Energy and Electricity in 2015 (Reality and Achievements)

Jordan made significant efforts for seeking solutions for the energy and electricity crisis, which formed the biggest challenge to Jordan Economy, caused by the high increase of crude oil international prices specifically during the last five years, which was directly reflected on the cost of the primary energy consumed in Jordan due to the fact that Jordan imports from abroad about (97%) of its primary energy. The energy file in Jordan forms a heavy burden on the government and on the Jordan economy caused by the high cost of the primary energy bill, resulted from the increased dependence on the use of primary energy resources of high cost, such as heavy fuel oil and diesel oil in electricity generation to compensate for the outage of the least cost natural gas imported from Egypt. For facing these challenges imposed on the energy sector in Jordan, all possible alternatives and appropriate solutions on the short and long terms must be highlighted.Based on this vision, the Jordanian government has adopted a Comprehensive Strategy for Energy in Jordan. This strategy concentrated in general on the importance of utilizing the local energy resources and the renewable energy resources in Jordan for facing the future electricity demand in such a way to secure providing electrical energy to consumers at a least cost, high security of power supply, variety of resources and stability of prices. This approach will in turn reduce the dependency on the imported energy resources which will result in reducing the primary energy bill on the Jordan economy.In this context, the implementation of many projects for constructing electrical energy generating stations commenced during the year 2015. These stations utilize the renewable energy resources (solar and wind energy) and they are included within the first and the second rounds of direct offers of the electric energy projects, in addition to the existing projects which utilize the local energy resources (oil shale and Uranium raw material), pointing out that the agreement of constructing the first generating station fuelled by direct burning the oil shale was signed. Furthermore, all the required studies concerned with the construction of the first project of generating electricity utilizing the technology of the developed nuclear reactors are currently in progress. The most important achievements, in terms of the energy and electricity sectors, determined during the year 2015 were as follows:

3- Critical accounting estimates and judgmentsThe company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.Property and equipmentThe company reviewed the estimated useful life of property and equipment and depreciation method to verify that it’s reflects the used economic benefits and in case there is a difference it will be treated as changes in estimates (in the year of change and subsequent years).InventoryThe company reviewed the estimated for inventory periodically, depending on his condition and it’s stay period in warehouses in addition to estimating the value realizable in the future. Spare parts that didn’t move for more than 5 years are depreciated by 15% annually and deducted from initial cost for each unit.

Income tax The company is subject to income tax and significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As aresult, the company recognizes tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest will be due.

4- Accounting policiesProperty and equipmentItems of property and equipment are initially recognized at cost. As well as the purchase price, cost includes directly attributable costs.Depreciation on projects under construction does not commence until they are complete and available for use. Depreciation is provided on all other items of property, plant and equipment so as to write off their carrying value over their expected useful economic lives. It is provided at the following rates:

Asset Depreciation %Buildings 2-3.3Transmission lines 2.5Transformation stations 3.3Land lines 2.8Transmission lines- sea cable 2.5Fiber optics communication tools 10Furniture and office equipment 10Vehicles 20Tools and equipment 10Operators and communication devices 5Control and monitoring devices 12.5Computers 20Other equipment 10Legal compensation assets* 10Others 3-20

Items of property and equipment are derecognized upon disposal or when the items are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the asset is derecognized.(*) According to the decision of the Electricity Regulatory Commission in its meeting held on 18 October

2003, compensations paid by electricity companies to land lords whom electricity networks pass by their lands are considered capital expenditures as they appear in the statement of financial position under legal compensation assets that are depreciated over 10 years, compensations paid during the year are capitalized at the end of the fiscal period starting from 1 January 2003.

Subscribers’ contributionsSubscribers’ contributions are recorded at the amounts receivedfrom major consumers in order to build private transformation stations for them. Those contributions are classified as non-current assets under property and equipment and conversely as non-current liabilities.

subscriber’s contributions are amortized at straight line method by %4 annually from the contributed value at the end of the year according to the ministerial instructions referred to in the prime ministry’s letter number 3/11/6189 dated on 4 June 1985.

InventoriesInventories are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Financial assets The Company classifies its financial assets into one of the categories discussed below, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Company has not classified any of its financial assets as held to maturity.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are strategicinvestments in other companies’ stocksthat are not held for trading.

Financial assets through other comprehensive are recognized at fair value plus other expenses occurred upon purchasing and it’s revaluated at fair value. Changes in fair value appear in other comprehensive income and equity.

Loans and receivablesThese assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (e.g. trade receivables), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. They are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment.Impairment provisions are recognized when there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default or significant delay in payment) that the Group will be unable to collect all of the amounts due under the terms receivable, the amount of such a provision being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable. For trade receivables, which are reported net, such provisions are recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognized within administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. On confirmation that the trade receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision. According to the company’s policy a trade receivable is accrued after 30 days of the invoice issuance date.

of past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risk and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.When some or all the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

5. General objectives, policies and processes The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company finance function.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:

Credit riskCredit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a costumer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is mainly exposed to credit risk from credit sales. Usually those risks considered immaterial because the company deals with distribution companies with an acceptable credit rating.

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents. For banks, the Company deals with banks with an acceptable credit rating.

Market riskMarket risk arises from the Company use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk).

Fair value and interest rate riskFinancial instruments will expose the company to cash flow interest rate risk from financial instruments at variable rate. The company is not exposed to this type of risk due to not holding any financial instruments at variable rates.

Foreign exchange riskForeign exchange risk arises when company has financial transactions/ deals in a currency other than their functional currency. The company is exposed to this type of risk due to loans in foreign currencies.
