EXPLANATORY NOTE
Ormat Technologies, Inc. is filing this amendment on Form 10-Q/A to its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005 originally filed on August 12, 2005, to correct an error contained in the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Historical Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005". Accordingly, the Company's historical financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2005 should no longer be relied upon. The error relates to the classification of a prepaid lease payment of $67.7 million prepaid, net of deferred costs received in May 2005, incorrectly reported as cash flows provided by financing activities rather than cash flows provided by operating activities resulting in an understatement of cash flows from operating activities and an overstatement of cash flows from financing activities by the same amount. The components of cash flows and the explanation thereof in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Historical Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005" have been corrected accordingly. No other financial statement items were affected by the error referred to above. This Form 10-Q/A does not otherwise amend the Form 10-Q, except for disclosure in Item 4. This amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-Q.

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, 2005, consolidated results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and condensed consolidated cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
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, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.
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/A for the year ended December 31, 2004. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000.
Restatement
These financial statements have been amended to correct an error contained in the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The error relates to the classification of a prepaid lease payment of $67.7 million payment, net of deferred costs, received in May 2005, incorrectly included in cash flows provided by financing activities rather than cash flows provided by operating activities resulting in an understatement of cash flows from operating activities and an overstatement of cash flows from financing activities by the same amount. No other items were affected by the error referred to above.
Hereafter is a table showing the erroneous and the corrected cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005:

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, 2005 and December 31,

(Unaudited)
2004, the Company had deposits totaling $13,937,000 and $30,988,000, respectively, in five U.S. financial institutions that were federally insured up to $100,000 per account. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company's deposits in foreign countries of approximately $6,400,000 and $9,184,000, respectively, were not insured.
At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately $13,193,000 and $7,963,000, respectively. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, accounts receivable from the Company's major customers that have generated 10% or more of its revenues amounted to approximately 72% and 80% of the Company's accounts receivable, respectively.
Southern California Edison Company accounted for 38.8% and 42.4% of the Company's total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 36.2% and 41.6% of the Company's total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Southern California Edison Company is also the power purchaser and revenue source for the Company's Mammoth project, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Sierra Pacific Power Company accounted for 14.1% and 14.3% of the Company's total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 15.5% and 13.1 % of the Company's total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Following the acquisition of the Puna project in June 2004, Hawaii Electric Light Company became one of the Company's key customers, accounting for 12.7% and 13.5% or the Company's total revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 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 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in respect of options issued to its employees based on the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25"), and Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, and other related interpretations which state that no compensation expense is required to be recorded for stock options or other stock-based awards to employees that are granted with an exercise price equal to or above the estimated fair value per share of common stock on the grant date. In the event that stock options are granted at a price lower than the fair market value at that date, the difference between the fair market value of the common stock and the exercise price of the stock options is recorded as unearned stock-based compensation. Unearned compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period applicable to the stock option. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as it relates to stock options granted to employees, which requires pro forma net income be disclosed based on the fair value of the options granted at the date of the grant.
Had compensation cost for the options granted to employees of the Company been determined based on the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company's pro forma net income and net income per share would have been as follows:

NOTE 3 – REFINANCING OF THE PUNA PROJECT
On May 19, 2005, the Company's subsidiary in Hawaii, Puna Geothermal Ventures ("PGV") completed a refinancing of the cost of its June 2004 acquisition of the Puna geothermal power plant located on the Big Island of Hawaii (the "Puna Project"). The refinancing was concluded with financing parties by means of the lease transactions described below.
Pursuant to a 31-year head lease (the "Head Lease"), PGV leased its geothermal power plant to an unrelated company (the "Lessor") in return for a prepaid lease payment in the amount of $71 million (the "Deferred Lease Income"). PGV's rights in the geothermal resource and the related power purchase agreement will not be leased to the Lessor as part of the Head Lease but will be part of the Lessor's security package. PGV simultaneously leased-back the Puna facilities from the Lessor 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 Inc. ("HELCO"). The Head Lease and the Project Lease are non-recourse lease obligations to the Company.
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 $4.2 million will be amortized, using the straight-line method, over the 23-year term of the Project Lease. The net annual lease expenses will be $2.6 million (which is net of the $2.3 million annual amortization of the Deferred Lease Income).

A secondary stage of the lease transaction is anticipated to refinance two new geothermal wells that PGV plans to drill during the remainder of 2005 (for production and injection). Upon the completion of the drilling of such wells and meeting certain other operation conditions, the Lessor and PGV will supplement the Head Lease and Project Lease agreements to include the additional wells in a manner similar to the original Head Lease and Project Lease. The total amount to be received is approximately $11.8 million. In May 2005, the Company received an advance of $7.6 million related to the anticipated refinancing.
Reserve accounts |
As required under the terms of the refinancing 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 sheet as of June 30, 2005 in restricted cash accounts, as mentioned below: |
PGV maintains accounts to fund the full amount of the next rent payment according to the payment schedule. |
PGV maintains an account to fund well field work that is not included in the annual budget, including the drilling of new wells (except for the 2005 wells which have separate accounts as described below). The reserve should be met on a monthly basis, in amounts equal to 1/12 of a scheduled annual contribution. |
PGV maintains accounts, which are deposited with the indenture trustee until December 30, 2005 to serve as make-whole payments, in case the secondary stage does not occur. As of June 30, 2005, the balance of such accounts is approximately $1.4 million.
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 abovementioned 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 4 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS No. 123R (Revised 2004) – Share-Based Payments
In December 2004, the FASB issued the revised SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payments ("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 APB No. 25 and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using the grant date fair value based method. On April 14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS No. 123R. In accordance with the new rule, the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123R will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Early adoption of SFAS No. 123R is encouraged. SFAS No. 123R applies to all awards granted or modified after its effective date. In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on SFAS No. 123R's 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.
The Company estimates that the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 123R as of its effective date by the Company (January 1, 2006), based on the awards outstanding as of June 30, 2005, will be immaterial. This estimate does not include the impact of additional awards, which may be granted, or forfeitures, which may occur subsequent to June 30, 2005 and prior to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123R. The Company expects that upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, it will apply the modified prospective application transition method, as permitted thereunder. Under such transition method, upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company's consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the effective date will not be restated. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 123R to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position in future periods.
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). Earlier application of SFAS No. 151 is permitted. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 shall be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position in future periods.
SFAS No. 153 – Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that
13
ORMAT
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The provisions in SFAS No. 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 (July 1, 2005 for the Company). Early application of SFAS No. 153 is permitted. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 shall be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 153 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position in future periods.
FIN No. 47 – Accounting for Conditional Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143
In March of 2005, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 ("FIN No. 47"), which requires companies to recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset-retirement activities that are conditional on a future event, if the amount can be reasonably estimated. FIN No. 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for the Company). Retrospective application for interim financial information is permitted but is not required. Early adoption of FIN No. 47 is encouraged. The Company does not expect FIN No. 47 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position in future periods.
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 Company does not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position in future periods.
NOTE 5 – INCOME PER SHARE
Basic income 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 whose dilutive effect on the net income per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 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 income per share.

Loan three
On March 10, 2005, the Company repaid a $10 million loan from a bank in full. The outstanding amount that was paid off on such date was $3.3 million.
Bridge loan two
In June 2004, the Company entered into a $20 million revolving credit agreement. On February 10, 2005, the Company repaid the then outstanding balance under the agreement. The full amount of the line of credit remains available through December 31, 2005 and is guaranteed by the Parent. The interest on the line of credit is computed at LIBOR plus 1.45% and is payable quarterly.
Senior secured notes
On February 13, 2004, the Company, through Ormat Funding Corp. ("Ormat Funding") , a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the issuance of $190 million 8¼% senior secured notes (the "Notes" or "Senior Secured Notes") pursuant to an exempt offering under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Offering"), from which it received net cash proceeds of approximately $179.7 million after deduction of deferred issuance costs of approximately $10.3 million. Such net proceeds have been included in deferred financing costs at December 31, 2004. The Notes have a final maturity date of December 30, 2020. Principal and interest on the Notes are payable in semi-annual payments that commenced in June 30, 2004. The Notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of Ormat Funding and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of Ormat Funding, and (with certain exceptions) by all real property, contractual rights, revenues and bank accounts, intercompany notes, certain insurance policies and guarantees of Ormat Funding and its subsidiaries. There are various restrictive covenants under the Notes, which include limitations on additional indebtedness and payment of dividends.
Ormat Funding may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest, premium and liquidated damages, if any, plus a "make-whole" premium. Upon certain events, as defined in the indenture governing the Notes, Ormat Funding may be required to redeem a portion of the Notes at a redemption price ranging from 100% to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest, premium and liquidated damages, if any.
A registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Notes was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2005. Pursuant to the registration statement, Ormat Funding made an offer to the holders of the Notes to exchange them for publicly registered exchange notes with substantially identical terms until March 11, 2005. On March 16, 2005 the exchange offer was completed.
As required under the terms of the Notes, Ormat Funding has restricted cash accounts, consisting of the following:
Galena's construction reserve
As required under the terms of the Notes, Ormat Funding set aside approximately $25.8 million ($8.9 million at June 30, 2005) to replace the existing equipment at the Steamboat 1/1A project with more efficient equipment, in order to optimize the geothermal resources available. After such replacement, the Company will rename the Steamboat 1/1A project as the Galena project. The Company expects the construction will be complete and the project will achieve commercial operations by the end of 2005.
Debt service reserve
Ormat Funding maintains an account, which may be funded by cash or backed by letters of credit (see Note 10), to fund an amount sufficient to pay scheduled debt service amounts, including

principal and interest, due under the terms of the Notes in the following six months. As of June 30, 2005, the balance of such account was $10.8 million in cash.
Revenue reserve
Ormat Funding deposits all revenues received into the revenue account. Such amounts are used to pay operating expenses and fund the debt service reserve account, but the funds are only available to Ormat Funding upon submission of draw requests by Ormat Funding to the bank. As such amounts are not fully unrestricted for use by Ormat Funding, they have been classified as restricted (current) in the balance sheets. As of June 30, 2005, the balance of such account was $4.1 million.
NOTE 9 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has two reporting segments that are aggregated based on similar products, market and operating factors: electricity and products segments. Such segments are managed and reported separately as each offers different products and serves different markets. The electricity segment is engaged in the sale of electricity pursuant to power purchase agreements. The products segment is engaged in the manufacture, including design and development, of turbines and power units for the supply of electrical energy and in the associated construction of power plants utilizing the power units manufactured by the Company to supply energy from geothermal fields and other alternative energy sources. Transfer prices between the operating segments are determined based on current market values or cost plus markup of the seller's business segment.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Letters of credit
In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and lenders, the Company is contingently liable for performance under letters of credit totaling $22.8 million and $25.8 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively (out of these amounts, letters of credit totaling $8.8 million and $25.8 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, have been obtained by the Parent on behalf of the Company). Management does not expect any material expense to result from these letters of credit because performance is not expected to be required and, therefore, is of the opinion that the fair value of these instruments is zero.
LOC Agreement
In addition, a wholly owned subsidiary, Ormat Nevada, Inc., has a letter of credit and loan agreement ("LOC Agreement") with Hudson United Bank pursuant to which Hudson United Bank agreed to issue one or more letters of credit for an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million. The LOC Agreement expires on June 30, 2007, which expiry date shall be extended for successive one-year periods unless notice is provided by either the Company or the bank to the contrary. In the event that the bank is required to pay on a letter of credit drawn by the beneficiary thereof, such letter of credit converts into a loan, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 4.0%, to be repaid in equal installments at the end of each of the next four quarters. There are various restrictive covenants in the LOC Agreement, which include maintaining certain levels of tangible net worth, leverage ratio, and minimum coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2005, management believes that the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the LOC Agreement. At December 31, 2004, letters of credit amounting to $10.8 million and $3.6 million were issued under the LOC Agreement, which were used to replace cash on deposit in reserve funds pledged against the Ormat Funding Notes and the Beal Bank Credit Agreement, respectively. As of June 30, 2005, such letters of credit have not been renewed by the Company.
Phase II of the Olkaria III Project in Kenya
The Company has waived the receipt of a letter from the Kenyan government that would have supported the payment obligations of Kenya Power & Lighting Co. Ltd. ("KPLC") as a necessary prerequisite for proceeding with Phase II of the Olkaria III project in Kenya, and therefore did not

provide a notice of cancellation of Phase II to KPLC. As a result, the Company is required to construct Phase II and to reach commercial operations by May 31, 2007, in order to avoid financial penalties, or by April 17, 2008, at the latest, to avoid termination of the entire power purchase agreement.
Contingencies
In response to an order issued by a California State Court of Appeal, the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC"), has commenced an administrative proceeding in order to address short run avoided cost ("SRAC") pricing for Qualifying Facilities for the period from December 2000 to March 2001. The court directed that the CPUC modify SRAC pricing on a retroactive basis to the extent that the CPUC determined that SRAC prices were not sufficiently "accurate" or "correct". On February 15, 2005, the CPUC issued a draft decision affirming that SRAC pricing during the disputed period was correct and compliant with the Public Utility Regulated Policies Act ("PURPA") requirements and that no retroactive adjustments are warranted. Comments on the draft may be filed and a final decision from the CPUC has not yet been issued. If the SRAC prices charged during the period in question were determined by the CPUC to not be "accurate" or "correct", retroactive price adjustments could be required with respect to payments by any of the Company's Qualifying Facilities in California that are tied to SRAC pricing, including the Heber 1, Mammoth and Ormesa projects. Currently it is not possible to predict the final outcome of such proceeding; however, any retroactive price adjustments required to be made in relation to any of the Company's projects may require such projects to make refund payments or charge less for future sales, which could materially and adversely effect the business, financial condition, future results and cash flow of the Company.
In connection with the power purchase agreements for the Ormesa project, Southern California Edison Company ("SCE") has challenged the contract rate for the power supplied by the GEM 2 and GEM 3 plants to the Ormesa project for auxiliary purposes. SCE contends that California ISO real-time prices should apply, while management believes that SP-15 prices quoted by NYMEX should apply. According to SCE's estimation, the amount under dispute is approximately $2.5 million. Management is in early discussions with SCE and does not believe that the resolution will materially affect the Company's financial results.
Steamboat Geothermal LLC ("SG"), a wholly owned subsidiary that owns the Steamboat 1/1A Project is a defendant in litigation related to a dispute over amounts owed to the plaintiffs under certain operating agreements. SG has initiated settlement discussions with the plaintiff and the Company believes that any outcome will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.
The Company is a defendant in various other legal suits in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of the Company's management that the expected outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
Certain of the Company's projects are subject to contested Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") rulings whereby an adverse outcome could result in the refunding of a portion of previously-recognized revenues to customers and/or a reduction in future revenues from those projects. The outcome of theses matters cannot be predicted at this time.
NOTE 11 – CASH DIVIDEND
On October 21, 2004, the Company's Board of Directors declared, approved and authorized the payment of a cash dividend in the aggregate amount of $2.5 million ($0.1025 per share). Such dividend was paid on March 2, 2005.

General
Overview
We are a leading vertically integrated company engaged in the geothermal and recovered energy power business. We design, develop, build, own and operate clean, environmentally friendly geothermal power plants, and we also design, develop and build, and plan to own and operate, recovered energy-based power plants, in each case, using equipment that we design and manufacture. In addition, we sell the equipment we design and manufacture for geothermal electricity generation, recovered energy-based electricity generation, and other equipment for electricity generation to third parties. Our operations consist of two principal business segments. The first consists of the sale of electricity from our power plants, which we refer to as the Electricity Segment. The second consists of the design, manufacturing and sale of equipment for electricity generation, the installation thereof and the provision of services relating to the engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance of geothermal and recovered energy power plants, which we refer to as the Products Segment.
Our Electricity Segment currently consists of our investment in power plants producing electricity from geothermal resources. It will also include our planned investment in power plants producing electricity from recovered energy resources. Our geothermal power plants include both power plants that we have built and power plants that we have acquired. Our Products Segment consists of the design, manufacture and sale of equipment that generates electricity, principally from geothermal and recovered energy resources, but also using other fuel sources as well. Our Products Segment also includes, to the extent requested by our customers, the installation of our equipment and other related power plant installations and the provision of services relating to the engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance of geothermal and recovered energy power plants. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our Electricity Segment represented approximately 75.3% of our total revenues, while our Products Segment represented approximately 24.7% of our total revenues during such period.
In the six months ended June 30, 2005, total Electricity Segment revenues from the sale of electricity by our wholly owned power plants were $82.6 million. In addition, revenues from our 50% ownership of the Mammoth Project and from our 80% ownership of the Leyte Project were $9.8 million. The investments in such projects are accounted for in our consolidated financial statements under the equity method.
Our Electricity Segment operations are conducted in the United States and throughout the world. We have increased our net ownership interest in generating capacity by 164 MW between December
24
31, 2002 and June 30, 2005, of which 150 MW was attributable to our acquisition of geothermal power plants from third parties and 14 MW was attributable to increased generating capacity of our existing geothermal power plants resulting from plant technology upgrades and improvements to our geothermal reservoir operations. Since January 1, 2001, we have completed various acquisitions of geothermal power plants in the United States with an aggregate acquisition cost, net of cash received, of $503.9 million. We also own or control as well as operate geothermal projects in Guatemala, Kenya, Nicaragua and the Philippines.
Our Products Segment operations are also conducted in the United States and throughout the world. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, revenues attributable to our Products Segment were $27.1 million. We have identified recovered energy-based power generation as a significant market opportunity for us in the United States and throughout the world. In the second quarter of this year we entered into supply and construction agreements valued at approximately $9.1 million with a pipeline company in Western Canada for an Ormat Recovered Energy Generation ("REG") facility system. We also have signed a letter of intent and are currently negotiating a definitive agreement with a utility company located in the northwest region of the United States regarding the proposed acquisition by the utility of a REG facility for a purchase price of approximately $13.0 million. We expect that an important component of our Products Segment will be the design, manufacturing and sale of recovered energy products that we expect will allow us (in our Electricity Segment) and potential customers (in our Products Segment) to utilize waste heat for the purpose of producing electricity.
Our Electricity Segment is characterized by relatively predictable revenues generated by our power plants pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements, with terms which are generally up to 20 years. By contrast, revenues attributable to our Products Segment, which are based on the sale of equipment and the provision of various services to our customers are far less predictable and may vary significantly from period to period. Our management assesses the performance of our two segments of operation differently. In the case of our Electricity Segment, when making decisions about potential acquisitions or the development of new projects, our management typically focuses on the internal rate of return of the relevant investment, relevant technical and geological matters and other relevant business considerations. Additionally, as part of our Electricity Segment, our management evaluates our operating projects based on the performance of such projects in terms of revenues and expenses in contrast to projects that are under development, which our management evaluates based on costs attributable to each such project. By contrast, our management evaluates the performance of our Products Segment based on the timely delivery of our products, performance quality of our products and costs actually incurred to complete customer orders as compared to the costs originally budgeted for such orders.
During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, our total revenues increased by 7.0% (from $52.1 to $55.7 million) and 10.0% (from $99.7 to $109.6 million), respectively, over the same periods last year. Revenues from the Electricity Segment increased by 14.6% and 17.6%, respectively, while revenues from the Product Segment decreased by 11.2% and 8.2%, respectively, from the same periods last year. It is important to note, however, that revenues in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 included all revenues generated by the Steamboat 2/3 project that we acquired on February 13, 2004 and the Steamboat Hills and Puna projects that we acquired during the second quarter of 2004. Accordingly, our results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 may not be comparable with our results for the same periods in 2004.
During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, our U.S. projects generated 443,856 MWh and 914,347 MWh, respectively, which include our 50% share in the Mammoth project. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, our U.S. projects generated 411,499 MWh and 796, 453 MWh, respectively, which include our 50% share in the Mammoth project.

Recent Developments
On June 30, 2005, Puna Geothermal Ventures ("PGV") completed the re-drilling of an existing production well at the Puna project. The well re-drilling increased net generating capacity of the power plant by approximately 4 MW, bringing the total net generating capacity to approximately 29 MW.
On June 20, 2005, our 25-year power purchase agreement with Basin Electric Power Corporation became effective, pursuant to which we will supply approximately 22 MW from REG power plants. The power plants are to be constructed between 15 and 18 months from the effectiveness of the power purchase agreement. The power plants will be constructed on gas compressor stations along a natural gas pipeline in North and South Dakota.
On June 1, 2005, two of our subsidiaries entered into supply and construction contracts with a pipeline company in Western Canada for an Ormat REG power plant in the amount of approximately $9.1 million. The power plant will have design capacity of 5 MW net and will utilize recovered waste heat from gas turbines driving compressors on a natural gas pipeline.
On May 19, 2005, our subsidiary in Hawaii, Puna Geothermal Ventures PGV, completed a refinancing of the cost of its June 2004 acquisition of the Puna geothermal power plant located on the Big Island of Hawaii (the "Puna Project"). The refinancing was concluded with financing parties by means of the lease transactions described below. The proceeds from the refinancing will be used for future capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
Pursuant to a 31-year head lease (the "Head Lease"), PGV leased its geothermal power plant to an unrelated company (the "Lessor") in return for a payment of $71 million (the "Deferred Lease Income"). PGV's rights in the geothermal resource and the related power purchase agreement will not be leased to the Lessor as part of the Head Lease but will be part of the Lessor's security package. PGV simultaneously leased-back the Puna facilities from the Lessor 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 Inc. ("HELCO"). The Head Lease and the Project Lease are non-recourse lease obligations to us.
Both the Head Lease and the Project Lease 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 $4.2 million will be amortized, using the straight-line method, over the 23-year term of the Project Lease. The net annual lease expenses will be $2.6 million (which is net of the $2.3 million annual amortization of the Deferred Lease Income).
A secondary stage of the lease transaction is anticipated to refinance two new geothermal wells that PGV plans to drill during the remainder of 2005 (for production and injection). Upon the completion of the drilling of such wells and meeting certain other operation conditions, the Lessor and PGV will supplement the Head Lease and Project Lease agreements to include the additional wells in a manner similar to the original Head Lease and Project Lease. The total amount to be received is of approximately $11.8 million.
On May 6, 2005, we completed negotiations for two new 25-year power purchase agreements (which were described as being under negotiation with a third party in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended 2004) with Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") for the purchase of energy from each of our Ormesa and Heber Complex projects. Under each agreement, 10 MW of power will be delivered from Ormesa or Heber, as applicable, to SCPPA for a fixed price of $57.50/MWh. This price will escalate annually at a rate of 1.5% and includes the value for the environmental attributes, known as renewable energy credits, which will assist the SCPPA member cities to comply with their respective renewable portfolio standards. In addition, if and when available, 30% of the production tax credits generated from the applicable project will be shared with SCPPA. Deliveries pursuant to the Ormesa power purchase agreement are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2006 and deliveries pursuant to the Heber power purchase agreement are scheduled to begin by the end of 2005. The parties are expected to enter into definitive agreements in the coming weeks.
26
On April 14, 2005, our wholly owned subsidiary, Ormat Nevada, Inc., entered into a letter of intent with a utility company located in the northwest region of the United States regarding the proposed acquisition by the utility of an Ormat REG facility for a purchase price of approximately $13 million. The facility will have a design capacity of 4.95 MW net and will utilize recovered waste heat from gas turbines driving compressors on a major interstate gas pipeline located in Washington State. The utility will also be entitled to elect to enter into an agreement with Ormat Nevada whereby Ormat Nevada would provide all corrective and major maintenance ("extended services agreement") for the facility for a period of not less than five years and not more than ten years. The transaction is subject to the execution of definitive agreements, which the parties are currently negotiating and intend to finalize by September 15, 2005. The expected completion date for the facility would be 22 months from the date of the definitive agreements.
In April 2005, we have waived the receipt of a letter from the Kenyan government that would have supported the payment obligations of Kenya Power & Lighting Co. Ltd. ("KPLC") as a necessary prerequisite for proceeding with Phase II of the Olkaria III project in Kenya and therefore did not provide a notice of cancellation of Phase II KPLC. As a result, we are required to construct Phase II and to reach commercial operations by May 31, 2007, in order to avoid financial penalties, or, by April 17, 2008, at the latest, to avoid termination of the entire power purchase agreement.
On February 14, 2005, two of our subsidiaries entered into a contract for the supply of equipment and construction of a geothermal power plant on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores in the total amount of Euro 19.2 million (approximately $24 million).
Trends and Uncertainties
The geothermal industry in the United States has historically experienced significant growth followed by a consolidation of owners and operators of geothermal power plants. During the 1990s, growth and development in the geothermal industry occurred primarily in foreign markets and only minimal growth and development occurred in the United States. Since 2001, there has been increased demand for energy generated from geothermal resources in the United States as production costs for electricity generated from geothermal resources have become more competitive relative to fossil fuel generation due to increasing natural gas prices and as a result of newly enacted legislative and regulatory incentives, such as state renewable portfolio standards and the Energy Policy Act of 2005. We see the increasing demand for energy generated from geothermal and other renewable resources in the United States and the further introduction of renewable portfolio standards as the most significant trends affecting our industry today and in the immediate future. Our operations and the trends that from time to time impact our operations are subject to market cycles.
Although other trends, factors and uncertainties may impact our operations and financial condition, including many that we do not or cannot foresee, we believe that our results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future will be affected by the following trends, factors and uncertainties:
• | In the United States, we expect to continue to benefit from the increasing demand for renewable energy as a result of favorable legislation adopted by 18 states and the District of Columbia, including California, Nevada and Hawaii (where we have been the most active in our geothermal development and in which all of our U.S. projects are located). In each of these states, relevant legislation currently requires that an increasing percentage of the electricity supplied by electric utility companies operating in such states be derived from renewable energy resources until certain pre-established goals are met. We expect that the additional demand for renewable energy from utilities in such states will create additional opportunities for us to expand existing projects and build new power plants. Outside of the United States, we expect that a variety of governmental initiatives, including the award of long-term contracts to independent power generators, the creation of competitive wholesale markets for selling and trading energy, capacity and related energy products and the adoption of programs designed to encourage "clean" renewable and sustainable energy sources, will create new opportunities for the development of new projects as well as create additional markets for our remote power units and other products. |
27
• | We have identified recovered energy-based power generation as a significant market opportunity for us in the United States and throughout the world. We are initially targeting the North American market thereafter, we intend to leverage our success in that market in order to expand such operations throughout the world. If our expectations regarding the growth in demand for our recovered energy units are not met, we may not be able to generate the revenues we expect from such operations. |
• | We expect the revenues from our Products Segment in 2005 to be similar to the revenue level we achieved in 2004. In pursuing new orders, we participate in tenders for projects and proposals for installations and identify and monitor markets which utilize or plan to utilize geothermal energy and in which geothermal resources are available. Over the long-term, we intend to continue to pursue growth in our recovered energy business, and we expect that the portion of revenues from our recovered energy business as a percentage of the total revenues from our Products Segment will increase. |
• | We expect to continue to generate the majority of our revenues from the sale of electricity from our power plants. All of our current revenues from the sale of electricity are derived from fully-contracted payments under long-term power purchase agreements. |
• | The viability of the geothermal resources utilized by our power plants depends on various factors such as the heat content of the geothermal reservoir, useful life of the reservoir (the term during which such geothermal reservoir has sufficient extractable fluids for our operations) and operational factors relating to the extraction of the geothermal fluids. Our geothermal power plants may experience an unexpected decline in the capacity of their respective geothermal wells. Such factors, together with the possibility that we may fail to find commercially viable geothermal resources in the future, represent significant uncertainties we face in connection with our operations. |
• | Our foreign operations are subject to significant political, economic and financial risks, which vary by country. Such risks include the ongoing privatization of the electricity industry in the Philippines, the partial privatization of the electricity sector in Guatemala, labor unrest and strengthening of unions in Nicaragua and the political uncertainty currently prevailing in Kenya. Although we maintain some political risk insurance as an attempt to mitigate such risks, such insurance does not provide complete coverage with respect to all such risks. |
• | We expect current interest rates to gradually increase in the short-term. Any increases in interest rates that impact our existing financings or future financings could increase the aggregate amount of our interest expenses and thus could have an adverse effect on our results of operations |
• | We have experienced recent increases in the cost of raw materials required for our equipment manufacturing activities, which we believe have resulted primarily from increased demand in the Chinese market for such raw materials, and increases in the cost to transport our products. Additionally, we have experienced an increase in drilling costs and a shortage in drilling equipment, which we believe is the result of the high oil prices resulting in increased drilling activity in the marketplace. We also have experienced an increase in construction costs, particularly in the United States, due to rising prices attendant to a significant increase in activities in the construction industry. An increase in such costs may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. |
• | The United States extended a tax subsidy and increased the amount for companies that use geothermal steam or fluid to generate electricity as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that became law on August 8, 2005. The tax subsidy is a "production tax credit" of 1.9 cents per kWh. It may be claimed on the electricity output of new geothermal power plants put into service during a "window period" that runs from October 23, 2004 through December 31, 2007. The window had been scheduled to close at the end of this year, but the new act extended it. Credit may be claimed for five years on the output from any new geothermal power plants put into service during the first part of the window period, from October 23, |
28
2004 to August 8, 2005. Plants put into service during the remainder of the "window period" qualify for 10 years of tax credits. Production tax credits may significantly improve our financial results. We, as the owner of projects that may be put into service during this window period, must choose between this production tax credit and a 10% investment tax credit. Some of our power purchase agreements allow the power purchaser to benefit from part of such production tax credits, if and when they become available to us. |
• | The Energy Policy Act of 2005, as mentioned above, authorizes FERC to revise PURPA so as to terminate the obligation of electric utilities to enter into new contracts to purchase the output of a Qualifying Facility if FERC finds that there is an accessible competitive market for energy and capacity from the Qualifying Facility. The legislation does not affect existing power purchase agreements. We do not expect this change in law to affect our U.S. projects significantly, as all except one (our Steamboat 1 project, which has a contract with Sierra Pacific Power Co. that expires in 2006) of the contracts are long-term. |
Revenues
We generate our revenues primarily from the sale of electricity from our geothermal power plants, the design, manufacturing and sale of equipment for electricity generation and the construction, installation and engineering of power plant equipment.
Revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment are relatively predictable as they are derived from the sale of electricity from our power plants pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements; however, such revenues are subject to seasonal variations, as more fully described below in the section entitled "Seasonality". Our power purchase agreements generally provide for the payment of capacity payments, energy payments, or both. Generally, capacity payments are payments calculated based on the amount of time that our power plants are available to generate electricity. Some of our power purchase agreements provide for bonus payments in the event that we are able to exceed certain target levels and the potential forfeiture of payments if we fail to meet minimum target levels. Energy payments, on the other hand, are payments calculated based on the amount of electrical energy delivered to the relevant power purchaser at a designated delivery point. The rates applicable to such payments are either fixed (subject, in certain cases, to certain adjustments) or are based on the relevant power purchaser's short run avoided costs (the incremental costs that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others).
As required by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, we assessed all of our power purchase agreements acquired since July 1, 2003, and concluded that all such agreements related to our Heber 1 and 2, Steamboat 2/3, Steamboat Hills, and Puna projects contained a lease element requiring lease accounting. Accordingly, revenues related to the lease element of the agreements are presented as "lease portion of energy and capacity" revenue, with the remaining revenue related to the production and delivery of the energy presented as "energy and capacity" revenue in our consolidated financial statements. As the lease revenue and the energy and capacity revenues are derived from the same arrangement and both fall within our Electricity Segment, we analyze such revenues, and related costs, on a combined basis for management purposes.
Revenues attributable to our Products Segment are generally unpredictable because larger customer orders for our products are typically a result of our participating in, and winning, tenders issued by potential customers in connection with projects they are developing. Such projects often take a long time to design and develop and are often subject to various contingencies such as the customer's ability to raise the necessary financing for a project. As a result, we are generally unable to predict the timing of such orders for our products and may not be able to replace existing orders that we have completed with new ones. As a result, our revenues from our Products Segment fluctuate (and at times, extensively) from period to period.

Geographical Breakdown of Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, 86.9% of our revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment were generated in the United States, as compared to 85.3% for the same period in 2004, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005, 86.5%, as compared to 80.3% for the same period in 2004. The following table sets forth the geographic breakdown of the revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment for the periods indicated:

Historically, revenues attributable to our Products Segment, after giving effect to the elimination of intercompany transactions, have been derived primarily from outside of the United States. Since 2003, we have begun to generate revenues attributable to our Products Segment in the United States as well. However, as a result of the fluctuation and unpredictability of the revenues attributable to our Products Segment and the impact that a few sales or engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") contracts can have on the geographic distribution of such revenues, the geographical distribution of such revenues may not be indicative of any developing trends or of our future results.
Seasonality
The demand for the electricity generated by our domestic projects and the prices paid for such electricity pursuant to our power purchase agreements are subject to seasonal variations. The demand for electricity from the Heber 1 and 2 project, the Mammoth project and the Ormesa project is the highest in the summer months of June through September, because the power purchaser for those projects, Southern California Edison Company, delivers more electricity to its California markets during such period in order to meet demand for air conditioning and other energy-intensive cooling systems utilized during such summer months. The demand for electricity from the Steamboat complex and the Brady project is more balanced, consisting of both summer and winter peaks that reflect the greater temperature variations in Nevada. The demand for electricity from the Puna project is balanced due to the equatorial temperature in Hawaii (with less pronounced temperature variations during the year). In California, the capacity rates payable pursuant to the applicable power purchase agreement are higher in the summer months and as a result we receive higher revenues during such months. In contrast, there are no significant changes in prices during the year payable pursuant to our power purchase agreements for the Puna project and the Nevada projects. In the winter, due principally to the lower ambient temperature, our power plants produce more energy and as a result we receive higher energy revenues. However, the higher capacity payments payable by the power purchaser in California in the summer months as a result of the increase in demand and in prices have a more significant impact on our revenues than that of the higher energy revenues generally generated in winter due to increased efficiency, and as a result our revenues are generally higher in the summer than in the winter.

Breakdown of Expenses
Electricity Segment
The principal expenses attributable to our operating projects include operation and maintenance expenses such as salaries, equipment expenses, costs of parts and chemicals, costs related to third-party services, lease expenses, royalties, startup and auxiliary electricity purchases, property taxes and insurance and, for the California projects, transmission charges, scheduling charges and purchases of sweet water for use in our plant cooling towers. Some of these expenses, such as parts and third-party services, are not incurred on a regular basis, which results in fluctuations in our expenses and our results of operations for individual projects from quarter to quarter.
Payments made to government agencies and private entities as compensation for the use of the relevant geothermal resources and site leases where plants are located are included in cost of revenues.
Royalty payments are payments made as compensation for the right to use certain geothermal resources and are included as a component of operating expenses in cost of revenues, and are paid as a percentage of the revenues derived from the associated geothermal resources. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, royalties were approximately 4% of the electricity revenues.
Products Segment
The principal expenses attributable to our Products Segment include materials, salaries and related employee benefits, expenses related to subcontracting activities, transportation expenses, sales commissions to sales representatives and royalties pertaining to government participation in our research and development programs at a rate of 3.5% to 5.0% of the proceeds recovered from the sale of products which were developed pursuant to such research and development programs.
Some of the principal expenses attributable to our Products Segment, such as a portion of the costs related to labor, utilities and other support services are fixed and, in order to maintain our current production and construction capability, must be incurred, notwithstanding the revenues attributable to our Products Segment. As a result, the cost of revenues attributable to our Products Segment, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, fluctuates. To date, our management has made the strategic decision to maintain our production and construction capacity and, therefore, maintain the fixed cost component of the total costs attributable to our Products Segment at the current level. Another reason for such fluctuation is that in responding to bids for our products, we price our products and services in relation to existing competition and other prevailing market conditions, which may vary substantially from order to order.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2005 decreased to $105.0 million from $125.9 million as of December 31, 2004, principally due to the repayment of long-term debt to our parent and to third parties and the designation to restricted cash of amounts that will be used to maintain debt service reserves and for capital expenditures, offset by an increase of $71.0 million as a result of the refinancing of the Puna project acquisition on May 19, 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies
A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies is included in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" section in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.
New Accounting Pronouncements
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 Payments, which we
31
refer to as SFAS No. 123R and 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 APB Opinion No. 25, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using the grant date fair value based method. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule amending the compliance date for SFAS No. 123R. In accordance with the new rule, the accounting provision of SFAS No. 123R will be applicable to us for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Early adoption of SFAS No. 123R is encouraged. SFAS No. 123R applies to all awards granted or modified after its effective date. In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on the SFAS No. 123R's 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.
We estimate that the cumulative effect of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R as of its effective date (January 1, 2006), based on the awards outstanding as of June 30, 2005, will be immaterial. This estimate does not include the impact of additional awards, which may be granted, or forfeitures, which may occur subsequent to June 30, 2005 and prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 123R. We expect that upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we will apply the modified prospective application transition method, as permitted thereunder. Under such transition method, upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the effective date will not be restated. We do not expect SFAS No. 123R to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position in future periods.
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 and applicable to our fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Earlier application of SFAS No. 151 is permitted. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 shall be applied prospectively. We do not expect SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position in future periods.
Exchange of Non-monetary Assets
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The provisions in SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 (July 1, 2005 for us). Early application of SFAS No. 153 is permitted. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 shall be applied prospectively. We do not expect SFAS No. 153 to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position in future periods.
Accounting for Conditional Retirement Obligations
In March of 2005, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No.143 ("FIN No. 47"), which requires
32
companies to recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset-retirement activities that are conditional on a future event, if the amount can be reasonably estimated. FIN No. 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for us). Retrospective application for interim financial information is permitted but is not required. Early adoption of FIN No. 47 is encouraged. We not expect FIN No. 47 to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position in future periods.
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 us). We do not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position in future periods.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 and the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
Total Revenues
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $55.7 million, as compared with $52.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 7.0% increase in total revenues. This increase is primarily attributable to our Electricity Segment whose revenues increased by 14.6% over the same period in 2004. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 11.2% in our Product Segment revenues from the same period in 2004.

Revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $42.1 million, as compared with $36.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 14.6% increase in such revenues. This increase is primarily attributable to additional revenues being generated from the Steamboat Hills project, which we acquired on May 20, 2004, and the Puna project, which we acquired on June 3, 2004. The decrease in revenues from Other Projects is primarily due to a lower availability of the Ormesa well field as described under "Total Cost of Revenues — Electricity Segment".
Products Segment
Revenues attributable to our Products Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $13.6 million, as compared with $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 11.2% decrease in such revenues. This decrease of $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005 is principally attributable to the usual quarterly fluctuations in the revenues generated from our Products Segment.
Total Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $38.9 million, as compared with $33.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 17.9% increase in total cost of revenues. As a percentage of total revenues, our total cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and the three months ended June 30, 2004 were 69.8% and 63.4%, respectively. The increase is principally attributable to increased costs in our Electricity Segment during the second quarter of 2005.
Electricity Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $27.5 million, as compared with $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 29.6% increase in total cost of revenues for such segment. This increase is primarily due to costs of $0.7 million and $3.6 million attributable to the Steamboat Hills project (which was acquired on May 20, 2004) and the Puna project ( which was acquired on June 3, 2004), respectively, for the second quarter of 2005 as compared with $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2004. The remainder of the increase is mainly due to a significant increase in the geothermal field costs within the Ormesa project due to a higher-than-average rate of failure of production pumps and wells. This failure required us to replace a relatively large number of pumps during the quarter and to abandon one production well. As a percentage of total electricity revenues, the total cost of revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 (65.3%) was higher than the percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2004 (57.7%). Such 7.6% increase is primarily due to the increased costs in the Ormesa project as described above. It should be noted that the Puna project incurred additional costs of $0.3 million in the period from May 19, 2005 to June 30, 2005 in the form of net lease payments pursuant to the operating lease transaction described under "Recent Developments". The net quarterly lease expenses going forward are expected to be $0.7 million.
36
Products Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Products Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $11.4 million, as compared with $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 3.1% decrease in total cost of revenues related to such segment. Such $0.4 million decrease in total cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 reflects a decrease in production volume, as compared with the corresponding period in 2004. As a percentage of total products revenues, our total cost of revenues attributable to our Products Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 83.8% compared with 76.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Such 6.9% increase was primarily attributable to an 11.2% decrease in our Product Segment revenues while the fixed portion of our cost of product revenues, such as salaries, depreciation, expenses related to maintaining operations, utilities and property expenses, remained constant.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $0.7 million, as compared with $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 20.7% decrease in research and development expenses. Such decrease was in the ordinary course of our operations and does not represent any significant change in our research and development program or our ability to maintain and continue to develop our technologies and operations and reflects fluctuations in the period in which actual expenses were incurred.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $1.7 million, as compared with $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 21.1% decrease in selling and marketing expenses due to the timing of incurring such expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 constituted 3.0% of total revenues for such period, as compared with 4.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Such decrease is principally attributable to a decrease in commissions and delivery costs relating to the Products Segment and the fixed cost nature of certain of our selling and marketing expenses against a larger total revenue base.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $ 3.0 million, as compared with $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 3.0% increase in general and administrative expenses. Such increase was principally attributable to the increased administrative expenses associated with being a public company whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 decreased slightly to 5.3% of total revenues for such period, from 5.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $9.5 million, as compared with $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 13.2% decrease in such interest expense. The main reasons for such decrease are: (i) interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 included $0.9 million related to the decrease in the fair value of the interest rate caps in respect of the Beal Bank financing; beginning in October 2004, the caps qualified for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, and as such we have recorded the decrease in the value of the caps in respect of such transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2005 in the amount of $0.6 million in other comprehensive income. (ii) a decrease in interest expenses of $0.4 million as a result of the repayment of the Ormesa loan which was repaid on December 31, 2004, and (iii) $1.1 million interest capitalized to projects under construction as compared with only $0.4 million in the same period last year. Such decrease was offset by an increase of $0.4 million in the applicable LIBOR rate for the Beal Bank financing.
37
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 were 36.6% and 18.9%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was lower in the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005 as a result of application of investment tax credits.
Equity in Income of Investees
Our participation in the income generated from our investees for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $2.1 million, as compared with $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Such increase was principally attributable to an increase of $0.4 million in income generated in connection with our 80% equity interest in the Leyte project and our collection of an insurance claim in relation to the project in the second quarter of 2005.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $4.1 million, as compared with $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 15.6% increase in such net income. Net income as a percentage of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 7.3%, as compared with 6.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Such increase in net income was principally attributable to: (i) a decrease in our net interest expense of $2.5 million, (ii) an increase of $0.6 million in equity in income of investees, and (iii) a $0.5 million decrease in operating expenses, offset by a $2.3 million decrease in gross margin and a $0.7 million increase in our income tax provision.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Total Revenues
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $109.6 million, as compared with $99.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 10.0% increase in total revenues. This increase is primarily attributable to our Electricity Segment whose revenues increase by 17.6% over the same period in 2004. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 8.2% in our Product Segment revenues as compared to the same period in 2004.

Revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $82.6 million, as compared with $70.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 17.6% increase in such revenues. This increase is primarily attributable to additional revenues being generated from the Steamboat 2/3 project, which we acquired on February 11, 2004, the Steamboat Hills project, which we acquired on May 20, 2004, and the Puna project, which we acquired on June 3, 2004. The decrease in revenues from Other Projects is primarily due to deconsolidation of the Leyte project as of April 1, 2004, which represented $3.1 million of our revenues in the second quarter of 2004, and the lower availability of the well field in the Ormesa project, as described above.
38
Products Segment
Revenues attributable to our Products Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $27.1 million, as compared with $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented an 8.2% decrease in such revenues. This decrease of $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 is principally attributable to the usual quarterly fluctuations in the revenues generated from our Products Segment.
Total Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $73.2 million, as compared with $63.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 14.9% increase in total cost of revenues. As a percentage of total revenues, our total cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2004 were 66.8% and 63.9%, respectively. The increase is principally attributable to increased costs in our Electricity Segment during the first half of 2005.
Electricity Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $51.1 million, as compared with $40.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 25.9% increase in total cost of revenues for such segment. This increase is primarily due to costs of $4.0 million, $1.4 million and $6.6 million attributable to the Steamboat 2/3 project (which was acquired on February 11, 2004), the Steamboat Hills project (which was acquired on May 20, 2004) and the Puna project (which was acquired on June 3, 2004), respectively, for the first half of 2005 as compared with $2.8 million, $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the first half of 2004. The remainder of the increase is mainly due to the increased costs within the Ormesa project, as described above. As a percentage of total electricity revenues, the total cost of revenues attributable to our Electricity Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 (61.9%) was higher than the percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2004 (57.8%). Such increase is primarily due to the deconsolidation of the Leyte project as of April 1, 2004, whose total cost of revenues as a percentage of the project's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 46.3%, which is lower than the average cost of revenues for this segment, as well as the increased costs in the Ormesa project. It should be noted that the Puna project incurred additional costs of $0.3 million in the period from May 19, 2005 to June 30, 2005 in the form of net lease payments pursuant to the operating lease transaction described under "Recent Developments". The net semi-annual lease expenses going forward are expected to be $1.3 million.
Products Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Products Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $22.1 million, as compared with $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 4.4% decrease in total cost of revenues related to such segment. Such $1.0 million decrease in total cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 reflects a decrease in production volume, as compared with the corresponding period in 2004. As a percentage of total products revenues, our total cost of revenues attributable to our Products Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 81.7% and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 78.4%. Such increase was primarily attributable to an 8.2% decrease in our Products Segment revenues while the fixed portion of our cost of product revenues, such as salaries, depreciation, expenses related to maintaining operations, utilities and property expenses, remained constant.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $1.1 million, as compared with $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 9.0% decrease in research and development expenses. Such decrease was in the ordinary course of our
39
operations and does not represent any significant change in our research and development program or our ability to maintain and continue to develop our technologies and operations and reflects fluctuations in the period in which actual expenses were incurred.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased by $0.1 million, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 2.2% decrease in selling and marketing expenses due to the timing of incurring such expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 constituted 3.5% of total revenues for such period, as compared with 4.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Such decrease is principally attributable to the fixed cost nature of certain of our selling and marketing expenses against a larger total revenue base.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $6.6 million, as compared with $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 26.5% increase in general and administrative expenses. Such increase was principally attributable to an increase in professional services fees, additional personnel expenses and other administrative expenses, all as a result of being a public company whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 constituted 6.0% of total revenues for such period, as compared with 5.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. In addition, the general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2004 did not fully reflect the increase in such expenses that was required as a result of the increased activity that occurred in connection with the acquisitions made in 2004.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $19.8 million, as compared with $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 1.7% increase in such interest expense. The net increase of $0.3 million resulted from the following: (i) a $0.8 million increase in the applicable LIBOR rate for the Beal Bank financing, (ii) a $1.9 million interest expense incurred in connection with the issuance by Ormat Funding, on February 13, 2004, of $190.0 million of Senior Secured Notes and (iii) a $0.7 million increase in interest payments to our parent. Such increases were offset by: (i) interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 included $0.9 million related to the decrease in the fair value of the interest rate caps in respect of the Beal Bank financing; beginning in October 2004 the caps qualified for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, and as such we have recorded the decrease in the value of the caps in respect of such transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2005 in the amount of $0.8 million in other comprehensive income. (ii) a decrease in interest expenses of $0.7 million as a result of the repayment of the Ormesa loan which was repaid on December 31, 2004. (iii) $1.8 million interest capitalized to projects under construction as compared with only $0.4 million in the same period last year, and (iv) the elimination of interest expenses of the Leyte loan in the amount of $0.3 million as a result of the deconsolidation of the Leyte project in April 1, 2004 (as a result of the application of FIN No. 46R).
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $2.6 million, as compared with $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represents a 34.6% increase in such income taxes. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 were 37.6% and 31.0%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was lower in the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2005 as a result of application of investment tax credits.
Equity in Income of Investees
Our participation in the income generated from our investees for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $3.6 million, as compared with $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Such
40
increase was principally attributable to the income generated in connection with our 80% equity interest in the Leyte project, which was deconsolidated as of April 1, 2004 (as a result of the application of FIN No. 46R), which accounted for $0.9 million, and our collection of an insurance claim in that project in the second quarter of 2005.
Net Income
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $8.0 million, as compared with $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which represented a 27.4% increase in such net income. Net income as a percentage of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 7.3%, as compared with 6.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Such increase in percentage was principally attributable to: (i) an increase of $1.6 million in equity in income of investees, (ii) a decrease in our net interest expense of $1.5 million, and (iii) a $0.4 million increase in gross margin, offset by a $1.2 million increase in operating expenses and a $0.7 million increase in our income tax provision.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been cash from operations, proceeds from parent company loans, third party debt in the form of borrowing under credit facilities, issuance by Ormat Funding of its Senior Secured Notes, project financing, and the issuance of shares of common stock on the public markets. We have utilized this cash to fund our acquisitions, develop and construct power generation plants and meet our other cash and liquidity needs. Our management believes that the outstanding cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash generated from our operations will address our liquidity and other investment requirements.
Loan Agreements with our Parent
In 2003, we entered into a loan agreement with Ormat Industries Ltd. (the parent company), which was further amended on September 20, 2004. Pursuant to this loan agreement, Ormat Industries agreed to make a loan to us in one or more advances not exceeding a total aggregate amount of $150 million. The proceeds of the loan are to be used to fund our general corporate activities and investments. We are required to repay the loan and accrued interest in full and in accordance with an agreed-upon repayment schedule and in any event on or prior to June 5, 2010. Interest on the loan is calculated on the balance from the date of the receipt of each advance until the date of payment thereof at a rate per annum equal to Ormat Industries' average effective cost of funds plus 0.3% percent in dollars, which represented a rate of 7.5% for the advances made during 2003. All computations of interest shall be made by Ormat Industries on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. As of June 30, 2005, the outstanding balance of the loan was approximately $ 136.2 million compared to $143.2 million as of December 31, 2004.
In addition to the above loan, pursuant to the terms of a capital note, as further amended on September 20, 2004, Ormat Industries converted outstanding balances owed by us to Ormat Industries into a subordinated non-interest bearing loan in an amount equal to New Israeli Shekels (NIS) 240.0 million. At any time after November 30, 2007 upon demand by Ormat Industries, we will be required to repay the loan in full. The final maturity of the loan is December 30, 2009. In accordance with the terms of such note, we will not be required to repay any amount in excess of $50.7 million (using the exchange rate existing on the date of such note).
Third Party Debt
Our third party debt is composed of two principal categories. The first category consists of project finance debt or acquisition financing that we or our subsidiaries have incurred for the purpose of developing and constructing, refinancing or acquiring our various projects. The second category consists of debt incurred by us or our subsidiaries for general corporate purposes.
Limited and Non Recourse Debt
OrCal Geothermal, one of our subsidiaries, entered into a non-recourse project finance loan from Beal Bank for the purpose of financing the acquisition of the Heber 1 and 2 projects and our 50%
41
ownership interest in the Mammoth project, of which $148.3 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2005, bearing an interest rate of the greater of 7.125% or LIBOR plus 5.125% per annum. The Bank Hapoalim project finance debt, of which $15.6 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2005, bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.375% per annum on tranche one of the loan and LIBOR plus 3.0% per annum on tranche two of the loan, and the Export-Import Bank of the United States project finance debt, of which $11.4 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2005, bearing an interest rate of 6.54% per annum, were entered into by our relevant subsidiaries to finance the Momotombo project and the Leyte project (which was deconsolidated as of April 1, 2004), respectively.
Senior Secured Notes – Non Recourse
On February 13, 2004, Ormat Funding, one of our subsidiaries, issued 8¼% Senior Secured Notes in a capital markets offering subject to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the purpose of refinancing the acquisition cost of the Brady, Ormesa and Steamboat 1/1A projects, and the financing of the acquisition cost of the Steamboat 2/3 project, of which $186.5 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2005. The Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of Ormat Funding and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of Ormat Funding, and (with certain exceptions) by all real property, contractual rights, revenues and bank accounts, intercompany notes, certain insurance policies and guarantees of Ormat Funding and its subsidiaries.
There are various restrictive covenants under the Senior Secured Notes, which include limitations on additional indebtedness and payment of dividends.
A registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Senior Secured Notes was filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2005. On March 16, 2005, we exchanged these unregistered notes for Senior Secured Notes with substantially identical terms that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of the date of this report, there are $186.5 million of Senior Secured Notes outstanding.
New financing of our projects
Financing of the Amatitlan Project
We currently intend to finance the construction cost of the Amatitlan project by the end of 2005. In connection with such financing, we are in discussions with a local bank in Guatemala to obtain a 10-year construction and term loan in an amount of approximately $41 million.
Financing of Phase II of Olkaria III Project
We are currently negotiating the financing of Phase II of Olkaria III project. In connection with such financing we signed a mandate letter with a financial institution to arrange a long term-loan.
Full Recourse Debt
Our full recourse third party debt includes the following loans: (i) a $20.0 million credit facility from United Mizrahi Bank, of which we repaid the outstanding balance of $20.0 million on February 10, 2005; the full amount of the line of credit remains available through December 31, 2005 and is guaranteed by our parent. (ii) A medium term loan from Israel's Industrial Development Bank, the $3.3 million outstanding balance of which was fully repaid on March 10, 2005, and (iii) a medium term loan from Bank Hapoalim, of which $3.0 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2005, bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.7% per annum.
In connection with our acquisition through Ormat Systems Ltd. of the power generation business from our parent, we entered into certain agreements of which only those with each of Bank Hapoalim, Bank Leumi and United Mizrahi Bank remain. Under these agreements, in exchange for such banks' release of our parent's guarantee (which has not yet been finalized for United Mizrahi
42
Bank) and a release of their security interest over the assets of our subsidiary, Ormat Systems, we and Ormat Systems have agreed to certain negative covenants, including, but not limited to, a prohibition on: (i) creating any floating charge or any permanent pledge, charge or lien over our assets without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender, (ii) guaranteeing the liabilities of any third party without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender, and (iii) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or disposing of all or substantially all of our assets. In some cases, we and Ormat Systems have agreed to maintain certain financial ratios such as a debt service coverage ratio and a debt to equity ratio. We do not expect that these covenants or ratios, which apply to us on a consolidated basis, will materially limit our ability to execute our future business plans or our operations. The failure to perform or observe any of the covenants set forth in such agreements, subject to various cure periods, would result in the occurrence of an event of default and would enable the lenders to accelerate all amounts due under each such agreement.
We do not expect that any third party debt that we, or any of our subsidiaries, will incur in the future will be guaranteed by our parent.
Some of the agreements to which we or our subsidiaries are a party contain cross-default provisions with respect to other material indebtedness owed by us or them to any third party.
Our management believes that we are currently in compliance with our covenants with respect to our third-party debt.
Letters of Credit
From time to time, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim have issued, as security for certain of our obligations, performance letters of credit in favor of our customers. In some cases, our parent is the obligor in respect of any reimbursement obligations to the bank with respect to such letters of credit. Pursuant to certain existing agreements with our parent described elsewhere in this quarterly report, we are required to pay to our parent a fee with respect to such letters of credit and we are responsible to reimburse our parent for any draw or payment made under these letters of credit. As of June 30, 2005, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim have agreed to make available to us letters of credit in the amount of $20.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively. As of such date, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim have issued letters of credit in the amount of $15.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Accordingly, a further $4.5 million and $1.2 million remain available under the arrangement with Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim, respectively.
Our subsidiary, Ormat Nevada, has also entered into a letter of credit agreement with Hudson United Bank, which is described in further detail under Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" below.
Refinancing of the Puna Project
On May 19, 2005, our subsidiary in Hawaii, PGV, completed a refinancing of the cost of its June 2004 acquisition of the Puna project geothermal power plant located on the Big Island of Hawaii. The refinancing was concluded with financing parties by means of a leveraged lease transaction as described under "Recent developments". The proceeds from the refinancing will be used for future capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
Pursuant to a 31-year head lease, PGV leased its geothermal power plant to an unrelated company in return for a prepaid lease payment in the amount of $71 million. Deferred transaction costs amounted to $4.2 million.
Dividend
In accordance with our dividend policy, prior to our initial public offering we declared an interim dividend of $2.5 million ($0.1025 per share) for 2004 to our parent company, Ormat Industries, which was paid on March 2, 2005. In accordance with such dividend policy, on March 22, 2005, we declared, approved and authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $947,000 ($0.03 per share), which was paid on April 18, 2005. On May 10, 2005, we declared, approved and authorized payment of a
43
quarterly dividend of $947,000 ($0.03 per share) to all holders of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on May 23, 2005, which was paid on June 6, 2005. On August 11, 2005, we declared, approved and authorized payment of a quarterly dividend of $947,000 ($0.03 per share) to all holders of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on August 22, 2005, payable on September 1, 2005. We expect to pay a similar dividend for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2005.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $102.9 million(a) as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Such net increase of $80.2 million(b) resulted primarily from the following: (i) prepaid lease payment of $78.6 million(c) pursuant to the leveraged lease transaction (less $3.3 million(c) deferred costs related to such lease transaction), (ii) an increase of $7.2 million(d) in accounts payable and accrued expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared with an increase of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to the increase of our activities relating mainly to projects under construction for third parties, (iii) an increase of $4.0 million in depreciation and amortization to $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of the acquisitions of the Steamboat 2/3 project, the Steamboat Hills project and the Puna project, and (iv) an increase of $8.8 million in accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2005 due to increased revenues in the Electricity Segment, as compared to an increase of $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $36.9 million, as compared with $233.1 million used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The principal factor that affected our cash flow used in investing activities during the first half of 2005 was capital expenditures of $48.8 million primarily for our power facilities under construction. Such cash used in investing activities was offset by a decrease of $31.5 million in marketable securities of which $20.8 million was allocated to restricted cash. The cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 primarily included $174.3 million of cash used for the acquisition of the Steamboat 2/3, Steamboat Hills and Puna projects. In addition our restricted cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased by $50.7 million resulting primarily

from the issuance by Ormat Funding of $190.0 million of its 8 1/4% Senior Secured Notes. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of such Senior Secured Notes was escrowed and reserved for additional investments in the Galena project and to repay the loan from United Capital to fund the acquisition of the Ormesa project.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $55.5 million(e) as compared with $222.8 million provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The principal factors that affected the cash flow used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2005 were the repayment of short-term and long-term debt in the amount of $31.1 million, repayment of debt to our parent in the amount of $19.6 million, and the payment of a dividend to our shareholders in the amount of $4.4 million. The principal factors that affected the cash flow provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were the $190.0 million in proceeds (less $8.9 million in debt issuance costs) from the issuance of Ormat Funding 81/4% Senior Secured Notes, which were used to finance the acquisition of the Steamboat 2/3 project and to refinance the acquisition of the Ormesa, Brady, Mammoth and Steamboat 1/A projects.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures primarily relate to two principal components: the enhancement of our existing power plants and the development of new power plants. In addition, we have budgeted approximately $5.0 million for 2005 and 2006 for buildings and for the acquisition of machinery and equipment.
To the extent not otherwise described below, we expect that the following enhancements of our existing power plants will be funded from internally generated cash or other available corporate resources, which we expect to subsequently refinance with non or limited recourse debt at the project level. Initially, we intend to fund the construction projects described below from internally generated cash or other available corporate resources. We currently do not contemplate obtaining any new loans from our parent company.
Mammoth Project. We commenced drilling activities at the Mammoth project under an approximately $8.3 million enhancement program ($4.15 million to be funded by us), which we believe will result in an increase in the output of the project by 4 MW. Such enhancement program is expected to be completed in 2006. A substantial portion of the funds required for such enhancement have been earmarked from the project's funds by us and our partners.
Heber Complex. In connection with the Heber 1 and 2 projects and the Goulds Plant, we are currently pursuing a program consisting of geothermal field optimization, the drilling of an additional well and the addition of Ormat Energy Converter (OEC") units at the Heber projects in order to increase the generating capacity of the Heber 1 and 2 projects by an estimated 18 MW, for an estimated total budgeted investment of approximately $30.5 million. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $20.7 million in costs had been incurred related to the Heber project. On May 6, 2005, we completed negotiations and we expect to enter into a definitive agreement in the coming few weeks for a new 25-year power purchase agreement with SCPPA for the purchase of 10 MW of energy for a fixed price of $57.50/MWh which will escalate annually at a rate of 1.5%. Delivery of energy under this power purchase agreement is scheduled to begin at the end of 2005. Equipment manufacturing is in progress, the well drilling is almost completed and site construction has recently started.
Puna Project. In connection with the Puna project, we are currently pursuing an approximately $19.0 million enhancement program which is designed to increase the output of the project by an estimated 5 MW and to improve its reliability. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $4.8 million in costs had been incurred related to the enhancement project. On June 30, we completed the re-drilling of an existing well, which increased the output by approximately 4 MW and we started the drilling of a new
(e) | The amount has been corrected from $12.2 million, net cash provided by financing activities to $55.5 million, net cash used in financing activities due to a classification error. |
45
well. We expect that such enhancement program will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2005. Currently the project sells approximately 29 MW during peak hours and has a contractual commitment to sell 22 MW during off-peak hours.
Ormesa Project. In connection with the Ormesa project, we have drilled two additional wells, plan to add additional OEC units and replace existing units in order to increase the output of the project by an estimated 10 MW. We estimate that the costs of such enhancements will be up to $36.0 million. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $4.3 million in costs had been incurred related to the enhancement project. On May 6, 2005, we completed negotiations and we expect to enter into definitive agreement in the coming few weeks for a new 25-year power purchase agreement with SCPPA for the purchase of 10 MW of energy for a fixed price $57.50/MWh which will escalate annually at a rate of 1.5%. Delivery of energy under this power purchase agreement is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Galena Project. We commenced construction of the Galena project during the third quarter of 2004, started site construction in the first quarter of 2005 and expect to complete construction and commence commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2005. Construction costs of $25.4 million are being funded from the proceeds of Ormat Funding's offering of Senior Secured Notes, $8.9 million of which is currently deposited in an escrow account, and will be released in accordance with the progress of the construction phase for such enhancement. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $16.4 million in costs had been incurred related to the Galena project. Based on the final design of the project, we plan to increase the Steamboat complex output by 13 MW.
Desert Peak 2 Project. In connection with the Desert Peak 2 project, we have already drilled the necessary production wells and we began the manufacturing and construction of the associated power plant, which is expected to be completed at the end of 2005 or the first quarter of 2006. The total construction cost for the construction of the 15 MW power plant is estimated to be $35.0 million. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $18.1 million in costs had been incurred related to the Desert Peak 2 project.
Galena 2 Project (formerly Desert Peak 3 Project). In connection with the Galena 2 project, we plan to construct a power plant in the Steamboat complex, which will supply electricity under the Galena 2 power purchase agreement. We commenced drilling of the wells. The total construction cost for the construction of the 10 MW power plant is estimated to be $22.0 million. We estimate that the construction of the Galena 2 project will be performed during 2005 and 2006.
Amatitlan Project. The Amatitlan project is scheduled to be completed in 2006 at an aggregate construction cost for the 20 MW plant of approximately $32.5 million. We commenced construction of the plant and as of June 30, 2005, approximately $6.8 million in costs had been incurred related to the Amatitlan project. The municipal local authorities have claimed that a construction license is required for the project while our local counsel has advised us that no such license is required under the applicable laws and regulations. We are simultaneously proceeding to challenge the claim of the local municipal authorities and to obtain the construction license.
OREG 1 Project. The recovered energy project is scheduled to be completed in 2006 at an aggregate construction cost for the 22 MW plant of approximately $35.0 million. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $5.1 million in costs had been incurred related to this project.
Phase II of Olkaria III Project. In connection with Phase II of Olkaria III project, we have completed the drilling of the wells and are currently producing a conceptual design of the power plant. We expect the construction costs of the 35 MW power plant to range somewhere between $60 and $80 million.
In addition to the above projects we plan to start the construction and enhancement of additional projects in a total amount of approximately $10.0 million.
Other than the enhancements and new projects described above, and a possible further enhancement to the Ormesa project which is in the early stages of conceptual design, we do not anticipate any other material capital expenditures in the near term for any of our operating projects, other than ordinary maintenance requirements, which we typically fund with internally generated cash.

Exposure to Market Risks
One market risk to which power plants are typically exposed is the volatility of electricity prices. Our exposure to such market risk is limited currently because our long-term power purchase agreements have fixed or escalating rate provisions that limit our exposure to changes in electricity prices. However, beginning in May 2007, the energy payments under the power purchase agreements for the Heber 1 and 2 projects, the Ormesa project and the Mammoth project will be determined by reference to the relevant power purchaser's short run avoided costs. The Puna project is currently benefiting from energy prices which are higher than the floor under the Puna power purchase agreement, as a result of the high fuel costs that impact Hawaii Electric Light Company's avoided costs. In addition, under certain of the power purchase agreements for our projects in Nevada, the price that Sierra Pacific Power Company pays for energy and capacity is based upon its short run avoided costs. We estimate that energy payments will represent approximately two-thirds of those projects' revenues after 2007 and as a result, expect that there will be some volatility in the revenues received from such projects.
As of June 30, 2005, 52.8% of our consolidated long-term debt (excluding amounts owed to our parent) was in the form of fixed rate securities and therefore not subject to interest rate volatility risk. As of such date, 47.2% of our debt was in the form of a floating rate instrument, exposing us to changes in interest rates in connection therewith. In order to mitigate such risks, we have acquired an interest rate cap of 6.0% with respect to the LIBOR component of the interest rate applicable to the Beal Bank loan from 2007 to 2011. We do not expect that a 300 basis point increase or decrease from current interest rates would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, but will have an effect on our results of operations and cash flows. As of June 30, 2005, $303.1 million of our debt, including $136.2 million owed to our parent, remained subject to some floating rate risk. As such, we are exposed to changes in interest rates with respect to our long-term obligations. The detrimental effect on our pre-tax earnings of a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates would be approximately $1.5 million. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above for further discussion of our debt instruments.
In anticipation of the refinancing of the acquisition cost of our Puna project, on February 25, 2005, we entered into a rate lock agreement with Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. at a locked-in treasury rate of 4.31%, with a notional amount of $52.0 million, which was 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, we received from the counterparty to the rate lock agreement the amount of $658,000. This amount net of related taxes of $250,000 is recorded in our financial statements as "Gain in respect of derivative instruments designated for cash flow hedge, net of related taxes" under "Other comprehensive income (loss)" and will be amortized over the 23-year term of the Project Lease.
On April 20, 2005, we entered into a new rate lock agreement with the abovementioned 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. On May 18, 2005, we paid the counterparty to the rate lock agreement the amount of $762,000. This amount net of related taxes of $290,000 is recorded in our financial statements as a "Loss in respect of derivative instruments designated for cash flow hedge, net of related taxes" under "Other comprehensive income (loss)" and will be amortized over the 23-year term of the Project Lease.
Another market risk to which we are exposed is primarily related to potential adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, in particular the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the new Israeli shekel. Risks attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates can arise when any of our foreign subsidiaries borrows funds or incurs operating or other expenses in one type of currency but receives revenues in another. In such cases, an adverse change in exchange rates can reduce such subsidiary's ability to meet its debt service obligations, reduce the amount of cash and income we receive from such foreign subsidiary or increase such subsidiary's overall expenses. Risks attributable to fluctuations
47
in foreign currency exchange rates can arise when the currency-denomination of a particular contract is not the U.S. dollar. All of our power purchase agreements in the international markets are either U.S. dollar-denominated or linked to the U.S. dollar. Our construction contacts from time to time contemplate costs which are incurred in local currencies. For example, in February 2005 we signed a contract in the amount of approximately $24 million for construction of a power plant which is denominated in Euros. A substantial portion of such contract will be matched by costs denominated in Euros. The way we often mitigate such risk is to receive part of the proceeds from the sale contract in the currency in which the expenses are incurred. Currently, we have not used any material foreign currency exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to this risk. In the future, we may use such foreign currency exchange contracts and other derivative instruments to reduce our foreign currency exposure to the extent we deem such instruments to be the appropriate tool for managing such exposure. We do not believe that our exchange rate exposure has or will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We currently maintain our surplus cash in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits and Preferred Auctioned Rate Securities, which we refer to as PARS (deposits of entities with a minimum investment grade rating of AA (by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services)).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
On June 30, 2004, our subsidiary, Ormat Nevada, entered into a Letter of Credit Agreement with Hudson United Bank, pursuant to which Hudson United Bank agreed to issue one or more letters of credit in an aggregate face amount of up to $15.0 million. As of the date hereof, two letters of credit have been issued pursuant to this facility. The first was issued in favor of the trustee for the 8¼% Senior Secured Notes, for a face amount of $8.1 million, which was increased by an additional amount of $2.7 million on December 30, 2004. The second was issued in favor of Beal Bank, for a face amount of $3.6 million. Such letters of credit have been issued to substitute for current cash balances in respective reserve accounts. The unrestricted cash resulting from this exchange was used for working capital and reductions of outstanding bank debt. As of June 30, 2005, such letters of credit have not been renewed by us. Under this Letter of Credit Agreement, in the event that the bank is required to pay on a letter of credit drawn by the beneficiary thereof, such letter of credit converts to a loan, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 4.0%, and matures on the next expiration date of the Letter of Credit Agreement. There are various restrictive covenants under the Letter of Credit Agreement, which include maintaining certain levels of tangible net worth, leverage ratio, and minimum coverage ratio. Our management believes that we are currently in compliance with our covenants.
On July 15, 2004, we entered into a reimbursement agreement with Ormat Industries, pursuant to which we agreed to reimburse Ormat Industries for any draws made on any standby letter of credit under which Ormat Industries is obligor and which is subject to the guarantee fee agreement between us and Ormat Industries. Interest on any amounts owing pursuant to the reimbursement agreement is paid in U.S. dollars at a rate per annum equal to Ormat Industries' average effective cost of funds plus 0.3%, which currently amounts to 7.5%.
Some of our customers require our project subsidiaries to post letters of credit in order to guarantee their respective performance under relevant contracts. We are also required to post letters of credit to secure our obligations under various leases and licenses and may, from time to time, decide to post letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits in reserve accounts under certain financing arrangements. In addition, our subsidiary, Ormat Systems, is required from time to time to post performance letters of credit in favor of our customers with respect to orders of products.
Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim have issued such performance letters of credit in favor of our customers from time to time. Initially, our parent, Ormat Industries, was the obligor in respect of any reimbursement obligations on such letters of credit and we paid our parent a guarantee fee and were responsible to reimburse our parent for any draw under these letters of credit. In connection with the acquisition of the power generation business by Ormat Systems from our parent, we have assumed such letters of credit and are now the direct obligor of Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim on most of such letters of credit. As of June 30, 2005, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim have agreed to make
48
available to us letters of credit totaling $20.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively. As of such date, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim have issued letters of credit in the amount of $15.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Out of these amounts, letters of credits totaling $7.1 million and $1.7 million from Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim, respectively, have been obtained by our parent and issued on our behalf.
As of the date hereof, we have not had a draw presented against any letter of credit issued or provided on our behalf.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our credit risk is currently concentrated with a limited number of major customers: Sierra Pacific Power Company, Southern California Edison Company, Hawaii Electric Light Company, PNOC-Energy Development Corporation, The Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited and two electric distribution companies which are assignees of Empresa Nicaraguense de Electricidad. If any of these electric utilities fails to make payments under its power purchase agreements with us, such failure would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition.
Southern California Edison Company accounted for 38.8% and 42.4% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 36.2% and 41.6% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Southern California Edison Company is also the power purchaser and revenue source for our Mammoth project, which we account for separately under the equity method of accounting.
Sierra Pacific Power Company accounted for 14.1% and 14.3% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 15.5% and 13.1% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Following the acquisition of the Puna project in June 2004, Hawaii Electric Light Company became one of our key customers, accounting for 12.7% and 13.5% of our total revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively.
PNOC-Energy Development Corporation accounted for 3.1% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The results of operations of the Leyte project which sells electricity to PNOC were deconsolidated as of April 1, 2004.
The two electric distribution companies which are assignees of Empresa Nicaraguense de Electricidad accounted for 5.2% and 5.7% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 5.5% and 6.0% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Kenya Power & Lighting Co. Ltd. accounted for 4.6% and 4.6% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 4.7% and 4.8% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Government Grants and Tax Benefits
Our subsidiary, Ormat Systems, has received "Approved Enterprise" status under Israel's Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, with respect to two of its investment programs. One such approval was received in 1996 and the other was received in May 2004. As an Approved Enterprise, our subsidiary is exempt from Israeli income taxes with respect to income derived from the approved investment program for a period of two years commencing on the year it first generates profits from the approved investment program, and thereafter such income is subject to reduced Israeli income tax rates of 25% for an additional five years. These benefits are subject to certain conditions set forth in the certificate of approval from Israel's Investment Center that include, among other things, a requirement that Ormat Systems comply with Israeli intellectual property law, that all transactions between Ormat Systems and our affiliates be at arms length, and that there will be no change in control of, on a cumulative basis, more than 49% of Ormat Systems' capital stock (including by way of a public offering) without the prior written approval of the Investment Center.
Prior to 2003, our research and development efforts were partially funded through grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. We currently
49
have no such grants available or outstanding. Under Israeli law, we are required to pay royalties to the Israeli government based on revenues derived from the sale of products developed with the assistance of such grants. The applicable royalty rate is between of 3.5% to 5.0%, and the amount of royalties required to be paid are capped at the amount of the grants received (in U.S. dollars). The outstanding balance of grants provided after January 1, 1999 accrue interest at a rate equal to the 12-month LIBOR, as published on the first day of the calendar year in which the particular grant was approved. Because the royalties are payable only from revenues, if any, derived from the relevant products, we only recognize a royalty expense to the government upon delivery of the product to our customers.
Risk Factors
A comprehensive discussion of our risk factors is included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We incorporate by reference the information appearing under "Exposure to Market Risks" and "Concentration of Credit Risk" in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q/A.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Management had previously concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005. However, in connection with the restatement of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended, as fully described in Note 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, management determined that the material weakness described below existed as of June 30, 2005. Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have now concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were not effective as of June 30, 2005 at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A was recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified within the SEC's rules and instructions for Form 10-Q and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Notwithstanding the material weakness described below, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of June 30, 2005, the Company did not maintain effective controls over the preparation, review, presentation and disclosure of the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Specifically, the Company lacked effective controls to ensure that cash flows from a non-routine lease transaction were accurately disclosed in the Company's interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. This control deficiency resulted in
50
the restatement of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 to correct the cash flow presentation of prepayments received under the lease agreement. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the presentation of amounts in the statements of cash flows that would result in a material misstatement to the Company's interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting, during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Status of Management's Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is in the process of documenting and testing our internal controls over financial reporting for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As part of that ongoing process, management has implemented an additional control to remediate the material weakness described above. Management has implemented a control which requires transactions of a non-routine nature be reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer who will determine whether sufficient expertise exist within the Company to determine the proper treatment of the transaction, and if necessary, to consult with external experts. In addition, the Company continues to support their continuing education program for management and staff related to financial accounting and reporting. Additionally, as needed, management periodically reevaluates accounting decisions for non-routine transactions based on changes in generally accepted accounting principles and other relevant literature.
The Company is continuing the process of designing and implementing new and improved procedures and controls which are expected to enhance the reliability of the Company's internal control processes. We plan to continue this initiative as we prepare for the issuance of our first management report on internal control over financial reporting on December 31, 2005, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There were no material developments in any legal proceedings to which the Company is a party during the first six months of fiscal year 2005 from those previously reported in Part I, Item 3 of our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.
From time to time, we (and our subsidiaries) are a party to various other lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our (and their) business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we accrue reserves in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, future results and cash flows.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On November 10, 2004, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-117527) (Registration Statement") for our Initial Public Offering. Under the Registration Statement, we registered and sold 7,187,500 shares of our common stock. All of the 7,187,500 shares sold in that offering were sold at $15.00 per share. The offering closed on November 16, 2004. The underwriting syndicate was managed by Lehman Brothers Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets Corporation, and Wells Fargo Securities LLC.
The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of 7,187,500 shares of common stock were $107.8 million. The aggregate net proceeds to us after the offering were $97.0 million, after deducting an aggregate of $7.5 million in underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the underwriters and $3.3 million in other expenses incurred in connection with the offering.
As of the date of this filing, we invested $14.0 million out of the net proceeds in interest-bearing investment-grade instruments and bank deposits; we repaid third party loans in the amount of $23.3 million and used $59.7 million for corporate purposes, including $31.0 million for capital expenditures and $7.0 million to repay loans from our parent, Ormat Industries Ltd.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
