Al Suwadi Power’s financial year commences on 1 January and ends on 31 December. In this Prospectus, any discrepancy in any table between the total and the sum of the relevant amounts listed is due to rounding.

Currency of Presentation

In this Prospectus, all references to “OMR” and/or “Omani Rials” are to the legal currency for the time being of Oman, all references to “US$” and/or “US Dollars” are to the lawful currency for the time being of the United States of America.

Unless stated otherwise, industry and market data used throughout this Prospectus has been obtained from third-party industry publications and/or websites, including, without limitation OPWP.

Unless stated otherwise, the stated electricity capacities provided refer to the contracted capacity of such projects at the time of their full commercial operation date.

Chapter II

Summary Information Relating to Al Suwadi PowerThis summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus. It does not contain all the information that all Applicants should consider before investing in the Offer Shares. All Applicants should read the entire Prospectus carefully, including the financial statements of Al Suwadi Power set out in “Chapter XXII – Financial Statements” of this Prospectus. In addition, all Applicants should read “Chapter XIII – Risk Factors” of this Prospectus for more information about important factors that should be considered before buying Offer Shares.

Overview of Al Suwadi Power

Al Suwadi Power’s core business activity is to own and operate the Barka-3 power plant, a gas-fired combined cycle power generation plant with a contracted power capacity of 744 MW1, located approximately 80km northwest of Muscat in Oman, in the immediate vicinity of the existing Barka-1 and Barka-2 IWPPs. The Plant has been in full commercial operation since 4 April 2013 and was completed at a cost of OMR 336 million (within budget). Al Suwadi Power currently generates its revenues pursuant to a 15-year term PPA with OPWP, which is indirectly wholly-owned by the Government. The capacity of and power produced from the Plant are fully contracted to OPWP and used to meet the growing power demands of the MIS region during the term of the PPA and beyond. As the largest power plant at a single location in Oman (on an equal footing with the Sohar-2 power plant owned by Al Batinah Power), the Plant’s contracted power capacity of 744 MW represents c.13.3% of the MIS total currently contracted capacity of approximately 5589 MW2. According to OPWP’s 7 year statement (2013-2019), the Plant is expected to result in a significant improvement in overall gas utilization efficiency, based on using newer, more fuel-efficient technology than existing plants.

The combined cycle power generation technology employed in the Plant is a proven technology that has been implemented globally on numerous projects. The Plant is mainly comprised of 2 gas turbines and 1 steam turbine supplied by Siemens AG. The Plant uses the state-of-the-art Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbine technology.

The PPA imposes an obligation on Al Suwadi Power to operate and maintain the Plant at an agreed level of availability in respect of the contracted power capacity. From the COD, Al Suwadi Power is required to make available electricity generating capacity of 744 MW and sell the electrical energy output exclusively to OPWP. In return, Al Suwadi Power receives a tariff covering capacity charges, electrical energy charges and fuel charges from OPWP. The capacity charge is payable for each hour during which the Plant is available and OPWP is obliged to pay capacity charges, regardless of whether or not such capacity is dispatched. The capacity charge is subject to reductions due to forced and scheduled outages. The capacity charges were calibrated so that they cover inter alia the debt service, fixed operating and maintenance costs, taxes, insurance costs and return on capital. In addition to these capacity payments, Al Suwadi Power also receives the electrical energy charge for the electrical energy delivered under the PPA to cover the variable costs. The fuel charge is calculated based on the consumption of natural gas calculated by the Plant model for electrical energy delivered and is in effect a virtual pass-through cost factor, subject to achieving the guaranteed heat rate (or guaranteed gas consumption). The Plant’s contracted power capacity is sold exclusively to OPWP in accordance with the terms of the PPA. Natural gas, supplied by the MoG, is the primary fuel with fuel oil (diesel) as back-up. Al Suwadi Power has a long-term agreement with the MoG securing supply of fuel over the contracted PPA period. The power is evacuated through the OETC’s 220 kV substation.

The Operator of the Plant (pursuant to a 15-year agreement) is STOMO, a company indirectly owned by GDF SUEZ. The Operator is managed locally and is the most experienced operator of power projects in Oman.

The Plant has been established under a BOO scheme, which enables it to be operated beyond the PPA term of 15 years, either by extending the PPA (if agreed to by OPWP), or by selling the power into an electricity pool which may exist at that time and/or to eligible customers.

It has also been the Government’s intention that Omani investors should be able to participate in strategic projects of this nature. As part of the tendering process for the Project, each of the Project Founders entered into the PFA with EHC on 10 August 2010, which required them to provide certain warranties and undertakings to EHC in respect of Al Suwadi Power, which was the project company formed by the Project Founders for the purposes of entering into the PPA and undertaking the development, ownership and operation of the Project.

The PFA requires the Project Founders, within four years from the incorporation of Al Suwadi Power, to offer 35 per cent. of the shares of Al Suwadi Power to the public. Accordingly, the Selling Shareholders are offering 250,042,219 Shares, equivalent to 35 per cent. of the Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital of Al Suwadi Power. Al Suwadi Power has obtained the requisite approvals to offer 35 per cent. of Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital, including approval from PAEW pursuant to Article 13 of the Sector Law. Al Suwadi Power has also obtained the approval of AER to proceed with the sale of 35 per cent. of the Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital through an IPO.

Use of the Proceeds of the Offer

The Offer Shares do not represent an issuance of new Shares. The Offer Shares represent the selling/divestment of a part of the Shares currently held by the Selling Shareholders. The proceeds of the Offer (including the premium) shall therefore accrue to the Selling Shareholders in the ratio of Shares offered. The Bzs 2 per Share collected towards the Issue Expenses will cover a portion of the expenses incurred in relation to the IPO.

Chapter VIII

Overview of the Omani EconomyLocation

Strategically positioned at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Oman has historically been a centre of trade and commerce. With a population of approximately 3.9 million as at November 2013, spread over a land area of 309,500 km2, Oman is a country with stable political, economic and social systems. Oman is administratively divided into eleven governorates (Ad Dakhiliyah, Ad Dhahirah, Al Batinah North, Al Batinah South, Al Buraimi, Al Wusta, Ash Sharqiyah North, Ash Sharqiyah South, Dhofar, Muscat and Musandam). Oman’s capital city is Muscat (in the Muscat Governorate), which is situated on the northeast coast of the country.

International relations

Oman maintains strong relations with its neighbours, as well as a wide range of Western and other countries. Oman has enjoyed political and economic stability over the past 40 years and is a member of various prominent international organisations, including the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the World Trade Organisation.

Regionally, Oman is a founding member of the GCC (alongside five other Arab Gulf states: Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates). Oman is also a member of the GCC’s Permanent Petroleum Cooperation Committee which is charged with preparing the long-term petroleum strategy of the GCC in accordance with its sustainability goals. The Permanent Petroleum Cooperation Committee makes proposals with respect to the supply of oil from the GCC to international markets and provides a forum for GCC member states to coordinate policies and share proposals.

Key Economic and Social Indicators

The following table shows a selection of key economic and social statistics for Oman for the periods indicated:

Economy

Oman has a credit rating of “A” by Standard & Poor’s and “A1” by Moody’s Investor Services. The Omani Rial is pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed exchange rate of US$1 = OMR 0.3845. According to information published by the NCSI, the Omani economy is estimated to have grown by 11.6 per cent. in 2012, supported by the relative stability in crude oil prices in the international markets.

Oman is the world’s 26th largest producer of oil and the 27th largest producer of gas, and held the world’s 21st largest proven oil reserves and 29th largest proven gas reserves, according to The World Factbook published by the US Central Intelligence Agency. On the back of an oil-based economy, the increase in oil prices from around US$56 per barrel to US$106 per barrel from 2009 to 2013 enabled significant development in Oman’s domestic infrastructure, including its healthcare, telecommunications and transportation systems and the expansion of its international trade network. The Government continues to focus on diversification of the economy in order to gradually reduce its dependence on oil and hydrocarbon revenues, which now represent 52 per cent. of Oman’s GDP. The Government is committed to further non-oil industry growth into the future.

Chapter IX

Regulatory Framework and Industry OverviewThe information in this section has been derived from AER’s website, OPWP’s 7-year statement (2013-2019) issued in April 2013, OPWP’s website and other public sources.

Sector Overview

Until 1999, the power and related water activities were solely run by the Government through MHEW. In December 1999, the Council of Ministers approved the introduction of Government policy designed to facilitate the wholesale restructuring of and private sector participation in the electricity and related water sector in Oman. The Government began the process of preparing a new law to facilitate the restructuring and regulation of the electricity and related water sector in Oman. As a result, a new law for the sector, (“the Sector Law”), came into force on 1 August 2004. The Sector Law provides the framework for the industry structure of electricity and related water in Oman. It provides the outline for the transfer of relevant assets and liabilities of the MHEW (subsequently split into the MoH and the PAEW) to a number of successor companies (“Transfer Scheme”).

The distribution of all the electricity and related water activities as per the “Transfer Scheme” involves the setting up of the OPWP and the EHC as well as the transfer of:

• Generation assets to RPC and Wadi Al-Jizzi Power Company SAOC;

• Generation and desalination assets to Al Ghubrah Power and Desalination Company SAOC;

• Transmission assets to OETC;

• Distribution and supply assets transferred to Majan Electricity Company SAOC, Mazoon Electricity Company SAOC and Muscat Electricity Distribution Company SAOC;

• Certain generation, distribution and supply assets to Rural Areas Company SAOC; and

• Establishing a single procurement company, OPWP as well as a holding company, EHC.

The Oman power system is divided into three regional systems partially connected via interconnectors:

• the MIS, which is the largest part of the system and covers the northern area of Oman;

• the Salalah System, located in the Dhofar Governornate; and

• the Rural Areas Electricity System, operated by RAECO, which serves the rest of Oman.

Oman Power and Water Procurement Company

OPWP is the single buyer of power and water for all IPP/IWPP projects within Oman. OPWP is responsible for ensuring that there is sufficient electricity and water production capacity available at the lowest cost to meet growing demands in Oman. OPWP undertakes long-term generation planning and publishes an annual seven-year statement, which identifies new IPP/IWPP projects to be competitively tendered and developed by private sector entities, in order to meet the future power generation and water desalination requirements of Oman. These projects are critical to the reliable and sustainable development of the power sector and the economic development of Oman.

OPWP was established under the Sector Law, Article 74 which specifies its functions and duties including but not limited to:

• To secure production capacity and output to meet demand for electricity in the MIS and the Salalah System, in coordination with RAECO.

• To secure production capacity and output to meet demand for desalinated water in Oman.

• To meet requirements for new electricity and desalinated water capacity in Oman, with new projects to be designed, constructed, financed, owned and operated by local and foreign investors.

Main Interconnected System

The transmission grid in Oman is partitioned into 3 geographical regions (north, central and south). The MIS covers the majority of Oman, serving approximately 600,000 electricity customers. The MIS comprises:

• a number of power generation facilities owned and operated by various companies and connected by a single 220/132 kV transmission grid owned by OETC; and

• three distribution networks owned and operated by Muscat Electricity Distribution Company SAOC, Mazoon Electricity Company SAOC and Majan Electricity Company SAOC, respectively.

The MIS is connected to Abu Dhabi via a 220kV link that can import/export 200 MW. In addition, several of the power generation facilities connected to the MIS produce desalinated water in conjunction with electricity to meet the water requirements of PAEW and Majis Industrial Services Company SAOC, the entities responsible for water services in the MIS.

The price of electricity is subsidized by the Government. Households pay a tiered rate based on consumption. The following is a summary of the rates charged based on type of consumer:

OPWP has also announced plans for a new IPP in Raysut with electricity generation capacity of 300-400 MW alongside restructuring of the existing DPC.

The Salalah System also has contingency reserves via the interconnection with the 132 kV link between Thumrait and Harweel, owned by PDO and completed in 2012. Its purpose is to support reserve-sharing between the two systems, providing improved reliability by allowing each system access to unused reserves in contingency scenarios.

Rural Areas Electricity System

The Rural Areas Electricity System covers the majority of the land mass of Oman, serving over 20,000 customers. The Rural Areas Electricity System comprises more than 40 diesel power plants, comprising approximately 400 MW across the Sultunate of Oman for supply of electricity to the Dhofar, Musandam, Al-Wusta, Masirah parts of Dakliyah, Dahira and Sharqiya regions.The power generated from the plants in these regions is sold directly to customers.

The Rural Areas Electricity System is connected to the MIS via a 132kV interconnector that can import/export 60 MW. The Rural Areas Electricity System is also connected to the Salalah System via a 132kV interconnector that can import/export 100 MW. In addition, five desalination plants with a total capacity of over 2.2 MIGD are located in Abu Mudhaibi, Sowgrah, Kumzer, Masirah and Al Hallaniyat. The desalinated water produced by these plants is sold to PAEW.

OPWP acts as counter-party to the concession agreement on the Government’s behalf. OPWP procures the required power and desalinated water in bulk from generation and production facilities connected to the MIS System and PDO interconnected system.

MIS Electricity Demand

According to OPWP, peak demand for electricity in the MIS is expected to grow from 5,239 MW in 2014 to 8,106 MW by 2019, at an average growth rate of 9.5 per cent. per annum. The demand drivers in the MIS include population growth, household formation, general economic development and infrastructure expansion. The growth in demand from grid-connected loads (generally large industries and infrastructure projects) comprises expansion at existing industrial plants and new projects.

Projected annual power demand and contracted capacity required for the MIS in the period from 2013 to 2019, as estimated by OPWP, is shown in the table and graph below:

OPWP Procurement Activities

In the MIS, the major expected developments through 2019 include:

(1) Completion of the Sur plant, providing 2,000 MW by 2014;

(2) Addition of about 200 MW of solar power, subject to final Government approval, is expected to be tendered in 2014 for 2017 operation;

(3) Expiration of P(W)PA contracts at existing plants (Al Kamil (2017), Barka I (2018), Ghubrah (2018) and Wadi- Jizzi (2020)) totaling to 1517 MW. OPWP will evaluate whether to enter into new contracts with these power and water plants or whether to procure the development of new power and water capacity;

(4) Requirements for one or more new power plants in 2017/2018 with aggregate capacity in the range of 2250 to 3000 MW; and

(5) A new power generation plant at Ad Duqm for commercial operation in 2018. The generation capacity of the power plant, specific timing, and prospect for co-location with the water desalination plant is expected to be specified after the completion of OPWP’s ongoing Ad Duqm study.

In addition to these specific projects, OPWP expects that by around 2017, procurement activities will begin for another major power station for commercial operation in about 2021. These projects will be defined further in time, particularly depending on developments in demand growth and system requirements.

Recent developments

On 30 January 2014, OPWP5 announced that it intends to implement new arrangements for the future procurement of power and water from independent power producers and independent power and water producers in Oman. The new arrangement will focus mainly on the MIS. The principal features of the proposed new arrangements are:

• the introduction of a “spot market” for power, to operate alongside and in conjunction with the existing system of power purchase agreements and PWPAs; and

• the implementation of a more flexible process for the awarding of new power purchase agreements and PWPAs by OPWP, aimed at increasing competition, including between new-build and existing plants.

The proposed spot market will provide an alternative way for producers to sell power to OPWP. Instead of entering into a P(W)PA, qualified producers will be able to participate in a spot market and receive prices determined on a day-to-day basis in accordance with specified market rules. OPWP will remain the single-buyer in accordance with its existing statutory duties. By providing an additional, open and transparent “route to market” for producers, it is believed that the proposed spot market will increase the potential for competition in the power generation market, by providing opportunities for producers without a P(W)PA, including those whose original P(W)PAs may have expired. It is expected that the proposed spot market will be operational by 2017.

Chapter X

Description of Al Suwadi Power and Business OverviewOverview

Al Suwadi Power’s core business activity is to own and operate the Barka-3 power plant, a gas-fired combined cycle power generation plant with a contracted power capacity of 744 MW6 , located approximately 80km northwest of Muscat in Oman, in the immediate vicinity of the existing Barka-1 and Barka-2 IWPPs. The Plant has been in full commercial operation since 4 April 2013 and was completed at a cost of OMR 336 million (within budget). Al Suwadi Power currently generates its revenues pursuant to a 15-year term PPA with OPWP, which is indirectly wholly-owned by the Government. The capacity of and the power produced from the Plant are fully contracted to OPWP and used to meet the growing power demand of the MIS during the term of the PPA and beyond. As the largest power plant at a single location in Oman (on an equal footing with the Sohar-2 power plant owned by Al Batinah Power), the contracted Plant’s power capacity of 744 MW represents c.13.3% of the MIS total currently contracted capacity of approximately 5589 MW as per OPWP’s 7 year statement (2013-2019). According to OPWP’s 7 year statement, the Plant is expected to result in a significant improvement in overall gas utilization efficiency, based on using newer, more fuel-efficient technology than existing plants.

The Plant’s contracted power capacity is sold exclusively to OPWP in accordance with the terms of the PPA. Natural gas, supplied by the MoG, is the primary fuel with distillate fuel oil as back-up. Al Suwadi Power has a long-term agreement with the MoG securing supply of fuel over the contracted PPA period. The power is evacuated through the OETC’s 220 kV substation. The Operator of the Plant (pursuant to a 15-year agreement) is STOMO, a company indirectly owned by GDF SUEZ. The Operator is managed locally and is the most experienced operator of power projects in Oman.

The following diagram displays the approximate location of the Plant:

Al Suwadi Power was incorporated with the commercial registration number 1092781 for an unlimited duration and registered as a SAOC on the MOCI CR on 2 August 2010. At an EGM held on 31 March 2014, it was resolved to transform Al Suwadi Power into a SAOG. The legal and commercial name is Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) and its registered office is located at P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre, Bldg. No. 326, Way No. 3307, Al Khuwair, Sultanate of Oman.

History and Background

The Government invited proposals for the development of an IPP at Barka (Tender No 241/2009) on the following basis:

• The IPP was proposed to be located adjacent to the existing Barka-2 power and desalination plant owned and operated by SMN Power Holding SAOG. The IPP would connect partly at the existing 220 kV to the main interconnected transmission system and partly to the new 220 KV GIS substation that will be constructed by OETC. The IPP would be able to utilise gas transmission infrastructure at the Barka site (to be extended), which is owned by MoG and operated by OGC.

• The Project involved the design, financing, construction, commissioning, ownership, operation and maintenance of the Plant, on a BOO basis, and the capacity of the Plant would be dedicated to, and sell the entirety of its output to OPWP under the PPA.

Following a competitive bidding process run by OPWP in 2010, the Project Founders were awarded the contract to build the Plant. The Project Founders incorporated Al Suwadi Power for the purpose of building the Plant.

The Plant has been established under a BOO scheme, which enables it to be operated beyond the PPA term of 15 years, either by extending the PPA (if agreed to by OPWP), or by selling the power into an electricity pool which may exist at that time or to eligible customers. The same BOO approach has been adopted in the past for SMN Power Holding SAOG, Sohar Power Company SAOG, Al Kamil Power Company SAOG, ACWA Power Barka Company SAOG and Sembcorp Salalah Power and Water Company SAOG.

The BOO approach is unlike a BOOT project as in the case of United Power Company SAOG, where the project is required to be handed over to the Government after the initial PPA period. It should be noted that the expected useful life of the Plant is 40 years.

The PFA requires that the Project Founders float 35% of the Shares on the MSM through an IPO. In 2014, it was agreed between the Project Founders that the PFA would be modified to allow for the transformation of the SAOC into an SAOG at the time of the IPO. The Plant’s total capital cost as of the COD was OMR 336 million, which included EPC and non-EPC costs as well as net early power period revenues.

The table below summarises the main events of the Project’s implementation:

The EPC Contractors for the Project was a consortium of Siemens AG & GSECC. The Plant is based on gas turbine combined cycle technology. It has dual fuel capability with natural gas as the primary fuel and diesel as a back-up fuel. The Plant is the largest power plant at a single site in Oman (on an equal footing with the Sohar-2 power plant).

The combined cycle power generation technology employed in the Plant is a proven technology that has been implemented globally on numerous projects. The Plant is mainly comprised of 2 gas turbines and 1 steam turbine supplied by Siemens AG. The Plant uses the state-of-the-art Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbine technology.

Al Suwadi Power currently generates its revenues pursuant to a 15-year term PPA with OPWP. The terms of the PPA provide that the Plant’s contracted power capacity is sold exclusively to OPWP on a long-term basis. The MoG supplies gas to the Plant under a 15-year NGSA.

OPWP pays a charge consisting of a capacity charge covering the Plant’s fixed costs and a return on capital, and a variable charge to cover energy and other variable costs. Hence, as long as the power is available for dispatch, capacity charges will be paid, subject to agreed outages for maintenance.

In relation to the three months ended 31 March financial results, please read the following important note.

Due to the achievement of COD on 4 April 2013, Management believes that no meaningful comparison can be made between income statement data for the three months ended 31 March 2014 and earlier periods. Management also believes that showing the profit/loss for January-March can be misleading as these months are winter months where the PPA tariff is at its lowest while depreciation and interest expenses are sustained, therefore resulting in a loss that is not representative of the full year expected profit.

For the year 2011, the Plant was under construction and generated no revenue; for the year 2012 there was an Early Power Period where the Plant generated limited revenue during the summer months; for the nine months from 4 April 2013 to 31 December 2013 the profit after tax is positively affected by the settlement with the EPC Contractor. For the complete financial statements of Al Suwadi Power, please see “Chapter XXII– Financial Statements” of this Prospectus.

Competitive Strengths

Al Suwadi Power’s competitive strengths include:

Well-established contractual framework with long term power purchase agreement, ensuring cash flowprotectionagainstadverseeventssuchasbuyerriskeventsandforcemajeure

The Project represents one of the eleven independent and government owned power/and or water production projects on the MIS. It benefits from a well-established contractual framework.

Oman has an outstanding track record of tendering of IPPs and IWPPs in the private sector dating back more than 20 years. Oman is a pioneer of private power in the GCC and the proven contractual framework, enshrined in the Sector Law, is well established. The first IPP in Oman began generating electricity in 1996 and the track record of execution of a compliance with power (and water) purchase agreements since 1993/1994 makes Oman a preferred destination for IPP/IWPP developers. The procurement, ownership and contractual framework template being adopted for the Project is similar to those adopted with the other IPP/IWPPs in Oman predating the Project.

The entire power output from Al Suwadi Power’s installed capacity is contracted with OPWP, through a single long-term PPA which expires on 31 March 2028. Beyond the PPA period, Al Suwadi Power shall either extend its PPA with OPWP or sell its output in a liberalized market in a power pool or to eligible customers. Its decision to do so will depend, amongst other factors, on the evolution of the market regulations set by the AER.

The PPA provides for various buyer risk and force majeure events which outline the relief that Al Suwadi Power may be entitled to receive should the specified events occur that hinder Al Suwadi Power from performing its obligations under the PPA, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the PPA. For a more detailed summary on the conditions required to be fulfilled by Al Suwadi Power in order to receive relief from buyer risk and force majeure events, please refer to the “Chapter XI - Contractual Framework” of this Prospectus.

Stableandpredictablecashflows,resilienttopotentialshocksingaspricesandpowerdemanduntil2028

Under the PPA, Al Suwadi Power receives capacity charges from OPWP for the contracted power capacity of the Plant, which are periodically tested. Such capacity charge comprises approximately 97 per cent. of the total revenues of Al Suwadi Power in FY 2013 (excluding fuel revenue, which is virtually a pass-through). These capacity charges are payable by OPWP regardless of whether the actual output of the Plant is dispatched by OPWP, and regardless of whether Al Suwadi Power is instructed by OPWP to generate and deliver power. This means that, subject to certain limited exceptions, OPWP is obliged to pay capacity charges to Al Suwadi Power for 100 per cent. of the available power capacity of the Plant, irrespective of whether power is actually produced. Al Suwadi Power’s capacity charges are calculated so that they cover its debt service and other fixed costs, including fixed operating and maintenance costs, insurance costs, taxes and capital returns. Fuel revenues and charges are calculated based on the consumption of natural gas calculated by the Plant model for electrical energy output delivered and therefore the gas price and volume is in effect a virtual pass-through cost, subject to achieving the guaranteed heat rate (or guaranteed gas consumption). In addition, for the power that is made available, OPWP also pays Al Suwadi Power a variable output charge to cover variable operating costs. OPWP, a Government owned entity, as the off-taker and the contractual counterparty responsible to pay, is an entity with a high credit rating and an excellent track record of timely payments.

Accordingly, Al Suwadi Power has strong predictability of stable (although seasonal) cash flows that are sheltered from volatility of demand for power, given that Al Suwadi Power is paid on an availability basis.

State-of-the-artfuel-efficientpowerPlant

The CCGT power plant combines a set of gas-fired turbines with a steam turbine to make twice the use of the fuel it consumes. The exhaust heat from the gas turbine is exploited to power the steam turbine, greatly improving overall power plant efficiency. This results in high flexibility and availability and overall low life-cycle costs. It also leads to lower fuel consumption thereby resulting in lower operating costs.

These CCGT plants are considered to be among the world’s safest fossil-fired plants for the environment and climate. Another advantage of these power plants is that the natural gas they run on is less carbon dioxide-intense than other fossil fuels, which helps in the battle against climate change.

FullyoperationalProjectoperatedbyanexperiencedoperatorwithlargestO&MexpertiseinOmanandhavingreachedCODwithoutmaterialdelays

The Plant is completed and has been in full commercial operation for over 12 months, thereby eliminating any construction risk. The existing operational Plant has achieved excellent performance parameters in FY 2013, with a reliability of 99.73% which evidences efficient and top-class plant operation.

Al Suwadi Power has entered into an O&M agreement with STOMO, the largest provider of operation and maintenance services in the sector in Oman, responsible for approximately 3,675 MW of electricity and a net capacity of 270,000m3 potable water per day. Since STOMO, which specializes in power plant operations and maintenance is indirectly owned at majority by the GDF SUEZ group, this creates an alignment of interest with Al Suwadi Power. Through the O&M agreement with STOMO, Al Suwadi Power has largely insulated itself from any risk in regular operating and maintenance costs. The maintenance of the gas turbines, which is a specialized activity, has been subcontracted on a long-term basis by STOMO to Siemens AG, whose capabilities in this area are among the best globally.

Al Suwadi Power is also able to draw upon its Shareholders’ experience which includes some of the most well-known names in the power industry. This has resulted in optimizing the operation of the power plant, managing the plant site to high standards of safety and operating performance, standardizing management reporting for all investments

and investing in improved plant efficiency. Efficiency has been further enhanced by the integrated operations and engineering team ensuring sharing of information. Further, Al Suwadi Power also benefits from wider relationships with its vendors and equipment suppliers.

As per the PPA and the EPC Contract, the COD was scheduled for 1 April 2013. Actual COD was achieved on 4 April 2013, within just three days from the Scheduled COD. Al Suwadi Power has invoiced LD’s to the EPCC, and this was settled as part of the Settlement Agreement with the EPCC. No LD’s have been accrued as payable by Al Suwadi Power since OPWP has granted relief for the 3 days. The achievement by Al Suwadi Power of the COD within just three days of the Scheduled COD is a significant achievement and is comparatively better than the milestone achievement accomplished by other power companies in Oman at the time of their respective IPOs, with the exception of Al Batinah Power, who also achieved COD virtually on time.

As per the EPC Contract, the EPCOD was scheduled for 1 May 2012. Actual EPCOD was achieved on 18 August 2012. Due to the delay in EPCOD, OPWP charged liquidated damages. The OPWP liquidated damages were included fully in the settlement between the EPCC and the Company. The OPWP LDs have been fully settled and there is no outstanding amount. This is another significant achievement by Al Suwadi Power by virtue of which it (as well as Al Batinah Power) is positioned at an advantageous position as compared to the other companies in the power sector in Oman.

Nooutstandingclaimsorlitigations

The EPC contract was executed between the EPCC and Al Suwadi Power on 15 September 2010. As per the EPC Contract, the EPCOD was scheduled for 1 May 2012. Actual EPCOD was achieved on 18 August 2012 for which Al Suwadi Power invoiced LD’s to the EPCC. On 28 September 2013, Al Suwadi Power entered into a Settlement Agreement with the EPCC which detailed all outstanding matters between the two parties. As part of this Settlement Agreement, the EPCC agreed to compensate Al Suwadi Power for claims regarding LD’s and other payments to be made by the EPCC to Al Suwadi Power under the EPC Contract.

Unlike some of the other listed power companies in Oman at the time of their IPO, as of date, Al Suwadi Power has no outstanding LD claims, which is indicative of efficient and effective project management practices adopted and implemented by Al Suwadi Power.

Strongandconsistentdemand for electricity, ensuringopportunitiesafter theexpirationof thecurrentoff-takecontract

Overall demand for electricity in Oman is expected to increase significantly according to OPWP, driven by economic development, population growth, increasing personal income, capital investment and housing, infrastructure and industrial spending and tourism developments. In 2013, peak and annual demand in MIS for electricity were 4,816 MW and 23.8 TWh respectively. According to IPA’s analysis, this is expected to increase to 11,898 MW and 61.0 TWh, respectively, for peak demand (including minimum reserve margin requirement) and annual demand in MIS at the end of the PPA period. IPA anticipates that the capacity of existing plants and firm new builds in the MIS will not be sufficient to cover demand thereafter. Therefore, based on the results of the IPA’s study, Al Suwadi Power is expected to remain economically useful in the post-PPA period.

Longtermavailabilityofnaturalgas

Natural gas is the primary fuel used at the Plant. A long term NGSA entered into by Al Suwadi Power secures the supply over the contracted PPA period. Under the NGSA, the MoG is responsible for the procurement and delivery to the Plant of all of its natural gas requirements. All gas delivered to the Plant by the MoG must meet minimum quality standards. Any increase in the price of gas charged by MoG is directly passed through in the PPA entered by Al Suwadi Power with OPWP. Also, Al Suwadi Power is not responsible for and shielded against failures of MoG to deliver gas in accordance with the provisions set out in the NGSA. Therefore, the Plant’s gas procurement risk is largely mitigated in terms of quality, quantity and price. In the event, among others, of the non-availability of natural gas or a disruption in the natural gas supply system, Al Suwadi Power has an obligation under the PPA to maintain a backup fuel supply for five days of full load at the Site, which it complies with at all times. In the event that the PPA is extended, the NGSA will be automatically extended.

ExperiencedManagement

Al Suwadi Power benefits from an experienced Management team in addition to the experienced personnel employed by STOMO. Collectively, the Plant benefits from extensive management expertise and operational knowledge accumulated through decades of collective experience. The presence of such experienced professionals, Management and Shareholders also contributes to the pursuit of good corporate governance and ensures that Al Suwadi Power also benefits from the senior management expertise of the Project Founders’ organizations.

The presence of such experienced professionals and Management is important for present and future success and achievement of business strategies.

Technology and Processes

DescriptionofthePlant

The Plant (Barka-3 IPP) is located approximately 80km northwest of Muscat in Oman, and is in the vicinity of the existing Barka-1 and Barka-2 IWPPs. The facility entered into full commercial operation on 4 April 2013.

The Plant consists of two Siemens AG SGT5-4000F gas turbines (GT), two triple pressure heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) and a Siemens AG SST5-5000 steam turbine (ST). The condenser is cooled via a once through seawater system. Seawater is extracted by a submerged pipe intake and discharged through a seal-pit and diffusers. The gas turbines are fitted with by-pass stacks to enable the operation in open cycle. Although capable of open cycle operation, the normal operating mode of the Plant is in combined cycle (CCGT) for higher thermal efficiency. At site reference conditions of 50°C ambient temperature and 30% relative humidity, the Plant has a net power capacity of approximately 744 MW at COD.

With this technology, the energy for electricity generation is obtained from the combustion of natural gas. Hot combustion gases formed by the combustion of natural gas drive a gas turbine, which, in turn, rotates an alternator to produce electricity. After driving the gas turbine, the exhaust gases are still hot enough to produce steam in a heat recovery boiler (HRSG). The steam generated in the heat recovery boiler drives a steam turbine, which rotates another

alternator to produce additional electricity. The CCGT technology is well proven and more efficient than conventional power plant technology. The process is explained in more detail below:

The Plant is connected to the gas transmission infrastructure owned by MoG and operated by OGC and to the main interconnected transmission system at 220 kV which is owned and operated by the OETC. The Plant is designed for black start operation by means of black start diesel generators which are capable of starting the plant.

The auxiliary power for the Plant is derived from the Plant’s internal electrical system with back up from the grid. The equipment and facilities required for the operation, testing, maintenance and repair of the equipment (for example control room, laboratory, stores, workshop, etc.) are available on site.

GasTurbines

Each gas turbine consists of an air compressor, a combustor, a turbine and an exhaust. Air is drawn in from the atmosphere and compressed before it is fed into the combustor. Gas fuel, which is drawn from gas pipelines, burns in the combustor in the presence of the compressed air from the compressor. The gases produced in the combustor, a

Page 54: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

mixture of high temperature and high pressure hot gases, drive the turbine. The rotational energy of the turbine rotates the alternator, which produces electricity. The voltage level is stepped up through a transformer before it is fed to the grid.

The SGT5-4000F gas turbine concept builds on more than 40 years’ experience with heavy-duty gas turbines at Siemens and Siemens-Westinghouse. The model of SGT5-4000F has been adopted from previous gas turbine models, including the following features:

- 15-stage high-efficiency compressor;

- annular combustion chamber with 24 hybrid burners for uniform flow and temperature distribution, including a full ceramic heat shield to minimize cooling air requirements and allow for higher temperatures;

- improved turbine blade design to withstand high thermal stresses using a heat resistant alloy and an additional ceramic coating. They are cooled internally through a complex array of air channels and externally by film cooling. These measures combine to ensure a long blade service life;

- fail-safe hydraulic turbine blade tip clearance control for optimized radial clearances and hence maximimum performance; and

- easy-to-service design thanks to an annular walkin combustion chamber, which enables inspection of hot-gas-path parts without cover lift

This combustion system combines all the advantages of optimal combustion, including:

- high thermal efficiency;

- low NOx and CO emissions;

- low pressure drop; and

- high operating flexibility.

HeatRecoverySteamGenerators

Hot exhaust gases from the individual gas turbines are directed into naturally circulated HRSGs, which generate steam at three pressure levels. The high pressure steam from each of the heat recovery steam generators is combined in a common header before passing to the steam turbine. The same configuration exists for the intermediate pressure and for the low pressure steam, allowing maximum operational flexibility.

A condensate pre-heater is integrated in the HRSG. This arrangement enables higher efficiencies of the combined cycle power plant, by using the exhaust gas energy to preheat the condensate before it passes to the feedwater pump and into the LP-system.

SteamTurbine

The steam generated in the heat recovery boilers is used to generate additional electricity through a steam turbine (SST5-5000) and a separate alternator. The steam turbine consists of a combined high/intermediate pressure and low pressure turbine. The steam turbine blades provide high efficiency due to an advanced blading technology.

Generators

The gas turbine and steam turbine generators are of two-pole type, with direct radial hydrogen cooling for the rotor winding and indirect hydrogen-cooling for the stator winding.

The hydrogen filled generator casing is a pressure-resistant and gas-tight construction and is equipped with end shields at each end. The hydrogen cooler is subdivided into four sections. Two sections are arranged at each generator end.

Technical Parameters

Capacity: Capacity of a Plant is defined as the total electrical power (MW), which can be delivered by the power plant under specific environmental conditions (site reference conditions). The contractual capacity of Al Suwadi Power under the PPA is c. 744 MW7 . The original net capacity at reference conditions in the original performance test was above 745 MW. This capacity is expected to decline over the period of PPA due to normal degradation of Plant but is expected to remain above c.736.5 MW and meet contractual requirements under the PPA.

Availability: Availability is the amount of time the plant is technically capable of generating power as per specifications. As per the project agreements, Al Suwadi Power shall be available for 100% of time in summer and 85% of the time in winter. The projected plan nevertheless assumes conservatively that the power plant is in forced outages 1.25%-2.00% of the time.

PlantEfficiency(HeatRate): The efficiency of the power plant is measured in terms of the amount of heat required to produce one unit of power. Demonstrated efficiency of 58.1% in the original performance test of Al Suwadi Power was better than contractual requirements under the PPA, thus bringing a marginal upside in terms of revenues to the Company.

Operation and Maintenance

The Plant is operated and maintained throughout the term of the PPA by STOMO. STOMO is primarily responsible for Plant availability, efficiency, power output capacities and operational cost control. STOMO operates the Plant in accordance with applicable environmental laws and is responsible for operating the Plant efficiently, whilst ensuring the correct spare parts are available and that the staff is properly qualified and trained. The O&M Agreement contains provisions for incentives and penalties, at ordinary arms’ length commercial terms, linked to achievement of certain availability and heat rate targets.

The payment terms of the O&M Agreement are fixed and split into three components (Euro, US Dollars and Omani Rial portions). Pursuant to the terms of the PPA, Al Suwadi Power is compensated for indexation in respect of both Omani Rials and US Dollar costs; however, the payments to STOMO designed to cover the long term maintenance contract costs with Siemens AG are in Euro, which means that the Plant is exposed to indexation and foreign exchange risk in respect of the Euro payments. In order to mitigate the foreign exchange exposure in respect to the above mentioned Euro payments, Al Suwadi Power has entered into foreign exchange hedging arrangements.

Revenue Overview

DuringthetermofthePPA

The PPA sets out the terms of generation and supply of power to OPWP until 31 March 2028. The PPA imposes an obligation on Al Suwadi Power to operate and maintain the Plant at an agreed level of availability with respect to the guaranteed contracted power capacity following the COD. The PPA also imposes an obligation to operate the Plant in a safe manner and within its design parameters.

Since the COD, the Plant has a contracted net electricity generating capacity of 744 MW8 and sells the electrical energy output to OPWP. In return, Al Suwadi Power receives a tariff covering power capacity charges, electrical energy charges and fuel charges from OPWP, described as follows:

• The power capacity charge is payable for each hour during which the Plant is available, irrespective of how much power is actually dispatched, and is designed to cover fixed costs, including fixed operating and maintenance costs, debt service, insurance costs, taxes and return on capital.

• The electrical energy charge is designed to cover variable operating costs of generation, excluding fuel costs, and is payable according to the electrical energy delivered under the PPA.

• The fuel charge is calculated based on the consumption of natural gas calculated by the Plant model for electrical energy and water output delivered and is in effect a virtual pass-through cost.

Due to higher electricity demand in the summer period in Oman and the tariff structure under the PPA, where seasonality factors are applied to the capacity charges, higher revenues and operating profits are observed and expected during the summer period (from April to September), corresponding to the second and third quarters of the year, compared to the first and fourth quarters. Planned maintenance of the Plant is also conducted in the winter period due to lower electricity demand, further accentuating the seasonality of Al Suwadi Power’s revenues. Under the terms of the PPA, there is no allowance for planned outages during the summer, resulting in higher capacity payments during that period. Payments are denominated in Omani Rials. The investment charge element of the capacity charge is linked to the OMR-US$ exchange rate. The fixed and variable operation and maintenance charges are linked to the OMR-US$ exchange rate, the prescribed US inflation rate, and the Omani inflation rate for a portion of the total charge. The PPA defines the OMR-US$ exchange rate as the mid-rate of the OMR-US$ spot rate as published by the CBO in the foreign exchange rates indications of the relevant billing period.

BeyondthetermofthePPA

The Management expects that the Plant will operate well beyond the term of the PPA (15 years being significantly shorter than what is applied in other countries for single buyer PPAs), and the Plant will be well-placed to meet the forecast long-term demand for power in the MIS. After the expiry of the term of the PPA, the PPA will either be extended or, if the power market in Oman is liberalised during this period, the power produced by the Plant will be sold into a merchant market (into a power pool and/or to eligible customers). An internationally reputed consultant, IPA, calculated this post PPA asset value, by means of a market based assessment.

An independent study was conducted by IPA, for the Financial Adviser & Issue Manager on behalf of the investors, to assess the evolution of market structure and the value of Al Suwadi Power under various scenarios after the expiry of the PPA. IPA is an economic consultancy based in London specialising in electricity, gas, renewables, carbon and water, providing services in pricing and markets, trading and risk, regulation, project economics, financing and private sector participation across these sectors, and is one of the leading specialised energy practices in Europe. In 2013, peak and annual demand for electricity in the MIS were 4,816 MW and 23.8 TWh, respectively. By 2028, when the PPA is due to expire, these are expected to grow to 11,898 MW and 61.0 TWh, respectively.

Whether the Project stays online or closes after the expiry of the PPA, IPA’s analysis anticipates that the capacity of existing plants and firm new builds in the MIS will not be sufficient to cover demand thereafter. Therefore, IPA forecasts that the Plant will have value after the PPA expires.

On 30 January 2014 OPWP announced its intention to introduce new power and water procurement arrangements for the MIS in order to maintain market transparency and increase competition9. The proposals include the introduction of a “spot market” and more flexible processes for awarding new or extending existing P(W)PAs. Nevertheless, the single buyer approach has served Oman well and the risks are well known and all projects have been bankable with regional and international banks alike, and OPWP is expected to retain its role as the single buyer for electricity and desalinated water.

Under the single buyer approach, OPWP can be expected to use an “avoided cost” methodology when assessing the merits of extending offtake agreements, leaving it indifferent between procuring capacity and services from new or existing operators. Plans to introduce a “spot market” suggest the potential evolution towards a liberalised market approach. However, IPA results show that the post-PPA results of the Project are expected to be very similar for both approaches on both technical and commercial grounds.

IPA Power Market Modelling

IPA uses a version of its proprietary ECLIPSE® modelling platform to forecast the dispatch and capacity developments in the markets for electricity in the MIS. This was used to establish market and contract pricing for electricity and the dispatch profile for the Project in Al Suwadi Power’s base case.

The key assumptions for the power modelling are shown in the table below. IPA believes the case outlined below provides a reasonable central outcome that can be used to assess the post-PPA value of the Project.

National energy strategy in Oman is being studied and formulated by the PAEW. Until a new strategy is outlined, it is reasonable to assume that current energy procurement policies will continue. The new strategy can be anticipated to promote renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. Nevertheless, IPA expects that Oman will still rely on gas-fired plants for most of its power generation. Even if this were to lead Oman to import greater quantities of natural gas, this should not be a significant problem since the Middle East holds some of the major natural gas resources in the world. Iran and Qatar alone have the world’s 2nd and 3rd largest proven reserves.

Details of Key Documentation

• Project Founders’ Agreement

The PFA was executed between the Project Founders and EHC on 10 August 2010. The PFA sets out various warranties and undertakings given by the Project Founders to EHC in respect of, amongst other things, listing pursuant to a public offering and disposal of the Shares. The PFA contains restrictions on share disposals and provides for the procurement of the conversion of Al Suwadi Power to a listed SAOG from an unlisted SAOC, and the public offering of 35 per cent of the Sharesof Al Suwadi Power on the MSM. The PFA states that the listing of the Offer Shares must occur during a period of four years from the date of the incorporation of Al Suwadi Power. That is, on or before 1 August 2014.

If all of the Offer Shares are not fully subscribed in the first Offer Period, the Project Founders are required to continue offering the relevant Offer Shares for sale on an annual basis for the three year period following the initial listing. During this three year period, EHC will have an option to acquire the balance of any Offer Shares that were not subscribed according to the pricing mechanism set out in the PFA.

The PFA contains various undertakings given by the Project Founders, including, but not limited to: (i) compliance with the listing and offer obligations contained in the PFA in relation to the IPO of Al Suwadi Power; (ii) adherence with respect to the disposal of Shares in Al Suwadi Power; (iii) on and from the Effective Date up to but excluding the date on which the Project Founders complete the IPO, the lead Founder under the PFA10, is required to, directly or indirectly, hold and maintain at least 35 per cent of the Shares in Al Suwadi; and (iv) on and from the date on which the Project Founders complete the IPO up to and including the third anniversary of the COD, the lead Founder under the PFA is required to, directly or indirectly, hold and maintain at least 22.75 per cent of the Shares in Al Suwadi.

• Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

The PPA was executed between Al Suwadi Power and OPWP on 10 August 2010. The PPA details the terms agreed between Al Suwadi Power and OPWP pursuant to which Al Suwadi Power shall undertake the Project.

The PPA sets out a number of obligations which Al Suwadi Power must adhere to during the operation period of the Plant. Amongst other things, Al Suwadi Power must, acting as a reasonable and prudent operator, operate and maintain the Plant in such a manner so as to ensure that the Plant is capable of operating and maintaining power production.

Under the PPA, Al Suwadi Power is obliged, at its own cost, to procure, install, test, commission, own, operate and maintain the metering system and all components thereof in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Grid Code and, additionally, (to the extent not contrary to the Grid Code) in accordance with the PPA.

Under the PPA, Al Suwadi is obliged to exclusively sell electrical energy output to OPWP and in return, receives from OPWP capacity charges, electrical energy charges and fuel charges. Capacity charges are designed to cover fixed costs (including debt service and return on capital); electrical energy charges are designed to cover variable operating costs of generation (excluding fuel costs). The fuel charge is a pass through of the gas price under the NGSA (as defined below) to the extent that the contracted fuel efficiency is met. Payments under the PPA are denominated in OMR and Al Suwadi is safeguarded under the PPA against RO/US$ exchange rate adjustments and also against inflation for the component of the tariff that covers fixed operation costs.

10 The lead founder under the PFA, at the time of its execution was Suez-Tractebel, whose current denomination is International Power.

51

In addition to complying with the conditions of the Generation License, Al Suwadi Power is under an obligation, acting as a reasonable and prudent operator, to develop, maintain and update at regular intervals (and at least once every year) a quality assurance manual, an occupational and environmental health and safety policy, and an operation and control philosophy.

The PPA sets out standard representations and warranties that Al Suwadi Power is required to give and apply. Amongst others, Al Suwadi Power has represented and warranted that it will not engage in any business or activity other than that permitted by its Generation Licence.

The PPA contains provisions to allow for refinancing and to share refinancing gains between OPWP and Al Suwadi Power. OPWP shall be entitled to receive a fifty (50) per cent share of any refinancing gain arising from a qualifying refinancing as defined under the PPA. At Financial Close of the Project, a financing gain was already shared with OPWP based on assumed refinancing terms through a capacity charge reduction. Therefore, Al Suwadi Power will only share additional refinancing gain, to the extent it is able to implement a refinancing at better terms than initially agreed with OPWP.

Al Suwadi Power is under an obligation to obtain OPWP’s prior written consent to any qualifying refinancing and both Al Suwadi Power and OPWP are obligated to act in good faith with respect to any potential or proposed refinancing. OPWP however, shall not withhold or delay its consent to a qualifying refinancing to obtain a greater share of the refinancing gain than it is entitled to, i.e. 50%. The share of refinancing gains due to OPWP may be paid as a reduction in the capacity charges over the remaining term of the PPA, as a single payment, or a combination of a single payment or a reduction in the capacity charges.

The PPA provides for various buyer risk events which outline the relief that Al Suwadi Power will receive should the specified events occur that hinder Al Suwadi Power from performing its obligations under the PPA. The burden of establishing the existence of a buyer risk event and its impact is upon Al Suwadi Power. If a relevant buyer risk event is established in accordance with the terms set out in the PPA, Al Suwadi Power will not be liable for any failure to perform or any delay in its performance and will continue to be entitled to be paid capacity charges during the relevant period. In the event that it is determined that a material adverse change has occurred and such material adverse change was caused by a buyer risk event a buyer risk event or events constitute a material adverse change, OPWP shall propose a mechanism to Al Suwadi Power in order to adjust the power capacity charge and/or the electrical energy charge, as appropriate, or reimburse Al Suwadi Power by some other agreed reimbursement mechanism.

The PPA also provides for various force majeure events that may hinder Al Suwadi Power from performing its obligations under the PPA. The onus of proving the existence and effect of a force majeure event is on Al Suwadi Power. If it can be established that a force majeure event has occurred, or will occur, and that it could not have been mitigated by Al Suwadi Power, acting as a reasonable and prudent operator, Al Suwadi Power will be relieved from liability for any failure to perform its obligations under the PPA and the term of the PPA will be extended by the period for which the force majeure event hindered Al Suwadi Power from performing its obligations. Furthermore, Al Suwadi Power shall be entitled to continued receipt of power capacity charges to the extent of its availability during the force majeure delay period.

Subject to certain force majeure, OPWP risk events and termination provisions contained therein, the term of the PPA commenced on 10 August 2010 and expires on 31 March 2028, (approximately 15 years after the COD).

As at 31 December 2013, Al Suwadi Power had received invoice dispute notices from OPWP aggregating to USD 330.4 thousands of disputed payments outstanding, which mostly relate to the fuel component of the invoices, pending approval by OPWP of the final Plant model (inclusive of the fuel component). Al Suwadi Power has made full provision for the disputed payments outstanding in the 2013 financial statements. Al Suwadi Power is proactively working with OPWP on this matter, so as to minimize the delays of the said approval. Once the invoicing dispute is resolved, any unused portion of the provision will be released to Al Suwadi Power’s income statement.

• Natural Gas Sales Agreement (NGSA)

The NGSA was entered into between MoG and Al Suwadi Power on 31 August 2010. It establishes the terms upon which Al Suwadi Power purchases natural gas as feedstock for the Plant from the MoG. The NGSA term is linked to the PPA term and, therefore expires on 31 March 2028. The NGSA term will automatically be extended to reflect any extensions to the term of the PPA.

In accordance with the NGSA, natural gas will be supplied up to the gas delivery point of the Plant. Al Suwadi Power has no obligation to pay the MoG for any natural gas delivered and accepted until Al Suwadi Power has received the amount of the PPA payment from OPWP (provided that Al Suwadi Power has invoiced OPWP properly and on a timely basis, OPWP has not exercised a right of set-off under the PPA, and Al Suwadi Power has given notice to OPWP and the MoG). If Al Suwadi Power receives part of the PPA payment, it is required to pay the corresponding percentage of the monthly invoice amount for natural gas, with the remainder due upon receipt of the unpaid portion.

The maximum quantity of Natural Gas that Al Suwadi Power may nominate and take under the NGSA on any day and which MoG shall be obliged to deliver shall be 129,162 MMBTUs at the LHV of 845 BTU/scf.

According to the NGSA, the price payable by Al Suwadi Power for natural gas delivered to and accepted by Al Suwadi Power shall be equal to the OMR equivalent of USD 1.50 per MMBTU, inclusive of all transportation costs of natural gas to the gas delivery point, and all taxes, duties and other imposts applicable to the sale of natural gas to or the purchase of natural gas by Al Suwadi Power.

The NGSA also states the following:

“notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time [the gas price shall] be equal to the price for natural gas which is utilised in substantially the majority of the electricity generation sector in Oman”

It should be noted that the price of natural gas may be readjusted by the MoG, a matter on which the NGSA makes no further comment. However, the gas price will be adjusted in the PPA to the same extent.

MoG’s overall aggregate liability for any claims howsoever arising out of or in connection with the NGSA in each PPA contract year (including any claims arising under or in connection with shortfall quantities) shall be limited to OMR 7,500,000 in each PPA contract year.

The NGSA is terminable by Al Suwadi Power as a result of the dissolution of the MoG or a material breach of the NGSA by the MoG, although alternative sources of natural gas would need to be secured. For Al Suwadi Power, events of default include insolvency, failure to make a payment where the amount due exceeds OMR 200,000 within 30 days of the due date, and material breaches which are not remedied within 30 days of notice.

• Electrical Connection Agreement (ECA)

The ECA was entered into between OETC, a wholly owned Government company established in 2003, and Al Suwadi Power on 28 December 2011. The ECA sets out the terms and conditions upon and subject to which OETC and Al Suwadi Power have agreed that Al Suwadi Power shall connect to the Transmission System. It establishes a framework between OETC and Al Suwadi Power to provide for, amongst other things:

a. the payment by Al Suwadi Power to OETC of the connection fee; and

b. enforcement of the Grid Code as between OETC and Al Suwadi Power.

The ECA became effective from the date of its execution and shall remain in force for an initial period of 30 years (the “Initial Term”) and shall continue in force beyond the expiry of the Initial Term unless and until either party terminates the ECA on six month’s prior notice to the other, provided that no such notice shall take effect before the expiry of the Initial Term.

• Usufruct Agreements

The UAS and UATA were executed between the MoH and Al Suwadi Power on 15 August 2010. The UAS and UATA constitute the land lease agreements in relation to the Site and the Temporary Areas. The UAS has a term of 25 years from the date of ratification of the UAS by the Government, subject to a further extension of 25 years at the option of Al Suwadi Power. Al Suwadi Power is under an obligation to only use the Site for the stated purpose as described in the UAS and UATA.

According to the UAS, the MoH is obliged to provide the Site to Al Suwadi Power free and clear of any right adverse to the usufruct right so granted including, but not limited to, any third party Claim that may be made relating to the Site. MoH shall also ensure that Al Suwadi Power has undisturbed enjoyment of the Site throughout the term of the UAS.

The usufruct right under the UATA is granted for the period commencing on the date of ratification of the UATA and expires three months after the COD. It may be noted that pursuant to an application sent by Al Suwadi Power on the 20 March 2013, the UATA was extended by the MoH to 31 March 2014 and that a further application has been submitted to extend the UATA up to 31 March 2015.

According to the UATA, MoH is obliged to give Temporary Areas to Al Suwadi Power free and clear of any right adverse to the usufruct right so granted including, but not limited to, any third party claim that may be made relating to the Temporary Areas. MoH shall also ensure that Al Suwadi Power has undisturbed enjoyment of the Temporary Areas throughout the term of the UATA.

• Operation and Maintenance Agreement (O&M Agreement)

The O&M Agreement was entered into between STOMO and Al Suwadi Power on 24 September 2010. It sets out the provision of O&M services by STOMO to the Plant. The O&M Agreement requires STOMO to operate and maintain the Plant until 31 March 2028 (approximately 15 years after the COD), provided that the term of the O&M Agreement may be modified to reflect any extension of the term of the PPA as may be determined between Al Suwadi Power and OPWP in accordance with the terms of the PPA.

Under the O&M Agreement, STOMO is responsible for:

• the operation, maintenance and repairs of the Plant on behalf of Al Suwadi Power;

• the generation of electricity for supply to OPWP;

• managing spare parts, tools, materials and consumables required for the operation and maintenance of the Plant;

• the direction and supervision of staff at the Plant and ensuring safety of the Plant, Al Suwadi Power staff and visitors of the Plant; and

• mobilisation and training of human resources.

The fees payable under the Agreement consist of (i) a fixed monthly fee; (ii) a variable fee. All fees are subject to indexation, based on Omani, Euro and US$ inflation rates.

The O&M Agreement contains provisions for incentives and penalties, on ordinary arms’ length commercial terms, linked to achievement of certain availability and heat rate targets.

• The O&M Guarantee

The O&M Guarantee has been issued by GDF SUEZ CC SCRL, an affiliate of GDF SUEZ, in order to guarantee a portion of the payment obligations of STOMO to Al Suwadi Power arising under the O&M Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the O&M Guarantee.

• EPC Contract

The EPC Contract was executed between Siemens AG, GSECC and Al Suwadi Power on 15 September 2010. Siemens AG and GSECC were jointly appointed as the EPCC under the EPC Contract to engineer, design, manufacture, supply, procure, transport, erect, construct, install, complete, test, commission, warrant and make good the Plant and associated facilities.

As per the EPC Contract, the EPCOD was scheduled for 1 May 2012. Actual EPCOD was achieved on 18 August 2012. Due to the delay in EPCOD, OPWP charged liquidated damages. The OPWP liquidated damages were included fully in the settlement between the EPCC and the Company as described below. The OPWP LDs have been fully settled and there is no outstanding amount.

As per the PPA and the EPC Contract, the COD was scheduled for 1 April 2013. Actual COD was achieved on 4 April 2013, within just three days of the Scheduled COD. Al Suwadi Power has invoiced LD’s to the EPCC. No LD has been accrued as payable since OPWP has granted relief for the 3 days. The achievement by Al Suwadi Power of the COD within just three days of the Scheduled COD is a significant achievement on its part and is comparatively better than the milestone achievement feats accomplished by other power companies in Oman, with the exception of Al Batinah Power, who also achieved COD virtually on time.

On 28 September 2013, Al Suwadi entered into the Settlement Agreement with the EPCC which detailed all outstanding matters between the two parties. As part of this Settlement Agreement, the EPCC agreed to compensate Al Suwadi for claims regarding LDs and other payments to be made by the EPC Contractor to the Company.

Furthermore, the OPWP LDs were included fully and settled pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

CashSweepMechanism

The Finance Documents includes a mandatory cash sweep mechanism as seen in most of the listed power companies in Oman (in relation to the commercial tranche only). This cash sweep mechanism, set out in the CTA directs the operating revenues generated by the Project into a waterfall of project accounts.

The presence of a mandatory cash sweep mechanism in Al Suwadi Power’s financing arrangements means that Al Suwadi Power’s ability to pay dividends may be impacted in the period of cash sweep as operating revenues may only be paid into the dividend distribution account when the project accounts set out in the CTA have been fully funded. For further details of Al Suwadi Power’s dividend policy, please see “Chapter XV – Dividend Policy” of this Prospectus.

DebtServiceReserve

Under the terms of the Finance Documents, Al Suwadi Power is required to maintain a cash balance (or Shareholders’ credit support) equivalent to six months’ of future debt service payments in a separate bank account pledged in favour of its lenders. The lenders are entitled to withdraw amounts from this account if Al Suwadi Power does not meet its obligations as defined under the Finance Documents or in other events resulting in a situation of default on its obligations. As at the date of this Prospectus, Al Suwadi Power provides the entire debt service reserve amount through Shareholders’ credit support.

DebtServiceProvisionAccount

Under the terms of the Finance Documents, Al Suwadi Power is required to maintain a debt service provisioning account until October 2024. Al Suwadi Power shall procure that the debt service provisioning account is funded by cash from the completion date. Such account was established to be credited by the repayment date which comes after the end of each summer period, where higher revenues are observed due to the seasonality factors applied to the capacity charges under the PPA, and such credited amount to be drawn on the next repayment date which comes after the relevant winter period to meet the debt service payments. The required provisioning amounts were determined at financial close of the Project.

MaintenanceReserve

Under the terms of the Finance Documents, Al Suwadi Power is required to maintain a maintenance reserve account which is to be funded (whether by cash, credit support or any combination thereof) with US$ 3,750,000 on each Repayment Date as defined under the CTA, from the 16th Repayment Date until the 19th Repayment Date up to an aggregate amount of US$15,000,000 to cover potential costs related to a life time extension programme.

At any time between the 15th Repayment Date until the 18th Repayment Date, the Lenders’ Independent Engineer shall assess the cost of carrying out the lifetime extension programme. If the estimated cost is less than US$15,000,000, then the amount to be deposited shall be reduced accordingly.

Al Suwadi Power may only withdraw amounts from the reserve account to pay the costs of implementing the lifetime extension programme, if recommended by the Operator. In the event the Operator has recommended that no lifetime extension programme is required prior to End Date and the Lenders’ Independent Engineer is satisfied with the same, then all amounts shall be transferred to the distribution account. As of the date of the Prospectus, Al Suwadi Power expects the entire maintenance reserve amount to be covered through Shareholders’ credit support. In addition, based on the operating history of Al Suwadi Power, Management believes, as of the date of this Prospectus, that the lifetime extension will be carried out after the End Date.

RepaymentSchedule

The aggregate amount of drawdowns under the facilities (other than the Commercial Facility) is repayable in full in 28 half-yearly instalments commencing from 31 October 2013 with the final instalment being due on 31 March 2027. The Commercial Facility is repayable in full in 30 half-yearly instalments commencing from 31 October 2013 with the final instalment being due on 31 March 2028.

Chapter XIII

Risk FactorsPrior to investing in Offer Shares, prospective Applicants should carefully consider the risk factors relating to Al Suwadi Power’s business and industry described below together with all other information contained in this Prospectus, including the financial statements set out in “Chapter XXII – Financial Statements” of this Prospectus,before making any investment decision relating to the Offer Shares.These risks and uncertainties are not the only issues that Al Suwadi Power faces; additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Al Suwadi Power or that Al Suwadi Power currently believes to be immaterial may also have a material adverse or beneficial effect on its financial condition or business success. The occurrence of any or a combination of the following events could have a material adverse or beneficial effect on Al Suwadi Power’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects and cause the market price of the Shares to fall significantly and investors to lose all or part of their investment. Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set out below, Al Suwadi Power is not in a position to specify or quantify the financial or other risks mentioned herein.

Risks Relating to the Project

Limitedoperatinghistory.

The Plant commenced full commercial operation on 4 April 2013 and, consequently, the Plant has only operated for approximately 12 months. Accordingly, prospective investors have limited information with which to evaluate the operating performance of the Plant and its current or future prospects or financial results and performance.

The business prospects and financial performance of Al Suwadi Power must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by projects with a limited operating history, including challenges in planning and forecasting accurately due to limited historical data, which means the past results of Al Suwadi Power cannot be relied on as an indication of future performance. Accordingly, the inability to successfully identify and address risks and difficulties could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares.

Operationalandtechnologicalrisks.

The operational risks may prevent Al Suwadi Power from performing its obligations under the PPA, which is its source of revenue and, in certain extreme situations such failure to perform could result in OPWP terminating the PPA. Additionally, Al Suwadi Power’s current financial covenants prohibit it from diversifying its operations in the future and it is unlikely that Al Suwadi Power will be able to generate revenue or cash flow, except through the PPA during the PPA period. However, the business plan of Al Suwadi Power accounts for reasonable average outage rates to cover the risk of forced outages for power production. In certain years depending on the number of forced outages, there could be positive or negative variances. The business plan and projections also account for degradation of the technical performance. The plant outage risk is minimized by the utilization of multiple units to produce power.

The technological risk is considered low as the Plant uses proven technology from renowned international suppliers like Siemens. STOMO (a GDF SUEZ majority owned company and the biggest operator for operation and maintenance of power and desalination Plants in Oman) is the operator for the Plant. All operational risks are generally mitigated by STOMO’s vast experience in respect of similar power plants in Oman. A substantive portion of the O&M risk is transferred to STOMO under the O&M agreement by Al Suwadi Power. Further operational risks are mitigated by the following risk mitigation factors:

i. The operator is incentivized to maintain the highest possible plant performance through a capped bonus/penalty mechanism.

ii. The operator is incentivized to maintain the highest possible plant performance through a capped bonus/penalty mechanism.

iii. A sufficient number of spare parts are available to guarantee swift repairs.

iv. A strategic stock of back-up fuel oil is available on site to cover five days of operations; till date there has been no interruption of gas supply and the Plant has never been asked to run on fuel oil except for proving annual performance testing on fuel oil.

v. Major overhauls are contractually permitted and the allowed planned outage rates are higher than what is actually used (during the winter period).

PostPPArisk.

The 15-year term of the PPA matures before the Plant reaches its expected lifetime. Consequently, a substantial part of the value is expected to be realized beyond the PPA. However, at that moment, the Plant, as any other plant with an expiring off-take agreement, will face new risks such as:

• Gas supply and price risk

• Market risk (price and capacity)

• Competition from recent, more efficient technologies

• Regulatory risk

• Operational risk

• Customer credit risk

• Macro-economic risk

IPA, as the independent professional adviser, has evaluated the value of Al Suwadi Power for the period post PPA, taking the risks of different market environment into account. Kindly refer to section titled Revenue Overview in “Chapter X – Description of the Company and Business Overview” for summary of the IPA report. Kahrabel, Al Suwadi Power’s majority Shareholder, belongs to GDF SUEZ group that has a vast experience in managing such risks in similar environments such as Europe, the United States or Australia, where it operates many power plants.

IncreasedoperatingandmaintenancecostsorcapitalexpendituremaynotberecoveredunderthePPA.

Operating the Plant involves, among other things, general technical, legal, regulatory and other factors that may be beyond Al Suwadi Power’s control. Although there are provisions within the PPA to protect the Company from changes in law, changes in some factors could make it more expensive for Al Suwadi Power to operate the Plant than projected, and could require additional capital expenditures or could reduce revenues. Additionally, similarly to any industrial installation, complications with engineering design and implementation or technology or equipment failure could result in reduced plant availability or production and/or higher-than-anticipated capital expenditures and/or operating and maintenance costs.

The rates at which the capacity charges under the PPA were calculated and fixed for its 15-year term, subject to specified escalations, and cost increases higher than those projected at the outset may not be recovered. The Project could be subject to changes in the operating cost structure over the 15-year term of the PPA, including on account of reasons relating to (i) operations; (ii) maintenance, repair and overhaul of plant and equipment; (iii) procurement of backup fuel; (iv) backup fuel transportation; (v) environmental compliance; (vi) ground rent; (vii) utility services; and (viii) insurance.

However, since the majority of the operating and maintenance costs are contracted for 15 years with STOMO, the risk of increased O&M costs for the Plant remains limited.

DependenceonOPWPasthesolecustomer.

OPWP is the sole purchaser of all electricity output from the Plant and also from the other licensed generation and production operators in Oman. As such, OPWP does not currently face any competition. If OPWP were to cease fulfilling its obligations under the PPA, Al Suwadi Power would not be able to sell the Plant’s capacity and output to another purchaser. However, there can be no assurance that the Government will not open the electricity markets to competitors or allow bypass sales of power by providers of generation or production capacity to persons other than

62

Page 73: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

OPWP in the future. In addition, no assurance can be made that OPWP’s role in the sector will not change in the future. The introduction of competition in Oman or the change of OPWP’s role in the sector could have a material effect (adverse or beneficial) on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares.

Al Suwadi Power earns its revenues under the long term PPA. Impairment of revenues is mitigated by the following risk mitigation factors:

a. Capacity charge earned in relation to the Project’s availability are designed to cover all: (i) investment costs, (ii) fixed operation and maintenance costs and (iii) financing costs and taxes.

b. OPWP (as the off-taker and the contractual counterparty responsible to pay, inter alia capacity charge), is an entity with a high credit rating with and a good track record of timely payments. Al Suwadi Power is dependent on OPWP’s creditworthiness and the on-going financial support it receives from EHC and the Government from time to time. If OPWP’s creditworthiness materially deteriorates and/or if EHC or the Government ceases to provide the requisite financial support to OPWP, OPWP may no longer be able to fulfil its obligations under the PPA and its ability to make payments under the PPA may be impaired and accordingly, Al Suwadi Power’s revenue may be adversely affected. This is considered as unlikely.

c. The obligation of Al Suwadi Power to make payments to MoG for gas delivered under the NGSA is subject to fuel payments being received from OPWP under the PPA. Hence, there is no payment risk related to gas.

d. Capacity revenues are based on availability and are not dependent on actual dispatch.

OPWP is entitled to terminate the PPA for default by Al Suwadi Power which, if not cured within agreed cure periods by Al Suwadi Power, will give rise to such termination right. In such a case, Al Suwadi Power will lose its sole source of revenue. The extension of the PPA at the expiry of its term is also dependent on the agreement of OPWP. The longer-term view (post-PPA) of the Project depends greatly on the demand for electricity in the MIS. Any termination of the PPA, failure to extend the PPA at the expiry of its term, or failure to realise the forecasted revenues following termination or expiry of the PPA could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares.

NoownershipofthelandonwhichthePlantissituated.

The site used for the Plant is owned by the MoH which, under the terms of the UAS, has granted a usufruct right over the Site to Al Suwadi Power with a term of 25 years from the effective date, which may be renewed at the option of Al Suwadi Power for a further term of 25 years. If Al Suwadi Power is in material breach of the terms of the UAS, the MoH may, at its option, elect to terminate the UAS earlier, evict Al Suwadi Power from, and repossess the Site. A termination of the UAS would have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares.

Availabilityofskilledpersonnel.

Al Suwadi Power depends to a significant degree on the continued services of key personnel, both employed by it and those employed by STOMO, which is responsible for operating the Plant. Their knowledge of the power generation industry and their skills and experience are crucial elements to the success of Al Suwadi Power’s business. There are a limited number of employees on the payroll of Al Suwadi Power, as the labor-intensive operation and maintenance is outsourced under the O&M agreement to STOMO.

The loss of any member of the Board or Management or the loss of any other key employees may result in a loss of organisational focus, poor execution of operations, or an inability to identify and execute potential strategic initiatives such as expansion of capacity. The occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares. If Al Suwadi Power is eventually exposed to a discontinuity of senior executive and employees, it shall be able to resort to the human resource department support from each of its experienced Shareholders.

Transactionswithcertainrelatedparties.

Al Suwadi Power is involved in and is dependent on certain related party transactions with its shareholders and with other companies controlled by some of its Shareholders, including, but not limited to, the O&M operator, STOMO. Any inability or failure by STOMO to provide these services could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares.

Al Suwadi Power has also engaged in transactions with certain related parties, and it may continue to do so in the future. See “Chapter XVII – Related Party Transactions and Material Contracts” of this Prospectus. Conflicts of interests may arise between Al Suwadi Power and such related parties, potentially resulting in the conclusion of transactions on terms not determined by market forces. Al Suwadi Power has certain policies in place dealing with conflicts of interest and intends to abide by applicable laws and regulations relating to transactions with related parties.

RiskassociatedwithfuelsupplyandfuelpriceriskswithinthePPAperiod.

The term of the gas supply contract with MoG goes hand in hand with the PPA mitigating fuel supply risk. Al Suwadi Power is not exposed to a fuel price risk as the fuel cost is passed through to OPWP under the PPA.

Governmentrisk.

The PPA provides for full protection against the following political risks:

• War, hostilities, belligerence, insurrection or revolution in Oman

• Expropriation, requisition, confiscation, nationalization, import restriction or closure of harbors by the Government or any Ministry or Governmental authority

• Electrical connection failure

• Change of Law

Operationsaresubjecttogovernmentregulationandlicences.

Regulations that apply to Al Suwadi Powers’s business generally cover four areas: (i) corporate existence, and power and authority to conduct its business; (ii) the conduct of power generation; (iii) environmental regulation; and (iv) regulation of health and safety. Al Suwadi Power is subject to a varied and complex body of laws and regulations that both public officials and private parties may seek to enforce. Al Suwadi Power conducts its power generation operation under several licences, leases and permits and the Usufruct Agreements. Such licences, permits and usufruct may be suspended, terminated or revoked if Al Suwadi Power does not comply with the licence, permit or usufruct requirements, does not comply with any applicable emissions and other environmental requirements, fails to provide required information, becomes insolvent, fails to fulfil any capital expenditure or production obligations or does not comply with any other applicable licence, permit or usufruct conditions. In addition, the laws and regulations to which Al Suwadi Power is subject to, impose requirements on the modification, ownership and operation of the Plant. If Al Suwadi Power fails to comply with these requirements, this may prevent it from modifying or operating the Plant, and Al Suwadi Power could be subject to civil or criminal liability, fines and the imposition of clean-up obligations, including liens, to secure those obligations. Al Suwadi Power’s business could also be materially adversely or beneficially affected by changes in existing law, the interpretation of existing laws or the adoption of new laws applicable to Al Suwadi Power. The imposition of fines or penalties, or the revocation or suspension of licences, permits or usufruct arrangements could have a material adverse or beneficial effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares.

Adequateinsurancemaynotbeavailabletocoverallpotentiallosses.

Al Suwadi Power is obligated under the Project Documents and the Finance Documents to maintain a certain minimum level of insurance against certain risks. However, as a result of certain operating risks and other potential hazards associated with the power generation industry, Al Suwadi Power may from time to time become exposed to significant liabilities for which it may not have adequate insurance coverage.

64

Page 75: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

Al Suwadi Power maintains insurance for the Project, including all risks property and machinery insurance, general third-party liability insurance, and business interruption insurance, in amounts and with deductibles that Al Suwadi Power considers appropriate. There can be no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all hazards or liabilities to which Al Suwadi Power may be subject.

Further, if there are changes in the insurance markets or increases in insurance costs, Al Suwadi Power cannot provide assurance that it will be able to pass through to OPWP for reimbursement under the PPA any insurance costs in excess of those projected when Al Suwadi Power entered into the PPA. Moreover, the occurrence of a significant event that is uninsured, such as a substantial business interruption could have a material adverse effect on Al Suwadi Power’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In the event there is a total or partial loss of Al Suwadi Power’s assets, there can be no assurances that the insurance proceeds received by Al Suwadi Power would not have an adverse effect on the financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares.

DepeggingoradjustmentinOmaniRial/USDollarpeg.

Al Suwadi Power maintains its accounts, and reports its results, in Omani Rial and in US Dollars. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Omani Rial remains pegged to the US Dollar. However, there can be no assurance that the Omani Rial will not be de-pegged in the future or that the existing peg will not be adjusted in a manner that adversely or beneficially affects Al Suwadi Power. Any such de-pegging could have an adverse or beneficial effect on the financial condition of Al Suwadi Power, including the market price of the Shares.

InflationcouldincreaseAlSuwadiPower’scostsandadverselyaffectitsresultsofoperations.

Pursuant to the terms of the PPA, Al Suwadi Power revenues are compensated for indexation in respect of both USD and OMR cost inflation. Hence, the risks of variation of USD/OMR cost inflation are largely mitigated by the revenues being partially tied to an escalation formula based on a mix of US Dollar PPI and Omani Rial CPI indices. However, a portion of the payments in respect of the O&M Agreement are in euro, which means that Al Suwadi Power is to a certain extent exposed to indexation risk in respect of such euro payments.

AdversechangesinforeignexchangeandcustomdutyrateswilladverselyaffectAlSuwadiPower’sbusiness.

Al Suwadi Power has hedging arrangements in place that protect against changes in the euro exchange rate to whic hit has exposure due to euro denominated obligations under the O&M Agreement. As of the date of this Prospectus, a portion of the euro denominated payments is not covered by the hedging arrangements.

Al Suwadi Power’s ability to obtain new hedging arrangements depends on numerous factors, including general economic and market conditions, international interest rates, from banks or other financiers. There can be no assurance that such hedging arrangements will be available or, if available, that such hedging arrangements will be obtainable on terms or at a cost that are not onerous. If Al Suwadi Power is unable to hedge the foreign exchanges euro exposure, this could have a material adverse effect on Al Suwadi Power business and financial condition, including the market price of the Shares.

Limitedexperiencecomplyingwithlistedcompanyobligations.

Al Suwadi Power has operated historically as a SAOC and, accordingly, some of its Management have limited experience managing a publicly traded company and complying with laws pertaining to public companies. In particular, the significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations imposed on public companies will require substantial attention from the Management and may divert its attention away from the day-to-day management of the business, which could have an adverse effect on Al Suwadi Power’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including the market price of the Shares.

ThemarketpriceoftheSharesmayfluctuatewidelyinresponsetodifferentfactors.

Following the Offer, the market price of the Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations due to a change in sentiment in the stock market regarding the Shares or securities similar to them or in response to various facts and events, including any regulatory changes affecting Al Suwadi Power’s operations, variations in its half yearly or yearly operating results and its business developments or those of its competitors.

In addition, stock markets have from time to time experienced price and volume volatility, which, in addition to general economic and political conditions, could adversely or beneficially affect the market price for the Shares. The value of the Shares may go down as well as up, and the market price of the Shares may not reflect the underlying value of Al Suwadi Power’s business.

Dividendpolicymaynotbefulfilled.

Any payment of future dividends will be made taking into account the sufficiency of distributable reserves and liquidity in order to ensure Al Suwadi Power’s operational needs and/or business growth are not limited by the unavailability of funds, as well as Al Suwadi Power’s known contingencies and compliance with any funding facility covenants.

Dividend payments are not guaranteed and the Shareholders may decide, in their absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to pay dividends. Further, any dividend policy, to the extent implemented, will significantly restrict Al Suwadi Power’s cash reserves and may adversely affect its ability to fund unexpected capital expenditures, as well as the ability to make interest and principal repayments on its outstanding term loan facilities. As a result, Al Suwadi Power may be required to borrow additional money or raise capital by issuing equity securities, which may not be possible on attractive terms or at all. The dividends might also be impacted in case refinancing terms are different from the assumptions used in the projections.

Chapter XIV

Projected Financial InformationThe projections in this section of the Prospectus have been prepared on the basis of the financial model prepared by Al Suwadi Power. This Chapter should be read together with the information contained in “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Chapter XIII – Risk Factors” and “Chapter XXII – Financial Statements” and related notes of this Prospectus.

The results of the financial model are not projections or predictions. A financial model simply illustrates hypothetical results that are mathematically derived from specified assumptions. The financial model was designed as a financial forecasting and evaluation tool and not as an operational model. Thus, it will not readily allow comparisons of actual results against forecasts and does not include an ongoing budget comparison facility.

The inclusion of information derived from the financial model should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by Al Suwadi Power, the Selling Shareholders, the Financial Adviser & Issue Manager or any other person that the results of the financial model will be achieved. Actual capacity, availability, dispatch and production levels, heat-rate, operating, maintenance and capital costs, and interest and inflation rates will almost certainly differ from those assumed for purposes of this section. Accordingly, Al Suwadi Power’s actual performance and cash flows for any future period will almost certainly differ from those shown in this section. Prospective Applicants are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the performance or cash flows in the information derived from the following projected financial information and should make their own independent assessment of the future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition of Al Suwadi Power. KPMG has not examined the financial model and therefore does not express an opinion on it.

Assumptions used for drawing projections for the five years ending 31 December 2018:

SignificantAgreements

Al Suwadi Power has entered into the following significant agreements, which were used to arrive at the projected financial statements:

• The PPA, which establishes the terms upon which Al Suwadi Power generates and supplies electrical energy and the basis upon which Al Suwadi Power receives revenues.

• The NGSA, in respect of the purchase of natural gas as feedstock from MoG.

• The O&M Agreement, in respect of the provision of operation and maintenance services by STOMO in relation to the Plant.

• The Finance Documents, which set out the terms and conditions of the funds made available to Al Suwadi Power.

MacroeconomicAssumptions

Principal macroeconomic assumptions used by Al Suwadi Power:

• The foreign exchange rate is assumed to be OMR 0.3845 = US$1.00.

• The inflation rate for Oman, the United States and Euro is assumed to be 3.0 per cent. 2.5 per cent. and 2.0 per cent. respectively.

FinancingAssumptions

• The covenants under the Finance Documents are maintained throughout the term of the financing.

• The principal repayment profile and interest cost are set out in the Finance Documents and are summarised in “Chapter XII – Project Cost and Financing” of this Prospectus.

• The USD Commercial Tranche (representing c.19% of the total financing for Al Suwadi Power) is assumed to be refinanced by contract year 4 (May 2016) under the following terms:

o Removal of the cash sweep and extension of the maturity to 3 years beyond the PPA period i.e. until 2031.

o Lower pricing of the facility.

The refinancing assumptions factor the successful completion of the plant which removes the construction risk. The expected refinancing is assumed to achieve a reduction in the financing margins. The financing structure post completion of refinancing has been assumed to become similar to the other IPPs operational projects in Oman, wherein lenders have accepted to take post-PPA risks.

AccountingandTaxAssumptions

• The tax rate is assumed to be 12 per cent. of taxable profits. OMR 30,000 per annum is assumed to be tax-exempt from the calculation of taxable profits.

• Legal reserves are built up to a maximum of one-third of share capital by allocating 10 per cent. of net annual profit (after tax) to that account.

The following tables show the projected balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement of Al Suwadi Power for the period 2014-2018. Projected income statements and cash-flow statements are for calendar years, while projected balance sheet is as of the end of each calendar year.

Chapter XV

Dividend PolicyRight to Receive Dividends

The Offer Shares rank equally with all other Shares for any rights to dividends that may be declared and paid in respect of the financial year of Al Suwadi Power ending 31 December 2013 on a pari-passu basis, and any subsequent years. Following the Offer, the Shareholders’ register of Al Suwadi Power maintained by the MCDC will be amended to enable new Shareholders to receive dividends declared.

Dividend Policy

The Management proposes to follow a reasonable dividend payout policy, subject to debt repayments, working capital and operational expenditure obligations. The amount of annual dividends and the determination of whether to pay dividends in any year may be affected by a number of other factors, including but not limited to the business prospects, financial performance, free cash availability, covenants under the Finance Documents and the outlook for the sector.

Al Suwadi Power’s dividend policy is subject to restrictions contained in the CCL, its Articles and the covenants of the facilities agreements. These are summarised as follows:

• In accordance with the CCL, in each financial year, 10 per cent. of the net profits after tax of every company organised under Omani law must be transferred to a legal reserve until the reserve amounts to at least one-third of the corporation’s share capital. The legal reserve may not be distributed to shareholders by way of dividend. The CCL also requires a proposed dividend payment to be approved by the passing of a shareholder resolution at an annual OGM, and that a dividend must be paid out of net profits or out of optional reserves subject to the provisions of Article 106 of the CCL.

• In accordance with the Articles, any profit remaining after the transfer to the legal reserve may be distributed to shareholders or carried forward on the Board’s recommendation.

• Dividend distribution will also be limited in time to respect prepayment clauses in the facility agreements. As per the facility agreement, cash sweep prepayment of the loan (commercial tranche only) will apply on 100% of the available cash-flow for cash sweep starting from the twentieth repayment date until the thirtieth repayment date ending on 31 March 2028. The Finance Documents require a mandatory cash sweep. In case Al Suwadi Power is able to refinance the loan before the commencement of the cash sweep, dividend distribution may be available to the investors subject to free cash availability.

• The constraints on any payment of a dividend are given by way of a payment waterfall under the CTA, where Al Suwadi Power has given an undertaking that it will only apply revenues to the distribution account, subsequent to the funding of all other project accounts in accordance with the terms of the CTA.

Al Suwadi Power has paid its first dividend amounting to OMR 4,229,500 (Bzs 5.9 per Share based on the current Issued and Paid-Up Shares) on 12 December 2013. After the IPO, it is intended that the shareholders of the Company will receive a stream of cash flows (dividend stream) during the term of the Project and for the post PPA period. The interim dividend is intended to be paid by June 2014 for the benefit of all Shareholders (including the new shareholders) representing a dividend per share of Baiza 1. The dividends are expected to be declared twice in a Financial Year, following each Repayment Date as defined under the Finance Documents. Under the CTA, transfers to Al Suwadi Power’s distribution account are permitted 90 days following each Repayment Date.

The following table shows the forecast of estimated dividends to be declared by Al Suwadi Power to its Shareholders, based on the forecast set out in “Chapter XIV – Projected Financial Information” of this Prospectus.

Chapter XVI

Valuation and Price JustificationOverview

The key strengths of Al Suwadi Power forming the basis of valuation can be categorized as follows:

Strengths arising from the well-established contractual framework of Oman’s power sector

• Stable and predictable cash flows, resilient to shocks in power demand until 2028

Al Suwadi Power has entered into a long term 15-year PPA with OPWP. Under this agreement, Al Suwadi Power receives capacity charges from OPWP (comprising ~97% of the total revenues of Al Suwadi Power in FY 2013, excluding fuel charges) which are payable by OPWP based on Plant availability and regardless of whether Al Suwadi Power is instructed by OPWP to actually generate and deliver power. In effect, this makes the Company immune to power demand fluctuations during the PPA period. This contractual scheme is well proven and has attracted reputable domestic and international investors as well as lenders into power projects in the country. OPWP is owned by the Government of Oman with a credit rating of A1 (Moody’s) and A (S&P) and has a proven track record of timely payments.

• Long term availability of natural gas, no exposure to gas price movements, and hence mitigation of fuel risks

Natural gas is the primary fuel used by Al Suwadi Power. Under the long-term 15-year NGSA entered into by Al Suwadi Power, the MoG is responsible for the procurement and delivery to the Plant of all of its natural gas requirements. Fuel revenues and charges are calculated based on the consumption of natural gas calculated by the Plant model for electrical energy output delivered and therefore the gas price and volume is in effect a virtual pass-through cost, subject to achieving the guaranteed heat rate. In the event that the PPA is extended, the NGSA will automatically be extended. For additional information on the NGSA, please refer to Chapter XI– Contractual Framework of this Prospectus.

Strengths deriving from Al Suwadi Power’s shareholding and technical proficiency

• Experienced Project Founders and Management with an established track record globally, in the GCC and in Oman

Al Suwadi Power has the backing of Project Founders with a demonstrated track record of implementing large and complex independent power and water plants globally, in the GCC, and in Oman. It should be noted that the Project Founders will all remain Shareholders in Al Suwadi Power immediately after the IPO, with a cumulative holding of 65%. The Project Founders are members of reputable international and domestic groups, namely International Power, Suhail Bahwan, Sojitz, Yonden, and PASI.

International Power, which operates under the commercial brand name of GDF SUEZ Energy International, is a global leader in independent power generation. It has a strong presence in its markets with 72.9 GW gross (37.4 GW net) capacity in operation and 8.4 GW gross (4.4 GW net) capacity of projects under construction as at 31 December 2013. GDF Suez Energy International is a proven international power plant developer and operator, with a strong track record in the Middle East and internationally, and has vast expertise with Siemens AG’s SGT5-4000F turbines, which are used in the Plant. With equity participation in Sohar IWPP (585 MW), Al Rusayl (665 MW) and Barka 2 IWPP (678 MW), Al Kamil (285 MW), Al Suwadi Power (744 MW) and Al Batinah Power (744 MW), International Power is the largest private power producer in Oman. For further information on the Project Sponsors, please refer to Chapter VII – Shareholding Details of this Prospectus.

• Fuel-efficient power plant

Al Suwadi Power’s CCGT power plant has a thermal efficiency of above 57% (together with Al Batinah Power’s CCGT, the most fuel-efficient plants in Oman), which is higher than the GCC average of ~50%. The higher efficiency results in lesser fuel being burnt leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions and to lower life-cycle costs, which positions the Plant as a competitive asset in the post-PPA period.

• O&M contracted with STOMO, the leading O&M operator in Oman

Al Suwadi Power has entered into an O&M agreement with STOMO, the largest provider of operation and maintenance services in the Sultanate of Oman. Since STOMO is indirectly majority-owned by GDF SUEZ Energy International, it represents a firm alignment of interest with Al Suwadi Power. The O&M Agreement contains provisions for incentives and penalties, on ordinary arms’ length commercial terms, linked to achievement of certain availability and heat rate targets. The maintenance of the gas turbines, which is a specialized activity, has been subcontracted on a long-term basis by STOMO to Siemens AG, whose capabilities in this area are among the best globally. With such long-term O&M contracting, operating costs are well under control and form an integral part of the predictable cash flows of Al Suwadi Power.

• Largest power plant in operation at a single location in Oman

Al Suwadi Power’s Barka-3 Plant is Oman’s largest power Plant (on an equal footing with the Sohar-2 power plant owned by Al Batinah Power) in terms of installed electrical capacity. The contracted power capacity of 744 MW represents c.13.3% of Oman’s MIS total currently contracted capacity (5589 MW) – which is significant and of strategic importance to the country.

• On-time commissioning of the Plant with an industry-leading reliability of 99.7%

The Plant was completed with a delay in COD of merely 3 days, although no delay penalties were payable to OPWP. Also, the plant has been in full commercial operation for over 12 months, and achieved a reliability of c.99.7% in 2013 - which indicates a forced outage rate of ~0.3% - much lesser than the IPA assumed long-term average of 2%. There are no outstanding liquidated damages either with OPWP or with the EPC contractor.

• Good competitive position and hence considerable value in the post PPA period

In 2013, annual demand in the MIS for electricity was 23.8 TWh. According to IPA’s analysis, this is expected to almost triple by the end of the PPA period. In IPA’s view, the capacity of existing plants and firm new builds in the MIS will not be sufficient to cover demand thereafter. Also, due to its high thermal efficiency, any possible technological obsolescence of the Plant is not expected to cause a significant disadvantage versus future new builds, while it will continue to be better placed than other plants currently in existence. Hence there will be significant value from keeping the plant online post PPA period either by extending the off-take agreement under the single buyer approach or by allowing the plant to operate in a liberalized market for power. The base case average annual EBITDA projected by IPA for Al Suwadi Power from the expiry of the PPA period to 2053 is RO53mn.

Offer Price

The Offer Price of Bzs 128 (excluding Bzs 2 as issue expenses) per Share for Al Suwadi Power is based on two broad valuation methodologies that have been used in the past for power sector IPOs in Oman and take into consideration the current market conditions.

Valuation Methodologies

The methods used are as follows:

– Discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation; and

– Relative valuation

These methods along with their advantages and disadvantages have been explained here:

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Valuation Method

The DCF method of valuation captures the value of a company based on estimated future cash flows, discounted to a present value. This present value is then generally used to evaluate the attractiveness of an investment opportunity at a given price.

Advantages of DCF method Disadvantages of DCF method

- DCF is one of the most theoretically sound valuation methods.

- Forward-looking analysis, based on cash flow (and, therefore, less influenced by accounting rules), and takes account of all contractual arrangements as well as expected operating strategy.

- Less influenced by volatile market conditions.

- Allows a valuation of the entire business or of each of its components separately.

- Valuation is sensitive to underlying assumptions for future cash flows (mitigated by the presence of long term contracts in place in the case of Al Suwadi Power) and discount rate.

- In absence of long term contracts, the valuation depends on long-term projections, which may be affected by technological, macroeconomic and regulatory changes.

Relative Valuation Method

Under the Relative Valuation approach, the valuation is benchmarked against other listed comparables which represent a similar risk return profile i.e. operations, cash flows, capital structure, growth plans etc. The relative valuation is generally based on current financial results or projections for the next 1 to 2 years. The benchmarks which are frequently used for relative valuation include the price to earnings multiple, the EV/EBITDA multiple, the dividend yield and the price to book multiple.

Advantages of Relative Valuation method Disadvantages of Relative Valuation method

- Based on publicly available information.

- Market efficiency theoretically implies that trading valuation should reflect all publicly available information.

- Can indicate the value of a company without reflecting a control premium.

- Takes into consideration current market conditions.

- It may be difficult to find a sample of truly comparable companies considering operational history, technology and configuration differences, remaining contracted period, debt financing terms, etc.

- Valuation may be affected by thin trading, small capitalization, ownership restrictions, limited coverage etc.

- External variables such as M&A activity and regulatory scrutiny may affect stock prices.

Applicability of DCF for valuing Al Suwadi Power

Cash flows for discounting

Al Suwadi Power has a stable business model (based on the well-established contractual framework as discussed earlier in this Chapter) with reliable projected dividend distributions to investors, which are relevant for discounting purpose. The approach is consistent with the IPO valuation of all power companies in Oman in the past where projected dividends were discounted for DCF valuation.

Cash flow projections for the PPA and post PPA periods

Al Suwadi Power’s operating cash flows can be estimated with relative certainty for the PPA period (i.e. until March 2028), while the projections for post PPA period cash flows (i.e. until March 2053) have been provided by IPA, an independent consultant, appointed on behalf of investors. IPA’s estimates involve a number of assumptions including demand for power, available capacities, alternative sources, tariffs, availability of gas, pricing of gas, off-take arrangements etc. IPA, based on its experience in more than 80 countries, has developed projected cash flows of Al Suwadi Power under 27 different scenarios. For the purpose of DCF valuation of Al Suwadi Power, projected cash flows under three cases have been considered assuming the Plants operate beyond the PPA period. The highest cash flows as optimistic case, the lowest cash flows as the pessimistic case and the base case as provided by IPA. The projections for capital expenditures have been based on estimates provided by Al Suwadi Power.

DCF Valuation

Valuation per share

The price per Share based on projected dividend flows under various scenarios is as follows:

9% 181.4 254 50%

10% 154.5 216 41%

IncludespostPPAcashflowsforecastedbyIPA

Internal rate of return (IRR)

Based on projected dividend flows (including the post-PPA cash flows forecasted by IPA) under the base case scenario, the projected IRR for the IPO investors is c.14%. Numerous valuation sensitivity cases were run using key post-PPA period inputs. This analysis reflected movement in the valuation of Al Suwadi Power of +/- 0.7% around the Base Case investor IRR.

Chapter XX

Market InformationBackground

The MSM was established on 21 June 1988 by Royal Decree 53/88 and is the only stock exchange in Oman. Subsequently, on 9 November 1998, Royal Decree 80/98 promulgating the Capital Market Law established the CMA as regulator of the stock exchange. The MSM is a governmental entity subject to the supervision of the CMA. The CMA has issued a Code of Corporate Governance for companies listed on the MSM, which was most recently amended in October 2012.

The MSM Index was established in 1992 with a base date of June 1990. The number of companies included in the index sample has increased over time, and currently stands at 30 companies.

Listing Requirements

Prior to applying for listing on the MSM, a company is required to obtain the approval of the CMA and the General Manager of the MSM. The applicant is required to submit a listing application to the MSM within one month from the date of registration along with the following documents and information:

• certificate of commercial registration;

• list of authorised signatories and specimens of their signatures;

• copies of the company’s memorandum and articles of association;

• the prospectus relating to the offering;

• an attested copy of the minutes of the constitutive general meeting; and

• any additional requirements of the CMA.

Reporting Requirements

Each listed company must, amongst other things:

• prepare quarterly unaudited financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of the financial year in the prescribed form within 30 days from the end of the quarter (45 days for those with subsidiaries) and disclose the same immediately after approval by the Board;

• the quarterly unaudited financial statements referred to in the previous paragraph would include total sales or revenues, sales costs or total expenses, net profit after deduction of tax and any other items required by CMA;

• prepare annual audited financial statements in accordance with IFRS and file the same to the CMA within two months from the end of the financial year or 14 days prior to the general meeting of the company;

• immediately inform the CMA in the event of, amongst other things: a change of name or address; amendment to its memorandum and/or articles of association of the company; a change of any director or member of the management team of the company, giving reasons; closure of any branch or termination of dealing with any agent; change of external auditor of the company; any attachment or mortgage on the company’s assets; any unexpected losses affecting the financial position of the company, giving reasons; and any proceedings instituted by or against the company that may have a material impact on the financial position of the company.

Clearance and Settlement

MCDC is responsible for maintaining shareholder records and providing custody services for securities and investment funds listed on the MSM, bonds traded on the MSM, and other securities issued by the Government. All transactions in the MSM are settled on a book-entry clearing basis on T+3.

95

Page 106: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

SettlementMethod

The MSM has adopted a multilateral netting system under which transactions are cleared and settled on a net basis by a broker. After the clearing of the transactions by the MSM, the transfers of securities ownership is done through the book-entry system which is operated by the MSM.

SettlementProcedure

At the end of each trading session, the amount of securities and money to be delivered and/or paid on the settlement day is determined through the netting process and reflected in the MCDC settlement report. Transactions are finally settled on T+3 in the way of delivery against payment. Ownership of purchased securities are transferred among investors’ trading accounts and the cash settlement is done among brokers through the designated settlement bank.

Trading

Trading in securities is carried out on the MSM over five working days per week, excluding official holidays, and for not less than two hours a day.

The MSM has an electronic trading system which:

• automatically blocks purchase orders which exceed the limits of the broker’s bank guarantee or reach the limit of the special order provided by law; and

• enables all companies and entities whose securities are listed in the MSM, and their registrars, to view the register of their own shares.

Before an investor can trade in securities on the MSM, it needs to apply for and obtain a shareholder’s number from the MCDC, the issuance of which automatically triggers the creation of an investor account for the custody of securities traded in the MSM. Each investor can be allocated a shareholder’s number, only. Once the investor has received its shareholder’s number, the MSM allocates the investor a trading account with a licensed broker. Individual investors who seek to trade securities on the MSM need to maintain a direct securities account with the MCDC and a trading account with an accredited broker.

Investors must establish a trading account with an MSM-accredited broker before they can commence trading. When an account is opened, the applicant becomes an investor participant and is entitled to issue instructions for trading in securities. Trades in all securities are settled in dematerialised form.

The shareholder’s number identifies the investor account at the MCDC used to transfer shares to and from the account each time the investor buys or sells shares. When the investor intends to sell shares, he is required to transfer the quantities of shares to his broker trading account.

The process of securities trading starts when an investor formally requests his broker to purchase or sell a security, according to specific conditions.

An investor is responsible for all costs associated with trading securities and is required to pay, upon request of his broker, all the amounts necessary to cover his transactions, in particular the purchasing price and commissions or other fees required by the MSM.

TradingSystem

The MSM operates on an automated screen-based and order-driven trading system which matches buying and selling orders of the investors. Investors can place their orders with the MSM accredited brokers, who enter these orders into the trading system. Then, the system automatically matches buy and sell orders of a particular security based on the price and quantity requirements.

The trading system also generates and displays details of current and historical trading activity, including prices, volumes traded and outstanding buy and sell orders.

An off-market trading mechanism also exists, known as the ‘special order’ process.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the disclosure requirements of the Commercial Companies Law of 1974, as amended, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2011, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in financial valuation of derivative financial instruments.

Significant accounting policies

(a) Foreign currency

(i) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s functional currency and also in Rial Omani (“RO”). The Omani Rial amounts, which are presented in these financial statements have been translated from the USD amounts at an exchange rate of US $ 1 = RO 0.3845.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at

the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available for sale equity instruments or qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

(b) Financial instruments

(i) Non derivative financial instrument

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, demand deposits, fixed deposits and term deposits with original maturity not greater than three months. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs.

(ii) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. On initial designation of the hedge, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80% to 125%. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported net income.

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

(iii) Cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. The amount recognised in other comprehensive income is removed and included in profit or loss in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss under the same line item in the statement of comprehensive income as the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity remains there until the forecast transaction affects profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to the

115

Page 126: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

carrying amount of the asset when the asset is derecognised. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in other comprehensive income is recognised immediately in profit or loss. In other cases the amount recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.

(c) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. Cost also may include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and the difference is recognised in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Company. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of items of furniture and equipment. The estimated useful economic life of furniture and equipment is 3 years.

Management reassess the useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods for plant and equipment annually.

(iv) Capital work in progress

Capital work in progress is measured at cost and is not depreciated until it is transferred into one of the fixed asset categories, which occurs when the assets is ready for intended use.

(v) Inventory

Inventory comprises of fuel oil and is stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.

116

(d) Impairment

(i) Financial assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Non – financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation that was credited to equity, in which case it is charged to equity.

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(e) Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Interest-bearing liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

(f) Employee terminal benefits

Obligations for contributions to a defined contribution retirement plan for Omani employees, in accordance with the Oman Social Insurance Scheme, are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred. The Company’s obligation in respect of terminal benefits of non-Omani employees, is the amount of future benefit that such employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods.

(g) Provisions

A provision is recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

(h) Borrowing costs

Interest expense and similar charges are expensed in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use or sale.

(i) Income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

(j) New standards and interpretation not yet effective

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2011, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these will have an effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Determination of fair value

Derivative financial instruments

Fair value of forward exchange contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using yield curves of the respective currencies.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Company and counterparty when appropriate.

15(b) The equity bridge loans (see note 12) and shareholders loans (see note 13) in the amount of USD 184.5 million bear interest at US LIBOR plus applicable margins.

(a) Marketrisk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interestraterisk

The Company has borrowings which are interest bearing and exposed to changes in US LIBOR rates. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its US LIBOR risk exposure on 100% of its total loan facilities, including equity bridge loans and shareholders loans, excluding Hermes Covered Fixed Facility and Commercial Standby Facility.

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and the Company does not designate hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore a change in interest rate at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial liabilities was:

Currencyrisk

The price under the O&M Agreement includes an amount of approximately Euro 128 million, payable in Euro. The Company has entered into FRA to hedge against fluctuations in Euro/USD exchange rate (note 15(c)). The Euro amounts hedged cover 70% of outflows for the period upto March 2018, 50% for the period April 2018 to March 2023 and 30% thereafter.

Apart from above, Management considers that the Company is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk because all transactions and balances are either in RO or USD and RO is effectively pegged to the USD.

(b) Creditrisk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and cash balances held with banks.

At 31 December 2011, the Company has not yet commenced commercial operations and accordingly there is no credit risk arising from OPWP.

The Company limits its credit risk with regard to bank deposits by only dealing with reputable banks and financial institutions.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

688,967 1,791,849 19,640,527 51,080,696

(c) Liquidityrisk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company limits its liquidity risk by ensuring bank facilities, equity bridge loans and shareholders’ loans are available, where required. Liquidity requirements are monitored on a monthly basis and management ensures that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet any commitments as they arise.

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amount.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

• Level 1 – Fair values are measured based on quoted prices (unadjusted) from active markets for identical financial instruments.

• Level 2 – Fair values are measured using inputs, other than those used for Level 1, that are observable for the financial instruments either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)

• Level 3 – Fair values are measured using inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable input).

Derivative financial liabilities 18,481,073 48,065,209 967,545 2,516,371

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.

Embedded derivatives

The following agreements contain embedded derivatives as follows:

(i) The PPA between the Company and OPWP contain embedded derivatives in the pricing formulae that adjusts the charge rates for the Plant to reflect changes in USD / RO currency exchange rates and changes in US price index and the Oman price index.

(ii) The O & M agreement contains embedded derivatives in the pricing formulae that adjust the payments to reflect changes in the relevant inflation indices.

These embedded derivative are not separated from the host contract, the PPA and the O&M agreements, and is not accounted for as a standalone derivative under IAS 39, as the management believes that the economic characteristics and risks associated with the embedded derivatives are closely related to those of the host contracts.

Capital management

The Company aims to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its businesses, while at the same time maintaining an appropriate dividend policy to reward shareholders.

17 Contingent liabilities

The Company has provided a bank guarantee from Bank Muscat SAOG in the amount of RO 30,000,000 (USD 78,023,407) in favour of OPWP.

This bank guarantee is counter indemnified by Corporate Guarantees and bank guarantees fromthe Shareholders.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

3 Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and applicable requirements of the Oman Commercial Companies Law of 1974 (as amended).

(b) Basis of measurement

These financial statements are prepared on historical cost basis except for deferred finance cost which is measured at amortised cost and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

139

Page 150: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in financial valuation of derivative financial instruments.

Significant accounting policies

(a) Foreign currency

(i) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s functional currency and also in Rial Omani (“RO”). The Omani Rial amounts, which are presented in these financial statements have been translated from the USD amounts at an exchange rate of US $ 1 = RO 0.3845.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions

In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the reporting date.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

Translation gains and losses related to monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, with the exception of those related to monetary items that qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge that are recognized initially in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective.

(b) Financial instruments

(i) Non derivative financial instrument

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, demand deposits, fixed deposits and term deposits with original maturity not greater than three months. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs.

(ii) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. On initial designation of the hedge, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated,

140

Page 151: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80% to 125%. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported net income.

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

(iii) Cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. The amount recognised in other comprehensive income is removed and included in profit or loss in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss under the same line item in the statement of comprehensive income as the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity remains there until the forecast transaction affects profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is derecognised. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in other comprehensive income is recognised immediately in profit or loss. In other cases the amount recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.

(c) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. Cost also may include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and the difference is recognised in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Company. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset less its residual value.

Management reassess the useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods for plant and equipment annually. The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

Years Property, plant and equipment 30 Technical spares 25 Other assets 3

(d) Capital work in progress

Capital work in progress is measured at cost and is not depreciated until it is transferred into one of the fixed asset categories, which occurs when the assets is ready for intended use.

(i) Inventory

Inventory comprises of fuel oil and is stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.

(ii) Impairment

(iii) Financial assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(iv) Non – financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation that was credited to equity, in which case it is charged to equity.

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(e) Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Interest-bearing liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

(f) Employee terminal benefits

Obligations for contributions to a defined contribution retirement plan for Omani employees, in accordance with the Oman Social Insurance Scheme, are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred. The Company’s obligation in respect of terminal benefits of non-Omani employees, is the amount of future benefit that such employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods.

(g) Provisions

A provision is recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

(h) Borrowing costs

Interest expense and similar charges are expensed in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use or sale.

(i) Revenue

Revenue comprises tariffs for power capacity and electrical energy charges. Tariffs are calculated in accordance with the PPA. The operating revenue is recognised by the Company on an accrual basis of accounting. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainities regarding recovery of the consideration due.

(j) Income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

(k) New standards and interpretation not yet effective

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2012, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these will have an effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Determination of fair value

Derivative financial instruments

Fair value of forward exchange contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using yield curves of the respective currencies.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Company and counterparty when appropriate.

20 Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

• Market risk

• Credit risk

• Liquidity risk

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishing and overseeing the Company’s risk management framework. The Board has entrusted the Management with the responsibility of developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and its compliance with them.

(a) Marketrisk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interestraterisk

The Company has borrowings which are interest bearing and exposed to changes in US LIBOR rates. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its US LIBOR risk exposure on 100% of its total loan facilities, including equity bridge loans and shareholders loans, excluding Hermes Covered Fixed Facility and Commercial Standby Facility.

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and the Company does not designate hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore a change in interest rate at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and income statement by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

Equity

Interest rate swap 17,442,650 (4,573,319) 45,364,500 (11,894,198)

Currencyrisk

The price under the O&M Agreement includes an amount of approximately Euro 128 million, payable in Euro. The Company has entered into FRA to hedge against fluctuations in Euro/USD exchange rate (note 15(c)). The Euro amounts hedged cover 70% of outflows for the period upto March 2018, 50% for the period April 2018 to March 2023 and 30% thereafter. Apart from above, Management considers that the Company is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk because all transactions and balances are either in RO or USD and RO is effectively pegged to the USD.

Sensitivityanalysis:

A strengthening (weakening) of the Euro against all other currencies at 31 December would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Company considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

Apart from above, Management considers that the Company is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk because all transactions and balances are either in RO or USD and RO is effectively pegged to the USD.

(b)Creditrisk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and cash balances held with banks.

The Company limits its credit risk with regard to bank deposits by only dealing with reputable banks and financial institutions.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

4,751,712 12,358,158 688,967 1,791,849

(c) Liquidityrisk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company limits its liquidity risk by ensuring bank facilities, equity bridge loans and shareholders’ loans are available, where required.

Liquidity requirements are monitored on a monthly basis and management ensures that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet any commitments as they arise.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

• Level 1 – Fair values are measured based on quoted prices (unadjusted) from active markets for identical financial instruments.

• Level 2 – Fair values are measured using inputs, other than those used for Level 1, that are observable for the financial instruments either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)

• Level 3 – Fair values are measured using inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable input).

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.

Embedded derivatives

The following agreements contain embedded derivatives as follows:

The PPA between the Company and OPWP contain embedded derivatives in the pricing formulae that adjusts the charge rates for the Plant to reflect changes in USD / RO currency exchange rates and changes in US price index and the Oman price index.

The O & M agreement contains embedded derivatives in the pricing formulae that adjust the payments to reflect changes in the relevant inflation indices.

These embedded derivative are not separated from the host contract, the PPA and the O&M agreements, and is not accounted for as a standalone derivative under IAS 39, as the management believes that the economic characteristics and risks associated with the embedded derivatives are closely related to those of the host contracts.

Capital management

The Company aims to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its businesses, while at the same time maintaining an appropriate dividend policy to reward shareholders.

21 Contingent liabilities

The Company has provided a bank guarantee from Bank Muscat SAOG in the amount of RO 30,000,000 (USD 78,023,407) in favour of OPWP.

This bank guarantee is counter indemnified by Corporate Guarantees and bank guarantees fromthe Shareholders.

3. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

a) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and applicable requirements of the Oman Commercial Companies Law of 1974 (as amended).

b) Basis of measurement

These financial statements are prepared on historical cost basis except for provision for site restoration and deferred finance cost which are measured at amortised cost and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

168

Page 179: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

c) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in financial valuation of derivative financial instruments.

Measurement of fair value

The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:

• Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument.

• Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable inputs. This category includes instruments valued using quoted market prices in the active market for similar instruments, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active, or other valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.

• Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices of similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.

Significant accounting policies

d) Foreign currency

i) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s functional currency and also in Rial Omani (“RO”). The Omani Rial amounts, which are presented in these financial statements have been translated from the USD amounts at an exchange rate of US $ 1 = RO 0.3845.

ii) Foreign currency transactions

In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the reporting date.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

Translation gains and losses related to monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, with the exception of those related to monetary items that qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge that are recognized initially in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective.

e) Financial instruments

i) Non derivative financial instrument

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, demand deposits, fixed deposits and term deposits with original maturity not greater than three months. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

169

Page 180: Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG - bankdhofar.com · Al Suwadi Power Company SAOG (under transformation) P.O. Box 39, Bareeq Al Shatti 103, Suites 501 & 512 Business Centre Bldg. No.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs.

ii) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. On initial designation of the hedge, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80% to 125%. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported net income.

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

iii) Cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. The amount recognised in other comprehensive income is removed and included in profit or loss in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss under the same line item in the statement of comprehensive income as the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity remains there until the forecast transaction affects profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is derecognised. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in other comprehensive income is recognised immediately in profit or loss. In other cases the amount recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.

f) Property, plant and equipment

i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. Cost also may include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and the difference is recognised in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Company. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset less its residual value.

Management reassess the useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods for plant and equipment annually. The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

Years

Property, plant and equipment 40 De-commissioning asset 40 Technical spares 25 Other assets 3

iv) Capital work in progress

Capital work in progress is measured at cost and is not depreciated until it is transferred into one of the fixed asset categories, which occurs when the assets is ready for intended use.

v) Asset retirement obligation

A liability for asset retirement obligation is recognized as the activities giving rise to the obligation of future site restoration take place. The liability is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be incurred on the basis of current technology. The liability includes all costs associated with site restoration, including plant closure and monitoring costs.

g) Inventory

Inventory comprises of fuel oil and is stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.

h) Impairment

i) Financial assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

ii) Non – financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation that was credited to equity, in which case it is charged to equity.

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

i) Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Interest-bearing liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

j) Employee terminal benefits

Obligations for contributions to a defined contribution retirement plan for Omani employees, in accordance with the Oman Social Insurance Scheme, are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred. The Company’s obligation in respect of terminal benefits of non-Omani employees, is the amount of future benefit that such employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods.

k) Provisions

A provision is recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

l) Borrowing costs

Interest expense and similar charges are expensed in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use or sale.

m) Deferred financing cost

The cost of obtaining long-term financing is deferred and amortised over the period of the long term loan using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs less accumulated amortisation are offset against the drawn amount of the term loans. The amortization of the deferred financing costs will be capitalized during construction period of the plant except during the early power period during which period a proportionate amount of the amortization will be charged to the profit or loss. Subsequent to the PCOD, the amortization of the deferred financing costs is charged to the profit or loss.

n) Revenue

Revenue comprises tariffs for power capacity and electrical energy charges. Tariffs are calculated in accordance with the PPA. The operating revenue is recognised by the Company on an accrual basis of accounting. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainities regarding recovery of the consideration due.

o) Income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

p) New standards and interpretation not yet effective

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the period ended 31 December 2013, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Company are set out below.

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. IFRS 9 introduces additions relating to financial liabilities. The IASB currently has an active project to make limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and add new requirements to address the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard and does not plan to adopt early.

q) New standards and interpretation applied during the year

During the year, following new standards were applied in preparing the financial statements with no significant effect on the current year.

IAS 1: Presentation of financial statements

IAS 1 has amended and the name of statement of comprehensive income is changed to statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

IFRS 13: Fair value measurements

IFRS 13 provides a single source of guidance on how fair value is measured, and replaces the fair value measurement guidance that is currently dispersed throughout IFRS. Subject to limited exceptions, IFRS 13 is applied when fair value measurements or disclosures are required or permitted by other IFRSs.

r) Determination of fair value

i) Derivative financial instruments

Fair value of forward exchange contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using yield curves of the respective currencies.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates.

Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Company and counterparty when appropriate.

iii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

This technique reflects assumptions such as costs, plant useful life, inflation and profit margin that third parties would consider to assume the settlement of the obligation. The movement in ARO provision is as follows:

13. Liquidated damages

As per the EPC contract the Early Power Commercial Operation Date (“EPCOD”) was scheduled for 1 May 2012. Actual EPCOD was achieved on 18 August 2012 resulting in a delay of 109 days for which the Company has invoiced liquidated damages (“LDs”) to the EPC Contractor (“EPCC”). The full amount of the 109 days LDs have been acknowledged by the EPCC and have been offset by the Company against EPCC progress payments as at 31 December 2013. Similarly LDs payable to the OPWP have been accrued for 108 days of which 99 days LDs have been offset by OPWP against the invoices raised by the Company as at 31 December 2013. As per the EPC contract, the COD was scheduled for 1 April 2013. Actual COD was achieved on 4 April 2013. The Company has invoiced LDs to the EPCC for the 3 days delay which have been acknowledged by them. No LDs have been accrued as payable since OPWP has granted relief for the 3 days.

On 28 September 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the EPC Contractor which determined all outstanding matters between the two parties. As part of this Settlement Agreement, the EPC Contractor agreed to compensate the Company for claims regarding liquidated damages and other payments to be made by the EPC Contractors to the Company (note 7 and 10).

14. Equity contribution

21 Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

• Market risk

• Credit risk

• Liquidity risk

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishing and overseeing the Company’s risk management framework. The Board has entrusted the Management with the responsibility of developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and its compliance with them.

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interestraterisk

The Company has borrowings which are interest bearing and exposed to changes in US LIBOR rates. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its US LIBOR risk exposure on 100% of its total loan facilities, including equity bridge loans and shareholders loans, excluding Hermes Covered Fixed Facility and Commercial Standby Facility.

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and the Company does not designate hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore a change in interest rate at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and income statement by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

Currencyrisk

The price under the O&M Agreement includes an amount of approximately Euro 128 million, payable in Euro. The Company has entered into FRA to hedge against fluctuations in Euro/USD exchange rate (note 21(c)). The Euro amounts hedged cover 70% of outflows for the period upto March 2018, 50% for the period April 2018 to March 2023 and 30% thereafter. Apart from above, Management considers that the Company is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk because all transactions and balances are either in RO or USD and RO is effectively pegged to the USD.

Sensitivityanalysis

A strengthening (weakening) of the Euro against all other currencies at 31 December would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Company considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

Apart from above, Management considers that the Company is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk because all transactions and balances are either in RO or USD and RO is effectively pegged to the USD.

(b) Creditrisk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and cash balances held with banks.

The Company limits its credit risk with regard to bank deposits by only dealing with reputable banks and financial institutions.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

(c) Liquidityrisk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company limits its liquidity risk by ensuring bank facilities, equity bridge loans and shareholders’ loans are available, where required.

Liquidity requirements are monitored on a monthly basis and management ensures that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet any commitments as they arise.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

• Level 1 – Fair values are measured based on quoted prices (unadjusted) from active markets for identical financial instruments.

• Level 2 – Fair values are measured using inputs, other than those used for Level 1, that are observable for the financial instruments either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)

• Level 3 – Fair values are measured using inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable input).

Embedded derivatives

The following agreements contain embedded derivatives as follows:

i) The PPA between the Company and OPWP contain embedded derivatives in the pricing formulae that adjusts the charge rates for the Plant to reflect changes in USD / RO currency exchange rates and changes in US price index and the Oman price index.

ii) The O & M agreement contains embedded derivatives in the pricing formulae that adjust the payments to reflect changes in the relevant inflation indices.

These embedded derivatives are not separated from the host contract, the PPA and the O&M agreements, and is not accounted for as a standalone derivative under IAS 39, as the management believes that the economic characteristics and risks associated with the embedded derivatives are closely related to those of the host contracts.

Capital management

The Company aims to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its businesses, while at the same time maintaining an appropriate dividend policy to reward shareholders.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AL SUWADI POWER COMPANY SAOC

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statement of financial position of Al Suwadi Power Company SAOC (“the Company”) as at 31 March 2014, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, the condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of the cash flows for the period then ended, and notes to the interim financial information (“the condensed interim financial information”). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.

A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information as at 31 March 2014 is not prepared, in all material respect, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
