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 (‘‘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 June 30, 2006, consolidated results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and consolidated cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 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.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current periods' presentation.

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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had deposits totaling $17,882,000 and $9,889,000, respectively, in six U.S. financial institutions that were federally insured up to $100,000 per account. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company’s deposits in foreign countries of approximately $16,686,000 and $11,935,000, respectively. The Company's uninsured balance of cash investments at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 is $110,117,000 and $85,44,000, respectively.

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately $14,180,000 and $11,017,000, respectively. At June 30, 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 57% and 59% of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively.

Southern California Edison Company (‘‘SCE’’) accounted for 31.1% and 38.6% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 29.1% and 36.1% of the Company’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 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 12.5% and 14.0% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 14.3% and 15.4% of the Company’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Hawaii Electric Light Company accounted for 16.2% and 12.7% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 17.1% and 13.5% of the Company’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 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’’), FASB Interpretation (‘‘FIN’’) 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 under SFAS No. 123R. 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 is effective for inventory cost incurred during the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for the Company). The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are 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 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.

FIN No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (January 1, 2007 for the Company). The Company is currently assessing the impact of FIN No. 48 and has not yet determined the impact that its adoption will have on its results of operations and financial position.

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 in November 2004, in November 2005 and in April 2006 and whose dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 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.

The Zunil Project

Prior to March 13, 2006, The Company had a 21.0% ownership interest in Orzunil I de Electricidad, Limitada (‘‘Orzunil’’), a limited responsibility company incorporated in Guatemala and established for the purpose of generating power by means of a geothermal power plant in the Province of Quetzaltenango in Guatemala. The Company operates and maintains the geothermal power plant and the power purchaser supplies geothermal fluid to the power plant.

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 21.0% 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.

The abovementioned acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the acquired assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives of 13.5 years. The purchase price has been allocated based on management’s preliminary estimates as follows:


  (in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents $ 8
Restricted cash 3,408
Accounts receivable assumed 1,360
Property, plant and equipment 47,420

Total purchase price allocation $ 15,370

Due to hurricane activity, 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 advance payments 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 and June 15, 2006, the Company signed agreements to purchase from each of CDC Group plc (‘‘CDC’’) (whose interest has been managed by Globeleq, Inc.) and International Finance Corporation (‘‘IFC’’), both of which are the Zunil Project’s senior lenders, a 14.1% partnership interest in Orzunil (for a total of 28.2%), which when completed will increase its existing 71.8% ownership interest in Orzunil to 100%. The total purchase price of both acquisitions is $6.5 million, of which 50% has been paid and the remainder will be paid upon final completion of the acquisitions, as described below.

On July, 20, 2006, the first stage for consummation of the above acquisitions was completed. At this time, the Company holds proxies to act as owner of the acquired interests. The only items pending for completion of the second and final stage of these acquisitions is a statutory publication

period (which has already commenced), and final registration of the ownership transfers at the authorized Guatemalan registry, against which the remaining balance of 50% of the total purchase prices will be paid. Final completion is expected to occur before the end of the third quarter of 2006.

The revenues of Orzunil and the Company's share in the net income of Orzunil for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $3,637,000 and $667,000, respectively.

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.

OLCL is a limited partnership established for the purpose of developing, financing, operating, and maintaining a geothermal power plant in Leyte Provina, the Philippines. Upon the adoption of FIN No. 46R on March 31, 2004, the Company concluded that OLCL should not be consolidated. As a result of such conclusion, the Company’s 80% ownership interest in OLCL is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

International Finance Corporation (‘‘IFC’’) Loan A

Orzunil, a 71.8% owned subsidiary of the Company, has a senior loan agreement with IFC, which is a minority shareholder of Orzunil (see also Note 5). The loan matures on November 15, 2011, and is payable in 47 quarterly installments ranging from $192,000 to $430,000. The loan has a fixed annual interest rate of 11.775%.

International Finance Corporation (‘‘IFC’’) Loan B

Orzunil has another senior loan agreement with IFC. The loan matures on May 15, 2008, and is payable in 32 quarterly installments ranging from $436,000 to $690,000. The loan has a fixed annual interest rate of 11.730%.

Commonwealth Development Corporation (‘‘CDC’’) Loan

Orzunil has a senior loan agreement with CDC, which is also a minority shareholder of Orzunil (see also Note 5). The loan matures on August 15, 2010, and is payable in 42 quarterly installments ranging from $348,000 to $675,000. The loan has a fixed annual interest rate of 10.300%.

There are various restrictive covenants under these Senior Loans, which include limitations on Orzunil's ability to make distributions to its shareholders.

Due to hurricane activity, 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 (see Note 5). As a result, Orzunil did not meet the ‘‘Debt Service Coverage Ratio’’ and with the consent of its Senior Lenders, Orzunil used cash on deposit in certain restricted accounts under these Senior Loans for purposes of working capital and a debt service payment installment.

Junior Subordinated Loans

Orzunil has junior subordinated loans from its shareholders. The loans are uncollateralized and non-interest bearing and shall be repaid once subordinated loans granted to Orzunil by the Company are repaid.

OFC Senior Secured Notes

On February 13, 2004, OFC, a wholly owned subsidiary, issued $190.0 million, 8¼% Senior Secured Notes (the ‘‘OFC Senior Secured Notes’’) in an offering subject to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and received net cash proceeds of approximately $179.7 million, after deduction of issuance costs of approximately $10.3 million which have been included in deferred financing costs in the balance sheets. The OFC Senior Secured Notes have a final maturity date of December 30, 2020. Principal and interest on the OFC Senior Secured Notes are payable in semi-annual payments which commenced on June 30, 2004. The OFC Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of OFC, and secured (with certain exceptions) by all real property, contractual rights, revenues and bank accounts, intercompany notes and certain insurance policies of OFC and its subsidiaries. There are various restrictive covenants under the OFC Senior Secured Notes, which include limitations on additional indebtedness and payment of dividends. As of June 30, 2006, OFC did not meet the ‘‘Debt Service Coverage Ratio’’ and therefore it is restricted from payment of dividends until it meets such ratio. Management believes that as of June 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all other covenants contained in the indenture governing the OFC Senior Secured Notes.

Debt service reserve

As required under the terms of the OrCal Senior Secured Notes, OrCal maintains an account, with a required minimum balance, which may be funded by cash or backed by letters of credit in an amount sufficient to pay scheduled debt service amounts, including principal and interest, due under the terms of the OrCal Senior Secured Notes in the following six months.

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such account was $10.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively, in cash.

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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, amounted to $57.3 million and $58.3 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $4.9 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 between PGV and 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such account was $3.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

Lease rent reserve accounts

PGV maintains accounts to fund the next rent payment according to the payment schedule. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such accounts was $3.2 million 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such account was $0.8 million 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 that is the indirect parent of PGV, if the balance is less than $0.5 million. As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of such account was $9.9 million 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 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.
