To the Board of directors and Shareholders of
R.V.B. HOLDINGS LTD.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of R.V.B. Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiary (hereafter - "the Group") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management and Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).
As discussed in Note 1d to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and the board of directors of the Company decided to cease EER's operations and to act in order to dismantle the demonstration facility in Y'bllin owned by EER and also to implement a significant cost reduction plan in the Group. Therefore, the board of directors and management of the company concluded that the Company is not a going concern.
The Financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB with appropriate adjustments to reflect the fact that the Company is not a going concern.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.
| a. | R.V.B. Holdings Ltd. (formerly B.V.R Systems (1998) Ltd.) (the "Company") is an Israeli company incorporated in Israel (the Company changed its name on January 12, 2010). |
The Company’s ordinary shares are traded in the United States on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol RVBHF.
| 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. |
For additional information regarding the EER Transaction, see Note 7b.
| c. | Description of EER and its operations: |
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” or the “Technology”).
In early 2007, EER completed the construction of a facility in Yblin, Israel (containing systems similar to those found in a commercial facility) to make use of the Technology for the treatment of municipal waste (the "Yblin Facility"). The Yblin Facility, according to its permit, can operate only few times a year. At the start of 2008, the Company began depreciating the facility after a successful first year of trial running.
Over the years 2007-2009, several demonstrations were held using the Yblin Facility.
As part of the working plan of EER, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved an investment of up to US$ 1 million in EER's Yblin Facility. The purpose of the investment was implementing improvements in Yblin Facility which mainly include the replacement of the current processing chamber and preparation of the facility for continuous operation. These improvements have been completed as of June 2013.
During June 2013, EER also conducted an additional trial operation of the Y'bllin Facility that included, among others, a test of the capabilities of the new reactor which operates on EER's technology for treatment of solid waste through Plasma-Gasification-Melting.
Considering EER's financial difficulties and needs as mentioned in note 1d below, on July 29, 2013 the board has decided, after considerable deliberation, to cease the operation of the demonstration facility in Y'bllin and to implement a significant cutback in the personnel of the Company and EER, and following the aforementioned decision, on October 31, 2013, the Board decided to act to dismantle the facility and to sale the systems and equipment. See also notes 7d and 13 a(8) below.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| a. | Statement of compliance |
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and its interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
| b. | Presentation of the statement of financial position |
The Company’s assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are classified according to current and non-current items.
| c. | Basis for the preparation of the financial statements: |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
| d. | Analysis of the expenses recognized in profit and loss |
The Company’s expenses in the statement of comprehensive income are presented based on the function of expenses within the entity.
| (1) | Functional currency and operating currency: |
The currency of the main economic environment in which the Group operates is the US dollar (hereinafter – "the functional currency").
| (2) | Translation of transactions that are not in the functional currency |
In the preparation of the financial statements, transactions carried out in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (hereinafter – "foreign currency") are recorded at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the transaction. At each reporting period, monetary items stated in foreign currency are translated according to the exchange rates in effect at that date; non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated according to the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction in connection with the non-monetary item.
| (3) | The method of recording exchange rate differences |
Exchange rate differences (primarily in respect of monetary balances that are not in the functional currency) are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they occurred.
R.V.B. HOLDINGS LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
| f. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and the period to maturity of which did not exceed three months at time of investment.
| g. | Consolidated financial statements |
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entity controlled by the Company (its subsidiary).
Control is achieved when the Company:
| · | has power over the investee; |
| · | is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and |
| · | has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. |
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
| (2) | Non-controlling interest |
Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
| (3) | Regarding the accounting treatment of the EER transaction see note 1d above. |
R.V.B. HOLDINGS LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
A fixed asset is a tangible item, which is held for use in manufacture or the supply of goods or services, or rent for others, which is forecasted to be used for more than one period. The Company presents its fixed asset items according to the cost model.
Under the cost model, fixed asset items are presented in the balance sheet at cost (net of received investment grants), net of accumulated depreciation and less accumulated impairment losses.
Any component of a fixed-asset item having a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the asset shall be depreciated separately. The depreciation is carried out systematically over the estimated useful life of the asset by the straight line method from the time at which the asset is ready for its intended use.
The annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
| | | | | |
| | | | % | |
Buildings | | 12.5 | | 8 | |
Construction and miscellaneous | | 12.5 | | 8 | |
Plasma, compressors and bellows | | 12.5 | | 8 | |
Machinery and equipment | | 12.5 | | 8 | |
Pipelines | | 12.5 | | 8 | |
Crane and reactor | | 12.5 | | 8 | |
Faucets and electricity | | 10 | | 10 | |
Steam boilers | | 5 | | 20 | |
Furniture and office equipment | | 3-17, mainly 3 | | 6-33 (mainly 33%) | |
The useful life of an asset is reviewed by the Company's management at the end of each financial year. Changes are treated as changes in estimates and accounted for prospectively.
Liability in respect of costs for dismantling and removing an item and restoring the site on which the asset is located:
The cost of a fixed-asset item includes, among others, costs to dismantle and remove the item and to restore the site on which the asset is located, for which the Company incurred an obligation, when the item was purchased or as a result of the use of this item during a certain period, that is not for the purpose of manufacturing inventory during that period.
| · | Changes in said liability regarding the end of the period of depreciation of the item will be deducted from or added to the asset during the period in which they occurred. |
| · | Changes in said liability deriving from the passage of time are recognized in the statement of income as a financing cost as incurred. |
See also note 13a(8).
R.V.B. HOLDINGS LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
| i. | Non-current assets held for sale: |
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
| j. | Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill: |
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
R.V.B. HOLDINGS LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
Financial assets are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument.
Investments in financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss, where the transaction costs are carried to the income statement.
The Company's financial assets are loans and receivables. The classification is dependent on the nature and purpose of holding the financial asset and is determined at the initial date of recognition of the financial asset.
As for the publication of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", see note 3b.
Deposits, loans and other receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, are classified as loans and receivables. The value of these financial assets is not materially different than their fair value.
| l. | Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company: |
| (1) | Classification as a financial liability or an equity instrument |
Non-derivative financial instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the amount of the proceeds received, net of direct issuing costs.
Financial liabilities of the Company are measured in accordance with their classification as other financial liabilities, at amortized cost (not at fair value through profit and loss).
| (2) | Other financial liabilities |
Other financial liabilities (credit, loans, and accounts payable) are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. The value of these financial liabilities is not materially different than their fair value.
| m. | Leasing of real estate by the Company |
Payments made under operating leases were recognized in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Regarding onerous contracts see note 2o below.
R.V.B. HOLDINGS LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
| n. | Government grants and grants from the office of the Chief Scientist |
Grants received from the Chief Scientist (prior to the Amendment to IAS 20), which EER is required to repay with the addition of interest payments, provided the conditions associated with the grant are met, and which do not constitute forgivable loans, are recognized on the date of initial recognition, the amount to be repaid is presented as a liability at its nominal value without reflecting the benefit that arises from the capitalization of the grant at a capitalization rate that reflects the level of risk of the research and development project.
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the group has a present legal or constructive obligation, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits, which can be estimated reliably, will be used to settle the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision, reflects management's best estimate of the amount required in order to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, whilst taking into account the risks and uncertainties connected with the obligation. When the provision is measured using the forecasted cash flows in order to settle the liability, the book value of the provision is the current value of the forecasted cash flows.
When the entire amount or a portion thereof, which is required to settle the commitment at the balance sheet date is expected to be recovered by a third party, the Group recognizes the asset, in respect of said recovery, up to the amount of the recognized provision, only when it is virtually certain that the indemnification will be received and that it can be reliably measured.
Onerous contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Group has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.
Share-based payments to employees and others that provide similar services, which are settled in equity instruments of the Group, are measured at fair value on the grant date. On the grant date, the Company measures the fair value of the granted equity instruments by using the Black and Scholes model. If the equity instruments granted to them have not vested until these employees have completed a defined period of service, have met performance conditions or defined market conditions are met, the company recognizes the share-based payment transactions in its financial statements over the vesting period against an increase in its shareholders' equity, under "Capital reserve in respect of share-based payment". At each balance sheet date, the Company estimates the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest. Any change in the estimate relative to previous periods is recognized in the income statement over the remaining vesting period.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
In view of losses for tax purposes accrued by the Company and given the fact that as of the reporting date there was no certainty as to the realization of these losses in the foreseeable future, the Company does not recognize deferred taxes in respect of carry-forward losses and in respect of temporary differences in the value of certain revenues and expenses, between the financing reporting and the reporting for tax purposes.
| (1) | Post-employment benefits |
The Company has defined contribution plans in accordance with Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law. In respect of these plans, the actuarial and economic risks are not imposed on the Company. In said plans, during the employment period, an entity makes fixed payments to a separate entity without having a legal or constructive obligation to make additional payments if the fund has not accumulated sufficient amounts. Deposits with the defined contribution plan are included as an expense at the date of the deposit, parallel to receiving services from the employee. The Company makes deposits with pension funds and insurance companies in respect of its liabilities to pay severance pay to some of its employees on a current basis.
| (2) | Short-term employee benefits |
Short-term employee benefits include wages, vacation days, sick leave, recreation and deposits with the National Insurance Institute, which are paid within one year of the period in which the employee provides the related service. These benefits are recognized as an expense upon the provision of services.
| s. | Earnings (loss) per share |
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees and others (See Note 17).
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

Although in the EER Transaction, mentioned in note 7b below, the Company was the legal purchaser of the rights in EER, the Company had no business activity ("Shell Company") as of the date of the EER transaction and thus does not meet the definition of a Business under IFRS 3, and since the majority of the shareholders of the Company after the completion of transaction (including the completion of the Additional SPA) are former shareholders of EER, this transaction does not meet the definition of a 'Business Combination' under IFRS 3. For accounting purposes the transaction is treated as a capital transaction of EER.

Regarding the accounting treatment of the EER transaction see note 2v above and 7c below..
Below is a description of the EER Transaction, including a summary of the terms and conditions of the EER Share Purchase Agreement, the Option Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Services Agreement, and the actions that took place at the closing of the EER transaction on August 31, 2011, (the "Closing Date") in connection therewith:

In addition, the Company acquired all of EER’s share capital held by Accord (1,721,450 ordinary shares of EER), in exchange for 20,054,893 ordinary shares of the Company (each EER share was exchanged for 11.65 ordinary shares of the Company).On October 11, 2011 an initial closing of an Additional SPA was completed with certain EER shareholders. At this closing, the Company issued a total of 38,066,489 ordinary shares of the Company in exchange for a total of 3,267,510 EER shares from these certain EER shareholders. |
On January 12, 2012, an additional closing of the Additional SPA with other EER shareholders who elected to become parties to the Additional SPA was completed. At this additional closing the Company issued a total of 55,703,870 ordinary shares of the Company, in exchange for 4,781,448 EER shares of these certain EER shareholders.

| (4) | Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, Mazal undertook to vote with its EER shares in the same manner as then voted on such matter by the Company and/or as instructed by the Company in its sole discretion. The Shareholders Agreement also contains certain provisions concerning rights of first refusal, pursuant to which, if Mazal proposes transfer in any way any of the Mazal EER shares, to one or more third parties except to a permitted transferee, then the Company shall have a right of first refusal with respect to such transfer; |

| d. | Additional information regarding EER |
| (1) | Considering EER's financial difficulties and needs as mentioned in note 1d above, on July 29, 2013 the board has decided, after considerable deliberation, to cease the operation of the demonstration facility in Y'bllin and to implement a significant cutback in the personnel of the Company and EER. |
As a result of the cease of operation of the Facility, the Company has recognized a significant impairment loss on the value of its assets in the reported period in a total amount of approximately $12.4 million (see note 19).
Following the aforementioned decision, on October 31, 2013, the Board decided to act to dismantle the facility and to sale the systems and equipment. See also note 13a(8) below.
In addition, the Company and EER are continuing with their efforts to enter into collaborations based on the technology of EER and/or sell the technology.
| (2) | In addition, the Company had an immediate need for funding for the period beginning as of the cease of the Facility’s operation. Therefore, the Board approved the receipt of a line of credit from Greenstone in the amount of up to NIS 2 million. For more details regarding the credit line received from Greenstone see note 13a(10) below. |
| (3) | The Board of Directors of EER approved, on several different dates, allotments of options to shareholders, employees and officers of EER (in this note – “the options”). |
As of the date of these financial statements there are options that were allotted to employees, officers and others, which confer approximately 5% of the fully-diluted share capital of EER.

The Group applies to most of its employees Section 14 to the Israeli Severance Pay Act of, 1963, pursuant to which it is exempt from any severance pay liability, subject to it making certain monthly allocations to employees' pension plans. The Group will not have a legal or constructive obligation to make additional payments if the plan does not have sufficient assets to pay the entire employee benefits relating to the employee's service during the current period and in previous periods.
In accordance with the Israeli Annual Vacation Act of, 1951, the Group's employees are entitled to several paid vacation days in respect of each year of employment. Pursuant to said law, the number of vacation days per year to which each employee is entitled is determined in accordance with the seniority of said employee.
An employee is entitled, with the consent of the Company, to use the vacation days and accumulate up to 60 vacation days.
An employee terminating his employment before using his accumulated vacation leave is entitled to payment in respect of the balance of vacation leave.
