $0.5 million, respectively.

Capital expenditure account

PGV maintains an account to fund its capital expenditures. Deposits to this account are at PGV’s sole discretion, but no distributions are allowed to Ormat Nevada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, if the balance is less than $0.5 million. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance in this account was $0.5 million and $0, respectively.

Distribution account

PGV maintains an account to deposit its remaining cash, after making all of the necessary payments and transfers as provided for in the lease agreements, in order to make distributions to Ormat Nevada Inc. The distributions are allowed only if PGV maintains various restrictive covenants under the lease agreements, which include limitations on additional indebtedness. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such account was $3.8 and $6.8 million, respectively. This amount can be distributed to Ormat Nevada Inc. currently and has been classified as current restricted assets.

In anticipation of the above refinancing, on February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a treasury rate lock agreement with a financial institution, at a locked-in treasury rate of 4.31%, with a notional amount of $52.0 million, which terminated on March 31, 2005. The rate lock was based on a 10-year treasury security that matures on February 15, 2015. On March 31, 2005, the Company received from the counterparty to the rate lock agreement an amount of $658,000. This amount net of related taxes of $250,000 is recorded as ‘‘Gain in respect of derivative instruments designated for cash flow hedge, net of related taxes’’ under ‘‘Other comprehensive income (loss)’’ and is amortized over the 23-year term of the Project Lease.

On April 20, 2005, the Company entered into a new treasury rate lock agreement with the same financial institution, at a locked-in treasury rate of 4.22%, with a notional amount of $52.0 million and originally scheduled to terminate on May 2, 2005. The new rate lock agreement’s termination date was extended until May 18, 2005 at a new locked-in treasury rate of 4.25%. The rate lock was based on a 10-year treasury security that matures on February 15, 2015. There was no consideration paid by either party as a result of the extension. On May 18, 2005, the Company paid the counterparty to the new rate lock agreement the amount of $762,000. This amount net of related taxes of $290,000 is recorded as ‘‘Loss in respect of derivative instruments designated for cash flow hedge, net of related taxes’’ under ‘‘Other comprehensive income (loss)’’ and is amortized over the 23-year term of the Project Lease.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, using the modified prospective application transition method, which establishes accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company obtains employee services in exchange for: (i) equity instruments of the company, or (ii) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for employee share-based payment transactions using APB No. 25 and related interpretations and requires that such transactions be accounted for using the grant date fair value based method. SFAS

18




Table of Contents

ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

No. 123R applies to all awards granted or modified after January 1, 2006 (the ‘‘effective date’’). In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on the effective date shall be recognized on or after such date, as the related services are rendered, based on the awards’ grant date fair value as previously calculated for the pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company previously applied APB No. 25 and related interpretations and provided pro forma disclosure of SFAS No. 123.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company provided the disclosure required under SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.

Pro forma net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was as follows:

Pro forma net income $ 3,841

Pro forma $ 0.12  

Impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R

As stated above, the Company elected to adopt the modified prospective application method provided by SFAS No. 123R. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded stock-based compensation costs totaling the amount that would have been recognized had the fair value method been applied since the effective date. Previously reported amounts have not been restated.

As required by SFAS No. 123R, management has made an estimate of expected forfeiture and is recognizing compensation costs only for those equity awards expected to vest. The cumulative effect of initially adopting SFAS No. 123R is not material.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company had an unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance related to stock options of $813,000 before estimated forfeiture. In the Company’s pro forma disclosure prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for forfeiture upon occurrence. SFAS 123R requires forfeiture to be estimated at the time of grant and revised if necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeiture differ from those estimates. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2006, the Company estimates that the unrecorded stock-based compensation balance related to stock options was adjusted to $772,000 after estimated forfeitures of 5%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company did not grant any stock options.

The Parent’s Stock Option Plans

Ormat Industries Ltd. (the ‘‘Parent’’) has four stock option plans: the 2001 Employee Stock Option Plan, the 2002 Employee Stock Option Plan, the 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan, and the 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan (collectively ‘‘the Parent’s Plans’’). Options under the 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan were granted in April 2004. Under the Parent’s Plans, employees of the Company were granted options to purchase the Parent’s ordinary shares, which are registered and traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. Options under the Parent’s Plans cliff vest and are exercisable from the grant date as follows: 25% after 24 months, 25% after 36 months, and the remaining 50% after 48 months. Vested options may be exercised for up to five years from the date of grant. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be optioned and sold under the Parent’s Plans is determined each year by the Parent’s board of directors of the Parent, and is equal to the number of options granted during each plan year. None of the options are exercisable or convertible into shares of the Company.

As of March 31, 2006, no shares of the Parent’s ordinary shares are available for future grants.
