NOTE 1 - GENERAL
| a. | R.V.B. Holdings Ltd. (formerly B.V.R Systems (1998) Ltd.) (the "Company") is an Israeli company incorporated in Israel. |
The Company’s ordinary shares are traded in the United States on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol RVBHF.OB.
| b. | On August 31, 2011, the Company completed the transaction, following which E.E.R. Environmental Energy Resources (Israel) Ltd.'s ("EER") became its subsidiary (the "EER Transaction"). As of January 12, 2012 the Company completed the multi-closing of the EER transaction in which it acquired all of EER's shares held by Greenstone Industries Ltd. ("Greenstone") and by S.R. Accord Ltd. ("Accord"), and the majority of EER shares held by certain other EER shareholders, and, as of the date of these financial statements, holds approximately 80%% of EER's share capital and 99.1% of EER's voting rights. |
| c. | EER was incorporated in Israel on May 21, 2000, as a private company limited by shares. EER owns know-how and rights in the field of solid waste treatment through the use of Plasma-Gasification-Melting (PGM) technology, an innovative approach to waste treatment, which can be implemented, among others, for the treatment of municipal waste, medical waste and low and intermediate level radioactive waste (the “PGM Technology”). |
| d. | The Going Concern Assumption |
The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. As at June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents in a total amount of $893 thousands.
The Group does not have sufficient funds to finance its operations and working plan for the upcoming future. In addition, on July 29 2013 the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has decided to cease the operation of the demonstration facility in Y'bllin owned by EER and to implement a significant cost reduction plan in the Company and in EER.
Accordingly, the going concern assumption is no longer appropriate.
According to IAS 1 and to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, financial statement preparation will be based on a going concern basis or a different basis if the going concern assumption is not met. However, IFRS does not prescribe what different basis should be used.
The Financial statements are prepared in accordance with the approach, which is a common practice, of IFRS should continue to be fully implemented with adjustments that reflect the effects of the going concern assumption being no longer appropriate.
Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements include adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that are necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is pursuing additional sources of financing and cash flow to fund its operations but there can be no assurance it will be able to do so.
| e. | These condensed financial statements should be reviewed in connection with the Company's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and the year then ended, and the accompanying notes (“the annual financial statements”). |
