&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On January 1, 2012, the Company held a meeting with the Holders, where the Company proposed to restructure (the "Proposal") the Debentures to postpone all principal payments due thereunder for the next two years, while continuing to make the interest payments as scheduled. Under the Proposal, the principal amount of the Debentures would not be reduced, and after the two-year period the principal payment schedule for the Debentures would return to the original terms.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Company request that the Holders appoint a delegation (a committee of representatives) of Holders to discuss the Proposal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On January 22, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors decided to postpone making the principal payments currently coming due on the Debentures, but to continue making interest payments as scheduled. In accordance with the decision, on January 31, 2012, the Company made an interest payment on the Series B Debentures (the "Series B Debentures") to the B Holders on the scheduled payment date, and the Company did not request the return of the Company's funds held on deposit by the trustee for the B Holders.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On February 20, 2012, a meeting of the B Holders was held at the request of the B Holders' trustee and on March 6, 2012, the B Holders voted (the "Series B Resolution") to accelerate and set to immediate repayment the entire outstanding amounts under the Series B Debentures. The Series B Resolution provided that the acceleration would be effective two weeks after March 6, 2012, unless an additional two-week extension was granted by the committee formed by the B Holders (the "Series B Committee") to represent the B Holders. Such extension was granted on March 20, 2012. Additional postponements of the effective date of the acceleration of the Series B Debentures are possible subject to the approval of the majority of the B Holders. As of March 12, 2012, due to the acceleration, the total amount outstanding (including interest) under the Series B Debentures (excluding the Series B Debentures held by the Company) is NIS 527,024,735 (approximately $138.4 million).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;Accordingly, all the Series of the Debentures in the amount of $243.8 million have been classified as short-term obligations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;Additionally, the B Holders voted to authorize the commencement of legal actions and other measures, at the discretion of Clal Finance Trusts 2007 Ltd., the trustee for the B Holders, and/or at the recommendation of the Series B Committee, to collect the principal payment which was due on January 31, 2012 and which the Company did not make. The B Holders also voted to empower the Series B Committee to continue negotiations with the Company to settle payments to the B Holders and/or to restructure the Series B Debentures, to protect the rights of the B Holders and to receive all required information from the Company regarding its financial status and its ability to meet its obligations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On March 5, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors decided that the Company intended to make an interest payment which was due to be paid to the Series C Debenture holders on March 7, 2012 (the "Series C Interest Payment"), if the Series B Resolution was not approved. The Board further decided that if the Series B Resolution was approved (as it was approved on March 6, 2012, as described above), the Series C Interest Payment would be postponed until it was clear to the Company whether the Series B Resolution to accelerate the Company's entire debt owed to the B Holders and set it to immediate payment would be enforced.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On March 26, 2012, the Company announced that the Series C Interest Payment will be paid on March 29, 2012 by transferring funds that are deposited with the trustee for the Series C debenture holders, in favor of the Series C debenture holders, and in accordance with the resolution of the Series C debenture holders of March 22, 2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On April 4, 2012, the Company announced that the Company has reached an agreement in principle on a proposed outline for arrangement (the "Term Sheet") with the Series B Committee. The Term Sheet sets out the proposed guiding principles for a detailed agreement to modify the terms of all of the Debentures.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;According to the Term Sheet, Ampal will postpone all of the principal payments due to the Debenture holders by two years, and will continue to make interest payments due to all of its Debentures, in accordance with the original amortization schedule. The Term Sheet provides that the postponement on the principal payments was provided in consideration for, among other things, (i) Ampal (A) issuing warrants for equity to the Debenture holders, (B) providing additional security and liens to the Debenture holders, (C) reducing its operating expenses and management fees paid (including Mr. Maiman, the Chairman, CEO and President, not being paid a salary during the postponement period) and (D) being subject to additional financial covenants, including restrictions on investments, and (ii) the controlling shareholder group (A) agreeing to make additional capital contributions to Ampal, (B) providing a security interest in the Sugarcane Ethanol Project and (C) providing the Debenture holders with the right to cause Ampal to call the loan it made in connection with the Sugarcane Ethanol project.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;A meeting of the Series A and Series C Debenture holders was held on May 2, 2012, at the request of the Series A and Series C Debenture holders' trustees. On the agenda was a resolution to accelerate and set to immediate repayment the entire outstanding amounts under the Series A and Series C Debentures. Following the meeting, and for the sake of continuing the negotiations of restructuring the debt, the Company informed the Series A and Series C Debenture holders' trustees of its intent to pay to the Series A Debenture holders the interest payment due on June 3, 2012 and to deposit with the Series C Debenture trustee the amount of interest paid to the Series C Debenture holders out of the funds held in deposit with the trustee on March 29, 2012. The Company's intention is subject to the rejection of the immediate repayment resolution by the Series A and Series C Debenture holders. Following the Company's notice, the Series A and Series C trustees have issued ballots to vote for the cancellation of the immediate repayment decisions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash and other resources to service its debt and finance its ongoing operations. This fact raises substantial doubts as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern if the Company does not reach agreement with the debenture holders, obtain additional financing or otherwise raise capital through the sale of assets or otherwise. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management is in the process of negotiations with the Holders' committees to restructure the debt to its Series A, Series B and Series C Debenture Holders, but there is no assurance that the negotiations will succeed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to restructure its debt or its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</ampl:DebenturesRestructuringTextBlock>

&lt;td&gt;

&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On December 31, 2009, Ampal signed an option exercise agreement (the "Exercise Agreement") with Merhav (M.N.F.) Ltd. ("Merhav") pursuant to which it exercised, subject to certain conditions, an option (the "Option") to convert Ampal's existing loan to Merhav (consisting of $20 million of principal plus accrued interest) (the "Loan") into a 25% equity interest in the sugarcane ethanol production project in Colombia (the "Project") being developed by Merhav. The Loan is evidenced by an Amended and Restated Promissory Note, dated December 25, 2008 (the "Note"), issued by Merhav in favor of Ampal, and is secured by Merhav's pledge of its shares of Class A Stock of Ampal, pursuant to that certain Pledge Agreement, dated December 24, 2007, between Merhav and Ampal (the "Pledge Agreement"). Merhav's obligations under the Note are guaranteed by Mr. Yosef A. Maiman pursuant to a personal guaranty, dated as of December 25, 2008 (the "Guaranty"). The Option is evidenced by an Option Agreement, dated December 25, 2007, between Merhav and Ampal, as amended on December 25, 2008 (the "Option Agreement"). The Loan, Option and related transactions are summarized in the Company's previously filed annual and periodic reports. On December 31, 2010, all the rights and obligations of Ampal in the Project were assigned to MAG.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;Pursuant to the Exercise Agreement, the conversion of the Loan into a 25% equity interest in the Project will take the form of the issuance to MAG of 25% of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Merhav Renewable Energies Limited, a Cyprus corporation and subsidiary of Merhav ("Merhav Energies"). The purchase price for the 25% equity stake in Merhav Energies, to be paid at closing, is the outstanding balance of the Note on December 31, 2009, or approximately $22.3 million. The closing of the purchase of the 25% equity stake and the conversion of the Loan is subject to, among other things, (i) the initial disbursement of (or other evidence of) long-term debt financing for the Project obtained from Banco do Brasil or any other unaffiliated third party lender (the date such financing is obtained, the "Qualified Financing Date"), (ii) the payment in full of all outstanding amounts due and payable under the Note, and (iii) the delivery at closing of the Shareholders' Agreement (as defined below) by Merhav and MAG, setting forth certain agreements relating to the governance of Merhav Energies. At closing, the Note and the Guaranty shall be cancelled and the pledge of Merhav's shares of Class A Stock under the Pledge Agreement shall be released. The closing was to occur on the Qualified Financing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, but no later than December 31, 2010 (the "Termination Date"). Since the Qualified Financing Date did not occur prior to December 31, 2010, on December 31, 2010, the parties amended the Exercise Agreement such that the Termination Date and the maturity date of the Note was extended to December 31, 2011. Additionally, on December 31, 2010, all the rights and obligations of Ampal in the Project were assigned to MAG. Since the Qualified Financing Date was not likely occur prior to December 31, 2011, on November 12, 2011, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Ampal approved the amendment of the Exercise Agreement such that the Termination Date and the maturity date of the Note would be extended to December 31, 2012 and on December 8, 2011, the parties signed such amendment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 36pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;td&gt;

&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;Additionally, Merhav and Ampal have agreed that, under certain circumstances, each will arrange for loans to Merhav Energies from time to time through third parties, directly or indirectly, for up to $15 million.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;td&gt;

&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;As stated above, as a condition to closing MAG's purchase of a 25% equity stake in Merhav Energies, Merhav, MAG and Merhav Energies will enter into a Shareholders' Agreement (the "Shareholders' Agreement") to provide for, among other things, (i) restrictions on the transfer of shares of Merhav Energies, (ii) a right of first refusal on transfers of shares of Merhav Energies, (iii) tag-along and drag-along rights on the transfer of shares of Merhav Energies, (iv) preemptive rights on the issuance of new shares of capital stock (or other equity interest) by Merhav Energies, subject to the anti-dilution rights of MAG, and (v) the right of MAG to designate 25% of the directors of Merhav Energies. In addition to preemptive rights under the Shareholders' Agreement, MAG has been granted anti-dilution protection, which may result in the issuance of additional shares of Merhav Energies to MAG, in the event that, prior to end of the 180-day period following the commencement of the Project's operations, Merhav sells, or Merhav Energies issues, shares of Merhav Energies at a per share price that is less than the per share price paid by MAG under the Exercise Agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The adjustments in ASU 2011-12 supersede changes to those paragraphs in Update No. 2011-05 ("ASU 2011-05") that pertain to how, when and where reclassification adjustments are presented. Entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. The amendments are effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The amendment enhances disclosures regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with GAAP or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. This information will enable users of an entity's financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. The amendments in ASU 2011-11 are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2013. According to ASU 2011-11 the entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not expect ASU 2011-11, which relates to disclosure matters only, to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The amendment provides entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be required. The amendment also removes the carry forward option of the reporting unit fair value from one year to the next. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

EMG considers the termination attempt unlawful and in bad faith, and consequently demanded its withdrawal. EGPC and EGAS declined to withdraw their termination notice. EMG informed EGPC and EGAS that their attempt to terminate was wrongful and, both in isolation and in combination with their other conduct, constituted repudiation of the GSPA, permitting EMG to exercise its right to terminate the GSPA at common law.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Other EMG investors, including Ampal affiliates and co-investors in EMG, also requested arbitration under Egypt's BITs with Poland and Germany. In the treaty arbitrations, the EMG investors claim that Egypt breached its international obligations under the applicable investment treaties by failing to provide fair and equitable treatment and full protection and security to their investments, impairing their investments through unreasonable and discriminatory measures, failing to observe the Egyptian State's obligations toward their investments, and expropriating their investments. Through the arbitrations, the investors seek, among other relief, significant monetary compensation for damages caused by Egypt's treaty violations. In accordance with the BIT between Egypt and the United States, Ampal's request for arbitration was submitted to the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ("ICSID"). Several other US entities and a German citizen who invested in EMG have also filed requests for arbitration pursuant to the ICSID convention. Mr. Yosef A. Maiman &amp;#8211; a Polish national &amp;#8211; and three Ampal-affiliated entities that he controls submitted a request for arbitration under Egypt's BIT with Poland pursuant to the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law ("UNCITRAL").&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;EMG filed a Request for Arbitration against EGPC and EGAS (collectively, "EGPC/EGAS") on October 7, 2011 at the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC"). EGPC is an Egyptian State authority and EGAS is an Egyptian state-owned entity. They are responsible for the development and transportation of Egypt's hydrocarbon resources. EMG and EGPC/EGAS entered into the Source Contract on July 13, 2005. Through its Request for Arbitration, EMG has sought, in part, to enforce its rights to quantities of natural gas provided for in the Source Contract and a Tripartite Agreement entered into by EMG, IEC and EGPC/EGAS on June 13, 2005 (the "Tripartite Agreement"). and to secure compensation for EGPC/EGAS's failure to supply contractual quantities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;Although the delivery shortfalls date back to EGPC/EGAS's earliest deliveries under the Source Contract, EGPC/EGAS have subjected EMG to increasingly severe shortages (and at times to total stoppages) since February 2011. EGPC/EGAS have attempted to avoid liability for the shortages and stoppages by claiming that they are excused from their contractual obligations under the force majeure provisions of the Source Contract. EMG has asked that a tribunal affirm EGPC/EGAS's inability to invoke force majeure, and therefore to affirm EGPC/EGAS's liability to EMG.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;EMG has named the Israel Electric Corporation, Ltd. ("IEC") as an additional respondent. IEC is an Israeli state-owned electricity producer that entered into a Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement with EMG on August 8, 2005 (the "On-Sale Agreement"). Under the On-Sale Agreement, EMG promised to supply, and IEC promised to purchase, quantities of natural gas sold to EMG under the Source Contract; those quantities were in turn guaranteed by EGPC/EGAS through the Tripartite Agreement. Therefore, EGPC/EGAS guaranteed that it would provide contractual quantities of gas to EMG (for sale to IEC) under both the Source Contract and the Tripartite Agreement. Because the contractual guarantees under these two agreements are coextensive, EMG filed for declaratory relief declaring that EGPC/EGAS, and not EMG, are liable to IEC for supply deficiencies. An initial procedural conference for the above arbitration was held on April 24, 2012, and the next meeting is scheduled for May 31, 2012. The total amount of the claim has not yet been quantified and the Company cannot currently estimate the range of potential compensation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On September 21, 2011, EMG filed a Request for Arbitration against IEC as a sole respondent. In that arbitration, EMG seeks declaratory relief that IEC is not entitled to claim shortfall penalties from EMG as a result of EGPC/EGAS's breaches of the GSPA and the Tripartite Agreement. EMG also seeks a declaration that it may seek out additional customers, and renew contracts with existing customers, without breaching the On-Sale Agreement. The total amount of the claim has not yet been quantified and the Company cannot currently estimate the range of possible compensation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;On May 5, 2012, EGPC/EGAS filed a Notice of Arbitration against EMG at the Cairo Regional Center for International Commercial Arbitration for alleged breaches by EMG of its obligations under the GSPA. EGAS/EGPC seek, among other things, declaratory relief, monetary damages of not less than approximately $182 million and injunctive relief ordering EMG to desist from pursuing the abovementioned arbitration filed by EMG against EGPC/EGAS at the ICC.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;The Company evaluates the carrying value amount of its interest in EMG&amp;nbsp;annually in connection with&amp;nbsp;the preparation of its financial statements.&amp;nbsp;In light of&amp;nbsp;the developments in Egypt during 2011, the Company obtained updated quarterly interim valuations from an independent third-party valuation firm.&amp;nbsp;These periodic independent valuations obtained&amp;nbsp;by the&amp;nbsp;Company to assist in its preparation of financial statements customarily indicate&amp;nbsp;a range of values depending on underlying assumptions. The valuations were based on the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. Due to the uncertainties, the valuation firm used a range of possible scenarios, including different assumptions regarding the profitability and discount rates of EMG.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;At December 31, 2011, the valuation range determined by the independent valuation firm was between $1,584 million and $1,856 million and the amount on which the carrying amount of Ampal's investment in EMG after impairment was based on a value of $1,550 million.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;" align="justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

The Company recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 charges of $260.4 million in connection with its investment in EMG. The Company did not record future compensation from the arbitrations as an asset.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CostMethodInvestmentsDescriptionTextBlock>

The Company has certain financial and other covenants in the Credit Facilities.&amp;nbsp;The Company determined that in connection with the preparation of its March 31, 2012 financial statements it would not meet certain required covenants and due to the Company's other debts (mainly, to its debenture holders), in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, IDB may decide to accelerate the Credit Facility and set it to immediate prepayment.

&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy used by the Company within ASC No. 820 distinguishes between three levels of inputs that may be utilized when measuring fair values, including Level 1 inputs (using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities), Level 2 inputs (using inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability) and Level 3 inputs (unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company's own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities). A financial asset's or liability's classification within the above hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure derivative contracts at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy at which each instrument is generally classified.

&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and significant other observable and unobservable inputs. Such financial instruments consist of interest rate and foreign exchange contracts. The fair values for the majority of these derivative contracts are based upon current quoted market prices. These financial instruments are typically exchange-traded and are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether the exchange is deemed to be an active market or not.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The Term Sheet sets out the proposed guiding principles for a detailed agreement to modify the terms of all of the Debentures.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;According to the Term Sheet, Ampal will postpone all of the principal payments due to the Debenture holders by two years, and will continue to make interest payments due to all of its Debentures, in accordance with the original amortization schedule. The Term Sheet provides that the postponement on the principal payments was provided in consideration for, among other things, (i) Ampal (A) issuing warrants for equity to the Debenture holders, (B) providing additional security and liens to the Debenture holders, (C) reducing its operating expenses and management fees paid (including Mr. Maiman, the Chairman, CEO and President, not being paid a salary during the postponement period) and (D) being subject to additional financial covenants, including restrictions on investments, and (ii) the controlling shareholder group (A) agreeing to make additional capital contributions to Ampal, (B) providing a security interest in the Sugarcane Ethanol Project and (C) providing the Debenture holders with the right to cause Ampal to call the loan it made in connection with the Sugarcane Ethanol project.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

On the agenda was a resolution to accelerate and set to immediate repayment the entire outstanding amounts under the Series A and Series C Debentures. Following the meeting, and for the sake of continuing the negotiations of restructuring the debt, the Company informed the Series A and Series C Debenture holders' trustees of its intent to pay to the Series A Debenture holders the interest payment due on June 3, 2012 and to deposit with the Series C Debenture trustee the amount of interest paid to the Series C Debenture holders out of the funds held in deposit with the trustee on March 29, 2012. The Company's intention is subject to the rejection of the immediate repayment resolution by the Series A and Series C Debenture holders. Following the Company's notice, the Series A and Series C trustees have issued ballots to vote for the cancellation of the immediate repayment decisions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The pipeline is owned and operated by GASCO, the Egyptian gas transport company, which is a subsidiary of EGAS, the Egyptian national gas company (EMG's gas supplier). After the March 5, 2012 explosion, EGAS has not supplied gas throughout the Sinai area, to major Egyptian industries and gas consumers in the Sinai, including cement factories, power stations and homes in Al Arish, as well as to Israel (through EMG) and Jordan. The extent of the damage to GASCO's pipeline and the estimated repair period is unknown at this&lt;font style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;point. Neither EMG's site nor EMG's pipeline were damaged as the affected GASCO pipeline is not a part of the EMG pipeline system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

EMG considers the termination attempt unlawful and in bad faith, and consequently demanded its withdrawal. EGPC and EGAS declined to withdraw their termination notice. EMG informed EGPC and EGAS that their attempt to terminate was wrongful and, both in isolation and in combination with their other conduct, constituted repudiation of the GSPA, permitting EMG to exercise its right to terminate the GSPA at common law.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Other EMG investors, including Ampal affiliates and co-investors in EMG, also requested arbitration under Egypt's BITs with Poland and Germany. In the treaty arbitrations, the EMG investors claim that Egypt breached its international obligations under the applicable investment treaties by failing to provide fair and equitable treatment and full protection and security to their investments, impairing their investments through unreasonable and discriminatory measures, failing to observe the Egyptian State's obligations toward their investments, and expropriating their investments. Through the arbitrations, the investors seek, among other relief, significant monetary compensation for damages caused by Egypt's treaty violations. In accordance with the BIT between Egypt and the United States, Ampal's request for arbitration was submitted to the World Bank's ICSID. Several other US entities and a German citizen who invested in EMG have also filed requests for arbitration pursuant to the ICSID convention. Mr. Yosef A. Maiman &amp;#8211; a Polish national &amp;#8211; and three Ampal-affiliated entities that he controls submitted a request for arbitration under Egypt's BIT with Poland pursuant to the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law UNCITRAL.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

EGAS/EGPC seek, among other things, declaratory relief, monetary damages of not less than approximately $182 million and injunctive relief ordering EMG to desist from pursuing the abovementioned arbitration filed by EMG against EGPC/EGAS at the ICC.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The Company recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 charges of $260.4 million in connection with its investment in EMG. The Company did not record future compensation from the arbitrations as an asset.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:SubsequentEventsTextBlock>
